hours. can now be made in the three
hundredth part or second. Light will
thus catch motions o0Quick for the eye
to see, and photographs the legs of run
ming horses and wings of flying birds in
positions we had never suspected. 1t
pictures things not only too fleeing but
too faint to see, and photography is re-
vealing innumerable stars visible
through no telescope. 1t is now making
those star charts which astronomers
have so long been engaged upon, and
makes them far fuller and better. Prof.
Holden said he spent his spare time for
four years in studying and sketching
the nebula in Orion, but still better re-
suits had since been obtained in
photograph taken in forty minutes; and.
since he wrote, that nebula had been
photographed much better still.
And even more significant is the work
of light in the spectroScope. 1t is bring
ing that knowledge of the physical con-
stitution of distant worlds, which Comte
said was impossible, and makes the ele
ments of furthest stars write their sec
rets to us in surest lines. 1t even tells
by the displacement of these lines
whether q star is moving toward or
from US, and how fast; and does this IN
ali instant, although DR.. Higgins says
that star might have to move hundred
miles second fOr whole century be-
fore we should discover the movement
otherwise. By thus detecting motion,
the SpectrOsUOpe has been able to show
that supposed single star is composed
of two revolving around each other, al
though the two are fOrty-fOld nearer to-
gether than any telescope could show
nearer, in fact, than mans two eyes
would appear if he could be seen from q
distance of a thousand miles. And, by
thus showing the revolution of two stars
around their common center, the astron-
omer is able approximately TO measure
their orbits and weigh them by the mere
lever of light.
Does not this marvellous fidelity Of
light tend to give US more faith in the
universe and in its all-pervading Prcvi-
dence clothed with light as with gar
ment?" Does it not also give us more
faith in the spirit of man who has thus
mastered its secrets and enSlaved it?
The most intangible things are the
strongest. When airy steam draws the
ponderouS cars so much more swiftly
than horse his carriage; when more

more insubstantial light, without any
line, can so SurpaSS electricity, and tax
ing the stars for its stations, can work
such wonders iii photograph and spec

of, it seems to be telling us to trust the
insubStantial things in ourselves too,
and to put more faith in that inner

HAVE FOUND A HOME.
The New Press Club Rooms Will
BE in the Rochester Block.


The Minneapolis Press club had
meeting yesterday that amounted to
something. There was a good repre-
sentation present, and something was
done toward giving the club some
thing more than merely a name.
1t will have a local habitatiun
henceforth. The committee on rooms
reported several desirable locations.
The one tipally selected was a suite of
rooms in the Rochester block. The
club will, before the 1st of November.
have suite of six rooms on the second
floor of that block fitted up in comfort
able style, where the newspaper work
ers will enjoy some of the comforts of
home. to which most of them are total
strangers. The club will be Incorporated
this week. There is a trifle over Sl,1OO
in the treasury now. The members
the club hope to make it one of the rep
resentative public, or, rather, public
spirited, organizations of the city. Sew
eral prominent citizens have evinced an
interest in the club, and have expressed
a desire to become connected with it in
some manner. 1t is probable that some
system in the form Of associate men,
berships may be devised to accommo-
date them. The basis upon which the
club is organized is broad enough to ac-
c0mmodate any man who can be classed
as newspaper worker.
The club already has start Sin the
way Of furnishingsand decorating the
club rooms. TO the furniture now
owned by the club the Bintliff Manu-
featuring company has added two beau
tiful pictures elegantly framed, and j.
B. Hudson, the jeweler, has added a
handsome cloak.

who called the Roman Catholic church
mother, and its music hath charmed
multitudes who have passed over Jor-
dan in the light of faith by the way of
the cross. 1t has reared the noblest
houses of prayer ever piled by human
hands, churches fit to be the mansions
of heaven, and through them have sung
songs of praise worthy of angels. In
Rome all this is intertwined with the
the struggles which will last as long as
history is read, honesty loved or sin
scorned. Men will look at these views
of which speak now. which form the
brighter side of the church. which are
elements Of its strength, which have
been to weary souls as the shadow of
great rock in weary land, and as
covert from the storm. In the calm Sc
curity of this faith they have without
question lived, and without fear have
died. Holding, as l do, the faith that
right will win, since God is God, l am
prepared to look at the good in all sys-
tens. and to give credit for it, in the
sure faith that the faith as hold it has
nothing to fear. Bryant expresses my
thought:
Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
Error bruised, writhes in pain,
And dies amidst her Worshipers,'

Beloved Friends: For sixteen years this
association has been laboring in your midst

the public for aid.
But the time has now come when we feel
IT our duty to make known our present ne
cessity, and ask your aid. The large build
ing which we own and occupy through the
generosity of one of our large-hearted citi-
Zens is full and crowded with inmates the
year around. We do very well through the
summer, by various devices, but when winter
comes, our doors are closed and steam heat
turned on, the children begin to be sick in
spite of Our best endeavors at cleanliness and
ventilation. We are satisfied this is due to the
presence. in the basement, OF the laundry
and the winters supply of vegetables. The
broad open stairway carries the basement air
over the whole house, and it is easy to see
that both laundry and vegetables should be
removed, especially as our kitchen and din

therefore, and have already begun, to con-
struct an addition to our present building

will cost about 81. 800.
We earnestly entreat all friends of the
work TO signify their appreciation of our
efforts IN this field OF Christian reform, by
sending us such donations or subscriptions
as will insure the immediate completion of
this most necessary addition without adding
the burden of debt TO our already heavy
cares. Gifts large or small will be most
thankfully received and may be in lumber

believe this Christian city will allow us to
ask twice for this aid. but will make our
hearts glad by prompt and liberal response.

SIGNIFICANCE OF LIGHT.
Rev. II. NJ. Simmons Applies Its
Teachings to Religions.

Rev. II. NJ. Simmons preached on
The Significance of Light" yesterday
morning, reviewing DIR. Higgins late
address before the British association
on recent astronomical progress. In the
sermon he said:
Light, though the most insubstantial
thing known, is one of the most real
and powerful. 1t moves with a speed
that would encircle the earth seven
times in second. II paints the forests
and meadows and does so much to pro-
duce them that not a grass blade
or green leaf can unfold with
out 1t. 1t literally brings to
our eyes the pictures of every
thing on earth, and faithfully brings
those OF consultations and clusters
across the universe. 1t not only MAKES
these transient pictures in our eyes, but
permanent ones on plate or paper, To
day light is our universal artist, sketch
ing everybody and everything more &C
curately than pencil can, and incon-
ceivably quicker. The picture which
Daguerre said could be taken in three

SOCIETY AND CRIME.
DIR. Sample Discourses on This
Interesting Tonic.


Interesting Topic.
At the peoples meeting il Century
Music hall last evening, DR.. S. W. Sam
pie spoke on the subject, Society and
Crime" By way of preface he eX-
planned that this topic was so expansive
that it would be impossible to treat it
adequately in a single discourse, but he
would endeavor to plow in certain cor
ners of the field.
He then explained the significance of
the words ''sOciety" and "crime." BY
society he did not mean that collection
of butterflies who follow the leadership
IF Ward McAllister, or those whose
names appear in any blue book. He
meant the people at large. Those who
help to make up the everyday world.
The word "crime," he said, had two
meanings. First->the legal definition,
which. in short, is ''such conduct as is
prohibited by law" and then the
broader meaning, which includes all
cordance with or in violation of law or
the operation of law itself.
He then proceeded to explain that he
did not believe I'm sentimentality in
dealing with the criminal, in making
him hero so to speak; that he did not
believe in saving him pain, If it was the
pain of the surgeons knife, but we
must remember that he belongs to the
same human family as ourselves. He
argued that crime is the barometer of
the civilization of which it is a part
and Is product of certain social condl-
lions, and that society III its treatment
of crime is largely responsible for
crime.
"Those states," he said. (which have
vengeful punishments have also venge-
full crimes. Vengeance begets venge-
ance. You may rest assured that
wherever there is lynching there will
be people to lynch"
He then proceeded to condemn capital
punishment in the strongest terms, char
acteriZing it as murder, and dwelling
with great force upon the point that the
strongest safeguard of any community
is the sentiment of sanctity of human
life. He said that while he felt no SEN
timentality toward the murderer. and
would not have him made hero of and
made much of by the w. G. L. u. and
Y. NJ. c. A., he would no sooner be the
Sheriff who drol ped the trap or oper-
ated the electric chair than he would go
out on the highway ana stab fellow
being with knife.
He argued strongly in favor Of the
adjustment OF the pardonlng power. of
the lease or contract system in prison
labor and of determinated sentences,
and advocated a plan of provisional
release and the reform of the prisoner
as the proper solution of the prison
problem.
Next Sunday evening will be devoted
to continuation of the same topic. and
in making this announcement DR.. Sam
pie stated that he would, at that time,
treat of the causes of crime and also of
| the crimes from which society suffers

NEW ARMY RULES.
Officers Must Hereafter Be Ex-
amined for Promotion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The president
has prescribed set of rules which have
been promulgated by the secretary of
war, providing for system of examina-
ton TO determine the fitness for promo
ten of all officers of the army below
the grade of major. When congress
passed the act of Oct. l, 1890, providing
for such examinations, it went into
effect Immediately, and in order to adj
just the scheme to men who had
made no preparation for the exam
nations, the requirements were some
what limited. The act has now been
in operation one year, and 1t is
deemed proper to make the eXamina-
tons more searching and to establish a
much higher order of requirements as a
condition of promotion. To that end
the new rules have been prescribed, but
in order that injustice shall not be done
and that all officers shall be afforded
time to prepare for the ordeal, the rules
will not be applied until Jan. 1, 1898.
