QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
As 10 the Probabilities Of DakOta's
Admission.

Dennis Hannifin of Bismarck, OAK,
generally known as the original Spoopen-
dyke in Stanley Huntleys famous papers,
is in the city on his return from Washing
ton. Mr.. HannIfn was accosted by a
GLOBE reporter, and in answer 10 questions
made some interesting statements regarding
the probabilities of Dal1ota's admittance.
Mr.. ii. i'm appearance resembles hardy
Westerner, and his dialect is peculiarly
adapted to the West He is tall angular
man. with rather of sinister expression on
his countenance, but IN conversation his
features brighten, his eyes sparkle, and
singular emphasis is noticeable in his
speech. When asked If he favored admis-
sion he said. Eyes, Just as it is, in all Its
bouadless magnitude and grandeur"
''What are the chances for the passage of
the bill for division and admission Of the
southern half?"
"None at all. The bill passed the SEN
ate by two majority, but will be killed in
the house by az least forty, which is a
straight party vote. We are sure that the
president is opposed TO division, at least he
gave us to understand as much"
"What scheme do you favor in relati on
to admission"
''Let Dakota enter as she is, one vast and

ceptions that is the feeling of the people Of
| Dakota"
do you think the division bill will be
settled this session."
''Most assuredly. 1t is now in the hands
of the house committee on territories and
will be returned to the house probably next
week. when the vote will be taken"
''DO you believe the promoters of the
| division bill are working merely for polit-
ical purposes?"
bod CAST it, If don't, and I'd do the
same thing myself if 1 lived south of the
46th parallel.
what is your opinion regarding any
further territorial appointments"
There will not be measly one made
until after congress adjourns when gen.
eral slaughter will be commenced.
eff the territory is admitted as whole,
who is likely to be the candidate for United
States senator in the northern part?"
Maj. A. w. Edwards Of the Fargo Ar
gus. who handles more political wires than
any man in the territory"
AT this juncture Mr.. Hannifn stated Il
the reporter that this was the first inter-
view he had allowed with a reporter since
he left Bismarck. He says he was fire.
quently called upon by newspaper men il
Washington. but declined TO talk. with one
exception. and that was with the Washing
ton correspondent of the GLOBE, to whom
he stated that the division bill was origin
ated by political nabobs who had carried
the senate. but the opposition held the act
in the house and the president. and Mr.
Hannltn says when a person holds the ac

Alley Bonner.

Bessie Forrest, the gray mare which Gen.
James f. Robinson used to drive on the
road'at Lexington, is the dam Of the bay
gelding Alley Bonner, by Startle. This fell
low was dropped in 1879. and he has shown
a trial i'm 2:23. He is owned by Mr.. Wal

handled again in the spring by CARL >.
Burr at Comac. He stands little over 10
hands, is gated like Majolica, and should
beat 2:2O before the end Of the season. he
is a game horse. In fact; he could not be

was noted for her resolution. and there was
no weak spot in the makeup of Startle.

COOped Up in n Coffin.

Boston Globe.
In village not far from Boston an at
tempt was recently made to reform by fright
a genial old chap who was so strongly lin
love with his cups" as to be habitually full.
Friends had labored with the erring brother
in vain, and in despair he was left for any
one to reform him who could, and in any
way they chose. A number of young larks
in the town decided to try the experiment
of fright.
One warm summer afternoon the old fell
low got as full as tick, when the commit
tee on reform procured a coffin from an
undertaken and placed the soggy topper
inside, with the lid turned back to give
him air, and conveyed him to the church
yard cemetery, where. concealed behind
the shrubbery, they awaited his awakening.
After two hours sleep the old fellow
awOke. and weighing his head from side to
side, and struggling to raise his hands, the
seriousness of his position seemed to dawn
upon him. He finally raised his head,
looked down the length of his coffin, sur
veyed the tOmbstones and monuments OF
either side. and finding none other similarly
situated, he said: I'm (hic) either the
(hic) first man, or else (hic) I'm left"

OF ought to be. a society for the worship or
God. and through that worship to gain
inspiration for a helpful ministry to men.
Christianity created the churches, not the
churches Christianity. The failures and
shortcomings of the church are not the fall
ures of the religion of Christ. and their
failures have been, cOnfessedly, in not
making religion the personal and social
force it should be.
The church of the past, with its historic
mistakes. is still too often cOnfOunded with
the church of to-day, under its changed
conditions and aims. To-day's Church Is
irving to meet the questions of the hour
and to emphasize the gospels economical
principles, and bring out its philanthropic
and helpful side. The evangelism OF the
present is practical, aggressive, impartial
and promiseful.
TO-day's church owes to the working
classes more sympathy.
THE BURDENS OF wAGE-EARSERs
are not fictitious, but real Labor is under
paid, Overpressed. and our dealings with
the labOrer are too often for the commodity,
viz: Labor, and not with the individual
To-day's church owes the working class Co
operation. That can be realized through
the spirit and duty of brotherhood, enjoined
by the gospel. The early churches were
communistic. We must recognize the
brotherhood of man. Our religion must be
applied to the practical affairs of life. We
are drawn together by service more than
by dogma. The church needs TO be rid Of
all selfshness and fired with the enthusiasm
which will make its members seekers OF
men, going up and down giving help and
cheer.
To-day's church owes the working elias
not only recognition and welcome, but tn
use of them and their gifts. We must Sc
cure their cooperation in the evangellc a
and charitable work of the church. I hC
greatest evangelists of to-day are men who
have belonged to the working classes and
who understand their hearts and needs.
We have something to gain from them as
well as they from us. Disinterested labors
for the good Of others give back to us
better impulses and holier promptings. We
all owe obligations to each other and must
work together in raising humanity to higher
and better conditions.

The Bones of a bloody Battle.

SaII Lake lily IrlOune
Some two weeks since, at the foot of a
lofty precipice, ShoshOne Indian found the
skeletons of man and bear. In the grip
of close and deadly combat they had toppled
over the dizzy edge of the cliff to crushed
ana mangled death on the jagged rocks be-
low. The frames of both bear and man
were powerful specimens of their respective
species. The bones of the man closely ap-
preached the gigantic, while those OF the
Bear suggested the great strength of the
terrible and dreaded silver tip or Rocky
Mountain grizzly, Amid the massive ribs
of the bear there was still planted the long
and once trenchant blade of hunting knife.
The keen weapon had been driven home by
a vigorous hand. On the crushed hips OF
the human skeleton were.still the battered
remains Of handsome revolver, evidently OF
English make. On the breech plates OF
this weapon were some words. These, a.
traced by the Indian, were j. B.. Lon.

National Tro,ting association.

1t IS not likely that many changes will
be made in the rules of the National Trot-
ting association by the turf congress, which
will meet at the Grand Pacific hotel, Chi
cago, on Wednesday, Feb. 10. The ma
jOrity of the rules are good enough. The
main thing is TO secure the proper enforce
ment of them. A few changes are needed,
and these will be made in a conservative
way. The representation on the door of
the congress promises TO be national in
character. Gen. TiltOn. Geo. NJ. Stearns,
hon. Lewis j. Powers and others will
speak for New England. The New York
delegation will be of high character, and
so will the delegations from Pennsylvania,
Ohio and other states. AS Chicago is Sc
accessible to the Western associations. we
shall look for every member of any import
ance out that way to be represented on the
floor in person, not by proxy.

The Cold i'm KenIucky.

We have had in Kentucky some three or
four weeks of very bad weather, rain. snow
and changes from mild to severe cold. At
the best of times our climate is remarkable
for its varied and rapid changes. We had
a mild and open winter up to Jan. S, when
we had severe blizzard accompanied by
rain and snow, followed in less than thirty
hours by intense eold-15o to zoe below
zero. While we write "wednesday snow
covers the ground from ten to twelve inches
and is still falling. The horses have been
restricted to walking exercise under shelter,
but taken as a whole the different strings

Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. THE model for the
great monument ordered by the city of
Brooklyn to commemorate the wars of the
United States has just been completed by
j. Q. A. Ward, the sculptor, at his studio
in this city, and will be placed on exhibit
hition in Brooklyn next Monday. 1t is.tO
be the most elaborate and extensive mOnu-
ment in this country. 1t consists of q
central circular shaft crowned with group
of three figures, representing the angel Of
peace separating the combat between two
soldiers. This is spirited and full
of life. The upper drum of the
shaft is encircled with baSsi reliey,
| typical of the arts, science, education,
history, agriculture, commerce. etc. At
the base of the shaft there are four abut-
ting pedestalS, crowned with equestrian
| statues of Washington, jackson, Scott and
Grant, the great generals of the Revolu-
| ton, the war of 1912, the Mexican war and
| the Rebellion. The lower drum of the
shaft back of the generals contains the
names of the famous battles. The base of
the shaft between the pedestals will consist
| of bas relief five feet high, telling the
story of the civil war, with scenes showing
the rally to arms, departure of volunteers,
women's hospital work, the sanitary service.

| and the battle of the Merrimac and the
| Monitor. At the bottom OF the upper bas
| relief and the front of the shaft above the
| figure of Grant. and facing the west and
the city of Brooklyn, are the words, in
colossal size. 'Let us have peace" Be.
meath the statue of Washington are the
words: ITO those who founded; beneath
jackson, ITO those who defended; be-
meath Scott, ''TO those who extended" and
beneath Grant. ITO those who preserved"
| A circular platform 100 feet in diameter is
at the foot of the shaft. This is reached
from the ground by four flights of steps,
one for each quarter. Between the steps
are pedestals, five in all, with life-size
bronze figures representing infantry, artil-
lery, cavalry and marine men. There are
outpOsts or picketS for the main monument.
The monument will be of granite and
bronze and will be placed on the plaza at
Prospect park, and so located that the
steps to the platform will face Ninth, Flat
bush and Lafayette avenues and the en-
trance to the park. Jackson faces the park
and Washington and Scott are on either
side of Grant. The whole structure will be
eighty feet high, and will cost from quar-
ter to a half-million of dollars.
