Disapproved by the Pope.

Pope Leo has written to the Catholic
hierarchy of America, condemning the
assemblage of congresses Of religion.
The letter has been delivered to Arch.
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia and to all
other archbishops. 1t was the main sub
ject considered at the recent assembling
of the archbishops at Washington. What
steps the archbishops took cannot be
learned, but the American church will
probably anthematize congresses of re.
igion in the same way that an interdic-
ton was placed on Catholic participa,
tion in the Knights of Pythias, Odd
Fellows and other secret societies.
The congress of religions held at Chi
cago as a feature of the Worlds fair
was the most notable gathering of that
character in recent years. It's projectors
expected it would lead to further con-
crosses merging all sects and creeds.
Pope Leo's disapproval will be viewed
with special reference to it.-New York

SCHOOLHOUSE ON WHEELS.
It Is In Kentucky and Is Drawn by Mules
to and From the Trustees House.

It Is In Kentucky and Is Drawn by Mules
to and From the Trustees House.
In Madison county, KY, the home of
Congressman James B. McCreary, there
is a schoolhouse built on wheels. When
night comes, pair of mules pulls it to
the home of the trustee, and the next
morning it is drawn back to its daytime
location. The mules go and come on
schedule time, and if the school be a
little slow about dismissing in the aft
ernoon the whole outfit is apt to be Civ
en- free ride.
A days supply Of water and wood is
put aboard by the trustees every morn
ing before the schoolhouse sets out upon
it's journey. The teacher boards with
the trustee and needs no carriage. At
night bulldog is chained beneath the
little frame building, and bad man
armed with winchester sleeps inside
of it. ,
All of this, it is said, came about be-
cause some one threatened to burn the
schoolhouse. Why the trustee did not
have the building located in his own
yard and save the trouble Of hauling it
back and forth is not known, unless it
is to comply with some legal technical
ity.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

For an off year the elections to be
held next Tuesday have attracted
more than ordinary attention. This
is doubtless due to the Importance of
next years contest and each party will
try and figure out therefrom what
ever advantage they can from the re-
suit, but what that advantage will be,
and how it will eventually effect next
years vote, is hard at present to say
OF course the Democrats will claim
great advantages if the Republican
majorities are considerably reduced
from last year, but this is a matter
that can hardly cut much of figure
unless they should be cut down to a
narrow margin, which is not probable.
Last year was an exceptional year,
and the pairing down of the phe-
nomenal Republican majorities then
given from one-half to one-third
would not, in the majority of in
stances, indicate that the Republicans
are TO be deprived OF the advantages
they have gained.
On the other hand should Ken
lucky and Maryland go Republican,
it would be a matter of more than
ordinary Importance to the Republi-
cans, at least, for in the former state
the result would be influenced by the
financial question, and would add
prestige to the Republican forces.
The more important states to vote
next Tuesday and the chances therein
are as follows:
Massachusetts will vote for state Of
ficers and legislature. Gov. Green
halge was renominated by the Re-
publicans and will be reelected by 4
good majority.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE.
A Representative of the Light Com
pany Explains the Discrepancy
Between the One Year and
the Five Year Proposition.

A representative of the Electric
Light company in an interview with
a FREE PRESS reporter Monday eX-
planned the reason why the company
would not agree to light the city for
one year, or an indefinite period, as
cheaply as on a five year contract.
He said: "The company have just
engine power enough to run it's pres
ent system with the street lights, or
it would run the present system and
the new machinery for incandescent
lights and power it has ordered, with
out the street lights. To run both
the new machinery and street lights
together with what is now run would
necesSitate the purchase of an addi-
tional engine, which would be useless
to them when the contract was ter
minated because not needed. 1t
could not afford to purchase an engine
on contract for an indefinite period,
which might be terminated at the
end OF two, four or six months or even
a year, and furnish lights as cheaply
as though the contract was to run for
five years."
When asked as to the statement
made that the order for the new
machinery was countermanded, she
said: "The order was countermand-
ed yesterday subject to the settle
ment. of the matter by the council.
The machinery will now be secured as
soon as possible and put in. If the
company could have done all the work
without the expense of extra machin-
cry, it could have met the councils
proposition of lower price for short
time contract.

A Committee on Miracles.

There is in Denver a so called "mira-
Gle WORKER Francis Schlatter, who is
said to have effected many cures of seri-
GUS illness merely by holding the hand
Of the patient for short time. The &C.
counts of his cures seem to be we'll au-
thenticated, and particularly convinc-
ing feature of the thing is that he treats
his patients free. Schlatter is about tc

York Sun, apparently in seriousness,
suggests the appointment of a committee
of scientific men who shall make it
their duty to investigate these singular
phenomena and to report to the public
concerning them, ascertaining, if posi-

IN DARKNESS.

The failure of the council and
Electric Light company to come to
an amicable understanding anent the
turning on of the street lights is
truly regretable. 1t means that
Mankato will grope in darkness for at
least six or eight months, and possibly
longer,
Under the circumstances, it would
have been much better had the coun-
Gil accepted the company's former
proposition to submit the question of
cost to the arbitration committee
mentioned in their published letter.
The council would in no wise have
surrendered any of it's rights or pre-
negatives in finally deciding the mat
ter, as it would have no legal right to
delegate the question of the expen-
diture of public funds to any one.
But it would have had very fair
basis of cost from which to figure.
and as result we believe that ar
rangements could have been readily
made to reinstate the lights and at
probably lower figure than that sub
mitted at last nights council meet
ing.
What cannot be cured must be en-
dured, albeit the prospect for dark
streets through the unpleasant
weather sure to visit us during the
next sixty days is by no means a
pleasant reflection.

Eugene Field Tells Stories of Well Known
Personages.
The announcement that Mrs. Annie
Besant is to pay another visit to the
United States recalls the circumstance
that Walter Besant changed the pronun-
citation of his name because he disliked
being associated in the minds of others
with the apostle of theosophy. He used
to be Besant (accent on the first syl-
lable). As time rolled on people used to
ask him what kin he was to Annie Be-
SAINT, and this worried him vastly. At
last he hit upon the happy expedient Of
changing the pronunciation of his name
So now he is Walter Be-sant and she is
Annie Bes-ant.
This reminds us Of an anecdote cur
rent in London just before Tennyson' s
death. Oscar Browning is one Of the
professors at Kings college, Cambridge.
He is a scholarly man, but his vanity
has made him unpopular with certain
folk. Well, Professor Browning was
walking in Regent street one day when
he saw the poet laureate ambling along
just ahead of him. fastening forward,
he overlook Tennyson and addressed
him Familiarity. Tennyson stopped short,
turned and eyed the professor inquiring-
ly for moment.
"Why, don't you know me?" asked
the professor. ''I'm Browning"
"No, I'm blind if you arer' said
Tennyson savagely. 'There is but one
Browning, and you are not hep'-Eu-

THE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
A Very Handsome Prospectus Issued
for 1907.

The Mankato Commercial College
has issued a very handsome prospec-
tus for the years 1861, containing
forty-four pages, neatly bound and
handsomely illustrated, including
good likenesses of the enterprising
proprietors, Arthur G. Matter and j.
r. Brandrup, president and secretary
of the college respectively. A good
write-up of the city as well as the col
lege is given, with many views of
street scenes.
The college has had a successful
career, and young gentlemen and
ladies filling responsible and remuner-
ative positions in all parts of the state
are it's graduates. The work is dlvid-
ed into three general departments,
business, shorthand and penmanship.
The methods of instruction are the
latest and most approved, and the
success of the institution speaks more
loudly than words. The prospectus
is crowded with information about
the different courses and such mat
tiers as intending students want to
know. The best of recommendations
have been passed upon the college,
which has a recognized standing in
the state. A course at business col
lege is invaluable to those who intend
to enter commercial life in any capac-
ity, and the sons Of many of our lead
ing business men have taken the
course. Anyone thinking of going to
a business college should write to the
Mankato Commercial College for in

bushels less than that of 1894 is an

Another letter from the Olympia at
Honolulu, dated October 2lst, reads as
follows:
"No money since leaving San Fran
cisco. On account of cholera no fresh
provisions from shore allowed on
board, aud as we could not get enough
TO eat all hands refused duty and re-
fused to coal ship. Everything was
settled by noon. Have nov got all
we can eat and are now taking on sea
stores. Three men were placed in the
brig for general court martial. The
crew would not coal ship before the
three men were released and restored
to duty. The petty officers were call
ed and after consultation with the
crew were sent forward to ask for a
release of the three men. The request
was granted and everybody turned TO
and coaled ship"

men," said AL White, lis too many of
them are landsmen. Captain Reid
and Lieutenant Sturdy, the execu-
tive officers, could not afford TO permit
the men ashore while the cholera was

Chinese Laborers Arrested.

The twenty-six Chinese laborers
from the Coptic who refused to GO
to the plantations were arrested
yesterday afternoon and taken to
the station house by order of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
charge against these men is the
violation of section l of chapter so
of the laws of 1892, which provides
that Chinese entering the country
must confpe themselves to agricul-
tural pursuits. Their refusal to
sign contracts is based on the sup.
position that they will sooner or
later be allowed to land in Homo
lulu, and take up any line of work
that suit their fancy. They have
evidently been influenced by three
malcontents, and after being separ-
ated from them for a short time
about twenty of the laborers signi-
fed their willingness to go to the
plantation.
