towards exempting them from tho cormorant

Ihere Is little doubt that money making,
ana not educational" teaching, is the moving
spring OF the "riginators of the Lake Park en-
terprise. IL crops out in every thing in and
ABOUT the place. Every thing bears secular,
bus ness-like look, and no where, not ey Ell in
the busy marts of trade, does this worldly as.
pect Of affairs stand o4t in holder relief. Even
ne very trees are posted over with placards
announcing business of all kinds aud in every
respect the scene presented bears the impress
OF hard, cold, stern, relentless conflict for
money, rather than that Of quiet, peaceful

TWENTY-FIVE CENTS TO ESCAPE SALVATION. &
The difficulty not only of gaining admission
TO tho grounds. but leaving the same, which
can only be done by means of the same ticket
whereby entrance was gained, has already been
anverted to. The working of this curious plan

gentleman passed through the gate on his way
to the boat, and was asked to show his ticket.
Ills reply was that he had none, when the gate
Keeper demanded: How then did you get in ~
HIS answer that The walked in created big
laugh among the bystanders, and the man
s on; l., The gate-keeper reported the
fact to Elder Johnson, and that worthy
started after the recalcitrant sinner, but seeing
that the GLOBE representative was at hand,
prepared to fully report the scene which would
ensue, desisted and let the stranger depart in
peace. The fact, simply, was that the man
oelng unused to the new patent Minnetonka
plan OF securing salvation, and deeming his
ticket OF no further use after he had gained ad
mission, had thrown it, like worthless weed,
away. This was all there was t. it.
CAN'T GET THEIR PAY.
AS the lecturers conclude their engagements,
the Liabilities of the concern pile up and the
means of settlement are not Forthcoming. and
the scenes consequent on the Townsend squar-
ing up are liable to re-occur at any time In
TINS connection good story is told on the no.
tel proprietor, j. w. Hutchinson, (of whom the
money was borrowed to pay Townsend) to the
effect that when lecturer concludes his ell
gagement, Hutch picks himself u and goes of
down the road fur day or Two to escape the
delectable possibility Of having to lend The
necessary sum to pay the party. Whether true
or false, the joke is told and insisted on all the
same.
WHAT THE DEACON EXPECTED.
The GLOBE was yesterday shown letter OF
Deacon Gilmore in which that worthy states
the hotel would be fully completed by June
10 and that the average attendance at the
grounds would for the month of Angus,
amount to l 900 persons daily. TIE deacon, i,
would seem, reckoned without his host, and as
the debts accumulated about him his memory
reverts to the splendid dream of shining shek.

NEW DoDGEs NEEDED.
To-day concludes the ''deaominational DAYS
and 1T remains to be seen what other lodges
the fertile brains Of the keen trickste1s, Gil
more, Keith d CO., will resort to to raise the
wind and run the machine for the next sever
days. That some specious Heather Chinet
iod se will be concocted--some new device de-
vlsed to float the sinking craft may we'll be as
sumed, but be the invention what it NAV il
will scarcely accomplish the desired end Verify
