The Dangers OF Careless Surgery.

surgeon lately left sponge, and another
a pair Of forceps, in the cavity after an
abdominal operation. Yet anotherwould

surgeons should run the awful risk Of

The Indifference of Men.

Bishop Robertson of Missouri, filled the pul.
pit at St. John the Evangelist church. corner
ofAshland avenue and Msckubin street, yester.
day morning, and in the afternoon went up to
Minneapolis, where he filled the pulpit at
ct. Paul church. His sermon In the morning
was In regard to the indifference of men. he
took his text from Acts xviii, II. "And
Gallo cared for none Of those things" and IL
lustrated 1t 10 variety of ways. The bishop
first expressed his difadence In taking the
place Of the bishop OF the diocese, and yet his
pleasure In being able to help brother ~
well as becoming acquainted with others In
the church of Christ. His sermon was on the
indifference of Gallo, finding In him type of
many in the world who are SO Indifferent
about the most serious things of man and
God.
l. Indifference from narrow mindedness,
inability to see things as others
see them or consider any subject from various
points of view.
Q. Indifference from carelessness or mental
laziness.
8. Indifference on account of the difficulties
which surround the teachings OF the holy Bible.
This the bishop met by showing that every
thing In life and nature Ia surrounded by diff
cultfes.
4. Indifference brought on by religions for.
malism or familiarity with the teachings OF
the Christian religion.
He ended his sermon by exhorting ali to
consider the great importance Of religion and
the need Of greater seriousness on the part OF
all Christians.

Standing Of the Clubs to Dats-sOhedule
for the Coming Week.
Rain did most OF the playing on the "dla-
mond field" during the past week, and most
of the games throughout the country were
postponed in consequence, and therefore no
material is furnished for guessing" at ulu-
mate results One fact may DO mentioned,
and that is that among the very few games
played during the week was one between the
Boston aud Provid ence clubs, in which the
latter club was defeated for the first time this
season. For seven straight games Harry
Wright's Providence team walked away with
all opponents, but the eighth game, the one
In which they met the Bostons, was too much
for them. It was baked beans against science
and Rhode Island muscle, and beans proved
to be the best of the two, and so Providence
scored lose. The general situation Is not
changed materially from what it was the
week bsfore.
Chicago has nine base ball clubs besides the
regular league club that represents that city.

The Cleveland Herald tells rough story on
Arson of the Chicagos. 1t says that he iu-
suited q gentleman on the grounds at Cleve-

what the Herald says is true, Mr.. Arson is
liable to severe censure.

that though young in years, Mr.. Young was
man of remarkable abilities as railroad
man. Mr.. Porter, who knew him best, and
had noted his remarkable capacity as rail.

him, and trusted in his judgment to the fullest
extent In all financial matters.
When Mr.. Young was connected

1t was owing to Mr. Porter's influence that he

Minneapolis road 1t was at Mr.. Porter's sug.
gestion that he was made director in the new

that he was man of remarkable ability as a
railroad man, especially as regards anything
pertaining to financial matters. He was q
man that was particularly remarkable for the
euickness with which he formed his opinions
on all railroad business. He never hesitated
for moment in forming his opinions. He
always gave them quickly and they were gen.
orally found to be correct. He was fully ca.
pable Of holding any position in railroad
matters. Mr.. Young, who was formerly
with the Chicago & Northwestern road, at
Chicago, was fully acquainted with
the system Of auditing on that
road and when he came into the Chicago
st. Paul & Omaha road he introduced the
same system here. The result was that the
two systems being alike rendered It very easy
and expeditions for the two roads to do bust
ness with each other. Mr.. Young,came into
the employ Of the Chicago, st. Paul & Om-
aha road in 1878. BE was about SO or 81

such high and responsible position.

Moses says the Pennsylvania judges and at

taken through this state without q warrant

to-day Gov Foster decided that he could not
legally make requisltlon for such case,
because Pritchard is fugitive in Pennsylvia,

Insurance Business In Minnesota.


Elsewhere the GLOBE gives an abstract Of
Insurance Commissioner McGill's annual re-
port. In commenting upon the report the
New York Unde1fDyitsr says:
The annual report Of the insurance COM
missioner of Minnesots, which we print In
this number, is pretty conclusive commenta-
~ upon the belief, prevalent in q great many
minds, that fire insurance is all guess work.
The average rate OF premium in Minnesota
has been, for the past ten year $50, against o
rate for the whole country of LOS. We pre-
sumo that the property owners OF Minnesota
believe that rate excessive, and that they are
paying too much for insurance. But curl
ously enough, the rate of losses to premiums
received throughout the country has been
fifty-eight per cent, and in Minnesota fifty
nine So the Minnesotians, Notwithstanding
their higher rates, have really paid less In
proportion to their losses in ten years, than
the people of other states, by one per ceut. So,
also, ii is seen that long averages of years
yindIcate the substantial accuracy OF the IN.
derwriter's measure of hazards. A year tells
nothing in any state or in the whole country,
but when we put the years together We get
results that are startling in their uniformity.
The growth OF the business in Minnesots has
been wonderful, and is fully set forth, with
pardonable degree OF pride, by the commls-

An Iowa Steam PIow.
Prairie Farmer.l

1t is announced that Mr.. H. G. Wheel
er, of Cherokee Co., Iowa, has invented
steam pillow, combining the features of
the English system of stationary engine
and the American system Of a traction
engine. The engine is run ahead 500
feet, then by>a cable system of ten
plows is drawn up, the engine is run on
again, and so on to the end. Mr.. Wheeler
says he can pillow thirty acres
day at a cost of twenty-five cents
an acre. The inventor is an
extensive farmer himself, and fully COM
prehends the need of an invention of this
kind. He has not fully demonstrated the
practicability of the new system, but now
he has his engine at work on his farm
near Odebolt and will soon learn If his
expectations are to be realized. If Mr..
Wheeler can plow for twenty FIVE cents
per acre he has settled the problem, for,
after all, the great thing In the way Of
most efforts with steam has been the ex-
pense Of the operation as compared with
horse power.
