Tomorrow afternoon at Adelaide Park
the Brown baseball team will play it's first
game OF the season against one OF the

the hill that Brown will win. But most
Of the home nine will have to field and bat

Mike" Lynch goes into the box, and
will certainly do his share In the game.
The whole student body will go out to
the game tomorrow, and will do their best
to show that they support their team.
The Sophomore class team tomorrow is
scheduled 10 play Groton school at Gro
ton, Mass This will probably be a hard
game, but as 1905 has a good hitting and
fielding team they ought TO make good
showing.
The freshmen also play tomorrow. They
will take trip to Pomfret Centre, Conn,
where they will play the Pomfret school.

A STORY is being told of an at
tempt made by Swedish mis-
sionary to obtain foothold in Ably
ssinia. No sooner had he began to
preach than he was brought before
King Menelek, who asked him why
he had left his home in Scandin-
avia in order to come to Abyssinia.
The missionary promptly replied
that he had come to convert the
Abyssinian Jews, who are regarded
as fair game for the outside prop
agandist. "Are there no Jews in
your country?" asked Menelek.
The missionary admitted that
there were a few. "And in all the
countries that you have passed
through did you find no Jews or
heathen?" the king continued.
Jews and heather, the missionary
admitted, were plentiful. ''Then"
said Menelek, carry this man be-
yond the frontier, and let him not
return uutil he has converted all
the Jews and heather which lie
between his country and mine.
We think we hear the walls of
the benighted in Ethiopia and
Thibet, but the voices of the.
damned around the corner are
drowned by the melody of our
church bells. We assume a res
possibility to the foreign heather
and scorn the actual responsibility
in own own country. Collections
for foreign missions should be alb
olished and collections for the
natives of the slums of all large
cities should be in order.

CHURCH MATTERS.

Rev. II. Logan, after four years of
successful church work in this city
departed Tuesday morning for the
Conference meeting Which convened
in Duluth this week and from which
point he will be assigned a new charge.
During the four years Mr.. Logan
has been pastor here many beneficial
changes have taken place in the in
terest of the M. E.. church. His eff
forts have been untiring and his labors
have been crowned with success.
The church building has been re-
modelled and improved until now it is
one of the finest edifices north of Du-
luth. A handsome parsonage has been
built and other improvements made.
The congregation has increased yearly
and recently the commodious church
building has been almost too small.
He twas popular with all classes, be-
ing liberal minded man and the
church did not suffer through his
popularity. Mr.. Logan leaves the
charge with expressed regret on all
sides.
We commend him to the cOngrega-
tion where his next lot may be cast
and trust conference may see fit to
send Ely gentleman equally as learn
ed and popular.

The Presbytery of Duluth closed
very successful meeting Of two days
in the Presbyterian church on We'd
nesday evening.
The sermon by Rev. NJ. s. Axtell. of
Sandstone, Tuesday evening on '.The
Essentials of True Religion" was an
earnest effort to show that ITO do
Justly, to love kindness and to walk
humbly with thy God" is the very
heart of religion.

The business sessions were taken
up with the reports of the different
committees. The new church at
Hihbing was enrolled. Nearly every
church in the Presbytery is now sup
piled by regularly ordained ministers.
Reports from the different fields in
dictate that strenuous battle is being

the Presbytery.

BIG PETRIFIED STUMP.
Nne In Colorado That In Twenty Feet
in Diameter and Ten Feet
High.

The petrified stump of gigantic
redwood tree, which is in an almost
perfect state of petrifaction, is at
Florissant. not far from Cripple
Creek. Col, says the Wide World
Magazine.
Although numberiess people have
taken specimens from this stump ag-
gregating many tons, it Is still esti.
mated to weigh fully 440 tons. To
give better idea Of its size it may
be well to state that it is 20 feet in
diameter and ten feet high.
There, have been many attempts to
dig it up and place it upon exhibition,
the last being scheme to exhibit It
at the great exposition.at st. Louis
in 1904. Owing to its great weight,
however this had to be abandoned,
as there are no railway cars. capable
Of carrying anywhere near its weight.
What, perhaps, makes it more of a
curiosity is the fact that this Rocky
mountain region is q country Of
small trees, and that there are no
giant redwoods within a Thousand
miles of this stump which goes to
show that nature has changed the
entire vegetable growth of this sec
ton, as nothing requiring the semi
tropical heat of aredwood tree would
grow at this altitude now.

WORLD NEWS AT SEA
Atlantic Liners Will Probably Soon
Be Issuing Daily Papers.
The First Experiment by which Pas
sengers Are Given the News OF
the World Made Aboard the
Cunnrder Lucanfa.v

Amongst the advantages of ocean
travel has hitherto been reelxoned the
absence Of the morning paper, but
the progress of science bids fair to
rob the traveller of this boon. and
although the announcement of
Ocean Daily Papers, when A4s APP
peared in the press, is as yet prema-
ture. The day may not be far distant
when morning and evening papers
will appear regularly on board the
big ocean liners.
Such an innovation would undoubt-
eddy add to the pleasures Of travel, and
especially for such as had large BUSH
ness interests which depend for sue
cess or failure upon the turn Of the
market. When the time comes that
ships at sea can be kept in constant
communication with the mainland the
manipulators of the stock marker will
become better patrons of the ocean
transportation lines.
1t is now some two years since the
Cunard Steamship company began to
try the Marconi system of wireless
biography, with a view to simplify.
ing navigation, and minimizing the
risk of accidents. The first expert
ment was made on the Lucania, and
the success achieved resulted in the
remainder of the passenger vessels
being fitted likewise. 1t was not,
however, till this year that the idea
of printing and publishing the small

was entertained.

An Oklahoma man once told an
India thata desperate white man was
after his scalp. He smiled and shook
his head, relates the Kansas City
journal. A few days later we were
talking TO the white man, when the
Indian came up TO join the group.
He had spotted the stranger and
knew him by sight. Without saying
a word TO him he walked up within
arms reach and struck the white
man in the face with a rough, heavy
glove. He paused for few seconds
and hit him again. "Ugh!" he ex-
claimed as he wheeled around and
walked away. The white man looked
at the Indian in amazement, but
made no show of resentment. Later
in the day, when we asked the Indian
why he didn't follow up the insult
with blows, he told us the white man
was coward. In explaining how he
knew it he said the mans Jaw drop.
