Prof. A. w. Small is an optimist.
Nevertheless he thinks that he sees
clouds on the social horizon already
bigger than a mans hand. II they
continue to enlarge, in the shape OF
trusts, to the bursting point, the re-
suit will be, he thinks, something like
this: "The men whose business it is
to communicate ideas to their genera
ton will be gagged by those who pub
lish ideas; and the publishers will be
shackled by the manufacturers of pa
per; and the papermakers will be held
up and hindered by the transportation
trusts; and the transporters by the
producers of steel; and the steel in
dustries by the coal operators; and the
coal miners by the oil producers; and
the oil magnates by the-sto-enakers
and the oil consumers; and the cook
stove men and their aids and abetters
by the sugar trust; and the sugar in
:terest by Wall street; and the stock
brokers and spectators by the labor
unions; and the labor unions by the
farmers; and the farmers-God help
:them-by everybody! A grim TRACE
dy of combinations! Or rather a phil
.osophical primer, that defines in q
homely way the antagonisms that will
grow out of the present craze for cen
trailing the Industrial forces Of the
country.

An obtuse, supercilious woman, who
evidently thought she was a lady, was
trying the patience of an old German
florist while making her selection OF
of flowers for Easter. The collection
did not suit her, and after more or less
of unpleasant comment and criticism
the old man became impatient, and
delivered the rebuke she needed. "Goot

does not ask me how I will hat them

BRIGGS is ORDAINED
THE CEREMONIES CARRIED OUT
WITHOUT A HITCH.
Those Who Expected From the Great
Outcry of the Past Three or Four
eel Seine Sensational Feature
Weeks Some Sensational Features
Were disappointed - Rev. DR.
briggs Enters the Episcopal Fold
to Serve Among the PoOr--Bishop
Potter Conducts the Ceremonies
of Ordination.

New York, May 16. - In the pro-
cathedral, on Stanton street, Rev. DR..
Charles A. Briggs, who was suspended
for heresy by the Presbyterian assem-
bly,, was ordained a priest of the
Episcopal church. He was ordained
together with the Rev. Charles A.
Snedeker, and the ordination cere-
monies were conducted by Bishop Pot
ter. The little church was crowded
with people and the ceremonies were
notable for the quietness that pre-.
vailed.
Those who expected, from the great
cutlery Of the past three or four weeks.
some sensational features, were disap-
pointed. There was no scene, no eX-
element and no protest vas fled at
the beginning, during or at the close
Of the ordination. There was nothing
notable in the sermon preached by
Rev. DR.. George William Douglas.
The ceremonies were very long, COM
mencing at 1890 o'clock and continu-
ing until late in the afternoon. If any
thing the services were hurried a lit
tie. and the general communion which
followed the communion of the postu-
lants. or candidates, tended to extend
the time.
There was a large crowd about the
little pro-cathedral church as early as
$50 O'clock. This increased as the
time for the ordination ceremonies ap-
preached. Rev. DIR. Briggs was some
what nervous. though he did not he
tray it in the church during the
services. There was a semblance of
nervousness in all the celebrants.
There seemed to be a tendancy to hur-
nv through the ceremonies. Tho
church was not decorated. Only a few
potted plants and a few lilies were in
the chancel.
Rev. DR.. Briggs vas seen after the
ceremony. He said he had nothing to
say concerning the criticism raised by
his ordination. He said he was going
to take a rest. A close friend of DR..
Briggs said that he would go to Eu-
rope and in the fall would labor in the
pro-cathedral church. Rev. DR.. Pad
dock said that it seemed strange that
a man of DR.. Briggs learning should
take. so much pleasure in laboring
among the poor of the East side. but
this was his wish. He said that Rev.
DR.. Briggs would not give up his posi-
ton in Union Theological seminary.
but would labor in connection with his
teaching.

It is not infrequently supposed that
men who are severe, judicial, and crit
ical are the intellectual superiors OF
others who are lenient, kindly and
charitable. The latter are beloved, 1t
is true, but the former are feared and
respected as having a higher standard,
and perhaps more strength of mind
and force of character. Yet it Is safe
to say that in the generality of cases
the exact opposite of this is the truth.
It requires very little knowledge n
very little intelligence to find fault.

Iron Mountain, Mich, May 17.-For-
est fires are raging to the west and
couth Of the city. A fire northwest of
this city was started by a woodchop-
per leaving a camp fire, and the wind,
which was blowing a small sized gale,
famed. it into a conf1agration. A
stretch Of a half-mile wide and three
miles long was all ablaze. Three farms
owned by Edward Harvey, Theodore
Jacques and Richard BENEFITS of this
city, were in the path and the build
ings and stock were saved only by
hard work. Edward Harvey loses
about 200 cords of newly chopped
wood that was piled in the woods. An
other fire started near the compressor
works Oh the Menominee river south of
the city, and burned considerable
standing pine and cut hardwood. I'm
less this section gets a good rain many
farmers near this city will be burned
out.
