LEPROSY OF THE SOUL
Depicted Faithfully by One of
ChriSt's Teacher

The miracle of the cleansing of the
lepers furnished the basis for Father
Fitzpatrick's sermon at the Cathedral
yesterday. 'The miracle related,'' he
said, twas among the last performed by
our Savior. He was on His way to
Jerusalem, and as he neared little
town sorrowful appeals fell on his ears.
They came from ten lepers who stood
afar off, daring not to approach as their
very presence breathed contagion.
Their appeals for mercy came from the
depths of their hearts and touched
sympathetic chord in the heart of the
Saviour, who said to them: ''Go, show
yourself to the priests" A new sensa-
ton came across them telling them they
were indeed healed. But one among
the number, Samaritan, returned and
gave thanks. Accustomed as he was to
the ingratitude of his people, Jesus
was surprised and said: NO one re-
turns save this stranger Then turn
ing to the Samaritan he exclaimed:
hath made the whole" This
miracle had a deep signifcation,
the leprosy of the Bible being but
synonym for sin in the world. Its ef-
fectS on the body are similar to the eff
fectS of sir on the soul. 1t is an afflic-
ton so terrible that to properly depict
leprosy was almost impossible. 1t eats
up the flesh and destroys, in time, every
faculty of the mind until the victim be-
comes terrible wreck. In olden times
the leper was summed by everybody,
and that he might be identified, he at
tired himself in
A GARB OF MOURNING.
Pleasure unalloyed he saw every
where around him, but he dared not
partake of it. He was creature with
out hope. Born unhappily, he must
live so and die ignOminiously. His life
was perpetual struggle, and the
thoughts of his miserable existence.
terrible. When anyone approached
him, he cried out: beware of the i'm
pure" Physicians were powerless to
stay the ravageS of this dread disease.
There is in man mystery more
the soul. Man, made after the image
and likeness of God, should be
perfect reflection of Gods goodness
and greatness, and in the enjoyment
of faith and hope he is destined
to live in happiness in this world. But
the leproSy Of the soul soon steals in
At first the imagination will be stained
and sinful thoughts the upshot. Sin
will by and by destroy one by one the
noble faculties OF the soul, and truth
will become dimmed and finally re-
jected; pleasure will take the place of
duty. The past has but regrets, the
future is dark and gloomy. As with the
leprosy of the body there was but one
who could effect a cure so with the lep-
rosy of the soul there is one who can
say: ''Be made clean" That one is
Christ, who can give back tranquility to
mind and conscience. Moral lepers, as
well as real, are still eXtant IN the
world. How many there are who have
need to cry out like the poor Samaritan:
''Jesus, master, have mercy on u.s." 1t
we only had the faith of the lepers we
also would hear in the quiet of our con-
sciences: arise! Go thy way; thy
faith hath made thee whole"

was resting easily. A few minutes be-

Three elderly ladies sat at the dinner
table OF certain well-known hotel yes

and might have been taken for trio
from the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, were it not for the fondness
they displayed during the meal for the
cup that cheers and inebriates. Hardly
had they taken their seats when one of
them beckoned to the head waiter aud
whispered something in his ear. The
latter went out and soon appeared
with a bottle (qt) of Schlitz' beer,
which he placed before the eXpectant
women. The other boarderS looked on
and smiled, one man remarking that
they must have mistaken the place for
Grote's. In short time the. glasses
were emptied and another bottle Or
dered. The head waiter, after a short
vacation, planked second quart on the
table. By this time all hands were
''on," including the waiter girls, who
Uttered audibly. An interval of five
minutes saw the glasses empty again.
and again were the services of the head
waiter called into requisition. The
boarderS uow began to shift around in
their seats to get square look at the

up to this time wore a smile of
good nature on his countenance,
now looked tired as he Won
dered how long this bevy of
female Gambrini were going to keep
the thing up, But he went away and
returned a moment later with the third
bottle. This went the way of the other
two, and in a hurry. At this juncture
the cook in the room in the rear OF the
dining room was heard to cry out:
Whats the matter with them?' And
voice from the lobby answered back:
They're all right" The head waiter
was lolling against the door post con-
graduating himself that the beer-chas-
ing racket was over, when a signal

calculations into cooked hat He was
sent out fourth time, but when he
came back it was not with beer. He
was armed with pint of old ''tangle-

all gone the trio were on deck They

FROST DAMAGES CORN.
Prospects for the Crops Through
out the State.

out the state.
From the weekly weather crop bulle-
tins of the state bureau it appears that
all reports show that the temperature
has been below nominal throughout the
state during the week.
Frost occurred on Friday, the nth, in
the central counties and northward, re-
sulting in slight damage to corn, late
sown wheat and vegetables.
The rainfall has been slightly above
the average in the southern tier of
counties: it was deficient in Northern
Minnesota, and very much SO about the
center OF the state.
North of the latitude of st. Paul there
was plenty of sunshine, and south of
that line the skies were mostly cloudy
during the week.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions since the beginning
of this month, it is believed that with
seasonable temperature and fair weather
for a few weeks a good average crop
can yet be secured.
st. Vineent-A very few have begun
barley cutting. The cold weather has
greatly retarded the ripening of the
grain. The killing frost of friday morn
ing is estimated 10y some to have ruined
half the wheat, but this is probably an
eXaggeration. Garden produce affected
greatly.
Argyle-First days of the week
cloudy, followed by plenty of sunshine.
Haymaking has progressed finely. The
wheat crop is ripening slowly. Barley
harvest commenced this week. There
was frost this morning Q7th), but it
is not thought that wheat is damaged.
Moorhead-Weather conditions of the
past ten days have almost revolution
| lied the crop prospects in this section.
| The heavy wind storm of the 18th inst.
| blew down or broke off the wheat over
| large acreage. AT points ten or twelve
miles east of this station this wind was
accompanied by hail, which destroyed
| about 1000 acres of wheat and other
| growing crops. Slight damage to corn
| by frost Oh The 18th.
MOrris-Cool, cloudy, damp weather.
Occasional slight showers delayed har-
| VeSting.
Red Wing-The small grains will be
very poor; potatoes will be good; corn
will be very good if the season is long
enough for it to ripen. Hay is excel
| lent.
Zumbrota-Harvesting has been de-
layed by rain. Yesterday was pleasant,
and if it continues dry, stacking will be
| general by Monday. Corn is backward.
Currie-Rain most of this week, which
| has delayed harvest very much. Weather
too cold for corn, but has hot hurt other
grain. We have had heavy wind
storm and some hail. Crops will not be
as heavy as expected, though with fair
weather we will have good fair crop.
Rolling Green-The amount of light
rain has delayed harvest. Oats and
wheat only half a crop. Potatoes good.
| Flax promises well. Corn doubtful.
Small patches of buekwheat doing
| fairly.
La Crosse, Wis.-The late excessive
| rains have caused serious injury to stand
ing grain and that in shock. Corn is
doing nicely. Warm, dry weather the
remaining portions of the month will
permit the garnering of the crops in

sACRILEGIOUs THIEVES
Trapped in Church While Rob-
binC a Money Roy

ST. Mary's church, corner Ninth and
Locust streets, was the scene of dar-
ing and sacrilegious attempt at robbery
yesterday afternoon at the close of
services. The sexton paid visit to the
church about 1 o'clock and discovered
two men at work on the box i'm which
the collections are deposited. One of
them had long piece of wire, which he
deftly manipulated in searching for
coins in the box, but he had his trouble
for his pains, since the money collected
at the forenoon service had been taken
out by the church officers.
With the aid of the police the sexton
secured the robbers, VINO were taken to
the central station and locked up on a
charge OF attempted burglary. The
prisoners gave their names as julius
Bavotti and r. B. Hart, and upon
searching them they were found to be
fully equipped with nippers, pincers.
wires and other implements affected
by cracksmen. The lock on the church
door had been picked to effect an ell
trance, and the police are of the opinion
that two clever thieves have been
trapped.

An amusing case of absence of mind
was related yesterday concerning a
young lady who is at present engaged
i'll the arduous duty of ministering to
the wants and whims OF sick friend.
There is a messenger call in the house,
and of late it has been in frequent
requisition for boys to go after the
doctor, attend to having prescriptions
filled and the usual routine of a sick
room. The patient wanted drink of
water and the nurse started, pitcher in
hand, to obtain cooling draught. In
stead of going to the sink where the
water could be procured, she took posi-
tion at the messenger call, turned the
knob and held the pitcher under the
disc. While standing abstractedly in
this position for few moments she was
suddenly aroused by the apparition of a
grey-uniformed Mercury who inquired
what were her orders. The situation
dawned upon her, and she hastened to
fulfill her mission and tell a good story
at her own expense.
