President Ncrthrop, in his comments
on the action of the Massachusetts lnstl-
tute of Technology and Harvard Univer-
sity in permitting the drinking of beer
and wine by s:uden hts gathered in certain
social meetings, takes precisely the cor
rect ground. He does not undertake to
decide the course of chose institutions
for them, but he says positively that as
a general proposition there is no rea-
son why a university should assist young
men in acquiring the taste for intoxi-
eating liquors. To dignity beer drinking

A meeting of the examining physician

A meeting of the examining physicians
of life insurance company in st. Paul
last evening led to a comparison Of Nor
tally statistics i'll the two cities. It
was shown that the typhoid fever death
rate in minneapolis is much larger than
in st. Paul. The best Minneapolis doc
tors could do was to insist that persons
likely to take high-priced life insurance
do not drink city water, SO that they are
not subject TO that disease, so far as the
polluted nature of the city water con-
tributes to it.. This was direct admis-
sion that the well to do can protect them
selves while the poor suffer the conse-
quences. # the trades council would take
up this matter in the interest of the
working people Zen whom the cost of
suitable drinking water-spring water OF
distilled water-is an unnecessary bur-
DEM possibly they could induce their rep
resentatives in the council to take some
interest in the matter Of pure water.

Rev. DR.. n. D. Hills of Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, made long statement in regard to
the charges of plagiarism made against him
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, which has printed
quotations from his sermons to show their
similarity of thought and language to the
writings of Henry Ward Beecher and Profess
sor David Swing. Dr. Hills says that he has
been the object of persistent persecution by
enemies in Chicago, who have even gone so
far as to mail pamphlets attacking him to the
members of his church. LAS to the general
subject he said, Il must refer you to my
own books and those OF Mr.. Beecher and Pro-
fessor Swing. The people here know every
word and lire that Mr.. Beecher has ever ut
tered, and you must Judge for yourself
have nothing to say. I confess, however, that
sometimes wonder why the minister who
leads a fairly decent life can be exploited by
anyScrook or criminal that comes along For
minister is like a woman. he must not be
talked about, and the senator's statement still
holds. He who is doubted Is damned"

DEAD IN A CELLAR WAY
An Unknown Man Found Dead as
the Result of a
Fall.

When Ed Williams, the engineer of the
building occupied by the Dime Museum,
First avenue and Washington, opened
the door of the basement leading to the
alley in the rear at II o'clock this morn
ing, he was astonished to see the body of
q dead man lying across the door: He i'm
mediately notified the police and Deputy
Coroner Harry Irvine was notified. The
body was removed to the county morgue.
The man had apparently fallen into the
cellar way and received injuries to his
head which resulted fatally. When
found. he was lying with his head against
the door and his feet on the steps above
He had apparently been dead about twelve
hours.
There was nothing in the mans pockets
by which he could be identified although
the police believe that he was a man en-
ployed by the city as an ash hauler. Sew
eral memorandum books found in his
pockets which bore the addresses of diff
ferent persons residing in the northern
part OF the city, seem to bear this out. In
his pockets was found $3.50.
The man was about 5 feet inches tall
and weighed about 100 pounds apparently
about IS years at age, and wore sandy
mustache. He wore working clothes.
There Is no suspicion of foul play.

3. NO MONEY FOR CURE
Farmer Spends Drink Cure Fund in
a Last Riotous Time.

Charles Morton, a South Dakota farmer,
came to Minneapolis last week, to take a.
course in a local drink cure esta blishrnent,
but returned to his home last night with
out having accomplished his purpose.
His mind was changed. not because he
doubted the success of the treat ment, but
simply because he lost the money which
he intended to pay for the treatment.
Morton came to. the city last Saturday
and concluded that as he was going to
take the course. and was going to quit
drinking forever. he would have one last
drunk before bidding adieu forever to the
sparkling glass. He started out by visit
ing several Of the down town saloons and
then finally went to the tenderloin dis
trict. While In that section of the city
he@Het some colored people and when he
got over his drunk he found that he did
not have cent to his name.
He reported the matter to the police and
told the officers that he had lost over
$500. Detective Rhoades was detailed on
the, case but was unable to find any clue
to the persons who got Mortons money.
