MUSICAL MATTERS.
The Closing Concert of the Danz
Series.

The twelfth and last of Prof. Danz's
season of semi-monthly concerts was
given yesterday afternoon before fair
sized audience. The programme was
one of unusual excellence. and was
rich in popular music such as
catches the common ear. The
most warmly-received of these
was the Ballet advertisement, King
Henry Will" by st. Salem. a novel pro-
duction in four parts, that included a
Scotch idyll and dance of the Gvp-
sizes, both very catchy. Bach's "Cele-
brated Air" for violins was encored, and
also the Schubert Serenade." The
programme closed with the grand in
PRODUCTION of the third act of "Lohen-
grim" The regret felt by all present
at the conclusion of the concert
was increased by the fact that
this concert was the last one.
While the attendance has always been
good at the entertainments, and was
very fiattering to the leader Yesterday
considering that the street car strike
has eliminated all means of local trans
portation. the lovers of good music in
the city feel that they would like to eX-
press their appreciation of Prof. DAMS
efforts further. To carry out this idea
it is understood he will soon be invited
! to give testimonial concert as fitting
Wind-up of the season.

nation, and one of the sections of the
penal code referred to in the proclama-
ton proper, was furnished to each of

that all citizens shall be protected in
their rights of person and property, and
to this end do request all good citizens
to attend to their regular business and
to abstain from assembling in crowds
upon the streets, or engaging in the use
of any loud or bOisterouS talk, calculated
to incite disorder, and do especially
warn and admonish all persons TO re-
frain from acts of violence or hindrance
to the operations of the street railway
companies, or from in any way interior
ing with persons in the pursuit
of lawful avOcations in connection with
such railway companies or in any way
destroying or injuring the property of

their lawful use q. the same. The laws
of the state of Minnesota are adequate
to the punishment of any persons guilty
of any disturbance and interference in
the directions indicated and such laws
shall be enforced and public order
maintained at any cost. For the in
formation of the public | call attention
to sections 1873 and 40 of the Penal
Code of the State of Minnesota.
E. G. BABE, Mayor.

USES OF A CHURCH.
Ii Is Not a Raft to Garry Members
to the Eternal Haven.

Rev. Marion d. Shutter spoke at the
Church of the Redeemer upon the
uses of the church: I'VE have slipped
away from the old ecclesiastical ideas:
the church is not raft upon which we
are floating over the pillows of time to
the eternal haven; so that whoever
manages to get upon the raft is safe,
while the rest are swept down by the
waves. Nor is it an arbitrary arrange
ment on the part of God. fastened by an
external decree upon the human con-
science. The foundations of the
church are laid i'll human nature,
in the religious and social instincts.
The function of the church is
to inspire worship, to train the con-
science, to keep alive the immortal
hope. The church is school where
those who are imperfect, but who aspire
to better things. may learn the lessons
that will make them grow. AS to creeds
1T Is competent for every church to
define Its position-state the idea for
which it stands. But this should be
done i'll the simplest form and fewest
words, and modified from time to time
as new light comes into the world. For
a church tacitly to pledge itself never
to have new idea is for it to bid fare
we'll to the present and future, and roll
itself mummyllke into the catacombS
of the past. The creed should state the
idea of the body and should not be re-
garded as necessarily the measure of
the individual. 1t should he charter
of liberty and not writ of imprison-
ment.

TO KILL A MONO POLY.
A Scheme to Have the City Buy
Tom Out.

1t was learned at the Labor Temple
last evening that citizens committee
of which G. L. Erickson, John McCarty
and Thomas c. Clark. are members are,
in accordance with suggestions made at
the Bridge Square, mass meeting, So
Letting signatures to, petitions request
ing Gov. Merriam to, allow the intro
i duction of bill in the legislature con-
demning the street car lines and fran
chise of the Minneapolis Street Railway
company for purchase by the city.
The movement is one that has
long been considered by the labor
ing men of the city, and it is
only resurrection of an old scheme.
1t is exciting more interest now than
ever before. and all the strikers and
hundreds of other working men are tax
ing great interest in the matter, and a
large list of signers is sure to be OBJ
tanned. The idea took with almost
every sympathiZer with the working
men to whom it was mentioned yester-
day, and the probability is that the gov
ernor will be buried under pile of
petitions before Saturday night.

s'And he saith unto them, Follow Me

1.-THE name Christian he said, twas
not given to the followers of Jesus until
A. D. 4S. Here we have an older name,
and one given by the Master himself,
Fishers of Men,"
FirSt-lt suggests that the Christian
life is not sinecure. 1t means busi-
ness. There is something for every one
of Christ's people to do. +,
SecOnd-The business of Christian
is in the nature of promotion. Not
many are called to give up everything
that they may devote themselves to the
exclusive work of the ministry. As q
rule the new convert is expected to cons
time his trade or his avOcation, but OH
higher level and for nobler end.
Third-The ultimate purpose Of ri
Christians service is the conversion of
the world.
Fourth-This is honorable work :.
there is nothing grander or more like
God. When Lyman Beecher was OH
his death-bed he was asked: What
seems now, in the light of eternity, tile
greatest thing?" After a moments
thought, he answered.: ITO win q
soul" ,
Fifth-The animus of the work is a
passion for souls. We must perceive,
to begin with. the value of soul as set
forth by Christ Himself in the question,
What shall it profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?" We understand its danger also,
and the need of Immediate action.
SiXth-As to the modus operandi,
Christ said, Follow Me, and l will
make Vnu fishers nf man }, We need
not, then, undertake to qualify ourselves
for the work; Christ Himself promises
to do that if only we will follow Him.
But what is it to follow Christ? 1t is to
initiate His manner of life. 1t is to copy
His faithfulneSS in prayer. 1t is to fol-
low Him as He goes alone to the homes
of Sln and sorrow.

THE CABLE BEING CUT,
Two Bolts Are Cutting Into a
SuSpenSiOn Bridge Cable

Perhaps it might be wise plan for
the city engineer or some other city
official to go out onto the suspension
bridge some day and note the mischief
which some bolts on the post on which
the new electric light in the center of
the bridge reposes are dong. The heads
of the bolts are pressed up against the
small outside cable which supports the
sidewalk on the suspension bridge.
next to the new steel arch bridge, and
every time team passes over either
bridge the bolts grind into the cable.
Already the cable is cut into nearly an
inch, and large number of the wires
composing 1t are cnt into. Of course
there is no immediate danger, but it
would seem that the trouble might be
remedled by changing the bolts to some
other place.

WILL THE PRICE COUP?
Big Packing Houses Will Not Sell
in Minnesota


The Minneapolis representatives of
3 Armour. Swift d Co., the Kansas City
Packing company, George Il. Ham
mond & Co. and The Cedar Rapids
Packing company have received notice
! that those companies, which are the
four big dressed meat and packing
companies of the West, Will sell no
more dressed meat in this state. This
is on account of the passage of the
dressed meat bill; but that the firms
should pull out now is rather mystic
rious, as the bill will not become law
until signed by the governor, and will
not be operative until inspectors
have been appointed and several minor
matters arranged. Nj any of the local
dealers regard it as a bluff on the part
of these firms to influence public senti-
ment against the bill. The shippers
are much opposed 10 the law, and have
suggested testing its cOnStitutionaIity
7in the courts.
Most meat men think the bill will in
crease the price of meats here. but some
think not. All agree that the quality
of beef will be poorer than that shipped
III from markets nearer the corn belt,
and there. are some who have their
doubts about large packing business
ever proving profitable in Minneapolis
or st. Paul.
J. a. Byrnes, of the Minneapolis Pro
vision company, says he doesn't look for
any advance in prices. He thought the
stoppage of supplies from the great
packing houses might Inconvenience
local dealers for day or two, but thinks
there are cattle enough in the state to
make the matter all right. Another
dealer SAID the whole thing was simply
bluff to try to affect the governors
