TOWN TOPICS.

In view of the new letter boxes on
our streets, it is pertinent TO ask how
would a one-arned man get a letter
into one of them?
All the morning newspapers have
made arrangements TO secure more
newsboys to handle their increased
issue on Sunday. This is a result of
the war announced by the ministers.
The GLOBE has been requested to
deny that Col. Thomas Lowry always
wears rubber gloves when manipulating
electric line stock.
Foster and Hengle have closed a deal
with Sam Morton by virtue Of which
he will sit in the middle of their rink
on such days as yesterday and keep the
ice good and hard.
Jake Helm is in sackclOth and ashes.
The German authorities will send man
after Schneider.
The amateur detectives, enlisted from
the ranks of the Y. NJ. c. A, spent
yesterday in receiving the cOngratula-
tons of friends and in detailing their
deeds of VaIOr while running the gaunt-
let of sin and the devil on Saturday
night.
Herbert Putnam, of the public library,
will resign his position as assistant re-
porter on the Pioneer Press. because of
the alleged picture of him published in
that paper yesterday. Like his friend,
Z. c. Babb, Putnam can stand abuse,
but not ridicule.

painter, but bis critics and the rival
schools of the fifteenth century, and e..eea
dying bishop of st. Praxed tells US in
two Oh three pages, not only all his own
personal weaknesses, but most of the
conflicting elements of the sixteenth.
Many such vivid reproductions of tile
past Browning has given Us, chiefly in
Italy, for that was the land of his love.
'Open my heart and you shall see
Graved inside of il, Italy"
Browning's religious sympathies were
broad, and most people could find some
support for their own opinion in his
pages. He sometimes shows up the
foliies and faults of the church with
severity that would delight its worst
enemies. On the other hand he
can defend the most orthodox
doctrines, and defend that agnOstic
Bishop BlOugram for supporting them.
In his christmas Eve" lie begins with
positive ridicule of the meeting in the
dissenting chapel, and Of the fat w0-
man who ''purred with pleasure" IN
hearing the ''preaching-man'S immense
Stupidity" but he concludes by seeing
that with all their errors, they have the
substance OF the very best religion.
and by Joining with them in the clos
ing hymn 10 Hepzibah tune" He
is just as favorable to the Catholic
church. and though picturing its faults
without mercy, many of his nOblest
characters are from its members. Such
is that Pc mpilia, one of the purest and
saintliest women in all literature, and
such is her most noble prleStly defender
CapOnsacchi. And in that Ring
and the Book" the pope is
not only one of the grandest of
characters, but one of the freest from
prejudice, praising the old heather
Euripides for his immense moral SUI
periuritv to the sons of the church. And
Browning not only shows such sympa-
thy with both Christians and heather,
but an especial sympathy with the
Jews. He makes continual Use of the
rabbinical legends; he delights to
ridicule the church for its perse-
BUTTONS and hatred of them, in
such poems as ''FilipO Baldinuccl" and
"Iloly Cross Day." IN the latter he
makes Rabbi Ben Ezra declare that if
Jews did cruelty Christ, they have
since been truer followers of Him than
the Christians have been: and to this
same rabbi he aScrlbes mis- most eS-
teemed religious poem. In short,
BrOwning's religion was broad enough
to embrace the Catholic church, the
Anglican church, the dissenting chapel,
heathen Greece and Judaism without
partialty.

THE FIRE ESCAPES.
Over 100 Notices Served by Mr..
HaZen Up to Date.

A decided movement is being made
by Inspector Hazen in regard to fire
escapes. All day yesterday he was
kept busy filling out blanks according
to the reports of the deputies in regard
to the needs of the various buildings,
being addressed to the "owner, lessee
or occupant" of the building, and read
ing as follows:
I'm conformity with the provisions OF
chapter 1873, GeneraI Laws 1888, also Sec
tons IS and 81 of the city ordinance relat-
ing TO buildings. you and each of you are
hereby notified TO construct or cause to be
constructed on and permanently attached
to said building the folowing'-then
stating the number and position of the
fire escapes and anv alteration of the stair
way The notice also states that the
plans of the building be submitted TO
the building inspector and also states that
SHOULD you refuse or neglect to comply with
the conditions of this notice within thirty
days from date Of service thereof, you viii
be subject to the penalties prescribed By law
for such refusal or neglect"
Mr.. Hazen evidently means business,
as over 100 notices have been served al
ready, and others will be issued as soon
as the reports of the deputies come in.

IRELAND AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Archbishop Delivers a Ser
mon at ~. EliZabeth'S Church.

mon at ~. F.lizabeth's Church.
Archbishop Ireland delivered a most
interesting sermon yesterday morning
at St Elizabeth's Catholic church, cor
ner of Eighth street and Fifteenth ave-
nue.. He opened by referring to the
coming Christmas celebrations and the
reasons why we should rejoice. By
meditating upon this, he said we
become better able to assist in the cere-
monies. Christ came into this world 10
show US by his death on the cross, the
greatest proof of His love which we
could understand. We only under
stand divine love when it is made
human. and for this reason God gave to
us His only begotton son." He then
dwelt at some length upon
the sufferiugs of the Savior and
of our unworthiness. After showing
how miserable the soul was without any
knowledge of its hereafter. he portrayed
Christ teaching his disciples the immor-
tally of the soul. the beauty and ma
Jesty of God, and the laws which must
be obeyed in order to obtain heaven.
How He left them His church in order
that the truths which he had taught
might live forever. He then pointed out
the sacraments as being left us to wash
away the stains of sin, and urged
that as the Christmas holidays were ap-
preaching, all should make new res
Olutions to do good and avoid evil, All
the elements of evil, in hell or on
earth.' not being powerful enough to
lead us into sin unless wewill it. In clos
ing he spoke of the peace of mind which
a good conscience gives and said that
that peace far exceeded any Joy to be
found in this life. The sacrament of
confirmation was administered to a class
of from fifty to sixty at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, the archbishop being as
sisted by Rev. j. c. Byrne, chancellor
of the diocese, Rev. DIR. Cestell, of
Thomas seminary and Rev. Bernard
Landinery, pastor of the church.

1hs Fourth Danz Concert.

The increasing popularity of the sa-
cred grand concerts by the Danz orches-
ira was well attested yesterday by the
fact that Harmonic hall was not large
enough to properly seat the people who
came to attend the fourth concert of
the series. In fact, quite number
failed to gain admission, and it is likely
that Prof. DAM will find it necessary to
give the remaining concerts in some
larger auditorium. Yesterdays pro-
gramme. made up from requests was an
admirable one. and every number was
rOundly applauded. Owing to the
length of the programme only two num-
bers were repeated, "Dream on the
Alps" and Lion du Ball." the audi
enee insisting upon repetition so
strongly that denial was impossible.
Prof. Frank DAM Jr. was made to bow
his acknowledgements repeatedly, and
the concert was a complete success.

ANOTHER IN BROWNING.
A Devoted Admirer Gives an In
depreciation OF dis l. fe.

A Devoted Admirer Gives an In
terpretation OF His l. fe.
Rev. Marion d. Shutter preached at
the Church of the Redeemer yesterday
morning to a congrega ton that filled
the house to the top seat of the gallery.
Hi. theme was Browning. He said:
Browning is the poet of man,as Bry-
ant and Wordsworth are the poets of
nature. Browning sees very little in
nature. and cares very little for what he
does see. He believes with Pope that
the prop ar study of mankind is man.
So we turn to him for. light upon the
old question, What is yOnr llfe%
Browning has a hearty, healthy trust
in human nature. He sees the
evil and does not screen 1t;
but he points out, insists
upon, and emphasizes the good. He
believes that in the strife between the
wheat and tareS. the tares will finally
be burned and the wheat will ill with its
golden grains the garner of the Lord.
He has also deep and fixed belief in
God. While he ridicules the idea that
God is altogether such an one as we, in
passions, capriceS, likes and dislikes, he
believes in the divine wisdom and good
ness. From this vantage ground he
looks upon man. imperfect and unde-
velOped. struggling painfully up to-
wards God. and sees in the world, with
its trials and reverses, the very means
by which the goal is to be reached.
Browning measures men not by what
they accomplish Outwardly in the world,
not by their achievements, but by their
ideals. 1t is not the work of our hands.
but the Outreachings of our hearts that
determines whether life be successful.
Such success may he achieved in any
position in life. The faithful soul, how
ever humble. is always necessary. God
Himself cannot dispense with that soul.
Nor did Browning limit the period of
mans development to this world. He
believed in the continuity of life-the
life immortal. Somewhere the work
must be completed. Somewhere vic
tory must crown every battle!"

sHEPLEY's LARGE DEBTS.
They Are Now Said to Amount to
at Least $4,000.

1t is now claimed that E. R. Shepley,
head of the Farmers Grocery company,
which did business on Nicollet island.
and who is said to have lefthis creditors
at the bottom of deep, dark hole, got
away with more money than was at
first supposed. The indications are that
he cleared something like $4,000
on the little deal. He had about

CENTENARY METHODIsTS.
They Will Erect a New Building
in Minneapolis.

Since Rev. Fl. II. French's appoint
ment to the pastorate of the Centenary
NJ. E. church the congregation has
increased owing to his efforts. He has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of all
the necessity of a new church. The old
one on the corner of First avenue south
and Seventh street is clearly too small
to accommodate the congregation. and
they have decided on building a mag
nifcent edifice on some lots owned by
the church at the corner Of First ave-
nue. south and Grant street. There is
some debt remaining on the old edifice,
which will be paid off and the building
probably sold.

ROBERT BROWNING.
Rev. III. NJ. Simmons Dissects the
POETS Religious Views.


POETS Religious Views.
at the First Unitarian church yester-
day morning Rev. II. NJ. Simmons spoke
of Robert Browning, and especially of
his treatment of religious questions.
He said that, except occasional
enigmas, which. however pulling,
afford an added pleasure to
those stopping to guess them,
Browning is by 10 means so obscure as
is commonly charged. He abounds in
most graphic passages, pictHring per-
sons and passions in few strong words
with artistic power. His chief dramatic
power is seen in those poems where only
one person speaks, but in such way
that you hear all the others about him,
and see the whole scene and circum-
stances. In this way, for instance, his
''Fra Lippo Lippi' pictures not only that

means of Van Haagan's invention the

and thoroughly, with a. saving OF one
third in the raw material, and the
product is pronounced to be Of much inner
quality than any manufactured after the
old method. Van Hagen II fifty years

America in 1859, and, after working at
his trade (riachinistl in philadelphia,
he grew Disconnected and began rowing

The Mem bcrs' losses.
fPy telegraph 10 tho DispaHn.l

WASHINGTON, December 19.--The special
House committee investigating the SlIcott
defalcatiou has at last agreed upon re-
port, bv the terms OF which an appr0pria-
tiOn will be asked 10 make good tue losses
sustained by the members OF the House.
Messrs. Holman and Hemphlll could not
be induced TO unite with the majority III
this agreement
MIR. Holman wished TO have the $4,000
remaining IN The Scrgeant-at-Arnss Office
distributed first 10 the members who had
money on deposit and lOstit (the total be-
ing about - OU0) and to have the remain
der divided pro rata among the members
who lost their November salaries.
Mr.. Hemphill favored the reference OF
the case TO the Court of Claims. Against
tins proposition it was argued that Con
eress could not compel any one 10 make
uD the case before the Court OF
Claims. while in the absence Of further
LEGISLATION any member had the right
TO 90 before that tribunal and sue
for his lost salary. The committee
therefore accepted Mr.. Holman's view as
far az it went, but added another clause
providing tor the passage OF an approprla-
lion of so much money rs might be neces-
sarv TO make good the deficiencies IN sal
aries after the distribution Of tho
funds on hand. 1t was estimated
that about $4,000 would cover TINS
deficiency. III view of the necessity for
securing the concurrence OF the senate ana
also in anticipation OF good deal of de-
bate in the House upon the bill which will
be prepared. the committee decided that
it would withhold its report until after the
holiday recess. as nothing would be gained
by bringing 1t in one day before recess.
A separate bill Will also be reported,
making the Sergcant-at-Arms the ds-
bursting officer. and including other proFi-
sions of other bills introduced.
