ARRANGING THE PROGRAM
Jessie Maclachlan Concert at Audito-
rum will Be Notable Event.

Clan Gordon, No. SO, O. s. O., has al
most completed final arrangements for
the appearance of the Jessie Maclach-
Ian Concert company at the Auditorium
on Friday evening, Jan. 10. Miss Ma
lachlan and her company come directly
here from San Francisco, where they
recently arrived from successful Aus
tralian tour. At the concert-the pro-
gram Of which is now being formed
Miss Maclachlan will sing American,
Scottish and Irish selections, and will
be ably assisted by John McLinden,
the famous young Scottish 'cellist, and
by Robert Buchanan, solo pianist and
conductor.
One Of the events on the program will
be the first appearance in Minneapolis
of William Nicol Of Aberdeen, Scot
land, the acknowledged peer of Scottish
dancers, who will perform in full cos
tune. Another attraction will be the
bagpipe solos by Donald Forbes, vet
eran Of the Forty-second Highlanders,
who carries service medals for the Sou
danese campaign under Kitchener and
for the Boer war under Sir Hector Mac
Donald.
The complete program will be pub
lished early next week. Sale of seats

Temporary Injunctions.

Judge Joseph V. Quarles of the
United States court. who has given
it out that he will issue no more
temporary injunctions on ex-parte hear
ings, is evidently on the right track.
He will demand that both sides be
heard in the first instance.
The temporary injunction is regarded
as useful as pause in the proceed
ings where a knotty question Of law
is involved. It puts brake upon ac-
ton until the merits Of the controversy
can be heard. When a temporary in
junction is granted the court sets a
nearby date when both sides can be
heard and when it will be determined
whether the Injunction shall be dis
solved or made permanent. Judge
Quarles' decision means that he will
cut out the temporary injunction en-
tirely. There will be an application
and a full hearing and the permanent
injunction will either be granted or de.

The temporary injunction is liable tc
great abuses. On an ex-parte hearing
an Injunction can be obtained for any
thing. Litigants who have nothing tt

bluff or to enter into a negotiation
With the business tied up by injunc
tion, they are in position to make

the congregation at Lake Forest, no at
tempt was made to reject his resigna-
ton. a committee was named to notify
the presbytery of the action of the con-

THE KIT'SON MODEL
Description of Design for the vicksburg
Peace Monument.

This model, by Henry H. Kitson l., Of
Minute Man, at Lexington, Mass, is
the finest piece Of this kind ever seen
in the west.
With the theme-Wa r-Mr. Kitgon
made his fame worldwide in HThe Min
ute Man. Nothing in that line could
be finer. But in this last creation, with
the opposite theme---Peace--;he has far
not only proved that he still possesses
rare genius, but he has demonstrated,
as we'll, that he has been improving
his God-given talent in a most wonder
full and satisfactory manner. The de-
sign shown, which Mr.. Kitson has long
had in mind for an American peace
monument, is bronze figure of Peace
right hand and sheathed sword and
shield in the left, at rest, by the side:
This figure is alighting upon a pedestal
between two Corinthian columns and
enfolds them with her wings. These
columns are emblematic--one Of the
north and the other Of the southland
are thus united by the figure. The
columns are made distinctive by 1ncor-
porating in the foliage Of the capitals
the palm and the cotton plant for the
south.
These columns, which are free stand
ing, are supported by pier at the
back, on the rear side Of which will be
ample room for Inscriptions. The sig
nifcance of the architectural detail Is
fine. The olive festoons represent peace,
the oak festoons strength, while the
bound reed torus represents unity.
The cartouche in the attic, with the
coat-of-arm of the state Of Minnesota,
is supported on either side with horns
of plenty, indicating prosperity.
Altogether the design is original, dis
tinctive, appropriate and surprisingly
| beautiful. The full size when complet-
ed will be thirty feet high, while tho
three inches.
Such memorial is far preferable to
| anything larger, coarser and less arts
It had been suggested by the commits
sion that, If suitable design were Sc
cured, the memorial would probably be
duplicated on the capitol grounds; and
SO, Mr.. Kitson had this in mind, 40 is
seen in the Corinthian columns and the
general architecture of the design.
Such a contamination is to be devout:
" hoped for. This noble memorial would
be in perfect harmony with the capitol
It would be a splendid testimony OF
i Minnesota to her heroic sons who, thru
| war, helped to bring lasting peace, and
it would be constant inspiration &c

best in art.
. The very thought Of Minnesota g be
ing able to secure such memorial is in
spring; but still more SO is it to learr

alton already made by the legislature.
Many who have seen this model are
unanimous in hoping that Minnesots
will improve the opportunity now pre-
sented, Of securing this masterpiece Q.

william Rainey Harper.

Measured by the biblical standard
William Rainey Harper had twenty-odd
years before him and we may judge a
little of what those years would have
been from the monumental work accom-
plished in the forty-nine short years Of
his life. In those years he had made
himself chief biblical scholar Of
America, had revolutionized systems of
teaching and crowned his service to
mankind by theScreation of a university.
People as a rule have little confidence in
created universities. They expect them
to grow by unseen accretions Of lnfiu-
ence and to become great only when
their traditions have become Immense
" dear to the masses. But DR.. Harper
did more than simply create univers-
ity. He gave it tradition or some
thing which resembled a tradition. He
gave it an individuality and a college
tradition is only a college reputation
grown old.
DR.. Finley Of the College Of the City
of New York recently wrote in an esti-
mate of President Harper:
ssOf the personal side it is more diff
ficult to speak because the spirit which
has devised the mechanism and infused
it with life is not easily assessable In
itemized values. There is the tremend-
Gus worker whose equal as such lido not
know, and who yet knows how to play;
there is the unmagnetic speaker who is
vet one of the most forceful of debat-
ers; there is the man deeply interested
in the affairs of today who is also a
genuinely great scholar in the literature
and life Of an ancient people; there is
the masterful, resourceful executive who
is above all things a teacher.
This estimate doubtless sums up the
man Justly and fairly without passion
ate praise. DR.. Harper will be remem,
bered by some as the greatest money
raiser of modern education; by others
as the whirlwind executor Of immense
conceptions; by others as the student
and the conqueror Of difficult Ian:
guage and Of the mysterious literature
of far past age; by ;, others as the
teacher simple, concrete in his methods
and all of these thoughts will be just
for he was all of these things and more
He was Christian gentleman who dis
counted nothing Of faith of mankind II
the future. He went to his end cheer
full as the soldier who knows the bulle
has been made for him. He worked VI
to his last hour with characteristic alb
negation Of self and died at 40 with tn
record Of having touched mankind o.
the good side and of having helped i
to attain to the best there is in life.

Hotel Carpets and Hangings.

The West hotel disaster has again
raised the question what is fre-proof
buildings The building inspector says
the hotel meets all the requirements or
the present law, which may or may not
convince one that the building was
freproof. But the fire itself gives
plentiful evidence that the West hotel
was a very difficult building to burn.
In a confagration which had fair
start and which pursued it's way indie
pendeLtly while a portion of the lire
department was handicapped by the i'm
mediate necessity Of saving life, the
hotel sustained an inconsiderable dam
age about evenly divided between
smoke and water If this is not evil
dence of slowburning properties in the
structure it would be difficult to sng-
gest an efficient test.
AS the building inspector says, it
takes very little combustible material
in building to quickly fill it with suf-
locating smoke, and this lends potency
to the inquiry why is there SO much
combustible material permitted in
hotels where it is known that in case of
fire, the chief danger to the guests at
least, at first, will be that Of binding
and sitting smoke? The West, hotel
had enormously heavy carpets in all its
long halls. Were they useful, sanitary
or necessarya ~ zs
Nearly all the windows and many of

the arches had heavy hangings, which
may have been impressive, but which in
