HUMAN CHARACTER,
REV. Or. WILSON'S TOPIC

Rev. DIR. G.. A. Wilson spoke In Ups
and Downs of Character" at the Y. Nj. G.
A. Yesterday afternoon.
'sI-he men who respect the spiritual are
I'M in character" he said, "ard the men
who neglect the spiritual are down In
character. Degeneration in character Is
due solely to neglect. IL a man neglects
his soud he will lost the powers of trust
and faith and spiritual insight. When a
man has lost these things, 1t Is difficult
for him to his again.
'rhe reverse of neglect Is respect for
spiritual influences A man keeps rising
I'm character so long as he respects the
spiritual Pay attention to the interests
OF your soul as you do to the Interests
of your body. and you will continue to
go up"

CAR REFUSES TO ACCEPT
O0UMA'S ANSWER To
SPEECH FROM THRONE

, compel an immediate rupture, entailing
dissolution and civil war.
An interesting constitutional point Is
involved In the refusal OF a personal audi
ence by the emperor. According 10 the
parliamentary law "the president submits
to the consideration of the emperor the
transactions OF the lower house" but Ii is
not stated whether he does so personally.
A member OF the ministry is authority
for the statement that Emepror Nicholas
was willing To receive President Mouromt-
SEN, but that the action of the house In
appointing a delega ton TO accompany him
was regarded as a dangerous precedent,
capable OF being stretched TO include n
deputation of any size-even the whole or
the membership OF the house.
ADVISED TO YIELD.
1t was intimated by the minister that
II tho leaders OF the house desired TO avoid
a rupture they could do so either by ac-
cepting the instructions to present the ad-
dress through the minister of the court.
as a proper and justlfiable matter OF rou-
tine or could. by keeping within the limits
OF the constitutional provision, direct the
president OF the house to apply alone for
an audience.
II was pointed out that no distinction
had been made between the lower house
and the council OF the empire. and that
the last-named body had also been IN
structed TO present its address through
the same channel.
President Mouromtseff again went to
Peterhof this evening TO be presented 10
the empress, who had no opportunity Of
meeting him during the ceremonies there
Saturday. He did not see the emperor.
All the evidence furnished by the week $
session OF the Douma and events through
out the empire. point TO the conclusion
that the revolutionary campaign Will grow
rapidly In strength whatever the govern
ment may do.
The Douma has assumed the attitude
that under no circumstances will II CO.
operate with the existing regime m
formation from Moscow and keif today
describes how the extra editions OF "ve-
ming newspapers giving full reports of the
Douma's proceedings were struggled for
and read by intensely interested groups
on the streets.
This immediate access 10 the people
throughout the country has given the
Douma enormous advantage i'm its wa
against the government. Even IL com
prehensive amnesty is granted IL Is prob
able that the Douma will maintain an
aggressive hostility toward the govern
ment.

SALVATION ARMY WILL s.. :: 10.
PARADE FOR VETERANS
Three Local Corps Of Organization Plan
Demonstration Next Tuesday Eve
ming Many Courtesies Shown. "n

The martial atmosphere attending
ing spirit of the Salvation Army, and
for + the bene Of 1 the vsang Veterans
On Tuesday night Brigadier J. w.
Cousins will lead all three corps Of the
local Salvationist forces in a parade
thru the downtown streets, This will
be followed by special Grand Army
service in the hall at PIG First avenue
S. The three local bands are busy re-
hearsing patriotic airs, which will be
used, not only Tuesday night, but at
all the open-air meetings next week.
In addition to placing half Of the
lower floor Of the old city hall at the
disposal of the Red Cross corps, Staff
Captain W.. H. Gooding has installed
thirty cots in the old council chamber,
which will be held in reserve for be-
lated veterans. He has also supplied
the Red Cross headquarters with COM
Portable chairs and couches from the
stock of the salvage store, and placed
the range and kitchen force Of the In
dustrial home at the disposal Of the
nurses. 49,
One thorn in the side of the Salvation
Army people is the impression that
they are the proprietors Of the grand
stand which surrounds their headquar-
tiers. In order to prevent, as far as
possible, the adverse criticism which
their seeming attempt at speculation
has brought upon them, they have
posted notices to the effect that the
stand has been erected by order of the
G.. A. R. entertainment committee and
that no tickets are on sale within.

RAILROADS SEE CHANCE
TO INCREASE REVENUE
Movement to Charge IS Reconsignment
Between Twin Cities Starts LOTUS on
War Path.

A movement among the railroads en-
tering the twin cities to introduce a
So per car reconsignment charge for
cars whose destinations are changed
from one city to the other, will prob
ably be nipped in the bud by com
plant which George F. Lotus Of St.
Paul will file with the state railroad
commission Monday.
It is understood, too, that the COM
mission has had warning, and on it's
own initiative has sent demands to the
railroads to appear at the capitol and
explain matters. " T..
All but two or the roads have filed
tariff, tho it has not yet been en-
forced, charging SIS for reconsignment
of carload lots from one city to the
other, this being the case in spite of
the fact that all rates from outlying
points to both Minneapolis and st. Paul
are the same. = .#t.. .... -..... a..
The stumbling block has been the
fact that the Wisconsin Central and a. d
the Great Western have filed tariff
cars from one city to the other without
charge. This has compelled the other
lines to do the same. Pressure has
been brought to bear on the Wisconsin
Central and Great Western to point
where it is said they are about to with
draw their free reconsignment sched
ules. This will permit all the roads to
enforce the SIS charge, and make thou
sands of dollars revenue a year for the
lines. ..'' -" 49,. -.
The enforcement of this So charge
would be especially felt by st. Paul
elevator men and others who buy grain
on the Minneapolis exchange and have
it reconsigned from Minneapolis as an
original destination to St. Paul. -.

MARRIAGE DIVORCE
CENSUS IN HEAMEP|N.
GOVERNMENT AGENTS WILL COZ
LECT LOCAL STATISTICS.
Figures to Be Secured In All the States
to Form Basis for Legislation
Is the Divorce Evil increasingly
I This Census Will Clear the Question.

Agents Of the census bureau, from
Washington, will this week begin the
work of compiling statistics Of mar
riage and divorce in Hennepin and
Ramsey countless and in very short
while similar. work will be taken up
at every county, seat in the state.
What is to be done in Minnesota is
and as the result of the inquiry the
government is to have definite in
formation, going back twenty years,
upon which to base any efforts that
may be made at marriage and divorce
legislation in congress. The present
inquiry is being made as the result
of a joint resolution of congress, passed
on the recommendation Of President
Roosevelt. y E..&
For good many years large num-
Der of people have been of the opin-
ion 70 that the divorce evil in the United
States Is becoming greater. These
people have been urging congress to
step In and assume jurisdiction and
pass law which would operate uni
formly over the country, and be so
strict in character as to remedy the
evil. Quite a number Of members Of
both houses Of congress are favorable
to such legislation, as is the president
himself, but obviously before legisla-
ton can be undertaken something in
the way Of exact information must be
obtained. This information the present
inquiry is to develop.
Census bureau agents began this
work in Chicago, New York and Bos-
ton last week. Elaborate sets Of blanks
have been furnished by the govern
ment, and the work Of gathering the
required information will necessitate
going over the records for twenty
years in the offices of clerks Of courts
and similar officials all over the coun.
try. In no instance are the names of
principals in divorce suits to be taken
by the census Investigators, nor are
the names of persons married to be
taken. For statistical purposes these
names would have no use.
AS to marriages, the information the
government wants can all be found in
the books Of records in the office OF
the clerk Of courts. AS to divorces
however, it will be necessary in prac
| tically every case not only to consult
the books of records, but to 90 back
| to the original papers in every divorce
| case. This will require a good deal Of
time. The questions that are to b.
answered as to each divorce humble
about twenty.
After the work in the field has al
been completed, the blanks will b,
sorted in Washington and the figure
compiled by states for presentation
to congress. It is hardly possible tina
this compilation can be finished il
time for the session next winter, bu
an effort in that direction will be made
Clifton G. Jermane Of the censu
bureau is to have charge of the wor]
in Hennepin county.

LINDEN HILLS rs
GIVEN RICH TREAT
Amateur Circus Fills Rural Suburb
With Strange Sense of Joy and Heart
Yearning Satisfied.

The amateur circus in Linden Hills
Friday night was an unqualified sue
cess, the attendants being satisfied that
it is not necessary to send out of the
city either for actors or spielers. Ex-
cellent demonstrations Of original
genius were made In both these i'm
portant directions.
The domestic brand Of spieler was re-
inforced, however,, by "Bill" Small of
Boston, who used to spiel for the Greek
plays at Harvard and who learned how
to bark in the dead languages. The
splendor of his diction impressed all
the listeners with a sense of the awful
ness OF education. Incidentally it
should should be said that the people be-
quently the refined vaudeville was dol
lars to doughnuts ahead Of all other
shows on the grounds.
The fortune teller, Mrs. Jacobs, ran
second. The crowd around her tepee
stood in line until a late hour when
the waiting list had to be abolished,
Mrs: Jacobs being exhausted with pre-
dieting the future and descanting upon
the past.
The animal show, .superintended by
Dr: Shlpman in a gorgeous uniform Of
red, drew hundreds to the enclosure,
where was to be seen real tiger and
monster elephant. All the turns in
this tent went smoothly, except one,
when the front legs Of the elephant
strayed down to the refreshment stand
and could not be tempted back until
filed with ice cream and lemo.
The Indian village, with Leo Fontaine
as dashing Buffalo Bill, did rushing
business. the inferno arranged and oper-
ated by Mr.. Logan, made all good chill
dren better and all bad children good !;

Hoyt,, could not have been improved

City Will Stand Near Lake In Isoring


It has been decided to locate the pa

Loring will present to the city, on the
north shore of the lake in Lor1ng park.
1t will occupy portion Of what at pres
ent is the children's playground, some
distance back from the site occupied by
the warming houses erected for the COM
fort of skaters In winter 81.
A number VI park officials, including
the members of the committee on i'm

Theodore Wirth,1 after tramping all over
the park, came to the conclusion that
the location is the most available pa
'vilion site. :.
The structure will cost Mr.. Loring
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's completion
will close Mr.. Loring's active connection
with the park board, for which he has
labored, as has no other man, for a score
of years. Els act in making the city a
