CUT THEM UP.
The Big Ranches Around the City
Ought to Go.

OuSuI " w.
The HERALD has frequently called at
tention to the fact that the big ranches
around the city are keeping back its
growth. One man at least has taken
his inspiration from this and will cut
up his holdings. A. II. Denker is fast
formulating plan to cut the Rodeo de
las Aguas into 10-acre farms, or rather
fine rural homes. He will soon be
ready to put them on the market in a
definite shape, and when he does a great
many of the substantial merchants and
professional men of this city will secure
a piece of this fine land to make beau
tiful home there.

DIED..

Dennis Hurley. aged A years. died of acute
nephritis Tuesday the 9th inst. in the hospital
connected with this institution. He came here
from Ramsey county May 20, 1889. under sentence
of two years for assault. His term of imprson-
ment would have expired the latter part of next
December Hurley was first taken sick with er.
yspelas about one month ago. He had nearly re-
covered when the disease returned in more ma
lgnant form, and along with this he took a severe
cold which was probably the actual of his
death. but the immediate cause was acute ne
phritis He had been having kidney troubles be.
fore he took the erysipelas. Hurley was an
ish-American and a citizen of New York where
most of his relatives reside. He was a veteran of
the late war and member of the G. A. H.
Hurley was one of the finest fellows, socially in
the prison, and was great favorite with his shop
mates If he finds good a record in the man
sion above he leaves in this prison house,
death to him nothing more than passage
from world of trouble to life of eternal peace.

He came. here on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 1878, and was
assigned to duty as cellroom guard. On the morn
ing OF Tuesday. Sept 9, 1890 he is again assigned
to duty as cellroom guard. But what changes
have taken place since that morning seventeen
years ago! Henry A. Jackman was then warden
and Major Edwards was deputy warden. There
was then only 126 cells and about eighty inmates.
There is not an officer here to-day who was here
the day Ben came and there is only one convict
and he is John Beaver There were no electric
lights. steam heaters. in fact none of our mod
ern conveniences in those days. But would
not have you tn ink that Ben is not still lust as
young as any of the boys about the prison.
We were inundated last Friday afternoon.
Owing to the excavation on Second street west of
the wall portion of the bluff through which
passed the water main from the large reservoir on
the mill, gave way and broke the six-inoh pipe.
The water rushed down the hill with roar that
could be heard all over the prison, bringing with
it hundreds of tons of the soft sandy earth. The
water cut channels for itself under the old board
fence and ran down behind the new wall and then
along to the unfinished gap where it poured into
the yard. The whole northwest corner of the
yard soon became sea of mud and water on
which fioated empty barrels, timbers, and every
other sort of foatable matter. The greater
quantity of the water escaped down commercial
alley to the catch-basin Of the sewer, but good
deal of it ran down the old railroad track back of
the shops and down Main street and out through
the big gate. 1t was only by the strongest efforts
of Guard May and his crew that the main stream
was kept from running into the tub and pail shop,
but owing to their rapid work only little of the
flood was able to get in. Not until the water had
been running nearly two hours could Foreman
Carlgren and Asst Deputy Glennon get the con-
nection shut off between the reservoir and the
break in the main. Very little damage was done
to prison property. but there is hundred tons or
more of mud deposited about the yard that will
have to be carted out. To look at the big stream
of water that rushed through the gap in the wall
it was hard to believe that it was all coming
through one small pipe.

SUNDAY Services.

Rev. Father Murphy conducted the services.
The gospel for the fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
was read. He took his text from ST. Paul's epistle
to the Galatians, fifth chapter, showing the in
efficiency of the Jewish law as then being preached
to them by Judaizing teachers who taught to seek
salvation through the works of the law in op-
position to the doctrine of redemption through
Christ by faith and good works.
The speaker took the life of Christ as the model
Of the only truly christian life and only by faith
in Him as the Redeemer. and by following his ex.
ample of doing works of love and charity could
salvation be gained Those who hope for salvation
through Christ must not only believe in Him but
must practice self-denial sef-control, charity
and brotherly love toward all men irrespective of
earthly condition. Christ is practical teacher
He does not tell you what to do but does the thing
Himself as an example for you to follow
In the gospel of Jesus Christ we find this great
law: Thou shalt love thy neghbor as myself"
1t was on this command -'Thou shalt love thy
neighbor thyself'-that the Rev. Father dwelt
especially and he said that few people have a
clear understanding of this law. People often ask,
"Who is my neighbour" Every man is neighbor to
every other man whether friend or foe. To do the
will of God we must love our fellow man. and it is
not possible to love God and hate our neighbor-
for by hating our neighbor we dsobey one of Gods
commands. This law admits of no exceptions, be.
cause neighbor is human being, and we are
all created by the same God and are his Children.
All men are created equal, God did not make the
rich of one kind of material and the poor of an
other kind of material; but we do not seem to
recognize this fact and disposed to love only
those whom it pleases us to love. And when we
do practice this command how selfshly dole
out love. To the imperative command
''Thou shalt love thy neighbor thysef'-we
respond by loving those whom we cannot help
loving The extent of the average mans love for
his neighbor does not reach beyond these three
classes: first his blood relatives; second those to
whom he is drawn by their kindness to him; third,
those who compel his love by their beauty and

The Chautauqua system divides itself into two

is the summer school on the lake of that name,

the school, schools rather-for there has grad.

nuclei-every branch oflearning, art science
has a six weeks term devoted to it. The lessons
are so long, the study severe that more than
one two branches can be taken during a sum-

tions.
Every kind of person is found among the stu.

attractiveness. These are the ones upon whom
we lavish our love, while we should love all
fellow-creatures. We must not consider whether
q man is rich or great. but must love him ire
spective of his position or racial we need to
know is that he is a child of God He may be
poor and mean and greatly inferior to you in your
own eyes. but in the eyes of God he may be your
superior. He is trending to the same end and
perhaps he may reach it and you may not. All
your earthly possessions, Of riches, high position
or fame, will be as nothing before God-He will
look at nothing but the condition of your soul.
If we love only those who can and do favor us we
deserve no credit-suoh love is nothing more than
selflOve. We must love our neighbor we love
ourselves if he returns evil for good, for it
is the will of God. If friend comes to see you
and brings his servant with him. you treat his
servant we'll, and if he has dog you treat it well
also. We cannot be friend to God if we iil-treat
His servants. You are, if you hope to please God.
obliged to love all men without distinction. You
came from the same place and are bound to the
same destination-he is your brother and you
should treat him such.

There is another victim in the Auburn,
N. Y. penitentiary shortly to be executed
by the same process as was Kemmler. The
barbarity of the first should call halt in
the management of the second. Men in the
woody West shoot one another for a fancied
wrong or murder, but they don't descend to
snuffling out a human life in the manner
they would that of an insect. The refined
cruelty exercised in the case of the poor
wretch Kemmler would excite the wonder
of the novelist Rider Haggard. who is GER
tainly far reaching enough in his sensations.
1t is question, and ever will be, as to the
exquisite or awful agony suffered by the
New York murderer lately executed by the
grace of God and the New York officials,
whether the man died by the first or second
current poured into his body. Let there be
no more mistakes. Criminals have rights
as we'll as cattle.-Solid Muldoon.

AeRAHAM's OAK. i,
A Tree Reverenced Alike by jew, Chris
tian and Mohammedan.


The old oak at Mamre, in Syria, or, as
1t Is known everywhere, "Abraham's
Oak" is one of the most famous and
venerable trees in the world. 1t is rev.
erenced alike by Jew, Christian and
Mahometan, for it is supposed to mark
the spot where the patriarch pitched his
tent in the desert. There is q supersti-
ton in Jerusalem, and in all the coun-
try about, that whoever shall cut or in
jure this tree will lose his first-born son.
So for centuries it has been allowed to
toss its gnarled and contorted limbs in
the gales which sweep from the Medit-
erranean over the Syrian plains.
This tree was visited by Sir Joseph
Hooker in the autumn OF 1860, and in
his paper upon Syrian oaks, read the
following year before the Linnaean So
ciety Transactions, xxiii.), he gave a
description of it and portrait drawn by
his own hand.
Abraham's Oak was found to belong to
Quercus pseudo-coccitera, which, to
quote from Sir Joseph's paper, 'is by
far the most abundant tree throughout
Syria, covering the rocky hills, of Pales-
tine, especially, with a dense brushwood
OF trees, eight to twelve feet high,
branching from the base, thickly COW
cred with small evergreen rigid leaves,
and bearing acorns copiously. On Mount
Carmel it forms nine-tenths of the
shrubbery vegetation, and it is almost
equally abundant on the west TANKS of
the Antilebanon and many of the slopes
and valleys of Lebanon. Owing to the
indiscriminate destruction of the forests
in Syria, this oak rarely attains its full
size. The circumference of the trunk of
"Abraham's Oak" is given as twenty
three feet and the diameter of the spread
of the branches as ninety feet.
Quercus pseudo-coccifera is an ever
green species with the general appear
anoe of the lick of Southern Europe,
and closely related, botanically, to @.
coccifera, common and widely distrib-
uted scrub oak of Southern Europe and
of Algeria; indeed, Hooker was of the
opinion that the two plants were merely
geographical varieties of the same
species.-Garden and Forest.
