Though Emerson suggested that
every Weed is 2 plant whose use is
not vet understood, the number Of
plants that have been brought into
service by man is very small. Edison
S. Basin finds authority for the state
ment that 1892 species have been at
some time cultivated as food, and that
the total known to have been used as
food is 1890. But many Of these are
of little value, and ''Smith's Dictionary
of Economic Plants gives only 515
species as those important for any
purposes. For medicine some 5000
plants have been employed, Of which
the United States DiSpenSatOry enum-
crates 1900, and Of which only pa are
given in the Pharmacopocia. The plant
not yet investigated offer great posi-
bilities, which, however, can only be
developed by long and extensive gov
eminent experiment. The named Spe-
cieS may be taken as about 10000,
and possibly as many more remain to
be discovered, while many species are
capable Of great variation through cul,
tivation. The apple had yielded about
100 different varieties up to few
years ago, yet some other species Of
the genus may be quite as capable Of
useful Development. The different
varieties of wheat are believed by
some to have had their origin in an
unimportant forage grass, and wild
plant still growing on English and
French coasts has given US the white
and red cabbages, caulifiower and per-
haps even the common turnip. From
the little explored fields of bacteria
and fungi may be expected many use
full products.

ILLINOIS BANKERS.
They oppose the Baltimore Plan and
Want no Days of Grace.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The executive
committee of the state bankers assOci-
alton met here. It was the intention
n.nDers to express themselves
against the Baltimore currency plan,
but after consideration it was
deemed inadvisable to assume to give
an expression for the entire associa-
ton, though it is evident that a great
majority Of the bankers Of Illinois are
opposed to the plan. 1t was decided
to present a bill to the coming session
Of the legislature for the abolition Of
three days of grace. To the commit
tee which will have charge of this
measure was also referred another
bill to make the endOrser of a note or
of commercial paper equally liable
with the maker. The next convention
will be held at Rock Island June 6

FARGO, N. D., June 3.-A case that
has been disturbing the Odd Fellows of
the Northwest for nearly a year past 8
lodge in Grand Forks this week. After
the Fargo fire of June Z last. in which
the local lodge of Odd Fellows lost its
hall and contents, contributions poured
in from outside lodges in response to an
appeal for aid for the stricken men,
bers. 1t is understood that the total
cash received amounted to upward Of
$4,000. Several Odd Fellows who lost
their homes in the blaze. and who were
entitled to share of the contributions,
voluntarily agreed to relinquish their
portion for the general good of the lodge
in order to save the order some property
it was in danger of losing because
of failure to meet Sc. GOO payment. The
spirit uf sacrifice became epidemic, and
an agreement was signed between all
members to turn all contributions into
the lodge treasury. The Odd Fellows
Review, of Minnesota. first called at
tentiOn to the manner in which these
contributions were used. and since lhen
it has become topic of conversation in
local circles all over the country, it
being charged that the local lodge used
the big fire as an excuse to provide
itself with hall at the expense Of out
side lodges. The defense of the Fargo
members is that il is no crime for indi-
vidual members to sacrifice contribu-
tons to the lodge eXchequer instead of
putting it in their pockets. Odd Fellows
the country over will watch with inter-
est the action of the grand lodge OF the
state in the matter.

The new and handsome Church of St.
| Charles, at the corner of Thirteenth
avenue south and Fourth street, was
dedicated yesterday with simple, but
impressive ceremonies. The edifice.
while not large inside. is yet COM
| modious enough to accommodate all
of Rev. FIR. Cleary's pensioners, and
stands as living monument to the
energy and zeal Of this popular priest.
The attendance at the morning service
was large, and the church presented
very attractive appearance, being pro-
fusely decorated with flowers and
palms. The exercises consisted of
sermon by Archbishop Ireland. prior to
which he blessed the new edifice and
dedicated it to God. the services being
chanted by the seminares of ST.
Thomas academy at Merriam Park.
Archbishop Ireland, in his sermon,
explained the organization. doctrine
and purpose of the Catholic church,
which the distinguished prelate de-
scribed as church of the nineteenth
century, and, in tact. OF all CEN
turtles, all nations and all races.
1t is church's function, he said.
to care for the spiritual and moral we'll
being of man, and not to supply his phys
ical needs or solve scientific prob
lens. The true mission of the church
is to promulgate and inStill the truth of
the gospel as taught by Christ. and full
filling this duty the churce discharges
its highest and most holy functions.
At the close OF Archbishop 1reland's
remarks, Rev. Father Cleary expressed
his gratitude for the distinguished con-
gregation present. saying that while he
had been taught to teach the dogmas of
the church, all would be welcome at all
times to st. Charles sanctuary.
Solemn high mass was then cele-
bratcd by Father McYonhan, Arch
bishop Ireland's secretary. assisted by
Rev. FIR Mclutyre. of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception.
In the evening Archbishop Ireland
addressed another large congregation,
the eloq uent prelate being ut his best.
He took for his text the words of our
Savior: "What shall it profit
man to gam the whole world
and lose his own soul?' He rea-
soned that the only lasting part
of man was that immortal flame. his
soul. and he adduced arguments prov
ing that even the scientists beloved i'll
the indestructible quality of the soul.
Speaking further on this Thought.
he demonstrated that there is
only one thing for man to
strive for-the boon of heaven,
in comparison with which the feeting
vanities and rewards of the world are as
nothing. In closing he said that if
patience. work and virtue were not re-
warded here they would certainly be
recognized in the hereafter.
The church derives its name from the
Cardinal of Milan. who was noted for
his great zeal and charity. aud tor this
reason Father Cleary selected him as
its patron saint

The Mosquito Coast.

Harper's Weekly.
The recent occupation of Blue6elds
by Nicaraguan troops, though it may
have been made on the plea of threat
ened invasion from Honduras, having
since been followed by the establish
ment of Nicaraguan civil law in the
reservation, constitutes gross viola
ton of the treaty, utterly indefensible
on technical grounds, and the result
must be Il readjustment of this vexed
question, in which both the United
States and England are deeply con-
cerned. The landing of British marines
was an incident of minor consequence.
The great fact is that the treaty to
which England's honor is pledged, and
through which she has held open all op.
portunity for interference in Nicaragua,
has been broken, and that new treaty
or all arbitration must follow, in which
lies for England the chance of material
advantage, and for the United States
the chance of serious loss. The treaty
of ManagIa having reference to the
whole eastern coast of Nicaragua, the
status even of the territory through
which the canal must pass would ma
turally be subject to readjustment in
settling this dispute. The Clayton
Bulwer treaty has not been trenched
it has been openly violated in the past,
both by us aud by Great Britain: aud
still it stands unabrUgated, constant
menace to our conceded rights in Mic
ara qua Certainly the present incident
offers a favorable opportunity for dis
posing summarily OF this dIsgra cetu
piece of diplomatic rubbish. ~ =
1t would be all unpleasant thing to
have it forced upon us that by our own
solemn compact we have justified Brit.
ish alliances which would jeopardize
the great waterway toward which we
earnestly look for a renewed expansion
of our industrial opportunities. Per
hope we might enforce our rights rudely
with powder and ball. as we did at Grey
town in 1854; but wise diplOmacyds bet
than recourse to arms. If, then, we
are to use diplomacy, we must do it to
better purpose than we have In the past,
and fail not, above all, to comprehend
things when expressed in the English
language. Whatever MAY come OF the
Bluetields incident, we have to rGlnetn-
Der that our rights i'll Nicaragua are
superior to any other nationi in
the world; that England, as wei Jas
other powers, has recognized the ,shpe-
riority of our claims; that to sacfifce
these rights is to impair our strength
and our chances for the equal develop
ment of our broad republic; thot such
sacrifice would mean the loss of our
most important future artery of com
merce between the East and the West.
We have nothing to fear but our own
fearfulness and the diplomatic talents
of our rivals. The treaty OF Managua
has been menace to our interests as
well as to those Of Nicaragua. Now
that it is broken. with the Mosquito
question again demanding solution, we
can afford TO he firm, and settle it for
ever in the interests of peace. and of
commercial benefit to all the world in
the Nicaragua canal, which should he
free from International entanglements.

Danz's full band played a magnificent
programme, and were heartily ap-

that seemed especially appreciated were
the grand fantastic. "AuId Lang Syne,,

business. as were also the ice cream
and other retreshment stands. In fact,
it was a typical Harriet crowd, and such
one as can not be found in like re-
sort in any city in the country Of the
size of Minneapolis.

not the only ones that diverted the
visitors yesterday, for up on the hill

for the Lyndon Lurline Boat

of the members spent the afternoon and
evening there. Standing OH one of the
broad verandas that surround the build

over the creation of this new venture of
the Lurlines, and pointed out the. mag

promenades aud glimpses of the lake

The object of the club is to give to
the Lurlines and their friends place
where, after drive or ride ON the cars,
they can get lunch and refreshments.
