THE GOVERNORS TALK.
GOV: Merriam made brief address In
bright. entertaining style. He was
proud to be present at the opening of
the Grand avenue electric line, for he
believed the occasion marked the most
gigantic strides in the Industrial history
not only of Minnesota, but of
w SoVs tiO
OF the great American whose
birthday was thus tittingly celebrated,
marvellous change had come over the
country. The opening of the Grand
avenue line was in his opinion but
sign. precursor, of the greatness that
was to come for this great state. The
people of Minnesota had shown in the
past that they were the most enterpris-
ing people the world had ever seen.
They were just attaining the higher
aims of higher civilization. and the flu
ture lay bright and promising before
them. None could foretell the con-
ditlon of the Midway district twenty
years hence, but if he was on earth
at that time he expected to
see spreading lawns and pala-
tai residences where now were
the virgin tracts and signs bearing the
legend. For SALE" In closing the gov
ernor said:
IL should neglect a very agreeable
duty should fail to say word of praise
to these two gentlemen, Archbishop
Ireland and MIR. Cochran, who are en-
titled to the highest respect. Let this
spirit OF progress ever move on"

birthday of George Washington. How
much we owe to the ODD of February,
100 years ago. We owe to it the liberty
of cur country and the wondrous pros
perity of this country, which depends
upon its liberty. The 22d of February,
1890, will he for st. Paul and Minnesota
a historic date. The electric motor is
here. 1t has triumphed over all difficult
ties. Soon will it speed over all the
thOroughfares of st. Paul, carrying our
people to the fresh air and health of
territorial area of our city. widening
also its hopes and prospects.
1t will shoot out across the Mississippi
INTO the heart of our neighbOring city,
binding it to US by iron bands and the
fervent ties of stronger friendship.
Electricity! We hail thee. Mysteri-
Gus power, unknown to our fathers, the
harblnger of new world. No discovery
made by man is as pregnant of
wondrous results as that of this invisible
fluid. AS yet we have barely glanced
at it. We know but few of its laws. We
can use but few of its powers. 1t brooks
no undue and reckless familiarity. Be-
fore it we are awe-stricken. and our
souls, our eyes, in silence worship the
great master of all things. Who
but the omnipotent and all wise
scattered through earth and air this
mysterious fluid, submitting it to
laws that guard it from disrupting all
nature. and which. as they are unknown
to US, make it benefcent to man. An
Edison is genius because he discovers
few of these laws. Was there no SUI
preme intelligence in shaping them?
Would he trust to chance in dealing
with batteries and charged wires? Is it
chance that governs and serves the
world?
Referring to the source from which
the electrical power to be used in trans
porting, lighting and manufacturing in
the Twin Cities is to come, the arch
bishop pointed to the river which lay. a
frozen field at his feet. and remarked
that the Mississippi would soon be
damned, and to one spot would be gath
cred its mighty power. Then" said
the archbishop, sat the moment that
THIS MIGHTY PROJECT
has been accomplished, electricity will
be ours" On be. alf of the promoters of
the enterprise the speaker thanked the
st. Paul City Railway company, its
president, Col. Lowry, and its manager
and Superintendent, Col. Burr and MIR.

through, in fact for having male the

patiently awaiting the signal that should

track stood twelve cars in couples.
1t became evident that these would be

There are thousands of people in st.

the arrival of mild weather with pop

their kind feeling to the weather dis.

Mrs Mary Stilson.

This community was surprised on re-
ceiving intelligence, last week Thursday,
of the death of Mrs Mary Stilson, which
occurred on Wednesday morning, No
vember 8, 1890, at her home in Ansonia
She has been gradually failing in health
for six months, which finally terminated
in Bright's disease. Mrs Mary, widow
Of Edwin Stilson, was an old resident OF
Sandy Hook and lived where st Johns
church stands. The late William Glover
bought the property and, 26 years ago
this Fall, she moved to Ansonia with her
family, bought desirable property and
has since lived in comfortable circum-
stances. Her only remaining son,
Charles. has been successful in business,
is now wealthy man and, what is still
better, person OF good habits, respect
ed by all. A few of her early friends in
Sandy Hook remember some Of her trials
in caring for and maintaining Two blind
and always with such hope full,
cheerful spirit that she was marvel TO
many. Few will miss her visits more vim
Sandy Hook than the family of II. L..
Wheeler, for, during the past 26 years,
she has never failed to make ali annual
visit and, often, twice Il year has she joy
fully remembered them BY her cheerful
presence. Her funeral was largely at
tended from her residence in Ansonia on
Friday morning, November Z and the re-
mains brought to the cemetery in Sandy
Hook by the side of her husband and
three children, Rev Mr. Linsley OF Trini-
ty, Newtown, officiating at the grave,
Her friend, Mrs Parsons, passed away
just two days after and the same pail

remains of both to their last resting
place.

DIR Alfred Il. Pierson, one of the most
noted Of preachers of the age and one of
the strongest promoters Of missionary
interest, being in fact an editor of the
Missionary Review of the World, pub
lished in New York, Is said to be capa-
BILE of standing the most fatigue and
turning off the most work of any man of
the times. Coupled with this is a knowl-
edge of modern missions and spiritual
power which enables him to captivate
and carry with him the immense audi
ences that gather to hear him wherever
he goes, In a recent address, he said,
ssThe way we are able TO trace the prog
ress of civilized life in "A Karen is this :
Some day, he comes to the mission and
purchases calico shirt worth 6 or Sc.
The next day, he comes and purchases a
hat for or &c. A few days later, he in
vests In a pair of white duck pants, worth
Toe and then he must have a three-legged
stool to sit on, as he can no longer sit on
the ground, because, il he did, he would
soil his new trousers" And we could
not help thinking that, after all, the Ka-
rens were not much different from some
Photographers. They go around from
store to store, seeking for the best as
,sortment of boots and shoes. At last, af-
ter investing considerable money in mo
account trash" they come to the store
of II. N. Ayres and there find the flowers
of footwear that cannot fail to please
even such critical citizens as they have
become In their travels. Mr. Ayres has
laid in a stock, this Fall, that would
make Karen purchase two stools, one

them, they are SO nice.
