the state, and he was one of the dozen
men who made Minneapolis the metro
polls of the Northwest. He soon amassed
a fortune, and since the early days had
been one of the financially strong men
Of the city.
He had been connected with many Of
the leading business enterprises of the
Northwest, and for time was one OF the
directors of the Northern Pacific rail
road. In 1868 Mr.. Morrison was elected
to the State Senate from Minneapolis
and served two terms. He was the first
Mayor of the consolidated City Of Min
neapolis, having been elected on Febru-
airy 10. 1867. In 1869 he was again
elected.
AS member of the Board of Educa-
ton and the Board of Park Commission
ers of the city. Mr.. Morrison had also
much to do with the upbuilding of the
school and park and boulevard systems
of Minneapolis. He was very promi-
nent citizen and in his death the Church
of the Redeemer (Dr. Shutters) loses a
faithful and steadfast friend. We con-
dole with the family in the departure Of
this venerable friend of our church.

NOTES FOR JUNE.

THE REVISED OR AMENDED CONSTITU-
TION.
Article XI of the National Constitu
ton having been amended 80 as to give
Mission Circles direct delegate privileges
at the time of the annual meeting of the
national society, it has been reprinted
and is now being distributed through
state officials, we hope to every Mission
Circle. To help defray expense of print
ing charge of five cents copy has
been affixed And as limited supply
we're printed we hope those receiving
them will carefully preserve them for
future reference.
A VITAL CORRECTION.
In the Gospel Banner for June 10th,
in the report of the treasurer very i'm.
portant mistatement was made. How
the error crept in we are at loss to i'm
agine. Under the head of "disburs-
ments" the salary of the Pacific Coast
Missionary is credited to the pastor of
the Kansas City church, and in the w.
G. A. notes there is an omission of credit
for this years appropriation to the Den
yer church building fund of 5000. Will
those who have observed these errors
please to notice the correction and give
credit where credit is due.
THE PACIFIC COAST HOME MISSIONARY
He has worked hard and accomplished
something during the past year, and as
he is the only one to whom we have paid
salary during the year in the West he
should have the credit for it. Besides,
we have just begun our work for Kansas
City, and credit is only due when some
thing has been done. We trust all our
circles will note how our work is widen.
ing. and strive harder than ever to make
a good record the coming year.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
One of our best workers, Mrs. Jane
Pierce, Of the Church of Eternal Hope.
New York. writes the Corresponding
Secretary, recently: II am sorry Mrs.
Quinby did not get to our straw berry
festival that Thursday evening (late in
May, and actually the day Mrs. Quinby
left New York after the annual for it
was a great success. We made forty five
dollars over expenses, which goes into
the treasury of our Mission Circle. l in
tend to raise that five dollars (pledged)
extra for Japan, and hope you will prod
the other circles to do likewise"
There. sisters. she has held out the
prod" and we only hope it may provoke
you all along the line to good works. for
Mrs. Pierce got up that straw berry festi,
val in the heat of enthusiasm gathered
at the annual feast.

Rev. DR.. Bisbee, of Philadelphia, with
his family, passed through Chicago, on
Tuesday, bound for California, on a visit
to Mrs. Bisbee's family, who reside in
that state. DIR. Bisbee made US a call at
the office in the afternoon. He found Chi
cago sweltering in the great heat of that
day, promising a ''red-hot time''.. for his
journey to the coast.
Rev. j. S. Cook, Illinois State Mission
airy, attended the meeting of the Executive
Board of the State Convention on Mon
day afternoon. Mr.. Cook is now devoting
his time to the Earlville parish, where he
is doing good work for that important
church.
The New York Tribune of a recent date
contains the following pleasing paragraph
in regard to one of our Jealous woman
workers. well known to our readers
''Mrs. NJ. Louise Thomas, entertained,
last week, Mrs. Emily L. Sherwood, jour-
nalist, magazine and special writer. Mrs
Sherwood's home is in Anacostia Heights,
a picturesque suburb overlooking the
beautiful National capital, and for her
special stories she has the entree into the
highest social and diplomatic circles. Her
literary labors have never interfered
with her interest and help for the adj
vancement of women in other directions.
She has been corresponding secretary for
the National Missionary Society of Uni
versalist Women since 1884, and is char
ter member of the Daughters of the Revo-
luton and of the American Authors
Guild of this city. Although not a stu
dent of medicine, she has recently re-
ceived the compliment of being elected
President of the Woman's Clinic, of
Washington, an institution designed for
the benefit of women and children, and
to give the women physicians an opportu-
nifty for hospital practice. "
The Editor of The UNIvERsALIsT reached
and successfully passed the sixtieth mile
stone in his life journey on Monday, June
2Sth. He celebrated in the usual manner,
by putting in heavy days work at his
desk, dealing with conventions and the
Buchtel Commencement, which are so
large part of this impression Of The
UNIvERsALIsT.

through circulars and the press, need
only to remember one thing: The
Church of Our Father is on Bagley Av-
enue and Park Street. Those arriving
by late trains will. in most cases, be met:
il not, go to the Griswold House or
Wayne Hotel.
Now a final word. Let every one
who can find way to come. be sure and
come. We appeal to Unioners, minis
ters and all Universalists to come" So
says Detroit 81" and so says The
UNIvERsALIsT. and so say all of us.

Ile PRESIDENT OF Priest was duly in.
on'0i tnausu augurated as Presi
laVeu' dent of Buchtel Col
lege at the commencement last week.
The UNIvERsALIsT takes this occasion to
renew it's pledge to the new president of
cheerful cooperation in all measures for
the betterment of the college. and espec-
tally in the onerous work of reducing its
present burden of indebtedness. Presi-
dent Priest enters upon his Office with
the most enthusiastic good will of the
friends and students of the college. We
trust that substantial encouragement
will be given him when he enters the field
to secure students, and to solicit sub
scriptions for the extinguishment of the
debt. Buchtel has successfully passed
through many trying experiences dur
ing the past twenty-five years. With
the help of the alumni, and under the
inspiration of the new president, we may
anticipate its success in the future. Let
the Ohio constituency, and those in ad-
joining states, get ready to lend hand
in the good work. Once more let Ohio
spring to the rescue of the institution
so dear to many of its people, and found
ed, and thus far maintained. by many
cheerful and willing sacrifices.

"MY CHILDREN"

res, my children" to love, to think
about, and think for, to instruct and
guide into the Kingdom of God. And
what children they are! Exactly like
these whom Jesus took in his arms, put
his hands upon and blessed. God hath
said of them, "They shall be mine in that
day when make up my jewels" Sixty
seven beautiful bright eager boys and
girls coming from more than score of
homes, where "They shall be as plants
grown up in their youth. and as corner
stones polished after the similitude of a
palace"
Since last September these children
have come together with me. and my de-
voted helper. Mrs. j. X. Mitchell and
Miss Van Lieu, to learn the lessons Ut
duty and Life" No matter il there
was little time between the Sunday
school hour and the meeting of the
Junior Y. P. G. u, my children came, to
sing and recite and pray. One day a
kind lady of the city came to pay us a
visit and related how she was working
for poor children in the Free Kinder
garten." aided by the generous hearted
women from all our churches, and by the
way she interested my children, believe
that some of them will want to do some
such thing when they become men and
| women.
| Well, believe have grown some years
| younger from my association with these
delightful children. If any Of the pas
tors feel the years creeping over them, l
will tell you how age can be renewed:
make companionship with the children
of your parish. The other day one of
our Younger clergymen wrote me for in
formation concerning work with my chill
| dren. What is my method? Well
found nothing that l felt would do 80 |

little book containing responsive read
ings, daily readings. daily prayers for
every day in the week and "a Christian
| catechism." Each one of my children
owns one Of these books, and in this we
| we have all our lessons. Then there is
the class meeting when each member of
the class recites some Bible verse; com
mitted during the week. These exer-
cises with an appropriate story from me,
fills the hour. Should any of my chill.
| dren read these words this shall be my
| final word to you: Jesus was once a
child, exactly as old as you are this mo-
ment and in his childhood years he
lived that he might leave you beauti-
full example. And here is verse that l
hope you will learn and repeat it every
| day:
'I'm glad my blessed Saviour
Was once child like me,
To show how pure and holy,
His little ones might be,
| And if l try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
| Because he loves me so.
When Moses was found in basket
in the bulrushes, by the daughter of
Pharaoh, doubtless it was regarded as
something wonderful, but let me say to
| every mother, that your child is as won
derfui as any that God has put into this
world. Byprayer. by innumerable fidel-
itiee, by score of consecutive influ-
ences. make chain that shall hold them
to the path of right and keep them
straight toward the heavenly land. God

One of the mysteries of Mexico is pre-
scntcd by the Maya Indians who inhabit
the Sierra Matirc mountains in the lower
part of Sonora They have fair skins, blue
eyes and light hair, and students of eth
noloGy have always been puzzled to nc
count for them. There is Il tradition, how
over, that these Indians arc the descendants
of the crew and passengers of u Swedish
vessel wrecked on tho Mexican coast CEN
turics. before Columbus discovered the new
world But this tradition is founded on
nothing moro substantial than folklore
tale current among them that their an
cestors came over the big salt water hun
drcds of moons ago.
The McXicans have never been able to
conquer this people. Nominally indeed
they are under Mexican rule but really
they are governed by their own chief, and
whenever the Mexican government has in
tcrfcrcd with them they have taken up
arms, getting the best of tho scrimmagc
every time. Their nearest Indian neigh
bors are the Yaquis. and these two warlikc
tribes have reciprocity down to fine
point Each helps the other when the
McXicans attack them. The Muyas live
principally by the chase, although they
cultivate some corn and garden truck

DANGERS OF NUMBERING.
Death Is Always Nenr nt Hand and Ugu-
ally In Dreadful Form.


"Tho Story of Pine Board" is the tito
of an article by w. S. HARDWOOD in st.
Nicholas. Mr.. HARDWOOD says:
The train draws tho logs to tho landing,
which may be 100 miles from tho place
where our Pine was fcllcd. Tho landing
Is the bank and surface of largo river,
the Mississippi in its upper course afford
ing fine landings.
Death is near Mt hand at tho landing
indeed, it is near at hand always among
the lumbermon from the timo tho tree is
selected by the undcrcutter until it gets
the last touch of tho picaroon and is piled
up in tho lumber yard Of city or town. In
telling tho trees, in loading them upon
the big slcdgcs in rolling them down the
skidways ut tho landing, on the drive
down the river, in tho mills, death comes
often and usually in dreadful form Tho
landing is n particularly dangerous place.
When the trainloads of logs are dumped
from the wido cars, they tumble down an
immense skidway, perhaps go feet long
an incline reaching to tho leo covered
river. Load>aftcr load of logs is thrown
down upon the ice, until the river is COW
cred for city square in width and the
logs extend perhaps quarter of mile
away. There Is thus an immense weight
upon the ice and the logs frequently press
down so heavily that they crush through
it and Mt last rest upon tho bottom of tho
river bed. The logs may be piled up per
haps twice rs high rs an ordinary city
dwelling house, over 100 feet
While the men arc unloading the logs
from tho trains there is great danger that
chaser" may get after thcm-that is,
log which suddenly springs down from
tho load, where it has been held by Il
chain, and, without warning, tumblcs
down the declivity of the skitlway Mt u
tremendous rate of speed. Woe to tho log
ger who stands in tho way of tho chascr
Once in awhile it may be necessary to dis
lodge log which has become wcdgcd in

Dutchman. The men who Chamber down
the skidway, aided by their sharp pointed
pcavies and canthooks, take their lives in
their hands many time when they go to

Oftcntimcs when such n log is wcdgcd in
to II great jam in the middle of the river

the pressure of tho thousands Of logs above

Tobacco Smoke.

Smokers may be Interested to know
what it, is they nhale in the fumes of tho
fragrant weed that soothcs their irritable
nerves. Tho old fashioned idea was that
tobacco smoke consisted mainly OF car
bonic acid and ammonia, but we are now
told that it is made up of prussic acid, an
alkaloid having "a delightful odor, but
dangerous to breathe, and ms poisonous as
nicotine. since IL dose of onc-twcntieth of
n grain will destroy animal life" and of
aromatic principles las yet undetcr-
mined, )" but not bad as such principles
90, inusmuch as they are not poisonous
The active element of tobacco smoke is
nicotine, but it is contcndcd that this fresh
noXious element and which is dubbed
"collidiae," has for some time boon over
looked When tobacco is poor in nicotine
1t may set be most poisonous for then the
"coliidine" in it will operate with vigor
on the smoker. New York Ledger
