ton OF that country said that he had
been Informed by prominent priest
that the country would certainly be
bettered, and the bond of ailegi-
ance with England grow stronger
if parliament existed i'm the
country. In speaking of Scotland,
DR.. Christie said that he noticed many
improvements in the country since he
last visited the land of his birth, in 1877.
Glasgow had gone ahead in most re-
markable manner i'll the last decade,
the ratio of increase exceeding that of
Chicago. The condition of the poor
in the large cities had been inn
proved by spreading them through
the city, instead of allowing them to be
quartered in one section. DR.. ChriStie
described i'll eloquent language the
beauties Of the modern Athens, Edin-
burgh, within a few miles of which he
had been born. He had visited Iona
and Staffa, the Northern Highlands; and
in Rosshire, at Girlock, opposite the
island of Skye, had a good opportunity
of observing the condition of the croft
ers. From what DR.. Christie saw of
them he judged that they were in a
contented and happy condition. He de-
scribed the remarkable scene he saw on
a Sabbath morning, when the crofters
and their families were seen coming for
miles from their cottages OH the hills to
the kirk. The service. was in Gaelic,

inhabitants of northern Scotland Dr.s
Christie was very much impressed by
the publicity given by the newspapers
Of Scotland to any and every grievance
which the public thought fit to write
letters about, and while in Glasgow the
fact of certain BARRIERS raising the rates
on shaving caused numerous letters to be
sent to the, newspapers by the laboring
men of the city, who considered the in
crease a hardship. La speaking of Ions
don, DR.. Christie said it was impossible
to realize the vast extent of the city,
and the unceasing hustle and ru sh that
existed there. He thought that London
was as far ahead of New York in life
and activity as New York was ahead of
81. Paul. He witnessed while in the
vast metropolis the great labor parade.
which was one of the greatest ever held
in that city. The freedom of speech
allowed by the authorities was remark
abe, which DR.. Christie thought was
wise move, as it allowed the agitators to
get rid of surplus energy, which, like
steam in an engine. might cause damage
if confined. The reverend gentleman
was in the best of health and spirits,

forthcoming renewal of his spiritual la

agreement between Eastern importers
to raise the price ON jobbers, but do
not know whether even that is true.'
About how much do you think the
increase likely to be?''
There will be marked increase in
all of the class of goods affected by the
Mckinley bill, and it may range all the
way from 10 to 90 per cent.
Mr.. HeinemanD talked Interestingly
of the tariff, and concluded by an eX-
preston of his belief that Cleveland
would be elected by sweeping major
ity in 1892, in which large influence
would he exerted by the Mckinley
bill.
John Lind voted for the Mckinley
bill.
A prominent dry goods man, who did
not care to be quoted, said:
The deplorable feature of the situ-
alton in dry goods, and, in fact, in all

particle of doubt of this. The poor

tons, for what is true in one line is
true in all lines i'll dry goods. The
Irish linens, for instance. The tele-
grams tell us that every steamer from
Ireland is loaded down with
goods ordered in anticipation of
the advance in the American
tariff. This large importation will per-
haps keep down retail prices for this
fall-even, maybe. for the whole win
ter. But the advance will come in time.
and the poor folks will know it when it
does come. In the high-priced linens,
bought only by the rich. there is small
advance i'll the tariff. The raise in prizes
on such very fine linens will not be felt.
and will bankrupt nobody. But in the
coarSer linens the tariff advance is full
% per cent. Poor people are forced to
content themselves with coarse linen,
and will have to pay full quarter more
for towels, tablecloths and everything
else of that sort. The advance in prices
is out of all ratio. Not only will the
buyers of the lower grades of linen feel
the effect of the increased tariff, but
also the purchasers of low grades in
nearly all goods protected. The conf
petition among the merchants will put
the suffering off for some time, but
sooner or later the poor will feel the full

vance in tariff is altogether out of pro-

HIS TIME TO SMILE.
Preston X. Potter, Real or Genu

Preston X. Potter, Real or Genu-
inc, Wants His Estate.
Two years ago Marian B. Robinson
died, leaving an estate valued at about
$4,000 or more, consisting of twenty
five feet frontage ON East Seventh
street, near the Lumber Exchange, three
other lots and 81 600 in money. She has
no children in st. Paul. She had an
Illegitimate son. Preston K. Potter, who
left st. Paul in 1868, since which time
he has not been heard of hereabouts.
His mother married and acquired the
property mentioned. The probate court
has been asked to settle up the estate
and divide it among brother and sis
tiers of Mrs. Robinson.
The newspapers of this city NEIL
toned the facts some time since, and
these statements were copied into other
papers throughout the country.
Yesterday Judge Morrison, of the pro-
bate court, received letter from Coun-
ell Bluffs, To-, written by person who
claims to be Preston K. Potter, and ask
ing the judge to send him $50 to buy
clothes ana fix up before coming to St.
Poul to claim the estate.
1t is needless to say that the Judge
has no authority to do so, and will not
send the money. The letter is supposed
to have been written by an impostor.
The spelling OF the words, the use of
capital letters and the phraseology Of
the letter are Indicative of less learning
than the style of the chir0graphy
Ii it is from the real Preston K. Pot
ter, he need no longer be compelled to
work so hard and be SO dOwnhearted as
he Indicates he is by the letter, as he is

Christian -cience Rears It's Head
Under Chicago Auspices.


Under Chicago Auspices.
Rev. C. S. Van Fps, of Chicago, one
of the ablest expounders of Christian
science, and cultured and scholarly
gentleman, gave an interesting lecture
on 1.-The Principles and Practice of
Christian Science" last evening at West
moreland hall. He said: "The atten-
lion of the whole world is turned to the
subject of Christian science to-day. The
subject is SO great and so deep that it
engages the interest of people the world
over. Christian science is the teachings
of Jesus Christ scientifically stated and
applied; the mastery OF life and all its
conditions. Professors of many years.
study have failed to explain what the
life force is. God is the life force;
therefore God is life. This is
one foundation principle. 1t is
theology in the highest sense of
the word: it is to live in the spirit con-
tinually; it brings us into the know-
edge of the truth, and the truth sets us
free. Thus we come into the knowledge
in truth" Everywhere people are in
vestigating Christian science, and vast
numbers are embracing it. Ministers
and physicians are coming to the one
subject. With its help physicians are
doing a grand work IN healing. Promi-
nent physicians are employing scientists
to treat their patients, with the highest
results.
Christian science has reformed and
settled characters. 1t sets men free
from drinking, the use of tobacco: IT
don't make any difference what it is.
They are lifted above ali degrading hab-
its and made strong in character, and
| broken hearts are bound up and bur-
dens lifted. Christian science is the
living demonstration of the Nineteenth
| century; it is the living demonstration
of all the ages. There is no such thing
as putting it down. 1t will bear the
| closest investigation, and will not be
found wanting. 1t is the God presence
that will be with us through all the
ages of eternity"

) TALKED EARLY CLOSING.

The Trades Assembly Passes
Strong Resolutions on the Sub
+ ject.
!! At the trades and labor assembly
meeting last night the matter of early
closing was discussed at length.
: The special committee OIL early clos
ing had done thorough work in visiting
merchants and others OH Seventh street
and vicinity who insist in keeping open
sin,1defiance of the early closing agree
;ment. They are not open to ar
gument, aud claim that they lose
money by being closed evenings.
1t looks as if these merchants had
formed a union for late closing. There
were some others who wanted the Sun
day closing law enforced. The dele
gates from the clerks union claimed
that the dealers who made such ex-
cuses had no intention of closing. The
following resolution was passed:
Whereas, 1t appears that an attempt is be-
Ing made by several dealers to keep their
stores open in direct violation of the early
closing agreement;
Whereas, These violations are being
made in direct opposition to the wishes of
organized workiDgmen. be it therefore
and labor assembly be instructed to present
the facts i'll the case to their respective Or
CARNATIONS urging them to withdraw their
patronage from the stores that violate the
early-closing agreement; be it further
Resolved. That it is the sense of the as
sembiy that list of the dealers be published
and presented to each organization in the
city providing the agreement is not observed
in the future.
The committee on early closing were
instructed to take copy of this resolu-
ton to the dealers in question and get a
definite answer before the assembly
takes any further measures.
A delegate reported that three-story
frame building is being built on the
corner OF Seventh and Washington
streets which is not in accordance with
the building ordinance. The secretary
of the assembly was instructed to write
to the building inspector and ask an ex-
PLANTATION.

FOR THE HARVEST.
Interesting Musical Service a
Christ Church Last EVENING.

Interesting Musical Service at
Christ Church Last Evening.
Christ church, at the corner corner of
Fourth and Franklin streets, was filed
with vast congregation last evening
on the occasion of the Harvest Home
Festival of Thanksgiving, The church
and altar were beautifully decorated
with sheaves of wheat, corn, fruits and
flowers. the work having been done by
the Young Ladies' Guild. The service
was a full choral one in which the
white-surpliced choir of sixty voices
took part, snd the rendition of the vari-
Gus musical numbers was the finest
that has ever been heard in st. Paul
Service was opened by Rev. E. j. john
son, Of Boston, Mass, assisted by Rev.
John FL. White, of the Church of St.
Rev. G. d. Andrews, read the lessons,
and the sermon was preached by Rev.
John Wright, d. D., of st. PauPs
church. He congratulated the congre-
CATION upon the progress made in the
church music during the past
three years. In 1887 but one
vested choir existed in the
city, that of the Church of
the Good Shepherd; to-day there were
six. History taught us that wherever
there had been spiritual revival there
had also been a revival of church
music. Seventy-five years ago the
Church of England had developed het
musical service with the result that to-
day the church is one of the most power
full in the world. In England one found
the vested choir in the magnificent
cathedral and also in the small parish
church. At the time when the temple.
existed. services of song were held,
| which were accompanied by many
instruments. During the life of Gregory
the Great there had been revival OF
musical service. The vested chOirs had
become popular, and many persons at
| tended church to hear the music; he
warned bis hearers not to do so. They
should not go to church to be enter
| tanned as they would be at. concert,
| for they would forget the sacredness of
| the service in their love for the music.
| The great truth of God should not be
| sacrificed for the musical service. The
| service should touch the soul through
| the sacredness of the music.
! In the service of song rendered the
| principal feature was the Magnificent in

was rendered in perfect style. Master

| perfect manner, and the general senti-
ment expressed by the members of the
congregation after the service was that
it was the finest ever heard in the city.
