To the Review of Reviews for Octo-
Der Mr., Stead, the English editor, con-
tributes of his raciest character sketch
es, this time dealing with Mr.. Gladstone's
new Cabinet in a bunch, so to speak,
rather than with some single parsonage.
The article throws many bright side
light on contemporary English politics
and hits off in Mr.. Stead's fearless and
always felicitious manner the twenty or
more men who now lead the Liberal
English hosts. Mr.. Shaw, the American
editor of the Review of Reviews, writes
OF two great Americans, Whittier and
George William Curtis, the article con-
tanning not only recent portraits of these
two eminent men, but also very inter-
esting pictures of them as they appeared
forty years ago. The early portrait Ut
Curtis is from painting by Lawrence,
and the trontispiece of this number of
the Review of Reviews represents Mr..
Curtis as in the Easy Chair" his con-
tributions from which have delighted
American rea iers for several decades.
&C. W. Lawson preached his farewell
sermon in the Methodist church last Sun
day evening. During the three years he
has been pastor of the church here, he
has won placein the hearts of all, both
in his own congregation and those of
other denominations. The following
figures will he read with INTEREST by LIS
members of his congregation and all
others interested in church work. Dur
ing the past three years about $500 in
debtedness on the church, parsonage
and all other incurred expenses have been
paid. By profession OF 90 have been re-
ceived into the church; by letter 81 and
baptism 70. Rev. Lawson has conduc-
ted 80 weddings during his stay here
Al funerals.
r. r. Odell OF Minneapolis, a rene
gade Republican, who is emphasizing the
fact that he cannot give his allegiance to
the policy of protection of American in
dustries-although he did so two years
ago-addressed the faithful of the Demo-
cratic club on Monday evening. He
says that recent trip to Europe con-
verified him to free trade. He must be
anxious to see American labor elevated
to the high standard which prevails
abroad-where wages are less than half
what they are here, and. where the sole
aim of thousands of laborers is to get
money enough ahead to pay their fares
to this country.
BRO. Barnum of the Avalanche, is
making himself famous for the unpleas-
ant method which he takes-through
the columns of his sheet-of writing up
the business mems sorrows upon the
departure Of their wives upon visits. If
our married men are sorrowful upon
such occasions, they don't care to have
their grief paraded in such a manner as
to reach the eyes and ears of people all
over this section Of country. come of,
