“eration; and death in ' GONFERENCE ADJOURNED BEST MEET YET HELD Continued from First Page The farewell address of the Con- ference was delivered by Rev. G. N. Luccock, of Oak Park, Chicago. The theme centered around the fare- well address of Moses to the child- ren of Israel, Deut. 30:19. Blessings unappropriated become witnesses against us. God is not hard on a man who has lack of chance. God gives choice between life and death, and since the wages of sin is death, we deserve death. But He gives us a choice and advises us to choose life. As our judge God must deal with us and our sin vigorously and enforce His laws; but as a friend He has paid for our sins by the blood of His Son, ““There’s a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty.” Life’s journey is like a walk down the corridor of an art gallery. On one side are beautiful life pictures, and on the other side repugnant death pictures. Everything that has life is made beautiful, while the dead things of this world are very repulsive. But all men love to remain on earth, even when they love heaven. Why has God made this instinct of life so strong? God wants us to be in love with life and he wants the idea of death to be repulsive. To reach heaven we must pass through death. He sets before us life in gracious experiences—regen- repulsive experiences—degeneration. There is no weakness in human life, but that God can show an ex- ample of how he has uplifted a man in similar circumstances; and what he can do for one man he can do for another, He sets before us death in de- generate man, for he was once an in- nocent babe. The soul in the man is the same as the soul in the babe. Thus he shows us death by repulsive experiences. The time of this choice between life and death is in youth; for this is the time of pleasure and a youth is more easily moved in any direction than an older person. The way to life is Jesus Christ. You cannot choose sin without choosing death, and by neglecting Christ, even being indifferent to Him, you are choosing the way of death. God is eager that men should choose life. “Behold, I set before you life and death; Therefore choose life,” Adjournment. Examinations Began Today.

Ritchie, super- intendent of the Bemidji city schools, has proven himself an adept in the art of preparing pupils for teaching in the rural schools. Mr. Ritchie possesses the " taculty - of— lucidly demonstrating the intricacies of the profession and of impressing them indelibly upon the pupil’s mind. The students gather inspiration from his novel methods and achieve highly beneficial results within a remarkably short space of time. The professor has made a good impres- sion, not algne upon the pupils, but upon their parents and the public generally. = Mr. Ritchie’s classes were in general lessons, arithmetic, grammer, spelling and algebra. “Teachers who have taken the four weeks’ training course and go forth to work next fall will do so prepared to improve the schools over which they preside.” ONLY ORE ESCAPES Gasoline Launch Containing Ten Men Is Overturned.

They say. they climbed to the top of one of the sleepers as the traln was pulling out of Buffalo, not realizing the terrific :);posure and perilous nature of the rip. A few miles out of Buffalo, as the 8peed of the train increased and the mofse rose to a roar, the men clung desperately to one of the little guard rails for dear life and finally fainted. A Lake Bhore rallway employe found the men when the train pulled into Cleveland. He dashed water in their faces and finally poured restora- tives down thelr throats to bring them back to consciousness, The men were then arrested. The men said they were broke and were trylng to beat thelr way to Chicago. Both were well dressed. EDISON GETS INJUNCTION. Medicine Company Used His Picture In Advertising.

Rome, July 2 .—The concession by which ex-Minister of Public Instruc. tlon Nasi, who is charged with the em- bezzlement of $500,000 from the state funds, is allowed to be imprisoned in his own house has not appeased his sympathizers in Sicily and the disor- ders there continue.

Mealth of : QUETON ROK RANGE CITIZENS CONDEMN STRIKE Mass Meeting Held at Eveleth Adopts Resclution to That Effect and As. sures Protection to All Men Wha Desire to Resume Work. St. Paul, July 2 .—Governor John A. Johnson, tired but well satisfied with the results of his trip, has re turned to St. Paul from the scene of the miners’ strike on the range, He is still firm in his belief that as yet there 18 no occasion #for calling upon the militia to maintain order in the strike district and that thexre will not be. Assurances from both the mine owners and the leaders of the strike have put the governor in a most op- timistic frame of mind as regards the peaceful settlement of all trouble. Teofila Petriella, for the miners, promised that no effort would be made, to ‘molest those who wish to go back to work. “We will use moral persua tion only,” said the strike leader. “We will talk with the men at their homes and try to get them to join with ug but will not use force.” - Governor Johnson's fifst stop after leaving Hibbing was at Eveleth, Here he was met by a delegation of 1,200 miners, headed by a brass band, marching through the streets. They carried a large United States flag, but the red flag was nowhere in evidence, The governor made a short address at the city hall, in which he emphasized the necessity of keeping order and avoiding violence. At Virginia Gov- ernor Johnson also conferred with large "delegations of strikers and olti- zens. In Virginia the situation has been somewhat more intense than elsewhere, unless it be at Eveleth. CITIZENS OPPOSE STRIKE Condemn Western Federation of Min-| ers in Resolution, Duluth, July 2'—That the an- nouncement that the backbone of the strike on the iron ranges was broken was not premature is being proven by the latest developments. On Monday morning the whistles will blow at the Fayal, Adams and Spruce mines at Eveleth, two of the largest properties on the ranges, and the men who want to return to work may do so then. A rousing meeting of the citizens, called by Mayor Jess- more, was held and between 1,400 and 1,500 people assembled. Resolutions were passed condemning the Western Federation of Miners and assuring protection to all men who desired to return to work. That the strike leaders feel that their influence in Eveleth is being -Wedkonod ig shown by the fact that they are congregauns there. Therg iy a strong sentiment in Eveleth- ¢hat that city is being made the dumping ground for all of the strike agitators and there is a movement on foot to drive them out of town. The chief of police stated that they would not be allowed to make street speeches or hold street meetings. - At Chisholm 200 Austrians and Mon- tenegrins who have been idle all week marched out to the Monroe Tenner and Glen locations and went to work. They were under a guard of citizens, headed by the chief of police, At Hibbing all is quiet and matters are progressing most satisfactorily. At the Sellers stripping work there are 267 men employed, which 1s very near a full crew. On all other strip- ping work larger crews are employed. It is admitted that the federation has been gaining new members, but it is a fact which cannot be denfed that many of the new members are going in to secure the strike benefits. The federation has purchased a store at Hibbing and is running it for the ben- efit of the strikers. KOSHER SHOPS CLOSED. Jewish Section of Philadelphia Pa . trolled by Pr'ice. Philadelphia, July : .—All of the kosher butcher shops in this city are closed as a result of Thursday's dis- order aud-all meat not spoiled-by the crowds was returned to the whole salers for storage.

The police keep the streets free of crowds and there was: no disorders of any consequence. All of the prisoners held for a hearing were discharged from custody by the magistrates wm{ the exception of one woman who was held in bail charged. with inciting to riot. The retail kosher butchers have appointed a committee to call upon the wholesalers and en- deavor to obtain a concession in the wholesale price of meat. The kosher butchers say they sympathize with their customers, but claim the prices maintained by the wholesalers com- pelled them to increase the cost of the meat in order to make a falr profit Belfast Strike Partially Broken. Belfast, July 2 —Compromise has vesulted in a partial break of the strike among the dock laborers of this port that has been going on for a month or more. A thousand men have gone back to work unloading goal steamers. Inasmuch as they can now get fuel the factories that closed down will be able to reopen in a day or two.

Warner charged courses in the veins of his stepmother, Mrs, 1sabells Rob- Inson Warner, was made the subject of final arguments in. the noted War- ner will case before Circult Judge Cochra; - z The white haired widow, who 18 eating $1,600,000, was 1o court with her two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Har- rison Mettler of Chicago and Mrs. Ara- bella Warnér Bell of Clinton. She listened attentively to Attorney Fuller, who made the argument in behalf of Commissioner Warner, who is seeking to prevent his stepmother from break- ing his father’s will. Attorney Fuller painted Mrs. War- ner-as a cunning siren, the daughter of poor parents, who had drawn into her meshes John Warner, the banker. All the evidence, Attorney Fuller tnsisted, showed that Isabelle Robin- son had planned a hasty marriage and that she did not allow her husband to see her family for more than an hour on the day of her marriage, May 28, 1874. Mrs. Warner emphatically says her father was white. She signed, she 8ays, a pre-nuptial agreement walving her dower only after the aged banker had decefved her about the value of his estate. NAVAL PLANS UNCHANGED Japanese Programme Not Enlarged by Recent Events. Parls, July 2/—Gil Blas publishes un interview with Vice Admiral Ijuin, ctommander of the Japanese squadron now at Brest, on the Japanese ravy. Asked if Japan hed not decided in view of recent happenings to enlarge her programme of naval construction the vice admiral replied: . “We have a naval programme for several years ahead and we shall exe- cute it punctually and rigorously, as do the great Hatlons of Europe. But this programme has not been enlarged by recent months and it stands as it did when originated by the admiralty last year.” . Contlnuing, the vice admiral sald it was inexact to declare that the Japa- nese loan would be used for the in- crease of naval power and explained that this money would be devoted to the construction of rallroads and other communications in Manchuria. “We are satisfied with the navy,” Vice Admiral Ijuin went on, “and we belleve this branch will be able to cope with all eventualities. The Japa- nese parliament, while refusing noth- ing for natlonal defense, holds us rig- orously to the naval appropriations and these we never exceed. We are to build three warships of the type of the Tsukuba, but more powerful, and they are to be constructed in Japanese yards from material furnished by Japanese industries,” QUEER PRANK OF LIGHTNING Sets Fire to Factory, Then Turns on Automatic Sprinkler, Augusta, Ga., July %!.—A storm which swept over Augusta did much damage to property and incalculable damage to the fruit and shade trees.
