The Modern Sale Unheard of In Merchan-
diSing Fifty Years Ago.

The subject OF SALES as conducted
by large retail stores was under discus
sion by party OF gentlemen at the
Commercial Club the other day. The
great October Sale now in progress at
the Big Store was the immediate topic
OF the discussion One OF the party
asked Gen. Olson to outline the plan
adopted in getting up large sale.
First of ALL" said the General "dis-
miss the thought from your mind that
these sales arc simply a question Of
deciding on Saturday to have sale on
Monday. as nothing could be further
from the truth.
"Thcse October Sales are feature OF
the Big Store and are planned months
in advance. The general plan is out
lined, buyers instructed to shape their
stocks, to buy large quantities in certain
staple lines, especially if the market
indications point to an advance in prices.
These goods specially bought arc
marked and stored away awaiting the
great sale for which they were secured.
Next comes the Advertising; this is
carefully consdcrcd-whatp plan will be
the most effective. Truth Ylust always
be the essence Of every advertisement
in order to have it effective. Then there
arc hundreds OF extra salcspcoplc, cash
boys, cash girls and bundlcrs to engage,
all OF which takes lots of time. The
delivery service has to be augmented.
The window displays and interior deco
rations designed. Everything Of this
kind is done weeks and months ahead OF
time in preparation, but have every
thing so systematizcd in the Big Store
that when we close at 10 o'clock Satur-
day night everybody knows exactly
what to do: the interior decorations and
window displays all come out, and a
busy crew of trimmers, painters, car
pcntcrs, electricians and portcrs (form-
ing a small army never seen by the
buying public) transform the entire
store so when Monday morning comes
and the doors are thrown open you
enter practically new store. Yes"
said Gen. Olson, in conclusion, "busi-
ness is conducted on different lines than
formerly, and merchandising is decided
ly different now than when / first en-
tered the field in Minneapolis"

The orator on the 153d anniversary OF
the founding OF Princeton University
was Whitelaw Reid, one OF the Paris
peace commissioners and proprietor OF
the New York Tribune. His topic was
Expansion" and he spoke like Rob
Roy McGregor. We give the following
as sample OF his sentiments on the oc-
casion: The constitution we revere
was ordained to promote the general
welfare and he is untrue to its purpose
who squanders opportunities. The two
richest archipelagoes in the world are
practically at our disposal. The great
est ocean on the globe has been put in
our hands-the ocean that is to bear the
commerce OF the twentieth century.
In the face Of this prospect shall we
prefer, with the teeming population that
century is to bring us, to remain a hi
bernating nation living off its own fat
"a hermit nation?"

bled in the administration building
moving thence in body to the chapel
where at 10 o'clock Bishop Stanley, Of
North Dakota, celebrated solemn pom
tifical high mass.
Mgr Oster came to Minnesota from
France in 1854, and in 1856 he was or
dained priest. His priestly labors
have been confined entirely to this state,
his last pastorate being i'll Clontarf
which he resigned four years ago to be-
come spiritual director OF St. Pauls
seminary. Father Ravoux, the first pas
tor OF the parish OF St. Paul, was the
first on whom the purple robe of a
monseignor was conferred; later Father
Caillet. deceased, received like honor
from the Vatican.

sterling qualities, broad charity and

are: Michael, William and John Kew

Funeral services were held Wednesday

In published interview Archbishop
Chapelle, papal delegate to the Philip
pines, is reported to have said: Il have
talked over my mission thoroughly with
President Mckinley, and we under
stand each other My GRAND is one OF
pacification. I hope to accomplish what
the army of the United States has failed
to do-to bring peace to the islands"
We think the archbishop is not diplo-
matte enough to paciiy the
Filipinos on McKinley's terms OF
unconditional surrender. The ma
tive priests exercise more inhu-
ence on the Spanish insurgents than
a FrancoAmerican prelate can over
come. The clergy will submit to Mgr.
Chapellc as the Popc's representative,
but they will be suspicious OF him as
McKinley's peace commissioner. In
our opinion he is making a mistake in
going to the Philippines in the dual
capacity OF prclatc and politician.

A New M0nseignOr.

An interesting event in ecclesiastical
circles during the past week was the
comforting OF the purple robes Of mon
seignor on the Rev. Anatole Oster,
spiritual director at St. Paul's seminary.
That this was the third time in the his
tory OF the archiepiscopal dioeces that the
honor OF monseignor was conferred on
one of its clergy, proves that here the
church has worthy and jealous sons.
In the chapel of the seminary, last
Thursday, in the presence OF notable
gathering of clergymen, Archbishop
Ireland invested the candidate for the
Pope's favor with the purple robes
which will distinguish him as prelate
in the household of his holiness. Pre-

The Rev Dr.. Benjamin De Costa,
who recently left the Episcopal COM
munion, says that the public is an ass,
because newspaper reporter told him
the public wanted to know his ecclesias-
tical plans and intentions. We think
DR.. De Costa is about right. 1t is not
the business of the public to know wha,
his religious intentions arc, or whether
he is going to become Catholic, a
Buddhist or Mohammcdan The pub
lie has no right to know many things
that reporters for the yellow journals try
to find out We think DR.. De Costa is
sincere Christian and hope God will
guide him in his search for truth.
