DO YOU MEAN IT.

Then the speaker said earnestly
"Nou say L should like SO much to bc
presented to Mr. So and So But do
YOU really mean that. Is it not his
money, his dinners, his horses, his pD-
litical influence? stripped of all these
things would YOU care to know him"
Perhaps when he had these many
things he had, too, less manhood. Now
he may be worth knowing for himself,
but YOU pull him down from his Pc
destal and go off in search of some
other coming man with the dinners,
the horses, the money.

ence that Ginner's cloud had no sill
yer lining, in fact the lining seemed
TO be on the outside at all times. and
there being no salary attached to Fen
WICK s position as a preacher of the
new church, he withdrew. Ginner at
all times, in advancing an argument
Tor his church, said that the PEOPLES
churcn had been started under much
the same circumstances as the Church
of God and America" and that his own
beautiful ritual and prayer book. all
or which he wrote himself should at
least insure him the success of the
Pleasant avenue church.
NEW CHURCH WAS COLD.
About three months ago Ginner rented
the church on the corner of Thirteenth
and Canada streets for the purpose of
holding devotional services. He secur-
ed Sl,500 pipe organ, as he did divers
other supplies for his new sanctuary.
The first and only Sunday that sery-
ices were held here was a very cold
day and Mr.. Ginner had neglected 10
call around at the coal office. so that
the six people who attended the serv-
ices received a frosty reception.
Zen weeks ago Ginner's real troubles
began. Several of the policy holders
had claims against the order which
had not been paid, and the matter was
brought to the attention of the fnsur-
ance commissioner An investigation
of Ginner's books was made Mr..
Dearth found that several assessments
had been levied since the first of the
year and out of membership of over
three hundred only about half dozen
are shown to have paid these assess
ments on the-books of the order of the
Minnehaha. The first of the year Gin
ner swore that there were over 300
members of the order in good standing
Mr. Dearth's investigation resulted in
a complaint being made to the attor-
ney general and an application TO show
cause why a receiver should not be APP
pointed, was made TO the Ramsey
county district court by the attorney
general. Mr. Dearth's complaint al
legged that S1,100 had been mfsappro-
priated by the officers, with no method
of determining just how much more
until receiver was appointed.

Mr.. Ginner to those of a devout mind
who desire to become affiliated with the
new branch of the Episcopal church,
which GinEer declared would ever live
as a monument to his name. Ginner
passed it out among some of his Epis-
copal acquaintances that for contri
button of $500 to further the cause of
the Church of America he would bestow
the title D. D.. and for twice that
amount he would create a bishopric
One day in conversation with a prom
inent Episcopalian on the subject Gin
ner was asked how he could create
bishops, when he had not been ordain-
ed. He said in reply:
20. that's all right; three bishops are
coming over from England next month
TO install me"
Ginner, shortly after the opening of
his rooms in the Chamber of Com
meree- building, as a sanctuary. and
the repainting of his door sign, incor-
porated the Church of America Z"
This, however, was not accomplished
without great deal of annoyance
and trouble to the devout Mr.. Ginner.
He made an advance to a prominent
attorney in the New York Life build
ing, agreeing to pay him $25 if he
Wodlu DecOIne an incorporation OF the
Church of America, and also agreed to
pay him SIS per night if he would allow
his name to be. used in connection with
his (Ginner's) church. This PROPOSE
ton was promptly declined and, after
some trouble, he secured J. c. Clark,
who was member of the Order of the
Minnehaha; George Ingram and a man
named Piper as inoorporators of the
church.
Shortly after this, about June Is.
Ginner was married to Miss Ames.

lnony took place about a month after

cred that his wife was not the daughter

child, and that her parents lived in

ceremony, but DR.. Wright explained

Ames, it was to stick, and it didn't

OPENING HIS CHURCH.
Along in the summer Ginner made
grand preparations for the opening of
his pastorate. His Prayer Book was
copyrighted and put in print. The
Church of America was inscribed in
large gilt letters across the face, with
Samuel G. Gfnner, Primate" for foot
line. Some st. Paul people, who took
a curious interest in Mr. Ginner's mo-
dus operandi, found, on comparison.
that parts of Ginner's prayer book had
peen taken from standard English edi-
tons Invitations to the charter meet

ally, and, when the hour of eight rolled
around, it found the rotund gentleman

PASTOR FENWICK BOLTED.
The first bolt from Mr.. Ginner's
church occurred when John Fenwick.
former organist at one of the Episco
pal churches. renounced Ginner one
night during a meeting of the Order,
of the E1nehaha. Fenwick joined the
new church not for glory, but because
the glitter of Mr.. Ginner's ritual seem

church choir, especially when he had
a Rev affixed to his name Prof.
Fenwick's departure from Ginner's
church was caused by a combination

professors story, Ginner met him in a

I year. Duffy is a name to conjure with. and
those who have met him in the political
arena have reason to know that they were in
fight. He is conceded to be one Of the best
organizers in our ranks, and one who never
sleeps when there is a Democratic scalp to
take.
Then there is the dauntless wilhelm, who
moves in mysterious ways and whose kid
gloved hand is visible in almost every bril-.
liant move made on the political chess-board
True, there may be those who doubt that
Wilhelm, whose Eoble labors in behalf of
Bryan were so III rewarded, and who stands
yet upon the breathless heights of principle.
would join hands with the money sharks "
but those close toWilhelm the Dauntless know
that his faith in the Democratic party as at
pre.ent controlled, is seriously shakened, and
that the leaders are too prone to "com-
promise" Then, too, he admires the courage
of the Republicans; then, what is more nat
ural than that the Dauntless Wilhelm should
join hands with the Tactiturn Losch and the
Bold Duffy when the financial question is no
longer paramount issue
To complete the galaxy of political giants
it is necessary to add the name of that bril-
liant and dashing young Republican leader
Charles A. Snyder His political associates
have never had occasion TO doubt his loyalty
nor to speculate as to his position on aues-
tions Of party policies. You always know
where to find Charley. He is ever
in the thick of the fight; and he makes
his adversaries fight, too As an indefatig-
able worker aud an organizer of great re.
sources, it is only necessary to point to the
campaign Of last year, when no was candi-
date for Controller. Those who were "close
to the throne" in that contest were agreeably
surprised at the systematic manner ia which
Snyder made his fight. He was defeated, it
is true, but that was due to the dissatisfaction
in this district over the legislative nomina-
ations, defeating the entire ticket Snyder
is truly the young Napoleon of the Republi-
can forces in this county.
And as 3 result of the above contemplated
coalition the firm of Whitehouse, Brumm &
Co. are just beginning to rise up, rub their
eyes and look around them. The ground is
slipping from under their feet. Thus far
they have failed to see the evidences of dis
satisfaction with their leadership but it's clear
to others. L speak by the hook when | say
that ere the conveniug of the next county
convention these gentlemen will be stripped
of their power and that too, by direction of
the state leaders. The latter have within the
past two weeks been told in plain English
what may be expected in schuylkill unless
there is new deal. So keep you ear to the
ground, and you'll hear something drop, and
that very soon.
A change being necessary, what is more
natural than that the party members should
turn to such we'll equipped strategists and
leaders as Tactiturn Losch, the Bold Duffy,
the Dauntless Wilhelm, and the young Ma
polean Snyder These are names to copjure
with. RFx

A LONG STRIKE ENDED.
NanticoIe Miners Reach an Agree
ment with Their Employers.


Wilkesbarre, Pa. Dec. 1.-The con-
ference between the officials OF the
Susquehanna Coal company and a
committee OF the striking miners end
ed last night a new wage scale was
promulgated. II Is satisfactory TO both
sides and will terminate the long
strike. The strikers now await the
sanction of the officers OF the United
Mine Workers before returning TO
work. Organizer Benjamin James.
who Is in Nanticoke, wants the ten
hremen who left their posts during the
strike reinstated in their old positions.
The company objects to this. The Of
hcials say they cannot overlook the
action of the fremen, but as a COM
promise will give them other employ
ment. II is likely that the point in
dispute will be amicably settled. In
Nanticoke the strike Is looked upon
as settled and the men will be back to
work in short time. The new wage
scale is looked upon as a victory for
the company.
The conditions and prices OF a car OF
coal are the same as the old scale. the
men agreeing to furnish six inches OF
topping on each car at the breaker.
and the company to allow a check
docking boss. to be paid by the miners.
and guage to measure topping. These
two are new features. A few other
minor concessions are granted the
men. The 1000 strikers have been
idle since Aug. 5, and it is estimated
that they have lost s462, 900 in wages.
