ordinary interest have been termed
''uneventfuF' days. and last Friday was
one of these. The good old lady on this
day had meeting of young ladies, and
sixty of them made vows of cOnsecra-
ton. Call that on 'uneventful day."
shouted Mrs. Maggia last evening; 'if
YOU boys do not get things right L will
undertake to do the reporting from this
camp meeting" Mrs. Van Colt has
been the stay of the meetings the
past week. Twice a day has she adj
dressed large audiences, and very sell
dom are people found who are dlssatiS-
fed with her manner or methods. Her
dramatic work at times equals that seen
lIpon the stage. During the week the
attendance has been steadily on the in
crease. The first part was wet. cold
and discouraging, but the parties inter-
ested were bound to make it success,
and Yesterdays attendance was the
greatest of any week day since the
opening of the encampment. The fact
that the day was in the hands of 1.-The
W. G.. r. u. might have had something
to do with the numbers present. the at
tendance being close on to 1880 people.
A greater number of permanent
campers arrived yesterday than on any
preceding day. Many came to remain
over Sunday, and a greater number ar
rived to remain throughout the entire
encampment. There were about
twenty-four new tents erected and cot
tages occupied. The hotel accommoda-
tons are about tested to the utmost.
Scarcely bed could be secured in the
evening. and guests were informed
that the best that could be done for
them was cot Oh the third floor.
The management of the hotel this sum-
mer is excellent, and people are we'll
satisfied with the fare. Mr.. Sherin is
proving himself an able manager. and
he Is given great credit for the manner
in which he is conducting the encamp-
ment.
The estimated population of Red
Rock last night was 1.400. After the
ARRIVAL OF BISHOP NEWMAN
this week it it is expected that this
number will be doubled. Bishop j. P.
Newman is one of the most noted and
best known men III the Methodist
church, and this is largely due to the
great friendship which existed between
him aud President Grant. Up to the
time of his election as bishop he
had been pastor of the Metropolitan
church in Washington which was at
tended by President Grant. 1t was by
him that Bishop Newman was sent
around the world on tour OF inSpec-
ton of the United States consulates.
In the later life of Grant the two were
great friends, Bishop Newman accom-
panying him on many of his trips, and
finally he was present at the deatiibed.
of the president at Mount McGregOr.
/. 1t was this friendship, many think, that
gave him the election at the New York
conference, in which he was. made
bishop. While the election was pend
ing. Mrs. U. s. Grant gave a reception
to the Methodist conference, and the
now Bishop Newman. was made the
lion of the evening.
= w. CT. u. DAY. x
Saturday was prohibition or w. G.
T. U. day at the encampment. A TEN,
perance love feast at 9 O'Clock opened
the DAVIS exercises. Mrs. H. A. Hobart
spoke of the enforcement Of the law,
and she expressed the opinion that those
officials who did not enforce the law
should themselves be prosecuted for
malfeasance in office. DR.. W. w. Sat-
terlee acknowledged that the states had
many good laws which were not Gu
forced. but he believed that this was
due to the TACT that there were not
elected men who would do the enforc-
ing. God, he believed, was putting a
stop to such nonsense by the recent de-
feats of the prohibition cause i'll Penn
sylvania, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island. Laws should be backed by
party who believed in the laws.
At 1890 Mrs. H. A. Hobart, of Red
Wing, president of the state w. e. I. u,
Mrs. G. r. Newcome, of Minneapolis.
She gave the history of the growth of
the w. G. Il. U.
Miss Files, OF st: Cloud. conducted
Band of Hope meeting at O'Clock. The
speech of the afternoon was given by
Rev. j. P. Pinkham. of Minneapolis.
He spoke for nearly two hours on the
follies of high license and the needs of
a third party. He argued that the law
of God was against high license.
In the evening Mrs. Van Colt spoke
from the words Escape for thy life;
look not behind thee, neither tarry in
all the plain" found in Genises XII, II.
The awful uncertainty of life was pic
tured in strong colors, and with painful
stories of it's brevity she successfully
reached the hearts of her hearers.
