Presbyterians Say That Is All
Other Minister'S MEETINGS.

Presbyterians Say That Is All
Other Ministers Meetings.
Yesterday morning the Presbyterian
ministers took up the discussion of the
paper read by Rev. D. S. McCaslin q
week ago 5on the intermediate state.
The concensus of opinion was that the
churches have said more about the
intermediate state than was warranted
by revelation. They nearly all thought
that the souls of the good people go
straight to glory. and the souls of the
sinners to perdition. Rev. S. H. Beaver,
the representative of the Hennepin
County Bible society. told about the
scarcity of Bibles i'll Minneapolis. He
says he found twenty-one families in one
locality who had no Bibles. In the
Eighth ward he found twenty-eight fam
lilies unsupplied with the Word. He
even found one family that had never
heard of such book. The society sup
plies Bibles to those too poor to buy and
sells to others at cost. Rev. j. F. Stout
read a paper before the Methodists on
future punishment. He held that there
will he some sort of future punishment
as long as there is sin i'll the world, but
that the Methodists have never
preached, as all article of the creed, the
existence of material hell.
The Baptists listened to a report of
the big missionary meeting at Des
MONIES, To-, by Rev. G. A. Reese.

The play itself is familiar to theater-
gOers. as it is one of the few standard
company. Capt. NJ. Whelan essaysithe
leading role, and shows that he is no
stranger to the stage. Few people in
Minneapolis know that Capt. Wnelan is
an actor of considerable force in Irish
roles. He has been Oh the professional
stage and shows his training. He gives
a clear cut impersonation of the leading
character. The balance of the company
that he has gathered around him is eX-
cellent. The performance is given in
the name of charity and deserves pat
ronage. No one will be sorry for going
to see it. 1t is the best amateur theatri-

several years.

BIG DAMAGE CASE.
The Result of the Star Elevator
Collapse.

The largest damage suit instituted in
the district court for many months was
begun yesterday when ThomasJ .Thomp-
son filed a complaint against Charles
II. Ermentrout, in which he presents
claim for $4,000. Mr.. Thompson is the
owner of the feed mill that was smashed
by Ermentrout'S Star elevator annex on
Aug. II last. The feed mill was ada
cent to the elevator annex, and when the
latter collapsed the former was almost
completely destroyed. Mr.. Thomp-
son charges that the annex was care
lessly and negligentIy constructed and
was overloaded by Ermentrout. He
states that the feed mill, prior to the ac-
cident. was making net profit of about
$1,000 month. Since the accident Mr..
Thompson claims that he has lost $4,000
in six months, while he would have
cleared $4,000 had his mill not been de-
stroyed. This makes up $4,000 of his
claim against Ermentrout For loss on
machinery. tools and fixtures he claims
$4,000, and for loss of future profits
$4,000. The remaining $500 of the
claim, Mr.. Thompson says, is the sum
he expended in removing debris after
the accident.

STILL ANOTHER CHARGE.

Homer c. Potter Connected With
the Larceny of Violin.
Since the arrest of Homer c. Potter
in Albany for forgery, facts have come
to light which would seem to connect
him with another crime-the larceny of
Cremora violin valued at $1,000. 1t
appears that about July last bank
rupt French baron living at 81 Ann
street, Sault Ste. Marie, and who was
reduced to teaching music for a living,
and owned little but the violin in ques-
ton, was robbed of this one treasure.
Potter was at that time running
as express messenger on the
500 road, and when at the
500 stopped at the same boarding house
with the owner of the violin. He was
suspected of the theft, and through the
agency of the Minneapolis de-
tective department, was induced to Sc
cure the return of the instrument, al
though he denied having taking the
instrument. At that time the name of
the thief was not made public.

account of the robbery of the house of
George Hitchcock. Hitchcock received
note telling him to send his boy to the
West hotel with $50 and receive the
jewelry in return. The boy was sent.
and Detective Hoy accompanied him,
but the thief failed TO appear. Later
the boy said he met the thief in the

and received the jewelry. Now the po-
lice claim that the whole robbery, in

mother, Mrs. Hans Olson, of 1912 Cen

her arms, and on awaking found it dead
with its head entangled in the bed
clothing. The death was plainly an
accident and the result of suffocation,

WHAT BRAIN WILL DO,

The members of the class of

High School and "A host Of
other friends of Nc. Rob
ert Harris will be exceedingly
gratlfed to hear of his appoint
ment to an inStructOrshIp in
the Lincoln Normal Institute.
Jefferson City Missouri.
Daring his sojourn as pupil in
The High School he evinced a
strong liking for practical physics:
and bv applying himself assidaous
ly soon displayed a remarkable
adaptability for this study.
As a fit recognition OF bis merit
and capablity, Mr.. Harris was ap.
pointed assistant to Prof. 81. NJ.
Browne, Immediately after his grad
uation from the High School. In
this capacity he showed himself so
devoted to his work that he won for
himself the esteem and admiration
Of ali with whom he came in con-
tact.
The Lincoln Institute is splend>
edly endowed by the state and, by
advantage of its location amid en-
vironments of a very energetic
and progressive nature, bids fair
to become, at no distant date. a
very potent factor in the education
of the Negro race.
AS instructor of physics and
chemistry in this institution, Mr..
Harris will receive a salary of
$1,000; which is nearly thrice the
salary he now receives as assistant
in the High School.
This appointment reflects much
credit upon Prof. II. NJ, Browne to
whose well known ability as ply. |
slclst Mr.. Harris is greatly indebt- |
ed for his present proficiency.
