ONO and Lombard
Deierreu matIerS' University make such
demands on our columns this week that
many things intended for this paper are
necessarily carried over until next week.
An editorial review of the Ohio Conven-
ton, the Wisconsin report, the Y. ?. @. U.
at Manchester, and news letters from
Ohio and Michigan, are among the mat
ters necessarily excluded. Were The UNI

fill the additional space with important
matter. In a week or two the pressure
on our columns will be over and the

The Riverside week again testify to
Church. the reioicinps On the
Pacific coast over the successful out
come of the canvass OF Bro. Joseph s.
Dennis, to save the Riverside church.
We give an engraving Of the redeemed
edifice this week Amid the rejoicing
and the heartfelt words which have been
uttered with reference to Bro. Dennis's
splendid service it will be remembered
that he had some grand helpers in this
great work. The General Convention
has done its part nobly. Rev. DIR. Con-
ger, Of Pasadena. was foremost in the
good work. aud to his efforts is due a
large share of the credit Of the achieve
ment. He secured S700 in Pasadena. a
remarkably generous subscription, and
from first to last, was ga hero in the
strife" or the Riverside contingent,
Mrs. DIR. Deere collected $500 outside of
the parish. Faithful friends in Chicago.
Boston and Philadelphia also contribu-
ted generous sums. Bro. Dennis will
not approve of any reference to his own
generous gift, but we must be permitted
10 say that he was the largest individual
contributor to the great enterprise. He
only asked others to follow where he
magniicently led.

The sermon this week
Rev. DR.. Sage 10 NV orr old friend
Returns H. NJ Stacy Sage

new. Dr' Sase is by our old friend,
heIurnS DR.. N. Stacy Sage,
whe has lately returned to our fellow
ship. and been received by the Illinois
Convention, from which body he retired
in 1888. to enter another ministry. DIR.
Sage has been settled in Laramie. Wyom-
ing for some years. as the pastor OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church in that city. The
sermon which we print was preached
from that pulpit. 1t is an excellent dis
course, and embodies in itself. one rea-
son for DIR. Sage's return to the Univer'
salist fellowship. The Presbyterian
"environment" is not the place for such
preaching as this sermon represents.
We welcome our brother back to the old
household of faith, and trust that he
may find employment again among US.
DIR. Sage is an able preacher, and
man of serious thought and unstained
personal record. He comes back
to US after a varied experience in
another church, sweet in spirit, with his
faith unchanged from his early love.
He desires to live and die in the COM
munion of the Universalist Church as
his sanity father did before him. His
old friends, who never ceased to regret
his arrangement, and the consequent
change of relations, will be pleased to
hear of his return.

KILLED AT DETROIT.
William Peterson Run Over by
Grand Trunk Train

The officers of the Luger Furnitr1re
company, at North ST. Paul, received
telegram from the chief Of police AT
Detroit yesterday announcing that
William Peterson had been killed there
but the wire gave no particulars. Pet
efson is twenty-five years old and I'M
married, and has been employed bv
the furniture company for the mast
three years, and left st. Paul last sun
DAY night on the Wisconsin Central
road, intending to make trip to
Sweden. He had with him when he
left $500 in cash, and, although he was
not in the habit\of fndulging in intox-
lcating liquors, those acquainted with
him say he was always ready to ex-
hibit his money, and took particular
delight in showing how much money he
carried with him. In the absence of
any particulars as to the murder, It is
supposed that he made a show of his
cash, and was hired into some unfre-
quented place and murdered for his
money. Peterson's half brother lives
in North st. Paul.
A telegram from Detroit last night
said that Peterson had his head cut off

train. The dispatch adds he had been

EASTER SUNRISE MEETINGS.
Christian EndeavOr Union Decides
to Hold Them.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
st. Paul Christian Endeavor union was
held last night at the House of Hope
church. Reports were received from
the various committees, which showed
the organization to be doing a large
work. The Christian citizenship COM
mittee reported that it had secured the
conviction of a saloonkeeper on Payne
avenue for selling liquor to minors, and
that more were to follow. The next
to be considered was the holding of
outdoor meetings this summer, upon
which there was considera BILE diversity
of opinion. After some discussion the
matter was referred to a special COM
mittee to confer with the Epworth
league and the Y. M. G. A. and report
at the next meeting.
The matter of sending delegates to
the convention to be held at San Fran
cisco next July was taken up, a spe-
clal committee also being appointed to
take the matter in hand. 1t was de-
cided to hold a sunrise meeting in all
the churches on Easter morning at z
O'Clock. DR.. McLaren and j. l.. Brain
read papers on the work of the union.
: The union is composed of fifty Chris
tan EndeaVor societies, with an aggre-
gate membership of 1000, and has for

in the mind Of Chief Jackson but that
the fire was of incendiary origin.
Thursday night the department was
called to put out a fire that had been
discovered in the vacant house at GAS
Fauquier street. The blaze had been
started outside of the house and was
undoubtedly set. While the depart
ment was busy at this fire an alarm
was turned in from GAL Payne avenue
about five blocks away, where it was
discovered that the blacksmith shop be-
away at a lively rate Before the en-
gines could cover the five blocks the
shop was in ruins, and it was only by
the most heroic efforts that the adjoIn-
ing property was saved from total de-
struction. This second fire had been
burning but a few moments when 2.
third was discovered in the vacant
house at 405 jerks street. This fire
like the first, had been set from the
outside of the building.
Chlef. jackson, in speaking of the
fifes last night, said that all four were
undoubtedly Of incendiary origin. The
vacant houses had been unoccupied for
months, and no one had been noticed
hanging about by the people living in
the neighborhood. The fire in the
blacksmith shop did not occur until
nearly o'clock in the morning. and

FARMERS TAKE TO THEM.
Supt Gregg Tells About the Winter
Institutes.

Supt. o. c. Gregg, of the state farmers in
stitute, came to St. Paul yesterday to an
nOunce the closing of the winter circuit the
last event of which was the very successful
sheep rally held at Carver not long ago Mr.
Gregg says that the present has been the
most successful season yet held Nearly 90
600 people have attended the thirty-fve meet
mgs, which have been for the most part
in the southeastern part of the state and st
which were present the most representative
farmer element in their various vicinities
There were distributed during the circuit
some 10000 copies of Annual No. 81 of the
farmers institute, which Supt. Gregg pre-
pares. He finds a great increase in the in
terest and good will shown by the people
anxious for such knowledge as is impaired
at the Institutes, the field especially showing
excellent results.
In addition to the talks on various prac-
teal subjects which Mr.. Gregg has deliv-
cred, Prof. T. A. Hoverstad of the Crooks
ton experimental station has made several
addresses through the territory covered, on
such topics as The Best Methods of Main
tanning Sub-Soil Moisture in Times of
Drought" "The Economic Feeding of Work
Horses and Other Farm Stock During Idle
ness" and Mr.. Gregg states that his assist
ance has been most valuable. The corps Of
instructors includes Theodore Louis swine
husbandry; W. L. Carlyle dairy interests !;
E. ]. Cults, horticulture; Miss NJ. c. Thomp-
son, cooking; Prof. Thomas Shaw, beef and
sheep husbandry, and Miss Ida Tilson, poultry

MAYOR DoRAN,s PROMISES.
Temperance Women Think The!
Have Reen Broken

Temperance Women Think They
Have Been Broken.
The first Of q series Of temperance
entertainments by the aggressive tenn
perance workers of the city was held
last evening at the home Of Mrs. M.
A. Luley, SGT Martin street, and an
address was given on the saloon ques-
ton by DR.. Powers, who said that
times had been hard since 1889 due to
unequal distribution Of wealth. That
the wealthy, until a few years ago,
did not feel the stress of the times,
but that the wage earners had been
rejoice when the day came when the
state put the unemployed to work.
That there would be no important
change in financial conditions till there
was change in the lawmakers, and
that there would be no change in the
lawmakers till the saloons were wiped
out. That the saloons were largely re-
Spons1ble for all the crime and pauper-
ism, and the unequal conditions which
forced women to earn the living for
the family. He said that 20 per cent
of the taxes went toward the support
of the saloons.
Miss Nicholas was appointed chair
man, and an informal discussion was
held, which was rather one-sided ow-
ing to the presence Of a stranger VINO
took his place in the meeting and with
facts in regard to municipal affairs.
Mrs. Reed took the floor, and said
that so long as the city has $1,000 sa-
Icons which pay high rent and high
wages for service, just so long the evil
would go on. She for one wanted to
sea whisky run free, holding that If it
were not fer the high revenue and
taxes there wouldn't be any saloons.
and that if liquor were free to all every
respectable person would soon become
disguised with the awful results
brought about by drink, and the abol-
ishing of all saloons would be the nat
ural result.
Mrs. Nichols said that she thought
the unions had waited till it was too
near election before they began active
work. She did not feel that there had
been any change for the better since
Mayor Doran began his term as mayor,
despite previous promises. She said
these promises had induced Christian
men to vote for the new admin1stra-
ton.
No very logical conclusions were
reached, and the meeting closed with
duet number by Mr. and Mrs. Lysle,
who gave one of the Iatter's own COM
positions. There will be another meet
ing in two weeks.

THERE WITH A FROT'EEST,
Citizens League Opposes n License
for the Alhambra

The assembly passed the application
for liquor license at the old Olympic
theater Thursday evening. This &C
ton was a day ahead of the regular
time, but, as there did not appear to
be any objections filed, the members
took a chance and agreed that if OBJ
lection should be made the license
could be held up in the board of alder
men until the matter was settled. Ac-
cording to the printed publication Of
applications, the day for the hearing
was given as April 2, and yesterday
being the last day, D. w. Doty, at
torney for the Citizens league, filed
objections to the granting of the Ii
cenSe.
The DIRECTORS are T. G. Walther, Wat
son Willard, U. G. Moore and David
Morgan The objections are the same
that have been made in other cases
where the league entered protests re-
garding the illegal manner in which the
application is to be heard by the city
clerk.
The DIRECTORS also protest against the
bond given by the National Surety
company, for the reason that the COM
pany has already signed sixty other
bonds. The protest will be taken up
by the aldermanic committee on license
Monday afternoon.
