Mr.. Atkinson, the representative OF Sir
John Ashley, says Rowell has received quite
q number OF threatening letters. He has also
received letter warning him to be on the
watch to-day, as some roughs intended, IL
possible, to prevent Rowell from winning.
The letter also located places In the garden
where an attack might be looked for, and adj
vised that a force of police be stationed there.
Police officers are now stationed Mt intervals
around the track, to preserve order and pre-
vent interference with the pedestrians. Atkin-
son says Rowel suffers from nothing except
blstered feet. He eats plenty of solid food,
and devOurs about twenty orangers a day.
1t Is now believed that Hartman will cover
his 450 miles and save his gate money. 1t Is
stated that both Ennis and 0'Leary will
challenge Rowel for the belt.
Rumors are still current of trouble at the
garden tonight and to prevent this a detail
OF 400 police has been on hand. III any
demonstration is made Rowell will be sur
rounded and accompanied around the track
by the police.
Bets of $500 to $50 were made that Ennis
can run five miles without stopping after the
match Is over. His movements, however, do
not warrant such an assumption. Ennis

NEW YORK, March l5.-The following order
Is been issued:
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-03-19

The St. Peter Tribune spea axis as
follows in regard to the interest bill
passed at the last session of the
Legislature:
The bill fixing the legal rate of
interest in Minnesota at ten per cent.
has become law. Although passed
ostensibly in the interest of the poor
man, we have good reason for be-
lieving it was pushed through in the
interest of St. Paul and Minneapo.
lis, where with the securities that
can be offered in those cities money
will be abundant at less than ten
per cent. while the poor man will
find it difficult with his doubtful Sc.
curity to make loans at ten per cent.
During harvest time many farmers
need small loans for few weeks,
but lenders are not anxious to make
such loans at low rates, and the Dor.
rover is willing to pay the difference
OF a dollar or two in interest for the
accommodation just at the time he
wants it. We may be mistaken in
our opinion of this bill, but we ask
our readers to watch it's practical
operation and see if it does not work
against the very class whom it pro-
tesses to benefit.

ELIHU BURRITT DEAD.

Ellhu Burrltt, Familiarity known
as the ''learned Blacksmith died
at his home in New Britain, Conn,
on the 9Th inst. Mr.. Burritt was
SO years old at the time of his death.
1t may be truly said of him that he
wore himself out in unremittine
toll for the elevation and improve
1aen of the human race. Thong h an
American by birth he belonged to
the world. He was in the truest sense
Il self made man. His father was a
poor shoemaker of the olden time,
doing his cobbling beside the kitch.
ell fire in winter and working a
small farm in the summer. Elihu
was the youngest son in family of
five sons and five daughters. One of
his older brothers being blach.
smith explains how he came to learn
the trade. While at work by his
brothers forge he mastered the La.
tin and French languages, and made
considerable progress in Greek. He
was for time employed in brass
foundry, where he learned along
with his study Of Latin, Greek and
Hebrew, to cast cow-bells, which he
subsequently went out to sell to the
Connecticut farmers.
We next hear of him engaged in
the dry goods and grocery trade, but,
his books probably interfering with
his business, he failed in 1886. He
had a, this time Cat about the age Of
26) mastered most of the modern
languages of Europe, and was a good
Greek, Latin and Hebrew scholar,
and now he was possessed of burn
ing desire to become acquainted with
some of the Oriental languages, so
he started on foot to Boston, hoping
to be able to secure passage to Eu.
rope on some sailing vessel by work.
ing his way as a sailor; but hearing
while in Boston of an antiquarian
library in Worcester where he would
be likely to find the books he want
ed, he returned to that city, found
employment at one dollar per day in
blacksmith shop, and commenced
his studies. It was while here that
Edward Everett learned his history,
and becoming interested in him, in a
lecture before the Boston Mechanics,
Institute told the public all about
him. So Mr.. Burritt, who had up
to this time been an obscure and
humble blacksmith, was astonished
to find himself one of the most ia.
NOUS men in the country. He was
thereafter a pnblic man. In 1914
MIR. Burritt established the Christian
Citizen. He visited Europe several
times. While there he wrote the
''Pledge of the League of Universal
Brotherhood" with view of uniting
the civilized nations of the world in
the bonds of peace, but the breaking
out of the Crimean War convinced
him that he had not wholly human
lied the hearts of mankind. He
came home and bent all the energies
of his noble heart and mind in efforts
to heal the bitter strife growing up
between the North and South, but
was mortified to see all his efforts
fail. After the breaking out of the
war, M. Burritt returned to Eng.
land, where he lived in retirement
and was very little heard of, devot-
ing all his time to liberty labor.
Elihu Burritt was not always
practical in his ideas; perhaps some
times visionary; but he possessed a
grand nature, and was good and
great man.

HIGHER EDUCATION,

Is JUST GETTING INTO WORKING OR.

CEPTED BY THE SCHOOLS.

Charles S: Byrant, State Secretary
OF the High School Board, visits
Lltchheld next Tuesday to conduct
an examination of the high school
at that place, an application having
been made for State aid under the
''act for the encouragement of high.
er education" AS has before been
stated, this act, which was approved
March Sth, 1878, creates a board of
commissioners on preparatory
schools for the encouragement Of
a higher education in the State, said
board to be composed of the Super.
intendent of Public Instruction. the
president Of The University of Min.
nesota, ex officio, and one other per-
son to be appointed by the Governor.
1t provides that any public graded
schools in any city, incorporated vii.

township system of schools. adj
hitting students of both sexes from
any part of the State without charg
ing tuition. shall upon application
to the board be entitled to ret Give as
aid from the State the sum of $500
each year, up to the full amount Of
the State appropriation, $4,000, in.
GLIDING expenses. provided that upon
formal application for such aid. the
school shall submit to an examina.
ton by the board, and shall pass as
good an examination in all the
branches prescribed by law as is re.
quisite to receiving a third grade
certificate, except in algebra, plain
geometry and the theory and practice
Of teaching.
The act was amended in some par.
ticulars by the present legislature.
The former law appropriated $4,000
instead Of $4,000, a first grade Ger.
tlhcate was required instead Of q
third grade, and the word city has
been inserted.
The object is to unity the State
school system, from the primary de-
partment to the University course
and hinges upon the express condi.
ton that outsiders shall be received
IN the schools, and no tuition
charged. It fits children outside Of
the University for u niversity course
and does away with the preparatory
course OF that State institution. And
the regents acting in concert have
cut of the preparatory courses ali
but the sub.freshmen. Another ob.
lect IS to prepare teachers for the
common schools of the State. While
there IS no hostility to the State nor 1
