FITTING MEMORIAL.
Bronze Bust of Prof. Soaring Or
dered for Mankato Normal.

Bronze Bust of Prof. Soaring Or.
dered for Mankato Normal.
MANKATO, MINI, May 15.-(Special.)
Shortly after the death of President
Soaring last October the faculty of the
Mankato normal school arranged to have
a bronze bust of him made under the
personal supervision of Herbert Adams.
AS Is well known, Mr. Adams has done
q great deal of work for some of the
finest public buildings and private resi-
dences In New York city, and for the
new congressional library at Washington
He is without doubt one Of the foremost
portrait sculptors in America, and the
fact that he is to direct and criticise the
making of this bust of President Soaring
Is in itself a. sufficient guarantee of its
artistic excellence. .s-
The faculty has been most fortunate
also in securing Miss Isabel Kimban as
the artist who is to do the actual model
ing. Miss Kimball is not only very
gifted young woman. in whose work Mr.
Adams feels great interest and pride, but
she has the added advantage of having
seen President Soaring a number of
times.
The clay model is low nearing compile
ton. AS several members of the faculty
have seen 1t and photographs have BEEN
sent to Mankato for criticism from time
10 time, an excellent likeness Is assured.
The work of casting Is to begin very soon
and it is hoped that the bust will be fin
ished by commencement week 1t is to
be presented to the normal school, stu
dents and teachers gladly bearing the
cost, which will amount to about $780,
F. L. HoltZ, who has charge of the
financial part, says that not only alumni
but undergraduates who attended the
normal school during President searing's
life, are sending contributions. Many of
the former students have not yet learned
that the bust has been ordered, but the
promptness with which those who know
about 1t have come forward with offers
Of help, testifes strongly to their high
regard for President Soaring.
Every one who knew President Soaring
will remember that he was exceedingly
fond of sculpture, and 1t seems most
fitting that a beautiful portrait bust
should be his own memorial.

CULT OF ISIS.

There Are Regular Services in Her
Honor Held in Paris.
London Telegraph
Sects of "Neo-Pa gans'' of Zeroastrians
and of other mysterious and occult .'re-
ligions" have their representatives and
quarters in Paris, and one of these fine
days the Inhabitants Of this gay city may.
as 1t would appear. be, treated to the
spectacle of the ceremonies with which
the rather eccentric people who have a.
sneaking kindness for Isis, the ancient
Egyptian goddess, delight to honor her
memory.
Some of our antiquaries are recalling
to mind the fact that the old Gauls were
somewhat given to the worship of Isis
Enthusiasts even argue that Paris is a.
corruption of Bar Isis, the vessel of Isis.
A temple of Isis is affirmed by those
who profess to know all about 1t, to have
crowned the summit of Montgartre and
a statue of Isis was discovered once upon
time in the neighborhood of the Church
Of st. German des Pres.
At any rate, 1t seems that we are like
ly to witness some extraordinary rites,
including the famous dance of the four
clements divided into the pas or steps
of the Flowers, Of the Mirror, of the
Tresses, and of the Perfumes, and all
this executed or led by a graceful little
"priestess'' hailing not from the banks of
the Nile, but from those of the Seine
Then there will be singing of hymns and
primitive tunes, quite barbaric, in fact,
and, If report is to be credited, the whole
performance will be under the auspices
of an Anglo Egyptian couple which is
vastly interested in this matter of the
worship of Isis.

ARCTIC CURRENTS.
Stout Oak chestsp May Determi,

Stout Oak Chests May Determine
the Direction of Them.
A British geographical society is about
to make a departure in investigating the
poles. Some years ago Capt. George Mel
noote, the famous explorer, was wrecked
on an ice foe somewhere In the Arctic
sea. His ship fell to pieces under the
pounding of the pillows, but he and the
crew escaped in boat. The fragments of
his craft were never found, yet on pulling
away strong current toward the pole
was encountered. This set the explorer to
thinking. If the pieces of his ship were
carried off into the unknown seas, why
might human agencies be not?
So far the only reason for sending out
expeditions northward has been mainly
for the purpose of observing daily rec
ord of events, such as latitude, longitude,
soundings, daily drift, finding the Arctic
oceans bottom where possible, and so
forth, with the possibility OF discovering
the North pole. ...ea-.
A far-seeing geographer asks: why
undergo this human risk when it can be
obviated with the use If oak casks?'' 1t Is
never too late to adopt a good idea, and
SO, acting on the suggestion, the society
in question is about to set af1oat 100 spe-
ctally madecasks on Arctic waters. These
casks are to be made on the principle
Of spindle, conical shaped at each end,
of twenty gallons capacity, and iron hoop
ed. They are TO be set afloat in Behring
strait and 1t is thought that at the end
of four or five years they may be ex-
pected to turn up at Spitzbergen and
Greenland, during which period they will
have Travelled round the pole. Should pres
ent geographical deductions be correct,
these casks may demonstrate the exist
ence of a current far enough to the north
and west to meet the polar drifts which
run southwark along the east coast of
Greenland, whence 1t turns to the west
ward, thence to the southwark, where,
as part of the Labrador pack, 1t eventual
ly finds it's way into the Atlantic ocean.
You can trace this route in the Arctic
regions on any good map of the world.
So far as regards the stability of the
casks to stand the great strain they are
sure to be subjected to on their novel
voyage they will be made of heavy oak
slaves one and a quarter inches thick,
bound round with heavy iron hoops three
sixteenths Of an inch thick and two in
ches wide Coated with solution Of pitch
and resin the casks will be almost cor
rostive proof. They are to be placed on
the heavy foe pieces that they may drift
with the ice. Each cask is to contain
a number of records printed in the prin-
cipal languages of the world, these re-
questing the finder of any one cask to
ords to the photographic office of his
to all other important countries the other
the latitude and longitude where found.

FISHES THINK.
This Is the Conclusion OF a French
Scienttst.


Scientist.
biologists have long been in doubt as to
whether fishes are gifted with the facul-
ty Of remembering persons and places or
not. Some claim that they cannot re-
member, while others insist that they the
endowed with memory, though p .ibly
only In limited degree The following
story seems to show that the Ia ter are
right A student of the Polytechnic
school in Paris recently noticed that
whenever he walked with some friends in
the Luxembourg gardens the fishes in the
large basins there regularly followed him
as he strolled around the little ponds.
AS the students never feed the fishes
and hardly pay any attention to them,
such conduct was inexplicable until it was
solved by the gardener. whose duty 1t II
to feed the fish. The uniform worn by
the students of the Polytechnic school is
black, with red stripes. and that worn
by the gardener and other attendants is
very similar.
Now, evidently the fish thought that the
students were gardeners, who had come
to supply them with food, as in no other
way can we account for their habit of
following the students whenever they
walked round the basins. We>must con-
clude. therefore, that whatever may be
the case with other fish, those at least
I'm the Luxembourg gardens have an ex-
cellent memory.

NO GRETNA GREEN.
IcOnOclasts Cannot Do Away With
Scottish Marriage Laws, However.

IcOnOclasts Cannot Do Away With
Genealogical Magazine.
The noveliStS have woven a romance
about Gretna Green and its village black
smith which will last for all time and
which for all time will supply a denoue-
ment to the wares of successive profess
sional story tellers. The sordd facts of
Gretna Green marriages and the still
more sordid details of the Gretna Grsen
registers are widely different from the
picturesque romance which we associate
with the days of postboys and the mad
racing and chasing through Carlisle. t. g
history of Gretna Green and its mar
riages rests upon the abominable, mar
riage laws of Scotland We call them
| abominable, for they are the curse of the
Scottish generalogy. : The marriage laws
! in Scotland were and are (for thew re-
main unaltered) atrociously simple, and
therein lay the temptation and attraction
of Gretna Green. Probably the novel
reading public will be shocked to hear
that there is no such definite place as
Gretna Green; the name applies to a dis
trict comprising some number of villages
or hamlets some miles apart. All that
was necessary was to get over the Dor
der into Scotland and there make the ne
cessary contract before witnesses. The
blacksmith's shop on the high road from
Carlisle was the most easily accessible
and was probably the best known, but
there were some houses just over the
border which kept witnesses at hand, and
retained a register of the contracts en-
tered into. The registers were second
airy matter, and the fees demanded were
frequently large, and where secrecy was
an object, extortionate.
Those Gretna Green marriages still &C.
casionally take place, though now only
between residents in the neighborhood;
but as similar ceremonies take place all
over Scotland, there is nothing especially
distinctive about the contracts made at
these Gretna Green marrying shops But
unless an actual and proper ce emory
takes place, we believe thee Scottish
marriages are not valid upon pc sons
where both are of English domicile.
though to those intending to ell De we
can offer the consolation of the fact that
the preliminary residence and ADVERTISE
ment necessary In England are not COM
pulsory in Scotland, and a marriage in
a Scottish church is binding. So couple
of return tickets to Scotland may ST II
carry matrimonial advantages The Eng
lish- law attaches great weight to domi-
Gle, and. provided domicile be established
marriage legal under the laws of the
place of demici1e Is held to be valid In

Man Who Shot harrington Surren-

Yesterdays reports were to the effect
that 1t was Thomas harrington, and not
John harrington, who was shot Sunday,
nine miles out on the Rockford road, in
an alteration with Gottlieb Williams, the
tenant of his mothers farm, adjoining
his brother. Edward Farrington's farm.
Immediately after the shooting Williams
started to walk to the city, reaching here
about o'clock yesterday morning. He
went at once to the central police sta
ton and gave himself up. He claimed,
the officers state, that he had been at
tackled with pitchforks, and that he had
fired his revolver to protect himself.
Deputy Sheriff Agate Anderson drove
out to the scene of the shooting to inves-
tigate the affair. He found that Earring
ton had received the bullet in the right
shoulder, and that it had entered and
lodged in the right lung, so that Earring
ton had great difficulty in breathing. Or.
w. J. Byrnes attended the injured man,
and 1t is thought that he will recover.

HOPE FOR PEACE.
Administrations Offieiais Discuss the
Situation In the Philippines.

E WASHINGTON, May 15.-A satisfactory
conclusion is expected by administration
officials from the conference which will
be held by the American Philippine COM
mission with the commission which Agui-
naldo proposes to send to Manila. In HIS
dispatch to the war department today
Gen. Otis announced that Aguinaldo had
sent messenger to him expressing
wish to send the commission to arrange
terms of peace" The administration Of
hcials express the opinion that this COM
mission will submit to- President Schur-
man and his associates the answer of
Aguinaldo to the propositions made by
the American commission to Col. Ar
gueles, Aguinaldos enlmissary, regarding
the character Of government which would
be given to the Filipinos, and which
Argueles declared was satisfactory.
Gen. Otis will not grant an armistice
and he has shown that, he does not pro-
pose to stop fighting, no matter how
many peace em.ssaries Aguinaldo may
send to Manila, unless they agree to url-
conditionaily surrender. In his dispatch
Gen. Otis shows, despite the fact that
Aguinaldo states his purpose to send
commission to arrange peace, he is max
ing preparations to continue military
opera lions. He has been making prepa-
rations to attack Bacolor, where 5000 in
surgents are believed to be encamped,
and 1t Is presumed the movement report
ed today will have that point as the OBJ
jective.
Gen. Lawton IS making excellent pro-
gross in his northward march, and the
dispatch of Maj. Kobbe, with 1850 men,
up the Rio Grande, supported by gun
boats ano cascaes. Is forg the purpose Of
enabling Gen. Lawton toe cross the Rio
Grande when far enough north, without
molestation from hetemenmy. The plan
probably contemplates the rapid swinging
Of .Lawton to the west, Gen Macarthur
to remain at San Fernando, between the
insurgents at Bacolor and those at Mex
ico and Kobbe Is to takeIa station so as
to prevent them crossing the Rio Grande
Macarthur Is also needed at his present
point to protect communication with Ma
Mia. Isl. -

President Hopes to Greet All the
Volunteer Regiments

tOIuntecr Regiments.
HOT SPRINGS, Va, May 15.-It is the
intention of President Mckinley to be in
the Western states at the time of the re-
turn of the volunteers who have done he
roic service in the Philippines. 1t is said
the necessity for the retention of volun-
teers in the island of Luzon will not OK
list much longer, and when the volunteers
reach their native states for muster out
Mr.. Mckinley hopes to be there to greet
and honor them. If the trip to the West
already planned should not occur when
the volunteers are returning, another
journey will lbe made to carry out this
purpose. This action on the part of Mr..
Mckinley is foreeasted in a dispatch sent
to Senator Davis, of Minnesota, by Rep
resentattve Loren Fletcher, of that state,
who today presented to Mr.. Mckinley an
invitation to visit that state. Unless con-
ditions beyond the presidents control pre-
vent, he will include St Paul and Mime
apolis in his tour. Mr.. Chaplin Brown, of
Washington, D. c., acting for the Ma
tional Peace Jubilee, to be held there
next week, notified Mr. Mckinley of some
changes in the programme.
