WESLEY COLLEGE IN
A DIFFERENT
ROLE
Banquet Given Last Evenin.
in Conservatory Rooms
Huge Success.

\ new phase of the purpose and
plans of Wesley college was revealed
last evening when one hundred guests
Of Wesley college faculty sat around
banquet tables in the conservatory
rooms.
The Wesley college guild is intend
ed to include all students of the arts
course of Wesley college and all stu
dents of the state university who are
classified as affiliated with the Metho-
dist church. The list is taken from
the university registration. One hun
dred twenty-five invitations were is
sued of which one hundred were ac-
cepted.
The tables We're spread in the reci-
taticn hall of the conservatory, and
their arrangement and supervision
were directly under the superintend-
ence of Miss Saunderson and Miss
Redmon who were assisted by the
Misses Armstrong, Miss Sturtevant,
Miss Andrews, Miss GLADDEN. and Miss
Draeske.
The happy college spirit was every
where in evidence. By little device
the young men and young ladies were
seated alternately which arrangement
appeared not at all to detract from the
enjoyment of the evening, especially
when it was found that there were
almost equal numbers of young men
and young ladies' among the student
guests. After the appetite had been
satisfied President Robertson acted as
postmaster and delightful hour was
spent in the enjoyment of program
quite informal but all the more full
of college spirit. Clementine and
Solomon Levi had their usual place in
frolic song. Hrof. and Mrs. Stout
played, Miss Leonard sang, all to the
great delight of the company. The
speeches were largely impromptu but
not the less witty, the speakers being
called for by the company. w. c.
husband, Miss Ward, DR.. Thomas,
Dean Bruce, DR.. Stearns, Rev. NJ. P.
Burns, DR.. Halfyarl were called out
and rewarded the company with words
OF wit and wisdom.
President Robertson outlined the
purpose and plans of Wesley college
stating among other things that the
college was supported by the parents
and friends of all present for the en-
richment of their student opportuni-
ties and that the courses offered
should be a part of the education of
every college student. He stated that
to be student Of Wesley college
should not lessen, but rather increase,
the devotion to the state university.
The coming of Wesley college adds
so much to the educational opportun-
ity and is related on a plan of CO.
operation without competition

THE DAY OBSERVED

list and more than we'll did she per.
! form her part
The first number was that beautiful
and sublime production, For all
Eternity" by Angelo Mascheroni, rem
dered by Miss Jessie Messersmith, with
violin oblagata by Miss Christine
Holomoe of Dickinson. Miss Messer-
smith possesses a voice that is delici-
ously sweet and tender, yet with a
strength that makes it master of the
listener. She is possessed of charm
ing personality and a dramatic ability
which enables her to read her words
and tones into the very hearts of her
listeners, and the perfect incubation
and artistic rendition of every note
pleases the ear while it appeals to
the soul.
Miss Holomoe captivated the audi
ence with a violin solo, the Inter
mezzo' from Cavaliera de Raisticana
by Maschengi, with Mrs. Schepper as
accompanist. Miss Holmoe is an art
list of rare ability and her rendition
of this difficult thought delightful Sc
lection was more than appreciated by
her listeners.
After the conclusion of the address
by Governor Burke, Miss Messersmith
again charmed her audience by sing
ing as it is seldom sung the "Swal-
lows" by Fred Coroen. She was the
recipient of many congratulations on
the splendid merit of her work.
The Governors Address.
The address of Governor Burke on
Abraham Lincoln was masterpiece
even for the orator. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Governor Burke is
nowhere SO much at home as on the
rostrum and that his comprehensive
study and large experience have es-
pecial]y fitted him for the occasion
which he was called upon to fill today.
He did not disappoint those who heard
him. He was at his best. AS an
orator he has few equals and his SUBJ
lect gave an opportunity for the best
there was in him.
Prefacing his address with the state
>-Ao 'AAe'' ~ Noo meet lIldI lQG law
makers of the state and of the nation
should make the birthday Of the great
man holiday and that the legislat-
ure had consecrated the day to the
study of the life lived and the princi-
pies by Lincoln, he stated that Lin
coin had come from the very best
OF our civilization. He was one of
the great common people, the class
that had always been the soldiers in
the battles for human liberty and
human progress. Lincoln was not
politician. He never sought office, and
when he espoused any great cause
he did so because he believed in it
and when once enlisted in a battle he
forgot self and became submerged in
the principles for which he was con-
tending. 1t was the same with those
who followed him. They forgot Lin
coin. He was lost to them; but the
principles represented were what they
sought and trusting in him they fought
for these principles because Lincoln
became their embodiment. He never
espoused cause because it was popu-
lar but on the contrary preferred that
which was right, and by invincible
arguments converted those who differ

ed from him to his way and enlisted
them in his cause.

ed from him to his way and enlisted
them in his cause.
Passing to the period of his life
when he carried the burdens of a
nation through the four years of blood
and carnage, the speaker drew vivid
and thrilling picture of the great man,
whose heart was as tender as that Of
a woman and whose sympathies were
for every fellow being, as he pondered
on the lives that were being sacrificed
and the suffering and sorrow and woe
the strife was bringing to the people
he had been called to govern.
But the greatest lesson for the peo-
pie of today to be drawn from the life
of Lincoln, Governor Burke said, was
his reverence for the laws. He quot
ed the following from the words of
the martyred president and around
it gathered the inspirations which it
has given to PROSPERITY:
Let reverence of law be breathei
by every mother to the lisping babe
that prattles in her lap; let it be
taught in the schools. seminaries and
colleges; let it be written in primers,
spelling books and almanacs; let it
be preached from pulpits and pro-
claimed in legislative halls and en-
forced in courts of Justice; in short,
let it become the political religion Of
the nation"
He closed with beautiful and elo-
quent probation in which he recited
the names of the illustrious dead Of
the nations. England reverenced the
name and the memory of Alfred the
Great; Scotland, those of Wallace and
Bruce: Ireland those of Emmett and
O'Connor; Sweden, that of Gustavius
-Adolphus: but none of them held the
place in the galaxy of the worlds
great equal to that of Abraham Lin
coin, the plain, unassuming man who
came from the common people and
was yet king.
The governor received an ovation
when he rose to speak while his
masterful and thrilling address was
received with merited applause.
At the close the. assembly Joined
in singing America" and Chaplain
Jones of the senate pronounced the
benediction.

Slightly Mixed.

The Times was slightly mixed Weo-
nesday evening on the report of the
Red Lake Falls Lumber company VS..
Cresein and Wood case, which was up
at Crookston this week. The demurrer
OF the defendant to the plaintiffs COM
plant was sustained by Judge. Watts,
and Attorneys Masse & Finlayson APP
peared for the defendant and Attor-
neys Bronson & Collins for the plain
tiff. The Times mixed things on the
attorneys, having it appear that Masse
& Finlayson appeared for the plain
tiff, and Bronson & Collins for the
defendant.

1t is unfortunate that city which
has enjoyed the distinguished pres
tige in all things athletic, that Grand
Forks has in the past fifteen years,
that her lovers of sport-with particu-
lar reference to baseball-should be
compelled to satisfy themselves now
with corner-lot exhibitions, while
Fargo and others cities less progress
sive will take nothing but the
professional article for theirs. But if
we must turn our attention to ping
pong for the season of 1907, for
heavens sake let US prepare in ad-
vance for 1908.
