ST. ANTHONY PARK CONGREGA
TIONAL CHURCH.

A prayer by the Rev. S. V. s. Fisher
preached by President Cyrus Northrop,
Ii. D.. of the state university, upon the
text. "Inasmuch as We have done 1t to
one Of the least Of these my brethren,
We have done 1t also unto me-" the CEN
trail theme Of which was the duties i'm
posed upon church people toward those
who do not attend, among whom were
two great classes. the learned who were
wrapped up in their studies and the ig-
norant who neither comprehended nor
cared to know Of religion. The remedy
suggested was that church-going people
should not confine themselves to simply
going to church on state occasions, which
was well enough in its way. but should
go among these thousands and by deed
and word win them to the church.
The act Of dedication was conducted
by Rev. E. s. Pressy and the congrega-
ton and Mr.. Pressy gave the dedication
prayer.
The church starts in practically free
from debt. as all money not paid on the
completion of the building has been pro-
vided for by subscription.
Several gifts were made the church,
among which were a communion table
by member of the Ladies' Aid society,
also vase by Mrs. H. w. Cummings. in
memory of Mr.. Cummings. 1t was filed
with a magnificent bunch of carnations,
the gift of Mrs. Parker.
At the evening services brief congrat-
ulatory addresses were delivered by Revs
r. P. Herrick, H. A. Riser, J. H. Morley
and ]. H { Chandler.

Anti-SaIoon League With It's Recent

Anti-saIoOn League With Its Recent
Legislative Work.
The evening service at the House Of
Hope church yesterday was given over
to an ddress by Rev. j. .. JicE son, y.
D.. CT Columbus, O., In the interests of
thu Anti-Saloon league. The attendance
at the meeting was fair, and the speaker
explained the work of the league in this
and other states, and what 1t aims TO ac-
complish.
He characterized the league as move
ment looking towards non-parisan en-
forcenlent Of law, with special regard to
the sale Of liquor. In his opinion the fact
that 1t was not the protege Of any re-
ligious sect gave 1t wider scope and
better opportunity Of usefulness. The or
ganization, he explained, is maintained
for the purpose of driving out the saloons,
working principally through stirring up
a public sentiment against them and de-
feating them in popular elections, but at
other times attacking them through their
licenses and closing them through a proc
ess at law. In Ohio. where the move
ment has attained its greatest extension,
local option has been secured in numer-
Gus places, and last year the league held
1900 meetings. The churches Of the state
have been depended on for contributions
for the support Of the work, and have
been interested to the extent of $40, 900 a
year.
1.-The progress of the league In Mime
sota," said the speaker. lis exceedingly
gratifying. In the spring elections forty
six towns went dry through the efforts
of the league and the public sentiment
against license stirred up by our lee
turers, and Of these only six were dry be-
fore. We have secured the movement,
and there is prospect that it will grow
to large proportions. In our legislative
work we have killed bill permitting
the issuance Of pro rata licenses at sum-
mer resorts. and defeated q proposed
measure to do away with patrol limits
In Minneapolis. A bill to destroy the
present prohibition districts In this city
has been killed also. During the past
year the league in this state has success
fully prosecuted twenty-five cases against
saloonkeepers and toned up the public
sentiment regarding the liquor traff1o in
q remarkable degree"
After explaining that the movement was
dependent upon the contributions of the
well disposed, collection for the organ
ization was taken and pledges passed
through the congregation for tina use OF

REGORY RIFT MAY Land IT
LAST MAN TO ENTER THE FIELD
FOR THE POSITION OF
ASSESSOR
A Clerk In County Auditor JohnsOn's
Office, Who Is Said to he the
Choice of the Mayor and Three

Office, Who Is Said to he the
Choice of the Mayor and Three
of the County Board.
All previous calculations in regard to
the election of an assessor by the board
of county commissioners have been upset
by the entrance into the field as a can
didate of Gregory RIFT, clerk in the Of
flee of the county auditor. 1t is said that
certain combinations have been effected
with the assistance of County Auditor
Johnson that will land the plum for RIFT,
who is also said to be acceptable to the
mayor.
Since the discovery of the legal i'm
pediment to the election Of County Com
missioner Hardick, host of candidates
has sprung up. and although no caucus
has been held by the members Of the
board everyone Of the commissioners has
been bes1eged with applications for his
vote. Up to Saturday night appearances
indicated the election of P. c. Justus,
the former member of the board Of public
works, unless a combinationcould be eff
fected among the other candidates, of
whom the friends of August Filter. dep
uty clerk in the office of the clerk Of
courts, appeared the most active, but with
the least prospect Of success. 1t has been
understood all along that Fitzer would
be content with the position Of assistant
In case he could not secure the main
plum.
Late Saturday night, however, q COM
binatton Is said to have been effected
that will result in the retention Of Henry
Ner as assistant. and in the election Of
RIFT as assessor. Neff Is an Eighth ward
er, and, Of course, has the backing Of
County Auditor Johnson, who is said to
have united with the mayor and three
of the commissioners on RIFT. Although
the county auditor has no vote In the
matter, at the same time he is brought
into sufficiently close relations with the
commissioners to make his influence felt,
and the olive branch held out to the
mayor, in the person Of Mr.. RIFT, Is said
to have been eagerly grasped by the
executive.

The German-American Central bund.
the amalgamated organization composed
Of the different German societies Of the
city and state, held a monthly meeting
yesterday afternoon in Mozart hall
Three hundred delegates were in attend
ance from different German organiza-
tons. and the meeting represented to-
tai membership in the Central bund of
over seven thousand.
Prof William Boenisch, president of the
organization, occupied the chair and con-
Quoted the afternoons deliberations,
which were carried on exclusively in the
German language. Reports were heard
from delegations representing different
societies of the state, in almost every in
stance speaking of prosperity and &C
tivity.
A proposition was preached looking to-
wards the establishment of different dis
tricts throughout the state in order that
the societies composing the central bund
secure a representation in the meetings
Of the organization through district coun-
ellis, instead of by direct representation.
The system Of sending delegates from
each society has been found cumbersome
and unsatisfactory, and 1t is proposed to
make an arrangement whereby each dis
trfct may send delegates to represent the
interests Of its different societies, and do
the work now done by separate delega-
lions. The plan was warmly commend
ed. but no definite action was taken.
Considerable discussion was occasioned
by the action of the legislature regarding
the immigration bill, and Representative
Jacobson, In particular, was roundly
scored for his activity in working for its
defeat. The organization considered the
attitude of the senator to the measure a
blow to the state development, and char
acterized his motives as partisan and un-
worthy.
The secretary read a letter from Hon.
Carl Schurz. Of New York. extending his
thanks to the Central bund for his cleo
ton to an honorary membership

Location Is Held Far More Con-
venient to the VesseImen.
John D. Sloane, who has been appoint
ed to succeed w. r. Tibbals as inspector
of steam vessels for the Fifth. district,
returned yesterday afternoon from
Washington. He declined to talk on the
subject Of his new Office, and refused to
say anything in regard to the rumored
removal Of the headquarters of the office
from Dubuque to st. Paul. Capt. Sloane
preceded Mr.. Tibals In Office.
The Fifth district includes the states
Of Minnesota. North and South Dakota,
Wisconsin, Iowa and part of Illinois. At
the time Of the appointment of Inspector
Tibbals the headquarters was located In
ST. Paul, for the reason that there Is
twelve times as much tonnage in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin as In all the rest of
the district.
The location Of the office, 1t appeared,
did not suit the new appointee who had
formerly been a resident of Dubuque, and
preferred residing in that city What in
duences were brought to play were never
known, but at any rate Tibbals appeared
before the inspector of customs one day
and presented an order for the removal
Of the Office. The collector was asked to
observe secrecy in the matter, and the
same night the stuff in the Office was
moved out.
The first news that the local officials
received of the proposed change was
when on the following morning Capt.
Castle stumbled over large box in the
corridor of the federal building, and this
led to Inquiries. The engineer of the
building said that when the testing ma
chine used by the Inspector was removed
he was told that it was to be taken to a
shop for repairs. - 49,. ia. - ~.
Senator Davis and other Minnesotans

be made to secure the return of the

convenience, the saving of mileage and
other arguments which are patent to the
