TAKE A BOLD STAND
SACRED THIRST SOCIETY SEES
TROUBLE AHEAD.

The Sacred Thirst Total Abstinence So
ciety makes the bold threat that it win

against certain officers who, they think,
are not performing their whole duty with
reference 10 the saloons in the city.
The society held a meeting yesterday
afternoon at Crctin hall, and VIII lie the
Iept ezentation was numerically small. the
interest in the purp oses Of the organiza-
ton was strongly manifest The eXecu-
tive committee presented through its pre-
siding officer a long. but somewhat in
formal. report, setting forth the progress
made toward law enforcement since last
May when this work was actively ana
system atically taken up.
Thc report Of the committee was to the
effect that sslOonkeepers have been
found violating the law as to closing at
midnight and on Sundays. and many IF
them in the matter Of selling liquor to
minors. 1t was stated in the course Of
the report that the efforts of the society
had resulted IN stopping the sale OF
liquor to minors to some extent, bat that
some dealers still continued the practice.
Members of TIE committee, it was stat
ed. had conferred with attorneys with
reference to closing the saloons The ad-
vice of the attorneys was generally to the
effect that it would he practically I'M
possible at present to bring about the
closing Of the saloons at midnight and
on Sundays but that the sale,of liquor
to minors could be stopped. 1t was
taCitly agreed that for the present tire

other purposes which ta1 been under,

CHILDREN IN DANGER
PRACTICE or WADING IN THE RIV-
Err SHOULD PIE STOPPED.
Child Fails in tI.e Water Yesterday
and Has Narrow Escape
From Drown
ing.

Parents residing on the West side in
the vicinity of South Robert street, Fill
more and Fairfield avenues, should not
be surprised some day to hear that one
of their little Cnes had been drowned in
the river.
1t has become a practice of children TO
cross the dam leading from the west
shore of the river to the small island
east of the Robert street bridge, near
the Waterous company's establishment,
and wade a few feet out into the water.
Not infrequently, since the tide has be-
gun to fall, have children ranging from
five to twelve years of age, been seen in
water to their waists near this dam. 1t
is always difficult and often impossible
to gauge the depth of the water and
swimmers frequently find that very near
a shallow place is a ''step-off," WI ere
the water is over their heaus. 1t does
not require very deep water to reach
over the head OF a child between tie
ages mentioned, ana that the river is.
that depth and moro in tine neighOOrhOOd
of this dam was demonstrated to some
reckless little chaps yesterday afternoon
There were perhaps a half dozen Of
the youngsters wading from the bank to
the island on the dam, which IS not more
than five feet wide. One little fellow top
pied over into the water, and by tie
merest dint Of luck some Of his youth
full companions, older, however than
himself, managed to drag him back to
the dam.
1t would be not at all singular if the
same little fellow or another such per-
sistent one. topples over when assis Sance
is not within reach. Parties standing on
the Robert street bridge yesterday wit
messed the exciting incident with bated
breath, fearing that the child would not
be recovered until it was too late.

CAME NEAR BEING HOT
SUNDAY WAS WARM, BUT TODAY
WILL BE COOLER.

Residents of St. Paul Yesterday began
TO lear that the predictions made by tie
government weather bureau We're not in
fallible, and that a return of the hot wave
which ,only disappeared a few DAYS ago
was Imminent This apprehension was in
creased as the day progressed up to tie
latter part Of the afternoon While the
thermometer did not approach the high
mark reached during the hot spell, the
sun warmed up and sent down some very
penetrating rays. The atmosphere be.

everybody was able to retire in perfect

TIE predictions for today are thunder

1t is obvious from this that as far as the
government bureau authorities are able
to judge the day will not be any warmer
than yesterday, and not quite so warm.

enthusiastic bather, and before his
friends knew it, almost, he was under
the tide. With great alacrity one of the
party reached the frightened man, and
grabbing him by the leg, pulled him
safely into port. 1t should be said 10
the credit of the rescuer that the man
who was about to drown was nearly AZ
broad one way as the other, while the
hero was constructed upon precisely the
opposite plan. This made the task Of
salvation all the more difficult.
In relating the thrilling experience to
some friends a short while afterward the
newspaper man, habituaIly elevating his
arms as if to gain relief from the weight
OF his coat sleeves, eXcitedly remarked:
THAT is the first bath I ever tried 10
take in my life, and by the immortal
it will be the last one, too, and don't
you forget it."

SAYS REST is DUTY
REV. BENZ. LoNGLEY ADVISES HIS
PEOPLE TO TAKE
VACATION
MEN WORK LIKE PRISONERS
Pastor Finds 'scriDtural Basis for
His Injunction to Temporarily
Abandon Worldly
Pursuits.

The Sun mer Vacation was the sea-
sonabIe topic upon which Rev Benjamin
Longley preached yesterday morning at
Central Park M. E. church, taking for
ms text Christ's Injunction to his dis
clples: Gene ye yourselves apart into a
desert place, and rest awhile as related
in the gospel according to st. Mark,
CHAPTER 6, verse 81
Man, the pastor said, is a creature of
extremes, and apt to do either too little
or too much. This, he thought, applied
particularly to the secular Yocations and
professional life. There were the In
dolent on the one hand, and the too
active on the other. AS appropriately eX-
pressing the condition of the latter he
quoted the couplet from Hoods Song
Work work, work, from weary chime
tic chime,
Work, work, work, as prisoners work for
crime"
Some professional men" he said,
work more strenuously than prisoners
are compelled 10 work for their crimes,
as the necessities aud conditions under
which they work are different. The pris-
oner is required by the authority of the
law to work and is not overtaxed, while
the professional man who is impelled by
the necessity to hold his own and guard
against being outstr1pped by his neigh
pors is too prone to tax his capabilities
beyond a Reasonable limit
Inns same criticism, he thought, might
also Ge justly applied to home and social
lie, Tor great deal of the money spent
is not lor the purpose of making the
nome more homeliKe or promoting the
best forms of society so much as for the
sake of competition with ones neighbors
mat sort of fOolishness wUld not be so
deploTable except for the fact that when
these luNurlcs are not bought with the
money of others they are bought by
money earned by working as a prisoner
works for orime.h
These observations the pastor made a
background FOR the thought that rest is
as much dutydas labor; and as much
a part OF TIE divine plan. AS an exempii-
hcatlon of'that he directed attention 10
the lcsson%of Christ taking his disciples
apart INTO 2the wilderness to rest, noting
the fact That it was not for a lack of
work, but'lunder' d special pressure Of
work - III
Then giving his discourse a direct ap-
plfcation to the lives of the members Of
mis- congregation, he proceeded to advise
those Of them who could to deslst for a
time from their too absorbing pursuits
lie did not advocate the idea of working
fof--eleVen months or more at highest
pressure and then ccasing all work, but
Favored that plan rather than no rest at
all. He advised all who could to get
away from business for time and those
who could notleave for a continued peri
Oh to take as frequent excursions as
possible INTO the country. Ard to those

Help.

Arthur Dngle, seventeen-year-old son
of Joseph Dingle. of 121 East Isabel
street. was drowned in Mantomedi bay at
White Bear yesterday afternoon at 6
o'clock
Young Dingle and his brother had been
in bathing and Arthur got into a step
off where the water was over his head.
Not being able to swim, he could not
recover himself and foundered around
in the water Until he sank for the last
time. The brother was unable to save
the drowning boy, although he exerted
every effort in that direction. The sight
of the perishing youth graspirg for Sue
cor from his brother and the vain stTug-
gle of the latter to give the aid so des-
perately needed was pitiful indeed Inc
youth went down gasping and crying for
help.
In a rowboat a short distance from the
fatality Miss Elsie Nicols was enjoying a
ride on the bay. She was attracted to
the scene by the loud and pathetic APP
peaIs OF the two brothers and the con-
tinued cries of the enc after Arthur had
disappeared below the surface of the wa
tor The young woman heroically bent
to the oars and with a speed that might
have aroused the envy Of a skilled boat
man, reached the scene of the sad disas-
ter, but too late to render any assistance.
1t would have been a physical impos5i-
bility to have reached the spot in time
to have helped save the youth,
Efforts We're a once made by Miss
Nicols and the heart-brcken brother TO
locate the body, but, although the water
was not thought to be very deep in that
particular place, they were not success
full. Additional help was secured, and
within about thirty minutes the BODY was
found and taken ashore. 1t was removed
to the Nicols residence near by, where
DR. Morley and Miss CahoOn, a profess
sonal nurse, who CHANGED to be at the
residence, undertook TO revive the young
man, working on him for over an hour,
but their efforts were not awaiting.
