A visitor at the grounds of the Mime
sofa State Fair association, at Hamline,
would see but little in the present ap-
pearance of the machinery department
to convince him that within the next four
weeks the largest display Of agricultural
machinery and vehicles ever made at a
state fair in Minnesota would be shown
there. But a review of the applications
in the hands Of the superintendent of
that department indicates that in num-
Der of exhibitors and variety of goods
exhibited the display for 1899 eclipses all
previous records. The space afforded
by the three huge pavilions, furnished
by the state fair association for the &C
commodation of the manufacturers of,
and dealers in, farm machinery, and tbs

to accommodate the exhibitors in this
line, in spite of the fact that the largest
individual displays are made in the
buildings owned by private parties who
fill them with their own lines of goods
Arrangements have therefore been made
to flank these buildings with an array Of
tents greater than that seen last year, at
which time several large concerns in
this line chose the tent as the most salts
factory means of making their several
exhibits.
Activity in the department has already
begun by the association preparing for
this unusual demand on its facilities.
Carpenters have been engaged for some
time in repairing the machinery build
ings and putting the platforms in good
condition, and the state far visitors this
year will find the buildings more COM
pactly filled and the Platforms In more
general use than ever before in the his
tory Of the association.
In addition to the exhibits planned for
the public and private buildings and
the numerous tents in prospect the
usual amount of heavy machinery will
be found in the open field. The thresh-
ing machine houses will again make dis

men to that which is theirs by birthright
forms reciprocal relations which bind
stronger than steel bands. Yet withaI,
few fully appreciate the advantage which
is theirs The depIorable unconcern of
men towards their fellows, the grasping
avarice and greed which seek to build
up by tearing others down, the indiffer-
ence of many to the sufferings of others,
are all too keenly marked. Ere God
kingdom on earth begins must come an
era when mutual helpfulness and brother
ly affection between men such as only the
knowledge of salvation by birthright can
bring about.
"In years gone by I have seen time
and again instances which brought the
fact to mind that in our relations with
our fellows the deceits and unfaithful-
ness which often result from sudden
stress of circumstances create skepd-
cism which turns men from churches and
religious surroundings. Many child of
eight has been started on the way to
complete distrust of himself, his fellows
and the value of his birthright Of saliva
ton by a petty falsehood or apparently
trivial deception.

the common falsehoods of society and the
scheming wiles of the Jacobs in the
world have robbed thousands Of price

would to God that churches and the
clergy, the devoted followers Of truth
and the vast number of those who have
found the imperishable boon of the gift
of God, a birthright of salvation, could
tie all humanity to standards of truth
and right, belief in God and the happi-
ness of the knowledge Of salvation. The
unwisdom of selling his birthright for
days pleasures, trivial indulgences and
taste of wickedness has brought many
young man and many young woman
to sorrow and lifelong unhappiness.

DEAD BEATS
That Make Use of Hotels for Their
Private Business.


Private Business.
Cincinnati Enquirer
you would be surprised" SAID a hotel
clerk the other night, ito know how
many schemers, fakirs, small promoters
and curbstone brokers use our corridors
and reading rooms as Offices. They make
all their appointments here, and when a
prospective victim turns up they head
him into a quiet corner and transact
their business as comfortably as they
could in a suite in an office block
There's an old chap by the door who has
been using the house as his own for sew
eral years, and to my certain knowledge
he has never spent a penny under it's
roof. He has several agencies and pat
ent rights, and now and then he succeeds
in getting a farmer on the string. The
countryman sUpposes, of course, that he
lives here, and Is duly Impressed by his
surroundings. The old fellow takes him
into the writing room, and If 1t isn't quiet
enough there he doesn't hesitate to adj
journ to one of the parlors That's no
unusual case, either. During the fore
part Of last carnival week one of these
promoters actually took possession of a
private parlor with a couple Of clients,
and barred out a number Of guests until
they could conclude their conference
Formerly such gratuitous tenants had
their mail addressed to the house, and
called for it at all hours of the day and
night, but we thought that was carrying
the joke bit too far, and put a stop
to it 1t may be said without the slight
est eXaggeration that there are between
thirty and forty men in New Orleans
who make their offices regularly in the
different hotels, and as far as 1 know.
not one OF them has ever been a guest
They are tolerated because we don't
want the reputation of being mean, and
don't care to take chances on offending
any of their friends, who might be bona
fide patrons"

the machinery buildings.
DEVOTED TO HARVESTING.
For the first time in many years a
harvesting machine display will be made.
the Harvester King company, of Har-
vey, ILL.,, having made application for
space. This in itself will be a novelty
to state fair visitors, no harvesting ma
chinery having been exhibited at state
fairs for the past ten years. 1t is posi-
BILE that no more than the one set of ma
chinery will be shown for 1899, but this
may prove to be the opening wedge for
exhibitions by other concerns in the flu
ture.
Wire fences and fence machinery are
attracting more attention annually as
the farmers in the Western and North
western states turn their attention to
stock farming, in addition to the growth
of small grains. This is especially the
case in a state where the stock in
terests are as important as in Mime
sofa, and the manufacturers of these
goods recognize the fact by making
liberal displays at the Minnesota state
fair, and the display of this class Of
farm necessities will be larger and more
attractive than ever this fall. To in
crease the attractiveness of this branch
of the department the American Steel
and Wire company will display in the
enclosure where their fences are exhibit
ed a number of wild razor back hogs cap
tured with much difficulty in the Indi-
an territory and to be shipped to the
Minnesota state fair at considerable ex-
penSe. The exhibits of numerous other
fence manufacturers will be found ada
cent to the display above referred to, and
those interested in wire fencing will
have an admirable opportunity for com
pairing the relative merits Of the various
kinds manufactured.

To Test the Inv

An attempt will be made at the next
meeting of the trades and labor assembly
to have resolution passed protesting
against the action of the street railway
company in running cars with the words
nited States Mall on the sides when
no mail is carried on them. If the res
olut1on succeeds in getting through that
pody then the appointment of a commit
tee VIII be asked for whose duty it will
be TO take up the matter and endeavor to
have the words obiterated. The laws
governing the carrying of mails are very
explicit and fine of from 500 to $500 is
the penalty for not obeying them 1t is
claimed that the trades and labor coun-
Gil OIL Minneapolis will also agitate the
matter and that If necessary to secure
the enforcement of the law, delegations
from st. Paul and Minneapolis and pos
sibly Duluth will be sent to WASHINGTON
to interview the postmaster general. The
cars on the Selby avenue line and the
Como-Harriet interurban line carry no
mail and yet 1t is said that nearly If not
all of them bear the inscription UNITED
States Mall 1t is further claimed that
these cars are thus labeled to intimidate
employees from interfering with the run
ming of cars in case Of trouble between
the company and themselves The same
condition prevails on the lines in Mime
apolis and Duluth The local authorities
have been appealed to on several oc-
casions TO have the words removed, and
although they acknowledged that It was
an mira ction of the law and thew had
so informed officers of the company, no IN
ing has as yet been accomplished looking
to the removal of the inscription.

QUESTION OF NATAL RIGHTS

Evening Discourse Plain and
Practical Talk by One Who Has
Seen Many Years in the Ministry
TO Every Man Born Into Gods
World Is Given a Birthright-Ex-
ceIIent Musical Features
The new chorus choir of the Central
Park Methodist church assisted at last
nights services and gave a special pro-
gramme of anthems which interspersed
a sermon by Rev. Noah Lathrop, one of
the Oldest Methodist ministers of the
state. Considerable effort has been di-
rected towards securing the new choir
and the musical features of the evening
service were excellent. Sixteen voices
comprise the chorus and the careful and
painstaking work Of an excellent choir
master has given excellent results
The opening selection was an old IA
miliar anthem, Jerusalem, My Home"
which was given with pleasing color and
sweetness. The evening discourse was
simple and practical talk by a man who
has seen many years in the ministry,
gathered about the story told in the book
of Genesis of the compact between Jacob
and Esau, whereby, for a trifie, the latter
gave up his natal rights. Devoid OF
rhetorical display, the sermon was one
of impressiveness and force and contained
much matter for thought. In part, it was
as follows:
No man liveth for himself alone
There is a solidarity in human affairs
and actions which operates to make what
affects one mon of interest to all of his
fellows. Perhaps, for this reason, the
story of one who, in ancient times, sold
that which was his by right for a mo-
mentary advantage appeals strongly to
those who live in the present. AS in
dividuals, we speak of our rights by
birth. AS Americans we take pride in
rights inherent in our government. AS
Christians, a people living under Chris
tan advantages and believing in the
Deity, there are rights which are ours

Memphis Scimitar.
A metallic casket, not of a kind COM
monty seen in these days, was found on
a farm about mile and half from New
port, Ark, in Jackson county, at the foot
of the highlands of the White river and
not far from Thompson's lake. While
blowing a farmer struck something with
his plowshare. Knowing that there were
no stumps in that part of the field, he
dug down and found the top of a metal
box about six inches below the surface
of the soil. When the search was con-
tinued it was found that metal coffin
was imbedded in the sandy soil. The
coffin is now in Memphis.
The casket is about six feet and a halt
long and has the shape of one Of the
old mummy wrappers. In fact this idea
is carried out in the ornamentation. as
the ironwork is nodded in the form of
winding sheet. The robe is such as

FLOCK OF WIND MILLS.

The manufacturers of wind mills, pumps
and similar goods will have a generous
display Of their lines, and possibly some
additions will be made to the usual list
of exhibitors in this branch. The wind
milf field is always an attraction to the
state fair visitors, and this year will be
no exception. AS for the lines Of general
machinery they will be shown more ex-
tensiVely than ever, and all varieties
OF drills, seeders, plows, cuittvators,
harrows, tanning mills, ETC., imaginable
will be displayed On the whole, the
machinery department., which is always
one Of the most interesting and at
tractive, will excel in both these respects
for 1899. 1t is safe to predict that with
favorable weather the visitors to the
Minnesota state fair will exceed in num-
hers anything known before by the agri-
cultural society and that the machinery
department. wilr attract Its full pro-
portion.
The plan of lighting the grounds and
keeping the state fair open evenings is
novel one, and is attracting a great
deal of interest among the exhibitors
III the machinery department. To see
the huge buildings brilliantly lighted
will be a new experience, and many
OF the exhibitors are preparing to take
advantage of the new arrangements to
keep attendants constantly on the
GROUNDS unIlf after the evening at
fractions arc over Many visitors from
the Twin Cities who are unable to give
attention to the fair in day time will
be found upon the grounds in the even
ing, and the vehicle men, especially,
will be prepared to give them the same
attention as throughout the day. A
p;.st of the exhibitors in the machinery
buildings will not keep their employees
on the grounds at night. but the even
ing visitors will be enabled by means
of the electric lights to look over the
machinery exhibits as we'll as could be
done by day light, and this privilege
will be granted them the same as to the
visitors in the day time.
