PHILLIPS BROOKS.
Rev. Wm, Mitchell EuIoqiZes Him
as Manly Christian.

HE was great as bishop, great
err still as a preacher. but greatest
of all as a pure, Christlike man. !
This was one of the closing SEN
tences in Rector Mitchell:s s. lecture
on Phillips Brooks atsthe Episcopal
church last Sunday evening.
Mr.. Mitchell read his carefully
prepared eulogy of the great divine
from manuscript, bntthis did not pre-
vent his holding the close attention
of the crowded audience from the
opening biographical sketch to the
closing summing up of his life work.
Born at Boston of Puritan paren-
tage, Phillip Brooks was educated
at the public schools and subse-
quently at Harvard, completing his
theological studies at the Episcopal
institution at Alexandria, Va, be-
fore the civil war. It was here
that his gospel work was begun
among the colored people. His
first effort was regarded by him
self as a failure, bu. persisting in
his earnest way he soon had the
humble little school house crowded,
and after taking priestly orders,
was settled in q small church at
Philadelphia, His zeal and elo
quence could not be hid in the con.
fines of a local parish, however, and
soon after he was called to the head
of Trinity church in his native city
of Boston, where he remained. till
his elevation to the bishopdom, only
year and half before his death,
at the age Of 81. AS a man he was
large in body, mind and heart, and
won the love Of people OF all creeds
and conditions. AS preacher he
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-11-21

was intensely loyal to his Mast,r
and his country, as we'll as to his
church, and his broad church views
drew no little criticism upon him
from brother clericals of his own
denomination.
Phillip Brooks was a poet as we'll
as preacher, and his literary work
includes a number of volumes which
have a wide circulation. One of
his hymns was sung, in connection
with the evening service.
Rev. VIM. Mitchell was one of
four ministers ordained as priests
during the brief career of Phillip
Brooks as bishop. In his lecture
Mr.. Mitchell stated that it was DR..
Brooks who first prompted him to
enter upon the ministry while he
was student at Harvard, where
the doctor gave regular lectures in
the college chapel. Aside from his
talents as preacher. the winning
and commanding personality and
the irreproachable life of Phillip
Brooks had endeared him to a null
titude Of people, and he evidently
had few warmer or more enthusias-
tic admirers than Mr.. Mitchell him
self.

INJUNCTION EVIDENCE.
Judge Webber Will Pass Upon John
Clark, Jr.'s Application.

The November term of the dis
trict court adjourned last Friday
morning, the last case on being the
application of John Clark, Jr., for
an injunction restraining August
c. Burmeister and the appraisers
appointed by the court from going
ahead with the work of appraising
land. something already completed,
and erecting the proposed dam
across the river in this city. The
case was distinctly a court case,
and the attorneys on either side
got in as much evidence as they
could and thought would be bene-
| fetal to their case. This will be
Transcribed by the stenographer
and passed up to Judge Webber,
with the probability that he will
render a decision in the same in the
course of month or six weeks. A.
E. Clark OF Mankato is the attorney
for his brother, and Messrs. Pierce
& Harriott are the attorneys for
Mr.. Burmeister.
AS was stated last week the ap-
peal cases were all adjourned over
until the January special term,
pending decision in this case,
which, if favorable to Mr.. Clark,
will render null any further pro-
ceedings in the other cases.
Mr.. Clark attempted to get in
evidence that would prove that Mr..
Burmeister did not intend to use
the dam for water power purposes,
and that a dam of much less heighth
would be just as beneficial to him.
| Mr.. Burmeister was the sole wit
ness on this point, and he made a
| good witness for himself, testifying
that the larger the basin the great
er the pressure, and that he intend
ed using all of the power for the
purpose of operating his mill, and
increasing the capacity of the same.
Mr.. Clark also attempted to show
that there was collusion on the part
of Mr.. Burmeister and citizens Of
Redwood Falls to bring about the
erection of the dam, more for park
purposes than for power purposes,
and while all of the witnesses ad-
| mitted that the dam would assist in
making nice park and pleasure
resort, they contended that the
main object was for power purposes,
aud that what would happen after
the dam is completed was not known
to them at that time. Several Of
fthe signers Of the joint note with
Mr.. Burmeister were called in to
testify as to why they signed the
note, and they all stated that it
was for the purpose of assisting
Mr.. Burmeister in acquiring his
easements and going ahead with
the construction of the dam.
During the taking of evidence
Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Clark INDUCED
in tilt. Mr.. Pierce was anxious
to have the testimony in SO that
Judge Webber could leave at l
o. clock. Mr.. Clark replied that il
Mr.. Pierce would sitzdown the evi-
dence would be in by that time.
To this Mr.. Pierce objected on the
ground that Mr.. Clark was too
young to make him sit down. Judge
Webber interposed an objection to
the proceedings and carried his
point. Mr.. Clark was ordered to
get down to business.

SHE HAD A DREAM.
SAW THE HOUR or DEATH ON THE DIAL.

This is her story the true story of a
well known resident of Springfield. She
believed, as so many women believe, that
fate controlled her life, her fortune, and
her future. She had been unhappy long
time. She had suffered long time. She
had vai11ly sought help here, there, and
yonder Day distressed her. Night no
longer refreshed her, but brought only
fitful slumber haunted by frigl1ful dreams
II was the hand of fate, she said. She
grew pale, fretful. haggard and tired of
life. She drifted, drifted on into that wild
errless of woman's woes that has driven
thousands of her suffering sisters to the
verge Of self s-ructioli. Finally she came
to look upo. 1eath alone as source of
relief ST. hoped for it; longed for it.
She courf d the fateful hour One night
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1900-01-27

she awoke with start She dreamed that
when the hand on the dial of the clock
should point to the trird hour of morning
she would die Often she had suffered
agonies and wished for death, but now-it
was so sudden, SO near, SO very near In
that moment life became inexpressibly
dear How long had she to live? With
cry she sprang from her bed and ran to the
clock. 1t lacked ten minutes of three.
Only few minutes more OF life with
frenzied haste she grasped the hand Of the
clock and pushed it back, back, back from
the fateful number. Then she stopped
and almost swooned-but no, the tick of
the clock should not make a coward of her.
She would die at the fated hour-fate had
decreed it.. but a few moments still re-
NAMED In that time she would take
leave of those dear to her. Rushing to
her writing desk she seized her pen and
attempted to write a note of farewell. It
was useless. Words failed her. The blank
sheet swan before her. Despairingly she
turned her eyes from it to newspaper that
Law near at hand. In an instant her gaze
riveted on the letters which were therein
printed from Mrs. Anna Tuggle, of Cherokee
City, Ark, Mrs Emma Snyder, of Anies,
Iowa. and Mrs White of Stony Greek, N. Y.
The reading of these letters brought new
hope, new desires to live. She would
make one more effort. She also would
turn back the hand of fate and become
healthy, happy woman. That very hour
she began the struggle. That very morn
ing she began to use DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, and to-day there is no happier
wonlan--no happier wife and mother-in
all Springfield. This one woman is type
of thousands who suffer and submit in
silence to the appalling fate which they,
too. consider inevitable. For them all there
is hope For them all there is help.
Let them resolutely turn back the hand
of fate, that, according to their over
wrought imaginations, is stretched out
against them. Many woman to-day is
suffering constant pain and sees the hand
of death on the dial of time who could be
saved to useful, happy life, if by some
means her attention could be drawn to
the wonderful cures of wonan's ailments
wrought by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, The difference between DR.. Pierce's
treatment and all others is the difference
between
EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE.
A woman naturally shrinks from the
experimental treatment which involves
questionings and examinations that are
repugnant to her delicacy and offensive too
her modesty, and which at best result in
mental misery and physical patchwork.
And so she silently endures her suffering
rather than submit to examinations and
local treatment.
Wonders are worked by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Nature is always
struggling to build up the wasted and worn
system. - But she cannot make bricks with
out straw The " Favorite Prescription y
supplies the material that nature can use
to repair the waste Of the system and re-
new the vitality of the debilitated organs
When this is accomplished health comes
along natural channels and comes to stay.
