A College Burned.

terday morning fire destroyed the main
building of Callahan College, including
the reading room, library, laboratory,
music and art rooms and q fine collection
of paintings belonging to Prof. L. A.
Southadick. The firemen noticed q strong
smell of kerosene emitted by the
flames, and as there was no fire
in any part of the building and no paper
or rubbish of any kind to take fire from
the single gas jet that burned in the
mid lie of the nail, it is believed that the
fire was the work of an incendiary. This
is confirmed by the fact that a student
found both Of the Easement doors at the
north end wide open. The loss was $25 COO.

BEYOND THE GATES.
Sometimes in dreams see it,
This city fair and grand;
Its doors OF jasper brightness
Stand forth on either hand.
Twas here the pilgrim tarried,
And here good cheer awaits
The weary one who enters
AT the opening of the gates.
Each window is an opal
With hues born of the moon,
Through which rich perfumes wander,
Caught from the air of June.
And here are sandals waiting
In which the weary feet,
New shod in royal splendor,
May roam the shining street.
Oh, City of the Beautiful,
Could waking heart forget
The gardens where the lilies,
Like crystal flakes were set
Where heavens doves in sunshine
Like rainbows went and came?
Where the sun woke swathed in azure,
And died on fields of flame?
Here, too, are fountains playing
To cheer this heart OF thine,
And meadows flush with vioets
And winds as rich as wine;
While each thing glad and beautiful
The loving soul awaits.
When once the veil is rended,
And we stand within the gates.
Dear City of the Holy,
For the walks of palm long;
For the love that maketh lovely,
For the faith that maketh strong,
For thy green and growing cedars,
Thy lakes Of silvery calm,
For thy peace past comprehension
That floods thine isles OF balm
Take Thou my hand, my Saviour
The way is dark and wild,
Far off, a star, the city shines,
1t beckons on Thy child
JOY! joy they come, the beautiful;
A myriad host awaits,
And heaven refulgent floods my soul
AT the widening of the gates

An Exaegerated Fear.

Preachers deal so much with the I'M
seen that they are apt to take visionary
impressions of actual and material
things. At times what seem to them to
be menaclng facts are but colored lights
TO unprofessional eyes. A prominent
clergyman of this city fancies that all
other people are wrong i'm taking the
points of compass, and insists that
door of his church is to the west when
all others believe it Is to the east.

really insane. ERsKINE spent the entire
day in proponnding questions to which
he returned answers which were per-
fectly correct and rational. 1t was not
until the second days examination that
he touched the hidden wound which
would not heal, and when it gaped
afresh the whole instrument walled
forth in melancholy madness. There
are so many different forms of insanity,
and SO many phases of the same form,
and in the absence of any pathological
explanation of the horrid phenomenon
known as homicidal mania. it becomes
great temptation for counsel to manu-
facture the plea of insanity when there
is nothing else to say in defense of the
criminal. If there is prejudice against
this plea the criminal lawyers are
mainly responsible for it. 1t has been
their abuse of the plea that has brought
it into disrepute, until it is safe to say
there are more innocent persons con-
victed than acquitted on it.

The Smoke Nuisance.

1t Is admitted by Chicago papers
that the smoke nuisance in that city
must be remedied in some way if the
world is to come there to attend fair.
Soft coal is generally used, and the ca
pacity of the Illinois variety in this di-
rection is indispensable. A lady who
has resided in Chicago yesterday re-
marked that she never ventured upon
the streets there i'm white dress, and
it was noticeable that dark cOlors were
only used out of the houses. Expert
ments show that it is possible to get rid
of this smoke. There is still room for
improvement In st. Paul. A day or
two ago, local scientist observed a
dense volume of smoke coming out of
the tall pipe by the court house, lis it
will at times in spite of careful manage
ment. He insisted that it was Inneces-
sary at any time. and cited the case of
the COlonnade as one that would not
give any annoyance in this way. The
reason, he assigned, was that the fur
mace and boilers were constructed in a
scientific manner and produced perfect
combustion.

SUNDAY CHATTER.

Computations by Cardinal MANNING
show that the people of London are not
much of church-going community, or
do not have sufficient opportunities to
indulge their religious desires. He finds
that if the churches were to be filled
three times every Sunday there would
still be $780, 900 who would not be able
to crowd in. The large cities in this
country have better provisions in the
way of churches, but it is doubtful it
they provide sittings for more than half
the population. There is not often COM
plant. however, of their being over
crowded. Nearly half of those who are
of suitable age aud condition, probably,
are not classed with church attendants.
As the urban population is growing enor-
mously, the religious elements will need
good deal of activity to keep the
heather all in other lands,

The Free Lunch Crowd.

1t is one of the curious phases Of
human nature that people want to see
and experience things that are new, re-
CARELESS of any other value. In one of
the Eastern cities the other day a bridge
eighty years old was announced to be
free of toll on a certain day. and crowd
of people got there before light, every
one wanting to be the first to cross in
order to have that fact to tell. 1t is this
sort of incentive that leads crowds to
bore presidents and public men in shak-
ing hands. They want the fact to mar
rate, and the new experience. They
derive no benefit from the operation,
and might as well shake a pump-handle.
But 1t is human nature. In an earlier
period it was reported of the Athenians
that they ''spent their time in nothing
else but either to tell or to hear some
new thing" There was perhaps tinge
of jealous disgust in that criticism, but
people are good deal the same in all
ages

pened that LOWRY had the nerve, and
all the city got was the razzle dazzle"
This opinion was concurred in by
well known banker who had been listen
ing to the real estate dealers talk. An
alderman. who was one of the party,
dissented from this view of the situa-
ton, but confessed that 1t was source
of modification to the members of the
city council to have to be SO obedient to
the dictatioD of the chamber of con-
merce. 1--WE ought to have done as the
Ramsey county members of the legisla-
ture did last winter when the chamber
of commerce undertook to dictate leg
islature policy for Them" he added.
1--WE should have resented it and gone
ahead with our own plan Of adjust
ment." The general trend of public
sentiment, however, is that the city
council did the best that could be done
under the circumstances. On the prin-
ciple that we are working for ourselves
and not for posterity, it is our duty to
provide for present emergencies and
leave to posterity the task of caring for
the future. The time may come when
the city will regret ever having made a
compromise with Mr.. LOWRY; but if it
does come, let those who are living at
that time do the regretting.
