pointed to continuous rain storm, with
every prospect of it's lasting through the

| p. G. Roberts lecture: 'sIs the deluge OF
Naah myth" This gentleman is the
Rector of the Episcopal church of the Holy
Communion of st. Louis, and is unquestion-
| ably one of the very best of the lecturers
! who have beel presented at the assembly.
He has an established reputation IN st. Louis
and through the South, and is besides most
| worthy and intelligent gentleman. His ar
gument was highly interesting, learned and
logical and accepting fully the Biblical &C
count of the deluge, he certainly de- 1t the
scientists many severe blows against their
theories of evolution and the indeterminate
periods so necessary to their acceptance.
NO CASH AT HAND.
Prof. Fellows concluded his engagement
yesterday afternoon, and, of course, met the
fate of all who had gone before him in the
matter of getting his pay. The professor
had done extra work-had delivered one or
more lectures than the number he had been
engaged for--but had done so ct the request
and solicitation of the management. When
he and Deacon Gilmore, that expelled
embodiment of Iowa virtue and fair dealing,
came to settle, the latter, of course, true to
his natural instincts, undertook to beat down
the price. This the professor resisted, and
quite a stormy and protracted dispute
followed, which, however, resulted in the
deacon's coming out with flying colors-the
professor being forced to drop his figures
materially. In fact, knowing the uncertainty
of getting anything if he persisted in his
original demands and the general shakiness
of the concern, he recognized the fact that
he was wholly in the power of the willy soul
saver at quarter head, and very sensibly
accepted just what he could get. And on
this basis settlement was reached, if reached
at all-of which fact there is considerable
doubt, despite the earnest assurances of
several of the saints who profess to know the
fact that the professor received his pay
without meeting any trouble whatever.
TOO GOOD FOR COMMON FOLKS.
Burns has sung: 1.-THE rank is but the
guinea's stamp, a mans man for a. that
doctrine which, it would seem, is worthy of
acceptance everywhere and more especially in
community of righteous people-people who
profess IT, obey and live according to- the pre-
cepts Of the Savior of mankind. But in the
congregation of saints at M;nnetonka the
rank is the Cuineas stamp, and without the
guinea man stands but little show of recog-
milton and of being appreciated at his true or
any other standard of WORTH In other words
rank and caste run riot here just as they do
in any congregation of the unrightious. The
same rivalries, the same contentious for place
and precedence, the same jealousies and the
same attempts at exclusiveness which charac-
terize male and female humanity in secular
life, flourish here uncbe ked and
unrestrained. Among the good sisters if re-
ports belle them not, petty rivalries and jeal-
ousies spring up and flourish like the green
bay tree. All the petty vanities of dress and
all the foibles Of the female heart are visible

and cut each other with the same sangfr0id and
the same inward satisfaction as is current in
the outside world. The elect require special
table separate and exclusive from the vulgus-
the outside herd-to which none but the select
of the anointed can gain admittance.
The struggle for social precedence
untiring as that which is going on among the
brethren for posiston and place in the offices of
the ASSOCIATION, and is of course accompanied
with all those peculiar characteristics which
form part and parcel Of such contentious
among the worldly minded and the unpro-
Tossing. ''In my Fathers house there are many
mansions" said the Great Teacher, but no
where has he inculcated the doctrine of rank or
gradations OF rank In ''that house of many
mansions" But notwithstanding His teach
ings, in that single house at Minnetonka there
are many ranks-many castles, and the struggle
is mainly as to who shall take the first
place-tho foremost position in the tabernacle.
In this struggle, as may be readily imagined,
bad blood is engendered, and much back-biting
and gossiping animadversion, or, not to put
too fine point on it, much tattling and dis
paragement are the necessary consequence.
Such is the condition OF things evolved at Lake
Park by the comminglfhg and association OF
the saints of the tabernacle, if, indeed, report
does not greatly belle them. The indications
of the existence of such a condition of affairs
crop out every day, and in manifold variety
of manner and form known only to female
ingenuity. The picture is not pleasant one
nor one on which the GLOBE cares to dwell, but
unless rumor is much more unreliable than in
ordinary human transactions, it is true in all
essential particulars.
The GLOBE has done it's best to keep the
good Christians of Minnetonka straight and to
lead them in the narrow and difficult path that
leads to righteousness and truth, not gospel
peddling salvation. 1t has labored earnestly
in the cause and is glad to know that its labors
have not been wholly in vain. 1t has fought
cents head and is now able to point with
pride to the result of its teachings as exempli-
fed in the lately conceived resolve of that
pious trinity, Gilmore, Keith and johnson, not
to change admission fees to the tenn
perance convention, which meets on
INST. When it is considered that the same
crowd run both the Sunday School assembly
and the Temperance convention, and that both
ire semi-religious in their natures, the power
and influence of the GLOBE in battling for free
admission, without money anu without price,
can be rightly estimated. The action of the
association, if its present intent be carried out,
is condemnation per Sc of it's admission pol
icy, and full and emphatic endorsement
of the course of the GLOBE. The manage
ment is congratulated on its wholesome con-
version to the eternal principles of right and
justice.
Captain John F. Merry, who was assistant
musical director and was largely instrumental
in getting up the big excursion of over 700 per-
sons, which arrived on the opening day, has
and yesterday morning folded his tent and
stole away. The captain is good fellow,
hence his failure to pull in the traces with the
kicked-out ex president Of the Clear Lake as
ISOLATION is not to be wondered at.
Squelcher Richards who wanted to squelch
the GLOBE but was effectually squelched him
self, yesterday packed his traps and abandoned
the holy tabernacle of the saints for the wicked
precincts of his beloved Chicago.
The ''leedle Scherman' band from Manches-
ter has also departed, and Deacon Gilmore is
left Borrowing and comfortless. He will have
to rely hereafter for inspiration upon that
famous song book, for sale at the book stand,
cheap for cash and cash only.
Juven lie Pinafore.

neapolis, and assisted by Prof. Hunneman' q
