BY AIKEN & SCHMAHL.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. I, 1902.
A CONVENTION PERSONNEL.
That of the 10Th Annual Convention of
the Minnesota w. c. 7. U.

If the greatness of an organization
be judged by the individuals who
compose it, and the test Of large
and enthusiastic gathering be in the
impression it leaves behind, then
this convention of the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union, in
session in our city last week, was a
pronounced success, and notable
gathering in many respects. In the
retrospective glance one can but
marvel at the strength and sweet
ness and the harmonious 'all-round-
ness" Of its leaders which has made
erything move along in such COM
pleteness, without trace of tric-
ton, and at the same time caused
great results to be accomplished.
Foremost among the women for
whom Redwood will hold deep loye
and admiration, is the State Presi-
dent, Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovell,
a woman whose gracious dignity,
ready tact, winsome personality
and mental power to grasp and
hold all points,. quickly wins her
way into the hearts of her listeners
Mrs. Scovell belongs to Minnesota.
She is a graduate OF the State Uni
versity, has been a teacher in the
State, was for some years editor Of
the white Ribboner, and presi-
dent of the Us. As presiding Of
ticer she has few peers, and she
rightfuIly holds place in the fore
most ranks of the National Vice
Presidents. Minnesota women are
justly proud of their president
Close beside Mrs. Scoyell in this
convention and in popular apprecia-
tion in the National, stands the still
young president of the North Da-
kota W G. T. o., Mrs. Elizabeth
Preston Anderson. All who heard
Mrs, Anderson S evening address
at the convention, and saw her
throughout allits sessions, with her
wise and witty remarks and ready
helpfulness, must recognize her well
developed intellectual power, her
keen perception, aud superior ora
torical ability.
Louise E. Hollister, too, is dis
tinctively Minnesota girl. Edu-
Gated in Minnesota schools, teach
er for many years in the Duluth
high schools. president of the Us,
secretary Of the State Loyal Tenn
perance Legion, and until this year
State vice president, she has been
Mrs. Scovell's right hand. = She
leaves the State work this year to
take up her larger duties as Ma
tional Organizer.
Some one was overheard to re-

mark of Mrs. Belle Welch, State
Recording Secretary: Her bright
sunny face is so good to look at. l,
makes one feel there must be some.
thing glad and satisfying in the W,
C. T. U. work. The thought is an
index to her character, and much OF
the harmony OF conventions and of
the State work in general is due to
her wise management and systemat-
ic methods.
A visitor, to the convention was
impressed with the strong, peaceful
face of the newly elected vice -presi-
dent, Mrs. Kate Kerchllr, a woman
of great abilities and power, and
feels that Mrs. Scovell has in her
an able assistant.
The sunny face of Ella F. Hendrix,
too, is one that never fails to attract
even the casual observer. AS Corr
responding Secretary she is an in
dispensabIe part of the State s'on
the throne and :'behind' it.
Perhaps no one of the convention
personals has left brighter memo
ries than Mrs. Allene G. BayreH OF
Argyle, the efficient president of
the 14th district, and State organ
izer, Her appearance on the plat
form or as speaker from the floor,
whether in making the collection
speech, giving reports of excellent
work done in the Northern part Of
the State. or in mere suggestions
and comments, is invariably greeted
with closest attention and apprecia-
tive applause. Mrs. Bayrell has
just received the nomination as SUI
perintendent of schools in her home
county. Redwood will remember
her as one of the brightest, keenest
lights of the convention.
Our people will not soon forget
Rev. Marion Darling of Detroit City,
and Mrs. Satella Penman of Rock
Rapids, Iowa, distinguished guests
of the convention. Rev. Darling,
who is pastor of the Detroit City
Congregational church, won all
hearts by her winsone presence,
earnest conservation, and her help
full words which lifted one to realize
greater possibilities and to believe
far greater victories
Mrs. Penman holds high place
as one of the best speakers Of the
convention. an able, talented woman
whose words carry their own con-
viction of truth, whether she speaks
| of the crying need and duty Of a
Sabbath of rest, or so beautifully
administers the sacred oath of Office
to newly elected officers.
Last in the list which limited
time and space will allow us to note,
but greatest Of all in the work and
IN our heartsso great that even
the smallest cannot envyis Mrs.
Isabel Wing Lake. National Supt. Of
Rescue Work. Perhaps no woman
in all the ranks Of National workers
has won more lives 10 the upward
path Of Righteousness, rescued more
lives from sin ssand the downward
road to ruin of character. and made
| the way Godward more possible.

One whose commercial and financial
Euews and market reports are admitted to be
s1he best,
One that is fearless and fair in it's
editorial discussion of live topics--republi-
eran but independents;
One that contains Bart's cartoons.

willing that such woman should bear
to suffering moTtals a message from
God that is to dispel the anguish of
the ages. The discoverer of Christian
Science is and has been just such
woman, and her absolute fitness for
the mission entrusted to her has been
manifested by its work of healing and
reform unparalleled since the time of
primitive Christianity.
81 represent. just the difference be-
tween live man and dead man be-
cause of the discovery of Christian
Science.
81 am on this platform tonight in
stead of lying in a grave in Chicago
only because of Mrs. Eddy's enduring
faithfulness in making these things
possible.
"As one among a million of bene-
f1ciaries of this endeavor, l would be
less than man if l did not blend my
voice with the others who are with
sensible gratitude acknowledging the
ministry of Christian Science.
Coming before you to-day as man
comes TO his brother man with a
message of hope and deliverance,
have nothing whatever to ask of you,
not even that you will bestow your ap-
proval on Christian Science or believe
what l say simply because l say it.
l am not here so much to ply you with
discussion and entreaty as l am to tell
you that we are escaping from dismal
depths of woe, and to utter the hope
that if ever you are stricken and desc
late because of disease; if you are ever
stricken and desolate because of dis
ease; if you are ever frantic with pain,
or cast down by the tumult of sin, If
hope turns to ashes and despair en-
thrones itself because of the supposed
hopelessness of your lot, you will re-
member that Christian Science prom
ises in the words of its discoverer to
cure all thy sorrow and sickness and
sim. 1t promises to bring to pass the
prophecy of St. John, And God shall
wipe away all Tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain; for the
former things are passed away"

INFLUENCE OF THE CHURCH.
EnveIoPed Mankind From the Cradle
to the Grave.

Prof. John William Draper. author
of ''The Intellectual Development of
Europe" has this to say about the
church:
"Never in the world before was there
such a system. From her central seat
at Rome, her all-seeing eye. like that
of Providence itself, could equally take
in hemisphere at a glance, or exam
Inc the private life Of any individual.
Her boundless influence enveloped
kings in their palaces, or relieved the
beggar at the monastery gate. In all
Europe there was not q man too oh
scure, too insignificant or too desolate
for her. Surrounded by her solemn
ties, everyone received his name at her
altar; her bells chimed at his mar
riage; her knell tolled at his funeral.
She extorted from him the secrets OF
his life at her confessionals, and pun
ished his faults by her panances. In
his hour of sickness and trouble her
savants sought him out, teaching him
by her exquisite litanIes and prayers
to place his reliance on God, or
strengthening him for the trials OF life
by the examples of the holy and just.
Her prayers had an efficacy to give re
pose to the dead. When even to his
friends his lifeless body had become
an offense, in the name of God she re-
ceived it into her consecrated ground.
and under her shadow he rested till
the great reckoning day.
From little better than slave she
raised his wife to be his equal, and,
forbidding him to have more than one.
met her recompense for those noble
deeds in firm friend at every fireside.
Discountenancing all impure love. she
put around that fireside the children OF
one mother, and made that mother lit
tie less than sacred in their eyes. In
ages of lawlessness and rapine, among
people but a step above savages, she
vindieated the inviolability of her pre-
cincts against the hand of power, and
made her temples refuge and sanctu-
ary for the despalring and oppressed.
Truly she was the shadow of a great
rock In many a weary landi
"The civilization of Europe, so far IA
1t has yet advanced, has been accom-
pllshed by the agency of many differ
ert causes, foreign and domestic, but
among all these the institution of the
Christian church stands pre-eminent
by reason of the moral power it ex-
erted, its duration and the social bene-
fits il had conferred"

FIND NEW USES FOR NEW FURs.
Russian Pony Skins for Motorists
White Ca1fskin for Miniver.

thiEskiu ioH
Russia is sending us a couple of
very novel pelts, the skins of ponies
and of calves, for making motor-car
dresses and coats and for the Rus
sian blouses wealthy women are wear
ing SO much this winter. The skins
of the ponies are not very large and
are forwarded, names and all, to the
furriers, but so far the names have
noC been made useful. Perhaps the
toy trade will eventually profit by
them and the fiery nursery steeds of
the rocking horse and Gray Dobbin
persuasion be equipped with the long
silky hair of these creatures.
Any one who has Travelled in Russia
will know the pale. tawny shade of the
native pony. almost lion-like in color.
1t is also the commonly met hue OF
the little Scandinavian horses driven
in Norway almost exclusively and
much seen. too, in Sweden and Fin
land. The skin dyes brown and a
lovely jet black most successfully
and is so strong that it rs uncommonly
suitable for rough-wear wraps. Nor is
1t outrageously expensive. A Russian
blouse made of it comes to eight and
half guineas.
The Russian calf makes very pretty
snow-white coats, tufted with black.
and charming revers, cuffs. ties and
muffs for cloth redilgotes. To some
eyes this pelt will resemble miniver.
says the London Mail, but there is
huge monetary difference between it
and ermine, as well as a, visible one,
especially as miniver. which is really
ermine tufted with the black tips of
the tails only instead of the tails
themselves, is daily going up i'll price
in view of the coronation and its re-
quirements.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON.
FISCATEDs IN NEW YORK.

Judge Clarke of St Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number OF
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity
OF stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped 1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets OF in
furious substitutes in place OF whole
some baking powders.
AS alum costs only tvs cents
pound. there is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation geeds, to use
1t. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health Authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper. whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of the people rs ina
portant, cannot make a chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however. from the fact
twenty cents for q pound can. or
that some prize-like spoon OF
glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware-is given with the powder ~ an
inducement.
AS the people continue 60 realize the
Importance of this subject and con
sumers insist on having SaAing pow
der Of established name and charae-
ter, and as the health authorities con
tinue their vigorous erusades. the
alum danger will, 1t rs hoped. dnallg
be driven from our homes.

DANGEROUS CASTE SPIRIT.
Denounced in Strong Language by
Bishop Potter.

Bishop Henry C. Potter of New
York, in his second address of the
series on the responsibilities of citi-
zenship at Yale, discussed the subject
of the relation of the citizen and the
capitalist, and argued that 1.-THE pan
acea for the labor situation is not any
particular method or plan, but greater
confidence between employer and EN-
ploye. between capitalist and laborer.
and disregard of any caste distine-
uons. Almost the worst enemy of hu-
man society is the spirit of caste. and
the tragic element in the constitution
of our modern society is that under
forms of the government that profess
long ago to have abandoned II, it stin
appears in forms more insolent and
mischievous than any it has previously
assumed; that while we may be pa
tient with the caste spirit when 1t sur
wives as a product of earlier ages OF
tribal distinction, or feudal tradition.
or distinguished ancestry, or social
culture, it becomes, when we see It.
as too often we see it today the mere
incarnation of material possession.

Largest Gun In the World.

The biggest gun in the world is now
practically completed and awaiting its
carriage in the shops of the army gun
factory at Watervliet, N. Y. 1t was
planned ten years ago and has been
over five years in process of construc-
tion. 1t is the most powerful engine
of destruction known. When compared
to it the largest gun built in the civil
war times looks like a toy cannon.
This new weapon is known as a 16-ineh
breech-loading rifle and it is intended
for harbor defense. Forty of these
monsters were recommended by the
Endicott board for the harbors of New
York, Boston, San Francisco and
Hampton Roads. New York was to
have IS, Boston s, San Francisco 10
and Hampton Roads 4. According to
present intentions this number will
be somewhat reduced.
