New York as o Literary Mart.

From the Ladies' Home journal.
Edward w. Box, in the Ladies

lean Literary Centre, " and presents the
claims of New York and Boston
(between which cities it may be
inferred he believe it rests for the dis

in this way: "% " y New York

President and Cabinet.

By Ex-President Harrison.
In all important matters the presi-
dent is consulted by all the secretaries.
He is responsible for all executive ac-
ton, and everything that is out of the
routine receives his attention. Every
important foreign complication is usu-
ally discussed with him, and the dip
lomatic note receives his approval.
The same thing is true of each of the
departments. Routine matters proceed
without the knowledge or interference
of the president; but IL any matter of
major Importance arises the secretary
presents it for the consideration and
advice of the president. Only matters
of great and general Importance affect
ing the general policy Of the admins
tration are discussed in the cabinet

--and votes are of rare occurrence.

Reflections and Illustrations.

for men to tax their brains trying 10

.. 1t would be IA great misfortune
could we forrknow the exact time o

us to be ready, in view of the uncer-

3. The way TO be ready is to always
doing Gods will. We must not stop
work to watch. What we need most to
watch is the approach of sin and the
greatest safeguard against sin is useful
work. Idleness breeds sin.
A. The story Of the wanderings OF
Ulysses, in Homer's odyssey, furnishes
u fine illustration of the importance OF
watchtulness.

SNAKES CAME FOR HIM,
F.E. Kelley, of Madelia, Dies at the
Hospital.

A man giving the name of f. E.
Kelley, and claiming to come FROM
Madelia, was guest at the city hall
Friday. He spent bad night, for
he was evidently just over prolonged
spree, and saw ghosts and all sorts of
things, natural and supernatural. DR..
Andrews was called and gave him an
injection that quieted him for a time.
Kelley was taken to the hospital this
morning. His condition was no bet
ter this afternoon, and Supt. Rose
brook telephoned to the city hall for a
strong man to help hold the new pa
tient.
Mr.. Kelley died late this afternoon
at the hospital, of delirium tremens.
He was well-to-do citizen living
near Madelia, and is believed
to leave a fomily, although he claim
ed to be unmarried. His brother will
arrive tonight to take the remains
home. The deceased was in the hos
pital two or three days for the d. t.,
but persisted that he must 60
home yesterday, and received the
consent of the physician. He missed
his train, sought the flowing bowl, and
the result is his death. He was fine
looking gentlemen, of middle age.

he figures out just how much the
workingman will gain under free sill
yer. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that he does not show how
there will be an increased demand
for labor, nor does he explain how to
get at the relative raise in wages.
How he can judge the relationship
that will exist between employer and
employed, under free silver all over
this land with sufficient accuracy to
figure the workingman's status in
dollars and cents, is a problem that
no one but speculative and ire
sponsible peddler of political clap trap
would have nerve enough to assume
to solve. Who are going to be en-
ployers of labor under free silver,
when part of the tenents of that
party is to destroy the manufacturer
and employers generally? By what
process are the employers of labor
going to be compelled to hire labor or
to pursue industrial enterprises under
financial system that SO out of every
100 business men fear as unstable and
dangerous in the extreme; and then,
even if this were answered, by what
process will the scale of wages be ad-
justed? Will the employer allow
these alleged political reformers to
dictate the wages to be paid in or
der to indicate their personal proph-
estes? Any American workman has
or ought to have sense enough to see
how utterly fallacious is this, the
the chief argument, aside from their
abuse) of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ver-down-with-th gold-bug party.
Let every working man insist on
answers to the following questions:
How is free silver on personal &C.
count going to make the factories
start up?
If answered by the law of supply
and demand, what is going to create
the demand?
How, if the factories start up, will
wages be regulated? Will the inter
ests of the employer be permitted to
regulate wages? If so how can any
one figure on the percentage of in
crease in wages?
Every American workman who is
asked to vote for free silver should
demand a reasonable conclusive an
swer to these questions. j. r. III.

REV. WARING RESIGNS.
The Baptist Church Meets and Ac-
cepts the Resignation.

Rev. H. F. Waring Friday evening
rendered his resignation as pastor of
the Baptist church. The formal writ
ten resignation was handed to the d.
rectors, and Mr.. Waring made the an
nouncement at a meeting of the
church membership, held for the pur-
pose, and offered some explanatory re-
marks. The resignation was final
one, and as it would have been use
less to have asked reconsideration,
no such request was made by any of
the speakers.
Mr.. Waring said that he considered
his work here done, and that if he
were to remain he could not accom-
plish as much as some one else might.
1t was with regret that he took the
step, but he would like to have it
acted upon. 1t would take effect o.
tober first.
Several of the membership replied,
expressing their regret that the pas
tor had considered it his duty to leave,
and speaking of the cordial feeling
which all had toward Mr.. Waring.
The resignation was formally &C
cepted.
The. best of feeling exists between
the pastor and his charge, and his
resignation was due solely to the feel
ing on his part that some one else
could now carry on the work with
more success than he could.
During the years that Mr.. Waring
has been connected with the church
he has won the regard of all who have
met him, and his departure will be a
source of much sorrow. He is an
earnest and hard working young man,
and has labored faithfully in the in.
terests of the church. Wherever he
locates, the best wishes of all will fol
| low him.

JOHN ISAACONS' DEATH.
1t Occurred Yesterday it the ninneso-
ia River.

One of the laborers on the Omaha
right of way, John Isaacon, was
drowned in the Minnesota river some
little distance above the mouth of
the Blue Earth, Friday afternoon.
He was pretty we'll used up by the
heat and was told by the foreman to
rest and cool off awhile. He went in
bathing, and soon afterwards his
companions heard him calling for
help. Before they could reach the
shore he had gone down for the last
time and as the water is very deep
there the men could not recover the
body. The city officials were notl-
fed by telephone from Ponds brick
yard at about five o'clock, just after
this paper had gone to press. and
Chief Yates, Coroner Paddock and
Geo. NJ. Phillips drove to the scene of
the drowning. Not being able to
find the body, graphing hooks were
ordered made, and after supper the
river was dragged at the point where
the body went down. Walter Fowler
dove for the body and rende cred much
assistance. At about eight o'clock
the remains were found in nearly
twenty feet of water, and were taken
to Jno. r. Thomas undertaking
rooms.
Isaacon was middle aged man,
well built, and came from Mime
apolis few days ago to
work for Winston Bros. His
companions knew very lit
tie of him. He boarded at one of the
contractors temporary boarding
houses.
Coroner Paddock this morning de-
cided that no inquest was necessary.
The funeral occurred this afternoon
at the expense of the county, no trace
OF any relatives having been obtained.
In one of Isaacon's pockets was
found ticket given him by the Ma
tional Employment company of Min
neapolis and Duluth calling for rail-
road work from Winston Bros. at 81. so

| his business was not as great and he
did not use as much water, his bills
were the largest.
Mr.. Haynes stated that he thought
Mr.. Snow was entitled to some relief.
Aid. Andrews moved that the mat
ter be referred to the board of public
works, and the water committee of
the council to look into and report at
the next meeting. This was carried.
Aid. Andrews called up the matter
of the board of public works in shut
ting off the water in cases where it
has been used over time. He said
that there had been instances where
water had been shut off if used few
minutes over time without warning.
He did not believe this was right. If
it was only in the matter of yard
sprinkling he would not say word,
but it is not right to shut it out of q
mans house, when the trouble comes
from the outside. He should first be
notified. 1t is an injustice to the man
if he is not first notified. He intro
duced resolution providing that be-
fore water is shut off the, person so
violating shall he first notified
and if the fine is not paid,
then the water is to be shut
off. 1t provoked quite discussion.
Engineer Haynes said the rule was
working beautifully and should not be
interfered with. AS President Bur-
CESS was not present, the resolution
was withdrawn until the next meet
ing
Aid. Bradley called up the N. Front
street improvement matter and
wanted to know why the city had
paid for the improvement in one block
and assessed the remainder of the
blocks against the property fronting
thereon. If it is not remedied there
will be trouble in settling the matter.
Aid. Petersen explained how the
street had been improved. The coun-
Gil was anxious to try the roller, and
see what it would do. 1t cost about
5000. The property owners were salts
fed with it and willing to pay for it,
in fact expected to. The reason it
was done then was because there was
not time before winter set in to have
it done. The street was not fixed as
the rest of the street is now being
treated.
Aid. Adams moved that couple
of crosswalks be laid across Plum and
Second streets, and the same was
carried.
Aid. Bradley moved that all wooden
walks on both sides of Front street
from Hickory to Cherry be condemned.
A resolution to that effect was
adopted.

JUSTICE HALLS TRIP.

Justice Hall, of North Mankato, has
returned from trip through several
adjoining counties. At Fort Ridgeley
he found the excavation completed for
the r onument to be erected there on
Aug. Doth, during the encampment.
At the foot of the flagstaff was found
bottle containing manuscripts. The
best crops were found in Nicollet
county. In Renville county wheat is
estimated at 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre, and the crops in Blue Earth
county were good. Crops never looked
finer, except that corn needs rain in
some sections, owing to the dry, hot
winds. Mr.. Hall returned yesterday
by way of Faribault.
