 Nothing ls for the Navy from every standpu has ever occurred than the cruise of the battle fleet around the world. The improvement Of the ships in every way has been extraordinary, and they have gained far more experience in battle tactics than they would have gaincd if they had stayed in the Atlantic waters. The American people nave cause for pro. found qualification, both in view of the excellent condition of thc fleet as shown by this cruise. and in view of ihe improvement the cruise has work ed in this already high condition. ! do not believe that there is any other service in the world in whien the average of character and efficiency in the enlisted men is os high us is now the ease in our own.

 When Spence was arraigned for sentence, his attorney, James Loy, filed motion for n new trial. support. cd by brief argument, the main fca. ture of which was that the verdict of the jury was not supported by the eVi- dence. He claimed that nothing m the evidence proved that the terrible deed was premeditated by his client. The court decided that the defendant had fair trial and that the issues had been fairly presented and over ruled the motion. \ motion by Al. torney Loy for mn arrest Of judgment on the ground that inc indictmen, did not conform io particular sections of the statutes was also ovcrrulcd. The court then ordered Spence to stand up. addressing nim as follows:
 "lou were indicted at this term of court, charged with the murder of one Edgar k. Sullivan. Hou were ar. raigned as provided by law and upon the arrnignment you entered plea of not guilty. You were afterwards tried by lawful jury which found you guilty of murder in tie first degree. What have yOu to say now why the judgment of the court should moi be pronouncedf'

 Judge Sloan then proceeded: "Thc judgment of the cour, is that you are guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree and that in accordance with the recommendation of the jury.

 Al the conclusion of tine sentence Spence sat back in his chair. The pal Tor of his countenance was never re. lievcd by blush during the proceed ings. during whicn every minute of the time he was the center of all eyes in the crowded courtroom. His eyes , looked towards the floor as he was es eorted ont of the courtroom by the sheriff and deputies, condemned to pay the extreme penalty of the law i for shoting out the life of another.
 The remainder of the days session was occupied in the selection of a jury ! for tne trial of F.. D. Hurley, indict- ed for the murder of Frederick ] Conroy, May I4, 1908, one mile south of the Copper Chief mine in the Black Hills range.
 After failing to agree on verdict after deliberating twenty-five hours the jury in the case of Garfield Fer rell. indicted for battery on Noami Schnur, six.year-old girl of Selg man, was called into the courtroom a' 4;30 o'clock and excused until this morning.

The exhibit, now in progress at the

ing the year by the pupils of the lower

worth going to see. In fact it is a re-
velation. Samples of penmanship,
map-drawing, water color work and
the like show an aptness and uniform
proficiency On the part of the little
ones that ought to make the parents of
New Ulm feel proud, and it is particu-
larry in the evidences of the work done
in the primaries that our citizens have
cause for qualification. The exhibit
will continue until the end of the school
year and should be witnessed by every
person who has intrusted his or her
children to the care of the teachers of
our public schools. There will also
be an exhibit at the Washington

THE POSITION OF JOHN LIND.

81 think Mr.. Bryan's nomination is
as certain as anything can be in poll
tics, and / will not want to see the
Minnesota delegation hostile to Bry-
an. Governor Johnson's name has
been very prominently mentioned for
the nomination. He is clean, high
minded man and worthy of honor by
his state. So [ believe Minnesota
should present Johnson's name at the
Denver convention. I am sure the
governor himself would not want the
delegation used to form any clique to
hamper or prevent Mr.. Bryan's nomi-
nation. Our delegation should simply
present Johnson as candidate in a
digniied way, in no spirit of hostility
to Mr.. Bryan, but as Minnesota con-
tribution to the deliberations of the
convention. 81 Former Governor John

In sThe Timber Thief" the new
starring vehicle in which that sterling
actor, William Owen, is achieving
marked success and which will be pre-
ssented by him at the Turner Theatre
on. May Oath, Arthur Wright, young
Socialist editor, learns of the, forma-
tion OF powerful corporation for the
theft of mineral and timber lands in
the Northwest. This editor is in love
with Gladys Minton, the daughter of
Abel Minton, millionaire lumber
king and a great political power i'll
his state, but he does not know that
Minton is the organizer of the cor
poration. When he tells Gladys of
the existence of such a combine she
agrees to assist him to defeat its pur-
pose. Through her assistance the
young editor exposes the corporation,
and Minton, who is candidate for
the governorship of tie state, is de-
feated. 'sThe Timber Thief" is the
work of George W. Ward, a young
western dramatist and is reported to
be one of the best plays of its kind
seen in years. The company support
ing Mr.. Owen is also said to be out of
the ordinary and contains the names
of many well-known players, includ-
ing Mr.. Mcconnell, who for years
supported Mr.. Owen in Shakespearean
roles.
Conrad Bolten, who plays the lead
ing role in 'sDie Ehre, /" a role, by the
way, calling for an unusual display of
histrionic ability plays a light comedy
part in ode Logenbrueder" and plays
it with equal success. This is one of
the remarkable things about the MEM
bers of the Pabst company-their
wonderful vers ability.

A NEW JERUSALEM.

Charles A. Dana, the great New
York editor, predicted, some years be-
fore his death, that by 1920 the city of
New York would become a jewish COM
munity. While he probably set the
date rather too early, progress in the
Judaizing of New York has been most
astonishing. Already there are more
Jews in the American metropolis than
have ever been gathered together in
one city in the whole history of the
Jewish race. At the present moment
ten per cent of all the Jews in the world
are New Workers, and they are ten
times all the Jews in France in num-
Der. Jerusalem itself contains only a
twenty fifth of the number that live in
Gotham. The entire Jewish popula-
ton Of Palestine and Syria must be
multiplied by fifteen to equal New
York's figure. Italy's must be multi
piled by twenty.
If the Semitic population of New
York continues to grow at the present
rate and there are NO signs of dimi-
nution-all the other heterogeneous
elements in the great city will be COM
pletely dwarfed, and it will become in
very literal sense the New Jerusalem.
There has, Of course, been no con-
scious effort On the part of the great
leaders Of Jewish thought to Judaize
New York. It is one of those great
national movements that take place
uneonsciously and naturally. The OPP
preston of the Jew in many lands,
and especially in Russia, has been the
moving cause closely correlated with
the fact tn at America is the land of
religious freedom and of opportunity.
These considerations, in connection
with the fact that most human efforts
to divert and control the natura
streams of emigration have proved
futile, suggest that the Zionist move
ment looking to the building up anew
of Jewish state in Palestine will re-
main a dream, while the center of
Judaism for the world will be irrevo-
cably fixed in the American metropolis.
