PRESIDENT Northop OF our State
University used the following words
ia u address delivered in Boston
last June at the Jubilee convention
81 Young Mems Christian associations
with US in the University of
Minnesota where not many Of the
students are wealthy and many are
dependent on their own efforts for
support in greater or less degree,
the Christian Association welcomes
the new student when he comes a
stranger to the University; it helps
him to find a home suited to bis
means and proper for him to live in;
it Surrounds him at once with pleas
ant friends who help him to shake off
the pn-creeping Inconsistencies of tho
first days; it relieve Ills pressing
needs by temporary loans that shall
be- speedily repaid; it finds en-
ployment for those who must DO
something for their own support. It
furnishes free clssses in which stud
ents deficient in preparation may bs
trained without expense; it cultivates
q spirit of benevolence among it's
members. doubly necessary where
education is free aud students are
not rich where there is danger OF
forming the habit of getting every
thing free-salvation and every
thing else. 1t gathers the new stud
ents into the Bible classes, the pray
er meetiugs, the social meetings. 1t
calls to it's aid the best talent it can
get in the University or the Twin
Cities to make addresses. It gives de-
lightful receptions, to which the
whole body of students are invited. 1t
keeps open house with books and
papers where.all may rest or work as
they choose; and it seeks in every
way in it's power to make it's mem
bers more manly, moro loving, more
earnest, more Chrjst-like, and in
all this work it meets with good de-
gree of success" A work of similar
character is done by the Young
Women's Christian Association.
Correspondence is solicited with
irrespective students; a hand book
of general information will be sent to
those who apply to the General Sec
rotary of Y. M. G A. or of tho Y. w.

Device to Assist Engineers In
Carrying out Train Orders.

Device to Assist Engineers in
Carrying out Train Orders.
IT'S wonderful device that tho
Milwaukee road is experimenting
with Tor the purpose of assisting the
engineer in carrying out train orders
1t is suspended in the cab of the loco
motive and makes it impossible for
him to forgvs his orders; in fact it
carries them out fot him. If, for in
stance, he should receive orders to
stop at a station to meet train or for
any other purpose, say thirty two mi.
les down the line, he would set the
device at thirty one miles, and when
that point is reached the automatic
machine blows The whistls aud when
at thirty-two miles it stops the engine
without the aid ri the engineer. Be-
sides this the little machiue works a
cyclometer, telling an engineer juet
how. far he has run, and no matter how
dark or foggy the hight he can fix at
a glance the exact location OF his
train.-Fairmout Sentinel.

Tramps Capture q Train.
But They Decalnp Before Reach
ing MankvtO.

Sixteen tramps captured freight
train No. 20, northbound, on the
Omaha road at Madelia last night,
and they held down the box car until
Lake Crystal was reached. There
they decamped. It is reported that
Conductor ". Decker had revolver
pushed into his face with the state
ment that the gang was going to ride
and he had better not modest them.
Betweenil2 aud o'c'ock this morn
iog Chief of Police Bowen received
word that the train was coming and
he should have bis officers at the de-
pot ready TO meet an armed mob.
When the train pulled into the
station, however, there was not
hobo in sight.
Chief Bowen and Officer Kinghern
went through the railroad yard and
rou;ded up two tourists who were
pea"efully sleeping in freight car.
They were taken to the police station.
One of the couple put up the claim
that he is printer.
Conductor Decker, when first en-
countered by the hoboea, refused to
start his train, and commanded the
tourists to "hike." One burly tramp
pointed revolver at Decke', and
ordered him "sell his pape's and
start the train" AS it was late at
night and help was out of the ques-
ton the conductor concluded that
discretion was the better part OF valor.
The train moved on toward the north.
1t is said that everyone OF the
tramps was provided with revolver,
and bad the trainmen made any'show
of resistance there would have been
serious trouble.-Mankato Review.

A SMASH TO THE POLE
ADMIRAL MAKAROFF'S PLAN OF CON-
QUERlNG NORTHERN ICE.

Russian Naval officer Proposes to
Cut n Way Through with His Pow
erfuI Ice Crusher. the Ermak-His
Distinguished Services.
Heretofore seekers for the north pole.
and they have been many, have as
rule varied little in their method of
procedure. Most arctic explorers have
sailed as far north as they could get.
hoping to find the open polar sea sup
posed to exist, and then have given up
the attempt after their vessels had
been frozen in. Others have adopted
the same plan. but when they found
that their ships could proceed no far
Their have attempted to dash to the
pole on sledges or otherwise. Without
exception all have found the polar ice
an insurmountable barrier to their
hopes, and their attempts to dash
through the icy portal of the hypothet-
ical end of the world have come to
naught.
But now comes another pole seeker
who announces that he is not afraid OF
the ice and who hopes to find the pole
in spite of it. He is by no means an
idle visionary, but naval officer OF
skill, experience and exalted rank. Vice
Admiral Makaroff of the Russian navy
believes that with his ice crushing
steamer, the Ermak. he will be able to
force a way to the pole next summer.
His plan, briefly stated, is to smash an
open way with the steel Prov Of his
ship.
Vice Admiral Makaroff has long had
in mind the idea of thus forcing a way
to the pole. In 1896 he was in this
country examining the ice breakers on
our great lakes. He expressed himself
then as favorably impressed with our
ships, though it is not thought that he
embodied any of our ideas in his own
ice crusher In 1898 the Armstrong
yards. in England began work on the
Ermak after Admiral Makaroff's plans.
In the spring of 1899 she was complet-
ed and was Immediately put to work

land She met with great success in
various parts of Russia and was then
sent in July, 1899, farther north. The

A IuNKSHoP GUN.

During the recent Chinese trou-
ble," says the Philadelphia Press,
Gunner Joseph A. Mitchell of the
cruiser Newark was stationed at
Picking when the trouble was at its
worst and when Picking was hot
bed of revolt and defended the lega-
lions with an old gun resurrected
from a Chinese junkshop. The gun
afterward became famous as Betsy,
the international gum It was
mounted on an Austrian gun car
riage and Italian wheels, with the
trail made from a beam taken from
the British legation. 1t fired Rus
sian cartridges and Chinese balls,
nodded on the ground by a British
smith. It was cared for and loaded
by an American gunner. The very
first shot splintered a Boxer barri-
cade. As a ruse, Mitchell moved
the gun from place to place, giving
the impression that half dozen
guns were in action. He operated
the gun up to the very day Picking
was relieved and escaped unscathed
until the troops were in sight of the
city, when he was wounded in the
arm by a chance bullet.
