M. E. Services Yesterday.

There was very large attendance
at the Methodist church yesterday
morning. Mr.. Peart, in his dis
course, discussed the following
points:
Let us make our church more
sociable. Other things being equal,
the sociable man will win ninety
nine times out Of a hundred. The
same is true of church. Sociability
is drawing and winning power.
Let us make it sfactor in this
church. Try it, work it, and watch
the results.
Let us make our church d visiting
church. Go to the hospitals where
the sick linger; step gently, speak
Softly. This done, you have won a
friend for the church. Call upon
the strangers. Garry to them a word

TEN LIVES ENDANGERED.
-ifesaving Crew Save Occupants oil
Capsized Launch.

Milwaukee, July 1.-The capsizing
of the gasoline launch Ideal, owned by
Howard Williams, a glassblower, in
the harbor endangered the lives of
ten passengers, including men, women
and children, who were saved by the
lifesaving crew after two Of the chill
dren had gone under for the second
time.
The heavy swell in the wake of the
sidewheel steamer Chicago, which
was outward bound, caught the launch
In the trough" at an unfortunate mo-
ment and upset It, precipitating the
occupants into the lake.
The owner of the launch had Just
built it and took his wife and two chill
dren, as we'll as his brother and two
children, L. Retzke, W. Hewertz and
wife out for trial trip.
The women were almost hysterical
with excitement and fear. Their
dresses proved serious menace and
it was with much difficulty that they
were taken aboard the boat.

Lid on at NOrth0me.

Northome, Mimi, July 1.-(Spec-
ial to er.)-Mayor ]. J. Neary
has taken action in accordance
with the recent supreme court de-
cision regarding the closing of sa-
looms on Sundays, and yesterday
Northome was a decidedly "dry''
town, the lid" having been put on
Saturday night.
The action of closing the saloons
was largely brought about by the
saloon men themselves, they having
met with Mayor Neary at the city
hall Saturday night, when it was
agreed that the closing law should
be enforced, and at II O'Clock the
lid" was clapped down.

IMPROVEMENTS AT the
BEMiDJI HANDLE FACTORY
A New Boiler and a New Engine
Being Installed -.- Will
Double Power.

A. M. Bagley, the general manager
of the Bemidji Handle Factory, is
making some improvements to the
matchmaking plant that will greatly
increase the capacity of the concern
and add to the efficiency, as we'll.
Mr.. Bagley recently purchased a
new engine and boiler, the boiler
being of 80 horsepower and the
engine of 90 horsepower; and both
the boiler and the engine are now
being installed, and the plant will
be in readiness for operation within
week or ten days. The installing
of this new machinery will double
the power available for the machin
cry.
The capacity of the plant at the
present time is fifty dozen handles
per day, and the plant can turn out
100 dozen when the new machinery
is used.
The Bemidji Handle Factory is
patronized by retail dealers all over
the northwestern states, and the
output of the plant is steadily
increasing in popularity, with
increased demands for handles.

prove Since Slavery Days.
Atlanta, Ga, July In his inau-
gural address to the state legislature
Governor Hoke Smith had the follow
Ing to say on the negro question:
ANY plan. for the negroes which
fails to recognize the difference be-
tween the white and black races will
fail. The honest student of history
knows that the negro had full oppor-
tunlty for generations to develop be-
fore the days of slavery; that the
negro race was improved by slavery
and that the majority of the negroes
in this state have ceased to improve
since slavery. Few have been helped
by learning from books. All have been
helped who have been taught or made
to work.
1.-THE negro child should be taught
manual labor and how to live. The
negro teacher should be selected less
by book than by character examina-
ton. The negro school should help
the negro, not injure him. Racial diff
ferences cannot be overcome by mis-
guided philanthropists."

The address was masterful tribute to
the character OF Lee. and in striking
passages showed in what the character
of truly great man consists, and then
proceeded to indicate how fully the life
of Lee came up to the standard of real
character. There We're some striking

tribute to the boyhood and home life Of
Lee.
Bishop Randolph closed his address
with fervent prayer, giving thanks to

as follows:
.'When / look out over this great au-
dience cherish a feeling of gratitude that
services on this anniversary occasion are
held over q wider area to-day than ever
before. I am thankful to-day for the
great manhood OF Lee, manhood that
Is being recognized throughout the world.
Great manhood Is a virtue that serves the
country as In the case of Lee, moro, IN
what the man Is than in what he does.
In character consists the perennial ele-
ment of service.
ut Is faculty OF human nature that
all bow down to the hero a feeling OF
intense admiration as though I might
the noble and pure of human life
There is n great deal of pessimisn, in
the present day. In politics. IN business,
in the wild scramble for money and for
pleasure we hear only of the lower side
of human character, From the acts that
dishonor the Senate to the petty fraud
of the town council. human nature Is
held down to a level of spiritual medl-
oerity. A great man Is given us from
time TO time that all the world may
catch the light OF his character, and SO
elevate our ideals of human nature,
The poets lift us out qgf the slough of
our ordinary nature, -

the King the things OF higher, levels
Reading these ideals we grow weary of

those around us. Tho poet takes us into

science Is kirg. where w, are taught TO
