P MUCH INTEREST SHOWN Ik CHURGH SERVIGES Large Congregations Attended Divine Worship Yesterday in Both the Morning and Evening. The Presbyteriar church was profusely and beautifully dccor. ated with lattice and festoons of green and white, set off by ever- greens and’| completed with beautiful flowers, Easter lilies, roses, hyacinths, and other blooms. The church has never been more exquisitely decorated.. A picture of the interior was taken by Mr., Hakkerup this morning. A large afttendance was present at the morning service, which was a communion service, when eight were received into the church. Mr. Moyer sang “I am the Resurrection,” in a very acceptable manner. Mrs, Warfield’s organ voluataries, interludes and postludes, were especially fine both morning and evening. Mr. White spoke briefly on the connection of Easter with the sacrament of the Lord’s supper and the necessity for Christian lives which show forth Christ to the world. Ia the evening the church was crowded and numbers of people were turned away for lack of room. The jury attended in a body. Mr. Moyer played a very fine violin solo, Miss Boyer sang “The Resurrection,” by Shelley, and the choir rendered the anthem “Why seek ye the living among the dead.” All the music was especially geod. The ser- mon was an Haster wmeditation from the text ‘“‘He is not here, but 1s risen.” The congregation packed the Methodist church yesterday both morning and evening ard the services were of a high order. The soloists of the day, Miss Blanche Boyer, Mr. DeLong, Miss Burtyce Brannon, Mrs. Mabel Ritchie and Miss Ida Brown, appeared at their very best and delighted the audience and the numbers by the choir were fine. The story of Patsy, by Mrs. Geo. A. Phipps of Wy- oming, was one of the sweetest things heard in Bemidji. She will be a great favorite with our people. The offerings of the day were exceptionally good. Title Granted at Last. The original townsite of Spooner on the Rainy river near Baudette, which was staked out three years ago and application made to the government for title under the Government Townsite Laws, has at last been patented; the title running to Francen, Stanton and others of Interna- tional Falls and the west two tiers of blocks to H. O’Neal of that village, who was one of the original squatters on the land. The clearing up of the title to this land, which cemprises 160 acres, will be a great relief to quite a number of enterprising business men who erected sub- stantial buildings on some of the lots in this tract and spent much money in clearing up the streets, etc., and perfecting the title. The townsite is well located commanding half a mile of Rainy river frontage, immediately across from the City of Rainy River, Ontario, where the Shev- Lin interests have a large saw- mill, and is only & half mile up river from the large sawmill of the Shevlin-Mathieu Lumber Co. in the plat recently laid out and called East Baudette but now in the village of Spooner. At least one street will be extended to the intersection with one of the streets of Hast Baudette and turppiked and graveled this spring so that the new tract will become & valuable addition to East Baudette. Those interested in the land anticipate a rice busi- ness in residence lots this year and hope to get considerable business interests in their pert of the village also. Commercial Club Meeting.

All Fences Must Be Removed From Puklic Lands. ‘Washington, April 1.—Secretary Garfield has found it necessary to in- form Governor Franiz of O! homa, as he did Coverner Breoks of Wyoming cn Thursday last, that he ¢an make no exceptien in favor of Oklahoma iz respect to the order for the removal of the fences on public lands and he 50 notified the governor. In his ap- peal for delay Governor Frantz said that practically. all of the public do- main in that territory had been ab- sorbed by the land grants in the pros- pective state ond he urged that the lands conld be renied to better ad- vaniage if the fence order was not enforceu He added that “cattlemen using these lands re ready to pay rental to the state if the order be held not to apply to Oklahoma, but want to know immediately if the ovder is to apply so as to remove fences.and herds and abandon pastur Such abandonment would cause large loss to the eds mal funds of the tevri tory and ."

REAL ISSUE LOST SIEHT CF FLOOD CF INVECTIVE MARKS CHICAGO'S MAYOR- ALTY CONTEST. BITTER wite Chicage, April 1.—The fish methods which have become pred inant In the local municipai camy seem to increase every day. The reai issne at stake, wkich involves the method of improving the local trans- portation system, has been almost lost in the ficod of invective, vituperation and libel suits threatened and actually begun. Threats of criminal -prosecu- tion are being hurled back and forth bétween individual politicians and be- tween the newspapers supporting the rival candidates. Such choice ep ithets as “liar,” “perjurer,” “thief, “grafte:” and “human polecat” are of every day occurrence. Actnal figures on the possible result are exceedingly difficult to obtain. The city of Chicago is normally Demo- cratic in a municipal campaign, but this year tbere are strong delegations which have gone from the Republican ranks to Mayor Dunne because of their disinclination to vote for Busse. On the other hand there is a large size element in the Democratic ranks which does not approve of much that Mayor Dunne has accomplished or failed -to accomplish and these will also bolt the party ticket. The actual amount of these desertions it is im- possible to vate. The party man- agers as usual claim with much em: phasis the coming eclection of their candidates. Mayor Dunne asserts that he will be returned to cfiice by a vlu- rality of not less than 380,000. The Republicans claim an equal excess in voles for Busse. TWENTY-TWO KNOWRN DEAD. Six Others Likely to Succumb to Their Injuries. Colton, Cal, April 1.—The list of those who met death in the wreck of the Sunset express in the Southern Pacific yards has been completed and the search for additional bodies sup- posed to he buried under the debris of the demolished cars has been aban- doned as useless. The corrected list of dead, including two men who have dfed since the accident, is twency- two. Highteen of these were Italians, nearly all of whom were immigrants on their way to San Francisco. Fully half a dozen injured are re- ported in a condition so precarious that death is but a matter of hours. ‘With but four exceptions all the fin- jured have been removed to Los An- geles or have proceeded on their jour- neys. A great many of those who were. slightly imjured left Colton on the relief trains and were able to pro- ceed to hotels after reaching Los An- geles. APPEAL TO SECRETARY ROOT. Jews Ask United States to Aid Rou- manian Kinsmen. Washington, April 1L.—Secretary of State Root has received a number of appeals from Jewish organizations in this country for the exercise of good offices by this government for the pro- tection of the Jews in Roumania, who are suffering from the excesses of the rebellious peasantry of that country. So far the secretary has been unable to see how he could make any repre- sentations on the subject with ben- efit to the distressed people in view of the fact.that the uprising of the beasantry appears to be political and directed against the throne, which is doing everything possible to stop the disorders. Knives Are Tiny Saws. Knives, n> matter how carefully sharpened, are little saws. The grind- ing away of the steel, done by the stone, is not an even work, but when the edge gets thin is a process of tear Ing away tiny bits of stecl by the grit of the stone. This tearing makes the teeth. A fine stone makes fine tceth, a coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving knife used on meat is sharpened on coarse stone or a steel and has ¢ teeth, although its edge is thick. It action in parting the meat is more that of a saw than a fine wedge. No matter how soft-it may. be it will not cut easily unless it is drawn over the meat and not simply pressed down. A v however, with its paperlike edge, will cut into flesh with a simple pr It is a wedge dividing the fibe: flesh just as a wedge of iron divides the fibers of the log it splits.

Luck In Falling, “It's a pecnliar thing the tricks that fuck will now and then play a chap,” said a prominent physician recently. “Take, for instance, the breaking of bones in one’s body. Did you ever stop and think how very many hard and high falls a man can have, light on rocky greund with half his body twisted under the other half, so to speak, amd come off with not even a seratch? Then, again, a fellow will Just trip over his own foot and, faliin: to the ground, break a leg or an arm.’ A good many w v it all depends on how one alights. but that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with it, as I have seen a man alight in a cer- taln way from a high fall and never injure himself, and then again have I seen a second chap alight in the same identical way and Lreak a leg and an arm.”—Columbus Dispatch, Shifting the Blame.

The Peculiar Frigate Bi The frigate bird is a native of tmp- ‘eal seas and rarely comes to land ex-| 2ept during the breeding season. It -1as the habit, unusual among sea birds, of nesting in trees, large companies of them building together in the tops of, ‘he tallest mangroves. Like the cor-' morant and the albatross, the frigate bird lays but one egg. It lives by fish- Ing and also by robbing other fishers of what they have caught. In plumage the frigate bird is brownish black, with metallic green and purple reflections The dilatable throat sac in the male i3 of bright scarlet, while the female, of a duller general hue, has a w! on the breast. It is a beautiful sig lo watch one or more floatin~ overhead rgainst the deep bluc the lonzg forked tail alternate opening and shutting like a pair of scissors and the head, which is, of course, kept to wind- ward, inclined from side to side, while the wings are to all appearance fixedly extended, though the breeze may be constantly varying in strength and di- rection. An Egyptian Custom. More than 1,000 years ago Herodotus observed a remarkable custom in Egypt. At a certain season of the gear the Egyptians went into the des- , cut off branches from the wild palm and, bringing them hack to their gardens, waved them over the flowers of the data palm. Why they performed this ceremony they did not know, but they knew that if they neglected it the date crop would be poor or wholly ocdotus offers the quaint that along with these branches there came from the desert certain flies possessed of a “vivifiv vie- tue,” ich somehow lent an exuber- ant fertility to the dates. But the true rationale to the incantationis now ex- plained. Palm trees, like human be- Ings, are male and female. The garden plants, the date bearers, were females, the desert plants were males, and the waving of the branches over the fe- males meant the transference of the fertilizing pollen from the one to the other. The Nangers of the Mines. Great and mystically dreadful is the earth from a mine’s depth. Man is in the implacable grasp of nature, Ithas only to tighten slightly and he is crushed like a bug. His loudest shriek of agony would be as impotent as his final moan to bring help from that fair land that lies like heaven over his bead. There is an insidious silent en- emy in the gas. If the huge fanwheel on the top of the earth should stop for a brief period there is certain death, and a panic more terrible than any occurring where the sun has shone en- sues down under the tons of rock. If a4 man way escape the gas, the floods, the “squeezes” of falling rock, the cars shooting through little tunnels, the pre- carious elevators, the hundred perils, there usually comes to him an attack of “miner’s asthma” that slowly racks and shakes him into the grave.--Ste- phen Crane. Ptolemy’s Big Boa Ptolemy (Philopator) was fond of building big boats. One of these is said to have been 420 feet long, 57 feet broad and 72 feet deep from the high- est point of the stern. This vessel had four rudders or what some would call steering oars, as they were not fasten- ed, each forty-five feet long. She car- rvied 4,000 rowers, besides 3,000 ma- rines, a large body of servants under her decks and stores and provisions. Her oars were fifty-seven feet long, and the handles were weighted with lead. There were 2,000 rowers on a side, and it is supposel that these were divided into five banks. That this ex- traordinary vessel ever put to sea is doubted, but that she was launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians are agreed. ' Getting Round It. A famous mountaineer said of moun- tain climbing at a dinner in Brooklyn: “Peaks that seem inaccessible may be climbed by turns and twists. Moun- tain climbing is a question of getting around the bad places. Getting around your difficulty—that is the secret of mountain climbing. Liszt, the great musician, had the ability to get around things; hence I am sure he'd have made a good mountaineer. Once at aL dinner Liszt's hostess cried in a horri- fied voice that there were thirteen at table. “‘Don’t let that alarm you, madam,’ said Liszt, with a reassuring smile, 'T'll eat for two.’” If Lion Pulls and Horse Pulls. If a lion and a strong horse were to pull in opposite directions, the horse would pull the lion backward with comparative ease. But if the lion were hitched behind the horse and facing in the same direction and were allowed to exert liz strength in backing he could easily pull the horse do upon his haunches or drag Lim across the ring, ‘0 much greater is his strength when sxerted backward from the hind legs than in forward pulling.—Chambers’ Tournal.
