PRESIDENT NORTHROP'S DECLINATION.

Minneapolis Journal, April IL
President Northrop of the university
received his commission from Secretary
of State Hay as delegate from the United
States to the conference of all-American
states, which Is to be held in the city
or Mexico, next October, this morning,
ana at once declined In reply to the
secretary, mailed today, Dr. Northrop
said that he would be unable to act as
commissioner at the conference because

which institution Dr. Northrop was grad
uated, and in whose faculty he served
for several years before coming to Min
nesota, will be held on Oct Il or e. The
conference In Mexico City will be held
Oct II.
The declination was expected If not
hoped for. by his many friends In the
Northwest. The history of the appoint
ment is well known. At the earnest solic-
itation of his friends he had permitted
his name TO be used in connection with a
place on the St. Louis fair commission,
believing that the Northwest should have
q representative in the management OF
an exposition of so vital concern to all
the states included in the louisiana
purchase, the anniversary OF which was
the occasion of the fair DR.. Northrop
had received almost positive assurance
that he would be appointed, it having
been given out repeatedly that the pres
ident considered his name very favorably.

New York Evening Post.
There died recently in Minnesota
an uno6trusive man, who had
spent nearly all his life On bis
forty-acre farm in La Crescent, but
who had accomplished for his state more
OF practical worth than hundreds who
nave earned fame. On that forty acres
John s. Harris devoted himself to fruit
raising with an enthusiasm and tuteUI-
sence which made him foremost among
the Few whose efforts disproved the as
sertion that fruit could not be raised in
Minnesota. He won nearly all the prizes
for apples at the first Minnesota state
fa1r on fruit gathered from imported
trees. And when these trees, after years
or expensive nurture, persisted in dying
out" he carried to a successful issue
the raising of new orchards from seed
Hngs, and assisted in the development Of
new varieties which are found to thrive
as well in the state as did the old inl-
ported favorites in the Eastern states.
The traditional benefactor caused two
blades Of grass to grow where only one
grew BEFORE" but Mr. Harris made It
possible for Minnesota people to have a
dozen apples where they might otherwise
nave mad only one. Very properly It Is
proposed to build him a monument

congratulation alike that the authorities

to referee and remanding the case for
new trial before jury of twelve honest
men.
It is at this juncture that the case be-
gins to become interesting.
The only defense that Mrs Gould has
to the action of the plaintiffs is that the
gowns did not fit. Inasmuch as the
gowns were made for Mrs. Gould, the
only question for the jury to determine
is whether the gowns do or do not nit
her figure. It is a question whether this
IS a case where expert testimony can be
allowed. Should 1t be allowed 1t must be
given with the gowns and Mrs. Gould
before the jury so that the twelve hon.
est men may be able to comprehend the
bearing and determine the weight of the
experts opinions. To this end Mrs Gould
will be obliged to appear in open court
arrayed in the gowns in question, one at
a time, and be revolved like a show win
dow dummy before the gerry, and when
they have made sufficient examination
of the gown as it appears on the form
for which it was intended, the court STEM

to be preserved among the niles of the
case. If there be more than one gown

Or. coNATY ON CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

DIR. C0NATY OK CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
The Rev. DR. Conaty is not only one OF
tho leading educators Of the country.
but, to all who know him, he is recog-
nEod as one Of the ablest minds among
the leaders of American thought. His
address delivered before the meeting of
the trustees Of American Catholic col
leges will no doubt be found to represent
the most advanced thought on the sub
ject Of which he treated; for DR.. Conaty
is not only a great thinker but he is
well in advance among the progressive
Spirits of his time.
It is circumstance remarkable in
itself that, as pointed out by DIR. Conaty.
there have been $25,0OO 900 spent by the
Catholic community in the maintenance
OF elementary schools during the past
year exclusive of the moneys devoted to
scholastic instruction in the higher in
stitutions. 1t is, moreover, remarkable
in that such an outlay could be deemed
necessary in the training of American
citizens, at whose disposal are all the
facilities of the free school system. It
is not needful here to consider the sig
nifcance of the circumstance In any
particular direction. But the fact is
none the less certain to give thought to
all who are to be regarded as students
of the American school system or of
American social institutions.
The influence of the free secular public
school. which the Catholic educators find
in their path, is strong one. The
wonder, indeed, is, in view of the great
facilities which it offers to the children
of the poor for a sound education virtual
ly without expense, that the Catholic
schools and colleges have been able to
hold such remarkable grasp on the
children of Catholic parents. 1t isA no
