SAMPLES IDEAS.
He Airs Them before a Century
Hall Audience.

minneapolis the City of God" was
the title of the lecture. or sermon, DE-
liyerea by Rev. S. w. Sample at the
Century hall last night befUre a large
audience. 1t was q desultory sort of 4
lecture. and there was nothing original
about it. His description of the Euto-
pia, the Elysium, the Minneapolis of
the latter part of the twentieth century,
was fanciful, to say the least, but by no
means new. How to bring about this
condition of affairs was touched upon
at length. There were a great many
reforms needed. reforms in the political
world, of the social system, and the
practice of human charity. He re-
feTred 10 the sins Of municipalities, and
said that Minneapolis has as much helix
ishnesS as any city in the country. Then
he remarked upon the saloon and social
evil.
There was TOO much commercialism
and too much craftsmanship TO make an
ideal city. While on this idea Rev.
Sample talked little politics. and i'll
cidentaiIy intimated that there might
he an independent ticket placed IN the
field next fall. so far as municipal mat
tiers were concerned. The citizens who
did not care to swallow everything and
every candidate for tie sake of party
might put up ticket and endeayur to
elect man and men who would come
nearer representing their ideas of Just
ice and reform.

is about 10 be removed 10 this city. The
Century Piano Company by this move
will be enabled TO turn out about fifteen
Anderson pianos 4 week. thus furnish
Ing steady employment to at least 100
skilled artisans. As TO the merits OF
the Anderson piano they can hardly be
exaggerated and the following chipping
from the Presto" Chicago. Jan. 70.
1888 is only one OF many tlattering testi-
monials:
The Anderson piano, Rockford, ILL.,,
is an accomplished fact. The instrU-
ment is a total surprise to the most case
hardened piano man. One hardly knows
where TO begin describing It A greater
difficulty is 10 know where TO stop. The
Instrument is an ideal one. The work.
manship is unsurpassed by anything in
this country. No piano specially made
for any foreign pOtentate Is any better

piano. In the case is placed one OF the
best upright scales ever drawn. Every

that MOI ey can procure. Mr.. Anderson
is endearCriug TO make the piano of his
lifetime. and surpass anything he has
ever attempted.
The tone OF the Anderson piano is
like the striking of the cathedral clock
in YOUR library. Its mellowness is mar
velous. and 10 savage blow can break
this beautiful quality. In volume the
piano is another surprise. 4 chord

SECRET SESSION, a. r. U.
Officers Elected and Eighty Mem.
bePs admitted

Officers Elected and Eighty Mem.
bePS admitted.
So far as any indications of strike
are concerned, there was nothing to in
dictate such catastrophe on the surface
of things in Minneapolis yesterday.
Matters were extremely quiet at the
depot of the Great Northern and around
the yards, and there was not the slight
est intimation of demonstration.
Last evening secret meeting OF the
a. r. u. Lodge No. LOG was held at
the hail, 90 Fourth street south, and the
hall WAS packed to the doors. The
strike was only touched upon incident
ally, the main business being the election
of officers and the imitation of new
members. About eighty new members
were taken i'll last night, and a union
man informed a GLOBE reporter that
200 men had been admitted within the
last three days. e. B. Mayo presided
over the meeting, and l. Forrest was
elected president and L. German vice
president.
Regarding the report in a morning
paper that there is 4 probability of the
Northern Pacific men going out, an
employee of the company said last night
that he considered the rumor fabrica-
ton and without any foundation in fast.
At any rate. there is certainly no ildica-
ton OF trouble at this point

A Lecture on Tap.

London Telegraph.
Prof. Herbert Herkomer, r. A. has
put the photograph to new and excel
lent use at his Bushey studio. He de-
livers into the recording instrument his
art lectures, and the benefit of this
arrangement is that the students can
come at certain hours and turn the
professor on" as often as they feel
inclined. For classes that are constant
ly changing this is an enormous ad-
vantage. The newcomer can call up
the spoken word of past addresses that
he may not have heard, and SO avoid
disastrous breaks in course.
The idea seems capable of extension.
Would it not be possible. if the student
himself possessed the monograph, to
repeat into it the art lecture? Then as
often as he wished in leisure hours. and
even in after years. he could turn on"
the professor whenever he needed or
desired to do SO. Decidedly simpler
and more convenient than nOte-taKing
and writing out, which, at the best, is
an Irksome effort, to say nothing of the
loss of time.

Saturday night at the city hospital
patient died. Her name was Mrs. An
ME Church, anu the cause of death VAS
pneumonia. There is a story III con-
uection with the woman's death that,
if true i'll every particular, will
show that there is altogether TOO
much red tape in the offices of
the superintendent of the poor and the
city physician. Mrs. Church arrived IN

her parents. She intended returning to
her home in Grand Forks, where her
husband resides, but was too III to pro-
ceCd on her journey, So took quarters al

place. uf tie case. lie asked TO have
a physician sent there 10 attend
the woman. as she was poor and
very sick. he made repeated Wis
lis TO The city hall and TO the
office OF the superintendent OF the poor,
and il was not until Saturday morning
that a physician was sent over 10 look
after the sick woman. In the evening
she was taken TO the city hospital ana
an hour later she died. II Is claimed
that had she had proper care Mrs.
Church would not have died so soon.
Nome Of the officials OF the hospital or
poor department could be found last

BE- Richard r. Harding, alias Harris.
alias henderson. who left the CITY at
the orders OF the police yesterday, left
behind him v0iuminouS lot of CORE
spOndence from stage-Struek girls all
over the Northwest. which in his iiasty
departure he did not have time TO pack
in his portmanteau. The letters prove
the value Uf advertising TO an extent
that would satisfy any skeptic on that
subject, and at the same time that the
fUol-killer has still large amount of
unfinished business on hand.
The little adlet for girls 20 join show
company which Mr.. Harris inserted in
the papers would have created 10 end
of harm if the police had not discovered
and flushed his game when he was about
TO play the winning card. He would have
had an army of foolish young misses
conferred III Minneapolis by the 1st or
May TO start with him for Detroit to join
his company, and would have all their
ready CASH Ill ms possession before the
Starting. When that momentouS time
arrived Mr.. Harris would have been on
the ether side of the state boundary
charge of the city poor department.
Some of the letters lie received 20 to
show painful lack of common sense
among his victims, who might possibly
have protited by the experiment had
they been allowed to try it.
Girls from Minneapolis, ST. Paul and
all parts of this state answered his ad-
vertisement. and there are numerous
letters from Wisconsin, Iowa and other
! states.
Here is fair sample of the majority
