THE WOMAN MINISTER.
She Has Come to stay In the Com
greRationaI Church.


The woman minister has come to
stay in COngregationalism. While
other denominations. like the Metho.
dists and Episcopalians, refuse 10 or
dain women, the congregational de
nomination. in most sections Of the
country at least seems willing TO ap-
prove we'll qualified women or 10 eX-
tend 10 them the same opportunities
IN the Congregational ministry that are
offered TO worthy and well educated
men. The divinity schools OF the de
nomination admit women 10 their
courses, and some Of them, like Hart
ford Theological seminary, make Il
specially OF the opportunities offered
women.
And yet it Is not likely that there Will
be such a pressure from the feminine
side Of the house into the ranks Of the
ministry as 20 crowd the men 10 the
wall Here and there man Of mod
crate ability may be set one side for a
brilliant, attractive woman, but that
would be his fate when he came into
competition with man possessing the
same qualifications.
And at any rate, as in the case OF the
law and medicine, il will probably only
be the occasional woman In coming
years who will choose the ministry
for her profession. But ii seems GER
tain that provided they possess the de-
sirable natural and acquired quallfica-
tons, women will be welcome in the
Congregational ministry at least and
find an importnt work to do for their
fellow men and women Boston Tran

THE MONEY QUESTION.
A Hard Problem with which Many
Wives Have to WrestIc.


Perhaps the first difficulty young
wives have TO encounter, as well as
the last that old wives have still TO
wrestle with Is the question Of money
Most women are by nature economical.
They watch outgo more carefully than
men do and plan expenditures more
closely. The eXtravagant women are
usually those whose lives have not
been allowed TO develop naturally, who
have been forced into an economic de
pendence and taught the joys of spend
ing. with none OF the counterbalancing
difficulties of earning But even such
women have economical streaks in the
midst OF their lavishness sort Of
spasmodic reverslon to type In spite
OF this there is In most masculine
minds a deep seated distrust OF wom-
ans financial ability, and the conse-
quence is that the world Is full OF
careful. industrious wives nagged and
hindered by careless, impulsive hus-
bands, who take TO themselves the
credit OF the wife's savings and throw
upon her the blame OF their own loose
methods. Few OF these women like 10

bands financial superlors some OF

LIND IS EMPHATIC
Congressman Says He Is Hold.

Congressman John Lind went on rec

not a candidate for United States SEN

Il would accept no Office, either APP
pointive or elective" Mr.. Lind told his
friends at the Democratic state CEN
trail committee headquarters. Il said
that l am out of politics and I~meant
just what said.''
Mr. Lind made the statement with
great earnestness and with evident
sincerity. He had been aroused by
persistent reports in the opposition
press that John A. Johnsons election
as governor, which now seems to be
practically assured, was to be used by
him in perfecting an organization IN
the state that would result in his cleo
ton as United States senator two years
hence.
But, Mr.. Lind demonstrated Frank

be invited to take a place in Judge
Parker's cabinet upon his election, 1

DELAWARE REPUBLICAN
FACTIONS AGREE
They Will Have But One State Ticket,
Headed by Lea for Governor

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 10.-After
innumerable conferences continuing
several weeks, the state committees of
the regular Republicans and the union
or Addicks Republicans tonight came
to an agreement on one state and con-
gressional ticket for the Republican
party in Delaware. Preston Lea, of
this city, who is identified with the
anti-Addicks Or regular Republican
faction, was agreed upon as the COM
promise candidate for governor on the
condition that he appoint as secretary
Of state, If elected, any one of three
men whose names the union Repub-
licans will present to him. The two
committees will meet on Wednesday
morning to select the candidates fo1
the remainder of the ticket. 1t also has
been agreed that the union Republic
ans shall name the candidates for lieu
tenant governor, insurance commits
sloner and congress, and the regulars
shall name the candidates for attorney
general, state treasurer and state audi
tor.
All the candidates on the union
ticket have resigned. in fact their ,resig-
nations have been in the hands of the
state committee for some time. DR..
Joseph H. Chandler, the regular Re-
publican nominee for governor, was
quoted today as saying that he did not
propose to resign. 1t is believed, how
ever, that he will withdraw because the
regular Republican state convention
adopted a resolution giving the state
committee authority to make any
changes in the ticket it deemed neces-
sary in the interest of harmony.

SAYS IT is PARKER
Senator Clark Asserts He VIII
Garry Montana and Idaho

Montana and Idaho are certainties
in the. Democratic column, and Judge
Parker will carry both, not by small
majorities, but by good round figures
that will show the verdict of the peo-
pie over the high-handed manner in
which the Roosevelt administration has
attempted to carry on affairs, said
Senator w. A. Clark, of Montana, at
the Ryan hotel yesterday morning.
Senator Clark has been on a flying
business trip to the East, and stopped
off in st. Paul only long enough to
take breakfast in the Ryan cafe and
meet few personal friends who knew
of his coming to the city.
''The entire outlook" he continued,
"is perfectly satisfactory to the leaders
in both states, as we'll as the entire
country. Taggart has proven himself
the right man in the right place, as
chairman of the national committee.
He has performed his duties in a man
ner highly satisfactory to the party
leaders, and the talk of supplanting
was entirely premature.
Both Montana and Idaho are strong
~ Democratic. Mr.. Toole, the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor in Mon
tana, will be elected by an overwheln-
ing vote, and will do much to aid the
national ticket. The same is true Of
Idaho"

BUCHANAN is CARELESS

Sixth District Congressman Said to Be
Promising Jobs to Many

Congressman Buchanan, of the Sixth
district, in the hope of saving his po-
litical scalp, is said to be promising
patronage now held by Republicans
appointed from his district to other
Republicans not yet cared for, and if
he is not found out before the election
he may make it work successfully for
votes.
Cleve w. Van Dyke, the able Alex
andria young man who has taken UP
the gauntlet with Buchanan, was in ST
Paul yesterday, and said that he had
discovered a place where Buchanan had
promised a minister in Douglas county
a teachers berth in the Philippines
now held by one of his constituents,
and doubtless there are other offices
now filled by Mr.. Buckman's friends
which will be promised to men not yet
cared for. The issue in the Sixth dis
trict will be made the question. of the
control of the trusts by the federal
government and political and business
honesty of candidates for office.

Gov. Van SAINT. who returned yester-

Gov. Van SAINTS decision to speak only
outside. of Minnesota indicates that Mr..
Dunn's campaign will be conducted
without their counsel or assistance.
The governor will go to Iowa on
Wednesday, where he will speak dur
ing the remainder of the week. The
following week he will speak in In
diana the full six nights, and his en-
gagements until the end of the cam
paign will be in Indiana, Illinois and

sofa. He had attended a reunion of
the Ninth Illinois regiment at Chicago

ATTORNEY GENERAL
Is AFTER GALLICK
Attempt Viii Be Made Today
to Remove Him From
Office

Henry Gallick, court commissioner
for Ramsey county, is to be given an
opportunity to show the Minnesota SUI
preme court by virtue of what au-
thority he holds the Office the functions
of which he has assumed for some
years, and for which he is a candidate
for reelection.
Papers have been prepared in a quo
warranto proceeding, which will be
presented to the supreme court today,
in which w. j. Donahower appears as
relator, and Mr. Gallick as respondent.
The state of Minnesota is the plaintiff.
The writ will be made .returnable at the
convenience of the court and the par
ties. David F. PEBBLES appears as att
torney for the re1ator.
The proceeding attacks Judge Gall
lick's eligibility to hold the Office of
S24, title 10, General Laws of 1894. are
cited in support of the contention that
because of educational deficiencies Gall
lick cannot continue to act as court
commissioner
The laws of Minnesota, cited in the
petition, require that a court commits
sioner must be learned in the law. The
constitution of the state provides that
in all offices other than supreme and
district court judges may be held by
any elector,s but the law creating the
office of court commissioner gives him
the powers of district court judge in
chambers, and on this point Mr.. Pee
bles expects to win his case.
A court commissioner Is quite often
called upon to~act in the capacity of a
district judge and when SO acting his
judicial acts have the same effect as
those of a judge in chambers. The
emergency which calls court COM
missioner into judicial service is usu-
ally of a nature requiring the exercise
of sound judicial discretion, and
much will be made of this point in pre-
senting the argument to the supreme
