A Promise to God.

I promise Thee, sweet Lord,
That will never cloud the light
Which smiles from Thee within my soul
And makes my reason bright,
Nor ever would lose the power
To serve Thee by my will,
Which Thou hast set within my heart
Thy precepts TO fulfill.
Oh, let me drink as Adam drank,
Before from Thee he fell;
Oh, let me drink as Thou, dear Lord,
When faint by Sychars we'll
That from my childhood pure from sin,
OF drink and drunken strife,
By the clear fountain may rest,
OF everlasting life,

A license under some circumstances
may be about as effective as prohibi-
ton. In Morec county, Cal, a ma
jority of the supervisors were chosen
on an s'anti-saloon license" platform,
pledged to place the liquor license so
high that the result would be the
closing up of every saloon in the
county. They have fulfilled this
pledge by placing the license at
$1,000 per quarter, payable in adj
vance. The liquor men made a strong
fight for the former license, which was
800 per month, but were beaten.
They say they will not contest the
present ordinance, but will close up
business and leave the county. The
only objection to this method is that
it may be called 'whipping the devil
around stump" 1t is better to say
"no, when that is what we mean.
So far as the saloons are concerned il
should be 'no' every time. Boston

In one Of DR.. Talmages sermons he
speaks as follows: cit seems to me
that it is about time that the II, 900, :
900 professors of religion in America
take sides. 1t is going to be an out
and out battle between drunkenness
and sobriety, between heaven and
hell, between God and the devil.
Take sides before there is any further
national decadence; take sides before
your son is sacrificed and the new
home Of your daughter goes down
under the alcoholism of an embruted
husband. Take sides while your
voice, your pen, your prayer, your
vote may have influence in arresting
the despoilation of this nation. If
the II, 600, 900 professors of religion
should take sides on this subject it
would not be long before the destiny
of this nation would be decided in
the right direction.

HE TOOK MORPHINE,
At the Advice of a Physician, but
Gets an Overdose.

Gets an Overdose.
Morphine nearly claimed another vic
tim yesterday morning. A jewelry en-
graver, whose name is variously stated
to be Daven, Stevens and Putnam, is at
the point of death at the gymnasium of
the Twin City Athletic club, while
every one around him refuses to give
any information as to how he came so
near deaths door. AS near as can be
learned, however, about 9 o'clock yes
terday morning he began TO feel the
terrible painS of a chronic ailment
which comes upon him at intervals, and
upon the advice of physician took a
dose Of morphine. The dose proved too
large, and as soon as he discov-
cred this fact he made his way
with great difficulty to the Twin
City Athletic club gymnasium, hoping
by vigorous movements to throw of tn e
effects of the dug. DIR. Culiom was
called, and worked over the young man
for nearly three hours, when ali sup
posed him dead. He was rigid. and his
face was purple. At this juncture
George KesSIer. the Montana boxer, who
is III the city to meet Dick Moore,
CHANGED into the gymnasium, and being
told the situation, seized a slab of wood
and dealt the unconscious man heavy
blow OH the bottom of the feet, follow
ing it up with many more on different
parts of the body. Under this very Wig
OrOus pounding the young man soon
showed signs of returning conscious
ness. AS soon as possible he was got
ten onto his feet and exercised. kessler
says that he came from country where
there is more or less dealing with opium
and morphine, and that he knew just
how to go at it.

A DRESS OF GLASS.
1t Is Not Transparent, Will No
Crease or Break in Wearing.

1t Is Not Transparent, Will Not
Grease or Break in Wearing.
New York Sun.
A gown of glass, with fringes and
Fittings all of spun glass, cleaning
white like the sheen of pearls. deftly
woven that it may not break or fray, is
worn by well-known actress.
The fabric woven is not unlike a
coarse-meshed grenadine, only heavier,
and has glstening surface more brill
liant than that of satin.
1t takes Oh graceful lines in the drap-
ing like fine and heavy velvet, and will
not crease or break i'll wearing. Only
If, on mischief bent. some one folds it
In crease sharply and presses 1t firmly
with the finger nails, the glass threads
snap aud cut the warp III a rent that is
difficult OF repairing.
Now, this material is not transparent,
nor is it brittle: neither is it moulded to
the figure warm, though the beauty OF
ut suggests the idea.
1t is made up i'll a carefully fitted
lining of silk, which, after its adjust
ment. Is ripped apart spread out upon
the glass and its outline traced. The
glass is pasted along the traced lines
with a solution of glass before the cut
ting to prevent fraying, and the cut
edges are bound and Tapped beneath a
gimp or paSSementerie, also woven of
glass in an open pattern.
Twenty-Five dollars a yard is the
modest value placed upon this product,
and a score of yards are required for
trailing gown, so that there is little
danger or It's losing caste by too great
popularity.
With the cloth of glass come wonder
full fringes like woven milkweed floss,
paSsementeries, and braided bands for
girdles and headings.
I The material itself may be plated with
putfs and fulled into rutfies, which, wit h
the soft, fine fringeS, are the III ost
effective decorations for the glass
gowns.
Another interesting fact for the
woman who wears the Cinderella dress
of crystal is that when it becomes solled
i'll wearing she can wash it off as she
would her parlOr windows and make it
rs fresh and beautiful as ever.
The actress gown is made i'll the 1880
fashion, with the f1aring skirt fitted
closely about the hips, the cores out
lined with braided gimp of glass. At
the foot there is puff of glass, over it
q fall of chiffon, covered with the eX-
Quisite cleaning glass fringe.
The bodice is deeply vandyked from
the belt toward the shoulder, and be-
tween the points are puffs of chiffon
narrowing toward the belt and broaden
ing toward the top, where fall of
chiffon is covered with the glass fringes
which finish the low cut neck.
The huge pulled sleeves of the period
ara all of glass, draped in the approved
fashion and finished with fringes.

ANOTHER REBELLION.
This Time 1t Is on the Subject of
Transfers

transfers.
A rumor was set floating yesterday
that the residents OF Northeast Minne7
apOliS had decided to make test of the
street car ordinance requiring passenr
gers to enter the transfer station for
tickets, and that concerted effort
would be made to test the ordinance. 1t
was stated. moreover, that COM
DinatiOn of the residents of the
North side had been made, and that
according to mutual understanding a
delegation would meet at the CELL,
trail transfer on Hennepin avenue at
6:15 O'Clock, and that they would refuse
to enter the building for transfer tickets.
About the time named, number of
men diSembarked from a Bloomington
avenue car at the transfer, and. after
receiving the red tickets emitting them
to admission to the station. they refused
to enter. The crowd numbered about
ten men, and when the Robbins
dale Car came along they
the transfer tickets. A majority of
these men, it is thought, were employed
Oh the new court house, and one of the
men gave his name as Aberneth and
two others as }. Hodge and brother.
The conductor on the car mentioned
refused to take the tickets, and the men
were allowed to ride half of the way
free. Mayor EustiS was questioned re-
garding the matter, and he said that he
had not decided as to the legality of the
resolution passed by the council, but 1t
is likely that he will arrive at some
decision today.
