ANOTHER SHOT AT EUsTIs.
The Clergy Keeps Up the Fusil-
ade at the Sunday Saloon.

The Clergy Keeps Up the Fusil-
ade at the Sunday Saloon.
The preachers of Minneapolis yester-
day took another shot at Mayor Eustis
and his Sunday saloon policy, and the
batteries of invective were turned loose
from number of pulpIts. During the
day and last night a tour OF the
city was made by a member Of the
GLOBE detective bureau. and it must be
said that the town presented an ex
tremely quiet appearance, and eSpe-
cially is this so in the downtown dis
trlct, where the drinking places are the
most plentiful.
1t is understood that Crusader Briggs
and his henchmen were on deck again,
but they gaiued small satisfaction, as it
was almost impossible to gain entrance
into any OF the saloons. From all out
ward appearances they were hermetic-
ally sealed and as quiet as the grave,
and If any Of the places were access
ible. only those gained access who had
the mystic sesame.
Among those who took the Sunday
saloon as a text for their sermons were
the following:

An aristocrat of letters, Mallarme

on the indiscriminate accident of uni

to be read nor to be understood by the
bourgeois intelligence, and 1t is with
some deliberateness of intention that he
has made both issues impossible. M.

SWEDISH CHURCH BURNED.

But the Fire Department. Does

Walls-Damage Estimated at
$7,O0O-It Is Fully Covered by

The First Swedish Baptist church
was badly damaged by fire yesterday
afternoon. The fire was discovered
about $3.50 p. m. by A. Raleen, the jan
ltor of the church, who saw flames ris-
ing from the chimney. Mr.. Haleen
turned in an alarm from the box on the
corner of Eleventh avenue south and
Eighth street, and then hurried over to
the residence of one of the trustees and
mott fed him.
The fire department responded
promptly, but upon its arrival the fire
had gained SO much Roadway that two
more alarms were sent in. The fire.
men experienced great difficulty in
fighting the fire, as it had spread from
the chimney to the roof. and ran rap
idly around the building. Moreover.
the weather was so cold that the spray
from the streams of water thrown upon
the church coated the ladders with Ice
and rendered it difficult, if not danger
Gus, to ascend them. At 5o'clock the
fire was at its worst, but an hour later
it was under control, and at 6:30 it was
eXtInguished. The damage is estimated
at about $1,000, but is fully covered by
Insurance. The roof was practically
destroyed and the Steeple badly burned,
though not undermined. The interior
furnishings were ruined by water. Dur
ing the progress OF the fire the crowd
kept gathering. and assumed such pro-
portions that the police were kept busy
forcing the people outside of the fire
lines.
The Swedish Baptist church was built
fifteen years ago, and cost $4,000. 1t is
brick yeneered building. Its pastor
is Rev. Olaf l.. Bodien. 1913 South

the rest of the animal kingdom, that no
larger wild animal has mouth con-
structed with the devourlng apparatus
built on the plan of the Insignificant
looking snails mouth. for that animal
could Out-devour anything that lives.
The snail itself is such an entirely un-
pleasant. not to say loath some, creature
to handle, that few amateur naturaIists
care to bother with it, but by neglecting
the snail they miss studying one of the
most interesting objects that come
under their observation.
Any one who has noticed a snail feed
ing on leaf must have wondered how
such soft, 1abbY, alimy animal can
make such sharp and clean-cut in
ciSion in the leaf. leaving an edge as
smooth and straight as if it had been
cut with knife. That is due to the
peculiar and formidable mouth he has.
The snail eats with his tongue aud the
roof of his mouth.
The tongue is a ribbon which the snail
keeps in a coil IN his mouth. This
tongue is in reality band saw, with the
teeth on the surface instead of on the
edge. The teeth are SO small that as
many as 10000 Of them have been found
on one snail's tongue. They are ex-
ceedingly sharp, and only few of them
are used at time. Not exactly only
few of them, but few of them com
paratively, for the snail will probably
have 1000 or 5000 of them in use at
once. He does this by means of his
coiled tongue. He can uncoil as much
of this as he chooses, and the uncoiled
part he brings into service. The roof
of his mouth is as hard as bone. He
grasps the leaf between his tongue and
that hard substance and, rasping away
with his tongue, saws through the
toughest leaf with ease. always leaving
the edge smooth and straight.
By use the teeth wear off or become
dulled. When the snail finds that this
tool is becoming blunted he uncoils an
other section and works that out until
he has come to the end of the coil.
Then lie coils the tongue up again and
is ready to start in new, for while he
has been using the latter portions of
the ribbon the teeth have grown in
again in the idle portions-the saw has
been filed and reset, SO to speak-and
while he is using them the teeth in the
back coil are renewed.

Rev. DIR. Holman LearnedIy
Discourses on the Sanctity of
the Law.
In the prelude to his sermon last
evening at Wesley M. E. church, Rev.
DR.. French discussed the attitude of the
Methodist church toward the liquor
traffic. DIR. French began by calling
attention to the fact that the Metho dist
church is one large society and that the
local church is nothing, while in the
congregational denominations the in
dividual church is everything. Conse-
quently, the attitude of the Methodist
church upon any question possessed
significance beyond that of the others.

church discipline, which denounces the
liquor traffic Internationally, declares
1t to be the enemy of society and the
church, the corruption of politics. the

Methodist to refuse to support at the
polls any party or candidates who are
not unqualifiedly opposed to the liquor
traffic. The discipline is also uncom-
promising on the question of licensing
the saloon. The license law, it says,
is in reality the bulwark of the saloon.
In conclusion DR.. French read that por-
ton of the discipline which urges every
Methodist to wage unceasing war against
the saloon. In the course of his pre-
Jude, DR.. French stated that the Meth
odist church had always been an un-
compromising TOE to the liquor traffic.

some of the other denominations were
in the habit of using stimulants them

It's will lay before 1t the petition he re-

children asking that the skating privi-

its funds would not allow the expense
of maintaining the same skating facili-

A wall of Indignation went up
from the lovers of the winter
sport in the city, and not only the
young people, but many of their seniors
interested themselves in trying to have
the park board reconsider the matter.
AS result, some strong pressure has
been brought TO bear on the commits
sioners, and it is likely they will vote to
have skating at q few of the parks at
least, as several citizens have volun-
teered to contribute toward fund for
the purpose of making up any deficit
