DR.. Forbes on John Wesley.

DR.. Robert Forbes lecture at the
M. E. church last Monday night was
delivered in his best vein. He came
over from Cambridge in the forenoon
with Elder Clemans, having attended
the dedication of the M. E. church at
Cambridge on Sunday. DR.. Forbes
is very busy man in his new duties
as assistant secretary of the M. D..
church extension work, but he took
time to come over and deliver the lee
ture purely for the benefit of the
Princeton M. E. society. There was
not large crowd present, not as
large crowd as there should have
been to hear such fine lecture as DR..
Forbes delivered. It was probably
his last visit to Princeton, at least for
long time, and those who were for
tunate enough to hear him tell of the
life and character of John Wesley will
not forget it for long time to come.
The topic would be a most dry one
for most speakers, but DR.. Forbes af-
ter a very interesting Introductory
took up the life work of the father of
Methodism and beautifully and grand
ly pictured John Wesley's life and
character. His treatment of the SUBJ
ject showed his natural gifts as an
orator as we'll as his great mastery of
the art of oratory. Greater men
than DR.. Forbes have appeared on
the lecture platform with much less
effect and power. A dash of poetry,
a powerfully pictured incident, MINI
icry, droll remark that causes
laughter, and ere his audience has
scarcely composed itself he has it en-
veloped in tender pathos. Now he
shows. his audience the picture of an
ideal American boy, with innocence,
but proud and Independent spirit, and
then beside this picture he paints one
of sweet, noble old woman whose
wrinkles look prettier than the blush
ing face of bride in all her lowell
ness.
When he had finished telling of John
Wesley and had told how nobly and
how like child the great man had
ceased his life work and gone to his
Maker, not person was there in the
house who did not feel lifted up to the
higher things of life and who did not
get a vision of the glory and nobility
of true living.
Mrs. Cooney favored the audience
with two solos during the evening, one
before and one at the conclusion of the
lecture.
DR.. Forbes work calls him to all
parts of the country. He goes east
this week to attend several meetings
of the Methodist church and will ap-
pear at some of the leading Methodist
churches in the east. During the win
ter months he will remain in the south
in attendance at the conferences of the
Methodist church in that section of
the country.

Potatoes Eighty Cents at Red Wing.

ooAAoS
Potatoes are not SO very plentiful
on the local market at the present
time. However, the local merchants
all have supplies of the tubers. and
it is believed that the price will go
down instead of going any higher.
1t was reported some time ago that
there was going to be a big shortage
in the potato crop in this section of
the country, but it now seems that the
report was false, as large quantities
of potatoes are being brought to the
market every day.
Some of the tubers are of a very
good quality, while others are soft
and show the effects of the continued
wet weather before they were removed
from the ground. They are now SELL
ing at so cents a bushel.-Red Wing

This character given to Lord Salisbury
az handy man was corroborated by visit
to Hatfield House. Every room in the
mansion bears evidence to the old noble
mans fondness for pottering about with
tools and his remarkable ingenuity in
using them. Hatfield House differs widely
from the average English country seat
In being as well equipped with modern
conveniences as a good American hote.
Lord Salisbury is Conservative in poll
tics, and still more conservative in social
matters, but he is thoroughly progressive
and up-to-date in bis private life. He has
designed and fitted up several dumb
walters and electrical conveniences to lessen
the work Of his servants.
He was the first nobleman in England
to use electric lights at his country house.
He installed the plant himself taking ad-
vantage Of stream that runs through his
park to get water power. The best cleo
trical engineer in England could not have
done the work better than this aged states
man, who stands in the front rank Of scien-
fists in the domain Of experimental physics
Lord Salisbury has never recovered
from the loss he suffered in 1899 by the
death Of his wife.
Like most Englishmen. he is reticent
about the feelings OF his heart. He makes
no parade of emotion. But once. at a
church meeting at Hatfield held to pay
honor to local philanthropist who had
died, he spoke OF the sorrow which had
come into his own life.

work done at this pace consists in the
repairing of shoes left by women shopping

and get the shoes to carry home. repaired.
The whole business Of repairing shoes
while you wait is comparatively new. 1t
has all sprung up within twenty years.
The first shop OF the kind in New York was
in the Bowery, with man at work in the
