beatty of religion, such as ours, is but
the fringe. fine music and dec
orations being of no value if
the religion itself lacks the
solid substance of u true religion. All
religion has beautiful side to its ma
ture, even the birth of Christ itself be-
ing beautiiied by the coming of the
Holy Spirit. There is danger also of
thinking that salvation is for the learned
only. Tbs cannot be so, from the fact
that no two lives are exactly alike. nor
which they take advantage of their OPP
pOrtunit:es. Christ came into this world
for the Jews and the Gentiles. for the
learned and the ignorant. He came
into this world to break down the
walls that separated races. but how
often do we see the nations of to-
day living at enmity with each other
and holding alOof on account of differ
ence In nationality or color. How often.
even In America. which we are so fond
Of calling the land of the free and the
home OF the brave, do we hear the say
ing that America is for her own citi-
Zens. But we cannot expect to break
down all these deep-seated prejudices
at once, nor should we finch when
trials or troubles comes, for human nat
ure is weak and has not the courage of
is own convictions. But has there been
no progress MADE? But few centuries
ago. when Rome was the most civil
lied nation on the globe, the mobiles at
the least whim could order the death OF
their servants, so little was human life
cared for. We need no more encourage
ment to work on faithfully than the
state of RIGHTEOUSNESS which reigned
supreme but few years ago and the
state of this present age. The work OF
the people of the church of Christ is
a work of self-sacrltice and self-denial.
Let each one do that which is in accord
ance with his ability, and he shall not
fail of his reward

Over One Hundred Coopers Dis
cuss Their Grievances.
4 meeting Of The co0pers was held at
Labor Temple yesterday afternoon to
discuss the ways and means of imprOv-
ing their condition, and over one hun
dred of the "barrel FOUNDERS put in
their appearance. 4 temporary chair
man being elected, each member who
wished was given chance to express
his views upon the condition of the
coopers of this city and the best manner
in which they could improve their STU
alton. it was evident to all that unit
ed action of some kind must be taken.
The main difficulty which pre-
scented itself was the fact
that many were somewhat afraid of any
decided action. However, the coOpers
were in most hopeful condition at the
conclusion of the meeting, and it seemed
to be the general opinion that there's
a good time coming" 1t was decided.
after some discussion, TO hold a formal
meeting next Tuesday night, when
something definite will be done. All
the coopers of the city who can possibly
attend are requested TO do so, over 300
being expected.

nesota League.


An Important meeting OF the Mime
sofa Eight-Hour league was held in the
Labor Temple yesterday. Delegates
representing Minneapolis, st. Paul, Red
Wing, Duluth, Winona and Saltwater
were present, and it was resolved to es-
tablish a fund to put speakers in the
field to push the movement to
the fullest extent throughout the
state. The delegates were Instructed
to have their organizations in
readiness for the inauguration
of the eight-hour system, which will go
into effect on May l, 1890. The reports
made by the representatives of the va
TiOus organizations in different parts of
the state show that the proposed move
ment had met with the hearty sympathy
of the men employed in all branches
of the trades, and that many
of the employees had expressed
their desire TO cooperate with their
men in iesSening the hours of labor. By
resolution, Feb. p was set aside for the
holding OF mass meetings all over the
state in favor of the movement.
Vice President Appehagen, of the
American Federation of Labor, who was
present at the meeting, said that on
May the system would go into effect,
and all the workingmcn and women
who are identified with labor organiZa-
tons, would drop their tools. and start
for home after working eight hours.

Ii is curious to observe how many of
our most popular songs have owed their
origin to the merest chance. This was
the case with Nancy Lee" 1t was
written by Frederick E. Weatherley, at
Oxford, because pupil failed to keep
an appointment. II wrote the song in
an hour" said the author. 1.-The idea
of the piece came suddenly TO me while
] was wondering why my pupil did not
come, and the whole thing was written
off there and them"
Mr.. Weatberley, who is one of the
most successful writer's of verse set to
music, says that the ideas for his songs
come at the most unexpected moments.
1t is while walking along the Strand. OF
IN some crowded thoroughfare, that most
ideas come: but be adds that scarcely
any of his songs indicate the circum-
stances under which they were written.
His nautical songs were composed far
from the sea, and his rural ones miles
from the country. Above all things he
must feel happy. His most melancholy
dirges were composed when he was in
the best Of spirits.
MY Pretty Jane" one of the most
profitable songs to publishers ever writ
ten, originated as follows: Mr.. Fitz-
ball. the author, while lad, was in the
habit of walking up one of the pretty
walled lanes of Burwell. picturesque
village near Newmarket. to look after
his fathers land. Near one of these lanes
resided farmer whose only daughter
Jane was occasionally to be seen by
E1tzball peering over very clean and
pretty blind. only her nose, eyes, fore
head, ears and hair visible, all of which
were of surprising loveliness. Some
times she would nod to him with artless
simplicity as he passed, and this so in
famed his heart that the result was

his fathers fields just "when the bloom

consumption while still young, but be-
fore her death Mr. FitZball had painted
her likeness. and the portrait is now in
the possession of his daughter
"Some Day." one of Milton Wellings'
most successful songs, was written
under very painful circumstances. His
wife was out yachting with friends, and
it was rumOred that the vessel had met
with an accident. He telegraphed sew
eral times to COwes, Isle of Wight,

by chance picked up the words of
''Some Day" aad he was so struck by
the line "Or are you dead, or do you
live?' that the melody flashed through
his mind at once. The same writer's
well-known song, at was many a year
ago." was composed when he had lost
his only child but one week.

Burns while riding on horseback over a

life is sometimes called life Of self
denial, but that scarlet thread runs
through all life. The only question for
US is what we shall deny ourselves. 1t
is better TO lose with Socrates than to
gain with those who condemned him to
death; better TO fail with Christ than to
succeed with PLATE. Make the best of
what remains after the losses. Every
rung on the ladder of progress is
reached by the withdrawal of the foot
from the one on which ii rested before.
The wisdom Of a child of God con-
sists in practicing what Arthur Clough
calls the SJoic-Epicurean philosophy.
Make the most of opportunities. Do the
best possible with remainders. Gather
up the fragments. Don't be Stole,
wholly; yet little Stoicism is neces-
sary. Combine the best of the Stole and
Epicurean PHILOSOPHERS. Some men
make more out of the remainders, the
whole cloth. Remember that, in the
valuable as well as the piles Of glitter
ing gold. We are like the Persian beg
gar who went about begging with
precious stone Sewed in his garment, of
which he was ignorant. Men who have
the least may get the most out of life by
the possession of a finer spirit.
"When the support upon which you
have leaned collapsps, let duty bear you
up; and when creeds have gone from
you, hold to Christ. if not to the histori-
cal Christ, to the ideal Christ. If you
have lost faith in The Bible, hold to
faith IN Nature. If you have lost faith
in future life, make the most of this.
Read the divine works of nature and
you read the divine heart. If you have
discarded preachers, hold to the philos-
ophers and scientists. If troubled by
disbeliefs. make the most of what you
do believe.
Sometimes the remainder exceeds
the whole sum before anything was
taken away. The kernel without the

was removed the kernel was worthless.
A diamond in the rough is made more
valuable by cutting. DON'T measure
mans belief by the length of his creed.
Subtract the total depravity clause from
a creed and there is more
creed left. We learn truth by pene-
trating cloud of illusions.
At MONDAY we admire the bright sun
i'll the heavens. Night comes OH, and
our sun has disappeared, but soon the
stars peep forth, millions of them, and
with the telescope we see that they are
all suns. Often our stars are with us
throughout the glorious day. but we
recognize them not. 1t might be posi-
bic to fill a church by sensationalism,
but few whole-hearted Christians are
better than many half-hearted ones. A
host is not an army. 4 multitude is
not always power"

MINNEAPOLIS.
CURRENT COMMENT.

1t Is refreshing 10 listen to such
preacher as Rev. 5. w. Sample. There
are few preachers in the city who start
right and hew as closely 10 The line in
a sermon as he does. He does not
a1fllct his congregation with long
homily on the merits Of his own
church. Neither does he. like certain
other eYpounders of the gospel, enter
tain his hearers with a volume
of abuse and diatribe against
He is man and a Christian. He
breaches manhood and Christianity;
not the Christianity which envelops
Itself IN cloak impervious to all adj
VanceS from any one who does not fully
recognize his creed. but the Christianity
which hold out helping hand TO every
one, be he Christian, pagan, agnostic or
infidel, without respect 10 creed or be-
lief. Were there more preachers
like him the world would be better.
Judge Smith will again begin to-day
grinding out the grist of dirt called the
Moore divorce case, which just now
clogs the district court. The question
as to whether the plaintiff will secure
decree in her favor is one on which
there are different opinions. Many are
Of the belief that she will be unable 10
prove sufficiently the allegations upon
which divorces are granted in Min
neSota. Others think that she
should have a divorce on general
principles. OF course Moore's guilt or
innocence OF the charges made against
him are not yet proven. Should the
court decide his way he will find plenty
of sympathizers who will say that he
has been shamefully used by Il
rich man and faithless wife.
Should he lose his case. there
are not wanting those who would be in
favor of forcibly Kidding the town of
his presence. Either way, the case
proves one thing there is good
deal of rottenness in the world. The
Moore ease is not the only one, although
all parallel instances are not aired in
the courts.

OPPOSED To CREMATION.
The Council viii Further Amend
the Fire Escape Law.


The terrible lesson the Tribune fire
taught Minneapolis about the necessity
of iire-escapes on all high buildings has
not gone UNDECIDED and the building in
gpector'S Office has been busiIy engaged
In enforcing the law relative TO their
erection. In many of the buildings
which were already supplied with es-
capeS the inspectors found the ladders
could only be reached through rooms or
offices, the doors of which were likely
TO be locked just at the very moment
the escape would be most needed. This
was true of The Tribune binding, and
while it was also true of the city hall.
the committee Of the council having
charge OF the building, have at last form
ulated plan which may at some
future time save the life of some human
being. On both ends of the city hall
there are the regulation Standpipe fire
escapes, but these can only be reached
through one Of the Offices. Signs have
been put in the Railways showing where
the escapes are located, and at the door
of the Office leading to the escape an
axe Is placed within easy reach, 50 that
if the door is locked it can be broken
open. The plan Of having an axe in all
the Railways of the large buildings has
met with almost unanimous favor
among the councilmen, and the ordi-
nance will probably be amended at the
next meeting requiring one 10 be placed

DR.. Foude has given the greatest
satisfaction to the congregation, and
it is sincerely hoped that he will
decide to accept. He will leave
to-day for his home and there is little
doubt that he will decide to return. DR..
Faude expresses himselfas well pleased
with Minneapolis and Minneapolis peo-

would be well suited with the work in
the Gethsemane parish. DR.. Faude is
highly thought of in Michigan City,

him to remain there. The Gethsemane
parish hopes that he will see fit to re-
fuse all other offers.

large and appreciate audience present,
and the programme, which was made
up chiefly of request numbers, was en-
Enthusiastically received. During the
week the stage had been extended
eight feet to the front, and this
gave the orchestra more room and
brought it out more from under the
prOScenium arch, also an improvement.
All of the numbers were eXcallently
rendered. but the Funeral March of a
Marionette," by Gounod, was the first
TO win an encore, which was responded
70 with '']-iOn du Bali for string Or
chestra. This last, too, had to be re-
peated. A harp solo, by Paul Kruger,
was an exceptionally well-rendered
number, and brought recall, as did
Little Grandmother" by Iange, for
string orchestra. Fritz Schlacters cello
solo also made hit.
