A Great University Scheme.

''The American University and Chris
tian Education" were the prevailing
themes at the mass meeting of Methodists
at Exposition hall, at Omaha, Neb. Not
withstanding the forbiddng weather there
was an audience of over 25, 900 people
present and they sat out the entire pro-
gram that lasted two and three quarter
hours. All the addresses were with ref
erence to the proposed great university at

are not 10 be thrown open until an endow-
ment fund of So, 900. 900 has been secured.
The nature of the scheme was set forth by
Bishop Hurst, who presided. Rev. DR..
Moulton, the English delegate, was called
for by the audience and responded ex-
pressing approval of the magnificent
scheme and faith in its contamination. 1t
was announced that several subscriptions
had already been promised, Mrs. McCabe
taking the large share of $1,000. Another
sum across the water is only waiting for

LOSS, NEARLY 100000.
lUM6ERl PLANT, DESTROYED BY
FIRE NEAR LUDINGTON.


Nearly the entire plant of But
tors 81 Peters big salt and lum-
Der company near Ludington has
been wiped out by fire with
loss of nearly $500, 900. The fire was
discovered at noon in the large saw
mill of the company. This plant was
outside the protection of the city wa
terworls, but had a system of its own
that cost $4,000. The fire soon Grip
Piled the pumps so they were useless
and it was quickly seen that the mill
was doomed. The salt works were
saved after catching fire several times
The wind blew the flames on to the
company's general store and Offices
and they were totally destroyed, to-
gether with the merchandise and sew
eral dwellings. Horace Buffers, presi-
de mt of the company, was seen last
evening but could give no list of insur-
ence. He said the loss would reach
S175, 900 with insurance of 100000 or
$40, 600. The fire will throw 800 men
out of employment Mr.. Buffers says
the mill will be rebuilt at once but on
smaller scale, as they have only
three years cut of standing pine.

The Pope Objects.

New York dispatch: Archbishop
Corrigan has received cable
dispatch from Rome saying: "Fair-
ibault system condemned Special
case reserved" This means that the
cause which Arch bishop Ireland cham
pioned and whose Advancement was one
of the objects of his journey to Rome is
put under the ban by the pope. The
so-called Faribault system is one which
removes all insignia of religion from
parochial schools and renders the
course of instruction entirely secular
until the end of the regular exercises,
when the Catholic children remain for
religious instruction, while the Protes-
tanIs go away. This syetem originated
in the Catholic parochial school of
Farlbault, MINI, which was put I'M
der the direction of the village school
board, its expenses being betrayed by
the village on the above conditions.
Archbishop Ireland liked the plan and
proposed to extend it TO other places
in his arch diocese. The decision pro-
hibits this general introduction of the
system, while permitting the plan to
be practised in special instances w here
it may be deemed expedient.

ing some damage to oats, but
being beneficial to wheat, grass and
pastures. Fruit prospects are reported
excellent Seeding and planting for
corn have been delayed. In st. Joseph
county sc me plowed ground was
washed out by rain.
Central counties-Througho the
central portion of this tier the weather
seems to have been favora BILE in all re-
spects, and consequently all crops have
made sound and rapid growth, but
in the east and west counties the rains
delayed all outdoor work and did some
damage to oats. Wheat and grass are
doing splendidly, and fruit prospects
are fine except in Oceana county, where
cut worms are doing some damage to
peach trees.
Northern counties-In this section
the temperature still remains below
the normal. This has had the effect
of retarding the growth of vegetation
and crops, and warm weather is sadly
needed. The rainfall has not been too
heavy for outside work, and blowing
has progressed rapidly.
For the state: While heavy rain has
fallen generally in all sections of the
state, its eject has been to improve the
condition Of grasses, wheat and oats
on sandy soil. Flowing for corn and
other small grains had to be suspended
and all outdoor teamwork remained at
standstill except in Emmett county,
where the farmers were preparing the
ground all the week. In some LOCALE
ties in the central and southern coun-
ties the low lands were. under water.
Warm sunshine is needed to dry out

NEGROES WILL USE BOMBS.
Hon. Fred. Douglass Says Serious
Trouble Nay Occur Down south.

Frederick Douglas, the colored ex-min-

Chicago, and in an interview he said:
''Outrages upon the negroes OF the south
must cease, or as sure as night
follows day there will be an insurrection.
Anarchists have not a monopoly OF bomb
making, and the negro will learn to handle
the terrible engine Of destruction unless
his wrongs are stopped. It is damnable
and outrageous evidence Of outlawry and
disregard Of justice and human rights that
we should hear every day that some black
man has been lynched in tho south. 1t
is not true" he continued, ''that colored
men are ravishers of women and children,
and certainly If negro is guilty what pos
sibility Is there of his escape from Justice
II he Is given lawful trial? The prosecu-
ton considers him guilty before the trial
and he must defend himself in the face Of
all the prejudice and passion manifested
against him. A negro on trial for his life
in the south is believed to be guilty from
the start, and judges and prosecutors pro-
coed at all times upon this theory"

the season, although in some lines dull and
depressed. Money is everywhere abundant,
In part because the demand is smaller than
usual, but this is I'm q measure due to the
unusual conservatism OF the trade, buyers
making many small purchases instead OF
larger purchases and waiting more care
