"A MEETING IN CARPENTERS HALL.

TO Be Discussed Ia the Parliament of Re-
Cresds to Go to the Holy Land-A Great
Undertaking In the Interest of Mankind.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-The movement
for home gathering at Jerusalem, seven
years hence, regardless of sect or domino
ton, for a proper celebration of the open
ing of the twentieth century, received an
impetus at meeting held in historic Car
penters' Hall. Rev. Dr. McCook presided.
The objects of the meeting were stated by
jesse T.. Peyton, who said thatit was most
fitting that it should be held in the sancti-
fed building where the rights of humanity
had been first recognized, accepted, and
subsequently given to the world at indie
pendcnce Hall on July 4, 1T76. 1t is pc
culiarly appropriate that the idea of the
proposed meeting in Jerusalem should
come from America. 1t is proposed to
have resolutions setting forth the scope OF
the idea sent to the Worlds fair commits
sion at Chicago to be read before the par
lament of religions to be held there. 1t is
also proposed to send them all over the
world to the leading papers everywhere.
The different sectS in this city will be
asked TO prepare the resolutions to be sent
to ;la parliament of religions above re.

at Independence Hall on July next
Dr. llcCook then spoke of the difficult

celebration. 1.-The differences" he said,
'wcre sentimental and conscientious. If
1sraelites, Mohammcdans and all others
can thus meet, it will be an suspicious
opening for the twentieth century. DR..
Morals has expressed his sympathy with
the idea. The work is n great one, but all
large works have emanated from small
centers We want to get the Anglicans,
the Prussians, Germans, Roman Catholics,

whose control Jerusalem is, is not in very
broad sympathy with christianity, nor is it
likely to keep step with the music of the

they took the huge poke bonnet of

Gentlemen and Gentlemen

Gentlemen and Gentlemen
The following appears in the Sleepy
Eye Dispatch of last week, and is
self-explanatory, considering the he
roic qualities of the gallant children
around Sleepy Eye:
Ed. DlspArCH:-An item appeared
in the news (?) columns of the Sleepy
Eve Herald of the 9th inst, which
started out with the comment "Some
young ladies of this place have reason
to congratulate themselves on having
such gallant beaux, etc." The circum-
stances which called forth the afore-
said paragraph are probably unknown
to the public and l wish to explain.
A friend and myself were escorting
two young ladies home the other ev-
ening, when we we're followed by A.
P. Brooks and j. G.. Forbes, two OF
the older young men in town they
should have known better) who kept
calling to us, making offensive re-
marks, ETC., which to say the least
was beneath gentlemen, las they call
themselves in the Herald) and we re-
sented their actions. l feel, under
these circumstances, that it is quite a
compliment to be called a warrior
bold" when it is necessary to defend
young ladies on our public streets
from such attacks from tree climb
ers, particularly. Respectfully,

the less important schools-if it be
possible to consider small school

that we'll qualified teacher fails to
teach good school. School officers
are not particular enough about en-

necessary to good teaching. OF the

to engage teachers much as merchants

AN AGGRAVATING CASE.

A Bottle. of, Alcohol:Forced Down Young
DeGroat's Throat.
Probably one of the most aggravat-
ing cases of human .depravity ever
heard of as occurring in Redwood
Falls, was the one that occurred in
the feed stable just south of the Com
mercial House on Washington avenue
last Sunday afternoon. Young Jim
my" DeGroat, lad of but twelve or
thirteen summers, was sporting around
the barn with a person known as
"Broncho Charley" who has bronchos
for sale here,and another young man,
whose name for the present we with
hold, on account of the social position
of his parents. The former became
worked up over something that De-
Groat had done or said, and grabbing
the young fellow by the arm threw
him to the floor. His accomplice here
seized DeGroat by the hands and held
him to the floor. "Broncho Charlie, y
in the meantime secured bottle of
alcohol or a bottle of some kind OF
spirituous liquor, and prying open
young DeGroat's mouth poured the
ugly contents,over pint,it is alleged,
down the poor fellows throat. So
quick was the effect Of this deadly in
toxicant that before Jimmy was al
lowed to get up he was intoxicated,
He staggered to an clubhouse, and
three-quarters Of an hour later was
found there in most pitiful condi-
ton by Harry Bailey. He was carried
into the laundry room, but no sooner
had he came in contact with heat, ere
delirium tremens set in and three
men found it impossible to hold him
He was tied down and comforters
placed over him. but the latter he
quickly tore and bit to pieces, and
during all of these crazy moments
imagining himself ID the power of his
assailants, he uttered wild threats Of
injury or death too" Broncho Charlie

midnight ere he passed out ofthif
state of monomania, and sank into a
deep sleep.

Names Of Clerks, Teachers and the!'
Salaries.

From time to time there have came
inquiries from school clerks about
teachers salaries and about the length
of school other districts have, that l
have thought that an article showing
just what our teachers do get and how
long they teach, would be very inter-
esting to all school officers and to all
who are interested in education. The
wide difference between the number
of months of school some district have
over others will no doubt interest all
our school loving people. The salary
question is just as important. Some
school officers imagine they are pay
ing extra high wages more than Grey
ought, not more than they can afford.
The wage question is being based up
