MONEY HARANGUE IN
JOIN D. IRIS CLASS

New York, April 2.-Whilc sonn D.
Rockefeller, Jr., was addressing his Bi-
BILE class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church yesterday on the proper OBJ.
servance of the Sabbath, man sitting
in a pew five feet from where the young
millionaire was standing, cried out and
tainted.
Mr.. Rockefeller, startled, stopped for
a moment, and then called loudly to one
Of the class members: CDR. Foote!
DR.. Foote!'
The doctor hurried down the aisle
and in short time revived the I'M
conscious man. Mr.. Rockefeller. hav-
ing regained his equanimity, proceed
ed with his talk. He had barely re-
gained the attention of the class when
a stranger, with tangled hair and wild
eyes, jumped to his feet and interrupt
ed with a harangue about money. Mr.,
Rockefeller listened for time and
then politely asked the speaker to be
seated. The man, however, continued
to ramble on until Mr.. Rockefeller tod
him sternly that he was out of order
and must reserve his remarks until some
other time. The man sat down and
mumbled to himself for five minutes.

Minnesota Politics
Benson Of st. Cloud stIrs Up the Animals
by Filing for Congress Against Buck
nnan-Martln Being Urged to Run. and
Senator Wood Of Long Prairie Another
Strong Possibility.

Charles S. Benson of st. Cloud created
the sensation of the day in political cir
.cles Saturday by filing his affidavit as
candidate for congress. He gave no pre-
liminhry notice Of his intentions, and the
news came to sixth district politicians
like lightning from clear sky. 1t is the
first congressional filing made in the state
this year
Benson's candidacy puts sixth district
politicians "up in the air. There is talk,
OF course, to the effect that Benson is a
Buchanan candidate, put in to divide the
field, and If possible, keep other candi-
dates out. Benson, however, has not been
a Buchanan man, and it is more fair and
just as reasonable to assume that he has
taken the leap so early with the idea of
the field and being the only
anti buchanan candidate. It Is generally
thought In the district that good, live
candidate would win In a straight issue
with Buchanan. 1t Is not likely, tho, that
the anti-Buckman forces in the district
will accept Benson, who jumped in with
out consulting them. Another candidate
Is almost certain to enter. Vigorous eff
forts have been made to get James A.
Martin into the race. The Park Rapids
Enterprise had column editorial last
week, declaring that Buchanan has lost
the confidence Of his constituents and
AluSI UG Tellf6u., NdTClQ, SAID the Enter
prise, must hear the call and step into
the breach as candidate. The fact that
he holds a postoffice would not make any
difference. . Jim Martin is bigger than
any postoffice job said the Enterprise
''or he is too small man for congress-
The entry Of Benson, st. Cloud man,
may deter Martin from running, but on
the other hand it may result in forcing
Martin into the field. There is talk of
Buchanan retiring in favor of Martin or
some other strong man, but If Buchanan
can get two or three candidates into the
field to divide the opposition he will
doubtless run again.
Senator Wood of Long Prairie is look
Ing over the ground and tho he will not
be candidate if Martin runs, he is seri-
ously. considering the proposition. While
in Wadena a few days ago he conferred
with his friends there, and said that while
he would rather support a younger man,
he was considering the question himself.
Benson. it is well known, had serious
thoughts of being a candidate for con-
gress two years ago, and went about over
the district somewhat. He is close
friend of Harvey Wire, the former post
master. and when Wire was ousted Ben
son, who had formerly been a Buchanan
man, turned to the opposition. He has
never trained with Brewer and Martin,
but his political affiliations have been
with Mcclure, Westerman and their wing
Of the organization. He was twice chair
man of the old sixth district congression-
al committee.

DEPEW TOO ILL TO
RETURN TO SENATE

New York, April PROMISES that
Senator Depew would return to his
place in the senate have not been full
filled, for the reason that hopes of his
family for complete restoration of his
health have been disappointed. He is
still in retirement on the Elliott T.
Shepard estate. back of the Scarbor-
ough, on the Hudson. where he has been
in seclusion for month since he left
Washington.
So closely is the senator guarded that
only few persons living in the imme-
dite neighborhood are able to say from
their own knowledge that he is in the
"villa,' as the house is known. Ii
any employee on the Shepard place Is
questioned as to the senator, he an
swers either with well-simulated stare
of amazement or fatty denies that he
has even heard report as to the sem
ator's whereabouts.
But here and there can be found one
or two who will admit having seen
Senator Depew On every pleasant day
lately he has been taken for ride in
an automobile and several times he
has taken children of the neighborhood
as companions. Except for caretakers,
Senator Depew is practically alone on
the 200-acre estate.

Deposed DoWie.

John Alexander Dowie is learning
that tyrants must rule by hand. Long
distance tyranny does not work now
adays. His message oil the way from
Mexico ordering the dismissal Of an,
overseer would very much better not
have been sent, so far as the Dowie
interests are concerned. It gave his
opponents in Zion notice Of what was
working in his mind and, with the
opportunity to confer together made
easy by the tyrant IS absence, they very
soon came to the conclusion that what
was necessary in Zion was less of
Dowie. They deposed the tyrant while
he was fretting the wires with orders
as to what to do with offending sub.
ordinates. The curious thing is that
Mrs Dowie and the unkissed Gladstone
apparently have Joined the revolt. They
are against the return of John Alex
ander.
John Alexander Dowie's enemies in
Zion declare he is insane, which is
probably true. Dowie has for years
exercised a control over his fellowmen

poise and sanity. He has been en-
trusted with all the mundane interests
of large number Of people and has
assumed the charge of their spiritual
interests as well.
The overworked Dowie ego has shown
signs of swapping. The author Of Zion
has been practically in exile for sew
eral years, and has shown, between
paroxysms Of rheumatism, curious
flashes Of the old tyrant and the old,
shrewd manipulation.
The property of Zion is heavily In
volved and the antics of Dowie in the
past year have threatened it. It was
time to get rid Of Dowie and save the
pieces. It has been done. The little
men who never would have originated
Zion are quite capable of administering
upon it's effects. And as they proceed
to do SO, the decisions from which they
have suffered are likely to be dispelled.
Dowieism can not long survive Dowie.

orpheum-Modern Vaudeville.

Bernhafdt of vaudeville, occupies the

week Assisted by a fair support she is
giving a tabloid presenta ton of Gar
men go 1t is a saturnalia of thirty min
utes duration. All of the melodratic
features Of the original Carmen are
maintained. It brings climax upon cli-
max murder upon I, murder and plot and
intrigue in a rapid-fire manner Gar
men" ever drawn in forid colors, will
not permit Of such a condensation with
out suffering. Miss Bergere is hard
working, but in her interpretations the
young woman never loses sight of Miss
sBergere, nor does the audience Her
character portrayals are rarely those Of
the author, but more Of the character Of
MISS Bergere. Such a tumult of climax
and melodrama as Carmen in thirty
minutes cannot help but hold the atten-
ton of the audience. A second viewing
of the production would incline the seat
holder to criticism
The bill opens at 500 with a supper
turn by Hart and Richardson entitled "A
Try-out. It falls far short Of making

VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE
LITERATURE OF THE

VALUABLE ADDITION TO THE
HISTORICAL LITERATURE OF THE
NORTHWEST. The history Of the
northwest, like that Of all countries
that have been called new since Chris
tianity took firm root, has had two
clearly marked characteristics the re-.
igious and the commercial. The two
are closely allied, and in the total his
tOrical record both must have place.
But profit is to be had by following
each story separately now and then,
and any work that invites to such a
course has a very considerable value.
This is true Of "a story Of the twin
a small volume called Among the Sioux,
by Rev. R. J. Creswell, a Presby
minister of this city.
Mr.. Creswell for twenty years has
mingled intimately with the missiona-
ries who have worked among the Sioux
and with the Christian Indians. He
has, therefore, seen both the workers
and the results Of their work, and nat
urally his interest has turned to the be-
ginn Il Of missionary enterprise in the
northwest. The result with him has
been the Impulse to tell in condensed
form the story Of that enterprise. The
book which has grown out Of this I'M
pulse is small, but it is full Of facts.
2 1t gives in brief a story that is full
Of inspiration. to everyone interested in
Christian work, and especially to those
whose interest turns to the red man.
If one were to make criticism, he
would say that the story had been made
too brief. But that is an easily for
givable fault.
Following the sketch Of missionary
effort in the northwest, so closely con-
nected with the history Of the twin
cities. Mr.. Creswell has given several
storiettes, which contain among
other things Indian legends and descrip-
tions Of interesting Indian customs.
Among the legends is one Of st. An
thony Falls.
MI. Creswell has illustrated his book
with portraits Of historical characters
and pictures Of historical places and in
cidents.
:, Altogether, then, "Among the
Sioux" is a book that will attract
the attention not only of the student
Of the religious side Of the history of
the northwest. but Of the general reader
as well. It bears the imprint Of the
University. Press of this city, but is is

ADJUSTMENTS
BIIou-Mpavld Harum.v

Honest, homely, real life comedies Of
the class of David IIarurn'' are all too
scarce, and for that reason the bill at the
Bljou this week is the more welcome.
Tho presented many times, it still re-
ta1ns Its power to charm, it's characters
are as interesting and lovable as ever, its
wholesome atmosphere still refreshes and
1t still makes its appeal to the wholesome,
better side of all classes of theatergoers.
Contrasts in types are as marked in
this simple story Of real life in upper
New York state as the needs of dramatic
construction demand, yet society is not
drained to its lowest depths to secure
them, asis too often the case in the pres
Tent day. It's women are the sweet, true,
lovable women Of the home, the impul-
Esive, warm hearted Mary Blake, the
comfortable and motherly Aunt Polly and
the Widow Cullom.
. William H. Turner is an admira BILE
David Harum. His work is natural and
hearty. He makes his audience love him,
and In doing so the play becomes real
thing. Once he establishes the spell, he
does not break it by OVERRIDING or incon-
|sistencies. G. H. Carlton as Dick LARA
bee, his able assistant and confidant in
matters pertaining to horses and horse
trading, does a clever and able piece Of
character acting. P. F. ,Rutledge as 4Chet
Timson, the officious, four flushing clerk,
is equally good. - T
The John Lennox 81 George Moore and
the Mary Blake Of Miss Norma Winslow
are hardly as real as. one might wish, but
are nevertheless good. Mr.. Moore carries
manly dignity with1his work that is eff
fective, and Miss Winslow's youth and
pleasing smile secure the warm interest
of the audience;gy 1 .:fFaFsf ~ s.

st. Paul Schools in Danger.

The St.~Paul Dispatch has unearthed
q scheme to reduce the number of pub
lie school teachers in st. Paul, and in
crease the salaries Of the remainder. It
was tc be accomplished by leaving va
cant the places of teachers who drop out
during the school year to marry or from
some other cause. The pupils who were
thus left teacherless would be distribut-
ed among others, and the salary among
the remaining teachers.
The scheme involved some difficulties.
since the teachers who dropped out
might be all Of one or two grades. in
volving an embarrassment in distribut-
ing the pupils they left behind.
However, that was not the worst part
of the plan. It looked like cold
blooded proposal on, the part of a teach
1 ers' eabal to sacrifice the schools to
the financial benefit of the surviving
teachers. The average of forty pupils
l per teacher, which is already too high,
was to be arbitrarily raised to SO, with
i the result that many of. the pupils
would get no attention atsall.
The Dispatch points out that it is not
very creditable to St. Paul that it
should be necessary to reduce the mum
Der Of teachers in order to get for them
decent salaries. The expenses of the
st. Paul schools were, it shows, Sc cents
B & head less for salaries than in Mime
apolis, and it wants to know why st.
Paul cannot afford as much for teachers
salaries per thousand of population as
Minneapolis.
There is no reason why not. st.
IS Paul is prosperous. It has been wax.
ing up lately as to its possibilities as a
city. It's citizens have been banding
out auditoriums and Y. M. C.. A. build
ings without stint. Money is easy in
St. Paul. Part of the public liberality
\ should be expressed in sympathy
with the public school teachers.
