CLERICAL WIT.

Sam Jones is not an elegant preach
er, but he is positive and forcible.
When / asked him what he thought
of high-license preacher, like DR..
Crosby, he hissed out: "a high
license preacher won't be in sheol ten
minutes before Satan will have him
saddled and bridled, riding him around
and exhibiting him as curiosity u

said my grandmother, 1.-The ordinary
colonial preachers were afraid to de-
nounce the aristocrat. But when they
asked Lorenzo Dow, the old gray

Burr, he faced wood full of people
and said: Aaron Burr mean man
Why, I could take the little end of
nothing, whitfield down to point,

Moody, the great evangelist, often
used wit with his theology. Once an
agnostic went to Moody on the train
and tried to open theological wrangle
with him.

where eighteen thousand were eating

you believe that, Moody?"
"Now, my brother" said Moody,

that the Bible doesn't say anything

How private charity is dispensed by
the wives of New York's rich men
would make story worth reading.
In every case nearly it is done on a
systematic basis. So unostentatiously
in this charity dealt out that the pub
lie knows nothing of it. Very often
paid secretaries. look after appeals for
assistance, but in several Instances
private almoners are employed, whose
sole business it is to answer appeals
for help. One wealthy woman keeps
regularly employed several trained
nurses, whose duties are to investi-
gate cases of destitution, make per.
sonal inquiries as to the sort of help
needed, visit the sick and keep them
supplied with food and medicines.

FIGHT GRADE CROSSINGS
MONSTER PETITION FOR THEIR

eth the heart consider it? And he that
keepeth thy SOUL doth not he know it?
cording to his worksQ-Proverbs xxlv,

This highly pertinent biblical quota
tion is cited in the petitions TO the cOun-
Gil now going the rounds, for the aboli-
ton Of grade. crossings. The petition
prepared by the Rev. E. P. Savage, was
to mass mdSetag IN south n
heartily approved. It is now circulat-
ing in several copies and thousands Of
names will be secured before these are
presented to the council. /.
The petitioners employ the quotation
to indicate to the aldermen that they
have ample authority to relieve the
people from the constant menace of
grade crossings, ".that have already
levied their bloody tribute upon the
lives and limbs of 50 many of our citi-
zens.'
Altho the movement started in South
east Minneapolis, no specific mention is
made of the crossings in that part of
the city, as the opinion is that the
movement should be general.
Hope is expressed that the steam
and street railway companies will
heartily cooperate with the council tc
separate the crossings, so that the &C
cidents which come with awful fire
quency may be prevented, It is no
to be considered, but the expense ant
delays to traffic in. slowing up an
stopping for the crossings, which an

The Present Commission Will Act Until
This Work Is Done-Bill Drafted to
Help Good Roads Movement Mining
Interests Not Seeking Legislation
This Session. W

It is not likely there will be a bill
introduced at this session Of the legis-
lature for the creation Of commission
to take charge of the new capitol. Such
a bill has been talked Of, but Senator
Hitler II. Horton of st. Paul, who has
introduced most Of the bills relating to
the new capitol, says such a law would
be superhuous at present. 1t is esti-
mated that the final detail work on the
rounding grounds, cannot be finished
for at least two years. This. means
that the old capitol commission will
have charge for this length OF time and
hence the creation of permanent COM
mission would serve only to bring into
existence state board with nothing to
do for two years.

general approval in the sanity city.
1t is a measure duplicating the Mime
apolis law permitting payments OF as
sessments for public improvements III
installments. Under the present law IN
St. Paul, payment Of such assessments
must be in a lump sum and often comes
very hard on those Of small means.

CEIVEs FINAL QUIETUs.
Judge Lochren Issues an Order for the
Final Distribution Of Funds Among

Seemed Feasible, but It Failed Thru
It's Own Weight.

With the decision handed down by
Judge Lochren yesterday, directing

ball, receivers, to distribute $297,-
630.69 among the creditors Of the
United States Milling company, comes
the end Of one of the most unsuccessful
attempts at trust formation recorded in
the commercial annals OF the country
In November, 1899, the United States
Milling company, organized April ~
preceding, made application to list it's
stock on the New York stock exchange.
With the application appeared the
statement Of the company. It repre-
scented $12,5OO,OOc preferred stock,
$l2,5OO,00O common stock, and a bond
promoters had got together, to that
time thirty four of the big milling com
had been t'trusted'' and flour trust
was on at last. Duluth, Milwaukee and
other western milling centers figured
heavily in the list Of properties. Min
neapolis, was IN with the eh Mi Rea,odr
Standard and St. Anthony mills, and it
was expected that the other big mills
here would be taken in after q short
time. z.. g..
The idea of a flour trust never was
popular. People talked of it as a bad
| L01nQ. "A powerful Mluu6dpOllS
paper fought it. The promoters found
themselves working along hard row.
| The first body blow was landed upon
| them on Sept. %, 1899, when the stock
had a great fall. The death of Charles
A.. Pillsbury about that time was the
reason given by the directors for the
break. They had always hoped to get
all the Minneapolis mills under control
Mr.. Pillsbury's death made the pros
pect remote. From that time on things
looked darker and darker. Finally in
ternal dissensions broke out and the
company, while nominally retaining its
form and control Of the original pre-;
critics, ceased to be considered as an
important factor in the milling trade
and the attempt to form a flour trust
ended as a grand fasco. The Mime
apolis properties were leased back tt
the original operators and for severa
.. years the only activity Of the would-b'
trust has been in the courts.
The receivers were originally ap
pointed by the court of chancery O.
New Jersey and the appointment wa
made in this court to give the receiv

property located within this district
