HOPE "a ..,iGA TIL.
Repentance Will Not Take Away
Punishment.

There was large congregation at the
Peoples theater yesterday morning to
hear Rev. w. s. Wallis discourse on the
subject. 1.-THE Day After DEATH"
mo religious teacher has attracted
the masses in the Interpretation OF
Christianity" said the preacher. who
has not made death the central point OF
his preaching. Shall we then conclude
that it is not q profitable subject with
which to deal? When we turn our eyes to
the past, the sermon OF many lands, de-
livered in the great cathedral, the num-
BILE church under the shadow OF signing
pines, OF in the fsherman's chapel hard
by the sounding seas, have been of this
subject. The hymns sung in the great
choral service by few persons, or by
devotees sitting alone by the organ. have
all seemed to touch at this point, or at
least to imply some thought of it.
After death we hope for immortality,
and we believe that in the light OF
modern knowledge much has been re-
vealed that will guide us in our hope.
What have the advances in the present
generation taught us? Chiefly that
nature is not eapricious: that God does
not send storm in a moment OF anger;
that the world is governed by law.
From this dO we not Infer tnat tO-inOr-
row will be as to-day; that there will be
no unusual movements or sudden and
mighty upheavels that are not results
of processes long at work. The man
who dies to-day will carry a character
which is the result of all his life, and
he will not be much changed by the
event of death. The criminal swings
into eternity, declaring that Jesus paid
it all. and that he is free with nothing
to impede his happiness! 1t seems
too bad if we desire quality in heaven
that all the criminals should repent
and go there, while Emerson, Lincoln,
Jefferson, Longfellow and the worlds
greatest lights should be bowling in
hell. Even repentance will not take
away the punishment which man de-
serves. 1t is ingrained in the constitu-
ton, as the orange is the result OF cli-
mate. sun. seed ana rain. Life is the
result of inheritance. thoughts and ten
denotes. By business ability a man
though wicked may prosper, by cum
ming criminal may defeat the prison,
by tough constitution man may es-
cape the results of dissipation that
comes in ordinary life. 1t is only
question of time, however, for the blood
poison, if not eradicated, will spread
and the climax will come. Repentance
NAV give man strength, but his heal
ing must be accomplished by the law
of retribution."

TWIN CITY TRAFFIC.
Aid. Pratt Makes Interesting
ComnaliSOnS

"Interurban travel does pay" said
AID. Pratt, of Merriam Park, land the
roads are getting a big revenue there
from or the service would cease to exist.
A prominent official connected with one
of the lines stated to suburban resi-
dent. when asked why Communication
rates to the suburbs were not reduced,
we know when we have good thing
and propose TO hold on to it as long as
we can
1.-The Pennsylvania railroad between
Philadelphia and New York cuts no
figure in the case at all. These cities
are .ninety-one miles apart and in no
way similarly situated to each other as
the Twin Cities are. In the former case
travel is commercial and is between the
financial and political centers of the
country. The trains thereon are not to
be compared with the service rendered
by the interurban lines. Comfortable
firSt-class cars are provided here and the
speed is limited to twenty-five miles per
hour. but in the Pennsylvania railroad
case. the finest coaches and parlor cars
in the world are run at a speed OF fifty
miles per hour. Sucn service and speed
are not required here and consequently
we should not pay for it. Travel on
Eastern roads is not continuous and
uniform, while il is here. No matter
how tight the money market, or badly
depressed business is, the merchant or
clerk must go back and forth daily and
put no for two or three months trans
portatlon in advance.
Because the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba railway runs through sparse
iy settled country in Dakota cuts no
figure in the interurban controve. sy; nor
because part ofits line is built through
non-produetiye country should the inter
urban travellers pay for miscaIcuiations.
There does not seem to be any justice in
the statement of p. III. Kelly to the
chamber of commerce last Monday
morning s'that the ,interurban line is
used to pay the interest on bonds of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba for
Dakota extension. This is
TRRoBGH-A THOUSAND MILES
of unproduetiye territory to build up a
city at Great Falls, and we of the inter
urban district arc expected to pay for
it. Nowhere in tile country can be
found SO short line ten niles with a
big city at each end and stations be-
tween whose monthly ticket sales in
some cases exceed 81 900. st. Paul and
Minneapolis, as far as business inter-
ests are concerned, are almost one city,

Kate Castleton's Paper Doll.

Such 1efreshingly clean and whole
some fun as that presented at the New
market theater last night by charming
Kate Castleton and her company OF eX-
cept ionallysclever comedians, is indeed
a delightful treat. The initial produc-
ton Of "a Paper Doll'' in st. Paul was
given, to the intense satisfaction of
numerous and sharply responsive audi
ence. A plot was farthest from the
thoughts of the author of the skit, but
it is laughing success nevertheless,
and Miss Castleton and her company
gave it ''go'' of unusually large cali

ton is, of course, the bright, particular
star, and there was nothing to do but
surrender at once and acknowledge her
as such. Still, there is an absence of
the one-star flavor which very often is
monotonous. Miss DeaveS divided the
honors with the charming. Kate. Her
trayesty on "The Beautiful Snow was

The TOWN CRIER.

Careless travellers are continually
leaving their money behind them after
a stay at a hotel. and sIngularly enough
most of this coin of the realm is taken
to the Office, and in due time returned
to its owner. There are many stories
aflOat among hotel men or the rolls OF
money which were found in days gone
by, by the cOlored men or chamber
maids. The latter found most OF the
long green, however, as it would be
tucked beneath the pillow for safe
keeping, and would not be missed until
its owner was many miles from the
scenes of his prudential measures.
Honesty is it's own reward sometimes,
and though occasionally generous man
appreciated honesty in substantial
manner, yet often the reward was ri
dicuiOusly small, or even dwindled into

In 1876, when the National Republi-
can convention was held in Cincinnati,
the large influx of strangers caused all
of the hotels to put on an increased
force, and among the number of tempo
rary employees at the Burnet house was
a green, raW-boned, Strapping negro,
who journeyed OH foot from the inte-
rior of Kentucky in hope Of finding
temporary employment during the rush

As may be imagined, his efforts to

being nearly cOtemporaneous with
.Methodism 1t is impossible to co m
pare these two latter denominations,
except as to this matter of origin.
Methodism is sturdy oak, though but
century old. Its branches are spread
ing over all the world, and its leaves are
for the healing of nations. Its churches
are numbered by the tens of thousands.
and its numbers and wealth and benev-
oleuces by millions. Universalism has
less than thousand churches in this
country. and is practically unknown
abroad. Its active ministers are few
more than 500, and its benevolence has
no scope outside its own national and
denominational limits. The relative
growth of the orthodox churches speaks
for itself as against the vaunts of that

SAINT PAUL.
TOPICAL AND TIMELY.

One word spoken in the nick OF time
will sometimes mould mans future or
terminate his present. No better eX-
ample of this fact can be given than
statement of an incident of Judge BriS-
bine's career. After studying hard he
was called before an examining com
mittee to be questioned upon the ex-
tent of his legal knowledge. The first
question put to him was the Old form,
''What is the object Of the law?'
To this the now venerable counsellor
quickly replied: "FeeS, by C."
The court locked at the young man
in astonishment and the committee
were amazed at this answer. Mr. BriS-
blne grew as red as Minneapolis ham
and showed signs of cold wave. The
committee looked at each other and
theRelooked at the applicant. The ques-
ton with them was whether to sentence
him 10 ninety days under water. hang
him or cruelty him. At last they came
TO the conclusion that Mr. Brisbine
possessed all the qualities of an able
counselor and sentenced him to practice
law with a recommendation OF mercy TO
his clients He was thus admitted TO
the bar. and has been all honor to the
profession ever since.
A story of Bill Nye, which it is
claimed has never appeared i'll type. IS
related by Nye's friend, E. S. Thomp-
son, in whose Office he studied law and
upon whose advice he quit that business
and betook himself TO journalism. Mi.
Nye with dozen fellow students was
before court for examination for ad-
mission TO the bar. Each in turn was
examined and the examining board re-
tired TO consider the result of the yari-
GUS applicants. Mr.. Nye was informed
by the board upon its return to the court
room that it had come to the conclusion
that lie knew less about the law than
it did of him and he was therefore,
declared to have "fiunked." One Of
the members. noting the doleful .looll
upon Nye'S face, arose and addressed
the sorry young lawyer as follows:
." We are exceedingly sorry, Mr.. Nye,
that we cannot admit you 10 practice
law in the courts of this state. But ii
YOU will study earnestly, aSSidu0usly
and perSistently i'll the meantime. you
can appear at the next term of the
court, and we will consider your ease
again"
After breathless silence OF half
minute, like that in coffin. MIR. Nye
arose, and. as if administering the last
sad oath to a condemned alderman,
said: May 1t please your honor to flX
the amount of bail for my appearance at
the next term.'' The board retired to
the ice box, reconsidered their verdict,
and admitted MIR. Nye on suspicion.
