J. Hunt, Co. A. 164th Ohio, Munroe-
Vile, o., says that there Is one case on
record where rooster did good service.
Reuben Sutton, 55th Ohio, was once
wounded in the face and sent 10 the
rear, where Surg. Cook attended 10 his
wounds. Years after the wound gave
the comrade trouble, and he applied for
n pension, but DIR. Cook was unable TO
remember ever having treated him.
Now, while Sutton was in the hospital
under the Doctors care. during the war,
the latter had purchased rooster,
which ANNOYED the sick comrade very
much by its growing One night the
rooster disappeared, and Conirade SUIT

When he first applied for n pension
Comrde Sutton had entirely forgotten
this little incident, but remembering IL
afterward, he recalled IL 60 the mind OF
DIR. Cook. and the latter gave him an
affidavit that helped him 20 secure his
pension.

The typographical Union Met.
But Considered Only Routine
RUSinaSS

The Typographical Union Met.
But Considered Only Routine
Business.
The Typographical union met at La
Dor Temple yesterday afternoon, and it
was expected that the dispute between
the job printers and Typothet8 would
be considered. but, so far as could be
learned, nothing was done concerning
that matter. If anything really was done
the members of the union would say
nothing about it last night. From all
that can be learned there will be no
strike to-day. although it was announced
some time ago that unless the employers
should concede SIC per week for fifty
four hours work, nine hours per day, a
strike would be ordered on June 2. The
Typothet8 as soon as that announcement
was made as coming from the union,
met and canvassed the situation. Then
they went over to st. Paul and talked
with owners of job offices in that city.
All concurred that under the present
condition as regards prices, the job
printers could not afford to pay more
than they are now paying. This rule
regarding the nine-hour day Was also
to be applicable to the weekly news
paper OfnceS. LII many OF the O11ceS
from which weekly papers are issued
the men are, it is claimed, making
much more money than this. The job
offices make the same claim. But the
union has held that the decision Oh the
wage question was reached for
the purpose of equalizing the
pay of all printers in the
city. Some of the employers who would
be affected by this demand have gone
so far as to assert that their employees
are perfectly satisfied. and that the
whole matter has been worked up by
the printers on the daily papers. How
ever that may be. the Typothet& de-
cided that it would be better to stand a
strike than to reduce the day, SO they
fatty told the printers that they
would concede nothing. and, in
the event of a strike, would make
every job office in the city non-union.
This, naturally, caused the printers to
pause and consider. 1t is generally be-
lieved that they have come to look
upon their demand as unwise and some
what hasty, consequently there is little
likelihood of a strike, at least for the
present. Meanwhile the union will
take steps to bring about all amicable
compromise.

AGAINST HIGH LICENSE.
Such Laws Are Not PrOhibitory
Rut in Favor of Saloons.

Such Laws Are Not Prohibitory,
But in Favor of Saloons.
Mrs. Helen Cougar did not have a
very large house at Armory hall yester-
day afternoon to listen to her TRADES
against the liquor traffic, the counter
attractions of pleasant weather and
the lakes were too strong, but the few
who were there seemed to enjoy her dis
course. most of them being w. c. I. U.
ladies and their husbands. Mrs. Gou-
gar spoke on "Prohibition VS.. High
License and dashed the fathers Of
the present Minnesota liquor law
most numerically. She began by
referring to the slavery question as one
partaking much of the nature OF the
liquor question, and described the fall
ure of the government to put down the
former evil by establishing 1.-The high
license Mason q Dixon's line" She
took the ground that the attempt now
being made in many states to restrain
the liquor traffic by means OF high
license measures as similar to the move
mentS to check the progress of slavery,
and declared that both would end the
same way. There came day when the
people had to decide whether this nation
should be republic OF a slavery oil
garchy. The time will come. she thought.
and is nowrapidly approaching, when a
similar decision will have to be made
between a republic and a saloon
oligarchy. The saloons, she said,
rule the nation. and the work of the W.
c. r. u. is to overthrow the saloon
power by beginning the work of reform
in Christian homes. thus fostering and
developing sentiment which should
operate to the crushing of rum selling.
She held that high license is not means
of reform, since it operates to concen-
trate the saloon power into the hands
of a few instead of checking it; it gives
to a comparatively small number of
men the power in politics formerly
welded by many, and thus facilitates
the employment of that power.

not begin and end here; that duty has
to do as we'll with the future as with the
present, and that the way to prepare
for that is to rightly use this. In our
short-sighted view we overlook the fact
that the Decal0gue looks two ways-the
one upward to God, the other downward
to man. Here the whole philosophy Of
well-ordered life is found. The clearest
visions of all the seers, the Wisest words
of all the sages; the best discoveries OF
all the workers in all the realms and de-
partments of economic science, the
most sincere, honest and capable
student of the proper positions
of capital and labor, have made
in 5000 years of anxious toll, gained
no result which is not contained in this
old Mosaic relevation. No man now
lives who is as accomplished, as useful,
as kind and as holy. No mans circum-
stances are as happy and as properly
balanced. No life is as full of all that
is ideal and desirable as this old law, as
interpreted by the carpenter of Gallilee,
would, if followed perfectly, make the
entire race. 1t must never be forgotten
that it is not law or religion which has
caused the present disOrdered state OF
things in which we now exist. 1t is
broken law and neglected religion.
When rich man treadS to the dust the
rights of his fellow man. and when a
poor man despises work and Scamps it,
they alike find terrible words of reDuke
in the law and in the offices OF religion.
The world is manifestly built on we'll
considered plan, so that it ministers,
when properly used, to true, pure
manhood, and the great plimordial
instincts of the race bear glad
witness to this fact that the material
can and should be made to minister to
the spiritual, eternal good OF man. Here
it is that labor rises out OF degradation
into high and God-like use. so that
which before seemed curse is in very
deed blessing; it becomes an ednca-
tor. The man who joins two words
work and pay-together and sees
nothing more is not making the best OF
both words. The whole disorder of So
ciety is sin, no matter what particular
form it takes, and in exactly the proper
ton we get rid of it in that precise pro-
portion we do away with the results
thereof. Any proposition to rectify the
ills of the present, apart from the prin-
ciples have laid down, wilk end in
disappointment, failure and annihila-
ton, while the man who fears his God,
loves his fellow man, and sees in him a
brother, who looks at the world as a
place In which his nOblest powers are
to be cultivated by grace for another
state which Christ has revealed as being
laid up for those who love Him, is, on
any possible theory of life, safe and
blessed.

They Will Ask Questions.

Commencing to-day the 156 enum-
orators appointed by Sup ervisor Dayen-
port will begin the work of taking the
census of Minneapolis. Mr.. Davenport
has issued circular in which he calls
attention to the fact that the census is
made the basis for representation in
congress and in the state legislature,
and that if complete list of every one
living in Minneapolis is returned this
congressional district will be entitled to
three representatives in congress, i'll
tead of one as now. MI. Davenport
also says that Minneapolis pays one
third of the taxes OF the entire state,
while it only has one-eignth of the rep
resentation. He requests that the
enumerators be given every assistance
by the citizens, and the names of any of
their neighbors who are absent from the
city be given to the enumerators. The
work must be completed within two
weeks.

AN IMMORTAL SERMON,
In Which Peter Defined the Law
of Salvation.

At the Church of Christ Rev. w. j.
LhamOn yesterday morning spoke upon
"Peter's Preaching on Pentecost." The
history of the pulpit tells of triumphs
equally startling and significant with
those of the battlefield, he said. We
read of decisive battles; there have
been decisive sermons. The names of
great preachers will outlive those of
great generals. Moses, Isaiah and Ezra,
Peter, Paul and Augustine. Savonarola,
Bossuet, Luther, Whitfield and Wesley
are among the immortal ones of the
pulpit. If sermons are to be Judged by
their immediate and farreaching eff
fects, Peters sermon on PentecOst
is second to none. Moses preached from
Sinai; he created nation. Ezra
preached to thousands in the streets
of Jerusalem; he reformed a nation. l
have read that Thomas jefferson con-
sidered the sermon on the mount a di-
vine production. Its effects have been
farreaching, and they are yet untold,
but they were not immediate. Jesus
himself said to his disciples: Greater
things than these shall We do" The
sermon on Pentecost Immediately con-
verified 5000; it created new era; it
was the birth hour OF the Christian
church; its witness to Christ and the
resurrection could not be denied; it's
tongues of flame kindled divine
radiance in the ancient world, and a
new light and life in the whole world.
There are other reasons for IFS great
ness. 1t was crisis in history. The
old monarchies were dead or dying;
corruption was beginning the destruc-
ton of Rome; Jerusalem had but a few
years to remain; it was 1.-THE fullness of
time and Christ'S kingdom was begun"
Again, no great sermon can be built
OH trhes. Peter had great theme,
Christ's crucifction and resurrection, a
theme pregnant with human veal OF
woe for time and eternity.
Again, there was great preacher.
We call Peter fisherman. We forget
that he bad been three years in the
school of Christ. and that he became a
master of arts. Besides. the Holy
Spirit guided him. gave wings to his
words and fire to his feelings.
Again, it was great sermon because
Peter answered once for all the ques-
ton, What must do TO be saved? He
said, "Repent and be baptized, every
one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and We shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit"
