By Rev. MeSsrs Sohnuler of E,kton. and
Weir # VI tsseys, after which Bishop
Adams preached an eloquent aud appro-
pirate sermon, which was followed by
the presentation of the class by Rev. DIR.
Irvine for confirmation. Such a scene is
seldom witnessed, persons from youth
to hoary old age evinced a desire to
enter into the service of the Master.
The solemnity of the occasion was truly
impressive. The music by the choir was
solemn and worshipful, and solo by
Mrs. Irvine vas peculiarly impressive.
Altogether it WIS an evening spent in
the service OF the Master which will long
be remembered by those who were for
tuuate enough to be present. De- Irvine
deserves great credit for his earnest and
zsalous work in this parish Y.

WELL KNOWN IN CHICAGO.
Berkman Was IA Very Eccentric In
diyidual,


CHICAGO, July 20.-Berkman, or
Count Orlowitz," as printers all over
the country know him, was a "sub"
on the Herald for n short time during
the summer of 1899. lie was not only
n mystery, but was also the laughing
stock of the craft. especially the mem
bers of it employed by the Herald.
His odd sayings and curious plumbers
were told and retold wherever COM
positors copgregated. One story Of
the counts eccentricities will never
Vie, and printers have RECALLED many a
group of reminiscent typos with it,
hot only in Chicago but in eastern
cities.
1t SO happened one hot night in 90
that 1.-THE Count Orlowitz" was given a
BET of extra cases. About midnight
the foreman had occasion to ask,
What gentleman is fixing up that
pied ball scorer" At the time tho fore
nan was at the end of the room
farthest from BerkInan. But Berls-
man yielding to hat unconquerable
uesire to talk, which everywhere made
him conspicuous, Immediately replied:
Il dou't know, sir; | cawn't see from
here. II am not speaking to YOU"
said the foreman "Well, I'm talking
to you, see?' replied Berkman.
Another popularity, and tho one
that brought about his discharge from
the office, occurred one night after
the Herald boys had won n hot game
OF ball from some other of the city
newspaper mines. lie was put on
about 0 o'clock by the pitcher, who
had just set sc vcral good-sized takes"
The pitcher was all ball play that
night and made errors in his compost
ton. However, the 2. 900 or more ems
set were ample remuneration for the
subs pains in correcting them, but
this Berkman declared to be a rank
injustice.
'l'm a printer" he went on mot a
blooming blacksmith" and he refused
to make the corrections. which he
claimed was a direct departure from
all recognized rules The more he
looked at tho proofs the aagrier he
became. and finally he seized his coat,
collar and necktie and darted from the
Office in a terrible rage lie never
came back again. The ominous warn
ing somehow got to his ears that the
foreman was waiting for him when.
ever he might come looking for work
or pastime. The fellow always had
money, however, and would lend ID
freely-that is, IL the borrower showed
any inclination OF engaging his
services.

CANADA WILL BACK DOWN
Preparing the Way to Yield on the CUES
ton of Canal Tolls.

preparing lhe way 10 lleid on the oues'
ton of Canal Tolls.
MONTREAL, July 3O.-The vigorous
Ietaliation measures adopted by the
United States in regard to Canada
hare had their effect and the Canadian
government is already considering the
best means of backing out of the diff
Guilty gracefully. A reporter was in
formed by a high authority who is iu
the confidence of Sir John Abbott,
premier. of the dominion, that the gov.
eminent has practically decided, in
view of the grave consequences that
might follow for Canada If the retalia
ton policy was put into effect to abol'
ish the rebate system and make a uni.
form toll without regard to routes, Oh
do away altogether with tolls. Pre-.
mier Abbott will return from his vaca.
ton in a few days, when a meeting OF
the cabinet will be held at Ottawa and
the whole subject discussed.
The government organs are already
preparing the way for the govern
mept's back down. The Montreal
Gazette, n of the leading gov arm
ment organ which Is edited by r
L. White, n prominent conservative
member of the Canadian parliament,
in what is evidently an inspired ar
ticle, admits the justice of the United
States contentious. 1t says;
1--WE must, however, be prepared tn
be done by as we do, and it is not al
all certain that the Americans have
gone further as yet in their legislation
than to apply to traffic through the
Sanlt nnnaI thu cu,nn r1la 10 NADIA N ~
plies TO traffic through the Welland
canal. All vessels, whether American
or british, carrying cargo through
the Sault canal to q Canadian port
will be required to pay toll, but
all vessels, whether American
or British, carrying cargo through the
SauIt to an American port, will be ex.
empt from toll. There is equality OF
treatment, in the opinion of congress,
l. the sense the Canadian government
has interpreted article 81, and it is moi
an easy matter to gainsay the conten.
ton"
The Gazette adds: "The remark Il,
sometimes made that when the cana
on the Canadian side of the Sault IL
completed we will be able metaphor
ically to snap our fingers at the United
States 1t is to be feared this antict
patton cannot be realized, for If the
Americans are determined to strike al
Canada and damage her commerce il
every possible way a means will read
lily enough be found to infict injury
If not at the Sault, If not at the lake
marine, then at the railways whose
traffic is largely derived from the
United States"

Warehouse Site Complaints.

MITCHELL, 5. d., July 80. Railroad
Commissioner W.. NJ Smith, OF Plank
inton, while en- route home today re-
ported that since their meeting in
Sioux Falls last Tuesday, the board of
railroad commissioners have been
throughout the state visiting the fol.
lowing place, viz: Lake Preston, Mad
ison. Brookings, Bruce. WATERFOWL,
Henry, Doland, Verdon. Aberdeen and
Woonsockct, Investigating the COM
plants made relative to the location
of warehouse sites. The commission.
ers found that in the most of the cases
the complaints were we'll founded and
in such cases recommended locations
in favor of the applicants, while sew
eral cases have been taken under con-
s~ideration. 1t is the opinion OF the
members of the board that the appli-
cauts for warehouse locations on the
railroads in the north part of the state
will be more numerous than for years
on account of the mammoth wheat
crop about TO be harvested, and they
believe hat it will be almost impossi-
BILE 10 harvest the crop unless there is
n large influx of laborers from other
states. Commissioner Smith reported
the condition of wheat around the
places visited as being the finest for
wears.

Proving His Identity.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind
hearted man as well AS a great novel;
list. While he vas consul at Liverpool
a young Yankee walked into his office.
The boy had left home TO seek his fort
tune, but evidently hadn't found it vet.
although he had crossed the sea In his
search. Homesick, ~friendless, nearly
penniless, he wanted a passage home.
The clerk said Mr.. Hawthorne could
not be seen, and intimated that the boy
was no American, but was trying TO
steal a passage.
The boy stuck TO his point, and tho
clerk at last went 10 the little room and
said to Mr.. Hawthorne:
Here's a boy insists upon seeing
you. He says he's In American, butt
know he isn't"
Hawthorne came out of the room and
looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face
OF the boy,
You want a passage TO America
And you say you're an American"
Yes, sir"
Prom what part OF American"
United States, sir.
What State?"
New Hampshire, SIR
TOWN."
Exeter, sir"
Hawthorne looked at him O minute
before asking the next question.
Who sold the best apples in your
town"
"Skim-milk Folsom, sir" said tho
boy with ~glistcning eyes, as the old
familiar byword brought up the dear
old scenes of home.
ITS all right said Hawthorne to
the clerk, give him a passage"

CHARGES PREFERRED.
Chancellor Creighton VIII he Tried by q
Church Committed.

Shurch SoLiHhlttee.
LINCOLN, July 3o.-Charges have
been filed with the presiding elder of
he district against Chancellor Creigh.
.on Of Wesleyan university. Just what
he case is. as made up by tho chan
.ellor's opponents, can only be guessed
At as tho presiding elder will not
make public the contents of the
charges.
Notice of the preferment of charges
nas not been served on Chancellor
Creighton. Under the rules of the
church governing trials. the presiding
elder selects "a committee, which, with
himself presiding, constitutes the
court.
The chancellor, IL is said, will not
consent to submit this east to such II
court, but will claim Thar the presid-
ing elder is biased aud the case of
Creighton cannot be fairly tried by
him and his committee.
Charges have been preferred against
DR. Greene by j. ). V. Dean, of
Seward. Greene in a newspa CIR
interview took sides with the
chancellor and the statements
made therein Dean claims are un.
true. AS Greene is a lay member of
the University Place church, his trial
will be before the pastor of that
church. The trial Is set for August S.
Rumors of other charges and church
trials are flying through the air out in
that college suburb and ifhalf of them
materialize, the good people will not
get through in time for the opening
Of the fall term of the university.

A NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.
The Curious Find OF "a Farmer I'm the GRAY
off Wild Goose.

The Curious Find of "a Farmer I'm the Craw
ola Wild Goose.
Puget Sound Mail: q. w. Coplcno,
OF Lath. is this year ~tenderly nursing
n couple Of stalks of wheat which have
a curious history. In the fall of 1890 a
wild goose killed in one of tho islands
near the Straits Of Fuca was found to
contain seeds resembling wheat. These
were planted and grew profusely, Mr..
Copleno securing two sample grains
where it had grown at Nelson, British
Columbia. The grains arc nearly
twice the length of ordinary wheat,
shaped somethi e like q grain of rye
but lot much thicker. The two grains
terminated quickly, sent up thirty
blades and are growing well. 1t Is
hoped that this will prove a valuable
variety. 1t would seem that the bird
from which the original grains were
taken must have found the plant in
the remote north, and IL no grain Is
found now cultivated in the known
world like this still further color will
be given to the supposition that there
Is o polar sea with vegetable life on its
shore.
