Yhe Brainerd Arena thus mentions
Duncan Clark's female MINISTRIES who
appeared in that city this week:
1t matters not that the jokes were
somewhat risque, that the costumes
were diaphanous, that there was an
unwarranted display OF lingerie or
that the few women who were there
when the curtain went up, left the
hall after the first act, it was prob
ably as chaste and refined per-
Torrance as one would care to see.
The ladies of the company were ex-
tremely beautiful, their dresses mag
nificent and their singing SO ex-
quisite that the audience, which was
a large one, was simply entranced.
The press notices spoke OF the COM
pany as being rotten egged out OF
Winnipeg but it must have been
another company as this one was as
refined as could be wished and the
Gardner management is to be con-
gratuled on being able to secure
such a splendid attraction.

further east. The Beers confronting
Lord Roberts appear to have gone to-
ward the Lydenburg region. The de-
tenders Of Laings Mex, when their posi-
ton becomes too perilous, will probably
trek straight northward towards Lyden'
burg. When this concentration takes
place there will probably be 10000 men,
who may hold out for time, or scatter
into bands of guerrillas elsewhere.
The press dispatches from the head
quarters Of Lord Roberts give no esti'
mate as to the number Of Beers who
were fighting General French and Gen
eral Hamilton Monday and Tuesday,
but they all agree the Beers retired and
the British casualties were slight.

Spanish Influence.

ISl50 duu It'll! 1rOSFeSS duU TetfO-
gradel Ascendency and decline!
From the beginning of the world
such has been the history of nations.
Out of primitive barbarism a tribe
surrounded with natural advantages
slowly gains an ascendency over it's
neighbors. Perhaps it's ingenuit y
has constructed some new and in
vincible engine of war. Or, perhaps
one of it's leaders with superior in
telligence has matched strategy
against brute strength and has
gained the day. The tribe having
conquered a great territory ceases
for a time it's warlike operations
and settles down to the peaceful
vocations of domestic life.
Commerce springs up and trading
interests increase. Here the speaker
stated how the minds of people are
broadened by contact with stran-
gers, how literature is developed and
how prosperity increases until the
highest degree of civilization is at
tained. But, he says, after centuries
of prosperity the morals of the ma
ton become corrupt. Officials be-
come grasping, avariciOus and
deceitful. The nation falls into the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS demagogues
and begins a rapid decline. Another
nation rises out of obscurity, holds
a. similar brief sway, and in time
falls and is lost sight of. So through
the annals OF history.
Mr.. Terrell then reviewed the his
tory of Spain beginning with the
sixteenth century. He told of her
wealth, influence and prosperity at
that time, and of the position she
held in relation to other countries.
He spoke of the facts leading up to
the discovery of the new world.
How Spain's greed for gold led her
people to brave any danger. They
suffered hardships and privations,
they fought and won desperate con-
flicts and their ambition was still
unchecked. Their hardness and
courage command our admiration
but not our sympathy, for they were
the ruinious of imperial Spain,
marching to conquer in her name
and to impose her hateful yoke on
yet ano4her people. Their right was
the right of might, and their God was
the gold of the Aztecs. Four hundred
years have passed since the conquest
and behold the Mexico Of today. 1t
is hard to believe that prosperous
and powerful kingdom once flour.
ished in the same land. That q
people once dwelt here of superior
intelligence and unrivalled pros.
perity; that Mexico was the Rome
of the western world. And this is
but a single instance of the blighting
touch of Spain. Today we need but
to point to Cuba, Porto Kico or the
Philippines for evidence of Spain's
blasting influence. They have been
relieved other yoke. But the seal
still remains and 'these silent, sullen
peoples, half devil and half child
bear eloquent testimony to the cruel
effects OF her sovereignty. Institu.
lions such as Spain supports must
sooner or later lead to decay. Since
her defeat in the Netherlands hel
decline has been steady and sure
From the proudest of the nations
she has fallen among the lowest.
The tyranny and oppression she
imposed upon others has come home
to her with no doubtful force. Hel
once broad dOminiOns have rapidly
fallen away and on the land today
there rests the curse Of her conquered
millions.
