AS we have often said in these columns we
never like to discourage correspondence, but
we really think that the writer's who are now
dealing with the question Of the possible
transiervuce of these Danish islands to the
United States might save their energies till
we know little more of the facts bearing
on the matter.
AS for our correspondent Musidorus we
cannot help thinking that he was in a very
respondent mood when he wrote his letter.
We are moi as black (at least not AID as he
has painted us. Thus the sketch of the law

the school house is greatly overdrawn. We

Saturday, 9Th June 1896.

A short time ago we copied from an
Antigua paper a complaint about the smoke
and sparks from the ice factory there, and
many IF the remarks were applicable to our
own new establishment. We understand
that sirce coal has been substituted largely
for wood at the ice factory, the smell of the
smoke has been very offensive in the neigh
bonring houses and the smut from it has
been an equal nuisance. During the last few
days the atmosphere has been heavy and the
wind variable, and as a consequence the
nuisance has been noticeable at various times
in most parts of the town.
Some months ago we published a letter on
this subject; but we have always been reluc-
tant to seem to be putting difficulties IN the
way Of a young and struggling industry which
we must all welcome, and Therefore have not
ourselves commented hitherto or the matter
1t is possible, however, to pay too high a
price for anything, and it may be tn" case
here so long as we have the ice factory IN the
heart of the town.

coming to American waters to be all

Washington, Jan. 21.-The fourth an

Endeavor Union closed this afternoon
with an overlooking mass meeting IN
Central hall. Secretary Baer, of II
National Society. talked on The Re
sponsibility of the Individual Worker,
and, as his memor was fresh with h

ly practical. He was followed by Pres
ident Clark. the founder and president
of the National Society. whose subject
was Spiritual Blessings to Be Expect
ed From the 1896 Convention" The
closing addresses this afternoon were
by Rev. Tennis Hamlin, ID. d., or TINS
city, and by DR.. Clark. Strong reSolu-
tons upon the Armenian question. the
saloon. Sabbath observance, etc. were
adopted. The progress reported by the
committee of 1S9 indicates that the
July international convention wilt. as
DR.. Clark said in one of his addresses,
reach the high water mark. The vast
committees, composed Of 1900 persons,
gave already abundant signs of active
work. Their organization Is complete.
and very soon they will undertake the
| detail work of canvaSsing the city for
accommodations and making the as
signment OF churches. The hall COM
mittee has made contracts for the erPc-
ton of three mammoth tents. A joint
resolution was recently introduced in

sion to use the large reservation in the

the tents will be pitched. The seating
! capacity of these will be 10000 each,
and in addition to the tents arrange
ments will be made to conduct oVef-
flow and simultaneous meetings in Il
dozen churches conveniently located.
The music viii be led by a chorus COM
posed of 5000 voices. which will in
clude the entire membership of the ia

soon be divided into sections, and re-
Eearsing will commence. Already sew
eral of the largest hotels have been en-
gagged by state delegations as head
quarters, aiId the committee is daily in
receipt of letters requesting assign
ments for large numbers. Besides hav-
ing Il hotel headquarters, each state

city churches. Pennsylvania, with n
delegation of 1000, has been assigned
to the Calvary Baptist church: New
York to the Church of the Covenant;
Massachusetts to the First Congrega-
tional church. and Indiana to the Yer
mont Avenue Christian church. The
churches will be kept open during the
entire convention, and here the dele
gates will receive their mail and find
In many ways home comforts. The
committee expect that at the lowest
calculation GO,OO0 delegates will be reg,
istered. Recent indications are that
the number will be nearer 5000.

ANOKA MAKES ANSWER.
Charges That DR.. Smith Tried 10
Make a Deal with Chaska.

ST. Paul, Jan. 21.-The answer of the
city of Anoka in the suit over the site
of the fourth insane asylum was serv-
ed upon the various parties to the ac-
ton in this city and filed in the clerk
of courts office by G. H.. Wyman, city
attorney OF Anoka. The answer was
evidently designed to make a personal
attack upon Commissioner Smith as a
consolation for the various criticisms
passed upon Commissioner Hopper, he
of variable decision. After recOunting
the law under which the commission
was organized, the bids are narrated,
and then the answer brings in some
hOt paragraphs that will give n u
phurOus tinge TO the unfortunate en-
broglio. 1t charges that DR.. Smith
tried to make a deal with Chaska, and
that Hastings put in q false plat Of the
site offered to the commission. The
deal which Mr.. Smith is charged with
trying to make was that he offered TO
vote for the Chaska site if the people
of Chaska would contribute the SD
900 to be raised from the state for n
hospital for acute insane to he located
midway between st. paul and Mime
