breath of a simeon. The man who makes
haste to be rich becomes, in spite of his
better nature, harsh, mean and false.
There is no idolatry more debasing than
the worship of Mammon.
Self-righteousness is popular idol.
Instead Of bowling down before the inf
mite God, men worship their own moral
ity. They measure themselves by pro-
Tossing Christians, and because they seem
to lead no better lives these idolaters rest
satisfied. 1t is a worship that begins and
ends in self. Bob Ingersoll and other
leaders IN this worship call their idol ma
ture, and ask mankind to witness what
loving husbands and fathers, what
kind neighbors and loyal citizens these
idolators make. "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me-" was proclaimed
from Mount Sinai, and the Creator will
not give his worship to the thing he has
created. Phariseeism is another form of
idolatry. "Stand aside, am holier than
thou" IS the idolater's incarnation to his
idol. True worship IS always humble.
How could the worshiper Of Jehovah,
the Mighty God, be otherwise,
when he remembers his. own sins
and frailties. When friend
praised Salvini for his wonderful acting,
he replied, "not to me but to my great
Master belongs the praise So the
Christian cries, not to me, but to Thy
great name be the glory. That mankind
grow into the likeness of the god they
worship is a well established fact.
The followers of cruel Baal cut them
selves with knives, sacrificed their chill
dren, and drank the blood of their
enemies. The worshipers of the false
gods of Olympus were selfish, cruel and
treacherous. So the votaries of the modern
gods, fashion, pleasure and money, sacrl-
flee friends, comfort, good name and all the
graces Of the heart and mind, to win
their tickle smiles. The INSCRIPTIONS
base man and the equally INSCRIPTIONS
false hearted woman are the fit devotees
of such gods.
The true, earnest worshipers of in
finite purity, truth and mercy, Of bound
less knowledge and wisdom, must assimi-
late in character to the object of their
alteration. That all protesting Christians
are not like Christ, is not the fault of
Christianity, but because they strive to
serve two masters. Christ declared that
"No man can serve two masters"
No person can have God in his heart and
mind, the object of his alteration and de-
sire, without growing daily like him, and,
at the same time, humble, as he realizes
the vast difference between him and his
God

The Prairie Farmer has taken up the
silly and exhausted subject of the for
fixture of the Northern Pacific land
grant. For the benefit of this journal we
will say that this subject has been ably
and tersely handled by the New York
World and other retained organs of the
Jay Gould combination. If the Prairie
Farmer insists, however, on e-thrashing
this old straw let it by all means give the
public some new ideas on the subject.
A rehash of the Worlds able statement
of Mr.. Gould's side of the case will prove
of interest only to those who are reading
up on ancient history, and who are not
abreast with the current news of the day.

4LITELY RUNAWAY.
a Team Attached to q Beer Wagon Devas-
tates Third Street.


tates Third Street.
One of those periodical episodes in the
shape of a runaway took place yesterday
afternoon, shortly after 5 O'Clock, which in
some of its features might be called terrific.
A team belonging to Theodore Hamm, at
tached to one OF his heavy beer wagons, took
fright on Bridge square and tore down Third
street with the velocity of railroad train,
and, like a train of cars, it claimed, or rather
usurped, the right Of way. The street was
filled with vehicles of all kinds, and
among the number were many driven by
ladies. At the outset the spectators
turned their heads away in horror, anticipat-
ing the worst, as the frantic team dashed on
in their mad career. Near the corner of Third
and Cedar streets they collided with milk
wagon, which proved only an egg shell in the
way of an obstruction. Milk cans and milk
mingled together in the street with the wreck
of the wagon. A little further on the one
horse wagon OF Mr.. a. d. Ilmme was en-
countered and all there was left Of the rig was
the horse and harness. Just this side of
Robert street the maddened team ran into a
low ph@ton in which was seated Mrs. DR..
Harvey and sister, of Fort Smelling. The horse
was knocked down and the light carriage was
overturned with the two ladies under the
wreck. at first it was supposed that the
ladies had received serious injuries. They
were carried into Egan' s jewelry store and DR..
Murphy summoned in haste, when it was
found that beyond the shock and a few bruises
they had escaped serious injury almost by
miracle. The next obstacle in the way of the
runaways was one of the massive wagons be-
longing to the Peoples Ice company. This
proved to be stopper, as the shock brought
the team to a temporary halt, and they were
secured near the corner of Broadway. 1t was
a terrific runaway, and considering all things
it was nearly marvellous that no more damage
WAS done

THE decision of the trustees of the
University of Georgia in requesting the
resignation of Prof. E. W. Speer, the
father of Emory Speer, the Independent
candidate for Congress in the Ninth dis
trict of that State, has created quite a
stir in political circles, owing to the
statement of the Professors friends that
the action of the trustees was taken with
the view of injuring the pros
poets of Congressman Speer's re- election.
The trustees will no doubt make state
ment of their side of the case, and the
public can then form its own conclusions.
AS the matter stands at present. however,
the action of the trustees has the appear
ance of having been inspired by political
motives rather than by desire to ad-
vance the interests of the institution with
which Prof. Speer has been so long
identified.

FDOLATRY.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me-
Exodus xxi, 3.
Idolatry has been defined the worship
of idols, and the word idols suggests
thoughts of the nations of Africa, the far
off countries of Asia or the Pacific Islands.
People who bow down to images of wood
and stone and have no thought of the
Creator of heaven and earth. The
word has, however, q more ex-
tended application, it includes with
partic ular emphasis all those who have a
knowledge of the law, "For as many
as sin without the law shall perish with
out law" but upon all to whom Gods
words have been revealed this command
menJ is binding: "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me-" Judging from the
actions of men, there are but few persons
who are not in some manner ldolaters.
Images of some hideous monster, ik-
nesses of bird or reptile, some fantasy
wrought in metal, or the
sun itself are not necessary adjuncts for
idolatry. To worship anything by giving
ones best thoughts and labors in its SER
vice, to PROSTATE the spirit in alteration
before it, to make it the ruling influence
of ones life is idolatry. Pleasure is the
idol of multitude of men and women.
1t Is strange in world so transitory, that
no one can tell "what shall be on the
morrow" that there should be space for
such worship, that there should be time
for such idolatry when the destlnies of
eternity may depend upon to-day.
Travellers tell of plant in Central
Africa whose juice possesses the intoxi-
eating properties of brandy, and that the
inhabitants of that region are in the
habit of gathering at stated intervals, on
the common around which their rude
huts are built, and drinking the stimula-
ting liquor in the pauses of the dance,
until the entire population are under its
maddening spell. Must not the inhabit-
ants of earth present a similar spectacle
to the plying gaze of heaven, in their
eager pursuit of pleasure? Life eternal
amidtjoys (which eye has not seen, ear
heard, nor the heart conceived" the love
and fellowship of God and Christ thrown
away in the worship of this idol. Wealth
is the god of many, and his worshipers
increase daily. Everything else a man
possesses he will give for this, friends,
good name, home and the blessedness of
dong good.
The idolaters of the Orient are not more
cruel in their worship of the sacred crock
odile of the Ganges, or the clumsy Jug
gernaut than the worshipers of wealth.
All the kindly and tender impulses of the
heart wither as do leaves by the hot

SUDDEN SHOCK.
The Death of DR.. Francis Atwood Yester-

day.
While all living may be skeptical in regard
to almost every other thing, none ever dispute
the fact that sit is appointed unto man once
to die" Death is always in our midst, but
occasionally it loves shining mark, as If to
remind us that We, too, are mortal. Such is
the case in the death OF DR.. Francis Atwood,
which sad event took place Yesterday, shortly
after IL o'clock a. IN. To many readers of the
GLOBE this announcement will come like q
shock, as comparatively few Of even those
who knew him well were aware of his illness.
Less than month ago he appeared in the full
vigor of early manhood, and bid fair to live q
long and useful life. That dread disease, ty-
phOid malaria, attacked him at time when
his system was debilitated from overwork in
his profession, and altough he made a manly
battle for life, and received the best and most
skillful medical attention, he had to succumb.
DR.. Atwood was born IN Franklin, Mass,
August 20, 1916, and was consequently nearly
SO years of age at the time Of his death. He
graduated from The academic department of
Harvard college in 1859, and from the medical
department of the same institution in 1873.
He served one year in the City hospital of Bos-
ton and then visited Germany, where ne pur-
sued his studies under the celebrated DR.. Won
Graefe for year, when he returned to America
married Miss Emma Calhoun, daughter OF
Samuel Calhoun, ESQ. But one child blessed
their union, and that died IN infancy.
DR.. Atwood made diseases OF the eye and
ear specially, and in his profession he &C.
cupied front rank. In his untimely death,
not only the medical fraternity but, it may be
said, the world at large has lost one who, had
he lived, would have added much to the gain
of human knowledge, aud been instrumental
in alternating the ills of Thousands who walk
in darkness and amid silence which is truly
felt. Besides his bereaved wife, DR.. Atwood
leaves a mother and an uncle in Massachusetts
among the more immediate relatives. Notice
of the funeral will be given hereafter.

HISTORICAL NOTES.
The present movement for constitutional
prohibition originated in the Minneapolis
Temperance Reform club offering the use OF
their hall, and the secretary of the Minnesota
Temperance union making the call.
The first convention met February 14th,
1882, and was characterized by earnestness and
harmony. Agents have been kept in the
field. An effort was made for the observance
of Sunday, May It'll, throughout the State
which was partially successful.
a second convention was called for June
18th and 18th, with large increase in attend
anee and greater enthusiasm. The meeting
was fully Ia sympathy with the plans already
laid down, and legislated to make them more
effective.
The work has begun in earnest and only the
hearty cooperation of its friends is now
needed to make an entire success. The C. a.
A. G. is composed as follows
J: F. Chafee, president, Minneapolis.
Miner Ball, treasurer,
W. W. Satterlee, secretary, "
J. A. Temple,
r. Forbes,
Richard Chute, ="
G. E. Chase, Anoka.
D. W. lngersoll, st. Paul.
Among the many speakers will be Mr.. G.
w. Penniman, of Massachusetts, whose serv.
ices have been secured to work in the inter.
ests of the committee. He is a young man,
a ready speaker and a prominent worker in the
temperance cause.

be gathered in that city, August %, to insug-
urate the work Of thus doing honor to the
great abolition martyr, whose ''soul
is marching on" Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe is to be there
to make an address; and Wendell Phillips, the
old iron clad abolition orator, win be on hand
with his electric eloquence; and even Roscoe
Conkling is expected TO emerge from his po-
litical exile, and TO be present to crate on the
occasion. But why should this last named
person, who has never been conspicuous as a
philanthropist, or known as an anti-slayery
worker in the crusade against slavery in the
times which tried mems souls, be Sc
leeted as q speaker? Is it 10 give him an op-
portunity to escape in a measure from the
odium which attaches 10 him, for having d.
rected his hateful influence in 2 direction,
which gave 10 freedom later martyr? Soil
not the occasion by solecism SO
glazing. Let the old veteran philanthro-
pists who still live, writers and
orators be present, who crusaded for freedom
in freedoms holy cause, demanding immedi-
ate, unconditional, and universal emancipa-
ton be present to do honor to the worthy
undertaking, but let not the occasion be
chilled and damaged by the invited prominent
presence of sordid machine partisan, who in
the bitterness OF his hate, ;naugurated an in
fuence, that sent nations ruler, OF high an
ti-slavsry character and fame, 10 martyrs
bloody grave. In honoring our martyr, let
no despite be done, even by indirection, TO the
memory of another. Give the unworthy
apostle of hate and ruin no op-
portunity TO use so sacred an occa-
sion, to lessen the odium that justly attaches
to unpatriotic conduct, that should consign
the actor to unblessed infamy.

40 tHc CuitOT Oh LIE dlOpe
When the chamber of commerce invited the
recent convention of temperance societies to
visit their rooms, what was there in these
apartments to merit the attention OF strangers?
They are small, school-room like, and any
thing bnt what the chamber of commerce of
such city as st. Paul ought to have. In
Minneapolis that body is putting up fine
building, but as yet St. Paul houses its public
bodies most meanly. Our library, our Young
Mems Christian association, our historical
society, are all where one would prefer
strangers should not see them. Why did not
and why should not the chamber of commerce
erect building creditsble to itself and large
enough TO house other city societies.

three adopted girls, all of tender age, who

is rapidly becoming rich from the pilferings
