Recep,ion a. Hamline (M. E., Church.

The members and friends of Hamline
On. E.) Church assembled in large num-
bers last night to greet the pastor, the Rev.
s. NJ. Hartsock, and his estimable wife,
conference at its last session having re-
turned him to this church for another year.
The occasion was an enjoyable pne and
long to be remembered. The meeting was
presided over by Mr.. Thomas E. Roach.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Buck. The
address of welcome was delivered by Mr..
Boraem, in behalf of the members. He
briefly reviewed the past labors of the pas
tor, which had been eminently successful in
augmenting the membership of the church
by new converts, and warmly commended
him for his energy and zeal in everything
pertaining to his position and heartily well
coined him and his wife-who is an esti-
mable lady and has warm place i'll the
heart of every member. The address was
responded to by Mr.. Hartsock, who related
few incidents of his early ministerial life.
He was graduated at Dickinson Seminary
and received his first charge-Penni's VAL
ley, Pa.-twenty-f years ago. His labors
in the ministry have already added $500
to the roll of membership of the NJ. L.
Church.
Mrs. Hartsock was called upon to say a
few words, which she did, thanking the
people for their sympathy and commenda-
ton, and in happy vein related her ex-
perience as minister's wife. at the con-
clusion of her remarks Mrs. La Fetra in q
neat address presented her, on behalf of the
ladies, beautiful basket of flowers. The
choir, under the leadership of Mr.. Edward
Thomas, discoursed excellent music, rem

DO Not Want n Baseball Ground.

A large number of property holders and
residents in the vicinity of square No. 1862,
corner Ninth and S streets, met at the
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church last
evening, to discuss the proposition to turn
that square into regular baseball field
Mr.. William F. Sliney presided,
and Mr.. w. NJ. Evans acted as
secretary. Mr. Sliney stated that the object
of the meeting was to petition the
District Commissioners to refuse permit
for the use of the square as baseball field,
ON account of the annoyance to the rapidly
improving neighborhood and the effect
such gatherings had in collecting all the
idle and disorderly element from the entire
city for several hours in usually quiet
locality. He was followed by Messrs. W..
NJ. Evans, Elphonzo Youngs, DR.. W. F.
Corey, Professor r. 7. Greener, Mr.. Hop
kins, Mr.. Falconer, DR.. d. b. Croft, the
builder, and others, all of whom expressed
themselves strongly against the proposed
use of said square for such purposes. On
motion of Mr.. Falconer, a petition to the
Commissioners was adopted, and commit
tee, consisting of William +. Sliney, W. NJ.
Evans, Professor r. II. Greener, Elphonzo
Youngs and DIR. W. F. Corey, were APP
pointed to present it.

The High school Concert.

The concert given last evening by the
pupils of the Washington High School at
High School Hall, corner of Seventh and o
streets, was perfect success in every way.
The large hall was filled with an exceed
ingly appreciative audience. The calls
thenic drills with stalls and rings by the
young ladies were given in admirable style.
The songs of the glee club were repeatedly
encored, and the solo singing of Mr.. Jay
Marsh in the glee songs is worthy of par
ticular mention.
The German play was rendered finely, as
was also the violin solo of Mr.. Curtis. The
dumb-bell exercise was given in a perfect
manner. The vocal solo of Miss Grigg, and
the recitation of Miss Alexandra Galeski
were highly commended, The variety of
the programme displayed both the literary
and musical talent that can be found among
the pupils of our public schools. Owing to
the large number that were unable to gain
admission last evening the entertainment
will be repeated tonight.

A priest known as Brother Frank, at
Buffalo, N. Y was convicted on Satur-
day of committing an assault on little
girl seven years old. He took her to
his room to give her candy, and it is
alleged there committed the outrage.
In passing sentence the court review
ed the case and stated that other Of
fenses of the kind had also been com,
mitted by the defendant, who was not
an ignorant man, but one enjoying all
the advantages of education and access
to refined society. He could not but
feel compassion for the fallen man but,
nevertheless, upon the finding of the
jury he had a judicial duty to perform.
He, therefore, imposed sentence of
five years in the state prison at Auburn.
the maximum allowed by the statutes.
The prisoner was composed through,
out. The convicted man has been presi
dent of st. Joseph College, strong
Catholic institution, for number of
years, and was formerly teacher in
eastern cities and has borne a good
reputation in all but the question OF
temper. Those charitably disposed
urge that he must be insane. He has
a sister in the asylum for the insane. AT
the time of his arrest he was suspended
from his position in the college.

Ten Years Ago and Now.

Ten years ago Stephen w. Dorsey,
William Pitt Kellogg and George +.
Spencer were prominent and powerful
Republicans. Two of them sat in the
United States Senate rs representatives
of Commonwealth which despised and
detested them. One of them was Gov
ernor of Louisiana and not even pop
ular revolution could overthrow him.
These men seemed then to be at the
height of prosperity.
But they were simply adventurers.
They went into politics just as a pro.
fessional gambler sits down at the card
table. There was nothing so infamous
which they were not prepared to stoop
to in order to accomplish their purposes.
With no strong intellectual quality ex-
cept that of quick shrewdness, with not
particle of moral pride, destitute of
all sense of patriotism they reached the
highest stations in public life by bribery
and brute force, and there were no
doubt many people who envied their
rapid ''success."
But their prosperity was simply a de.
bauch that had to come to an end. The
country could not long stand the sigh,
of such creatures as these revelling in
the places reserved for its most faithful
and most gifted. The moment they
were hurled out of the Senate they los,
their friends and the rascality which
they so long practiced is now familiar
to every one.
Dorsey stands desperate and vel
nigh broken down within the shadow
of the penitentiary; Kellogg is about tc
go through the same experience, ant
Spencer is virtually a fugitive from jus
tice, not daring to remain in his owl
country These three men were ssso
ciated together in the Star route job
berry, and they are universally LOOKED
upon as public thieves, whose presenc
is to be stunned and dreaded.

The appointment of new Treasurer
has rendered necessary the counting of
the money in the United States Treas
ury There is one billion of dollars,
and counted dollar by dollar at the rate
of 5000 minute, day and night, it
would take ten years to count it. AS
it is not all one dollar bills, and many
hands are engaged in counting, the
work will take but a few weeks.
The method of working will be sim
pie. The paper money lies in neatly
wrapped piles in the vaults, with the
amount of each pile stated. The ban d
is removed and the money given TO a
counter, who, with deft fingers, finds
the sum and reports the result. A
strict watch is kept to prevent
bills slipping up sleeves or under
aprons. If the report of the counter
agrees with the record the band is put
back aud an entry made, and it would
greatly astonish the committee, no
doubt, if difference were to be found
and proven on a second and more care
ful count. Probably not one such Incl
dent will disturb the monotony of the
examination, as the system of checks
in use renders false count in pack
age delivered to the Treasury almost
an impossibility, and no one hints that
the vaults have been tampered with.

After much delay and litigation the
Passion play of Salmi Morse has at
last been performed on the stage at
New York. The characters represen-
ted are Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the
High Priest, Joseph, Herod, Salome,
Herodias, the Disciples, Pontius Pilate,
and others of that time. The scenes
represented were the Presentation in
the Temple, the Massacre of the limo
cents, Death of John the Baptist, Jesus
at the Brook of Hebron, and the Cru
cifizion. The play has been prevented
by the police for long time because OF
alleged sacrilegious tendencies, but
from the reports there was nothing Of
the kind beyond the representation OF
sacred characters on the stage.
