the estate and had no source of supplies, and
she also overlooks the question of how far
her own extravaganza, her conspicuous ia
miliarity with other gentlemen and many
other indiscretions, contributed to driving
him to dissipation. Husbands have been
driven to drinking and often to suicide by
the indiscreet conduct or extravaganza of
their wives, and it is not impossible that this
was the impelling cause of Sprague's excuses,
combined with disappointment at his finan-
cial reverses.
We have no doubt whatever that both Gov.
Sprague and his wife were moro or less to
blame. It is seldom that all faults are on
one side. She, by her extravagances and in
.trigues, helped to drive him to sottishness;
while he, by his weakness in adopting such a
course, and by his irracibility while unde,
the influence of liquor is worthy of condem
nation. Both are deserving of sympathy
over the ruin of home that ought to have
been a perpetual pleasure, and over the dis
grace brought upon themselves and their
children.
The only person to the scandal that will
receive no sympathy is the supercilious, ar
rogant and guilty cause of the difficulty, the
senior Senator from New York. His vanity
led him to attempt to captivate the heart Of
another mans wife, and he for many years g
personal intimate. He succeeded only toe
we'll, for notwithstanding Mrs. Sprague's
strength of character she developed one
weak SPOT and that in her heart. 1t is only
to be regretted that Mr.. Sprague allowed
Prof. Conkling to depart without the severe
castigation which his effrontery and vicious
course merited.

miracles shall ever be confined to certain age?
The Lord said, Whatsoever ye shall ask in NV

thus passage by modern 'unbelievers were
added to it the promise would read, 'Whatso-
ever ye shall ask in My name, I will do it-for
two centuries; after which only spiritual bless
ings will be granted, and the various promises
10 the contrary throughout Ny word will be
annulled.'"
Inc sentiments enunciated by Prof. Johns
IN the sermon alluded to, breathing the
spirit OF lively faith in God as an almighty
ana loving father, ever ready to grant the
prayers of his faithful children, are so utter
~ at variance with the senseless saying that
the ago of miracles is past,'' and so rare in
modern pulpit utterances that reference
to 1t seems appropriate, and the quotation
noteworthy in this connection. Before any
perceptible improvement can be looked for
IN the religious condition of tho people
great change must take place in the habits,
the lives and the teachings of the clergy.
They cannot expect to win souls by pointing
out to the people "the steep and thorny road
to heaven while they themselves are tread
ing the Howery paths of ease and comfort.
NOT until the clergy abandon these paths,
live more by faith and less by sight, clothe
themselves with humility, discipline them
selves of self denial, take up their cross,
and walking in the straight and narrow
way, call to the people as did their Master,
"Come, follow me,'' can it be expected that
they will be able to "allure to brighter
worlds, and lead the way.' BETA.

A Harvester Robbed.

Early yesterday morning young man, a
hardy harvester in appearance, reported at
police headquarters that he had been robbed.
He gave his name as Louis f. Kinsler, and
that he was at work at Woodruff's, q mile
and half beyond Como. Among other
harvest hands employed by Woodruff was
one Theodore Smell. Friday about noon Smell,
who was cook, suddenly departed, leaving
the rest of the hands dinnerless. Kinsler
soon after SHELLS departure had occasion to
overhaul his baggage, and found that he was
out $65. Snell's sudden going off and the
disappearance of the money were put down
as cause and effect. After Kinsler had got
through his story and described Smell, the
latter was ascertained to be an old acquain-
lance of the police here. Kinsler
was given over the Sergeant Welsh, and the
two took look. around town after Smell,
Very shortly he was discovered driving up
to George Morton's saloon, on Fourth street,
and was arrested as he stepped out of the
buggy. Smell had just come from Mime
apolis in one Of Eddy's buggies, and
was arrayed in new clothes from
the part of his hair to The
bottom of his feet. When he went away
from Woodruf's, SO sudden, he wasn't
known to possess cent. Kinsler is certain
Smells the man, and Smell says he lies.
Along about 5 o'clock Smell was arraigned
in the municipal court, and his case was
continued until tomorrow at 10 O'Clock A.
N. In default of $500 bail he was COM
mitted to jail.

OF our sister city to her solemn
pledges? Is he guilty of SANDER?
Heaven forbid. Then how comes it that
the amount is not forthcoming, and
that in order to discharge the accumulated
Indebtedness of the concern, the deacon and
his colleagues have determined to square up
their Indebtedness by mortgaging the entire
property in the sum above named. This is
given on the authority of the deacon himself,
and is certainly trustworthy. In addition to
all the other troubles which have been
detailed from time to time, other complica-
tlons are besetting the management. Among
the most clamorous of the creditors of the
concern is Isaac Graves, of
hudson, Wisconsin, the contrac-
tor for building the hotel, whose patience
has become exhausted, and who is determined
to enforce q settlement without further
reference to the specious promises of
Gilmore, Keith & Co. He has accordingly
consulted a well known firm of st. Paul at
torneys, and has instructed them to
commence suit forthwith. Verify, there is
no rest for the wicked!
GETTING AN EXTRA Days BOARD.
The GLOBE last Monday charged that the
true reason of the steamboats, not being
allowed to land on Sunday, was that the
keen and crafty old Deacon Gilmore had set
up this dodge to get a full days board out of
those who had remained over. thereby
making fat thing out of his divyy with
the hotel keeper. Yesterday afternoon he
telegraphed to Superintendent Hill not to
send out night train, as it was not needed.
In this way the good deacon will keep over
Sunday the few he has with him now. Who
will say he is not up to snuff?
THE soUE1oHER sQuE1oHED.
Squelcher Richards, alias Prof. Richards.
Phi. D., author of Minnetonka rhymes, etc.,
whose garrulous tongue prated wildly on
Friday about squelching the GLOBE, didn't
feel quite SO frlsky after reading the GLOBE
comments. For the first time he purchased
paper, having doubtlessly borrowed the
necessary nickel, and on reading it, found
himself squelched and not the GLOBE. He
will no doubt in the future be little more
careful how he so freely expresses his opin-
ions or mixes in matters that do not concern
him.
The GLOBE yesterday struck upon one of
the characteristic lodges of Deacon Keith,
postmaster, marshal, constable and first as
slstant of the Lake Park management the
intent and purpose of which was to swindle
the Wayzatta postmaster out of his legitimate
business. Postmasters of minor Offices, it
will be remembered, are paid mainly by the
cancellation of stamps, of which they receive
60 per cent When the Lake Park gospel
selling fraud opened, Bro. Keith had a man
deputized to travel around the lake in the
boats and collect the mail, and by means of
divvy with Sampson, the Excelsior post
master, this agent got stamp of that office
which he used in cancelling the stamps on
| the letters. All this mail had heretofore gone
to Wayzata. Did Gilmore get his share of
| the divvy?
"Dot leedle Scherman band'' having had
enough of Gilmore and his saints, leave to-
morrow night, several members having pre-
coded the main body. What will the truly
plous deacon do then for comfort and con-
solation?"
