A sick man who was really near
to death could not rest the temp
tation to have little fun with his
spiritual adviser. He had lin
gering malady, but his days were
certainly numbered by a few
weeks at the most. He had not
been known as a man of strong re-
ligious convictions, and yet there
was little if anything which could
be said against him. It was one
of those delicate cases in which it
is hard for the minister to do any
thing. Some one suggested to-
Rev. Paul Weyland, then stationed
at Morningside, that he make a.
call upon the patient.
Going to the house, he found,
the man propped up in bed to re- >
lieve a smothering sensation. The
sick man could scarcely talk
above a whisper, and Rev, Mr..
Weyland began to make subtle,
inquiries about his spiritual well.
fare. The invalid's answers were
all non-committal and evasive, and
finally in despair the pastor asked:
"Do you really want to go to
heaven, Mr.. Blank?'
''Do [ want to go to heavenY'
repeated the dying man in a
hoarse whisper. "Why, that's the
place I've been fighting so hard to
keep out of for the last two yearsI''

THE END OF THE FIGHTING.

The press of the entire country
is unanimous in it's approval of
the text and tone Of the address
to the Filipino people, issued by
Aguinaldo on Friday. The
general feeling is that the
Filipino commander made good,
strong losing fight, and when the
time came bowed to the inevita BILE
with grace. It is thought that
the address means a final cessa-
ton of fighting in the islands, and
the establishment of civil
government in the near future.
Upon the order of General Mac
Arthur, 1000 insurgent prisoners
were released from custody after
swearing allegiance to the United
States. The following is Aguin-
aldo's address in full:
"l believe I am not in error in
presuming that the unhappy fate
to which my adverse fortune has
led me, is not surprise to those
who have been familiar with the

gest with irresistible force that a
complete termination of hostilities
and lasting peace are not only de-
sireable, but absolutely essential
to the welfare Of the Philippine
islands.
''The Filipinos have never been
dismayed at their weakness, nor
have they faltered in following the
path pointed out by their fortitude
and courage. The time has come,
however, in which they find their
advance along this path to be JIM
peded by an irresistible force,
which, while it restraints them, yet
enlightens their minds and opens
up to them another course, pre-
senting them the cause Of peace.
"This cause has been joyfully
embraced by the majority Of my
fellow countrymen, who have al
ready united around the glorious
sovereign banner Of the United
States. In this banner they re-
pose their trust and believe that
under it's protection the Filipino
people will attain all those liberties

CASE.
The question Of securing a
pardon for Mrs. Mayblick, the
American woman sentenced to life
Imprisonment in England for the
murder of her husband, is again
being taken up, this time with
some probability of success. Dur
ing the life of the late queen, Mrs.
May bricks case seemed a hopeless
one, but it is thought by those who
are on the inside that King Edward
will be inclined to deal more
leniently with the unfortunate
woman, whom many well-informed
persons believe to be innocent Of
the crime of which she was con-
victed.
In speaking of the case to
President Mckinley a few days
ago, Henry White, secretary of the
United States embassy at London,
said that Mrs. Maybrick will
probably be released within a
short time, provided her over
jealous friends on this side Of the
Atlantic do not jeopardize her
interests by too hasty action in the
matter. Mr.. White has been
greatly interested in Mrs. May
brick for years, and is using all
his influence at court to restore
her to her friends once more. In
speaking of the matter to the press.
he said as follows:
'The worst thing that could
happen for Mrs. Maybrick is fol
some one to renew the agitation Of
her case in this country. He1
eventual freedom will be delayed
by the agitation over here" he
said. "The revival of the talk has
led to abusive letters being sent
to the English authorities by
Ipeople of this country. Ever
| Queen Victoria was the recipient
of several letters from enthusiasts
in Mrs. Maybrick's cause. I have
been working on the case evel
since Mrs. Maybrick was sent t.
prison, and at every opportunity
to do something for the unfortu
nate woman, I have exerted myself
with every home secretary in the
British cabinet.
81 have no means Of knowing
what King Edward will do, but
do not believe he will interfere in
the case. The late queen made &
strict rule to have nothing to dc
with capital cases. Mrs. May

N.Y. Mr.. Robert E:
Visits Saltwater. Lee, of Long
Prairie, formerly speaker Of the
Minnesota house of representatives
and now a member of the Board
of Control created by the last
Legislature, was a guest of Warden
Wolfer on Sunday. Upon the
solicitation Of Mr.. Wolfer, Mr..
Lee addressed a few words to the
prisoners during chapel. In the
course of his remarks he said that
the board will be pleased to receive
communications from the inmates
of this institution when occasion
warrants, but that such communi-
cations should be restricted solely
to matters of serious import and
must not be of trivial nature.
Mr.. Lee further said that he
will make it point in the future
to visit Saltwater frequently and
make himself acquainted with the
prison and those within it's walls.

HEART DISEASE CARRIES OFF JEAN
M. Jean Cain, the famous
French painter, died of heart dis
ease at Nice on Wednesday, at the
age of 81 years. The works of the
artist are almost as we'll known in
this country as in Europe, many
of his most prominent works being
owned and exhibited by Ameri-
cans. At the Chicago exposition
in 1898 collection of more than
100 of Gains paintings were on
view. His death has already Gre
ated a rise in the value of his
pictures.
