pot, perhaps the most exquisite that

ever turned out.
BY some unlucky chance the
Queen passed through the salon
containing it, and, of course, made
straight for 1t. She did not praise

The Duchess quickly turned the
conversation, remarking about some

the walls which it was her idea to
get rid of shortly.
The Duke tried in vain to eaten
her eye over the Queens shoulder.
She would not look. A cold perspi-

No, she would not look, and the
poor Duke felt his knees giving way

OF the second they say, Yes, she's

w. j. CLAPP AND n. F. EMERY
WERE ELEcTED-INTEREsTING
ADDRESS BY REV. n. A. kERNEN
OF MooRHEAD WHO TALKED
ON INDIA's GOVERNMENT.

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Commons club occurred last
night at the commercial club rooms,
About twenty members and one or two
invited guests sat down to dinner. In
the absence of Pres. A. J. Weeks, and
also the vice president, Professor Min
ard presided. Several matters of
routine business were taken up and
disposed of. J. w. Clapp and H. F.
Emery were elected members.
The speaker of the evening, the Rev.
H. A. Kernen of Moorhead, was then
introduced and gave a very interesting
and instructive address upon govern
mental conditions in India. He spoke
from personal experience, as he had
spent four years in India. He briefly
described the government of India, and
gave the English government great
credit for the work it had done and
was doing there. He spoke of the con-
f1ict between the Mohammedans and
Hindus and made it plain were it not
for the English authority these two
peoples would be at war with each
other.
He praised the scheme of education
and all other forms of modern progress,
and said that the present unrest in
India was due very largely to the fact
that the Indians were becoming edu-
Gated and naturally longed for a great
er share in government. This Mr..
Kernen showed that the English were
giving them. At the close of Mr.. Ker-
mems address, he answered numerous
questions. The club gave Mr.. Kernen
a rising expression of appreciation.

Discussed Pure Water,

The subject discussed al the meet
ing of the mems seminar Of the Con-
gregational church. yesterday, was in
spired by the recent action of the city
council voting for an ordinance to sup
ply the funds to furnish pure water
for the city of Moorhead. The OBJ
ject of the discussion was to obtain
information and the facts and sta
tistics were given by A. M. Hopeman,
city engineer, in a concise and
under terms which all could under
stand. Questions potent to the requir-
ed details in the work Of securing
the desired supply of water and the
means Of supplying it through the
mains were asked by individual men,
bers, but under the rules Of the semi
mar no formal suggestions were made
or action taken. All present conced-
ed that the information on this very
important subject, impaired by Mr..
Hopeman was as valuable as it was
interesting.
