AT THE CHURCHES
Revival Meetings At The Methodist
Church Now In Progress.

Church Now In Progress.
Rev. R. L. NJ. Campbell, confer
ence evangelist of the Methodist
churches has been holding a series
of gospel meetings at their church
in this city assisting Rev. Mccain.
The meetings have been in progress
for over week, but have not been
as successful as was hoped, but a
good effort has been put forth and
much hard work done. Rev.
Campbell is forcible and logical
speaker and does not go at old
satan with kid gloves on and has
made many friends here, and his
meetings have been fairly well
attended.
At The Catholic Church.
Last Sunday morning Father
Godschlax had mass and Sunday
school in the afternoon, and also
had mass every morning at 8:15 the
past week. At the Sunday morn
ing services Mr.. and Mrs. Hani-
phan, had their little daughter,
Irine, christened.
1t was decided on last Sunday
that they would have the church
shingled and later would do other
work on the interior to make the /
edefice more attractice.
At The Baptist Church
Rev. Clarke, Evangelist, of |
Montana, who has been assisting
Rev. Rogers, of Hagerman, and

revival meetings held in Picabo

past two weeks with very good
held services in the Bap-
ist church last Sunday. At the
service a fair congregation

pleasure to the we'll delivered

HERE is a move in some north
ern journals to have the length of
the daily school session shortened
and school tasks lightened for the
children. 1t is contended that five
hours-the usual time occupied by
the daily sessions Of schools too
long for young backs to bend, and
for young eyes to strain, and for
young brains to study over school
tasks. Bad effects in impaired
health, strained eyes, or weakened
mental faculties are charged
against the present school system,
aud an earnest effort is being made
to bring about a reform. Such
ideas will doubtless seem strange
to those who still believe in a
school that "takes IN" at eight in
the morning and "lets out" at four
in the afternoon, with one hours
intermission at noon. Still, that
is the way many leading educators
regard the subject today.

This will be Mr.. Powers fourth read

that can memorfze the principal roles in
a score of different plays, and can pres
eat every role as though he were born

paraphernalia at his command. He does
lightful, and effective that he wins
wherever he goes; and every re-appear-

Mr.. Powers has been impersona ting

not grow old and every reading is bet

CRAY VERDICT GOOD
JUDGE KELLY REFUSES NEW
TRIAL TO CITY RAILWAY
COMPANY
MoToRMAN WAS NEGLIGENT
Court Approves the Award of So, 100
for killing of Little Charles

Upheld.

Judge Kelly filed AM order yesterday IN
the case of Henry NJ. Gray, as adminis-
TRAITOR OF the estate of Charles H. GRAY.
deceased, against the st. Paul City Rail-
way company, wherein he denies the de-
PENDANTS motion for Judgment in its ia
vor notwithstanding the verdict and also
the defendants motion for new trial.
This action was for the purpose of re-
covering damages for the death of the
| siX-year-old boy, Charles H. Gray, who
was struck by street car about $3.50 on
the afternoon of Jan. 49, 1901. at the
point where Oakland avenue, Ramsey
street, Garfield street and Pleasant ave-
nue. come together
The plaintiff had a verdict for $2,750
| that being the second verdict in the same
amount
The court, in his memorandum filed
with this order, reviews in detail the es-
sentia1 circumstances of the accident and
| presents sketch or diagram Of the scene
of the happening.
The principal contention of the defend
ant as to why the verdict should not
stand, was that the evidence failed to es-
| tablish any negligence on defendant s
| part, causing the injury: and the allega-
ton of counsel on that point was that
the deceased child ran suddenly into the
trailer car after the front car had
passed.
In discussing that feature of the case
the court, in consonance With a portion
Of his charge to the jury, which was
challenged by counsel, holds that mas
| much as the motorman had testified that
he had seen the deceased child and his
little girl companion coming down the
north side of Oakland avenue and ap-
prca ching the crossing 1t must follow
that had he exercised due diligence he
wctld have operated his car With caution
at this Point; and that had he glanced to
| the left instead of straight ahead-as had
| been Stated-when he came to the cross
| ing he must have seen that the children
were there and dangerously near the
| track.
The court lays stress upon the idea that
| the motorman should not have expected
Of the children the same discretion as he
would of mature persons and should have
| regarded them as children and not as re-
| sponsible persons.
AS to the question Of the damages be-
| ing excessive the court says that he
knows of no way to assess damages of
| this nature better than by the judgment
of twelve honest men of affairs, and in
| this case twenty-four men have reached
| the same verdict.

compelling this have been introduced
with fair success of passage. 1t will be
fully as effective, however, il the school
officers can be brought around to take
this view of the question.
One of the. circulars being sent to
school officers goes on to briefly relate
the Conspiracy against the real hero Of
the battle of Santiago, and the present
hero of the American people, and lays
particular stress upon the findings of
Admiral Dewey, and the Statement by
Gen. Miles. 1t says that so far as the
American public of today is concerned
this action. is unnecessary, for Sch1ey
is loved and honored by the American
people, and the opinion of Dewey is &C
cepted as the voice of the, people. But
a generation hence the public sentiment
of today will not be felt as it is now,
and the future historian may take his
facts from the majority opinion of the
court of inquiry. Therefore, says the
circular, it is important to instill into
the minds of the young the fact of
Schley's glorious victory, and by incorpO-
rating it in the public school textbooks
It will become imbedded in the thought
of the growing generation throughout
the country, land thus justice will be
done and a great wrong thwarted.'

men of the West said yesterday: I'VE

publishing firms have been confronted
with this problem already, and are pre-
pairing for it. So far as I know, none

history give Admiral Sampson credit for
the battle of Santiago. If the present

that none Of the future texts will give
