TYLER PREACHED

There was a large congregation at
Gethsemane cathedral this morning to
hear Bishop Tyler's Ash Wednesday
sermon. His text was st. Mark vi.
80 and 81: and the apostles gather
ed themselves together unto Jesus, and
told Him all things, both what they
had done and what they had taught:
and He said unto them, Come We your
selves apart into a desert place and
rest awhile The bishop dwelt on
rest as. the central thought, but he
spoke very plain things in the prog
ress OF his sermon. He emphasized
thai. people should not look upon Lent.
as a time Of sack cloth and ashes, but
rather follow the Lords command to
pray and fast, but to exercise it with
out parade.

UNSoEVED PENAL PROBLEM,
Reforming Criminals by Locking
Them Up With Criminals, a..

mem Up with CRIMINALS.
New York Sun: Anthony Sadaitys
Fl, chief witness in the court of special
sessions against Angelo Silvestro, head
of a gang of Matchmaking d%ynaniters
whose practice includes counterfeiting,
burglary and arson, is so real that he
looks like a wicked hero Of fiction or
the anti-hero of a romance of roguery.'
Quiet of dress, bland, smiling, sup
pressing with difficulty his inclination
to grin, he retails his story of crime
with a sort of smack of satisfaction.
His immortality, his want of a moral
sense, is marvellous, He shows a de-
light and pride in his offenses against
society and the successful devices of
his "pals" and himself in escaping de-
lection. -~ ~hT ..f--
Thirty horses stolen. five burglaries,
between thirty-five and forty dynamit-
ings; that, if he Fdoes not e~xaggerate,
is part of the achievements of this ac-
complished young mans sodality of
~scoundrelS.
What is most disheartening in An
thongs story is the sinister; light, it
throws upon an early and seemingly
an ineXplicable criminal tendency. The
doctrine of total d~epraVity comes to the
mind of this boy, an orphan in infancy,
tells of his .scant education. at an Or
phans' home; of his life on a Sullivan
county farm, where, amid new and
healthful surroundings ar honest and
a happy career might have been within
his reach. How many orphan boys eX-
posed to iron fortune have grown up to
usefulness and honor. Did Sullivan
county bore Anthony? A year or two
after his exile to the country che saw
a chance TO rob a house." took the
chance and was matriculed at Elmfra
reformatory. ~t -.
e.. Why did he want to rob? There the
inSoluble knot. One vessel unto honor
and another vessel unto dishonor: (
From the same cradles side,
From the same mothers knee,
One to long darkness. and the
frozen tide. s,... .,.4
One to the crystal sea.
Anthony began to carry q gun at
Is. Soon after the end of his first FL
mira term he shot at a constable and
went back to alma mater. More thieves
and their cant, a deeper initiation into
criminal plans and hopes. Bad when
he went in, he came, out worse. A Grim
inal life. seemed the normal and nat
ural life. With some of his fellow stu
dents and fellow graduates of Elmira
he united in warfare on society.
Without reflection o N the Elmira re-.
formatory or it's methods, it is not m
proper to say that there is another old
and yet as unsolved problem of pencil
ogy. What canyon expect of early as
sociations with thieves except to be-
come a thief? How can you reform
a boy at the. most plant age, by eX-
posing. him to proficientss in vice? E
And so we leave poor, smiling, ruined
Anthony. ;

SEEKING RELIEF IN
FEDERAL COURT

C.. A. Bernardy. the GAINESVILLE
man who has been engaged in the
potato business to quite an extent,
has filed a petition in the United
States court at Fergus Falls asking
that the. Red River Potato Growers
association Of GAINESVILLE, be ad-
Judged bankrupt. He alleges that
the association owes debts in ex-
cess of h statutory amount, his
own claim against it being $3.50.
and that 1t has committed an act Of
bankruptcy by paying the firm of
Opgrande Bros, Of Halstad, the
sum of $4,000 recently, making that
firm in effect a preferred creditor. At
torneys at Moorhead and GAINESVILLE
look upon the last move Of Bernhardy
as a big bluff and a mere effort to
make delay.

Evening Grain Letter.

= Chicago, Feb. 25.-Wheat: Scored
another new high but failed to main
ftafn the full advance and closes to-
night f~ractionally higher than yester-
day. The continued strength abroad
and further sales of hard wheat to
sea board exporters coupled with the
advance in coarse grains was the con-
tr1butin.5 cause. The northwest mar
kets were underselling pressure, al
though. the news from both sides of
the border continues sensationally
strong. The foreign demand will con
tlnue the all important market factor.
They show a tendency to follow our
advance and when the demand be-
comes keen enough it will force our
futures higher.
Corn-Started easy but gained
strength, under the stimulus of heavy
short covering and closed Sac higher.
There was apparently no betterment in
cash demand but there were indications
or a much smaller country movement.
when shorts started to cover a much
larger interest was revealed than the
pit specialists dreamed Of. Normal win
ter weather over the entire belt with
inolcations OF moderating temperatures
did. not help the cash demand very
greatly. The recent leading short in
tereSts publicly espoused the buying
side of corn and were early the heav-
lest purchasers. The situation tonight
depends entirely on cash demand fol-
lowing the futures. The short interest
quire further important buying or
some new bull incentive to work prices
Of futures higher.
Oats-Followed corn to higher grade.
On the advance the selling pressure
was small n cash interests and COM
buy Ing side.
