Minnesota to BE Asked for Support
for Red Cross Work in Manila.
Stephen Barton has received a letter from
the California Red Cross. setting forth the
needs of the Red Cross work in the Philip
pines and asking that the states from which
troops were sent to the islands make an
especial effort In this direction. The Cali
fornia association passed the following reso-
luton:
Resolved. That the secretary be instructed
to write to the American National Red Cross,
asking that an appeal be made to the states
from which troops have been sent to the
Philippines. urging them to raise funds with
which to aid in maintaining the Red Cross
field hospital, about to be established at
Manila by the California Red Cross State
association.
In compliance with the above resolution.
ganization. wrote the letter which was re-
ceiVed by Mr.. Barton, outlining the work OF
the D, association in connection with the es-
Enlistment of field hospital in Manila.
The letter states in part
With the first transports leaving here, two
nneiy trained male nurses were sent, with
nurses rendered most efficient add to the sur
geons while here. and greatly aided in the
care OF the sick en- route. Our reports from
them confirmed the need of more nurses and
supplies, and In enlarging our work we also
felt the necessity for sending some respon-
sible person in charge of such supplies.
Win tuo fdSI eApeulLlOu we sent Cnfee urOre
nurses. surgeon. and also financial agent.
and complete equipment for field hospital
OF l25 beds. The agent is under bonds, and
Will have charge of supplies and supervis-
ion of the nurses The cost of maintaining
these nurses will be about $225 month. this
amount being allowed for personal expenses.
The letter then urges that the states from
which troops have been sent to the Philip
pines be requested to give financial aid to
the work. and continues:
A portion of such funds could be placed to
the credit of our agent at Manila
through the Bank of Hong Kong. for the
purchase of emergency supplies. We have
undertaken this work at the suggestion of
army surgeons, who feel that the hospital
work Of the government VIII need to be sup
plemented by that of the Red Cross. We had
the pleasure Of meeting your delegate Judge
Joseph Sheldon, and have explained to him
fully the work being done by our association.

TO INSTALL A PASTOR.
Goodrich Avenue Presbyterian
Church to Hold Services Tomorrow

A special service will be held tomorrow
evening in the Goodrich Avenue Pres byterian
church for the ordination and instaiat on of
d. D. Mitchell. who has to st. FsaI
to fill the pulpit recently vacated by Rev.
John Pringle, the Alaskan missionary.
A special meeting of the presbytery was
held Thursday in the Goodrich Avenue
church to receive Mr.. MITCHELL into the ST.
Paul presbytery and to examine him for
ordination.
The moderator Rev. r. E. Mitchell, of the
Arlington Hills Presbyterian church pre-
sided MIR. Mitchell was examined in theology
by Rev. Mr.. Kennedy, of st liwater; in He
brew and Greek by Rev. c. W. Scoyel n
history. church polity and the sacraments b.
Rev. c. E. Robinson, and In motives fo-
entering the ministry by Rev. E. R. Lew s.
Mr.. Mitchell was highly commended by the
moderator for the way in which he passed
the examination and for the briliiancy and
thought displayed.
Moderator Driscoll appointed Mr.. Mitchell
and his elder, c. E. Kean. a committee to
arrange for the installation. They reported
the following Moderator G.. e. Driscoll to
preside; the sermon to be delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Kennedy. of Saltwater: the charge %
the pastor by Rev. E. P. Lewis; the chlrge
to tie people by Rev. c. w. Scovel.
The new pastor graduated from Yale uni

went to Mccormick Theological semin lry,

both Yale and Mccormick he stood exception
ally high in his classes.

bringing to bear upon employing cap
ital the pressure of combination to Sc
cure its just share of the profits on the
Joint product Of it's and capitals serv-
ice. In each case the line Of least re-
sistance is the line OF mass. Each in
dividual. Of ordinary prudence, seeks
to procure that which he needs or
wants with the least expenditure Of
money, because money is but stored
product of effort. One development Of
this is to be seen in the field Of distri-
button of products in the great depart
ment stores. where again concentration
is the line of least resistance to the OBJ
StacleS In the way of the meeting Of
the demand for reduced cost on the
part of the consumer. Massed buying
means cheaper buying; nassed distri-
button diminishes the cost Of that pro-
cess. and the frugality of the purchas-
er triumphs over the sentiment that
bemoans the disappearance OF the small
dealer.
Elsewhere this tendency towards con-
centration is strikingly shown. Our
local columns noted the arrival in one
of our railroad yards Of coal-carry-
ing car with q capacity of 100000
pounds. It is but few years since the
load weight Of the average car, painted
on Its sides, was 20, coo pounds The line
of least resistance Is the car with the
largest possible carrying capacity The
train load is problem whose solution
accounts largely for the marked reduc-
ton made in recent years in the ton
mile rate Of freights. How much
freight can a train be made to carry?
The "train-mile" is the complement Of
the "ton-mile." In thirty years the
study of this line of least resistance
has increased the average number Of
mile run by freight trains, from 81 tons
in 1867 to 1879 tons in 1896. Presented in
another way, the average mileage of
these trains per mile Of road operated
has decreased from 1888 in 1867 to 2,73O
in 1896, decrease Of Is per cent; or
again, the average number Of tons car
ried one mile per mile run rose from
1857 Of a ton in 1867 to 1.6 tons in 1896,
and the result, appreciable by the ship
per- is seen in the reduction Of the ton
mile rate of chargesfrom an average of
1925 cents in 1867 to 1905 Of a cent in
1886. These are but few Of the re-
suits Of the study Of that vital fact of
nature, the line of least resistance; a
study, it may be observed. in closing,
that legislators have not yet entered
