SEABURY TO STAY
A Strong Pull Necessary to Move 1t
From Faribault.
NO NEW CATHEDRAL TO BIZ NAMED
Bishop Edsan, However, Will Use
the PrO-CathedraI at
St. Paul.

Rumors to the effect that Seabury
Divinity school will be removed to the
midway district of the twin cities are set
at rest by Bishop Edsall. According to
his idea there is no probability that such
change will occur. He believes that If
some person should devise large sum to
the church for the benefit of Seabury on
condition that it be removed to the twin
cities then it would be a matter of bust
ness for the trustees to determine.
1t Is believed in Episcopalian circles
that 1t the educational plant now at Fari-
bault had been located in the midway dis
trlct 1t would be easier to obtain funds.
The buildings are beautiful, some Of the
finest educational structures to be found,
and, in fact, Faribault is an ideal place
for Shattuck school and St. Mary's. With
Seabury it is different. The students
should have advantages offered only by
the city. ,Nearness to the university and
the public libraries of the two cities would
be an element of advantage. The prob
lem OF the disposition of the Seabury
buildings would be easily solved, for, al
though too far distant to be used in con-
nectlon with St. Mary's, they might be
used for purposes of school established
for the education of pupils too young to
enter Shattuck or st. Mary's. But it is
probable that unless the matter reaches
more than the rumor point no further
consideration will be given it. r..
Bishop EdsaI will not indicate church
in Minneapolis as the cathedral or Off
cial church Of the bishop. The diocesal
church will remain in Faribault. st.
Paul has the pro-cathcdral and Minneapo-
lis has the bishops residence. st. Glenn
ent's in st. Paul, magnificent structure
was decided to Bishop Coadjutor Gilbert
and his successors. The bishop is sup
posed to have control of the election OF
the the wardens and vestry and Rev.
Ernest Dray is his vicar. Bishop Edsal
finds the church convenient of access to
Minneapolis by way of the interurban
line and will continue the use of the
church for purposes for which it was
erected by an eastern woman of means.
Bishop Edsall says that the modern
bishop must travel. He is constantly on
the move and it is of small consequence
where his personal presence is.
The property on Portland avenue which
is to be used as the Episcopal residence
by Bishop Edsall has been decided to John
R. Van Derlip as trustee until the diocesan
convention meets next June.

IT COULD NOT MAKE GOOD
o., r- 49, ~
1t Was Held for Funds Invested in
Mortgages Which Had
+
Shrunk. T. ~.

The St. Paul Trust company announced
yesterday that it had gone into volun-
tary liquidation to wind up it's affairs.
The action was precipitated by an $135. 900
Judgment in the supreme court in the ST..
Paul Trust Co. VS.. Abigail Strong, ct al.
The company, as trustee, under the will
of Freeman P. Strong, had invested a
large amount Of these trust funds in
mortgages, owned by itself. At the time
of the investment the property was con-
sidered good, but in time Deprecated.
The trust company sought to have. it's
account allowed on the basis of the shrun-
ken values. The estate objected, con-
tending that the company had no right
to dispose of the trust funds by selling to
itself its own mortgages. c-.
The court sustained this view. -.
It Is not believed that the creditors will
suffer to any great extent. !. Besides the
judgment 1t is thought about 900 will
cover the other outs tanding obligations.
1t is understood that Hayden s. Cole,
of the law firm of Stevens, O'Brien, Cole
and Albrecht, has been agreed upon for
the presidency to succeed General Bishop
whom the creditors asked to resign.

THE FAD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
1t Amounts to This With a Great
Many People of To-day.

Many People OF To-day.
London Spectator.
Many people nowadays pride themselves
upon being fastidious. They possess, they
think, the faculty Of fastidious discrimination
In a marked degree, and not few of them
are even proud to think how wretched that
faculty makes them. They know so well
what everything ought to be that there re-
mains almost nothing which they can enjoy
as it Is. Nearly all the ordinary sources Of
pleasure are embittered, OF, rather, rendered
tasteless to them by the diligent employment
of their one talent. They like but few people
and can read but few books. The world of art
seems to- dwindle beneath their critical foot
rule, and with 1t they would drive some Of
the most enchanting OF musical composers
into outer darkness. Conversation among
these fastiddous folk has become self-con-
scious art. which can only be practiced by
those who know how-conseQuently general
society affords them very little amusement
No set is small enough to please them. They
do not care the least to talk to q stranger
unless he or she should have descended from
great social altitude, otherwise such contact
renders them liable to encounter the shock Of
the commonplace. 'tNiceness and safety
are aptly coupled together by Lord Bacon.
The cult Of discrimination, pursued for it's
own sake, will finally lead Its followers away
from all truth. They gradually lose hold on
essentials and become absorbed in details
They look at the manner and not at the man !;
at the writing not at the book; at the paint
ing, not at the picture. They sift reject
appraise, classify and differentiate till 1.-THE
world, unfathomably fair. seems duller than
a witiing's jest.

MADE GOOD RECORD
Showing of the County Attorneys
Office for the Year.
CLEAN FIGHT ON CRIMINALS
Work in Civil Branches Results IN
-..r Considerable Savings to -,
the County. ~.*

County Attorney Boardman, and his as
sistants have reason to feel proud OF their
first years record. OF the 534 true bills
returned by the grand jury, all that have
been brought to trial have been sustained
by the courts. Among the important
trials were three for homicide. These
were against Frank Hamilton, Bertha
Schilling and Reuben G. Pickett, all Of
whom were convicted and sentenced to
the state prison. The criminal cases ap-
pealed, those against Simon Brooks for
grand larceny, Daniel Scatena for perjury
Fred Briggs and ]. G. Sodont for selling
liquor on Sunday, all were sustained by
the supreme court.
The fines paid. during the past year ag-
gregated $7,S85, the largest amount COL
lected in one year in the history of the
court. In addition to this, Sheriff Me-
garden has been forced to give back
over $4,000, and has received $4,000 from
miscellaneous sources, making total of
S1S,SS5, or nearly twice as much as the
salaries of the office. In addition to this
the office has seved the county at least
$1,000 by furnishing the sheriff with cop
les Of papers for service instead of al
lowing him to make copies, and charge
big fees for the work.
In the civil work the record has been
no less complimentary. By ruling as to
what constituted legal newspaper for
Inc puDAlCfdL1Ou VI dCllu1ueuI LAX plOceeu-
ings and statements, the county commits
sioners were enabled to accept a bid
which saved the county $4,000 the first
year.
In tax matters several reforms were in
augurated. Prompt trials were insisted
upon and the custom of filing "sham"
answers and continuing the proceedings
from term to term was broken up. Sew
eral concerns which had escaped taxation
for pretended exemption were placed on
the assessment rolls. . It was necessary to
secure reversible OF former court decisions
in some cases. The most. notable civil
victory was the action brought by ]. f.
MCGEE to cancel the taxes for the special
improvements at Lake Minnetonka. The
position assumed by the county was sus-
tanned on every point by the supreme
court.
BY careful scrutiny of the bills Of the
various county officials it has been pos
sible to reduce greatly the county's ex-
penses. The fees of the coroner and
sheriff's offices have been reduced re-
spectively one-third and one-half by this
plan {

HE MAY CLING TO It.
Coroner Williams May Not Readily
Relinquish Sheriff's Office.
HE MAY CITE LEGAL AMBIGUITY
COmmi siOners Have Completed TAX
ing Evidence in the Inquiry
Affecting MeEaarden.

1t may prove just as hard to get Coro-
ner Williams out of the sheriffs office as
1t was to compel Phil T. Megaarden to
let go, even temporarily. There is
feeling among many learned in the law
that the county commissioners have no
authority to appoint a sheriff unless both
the sheriff and coroner should be unable
to serve through death or removal. The
statute giving the county board power
to fill vacancies in county Offices is held
by many to be inapplicable to the sheriff S
office, as the law plainly states that in
case the sheriff is unable to transact his
duties the coroner shall take charge OF
the Office until a sheriff has been elected
and has qualified.
Whether this means an election by the
county commissioners or by the voters
is a question which the courts may be
called upon to determine. If it is the duty
of Dr. Williams to hold the office OF
sheriff until the end of this year he would
be derelict in his duty if he did not ad-
minister the affairs of the office, and he
is not likely to err in that direction.

WANTED-A HOME ICE PLANT
Fortune Awaiting the Man Who Can
Invent One.
Casters Magazine.

Periodically the question is asked why there
is nothing in the shape Of small ice or
refrigerating machine for domestic use. That
such machine is In wide demand and would
meet with ready sale Is generally admitted,
so that to many 1t seemed all the more curl
GUS, no doubt that commercial enterprise
did not long ago undertake to solve the prob.
lem.
The whole question, however, may be an
swered by the statement that no better meth
cd of refrigeration has yet been found than
the use of ammonia or similar system,
which involves the use Of certain pressures
and certain number Of elements in the
cycle, such as compression. expansion and
condensation. regardless OF. whether the plant
is to turn out q fraction OF q ton or a hun
dred tons. The handling Of the refrigerating
cycle and the safe manipulation Of pressure
requires skill; In fact, a skill somewhat above
the average, and which cannot be expected
from ordinary domestics. It, therefore, seems
that the facts as they stand at present pre-
clude the possibility Of small domestic Ice or
refrfgerating plants, and will SO continue
Until some system may be devised differing
widely from those now In u1e. 3.

A FINE DISPLAY OF ORE
From the Mines of the 1Claude l..
Mining Company" Can BE Seen: in
the Furniture Window Of the Min
neapolis Dry Goods Company.

There is limited amount of this COM
panys stock now for sale at DC per share,
par value, $1.00, full paid and nom assess
able. On January 10th the price will be
raised to 10 cents per share. AS soon az
the limited amount now to be sold has
been disposed of the stock will not be
offered for sale again until about the first
of May, at which time it Is confidently
expected that the development of the mine
and the shipping Of the ore from the same
will by that time justify the manage
ment in putting the price at so cents per
share.
About the first OF May the company ex-
poets to erect a smelter for the reduction
of its own ore, and save the expense OF
shipping the same to San Francisco.
There Is now on the dump at the mines
more than $4,000 worth Of ore ready for
shipment to San Francisco. The shipment
of this ore will begin the latter part of
this month, and be continued until ar
rangements are made to erect smelter
ON the company's property. Work is now
being pushed both night and day.
Reports on the property, which, can be
seen at our Office, justify us in saying
that there is every reason to expect the
value Of this stock to increase very rapid
ly. Lots from 100 shares and upward
can now be purchased at &c per share.
After Jan. 10 the limited amount, which
is now being offered cannot be purchased
for less than 10c per share.
While there have been, and still will be,
many wild cat mining schemes offered to
the public, you must admit that there are
great many first-class mining proper
ties. We regard this as one Of the lat.
ter class. Investigate for yourself, and
we think you will agree with us.
Not one cent OF commission is paid for
the selling Of this stock; every dollar goes
into the treasury of the company, and is
used for operating expenses.

For fear that you may think that there is
double liability on this stock being In

Though the disbursements Of the Min

with an indebtedness of some SIS 5000, the
fact that a two-year deficiency Of $4,000

American Minister to Join British
Army for Revenge ON the Beers.
Los Angeles Herald.
Tacoma-Rev. Robert e. Barr, one of the
best-known Episcopal ministers in the state,
has sold his real estate and other property
at Whatcom, preparatory to leaving for South
Africa. He will there join the British army
as a private. his desire being to fight against
the Beers. His son was a member OF the
British army, and was killed last year In an
engagement in which the Beers greatly OUT
numbered the British. News has been re-
ceived to the effect that young Barr and his
comrades were unfairly taken advantage of.
He was the only son, and Rev. Robert Barr
has felt his loss very keenly.
Thus feeling, he now leaves this country,
probably forever, to consecrate his life to
the cause in which his son fell. He will go
to England from New York and then by
troopship to Cape Town He has lived for
two years past the rector of churches on
Bellingham bay. He will carry with him the
proceeds OF the property he has sold. using
the same for. the benefit OF his brother SOL
