Mrs. G. W. Williams spoke upon the
topic of the meeting, 'The Mission
Study Glass; She said that the day
of disconnected, fragmentary study Of
missions was fast passing, and saner
methods were being employed. Every
Christian Endeavor society not already
provided for was urged to have mis-
sion study class.
Rev. A. G.. Patterson spoke Of the
devotional side of the study and the
danger of making it purely intellect

TO SHIFT SIDEWALKS
More Changes on Lake Street to Ac.
conmodate Phone Companies.

Work will soon begin in shifting the
sidewalks on Lake street so as to give
a three-foot boulevard instead Of
one-foot strip. Under the original or
dinance the forty-foot roadway was to
be provided by cutting down the boule-
ward to one foot. This was entirely
satisfactory to the street railway COM
pany, whose new tracks necessitated
the change, but it was soon discovered
that the telephone and electric COM
panies could not maintain their pole
lines with the narrow boulevard. To
overcome this difficulty the outside
course of sidewalk tagging was ordered
shifted to the side next the lot line,
thus widening the boulevard to nearly
three feet. This will cut into the
thirty inches reserved by the city be-
tween the lot line and the edge of the
sidewalk, but the telephone line is
heavy one and rather than incur the
trouble of establishing it on another
street the city authorities will shift
the walks.

Bringing Back Representation.

The fight against gang politics in
philadelphia, it is conceded now, cannot
safely stop short of general move
ment to make politics honorable thru
, out the state The crowd of leeches
who have sucked the blood of Pennsyl-
vania succeeded at last in making the
very word odious to men of probity.
The general public withdrew from poll
tics. It is questionable whether the de-
cent citizens Of Philadelphia did not
cease even to vote. It is true that Phil
adelphia always cast a full vote, but
the PROFITS now being brought out that
iimmensei numbers Of fraudulent ballots
were cast by hangers-on of the organiza-
ton. In every precinct policemen, fire.
men and employees Of the different de-
partments of the city maintained al
legged boarding houses, from which at
election time swarmed out hordes of
illegal voters. 1t was part of the sys-
tenn. The bosses knew that the people
were not voting so they invented citi-
zens to take their place. +. e.
Now the leaders of the reform move.
ment in Philadelphia say they are go.
ing to bring politics back into favor
with the people by making the profes,
sion honorable. They will seek to re.
store the real representative character
of nominating conventions Philadel-
phia has had not only her aldermen
but her representatives in congress
handed to her by the gang. Now it is
hoped that politics will be so far rehabil
itated that honorable men with honor
able political ambitions will come for
ward and compete on their merits fol
the nominations. Thus nominated, they
will go to congress representing thei1
party platform and the material inter
ests of their constituents and not mere
ly as automatic servants of a system Of
loot.

CHINESE ENMITY

YE SING DISCUSSES THE RELA-
TIoNs OF TWO NATIONS.
Chinaman Says It Is But Natural That
His Countrymen, Abused in America,
Should Be Unfriendly When They

Nation, He Warns.

Do the American people really think
that they know anything about China9''
was the eVasive answer of Ye Sing. one
of the oldest Chinese residents in Min.
neapolis, when asked today what he
thought Of the proposal to let down the
bars to China.
Why do I ask thatao continued Ya
Sing with the same oriental suavity.
(" Well, | did not think that they did
or they would never have taken up the
policy that they have. When Chinese
merchants, princes or laborers come to
this country they are all treated alike.
Their baggage is turned topsy turvey

as if they were criminals, and are sent

"A few years ago we Chinese thought
that America was the greatest country
in the world. But the Americans at
the ports did not allow us to think SO
very long. We opened up China and the
Americans are made welcome and travel
freely. They go there and make their
money and wo do not deport them.
when the Norwegian, the French
man, or the Italian comes to this coun-
try, he does not have to bear the in
suits that the Chinaman does. And

of the proudest princes in China were
insulted by the federal officers at Bos-

treatment from China9
CHOW that China is considering re.
taliatory policies, the American people
ask what is the matter. They say that
they have preserved the integrity of
! China, and now China should let them
do as they wish. If China had gun
boats and was a warning nation, Their
other people would not disregard the

Radillnn.

"Radium is likely to be as cheap as
coal one Of these days, when it is dis
covered in sufficient quantities, = says
the Wizard Of Menlo Park. This utter
ance is somewhat enigmatical. Its
value would seem to depend on the
probability of radiun being found in
sufficient quantities. = But Edison

stance Of which Welsbach mantles are
made. Formerly you could carry four
or FIVE thousand dollars worth in your
vest pocket. Now it is cheap as dirt.
The reason for this, Mr.. Edison says,
is that the average man does not know
one of these new metals when he sees
it. He doesn It know radium from
chalk. But when biologists who do
know become interested In the digging
up Of radium because Of it's value, they
will soon find enough of it to bring
down the price.
1t is something of a misfortune not to
know radium at sight, because you may
be walking on it every day, stubblng
your toe over a fortune without being
aware of it. Radium may be In the

An Incubator Graduate.

The incubator institute at Wonderland

baby received incubator treatment for four

which the family physician had despaired.
Another case which is being watched with

MIR. AND MRS. GLEASON TO SCALE
THREE FAMOUS PEAKS.
Former Minneapolitans, Now Of Boston,

Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert w. Gleason Of
Boston are in Minneapolis for short
visit on their way to the Pacific coast.
They are members of the Appalachian
club of mountain climbers and expect
to join company Of about twenty OF
from the Sierra club Of San Francisco
and from similar organization of an
unrememberable name from Portland,
in an expedition to the top of Mount
Shasta, Mount Hood and Mount Ra-
nier. Mr.. and Mrs. Gleason will return
thru the Selkirks, making stops at Gla-
cier and other points for rest and ma
ture study.
Mr.. Gleason was formerly a resident
of Minneapolis and is much impressed
with the growth Of the city during the
past five years, not alone with the
amount of building going on, but with
the fact that he doesn It see anyone on
the streets whom he knows.
Mr.. Gleason is the secretary OF the
committee Of New England Congrega
tionalists, who organized and made the
protest against the acceptance Of the
Rockefeller gift to the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
He says the protest of that committee
has met with a remarkable response
from all parts of the country, not only
from church people but from business
men, and particularly from the, secular
press. The most significant fact, NJ
thinks, in connection with 1t, mas peel
the attitude Of the secular press-lts
keen discrimination as to the real mer

has given to- the question.

Catholics and members Of the Greek
church and Catharine, under pretense of

The loss of their territories sobered the

home government, which was only too
willing to come A second partition took
place in 1898 in which only Russia and
Prussia were concerned. More than a

A national uprising of the Poles under
the valiant Kosciusko followed these pro-
ceedings and for time was successful
But the Poles could not hang together.
KosciusEo was defeated at the battle of

treated to fearful punishment for It's

Money Madness.

i Mr.. James B. Dill, who might. be con-
sidered an authority on the money ques-
ton, addressed the graduating class
of Oberlin college today on the subject
of getting on in the world, and told
them that, while they might become
great lawyers, doctors or painters, near
1y all Of them would join the struggle
for wealth and 80 per cent would fail
An the quest.
q He did not give any very substantial
reasons why the majority of class
should be able to become great in pro-
fessions requiring skill, patience and
the most absorbing devotion to one
dine of thought and yet should fail in
the race for wealth.
/. If what he said is true is it not an
Indication that money is not pursued

cases with light heart, tho no money
could tempt him into the presence of
death. The young lawyer knows no

TOO great to give to a client. He wants

to win his case, to triumph and thru
triumph to strengthen himself. But he
could not be wrought to such sacrifices

It may reasonably be inferred from
The attitude Of the majority of profes
sional men that money is not the end
with them. They have something else
in view. Nor need it be assumed thai
those who do set out to make a fortune
are necessarily doomed to failure. II
is no harder to gain wealth than it il
to gain prinacy in the field of the

one in point. There is no evidence that
