tors. The petition of Hidden praying for a

A sPUNKY oRGANIsT.
She Refuses to Play Other Than at
the Regular Church Services.

The members of Bethany Congregational
church are divided as to what really consti
ltutes the duties of the church organist. The
performer is lady whose friends assert has
too frequently been called upon to take part
lin the musical exercises of the church, that
is to say, in accordance with the terms of her
contract with it, The organist has engaged
TO play only at the regular Sunday services,
but she has been continually called upon, 1t
is presumed without extra remuner-
alton, to act in her official capacity
on extra occasions. A branch of the
Y. P. S. C. E. held q meeting last Sunday
evening in the session room of the church.
There was quite a large attendance of the
church members and visitors. The organist
was called upon to furnish music for the
hymnals, but fatty refused to do so. She
said it was an imposition, and refused to
play. The leader expostulated, and the au-
dience was at once divided into factions.
After much persuasion the young lady was
induced to play. but this she did, il is said,
in such thunderous tones that the vocal
part of the exercises were not at all heard.
The affair has been made the topic of much
discussion. Bethany church was dedicated
last fall, and is situated at the corner of
Twenty-sixth avenue northeast and Taylor
street.

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Harlow Gale Has Selected a Site
for Market.

for Market.
The new year has already brought forth a
wonderful work. Harlow Gale has selected
a site for central market!
Yesterday Harlow announced that he had
secured site which would be acceptable
alike to the city and to the gardeners. An
option on the Camp Walker property,
known as block of Hoag & Bells addition,
as squared by the Seventh street extension,
is now held by Mr.. Gale, and if he is success
full in raising the money for the important
undertaking the solution of Minneapolis
long standing market problem is at hand.
This site is the old circus ground, compris-
ing the entire block at the northwest end of
the base bail park, on Third avenue north,
between Sixth and Seventh streets. The
former street has been vacated, and in the
spring, or as soon as the Great Northern and
St Louis tracks are lowered, bridge is TO be
thrown across Seventh street into North Min
neapolis When that is done the street rail-
way company proposes to run an electric rail
way over the bridge to connect with the Sixth
avenue north line at one end and the Henne-
pin avenue line at the other. With this ad-
mirable connection the site cannot fail to be
very advantageous one Nine-tenths of the
market produce comes from the north and
west of Minneapolis-from Brooklyn, Rich
land and st. Louis Park. The only complaint

MILLERS' ASSOCIATION.
Semi-Annual Report of the Secre.
tary-Increase of Membership.


In his seml-annual report. Secretary Barry,
of the Miliers' National association, says
there has been an increase of membership of
thirty -four, representing daily mill capacity

from the smaller millers. The association
now represents daily capacity of 10000
barrels. Concerning the various patent suits
now pending, the report says:
'Patent matters seem to be peaceful. This
is undoubtedly due largely to the existence
of our organization and the knowledge on
the part of owners of bogus and invalid pat
ent claims that they cannot pursue an
aggressive policy, against millers, unmo-
