SUNDAYS OUTING,
Largest Crowd OF the Year, Ex-
Cept July 4, at Lake Harriet.


cept July 4, at Lake Harriet.
Lake Harriet was yesterday the most
popular place in Hennepin county. TO
say it was delightful spot only half
expresses it. The day was perfect. 1t
was cool enough for comfort, and the
breezeS freighted with the evaporation
of the lake were most refreshing. The
enchanting music of GIlmore's band
gave the place much the likeness of
falryland.
The. crowd that cOngregated there
from the cities was perhaps the largest
of the year, excluding the Fourth.
Probably five thousand people were to-
gether during the afternoon, and others
constantly coming and going. After
the concert they proceeded to amuSe
themselves in various ways. Some en-
gagged boats, and were soon seen pulling

boats were in good demand. Others
more venturesome spent the afternoon

der. The merry-gO-round came in for
its full share of patronage. Many
people are always moving in
circle and others are often
pleased to doso, especially when strad-
ding giraffe or a river horse. The
iquieter soft of people sat about the
pavilion talking, or wandered off along
the shores OF the lake. AT lunch time
few people left for home. but patron
lied i'll large measure the restaurants
and cafes. Many small parties were also
found seated under the trees and enjoy
ing basket suppers, while the ice cream
girl had her hands full in attending to
the wants of the crowd. AT Z o'clock
the crowds began to increase, despite
the threatening clouds hanging over
head, and the evening was spent i'll
pure enjoyment. The only thing lack
ing at Harriet lake yesterday was a
couple of tirst-claSs sermons.
The interest in the Gilmore band
seems to be on the increase, for every
number was encOured, and the encores
encored again in some cases. The crack
number was the descriptive fantasia,

for Gilmore a year ago when he was
getting ready for his Chicago engage

attempt to escape. The rope around
his ankle has always been sufficient to
keep him within bounds, and while the
wild boy would tug at his rope just as
any dumb brute would do he has never
had the intelligence to unite his fasten-
ing.
When united and turned out in the
pasture with the cattle tie boy affects
all of their traits. He jumps about in
the field like frisky lamb, drinks water
out of the creek and eats grass. He
developed his liking for grass and roots
several years ago, and seems to prefer
such food to carefully prepared meal
in his fathers dining room.
The boys parents are very poor and
have been unable to do anything to
assist the unfortunate lad, so they have
allowed him to grow up in the green
fields with the live stock. By reason
of his pecularities the boy has been
called the Wild Boy of Livermore for
the past ten years, and the little children
have the most AFFECT fear of him.
When loose he will climb fences and
chase them down the road, but he has
never been known to harm any of them.
When he catches them he looks them
over curiously and seems to regard them
with simple interest.

THE WORST OF EVILS.
REV H. H. FRENCH DeV0TES A SER
MON TO DIVORCE.
ITS ASTOUNDING PREVALENCE.

Decentralization of Children CauS-
es the Evil to Increase With
Each Generation-He Takes a
Passing Shot at Dakota Df-
vorceS.
DIR. II. II. French, of the Wesley
Methodist church, is UP in arms these
days against the more fragrant evils OF
society. His sermon last evening was,
Scenes and Follies of the Divorce
Court" 1t had been advertised Oh the
plan of the theater, and all day long
there had leaned up against the church
a!bulletin board, on which was posted
fiaring bill with divorce" in big red
letters at the top, followed by the an
nouncement that it would be the topic
Tor the evening sermon. Said he:
THE state is made up of families, and
the family depends upon the marriage
tie. Consequently. for the permanence
and highest welfare of the state, mar
riage ought to be permanent. The
prevalence of the divorce in this coun-
try is becoming simply astounding"
Statistics were then given, covering
period of 20 years in this country,
which showed that the evil is far more
widespread than was ever suspected by
most of his hearers. The number APP
plying for divorce was stated as only a
third greater than the number actually
obtained. DR.. French continued:
1.-The danger resulting from this con-
dition of affairs is too apparent. 1t is
augmented by the fact that three
fourths of the divorces granted are to
couples having children, and the de-
moralization of the children follows.
Thus the evil increases with each gen
GRAFTON. Dissoluteness is the direct re-
suit of divorces. and history shows the
results Of loose living. In Rome,
at the zenith of her power,
the institution of divorce was
practically unknown. AS divorce be-
came common In the time of the empire,
the morals of the nation began to wane,
and the overthrow of the nation rapidly
followed. Take France. The year pre-
ceding the Reign of Terror there were
10000 divorces. These may be taken as
all index of what is bound to happen in

prevail. And as TO a remedy, shall
suggest what seems to me best. First
of all we need national law regulating
divorces, which shall establish a uni
versal system, and which will bring it
about that the marriages of New York
and Massachusetts shall not be
annulled in South Dakota. Next.
a thorough system of education is
needed by pulpit, press and other Or
CARNATIONS. which shall direct attention
to the magnitude of the evil and help
remove it. In this. as IN other matters.
prevention is better than cure. The
country is still suffering from the effects
of free lovism campaign which was at
its height about twenty-five years ago.
Polygamy has also added to the evil.
The national divorce league, of which
DR.. Dixie is president. is going to prove
great work in the line of reform.
After education must come personal
purity, ana in time the evil, which is
now greatly on the increase, will beef
fectually checked.
DR.. French will consider the Power
of the Press" next week, when he will
take occasion to give his views on the
Sunday paper.

THE SPRING OF TEARS.
Written for the Globe. ]

Written for the Globe.
Failing tears are not unmanly
When from sorrows spring they flow,
When mothers heart is stricken,
When her aged head bends low;
Bitter is the moan of anguish
For that sacred soul in grief:
The reckless spirit contrite, broken,
Can in tears but lind relief
Man of the world no longer,
Servant to its stern decree,
Bot back i'll courts so long a stranger,
Suppliant at his mothers knee:
Gone are thoughts of worldly triumph.
Buried in the grave of Woe
Where no rays of lingering sunlight
Can last day CLEAN mid its somber shad-
ows throw.
Often when we think her failing.
That her step has feeble grown,
Mothers heart is only breaking
From neglect which is our own:
When too late we see the danger,
Bitter are those sudden tears,
Passionate are those acts repentant
To bind her wound and calm her fears.

A WILD BOY.
He Eats Grass and in Other WAYS
Lives Like an Animal.

he Eats Grass and In Other WAYS
Lives Like an Animal.
San Francisco Examiner
The town OF Livermore has wild
boy who eats grass and lives Oh roots
and herbs and does all sorts of strange
things.
For years the wild boy has lived on
his fathers pastures, and has been as
contented as any ordinary mortal would
be in well-furnished and comfortable
home. The unfortunate lad has a name
ard home, but he does not regard
either as much as any rational being
would. He prefers to frisk around in
his fathers grain field and chase the
frightened children of the nelghbor-
hood down the country roads.
John Worth is the wild boys name,
and he is about Is years old. His father
is Harrison Worth, who lives Oh little
track of ground few miles out of
LivermOre. The boy has been a terror
to the nelghbOrs for long time. Ever
since his birth he has been all imbecile
and all attempts to teach him even the
rudiments of understanding have been
but dismal failures.
The wild boy knows absolutely moth
ing, and is as much at home out in the
open fields as he is at his fathers hearth
side. Recently he has been terrorizing
the nelghbors of the Worth ranch to
such an extent that he was arrested to-
day on the complaint of Farmer Clark,
who considers him dangerous to be at
large. His sanity was investigated by
the lunacy commission the other day,
but the doctors decided that the green
fields and the hills that surrounded
LtvermOre valley were better places
for him than an insane asylum would
be, so he was sent home on the after
noon train in custody of his father, who
has promised TO take better care of
him in the future.
The boys father had been in the
habit of Excepting his son at home by
tying him to stake, just as the cattle
are treated, and he never makes anv

TO DOWN FAKIRs.
Newspaper Men Will Adopt a
Special Badge of Office.


A movement is on foot among the
various papers of the city to secure a
uniform and official system for the is
Suance of reporters badges in order
that the taking and swindling
carried on by irresponsible parties, who
claim to be representatives of the
press, may be stopped. This taking is
being carried on to a measure surpriS-
ing to even the police and the manage
ment of the papers. There are instances
reported almost daily in which some
person who has never been connected
with a city paper has secured admis-
sion to places of amusement or been
rendered the courtesies of the hotels
ana the lake resorts simply upon
verbally claiming to be a reporter.
These cases are many times of an eX-
ceedingly aggravating nature. The
prOprietors of the different places who
are thus asked by the fakirs for favors,
are placed i'll embarrassing positions.
They do not know every reporter in the
city, and Ofttimes can not refuse TO eX-
tend the courtesies for fear the alleged
reporter has full authority. Many of
the swindiers have had cards printed
with their names in one corner and
the title or one or another
OF the .city dallies i'll the other
In nearly all of the larger cities the
reporters badge is issued under the au-
thority of the police department, and
reporter is protected from these fakirs
in this way. The badge is numbered,
and, as all are of the same design, they
can not be counterfeited without be-
traying the fact, as nc two of the genu-
Inc have the same number. When the
police officials issue the badge
they vest the reporter with the
privilege of riding on fire appa-
ratus,in patrol wagons, and give
them the power of special policemen.
In the pursuance of their vocations the
reporters ale often placed in positions
where this authority and the privileges
1t brings greatly aid in the search for
fresh and reliable news, and at the
same time prevents the faker from
claiming courtesies which do not belong
to HIM. The Introduction of such
system, it is thought, would not only be
a help to the reporter. but it would aid
the public and the police in recognizing
the genuine from the alleged reporter.

NO TROUBLE.
Every One Continues to Use the

Transfer Depot.
So far as it affected the throngs of
well-dressed people that f1ocked in and
out of the central transfer depot on
Hennepin avenue yesterday, the reso-
luton offered by AID. Long at the coun-
Gil meeting Friday night might as well
have been intepded for regulation of af-
fairs in Patagonia. Aside from the extra
rush that always comes with Sunday,
matters at the transfer depot
were as quiet as could be i'm
agined. During the afternoon
great crowds of pleasure-seekers
rushed from the cars to the transfer
station, where gray-coated official
handed out admission checks, and a
constant stream of humanity flowed
into one door and out of the other.
Meantime fat and good-natured DO
iceman paced his beat, as usual, with
no thought of council resolutions, aside
from those providing for the payment of
his monthly allowance, and the people
in their Sundays O-to-meeting clothes
were in blissful apathy to all else but
the resonant tinkle of the starters
gong as it announced their respective
cars. And SO the world moved tran.
GULLY along the same old rut, and the
street car company and the dear lib
erty-loving people were evidently on the
best OF terms imaginable.

TRIED TO ESCAPE,
And Was Almost Drowned Before
Captured.


George Ray, vag sentenced to the
workhouse for sixty days, Saturday
evening made desperate attempt to es-
cape. He had been working with
gang On Second street, and at O'Clock
made a break for liberty. He ran to-
ward the river, holly pursued by a
guard. After hiding for time behind
lumber piles and logs, where he
had taken of his clothes, he
was discovered by his pursuer.
Ray leaped into the river and tried to
swim across, but the undertaking was
more than he could carry out. He be-
came exhausted and sank. The guard,
who had procured boat, now came to
his aid, reaching the spot where lie had
disappeared as the drowning man came
to the surface. The guard seized him
by the hair and dragged him into safety
and durance vile. He vas thrown into
the Workhouse dungeon, where he
spent the Sabbath III meditation.
