CHATS IN CORRIDORS.

There are few churchmen in the United
States so we'll known as Bishop j Ohm II. Vim
cent, of the Methodist church, the founder
of the Chatauqua university. and the we'll
known lecturer. bishop Vincent reached st.
Paul from the East early yesterday morning
and spent the day at the Ryan, lecturing at
the Central Park M. E. church in the even
ing. He is a charming talker, and one of
those men whose good humor fairly
bubbles over and wins man who
could not be persuaded by years
of cold logic. Unlike DR.. Talmage the late
Henry Ward Beecher and other well known
divines, DR.. Vincent is not sensational
minister, and the reputation he has won has
come TO him as the result. or rather the re-
ward, of hard and conscientious work. The
thousands upon thousands of busy men and
women who have taken the ''Chautauoua
course" all feel that they know DR.. Vincent
whether they have ever seen him or not, and
they are ali acquainted with the amount of
energy work and enthusiasm he put i'll the
movement that finally eliminated in the
formation of Chautauqua university Bishop
Vincent is still chancellor of the university
he founded.
Judge L. L. Baxter, the well knows jurisL
of the Seventh district, came down from
Fergus Falls yesterday and is now at the
Merchants. During the past few weeks
Judge Baxter has been holding court for
Judge Edison, of the Eighth district, who has
for some time been seriously i'll at his home
in Glencoe. IN the counties of The Eighth
judicial district, Scott, Carver. Sibley, LIE
Sueur and Mcleod, Judge Baxter felt very
much at home, for in the years gone by he
was personally known to nearly every
lnhabitant of them. In early days the Judge
represented Carver county i'll both branches
Of the state legislature, and there was no
more popular man i'll that section of the
state. His popularity has not grown any less
i'll his old home in his absence and he posi-
lively enjoys going back among his neigh
bors of early days, even if it does entail con-
siderable work. Court week in the Eighth
district is made great deal more of than
ii is in most Of the other districts
OF the state, the people coming in from all
parts of the counties to Chaska, Glencoe,
Shakopee, Henderson and LIE Sueur Center,
as the case may be, thus affording a man who
attends court an opportunity of seeing a
large proportion of the prominent men of
the county.

ing defeeted both the regular Republican, as
