An English friend writes as follows "We are humiliated and angry about the Crete affair. All the radical blood rises in my brain when think of the present government daring to allow our men to fire on Christians in Crete The fact is, we should long, long ago, have fired on the Turks, and there will be reck oning sone day or other about this dreadful business. We seem to live with a shadow over us, not knowing what is really going to happen from day to day, and the un- certainty is well-nigh uncomfortable. Eve rything that we, as English people, have stood for in the past seems to be crumb- ling under our feet-honor, freedom, and religion seem to be out of it, and cring- ing, self-preservation policy, or at best, a policy of drifting, appears to be advocated by our legislators.

 We have ascertained on good authority that no intoxicating liquors were furnish ed at the inauguration ball, and that a dinner was given at the white house to the relatives of the president and Mrs. Mckinley at which no wine was served. President and Ms. Mckinley will be re- spected for the stand they have taken in this matter, not only by the temperance people of their own and other nations, but by men and women everywhere who admire and honor a man of principles man who with the eyes of the world upon him, dares to defy custom and conven- tionality, and to be true to "his own self.'' We believe that were the question one wholly within the province of the presi- dent to regulate, intoxicants would be barred from diplomatic dinners as we'll as those given to his own countrymen.
 Francis E. Willard writes: We be- lieve the whole country will unite in ap- pscStbg the selection of Lyman J. Gage as secretary of the treasury. His record is as open and fair as the day. Born and reared in a good, old-fashioned Method ist home, he has kept free from enervating indulgencies, and conserved the forces of remarkably strong physique and men, tality for worthy purposes. We were neighbors in Evanston for many years, and members of the same church. No criticism upon the uprightness and manli- ness of MT. Gage has come to our ears. He was one of the closest friends of that only brother who left us in 1878, and has ever been endeared by reason of his good will towards one who was we'll beloved.

The friends of Miss Powell and Mrs.
| Thatcher to the nun Der Of eighty or
N ore, in answer to invitations issued
| last week. Assem- bed at Miss Powell's
home Saturday evening, and listened
| to a well-arranged musical program
OF fourteen numbers. Such favorite
| cim posers as DeKoyen, Chopin and
| Wagner were included in the list Of
| interpretations, all of which were well
within the powers of the people
taking part. The most notable num-
| bcrS on the program, in point of exc
cution, were the three vocal solos by
Mrs. Thatcher and the piano solo by
/ Miss Miriam Powell. Gottschalk's
Last Hope" was played with appre-
citation and delicacy by Mr.. Archie
Shepard, and Miss MOllie Daniels gave
Chaminades 'Pierretie" with spirit
and finish. The two selections played
| by Miss Maud Daniels were excellent
Is done, and some Of the duets by the
little people were very pleasing. The
program was closed by one Of Wagner's
most exalted oyertures, played with
eight hands on two pianos. II was a
piece Of singular power and refreshing
changes, made melOdiouS here and
there by Ginning high notes and re-
sounding responses. 1t furnished a
fitting climax to the varied list of
mum bers.
Each of the eleven piano selections
gave evidence OF skilful training and
conscientious preparation. Added
interest was given some of the num-
bers 10y Miss Powell's verbal explana-
tion Of their musical themes. All
were in accord with each other, and a
decided credit to Miss Powell as a
teacher and musician.
At the close of the program recep-
ton was held, when sherbet and nut
waters were served To the guests by
several young ladies who assisted in
entertaining Mrs. Bliss presided at
the sherbet table, which occupied an
alcoye in the parlor and was decorated
with smilax and Z centerpiece of pink

The friends of Herbert e. Reed
among our readers will be delighted
To know that he has Just perfected an
engagement with the famous Boston
.ans, now en- route to the Pacific
coast. Mr.. Reed spent his boyhood in
this city, and has often sung in River
Falls churches and at social gather
ings. While in Minneapolis he sang
baritone in the choir Of the First
Baptist church He made his debut
in opera parts in the role OF King IN
the opera OF Queen Esther, which was
staged at Opera Hall two years ago
under the direction of f. h. Thayer.
During three months OF the past
summer, he sang with the Gilbert
Opera Company. His voice is a re-
markably deep baritone, clear and
sustained. 1t is of a rare quality. and
may well win him a prominent place
in the roles of the most distinguished
light opera company in America.

In her informal lecture at the Glad
stone parlors last Friday evening,
Mrs. y. Spencer Hendricks, the
author of The New School" devoted
some time to telling Of the effort, now
under experiment, TO introduce the
elemental ideas of her system of
cutting, fitting and designing into the
common schools. As the principles
of The New School-which, by the
way, may be used with any system Of
cutting that employs square lines
are based on simple geometry, this
undertaking seems neither radical
nor presumptuous To interest the
little people in her method, Mrs.
Hendricks displays a pair of dolls,
one dressed in paper, the other in
lum bermen's flannels. The pretty
toys Of the paper doll, she explains
(before coming to the knotty points
in lines and angles were once a mere
chunk Of spruce tree: then they went
to the mills up at Tomahawk on the
500 line. and came out finished paper,
ready to be cut by the New School.
The tiannels, she also explained, were
once mere sleeps wool, raised way
upat the west end Of the 500, freight
ed clear down to the east end, TO some
biz wooden mill in New England, and
finally shipped clear back to Segel-
baum's in st. Paul, where she got
them. This wakes up the children
and other people-and then Mrs.
Hendricks proceeds to pound in the
principles of the New School and the
American tailor system, which
really seems to be good medicine,
after all.
