Fourth and Washington streets, discoursed
yesterday morning upon the text:
Luke xyii:14-'Go Show Thyself to the
Priests
His subject was the indifference Of peo-
pie to religion or their lack Of religious
conviction Some of the causes, he said,
were indifference, pride. false science,
business, pleasure. These were the ex-
cuses generally given, and Father Prefon-
tame elaborated upon each cause and
closed his discourse with an admonition
TO those who were laboring under these
causes to go to the priests and have them
removed

causes of our helplessness are MANY. II
was uttered 700 years before His coming:
yet when He came He was pressed by all
phases OF human frailties. The blind.
iepers. incurables of all kinds and de-
PRAYED nature in all of its horrid deformi-
ties were brought to Christ. The response
was quick, the result sure and He was ever
ready to lend helping hand to suffering
humanity and TO cause the heart to beat
with JOY that had been ever burdened with
misery.
The text also sets forth Christ's teach
ines and his religion, and through it the
wants OF today are supplied. People are
Intoierant, but religion reaches out in all
parts. The blessed word comes to all in
promise. He is not seen now as he was,
yet the power and beni6cence are far
greater.
compare civilized and uncivilized ma
tons. See how in Christ's time the de-
formed and diseased were seen and met at
every turn. So in pagan lands today.
The same conditions are found in Japan
and China. How different in America
and her sister Christian countrie.i Aims
houses, asylums of all kinds, orphanages,
hospitals, infrmaries afford safe refuge
Tor these poor unfortunates. Science, inf
deity, philosophy did not accomplish
these, but all is due to the religion, which
is the same now as it was when Christ per-
formed the functions Of these institutions
Abolish these and their inmates would
flood the public places as they do now in
pagan lands, and as they did so long ago.
The monuments to such men as Grant
and Lincoln are indeed grand. but the
rrrA
the greatest and grandest of all.
Inc spirit Is so deeply imbedded
amongst the people that today there can
be no such a thing as a want without
quick and complete relief. The terrible
plague OF yellow fever depopulated South
ern cities few years ago; cruel war had
but short time previous desolated many
homes, destroyed millions of property
and strong animosities still existed. Yet
from all quarters the North responded to
the wants caused by this terrible calamity
with munificence and generosity that
commanded the admiration of the world.
In proportion to its capacity the South
responded in the same way after the
Johnstown horror. This was the spirit of
the Divine Master. Christ is working by
and through His people today.
The prophet proclaims that Christ
would care for man. With the universities
and Affections that He had to contend
with any one would have been discouraged
and abandoned it as a hopeless task, but
the prophecy of so long ago was fulfilled.
There was no such thing as fail. Success
crowned all efforts. His death was sue
cess, for 1t gave life. The nations of the
earth are uniting. Japan, China, India
all are throwing off the shackles. The day
is coming when there will be no darkest
Africa. Christ's hand is reaching out"

NOTES FROM THE TRADES.

Ironmolders report trade much better now
than it has been at any time during the summer.
There are but few molders in the city at present,
but nearly ell those here are working. The
union held Q meeting Saturday night and de-
cided to turn out in the parade Labor day.
There are only about one-third as many brick
layers here now as there were year ago. The
trade is not especially active, but most of those
here now are fairly we'll employed. Quite a
number OF jobs are running, but the crews are
small.
Those working at the other building trades
carpenters, painters, plumbers, stonemasons,
plasterers, hodcarriers and COMMENTATORS re-
port work fair, but auctuating at times, SO that
more or less time is lost
Stonecutters are nearly all employed, but
there are very few OF them in the city, the
greater part of them having left to seek work
elsewhere.
The Carpenters Union held an open meeting
Thursday night to conclude arrangement. for

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Meeting to Discuss Various Questions Of
Public Policy.

Meeting to Discuss Various Questions OF
Public Policy.
A meeting of the Peoples party was
held yesterday afternoon at the knights
of Labor hall, in the Kline-Rosenberg
block. About thirty persons were present,
and fully half of them pointed out, in
short speeches, what they thought were
existing evils of government and the man.
ner in which they might be remedied.
Mr.. Henry Crawford said that national
prosperity would never be assured until
the power of trusts and corporations was
broken and they were compelled to pay q
fair days wages for fair days work.
Hugh Thompson, of Spokane, and James
Kenworthy spoke Of the Farmers ALI
ance and its relation to the Peoples
party.
Mr.. Kenworthy said that he hoped
the proposition to bond the city of Seattle
would be successful. He wanted the city
to borrow all the money from Eastern
capitalists that it possibly could and then
repudiate the bonds. This view Of the
matter was not concurred in by others
present, and H. 8. Ling spoke very en-
phatically against the proposition, and
said that he hoped every one present
would vote against the bonds.
Mrs. James Kenworthy said that men
had been voting ever since she could re-
member. and had not bettered the state
of affairs. Now she believed that the
women should be given chance to vote.
She thought that there was some hope for
the young men, as they could correct the
evil by their vote, but for those that had
been voting for the past twenty years she
felt the greatest contempt, and told them
that their time to reform was past.
She continued: "You talk about voting.
You make great deal of noise about this
new Peoples party. hope it will sue
coed. but don't believe it will. I am
afraid that the representatives elected by
your party would act just as dishonesty
as the others have done. Things will
always be as they are now until Edward
Bellamy's plans are carried otit to the let

The speaker concluded by telling of her
interview with the wives of the miners at
Franklin, saying that she had shed many
tears over their unfortunate condition.
Other short addresses were made and
the meeting adjourned after the chairman
had expressed his opinion that the new
Peoples party would elect the next presi-

SOURCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Glaciers Claim of Its Discovery Ex
ploded by Exploration.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 15.-State Park Commits
sioner J. V. Brewer has submitted to Gov
ernor Merriam special report upon the
Itasca lake basin, which contains some
hitherto unpublished facts in regard to
the source of the Mississippi river
and effectually explodes Glaciers claim
to the title of discoverer of the headwaters
of the great river. The report shows con-
clusively that the true source of the Mis-
sissippi river is in great reservoir nine
miles above Lake Itasca, making the
longest surface channel of the
Mississippi river from the
Gulf of Mexico d, to the
extreme limit of this reservoir, 2,525
miles. The first surface dowage in this
great reservoir is tiny brook connecting
with Whipple lake to Floating Moss lake,
thence to Nicollet Upper lake, while 800
feet west of it the channel again appears
in continuous surface tiowage to Itasca
lake.

pirate to the occasion. The Gloria, from
Mozart, was particularly grand, and the

also superb. The violinIsts in the orches-
