Thursday morning the sacrament Of
Holy Orders was conferred upon FIVE
leyites at the Seminary Of st. Z homas,
| Merriam Park. The solemn ceremony,
being the first ordination witnessed at
the new Seminary, drew thither large
number Of the reverend clergy Of the
| diocese and Immediate relatives and
friends of the young aspirants for the
holy priesthood. Old Sol had scarcely
risen ere the residents of Merriam
Park began wondering why the road
leading to the Seminary presented SO
animated an appearance. The little
chapel could not hold all who desired
to witness the occasion, and the worthy
rector, Rev. Father p. German, ex-
pressed regrets at the disappointment
so caused.
Could the founder Of that institution
the first Bishop Of st. Paul, Right
Rev. Joseph Cretinhaye witnessed
that joyous gathering, his heart would
have been filed with rapture at the
suspicious commencement Of the work
of his chosen sons Right Rev. John

IL. CASE AND FISH BROS.

An important decision was rendered
last week by the Supreme court at
Madison in the litigated suit Of j. |.
Case and Fish Bros, which has been a
long time IN Court. Case had a claim
of $4,000 against Fish Bros, on
which he commenced suit in the Cir
cult Court. That Court put the prop
erty of Fish Bros. into the hands of
Case, and appointed him receiver,
authorizing him to carry on the bust.
ness until enough was collected to sat
isfy his claim, and then to pay the
creditors out of the remainder of the
property, so far as it might be avail
able. The creditors formed combin-
alton, and carried the case to the
Supreme court, which decided that the
claims of the creditors should be first
paid, and Case come in second. This
is happy reversal of judgment fol
the creditors, large number of whom
are mechanics and labOrers, and have
been waiting the course of justice
many months.

COL. DENIS HINES.

Col. Denis Hines, formerly resi-
dent of Kenosha, and Mayor of this
city in 1866, was in town on Monday
last, and made calls on old acquaint-
ances. We take the liberty to make
brief reference to the early history of
Col. Hines for the benefit of boys and
young men, to show them that success
in life to positions of honor and pre-
ferment are obtainable under apparent
ly the most adverse circumstances. If
this sketch shall fall under the notice
of Col. Hines, he will pardon us for
saying he was once poor boy in this
city. His widowed mother had fam.
lily of five children, and it is no dispar-
agement to her or her family to say
she was really poor. Her children,
while too young to work for wages
were put into the public free school
Her son Denis, the subject Of this
notice, remained in school until he
graduated with honor in the High
school, But for the free school he
must in all probability have grown ul
to manhood without education. We
will not follow his subsequent history
after leaving school us to his various
avocatlons, our only purpose being tt
prove the possibility of boys to rise tt
honor and distinction from poverty
with proper energy and the advantages
of our free schools. Let no boy, how.
ever poor his parents and friends may
be, be djsheartened for that cause
His possibilities for the future, will
| good health, has no inSurmOuntabl'
obstacles for rising to prominence. Il
may be added that on the breaking
out of the rebellion Denis Hines vol
unteered in the service of his country
was raised to the office Of colonel, anC
made a good record. On his return
from the army after the close of tn,
war, the people of Kenosha, appreciat
ing his bravery and worth, elected him
to the office of Mayor, he being Thu
youngest Mayor ever chosen in thi
city. Col. Hines is now engaged in tn
business department of the Chica g
Tribune.

GLADSTONE, ENGLAND'S LATE
PREMIER.

Mr.. Gladstone has probably been
one of the most successful reformers
England has ever produced. Among
the greatest measures which he cham
pioned in behalf of popular rights, and
carried through in the face of difficult
ties which would have daunted any
statesman of ordinary courage, was
the franchise bill. This will add near
ly two million of voters at the election
in November next, so that England
has now practically adopted universal
suffrage and falls into line with the
United States. The nearly two mil
lions who will be accorded the right to
vote are not the illilerate masses, but
far different people from those who
were invested with the elective fran.
chise by the act of emancipation in this
country. This new created constituent
cy advances the English people to full

statesman is far-sighted enough te

elective body, the House of Commons
1t will make prominent and potentia
the great concerns of public life, which
have hitherto been unheard. It will
introduce into the government o.
England opinions which have long
slumbered, but which will now awak,
and exercise a controlling influence il
English affairs. The passage OF thi
one great measure alone will immortal
ize the administration of Gladstone, a

SPRING WHEAT. IN DAK0TA

Reports from several hundred points
in Dakota have just been gathered.
From summary it appears that the
acreage in Dakota is very little less than
last year. The shortage does not exceed
5 per cent, and may not reach that fig
ure. The decrease is widely distributed.
In the northern portion of the territory
farmers were discouraged by the low
prices prevailing last fall, and many al
lowed their land to lie idle in order to
rid it of foul seeds. In the southern
portion, particularly in the older COM
munities, farmers turned their attention
more to stock raising and to fax and
coarse grain. The war scare during seed
ing time induced great many to in
crease the acreage, but the season was
too far advanced and other conditions
were unfavorable to such an increase in
acreage as would otherwise have been
made. The condition of the crop at
this time is favorable. reports to the
contrary being confined to small areas
in certain localities. In the northern
part of the territory wheat was sown
from one to three weeks earlier, and the
weather has been favorable ever since,
with the exception of the frost of the 9TH
and little too much rain in the James
river valley. A few local hail storms
have done no damage. The crops along
the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads
and the branches are in excellent condi-
ton. Frequent rains in the southern
portion of the territory have helped the
crops very much during the past week,
and the condition of the crop, as q
whole, is very favorable.

FOR THE BOYS.

The way in which a boy uses his leis-
ure often determines what sort of a man
he will be. The Vide Awake gives the
following incident in proof of the state
ment:
Two men stood at the same table in a
large factory in Philadelphia, working
at the same trade. Having an hour for
incoming every day, each undertook to
use it in accomplishing definite pur-
pose; each persevered for about the
same number of months, and each was
successful at last. One of these two me-
chanics used his daily leisure hour in
working out the invention of a machine
for cutting block into almost any desir-
ed shape. When his invention was
complete he sold the patent for for
tune, changed his workman's apron for
a broadcloth suit and moved out of a
tenement house into brown-stone man
sion. The other man-what did he do
Well, he spent an hour each day during
the most of year in the very difficult
undertaking of teaching little dog to
stand on his hind feet and dance Jig,
while he played the tune. At last &C
counts he was working ten hours day
at the same trade and at his old wages,
and finding fault with the fate that made
his fellow-workman rich while leaving
him poor. Leisure minutes may bring
golden grain to mind as we'll as purse,
If one harvests wheat instead of chaff.-

SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS.

licly announced last week that base
ball game would he played here on
Sunday, between the Milwaukee

will you please state what Sunday law.
if any, is applicable to the case? X.
In reply to the foregoing, We have
uniformly maintained that respect for
law and its enforcement is essential
to good order and the stability of the
government. The general laws on our
statute books emanated from the people
and must be presumed to reflect their
will. If any of them are promotive OF
wrong or injustice, the people have
the power to repeal them in legIti-
mate way. But until they are repeal
ed, OF declared unconstitutional by the
court of highest authority, they ought
to be obeyed. The law in relation to
the Sabbath is found in the Revised
Statutes, Chapter 1856, Section 1896,
which reads as follows:
"Any person who shall keep open
his shop. warehouse or workshop, or
shall do any manner of labor, business
