NEW NATIONAL PARK.

It L. Thought One viii Soon BE Estab-
lished In Minnesota.
DR.. Z. Is. Fernow, chief Of the di-
vision of forestry in the department Of
agriculture at Washington, is in Crooks
ton, Minn.. in consultation with Super
intendent Hoverstad of the state expert
ment station. One object of DR.. Fer
now's trip to Minnesota at this time is
to lay the foundations for some extern
sive experiments in the line of forestry
which will add to thevarieties Of trees in
digenous to this country, many Of which
grow in other countries where similar
climatic conditions exist. The main OBJ
ject of Dr. Fernow's trip at this time,
however, is believed to be far more
important one. He will 60 to the coun-
try east Of Crookston and will, it is said.
look up the forestry conditions as they
apply to the natural growths.
1t is believed, however, that DR.. Fer
now's trip to Minnesota and his jaunt
into the wilds of the Indian reservation
lands is for the purpose of investigating
and reporting to the government upon
the feasibility and practicability Of es-
tablishing a national park and forestry
reserve which shall include the head
waters of the Mississippi. This has been
urged by leading citizens of the state
and by the principal newspapers very
strongly during recent years, and the
opportunity is ripe to do this at this
time, when the Indian reservations are
being parceled out and a sufficiently
large tract of country is obtainoble. The
great slaughter of deer and other large
game at this time emphasizes the fact
that game preserve would be feature
which would probably be added.

The PiOus Robin.

Here is story of an orthodox robin.
Some time ago attended morning serv-
ice in Ely cathedral, where during the
prayers robin kept fitting about the
building, joining occasionally in the
service with a modest chirrnp. When
the clergyman assembled the pulpit and
began to speak, the robin deliberately
perched himself on one of the pinnacles
of the chancel screen quite close to the
orator, and the louder the pastor
preached the louder did the robin sing,
much to the amusement of the congre-
cation. / have no recollection of what
the sermon was about, but the robins
singing made deep impression upon

MRS. CLEVELAND STUDYING.

Tour of the World?


Tour OF the World?
Mrs Cleveland is adding TO her vari-
ous other accomplishments by taking a
thorough course in French. She has for
a tutor orc of the most proficient lin
GUSTS in Washington. who calls three
times wecl, ut. tho executive mansion.
He regards Mrs. Cleveland as an apt
pupil and says she has acquired consid-
erablo proficiency. The fact is regarded
as giving additional probability to the
statement that it is tho intention Of
Mr.. Cleveland, upon retiring from the
presidency. to follow the example of
General Grant and make an extensive
tour abroad, cncircling the globe in the
course Cf his travels. IIe has mover been
beyond the confines of the United States,
except in his brief visit to Cuba, and is
said TO have an inclination toward such
q journey.
The rumor that Messrs. Cleveland,
Carlisle and Olney will organize great
law firm in New York is denied Icy Sec
retary Carlisle But the president will
probably reopen his law Office after the
completion Of his foreign travels. He
is, however. we'll beyond the reach Of
poverty, as his p lie fortune is vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to
SO, 600, 600. The latter figure is named
by tho more radical Populists, who de-
sire congressional inquiry as TO how
this wealth was acquired.
Only two members of the cabinet
seem to be in the way of securing life
time positions in the public service.
These are Secretary Herbert and Post
master General Wilson, both of whom
are poor men. Mr.. Herbert, it is expect
ed, will be made chief justice Of the
court of claims, and Mr.. Wilson is sug-
gested as successor to Judge Cox, who
will soon retire from the District Of
Columbia supreme bench.
Secretary Carlisle will either accept
the presidency of New York financial
institution or establish law practice
in the community where it promises to
be the most lucrative. Attorney Cen
eral Harmon will 60 back to his law
Office in Cincinnati and Secretary Nor
ton to his country residence in Nebras-
ka. Secretary Lamont has extensive
business interests in New York which
will keep him abundantly employed.
Secretary Olney will go to Boston and
take up the routine Of the legal profess
sion. Secretary Francis will return to
st. Louis and his grain and produce
business until such time as he can read
his title clear to seat in the United

The personal property Of the late
James Terry, at one time Terryville's
leading citizen and president Of the
Eagle Lock company, was sold at pub
lio auction the other day by Richard
Baldwin, administrator of the estate.
Much of the property consisted of books
and household goods left by Mr.. Terry,
besides few articles belonging to the
estate of Mr.. Terry's grandfather, Eli
Terry, the first clockmaker Of America.
The greatest interest centered in the
sale Of the original grandfather
clock" Eli Terry's first production, and
therefore the first tall clock made by an
American. 1t is remarkably handsome
timepiece, the ultimate ownership Of
which has been the cause of considera-
BILE controversy. The bidding was con-
fined to James Terry Of New Haven and
e. Clinton Terry of Hartford, the late
Mr.. Terry's only sons, and the old clook
was finally bought by Il. U. Terry for
$1,000. An oil portrait of Eli Terry
and Eli Terry's first shelf clock were
also secured by E. O. Terry for $780,

owe their thriving condition to

Mr.. Applehagen was appointed
fire warden and held the po-
sition for three years. During
his residence in Duluth he
made many friends, both in and
out of the ranks of organized

for the betterment of the labor

First President of Duluth Trades
Assembly,.

Emil A. Applehagen was born
at Erie, Pa, 40 years ago of
German parents. When 6 years
old his father died leaving
widow and four small children.
Young Emil attended the pub
lie school, doing odd jobs to
help his mother, until he was
IL years old, when he started
out for himself, obtaining work
in a pail and tub factory; in the
meantime attending night
school to keep up his studies.
At IA he entered a cigar fac
tory, learning the trade which
he followed for twenty years.
Mr.. Applehagen left Erie in
1874 and spent some time trav-
cling; working at his trade in
many of the large cities, finally
landing in CORY, Pa, where he
worked at his trade, and later
went into business for himself.
After staying in Cory five
years, he sold out and went on
the road for the purchaser of
his business, as agent.
In 1888 Mr.. Applehagen went
to Bradford, Pa, and from there
to Milwaukee in 1884, coming
to Duluth in 1889.
Mr.. Applehagen's first expe-
rience with organized labor was
in Elyria, Ohio, where he first
joined the G.. NJ. |. u. Was
made president of the G.. NJ. I.
U. at Cory, Pa. in 1884, which
was his first official position in
a labor organization.
When Mr.. Applehagen landed
in Milwaukee in '84 there we're
900 cigarmakers, and only 40
members organized. With his
untiring efforts, in June, 1886,
the union had membership of
600 with a reduction of from
ten to eli ht hours a day and an
increase of from $1.O0 to $500
per 1000 cigars.
He organized the first Trades
and Labor assembly in Mil
waukee under a charter of the
A. r. of l.. and called it the
Federated Trades Council"
Mr.. Applebagen held the posi-
ton of president until his re-
moval to Duluth.
In 1887 he represented the
Milwaukee council in the ma
tional convention of the A. F.
of L. at Baltimore and in 1888

The Right to Work Should Not:
be Denied.

State Factory Inspector Mccall
lum delivered an interesting adj
dress before the Unity club at the
Unitarian church on "Trades
Unionism." Mr.. McCallum is we'll
posted upon the reform questions,
having given years of study to the
vital problems which are agitating
the republic today. He said
There is something radically
wrong in any country when one
man goes to rest in his bed of down
who counts his wealth by the mil
lions, while one of his fellow men
goes to sleep by the roadside, with
nothing under him but the dust
from which he came, and above
him, for cover, the broad canopy
of heaven. This condition of things
is bad, but how much more terrible
is the fact that two million and
half of voorhees, workers in this
country beg in vain for an oppor-
tunity of earning an honest living,
starving in the midst of plenty,
dubbed tramps and paupers, shun-
ned as something unclean.
This great army of unemployed,
with it's millions of dependents,
marches hopelessly and helplessly
forward to the tune of "America,
Land of the Free" or, rather land of
corrupt courts and government by
Injunction, and home of the nine
teenth century philanthropist,a alias
ShyloCk. From press and pulpit
comes the cry of the sacred rights
of capital. How about the sacred
rights of labor? The one the cre-
ator, the other the created; the one
bowed down to and wOrshipped, the
other, great in possibilities, ground
down under the heel of the Moloch,
capital. We have made money our
god, and men drug.
The mission of the trades unions
is to raise man up to that high
plain his maker intended him to
occupy and to compel money to act
as a servant and not as a master.
TO this country the political slave
of Europe lifts his eyes in the hope
that the emancipation of the wage
slave in this land is but the first
step towards the emancipation of
the entire human race. He leaves
the political ills he knows of to be
met on this side of The Atlantic by
industrial slavery in many in
stances worse.
He sees Chasm, with wealth. ar
rogance and pride on the one side
and widely prevailing poverty and
a deep sense of injustice on the
other. Those on the one side are
impelled by selfish motive of
greed for gold and power, and
those on the other by desire to
protect themselves from serfdom.
The capitalist feels that he has
RIGHT to more than a just share of
this worlds goods, a right to pur-
chase labor and every commodity
as low as he can, and to increase
his wealth by every means in his
power, at the expense of the thous-

Net Receipts,
Suns Cotton Revlew.

New York, Sept. 1.-The Suns cotton res view says: Cotton declined 3 to points, re- covered the loss but later reacted and closed easy with a net decline of to II points. with sales of 213, 1O0 bales.
 Foday's features: The Liverpool news to- day was disappointing. Prices there ad- Vanced to be sure, but the improvement was regarded as an inadequate response to the sharp rise there yesterday, and even most of the early advance there was lost before the close. Besides, Liverpool sold and sell ing orders were received from the continent and local operators realized on yesterday 8 advance. So prices slowly receded. At the decline shorts covered and there was fair amount of new buying for local account. The loss was all recovered and in some in stances prices advanced a point. But before the close German bears hammered and once more prices weakened and declined closing at about the lowest figures of the day New Orleans was lower, the crop movement was rather heavy and spot markets in this coun- try were less active than of late.
