1T HAS COVERED BRAINS.
a True Incident That Occurred Re
Gently i'm st. Paul.

Gently i'm st. Paul.
II have lost my hat" remarked Mr.. G. W.
Hill, the editor of the Farmer, to one of his
Office force the other afternoon as he was
about TO leave the Office, ''and have no idea
who has taken it. 1t was a new one, Dun
lap that cost me an even five. l had it when
1 was out an hour ago and now it is gone.
Have you seen anyone take itg''
II have not" said his assistant
"What callers have we had within an hour?"
asked Mr.. Hill.
"Well, there was R. C. Judson, secretary of
the state board of agriculture,' said the as
sistant, "but he always wears little soft
felt hat, and even If he were inclined to take
your new stiff hat it wouldn't fit him, so l
don't think hehas it; and then there was that
fat man whom did not kEow-the man with
the smooth, red face and white, soft hands. l
think he was the only man beside Judson."
''Ah," said Mr.. Hill. "Ah.' and then he
looked out into the other room, and saw lying
on dictionary what had once been hat.
Mr.. Hill went to the hat, took it up, and, after
a brief examination, laid it back with sigh.
He took the hat, and the one he left has his
name in it," said Mr.. Hill, ''but look at what
a trade he gave me-"
The assistant looked, and saw an ordi-
nary stiff hat, size about *, and battered.
1t had attained that stage of its existence
when it might fifty be the theme of one of
Maj. Newson'S poems. 1t had classic air
about it, and looked as if it had
been worn on the back of the head. AS
the eye dwelt on it it seemed to bristle with
long words, and there was scent about
about it such as one notices on entering a
library filled with old books. Although it
was old there was SORT of sweetness in
its decay. Careful examination showed
that the gatherings against the crown
had come from within, as if
the brains that it once COW
cred had been throwing off meteors in con-
siderable quantities. 1t was a hat that
being dead yet spoke. There hovered
about it the spirit of the Elizabethan age,
and there was something about it that sug-
gested passage from one of Bacon's es-
says. Still it was nothing but hat.
Il can't think he intended to take it.
unused Mr. Hill. HE is not that kind of a
man. If he did not intend to, he was prob
ably so absorbed in his thoughts that he did
not notice what a superior article mine was
l think will write about it, for want my
own hat
Whose hat is it?" said Mr.. Hills assistant
Mr., Hill never said a word, but turned
the inside toward the questioner. and there,
in gilt letters that could not be mistaken,
and surely fixed the person who had car
ried away Mr.. Hilrs new hat were the
simple words, 'Ignatius Donnelly, Min

600 inhabitants. Mrs. Ward was Chinese
girl in native dress. 1t was of some coarse
blue material and was said to be the style
worn by the lower classes. The young
Chinese girl had raven black hair was cut
in bang, not much unlike some that are
to be seen in st. Paul. Mrs. Shaw eX-
planned that it was the prevailing custom
in the heathen country where the young
girl was born, for girls of age to wear their
hair in this fashion. Mrs. Ward spoke for
about half an hour, after which the meet
ing closed with more singing.

GOVERNED BY AFFINITIES.
An Eloquent Sermon at the House
of Hope Church.

of Hope Church.
Last night at the House of Hope church
the Rev. DR.. Pierson of Philadelphia
preached a sermon of rare power and elo-
quence from Luke ", s: ''Peter said, Lord
depart from me, for l am sinful man."
This was a remarkable prayer, said the
speaker, and q remarkable confession. Peter
did not desire that the Lord should leave him,
but the prayer was forced from him by the
overpowering consciousness of his Sinfulness
in the presence of immaculate purity. The
self-righteous man is satisfied with his condi-
tion because he himself is the standard by
which he tests his righteousness. When we
test our righteousness by the standard of
those with whom we come in contact, we feel
that we are not sinners. 1t is when we make
God our standard OF righteousness that we
feel the degradation of our sinful condition
and are bowed beneath the consciousness of
it as Peter was. If all the good people of
earth-the pure and the just, were gathered
into one place, all the bad people Of earth, the
vicious and criminal classes were congregated
to themselves, one would be an earthly
heaven and the other an earthly hell. So it is
in the spiritual life. The apocalyptic visions
of heaven always reveal the gates
standing open, and whosoever has the
disposition to go in can enter.
And yet if the unregenerate man should by
any possibility get into heaven, he would not
want to stay there. 1t is a law of human
nature that the vicious want to keep apart
from the righteous. The laws which God has
created for the government of the natural
world prevail in the government of the spir-
itual world. The law of affinity is as strong
there as here. Pour particles of all the min
erals on table and pass magnet over them,
only the iron and the steel will be taken up.
The same laws govern the spiritual life Only
the regenerate are attracted to the heavenly
courts-the wicked are expelled. Regulus
was punished by the Carthagenians by having
his eyelids removed and being fastened on
his back exposed to the glaring light of the
sun. No other pain is so intense. Admit
the sinner into the presence of :the refulgeut
light of Gods glory and the pain he would
endure would make the place a hell to him.

Will ProbabIy Go to winona.

Prof. V. G. Curtlss has not formally ac-
cepted the offer of the Winona board of edu-
cation to become superintendent of the
schools of that city ut a salary of $4,000 per
year, but he probably will. He stated yes
terday that everything looked favorable for
making the change, which will be very agree
able to him. The difference in the salary will
be quite an inducement. Prof. Curtiss is a
thorough educator and has made hundreds of
friends here who will be sorry to lose him.
He is well pleased with the Saltwater schools
and the people. His relations towards the
teachers have always been very harmonious.
He has been in Saltwater only three years,
which is scarcely long enough to make a
record. For these reasons he does not like
to leave. AT Winona he would have more
work, as more teachers are employed in the
schools of that city than here.

Mares Missed.

Joseph Dubord, Frenchman, living at
the corner of Mill and Edward streets in
West St. Paul, lost a couple of horses Sat-
urday night all indications pointing to their
being stolen. He had turned them out to
Craze on the island above the bridge. Prints
of some one barefooted could be seen in
the morning by the side of the hoof tracks
where they crossed the river. Both were
gray mares, matched, one years old and
the other -. The police in neighboring
towns were notified to look out for them.

She Had No Home.

Augusta Dahl, neatly-dressed young
woman, came in to the police station about
midnight last night homless and penniless,
and with a two-months-old babe in her
arms Some time ago her husband had de-
serted her, and lately she had been doing
housewOrk for a man who gave her her
board and enough to pay for the care of
her child at house in West st. Paul.
About week ago she went to work
at Browns hotel, corner Fifth and Pine.
The parties refused to take care Of her
baby longer and she brought it to the hotel
with her, whereupon she was turned out
last night by the proprietor, coming di-
rectly to the police station. She was sent
to hotel for the night at the expense of
the city.

FnGnTING AGAINST RUNE.
Addresses at the Grand Opera House
by Noted DiYines.


The floor of the Grand opera house. as
we'll as the first gallery. was well filled yes
terday afternoon, on the occasion of the
mass temperance meeting under the auspices
of the Gospel Temperance union. Rev. S.
G. Smith, pastor of the First NJ. E. church,
presided, and on the stage were seated
number of singers, both ladies and gentle
men, and the following clergymen: Rev.
Dr.. Howard Crosby, Rev. DR.. A. Z. Pier
son, Revs. Evans, McLaren. Gilbert and
Herriot of st. Paul, Mr. Smith opened the
meeting with few remarks congratulatory
On the size of the audience, and introduced
Dr.. Howard Crosby of New York city:
DIR. Crosby spoke upon the temperance
Issues of the day, giving some particulars of
the work in New York city. He spoke par
tcularly of the power of woman in the COM
munity, the personal private power of
woman, not in Orgs niZed societies or by resO-
lntions. If every young lady would say to
the young men: "Never enter my door, and
much less have you a chance at my hand il
you ever enter saloOn;" if the older
women would Danish liquor from their enter
tanments and cease to attend any place
which tolerated liquor; if all the women
would exert their influence in this direction,
the saloons would be wiped out. He urged
the personal effort of all, both men and
women, to see that the excise laws were
enforced.
Following DR.. Crosby, DR.. Smith spoke
of the power of the pocketbook in temper
ance work, and announced that collection
would be taken. He urged all to give as it
was desired to raise $500. While the col
lection was being taken Mrs. Fuller sang
Come Unto Me-" etc. The collection
amounted to S61.71.
Rev. DR.. A. I. Pierson of Philadelphia was
then intrOQlcnl @ no If
history would be found one continuous bat
tlefleld. The vices OF polygamy, free divorce
licensed prostitution, torturing to death,
slavery, intemperance and others were sub
jects of the warfare, and at the present time
the agitation was
DEVOTED TO INTENfPERANCE.
He thought much prayer was needed to
give intrepidity, and here paid a very high
compliment to DR.. Crosby, whose intrepid
warfare on the saloons of New York for len
years had beeD carried on without re-
gard to personal convenience. He
spoke of the enormous adulteration of
liquor prevalent, and said that while it was
had enough TO get runk on native wines, il
was infinitely worse to get drunk on
adulterated liquors. Philadelphia had 5000
saloons, and with an average frontage of
twenty-five feet they would build wall OF
saloons about the city. The mortality caused
by liquor IN a year would line the railroad
from New York to San Francisco with graves.
The alflience was dismissed with bene-
dictior from Rev. NJ. n. Gilbert.

THE BOR LYCEUM
Discusses Corporation and Be-
comes the ST. Paul a.yceum

comes the St. Paul Ayceum.
About twenty were present at the meet
ing of the Labor lyceum last evening. The
subject of cooperation was taken up and
discussed by G. F. Robinson, G. A. La
fayette and others. The plans of the Co.
operative Mercantile company of ST. Paul
were discussed and approved. A. G. Rob-
inson said that while he was resident of
Cincinnati number of molders formed a
cooperative foundry and he lent them $50
TASKS to begin with. Now they had one of
the largest institutions in the city and a
capital stock of $3.50, 600. He had seen
other successful efforts in the same direc-
ton. The workingmen should do away with
the middlemen and save these profits to
themselves. In running such an inStitu-
tion he would favor employing competent
manager outside the organization.
G. A. Lafayette brought up the ques-
ton of the future of the labor lyceum.
The meetings grew out of a meeting
called by clergyman to discuss the labor
question from moral view, and were for
the purpose of discussing practical ques-
tiOnS pertaining to either side of the
question of labor and capital, not as
political organization, as had sometimes
been asserted. He favored calling it the
central lyceum and adopting set of by
laws, giving the widest latitude in the
range of topics and discussion. The meet.
ing adjourned sine die, after which J. NJ.
Minor was elected president. and on motion
of A. l.. Robinson the new organization
was styled the st. Paul Lyceum. A COM
mittee of three, consisting of G. A. La
fayette, A. l.. Bobinson and W. f. Henry
was appointed on bylaws. A. l.. Robinson
was elected vice president.

the side of the pitcher in big letters was the

she could hardly walk, in answer to prayers for
