THE SAYFORD SERIES
Growing in Interest---A Personal
Invitation Canvass"

The largest audience of the series of
special meetings greeted Mr.. Sayford
last night at the Hpuse of Hope church.
The movement is spreading throughout
the city. More than one-thlrd of the
people were not attendants at this
church. The Bible reading in the aft
ernoon was also well attended. There
was an increase of about One-half.
After the Bible reading, in response
to an Impromptu invitation, about fifty
people remained. The plans were made
and districts assigned for visiting each
family in the city to extend an.invitation
to the services. The best members of
the church will extend this hospitality
to each individual of the city at large.
The Bible reading was upon prayer. 1t
was different from Mouday-nOt being
from any particular chapters, but was a
composition of many selections. One
of the noticeable features of Mr.. Say
ford'S methods is his great variety. He
has not conducted any two of the SER
vices thus far in the same way, nor has
he repeated himself once in his matter.
This is remarkable for an eXtemporane-
Gus speaker.
In the evening service Mr.. Sayford
read Psalm xxi. with great impress
Slveness. He reads the Bible as one
who believes what he is reading and
wants others to do the same This is
special feature in the services, and the
stiffness shows the appreciation of the
audience. The psalm was the basis of
his address. He said that it was a series
of steps.
Conviction, confession, prayer. forgive
ness, protection, guidance, joy over this

but In the large audience could not be
counted.
Mr.. Sayford's conservatism was
shown by his remark that he wished
that more men would remain out of the
church because they thought they could
not join and commit their bad practices.
But he added, Christ can enable you
to purify your lives" The services
continue at p. III. and 7:45 p. NJ. to-day.

FOYER AND FOOTLIGHTS.

A beautifully roundedup piece of dramatic
work was the presentation Of "Othello' last
evening at the Metropolitan opera house Mr.
MacLeans impersonation of the Moor was a
finished piece of work, while Marie Pres
colts difficult role of Iago was supeIbly rem
dered. To-day the usual Wednesday matinee
will be given, with 'Ingomar'' as the bill, and
the engagement will close might
Hallen and Hart are doing good business
at the Grand and driving the doctors out of

pain-destroying fun of these comedians.
George Thatcher's minstrels will be the at
traction at the Metropolitan opera house for
three nights and Saturday matinee, COM
mencing Thursday evening. He has got to-
ether forty of the best minstrel artists of the
day. and will present a new and novel min
strel programme. He has played to phenom-
enal business in all the large Eastern cities

drunken railroad men in the Shades
saloon, on East Seventh street. The
proprietor of the place, desiring to close
the establishment, requested the men to
leave, but they refused. Police Officer
Haney was called in and told the
men to leave, when, in an in
Stant, nine men Sprang upon
him. He defended himself with
his club for few moments, when one
OF the gang struck him cowardly blow
on the back of the head with pair of
STEEL knuckles, rendering him almost
lnsensible. The mob then dispersed,
but the police officer followed two
of the ruffians, and, with the aid
OF Sergeant Pottgeiser, arrested
them at the ST. Denis hotel,
on Minnesota street. They were sent
to police headquarters, where, from pa
pers in their possession, their names
were found to be Robert Hoy and w.
Gould, both railroad men, the latter be-
ing an engineer on the Kansas City
road. The police will endeavor to find
the man who used the brass knuckles,
and the whole gang will undoubtedly
receive the full limit of punishment al
lowed by law.

ACoRREspoNDENT REBUKED

Those statesmen who are so fond of
constructing laws to mulct in damages
the newspaper that may, innocently or
maliciously, publish that which is un-
true and defamatory, would accomplish
mere good and serve better purpose if
they would direct their talents toward
the enactment of law that would suit
ably and swiftly mete out condign
punishment to the correspondent or re-
porter who, either maliciouSly or care
lessly, furnishes to any newspaper mat
ter which is false and defamatory.
Upon such either unreliable or wanton
correspondent or reporter may be
charged large proportion OF the libels
which find their way to light through
the columns of the daily press. When a
correspondent once imposes upon a
newspaper, the punishment should
alight upon him; if lie is permitted twice
to do so, then the newspaper is at fault,
and should suffer. The GLOBE speaks
warmly upon the matter, for it has been
the victim of just such an unscrupuIous
and wanton correspondent. On the Goth
instant, far into the night, the GLOBE
received from its correspondent at Spo-
kane Falls a sensational story, the sub
stance of which was that the wife of F.
j. ZEEHANDELSON had been discovered
by him ma compromising situation with
one f. s. Brown; that the husband had
promptly kicked the man down stairs
and driven his wife after him: that
divorce suit would at once be instituted.
The telegram was received late, as
stated, and there was neither time nor
method for its yerfcation: so, relying
upon the faith of its correspondent, the
story was printed
Upon the receipt of the paper in Spo-
kane Falls. Mr.. ZEEHANDELSoN imme-
diately wrote vigorous denial, ,couched
in just such language as could come
only from a man defending his own rep
utation and his wife's honor. He says
there was not a particle of foundation
TOR the story, and that even the name of
BROWN is a fictitious one, manufactured
for the occasion. The letter concludes
with denunciation of the correspond
ent, which, severe as it is, falls far
short of expressing the degradation to
which man has sunk who would COM
nit such an outrage. The trust ex-
posed by a newspaper in a distant
corr espondent is a sacred one, and the
power with which it clothes him is a
dangerous prerogative. None but an
migrate would violate the one-none but
a villain could take advantage of the
other. In this case it appears the cor
respondent has done both. The GLOBE
declines all responsibility for the malice
of his act. strikes him from the list of
its correspondents and exposes him
publicly to the scorn Of all who know
him.

THE MILFORD HOUSE.

The GLOBE bespeaks the public in
terest in the lecture of Prof. De GUER-
VILE to be given tomorrow evening
at the Harris theater, on The Paris EX-
position and Some Suggestions for the
Worlds Fair" The lecturer comes
with good credentials, and has the
reputation of being able to supply his
hearers with pleasant and instructive
evenings entertainment. His subject
is timely, and, if presented according to
the promised programme, will afford
our people a basis for understanding
and appreciating the scope ard plan of
international eXpositionS. Such an
equipment will add interest for those
who have it to The newspaper ac-
counts which Will from this time be
more or less full of what is dong in
Chicago, and will help in the general
enjoyment of the fair itself when it is
finally opened.
The beneficiary of the lecture will be
the Milford House. and it is hoped
that the patronage will be great enough
to net handsome sum for use by this
institution. The theater and the regu-
lar preliminary arrangements have
been had without any expense, and,
after the lecturer has been paid, the
total amount received will go to that
worthy charity. The Milford House is
the popular name of a corporation
which aims TO supply a living place for
women where they can secure comfort
able accommodations at figure within
their means. They pay for what they
get, and secure i'll this way the advan-
tages of independence, but the margin
of profit and the interest on the invest
ment, which would be eXacted in an
ordinary boarding house, are eliminated
here, and the price charged is based on
! actual cost. Such an arrangement is,
! of course, not a safe one from financial
standpoint. because it does not afford
any place for the inevitable occasional
losses which attend such enterprises.
To meet these, popular contributions in
one shape OIL another are needed. A
| good many people give something each
year for this object and occasionally
| public entertainments are undertaken
for the fund. These have, without eX-
ception, been successful heretofore,
both because they have been of a char
acter which compelled interest, and be-
| cause the Milford House has commended
itself in its aims and methods TO the
Endorsement of the best people in the
community. Time has not lessened its
claims, and the GLOBE predicts large
audience on this present occasion when
it asks the help of its friends.

but in Mississippi, and perhaps one or
two other states of that section, if not
made an essential part of the creed,
it has looked so large that it has made
trouble. In Mississippi those who
looked upon it as visionary and danger
ons are reported to have seeded from
the organization, taking nearly one-half
of the members. 1t has not passed the
ordeal Of any state alliance, i'll the
Northwest, with possibly hasty ex-
ception or two. A scheme of that sort
may have small support among the con-
servative and thoughtful farmers, but
sonorous minority often creates a
false impression. Those who are so
alert to see signs of dissention and de-
moralization in the Alliance movement
are likely to be in error in discovering
them as the result of this vast scheme.

BY NAME. NOT MERIT,

The discouraging statement is made
that few of the articles sent to the lead
ing magazines are published. Out of
$1,000 sent to lady's journal but 497
were accepted. Readers of most of the
magazines may wonder on what princi-
pie selections were made. 1t is not i'm
probable that the anti-lottery law is
often violated in spirit, if not in letter.
Articles of the larger merit have small
chance if the name of the writer is un-
known. A name is trademark. One
that has become accepted as represent
ing successful literary goods can pull
through the veriest shoddy. For in
stance, BILL NYE. He used to write
articles that had genuine fun in them.
Of late it is rare that one over that
name will not cause the sensible reader
to wonder how he ever saw anything in
them that was worth reading. But it
will take people generally long time

THAT EAsT-BoUND CUT.
The Eastern Agent OF the Cana.
dian Pacific Interviewed.

dian Pacific Interviewed.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Edward V.
Skinner, general Eastern agent of the
Canadian Pacific, who, a few days ago,
announced the new tariff of freight rates
over the West Shore, Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg, Canadian Pacific
and 500 Line to st. Paul. said to-day that
meeting of the Trunk Line associa-
ton would be held at the office in Lib
erty street, this city, Thursday, to con-
slider the matter of the new West Shore
rate, and intimated that if a ''miS-
take'' had been made it might be
corrected. Mr.. Skinner said he had
telegraphed to the Canadian Pacific
officers in Montreal asking them to be
present at this meeting. Other railroad
men to-day thought that the Ontario &
Western would make strong protest
against the rate. A rate war was freely
talked of among railroad agents to-day.
They think the Canadian Pacific
West Shore tariff is upheld by
the Vanderbilts, and much trouble
is anticipated. President James j.
Hill, of the Great Northern, whose lake
and rail rate of s1.01 is not near as ad-
vantageous to shippers as the West
Shore rate of S1.07, because of insur-
ance to be added, is expected to make a
reduction that will surprise the Cana
dian Pacific people. if the new West
Shore tariff is upheld.

ATWINE SHORTAGE.
Dealers Think Binding Twine
Will Be Scarce.

Binding twine dealers throughout the
Northwest are looking forward to a
great increase in the price of twine.
The prospect of heavy crop and in
creased acreage has already stirred up
the animals and the evidence of at
temptS to corner the market is already
easily dScernable. The National
COrdage Co., better known as the twine
trust, has the only large stock on hand,
and is now waiting to see how the crops
progress before increasing its prices.
Had it not been for the fact that for
several years hardly more than so per
cent of the binding twine consumption
took place, the market would have been
connered some time ago. Aside from
the trust Mccormick 81 Co., w. A.
Wood & Co., and Deering & Co., are
the only companies which have manu-
factured twine. These firms have all a
heavy trade, but tight squeeze is
anticipated. The total binding twine
consumption of the country IS estimated
at about 90, 600 tons. The trust is said
to now have $4,000 tons in Chicago ready
to work from.

FURIOUS FOREST FIRE.
Timber Flames Threaten Several
New Jersey Towns.

MILLvILLE, N. j., April 2S.-The big
gest forest fire that this section has
known for years is raging about six
miles southwest of this city, and much
valuable standing timber has been de-
stroyed. The fire started from an
engine near Dividing Creek station yes
= >terday. and has burned a swath about
six miles long and four miles wide so
far. 1t was supposed to be under con-
troll last night, but broke out afresh this
morning and is still burning fiercely.
Tonight the fire is within three miles of
Mauricetown. The little hamlet of
Baileytown is completely surrounded
by the fire, and some anxiety is felt for
its safety. The brisk winds prevailing
to-day have famed the flames, and
columns of smoke ascending high in the
heavens can be plainly seen i'll this city.
The damage can not be estimated at
this time.

GREEKS VS.. JEWS.
They Have Very Serious Encoun-
ter in Corfu.

LONDON, April 2S.-Dispatches from
Corfu give the particulars of serious
outbreak of the Greeks against the jew
ish inhabitants. The Greeks recently
spread report that the Jews had mur-
dered a Christian girl for the feast of
the passover. The report was based
upon the discovery of a child's body
i'll the Jewish quarter, though the
body was soon identified as that of
the daughter of a leading Jew.
The Jews, In their turn, declared
that the Greeks had murdered the child
as an excuse for rioting and plunder.
The excitement over the murder finally
became so great that 5000 Jews were
compelled to close their shops, and the
government had to put military cor
don around the Jewish quarter. In spite
of the Gordon, however, murderous
crowd of Greeks broke into the Jewish
quarter and built bonfire in the square,
in which they declared the Jews should
be burned, but before the rioters could
carry out their intentions they were
attacked and dispersed bya detachment
OF troops. though not before many Jews
had been terribly beaten and injured.

A PASSING BLUNDER.

One of the evidences of disintegration
and decadence seen by some opponents
of the Alliance movement is in the fact
becoming apparent that a blunder was
perpetrated in the Ocala conference in
putting the sub-treasury scheme at the
front. Reference is not had to the prln-
ciple involved. The blunder in view
was in presenting measure so extreme
that it must lead to dissension and di-
vision in the movement. This has not
met the approval Of the cooler heads In
the North to such an extent as it seemed
TO have possessed the more impulsive
SOuthrons. 1t has not been made test
in any general part of the movement,

At the meeting of the Minnesota Con-

lively little tilt between brethren of the
cloth. Rev. Herbert Macy, OF Merriam

work, declared that work is being over
done in some localities and missionary
money wasted. Rev. j. II. Morley,
state superintendent of the Home Mis-
sionary society, and G. W. Hackett, of
st. Paul, chairman of the board of
directors, replied sharply. In court

IN MEMORIAM.

William G. Fralich, telegraph editor ST.

But yesterday across the wires sped
A mournful message, saying BOB IS dead;"
And yet those simple words conveyed a dart
That pierced a rent in many an aching heart
And many sigh spoke louder words among
Those loyal friends than ever came from
tongue.
And thus, they say, his life work now dis
closed,
Faithful he was to every trust imposed;
And prized he more, while fulsome praise he
scorned,
The mead that flows from duty well per-
formed.
Gifted with talents rarely found in men,
D!ction most polished graced his facile pen.
Modest in manner. mild in speech and tone,
He bore life's burden silent and alone.
Strong in his friendship kindly true and

Don't Like the Dump.

Aid. Hunter, of the Sixth ward, does
not approve of the proposed dump at
the mouth of the Fourth street sewer.
He claims that if all the night soil is to
be dumped at this point the four-inch
stream of water which it is proposed to
turn in will not answer to carry the
material out into deep water. The re-
suit, he says, will be that the night soil
will only be carried part way out to-
ward the center of the river. and during
the dry season the water Will fall so low
as to leave the stuff exposed, and thus
create terrible stencil. LIE thinks the
only feasible plan is to build a trestle

Fellows in their demonstration Monday was
very creditable. These mutual societies
among workingmen do more to strengthen
the government as it exists to-day than any
thing else. Imagine the distress and suffer
ing that would be existent but for this mutu-
al protection among the working classes
The distress would have to be relieved, and
ii is, therefore, plain to be seen that these
societies in that way, help to keep down the
growing burden OF taxation.
