DR.. SHERIDAN'S
OFFICIAL VISIT
President Of the Maryland M.
P. Conference Speaks at
Second Church

In Second NJ P. Church, Fifth ave-
nue and Anchorage street, last night,
the Rev. DIR. j. NJ. Sheridan. president
of the Maryland Annual Conference,
of the Methodist Protestant Church,
delivered an interesting address upon
topics bearing upon the welfare
of the church and the work before
1t.
The body of the church was well
filled with an attentive congregation
and DR.. Sheridan spoke Interestingly
for nearly an hour. In part he said:
Il come to greet you in the interests
OF the conference and to meet you per-
sonally, as we should be closer to-
gether I also come for the purpose
Of looking over your work and to get
some idea Of the conditions here in
order that I can carry back your in
terests to the conference. Some seem
to think that your interests are not
the interests of the conference, but
such Is not the case, as the conference
has your interest at heart Our
church paper should be in every home
that you may learn just what the con-
ference is doing"
Touching upon the subject Of the
ministry, DIR. Sheridan said that there
are a number of vacancies to be filled
and that the churches should be awak-
ened to the fact.
churches" said he. SHOULD be jusr
as interested in the supplying of min
listers as they are in the supplying Of
money You should look over the
young men of your congregation and
urge those who are fitted to enter the
ministry and do oil IN your power to
encourage them. In this district you
should endeavor t. get at least fifty
young men, fitted and willing, TO give
their services to God. The conference
has watched the growth Of this church
and urges you all to stand by your
pastor. as without your support he can
do nothing. Give the church your
very best services. as without the CO.
operation of his congregation no pastor
can succeed"
Touching upon the subject of prayer,
DR.. Sheridan said that prayers are
natural, as all nations have some form
of prayer. ITO say a man is religious
is equivalent to say that he prays.
There are several kinds of prayer, the
chief of which is the "ejaculatory
prayer
by this we mean the. sweet breath
ing to God whenever we have the op,
portunity, even in our business hours"
he said
1T may be that this prayer is sort
of a distinction between the real and
the nominal Christian. There is no
necessity that business pursuits should
crowd God out of our lives" He spoke
of the private prayer in churches, the
prayer in family and social circles as
well as those which are offered when
one is alone. Worship God in family
circles, as many families which have
been separated would be reunited If
family prayer had been indulged in.
All mans energies must fail if prayer
is not INDUCED in. Pray always and

aginable could be procured for hire; but
that the department could not act has
stirred New York as seldom before in

pealed to to make Bingham make good"
on the allegations and it is stated a move
ment will be started among leading re-
formers to see that Bingham gets money
to secure private aid in uncovering the
crime centres he said he would.
Bingham opened up his heart at the
banquet Of the neutenants OF the depart
ment and besides these adiuncts to the
force, he had as an audiences Governor
Hughes and nearly all the better known
politicians OF the city. The latter were
well scored both by name and Implication.
Bingham defended his department and de-
clared he would not quit although ''every
professional politician in the city has been

His strongest statement. and the ore
that is being said everywhere to-day,
however, was:

The W. c. T. U. County Convention
was held in Hope last Tuesday after
noon and evening in the Methodist
church. Mrs. Ella G. Boise, County
President, called the convention to

Circus Is Coming.

Without any question ola doubt,
the most valuable brute that walks
the face of the earth is Tom-Tom, the
enormous elephant owned by the Yam
kee Robinson Shows. This elephant
is of the Mastodon specie and is ac-
cording to the best evidence available,
over 300 years old. The Singalee
natives of India tell the age of an
elephant by the length of marks of
his tushes. The tushes of Tom-Tom
are over 5 feet in length. No other
elephant known to mankind has ever
carried tushes exceeding 2 feet. The
ivory tushes of this elephant weigh 480
pounds and at the market price Sl1.00
per pound are worth IS, $50. 90. The
value of this elephant is placed at $780,
900. The late Jas. A. Bailey offered
$25, 900 spot cash for a 3 year lease of
this most extraordinary brute. To-
gether with the fact that Tom-Tom is
300 years old he performs a most re-
markable act. Sits down to a table,
eats, drinks, whistles, talks, sings,
says his prayers and gets drunk, plays
musical instruments and shows the in
telligence of a human being. His like
will never be known again. He is
worth coming miles to see.
This most wonderful animated
mountain of flesh will he in Hone.

Another Pioneer Gone.

Joseph M. Snyder died at his
home in Greenview. Steele Co.,
on last Sunday, after a long and
painful illness. He was born in
Bates county, Missouri, April "a,
1925. Emigrating to Dakota in
1882, he homesteaded a piece of
land in Riverside township,
Steele county, where he broke
up the virgin soil with three yoke
of oxen. His was the spirit of
the pioneer, for when hardship
came he never complained. After
this he tried living in MINI esota
and one year in Canada, but
North Dakota was the place for
him.
He bore his pain heroically and
when he saw that his time to de-
part had come he was satisfied.
He was a kind, loving and ten
der husband and father. He
leaves a wife, nine sons and two
daughters to mourn his loss.
Interment was made in the
Cooperstown cemetery, June 9,
Rev. 0. D. Purinton officiating.

|. B. HANNA SPEAKS.

Hon. l.. B. Hanna of Fargo,
Republican candidate for mem
Der of Congress, spoke at the
opera house in this city last Fri.
evening to a fair sized audience.
The speaker gave a good solid
business-like talk, touching on
some of the leading issues Of the
national campaign, and in his
opening remarks gave some
early experiences in this vicinity.
Mr.. Hanna might be termed a
Steele county man, for in 1881 he
filed on a homestead but q short
distance north of this town, be-
fore the present city of Hope was
plated, and in his remarks re-
lated some of the early instances
which brought back to the minds
of many present the early pio-
neer days. One thing noticeable in
Mr.. Hanna's remarks was the
fact that it was free from the
mud-slinging tactics, which has
been so marked with most
speakers. Mr.. Hanna should re-
ceive every republican vote in
Steele county at the primary
next Wednesday. Place an (x)

gala day in Hope. The business
men Of the city had been agitat-
ing the old question as to which
side of Steele avenue could pro-
duce the best ball team composed
ofbusiness men professionals ex-

the question in the regular way
and the game was called at 800
o'clock Monday afternoon. Score:
North II, South 8. The playing
was snappy at all, times and the
ex-stars show that they had not
forgotten how to play the game.
Among the most prominet fea-
lures was the pitching of Har-

great hit and the fast double play
pulled off by Harness, Mallory

not satisfied with the results of the
