The coasting of BOYS on some of the
thickly travelled streets has become so
common that number of accidents
have happened, and there have been a
number of narrow escapes from serious
casualties. The police are making an
effort to prevent the coasting on certain
streets. One boy was arrested on Can
ada street yesterday, and others will be
served likewise in case the habit is not
broken up.

Rev. McNulty Delivers Some Per-
tinent remarks.
The attendance at the rally given by
the Crusaders yesterday afternoon was
exceedingly large. The principal ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. A. L. Nc
Nulty. editor of the Northwestern
Chronicle. He opened by drawing at
tention to the fact that the society has
something in literary way every week.
This, he said, was of the highest I'M
portaDce. 1t pleased him to see that
facts formed the greater portion of the
papers presented by the members.
Facts are the food of the mind. This
sort of education is of first importance.
The best school or college training
has in it something of the nat
ure of being fed with spoon.
The greatest names in every department
of greatness have fed themselves. They
may have had college education. That
was good thing. But it was only at
best supplying of implements for in
vestigation. The facts of life are all to
be learned after. Some of the very
greatest of the worlds names had no
university training. Shakespeare is an
example, and, nearer home, Abraham
Lincoln. The fact that one has not re-
ceived higher education should not
discourage him at all.
Good piano solos were performed by
q. +. DANES and Master Willie Nc
Guire; Messrs. Thomas Nagle and Ii. j.
McVay sang we'll; Frank Foshy gave a
pleasing selection upon the violin; j. f.
Mcclure, in a neat address, set forth the
advantages of the society.
The fourth of the series of Sunday
afternoon temperance meetings under
the auspices of the w. G. 7. unions of
the. city, at the Peoples theater, took
place at O. clock yesterday. Mrs. S. j.
Heale, state evangelstic superintend-
ent, presided. Mrs. l.. Teeples read a
selection of Scripture and Rev. George
F. Wells offered prayer. Mr.. Buttrick
conducted the singing, Miss K. L..
Phillips acting as pianist. A solo was
rendered by Miss q. B. Jequith. The
address was given by Rev. j. G. Hull,
of Clinton Avenue NJ. E. church. Mrs.
| Heal also spoke briefly.

paralysis of the efforts of the poor. The
church has come through the genera
tionS, followed in her wake by swarmS
or beggarS, trampS and Industrial out
casts.
1t is the effort of modern philanthropy
to secure all the common sense of sci
ence, and all the fire and love of relig-
len, and to unite them in complete
regeneration OF man.
Charity, like art. literature and relig-
ion, must recognise the ideal element in
life. We are born into theworld practi-
cal, we are entangled in social relations,
we are taught through the senses. We
are related to human history. Sooner or
later, If God gives us the blessing, we
awake from our practical satisfaction.
The power of the senses gives way be-
fore reflection. Like Buddha we leave
society TO seek solitude. Our discomfort
with history bids us shake ourselves
free from institutions. We leave the
practical and rise TO the IDEAL
This Is the normal condition of
every Sunny-brained and broad-hearted
young man or woman. Having obtained
this freedom, and sometimes at very
great price.We seek to realize our ideals
in the practical world. The effect upon
the social order makes onr success. The
ShSNb upOi ClCdlCS OuI CldI-
acter. Faithfulness to our visions Of
truth and beauty may not insure eXter-
nal success, but they will insure char
acter. The end of history is the king
dom of God. But the aim of the king
dom of God is a personal character.
Nov, charity is in danger of falling into
gross materialism. The good of life is
seen to 9e greater or less degree of
comfort. But comfort is not the chiefest
thing III life. Comfort, great or small,
is only bare condition of existence.
Achievement, physical and spiritual.
that is life.
ICharity must be so administered,
therefore, as to create character. 1t
must create a spiritual home not only
for tie softer virtues of Christianity,
but for the sterDer virtues OF paganism
and of science. We may sum up what
we seek to achieve in the development
OF man in the words strength, truth
and mercy. Charity must be so admin
lstered that at least these things are
sought both for the helper and the
helped. This sheds flood of light upon
methods OF money raising for the pur-
poses of charity. There are methods
which debauch the giver more than
they help the recipient. What all appeal
to the egotism and vanity OF society is
furnished by such exhibitions as the so
called charity balls!

REV. DORAN SCORCHES
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY
AFFAIRS.
SUPPORTS JUDGE WILLIS.

Rev. Frank Doran Says the Policy
Is TO TrampIe Under Foot the
Law the Powers That Be
Think Is Not a Good One
scorching Rebuke to Wright.
and His Reform"
Rev. Frank Doran delivered short
prelude yesterday morning at Central
Park NJ. E. church, in which he said:
''lt is quite remarkable, 1t seems to
me, that we have reached position in
the community where judge of the
district court is looked upon as being
culpable and almost wicked when he
says to jury that he expects them to
have respect TO law And so our COM
munity has been stirred up during the
week, aud the daily papers are greatly
agtated to think judge should have the
etfrontery TO ask jury to enforce a law
that is on the statute books. The rea-
son is that they do not consider the law
one that should be enforced. In this
country we have no hereditary kings.
We have decided to place law upon the
throne, and every loyal American is to
be loyal to the king. The Bible says.
Honor the king. In this country law is
our king. And so 1t has come TO pass
that just such laws as we think ought
TO be enforced will be enforced, and
other laws on the statute books shall be
trampled under foot. If law is not a
good one.' Gen. Grant said, the best
70 = - I.,+ e.
And lit is not a question, it seems to
me. that ought to be lightly passed by
that such things can pass in a eommu-
Dlty. 1t is grave thing to even reflect
upon our courts; but L would like to
suggest that there are laws on the
statute books that have been ignored
for a number of years, and wonder by
what right a judge should select a
statute to have it enforced and overlook
a large number of others that he knows
are not being enforced.
And so the jury could. of course, re-
ply in the same strain that he had ap-
piled to the jury. The whole thing
shows lamentable condition of the
public conscience too general i'll our
land concerning law and the sacredness
OF the law. Our munlclpal authorities
say there are certain lawSin our statute
books that they will not enfore because
they do not want them enforced. Why
connot the man who draws stiletto in
the dark say: i do not think human
life is sacred, and the law that protects
human life one that ought to he en-
forced?' If we suffer one, how shall we
enforce another? Then no wonder that
we have laWlassneSs and crime when
law is trampled under foot and disre-
garded. Every true patriot should re-
gard and respect the law Of his land
and hold it sacred"

EXCEEDED IT'S AUTHORITY.
HaggenmiIler Attacks the Action
of Council OH Weigher.

u
of Council OH Weigher.
To the Editor of. the Globe.
The investigation of charges made
against City Weigher ]. c.. Reichardt
have, drawn my attention, seeing my
name mentioned in connection with
same, as his predecessor. | did not
know that successor could be ap-
pointed to any Office which was abol-
ished by an act of the legislature. My
appointment in the summer of 1891 was
authorized by an act of the legislature
{ OF the state of Minnesota. and the COM
mon council OF the city of st. Paul in
structed TO define my duties, which was
done oy Ordinance No. 1870. On the
1lth day of April, 1893. the legislature of.
the state by an act abolished said office
while L was still on duty; therefore, no
successor to thatuffiee could be appoint
ed. The present city weigher's office is
anew office created by a resolution of
the common council under the Bell
charter, in almost mIdwinter, when the
most. important time for duties of SAID
Office had past. and no man under the
sun with dozen deputies could get a
the results for which this office should
be held responsible. In regard 10 eX-
acting means from the contractors TO
pay an assistant, will give the public
some light upon the subject. Iii the
first place it is impossible for one man
to do Justice to the duties of said Office
as required in section 4, Ordinance 1920,
without an assistant. When | assumed
the duties Of office i'll the year 1891 en-
gagged competent deputy at $50 a
month, which l paid out of my own sal
arv, the city council claiming that they
could not provide means to pay for said
deputy under the Bell charter, as that
was creating a new Office.
Ihe second year | notified the con.
tractors before these bids were put in to
provide in their price about five cents
per ton toward paying my deputy or
prepare to haul all their coal for the
public buildings over the official scales
at the market house. as provided 10y
Ordinance No. 1920
The contractors chose the former, and
an anieable agreement was effected,
and, as as a common phrase says, mo
kick coming"
The present city weigher should have
been more consistent and not asked the
contractors to donate towards paying a
deputy, as their bids had been put in
F without having to consider the expense
OF city weigher. The Office had been
abolished by the legislature, and the
city council was not expected to create
new office under the Bell charter
He should also haye considered that
large portion of the fuel had been de-
livered without the assistance OF city
WeigheT, and that no one expected him
TO be able to Keep a correct record of all
fuel delivered, and he could not do so if
he wanted to. Why did he not keep
quiet and draw bis ssalary, as was in
tended he should do?

sErBERr SUNDAY CONCERT.
1t Proves the Musical Event of
the Season. III

Turner ball was yesterday packedsto
the doors by representative audience
of the cultured and musie-lovinGtbeo-
pie of both cities, Minneapolis coptFip5
uting a large number of pronihieht
ladies and gentlemen to fittingly recogr
nize the fifth Seibert concert Of the Sea-
son. The programme comprised eight
numbers, and, like all efforts of Pref
Sei0ert in catering to his audiences,
was SO compiled as to as to afford en-
Joyment TO every taste. In the ilistru4
mental work the overture, "erioma
phale," by Rubenstein. and which that
eminent composer dedicated to Emperor
Alexander H., of Russia, was master1
piece, and received that recognition
which the character Of the work and it's
perfect rendition deserved.
The "Traum der Sennerin." an idylla
by Lacitsky, was happy selection, and
gave to those two well known vidlin
artists, Profs. Muehlenbruch and Herr
Straka, an opportunity for the eXhibi-
tion of exquisite work in the duet for
those instruments which forms the
principal Instrumentation of the theme.
An encore was demanded and grace
fully acceded to.
A cornet solo by William NARROW
was well received, and secured merited
encore. The gentleman is a competent
musician, faithful student in his pro-
fession, and is rapidly gaining con-
spicuous place for himself in the musi-
cal world. His youth and physique.
coupled with manifestly superior in
telligence in delivery, beSpeak the
brightest future for Mr.. NARROW as a
cornetiSt. Barring a certain nervous
ness, common to all solOists, and the
fact that his embouchure was slightly
Impaired in consequence of cracked
lips, due to atmospheric causes. the
number was very prettlly rendered.
The unquestioned feature of the pro
gramme was the singing of Mrs. E. w.
White, who most artiStically rendered
the brilliant and difficult cavatina from
"Semiramis," by Rossini. with full
orchestral accompaniment. The lady
possesses most pleasing soprano voice.
which she manages with the finish of a
true artist. Her phraslng, runs and
caGenZa effects were admirable, every
note being placed with perfect ease and
eXactness, and her every tone being
eXQuiSitely clear and sweet. She was
given all encore, and responded with
the beautiful and pensive Love Is a
Tender Flower" from the opera of
"Boccaecio." which served TO heighten
the audiences opinion Of the vocalist.
The closing number of the programme
was Schreiner's potpourri. '.Die Reise
um Welt in 15 Minuten," or "A Trip
Around the World in Is Minutes" The
selection was graphic and enjoyable,
the orchestra acquitting itself eXcep-
tionally we'll. The composition, musl-
cally, is a good Gne, and tittlngly terml-
mated a most artistically rendered pro-
gramme. All praise is due Prof. Sell
bert for the excellence of his work.

John H. Ives Makes Remarks. to

Conn H. ives MAKES remarks to
The Point.
To the Editor of the Globe
l read in the GLOBE of this morning
and in the afternoon papers that Mr..
Lowry is still engaged in vestlbuling
his cars. This information has been of
periodical appearance ever since the
first of last November.
When the bill for an act which be-
came a law was introduced i'll the legis-
lature and referred to the committee on
interpretations (of which was a mem
ber1, M. Lowry stated to the committee
that he had no objections to the law.
lie simply questioned the necessity of
the law. as he had already had the mat
ter in mind, and had determined to yes
tibule his cars. The committee con-
Guided from what Mr.. Lowry said that
it would be very proper thing to have
cars vestibuled. but considered that it
might be surest of accomplishment by
the passage of law, and concluded to
recommend the bill for passage. Mr.
Lowry then appeared before the COM
mittee and claimed that il would
embarrass him to yestibule all his cars,
Eul lildI NOuIu NcSllUult part Ol
them, The committee, then, in order
to recommend a law that MIR. Lowry
could unQuestionably comply with, re-
ported for passage a bill, the effect of
which was to require him to vestibule
One-half his cars. but with the under
standing and expectation that the law
would be complied with and enforced.
All companies in this state, except
Mr.. LOWry'S, were compelled to veSti-
bule all their cars. and, | am Informed,
have complied with the law.
This bill became law April 6, 1898,
and gave the companies until Nov. to
comply with it. A great many would
naturally suppose that MIR. Lowry would
prepare himself during the intervening
months for a compliance with this law,
just as Mr.. Lowry or any other business
man would prepare himself to meet a
note due at that time. Perhaps this is
all unreasonable expectation. 1t may
be that winter is the proper time to
commence to vestibule cars. Ii this is
so. it being now the 18th of January.
and the severest portion of the winter
| having already passed, why continue
| this farce any longer this winter? Why
not commence vestibuling again next
winter when mercury's summit CON-
mences to tease zero? At any rate,
Whatever dlSpOSltlOn is made OF this
matter, don't Intiict on the public any
further statement that MIR. Powers has
| just visited the shops and again discov-
| ered that the work is progressing. 1t is
| the province of newspaper 10 furnish
| news, and that statement has been too
| oft repeated to amount to news. When
| those cars are veStlbuled and in opera
| tion they wilt speak for themselves, and
tie fitting thing, under the cIrcum-
| stances, is less talk and more accom-
| pliShment. That law was passed in the
| interest of humanity, and | object to
| the treatment it has received. Respect
fully yours. JOHN 81. Ives.
