Rutledge.] Says the News and Comment man, in the Duluth News-Tribune (of course, it isn’t Mary McFadden, she’s away now, and wouldn’t think of such things, anyway): ““Of course Bemidji is not increas- ing her water supply on account of the legislative act limiting the num- ber of saloons in Minnesota cities. Who suggested such a thing?”’ Swear off, brother,as has the writer hereof, for a couple of years, and you will care little whether the legis- lature limits or increases the number of “liquid emporiums.” We and Frank M. Eddy are now quenching our thirst from the rain barrel. Sweden has adopted universal is several degrees suffrage, which more freedom than is enjoyed in Texas.

At Tsuantsiu, where the malady is showing its most viru- lent form, there are upwards of fifty deaths from the disease daily. This is the first degree of the Handcar Club. the Ft. Francis attorney, whose cockney tales were thoroughly en- joyed, being entirely original and told with a rich accent of “Old England.” Mr. Erwin, horticulturist and prune producer for Trondson & Witting, sang several selections, telling in a voice broken witn emo. tion how an ancient Irish gentle- man attempted to purloin the blarney stone in ¢‘ould Ireland.” At about midnight, C. E. Bord- sen, agent at Blackduck, and Bert McLaughlin, secured a battery and some wire and charged sev- eral of the seats about the camp- fire and also put in an extra amount of electric fluid into the handle of the refreshment box; there was resultant “mixing up” and the entire party became sur- charged with tne electric stuft, After several hours’ rest, the party fished for the better part of the forenoon; and in the afternoon the crowd assembled at the head- quarters for the purpose of hold- ing memorial serviees. T, ]. Burke presided as chair- man of the services and addresses were delivered by J. O, Harris and William Josie, Mr. Harris spoke for half an hour on “The Landing of the Irish Brigade on Plymouth Rock” and the subsequent conquest of the Red River Valley by the Danes, closing his speech with the following toast to St. Patrick: “Here’s to good old St. Patrick, “He never had much wealth; *‘He drove the snakes from Ireland, *“Here’s a bumper to his health. “But if too many bumpers “You get beneath your skin, “You'll forget good old St. Patrick “And see the snakes again.” C. A. Cassidy of Minneapolis led the quartette in a sacred selection, “'Shall We Gather at Milwaukee, the City Famous for Amber Fuid.” William Josie was the principal speaker. He told of strewing the graves of departed lumberjacks with bacon rinds and tin cans; said the lumberjack ‘was ‘the real American bird, and finished by singing ‘‘Asleep in the Deep,” in a heavy bass that was good to hear, As a farewell action the guests unanimously adopted resolutions thanking Messrs. Trondson and Witting for their unexcelled hos- pitality, Mr. Josie for his elegant singing, and the balance of the] entertainers for the silent approval, John McDougald, the mayor of Blackduck, was present at the meet- ings of the club and extended the freedom of the village to the visitors, and assisted very materially in mak- ing the outing a success. Albert (“Pat”) Heft also did everything in his power to assist the occassion to and several others. Week-End Excursions.

New York, June 1.—A national con- ference in the interest of the Amer- {can negro was opened in the United Charities building in this city by Pro- fessor Burt G. Wilder of Cornell uni- versity and Professors Livingston Far- rand, B, R. A. Seligman and John Dewey of Columbia university. The conference will be in session two days. < Professor Wilder, who is the author of .a “Form of Bequest of Brain,” brought from Ithaca several brains, including those of an ourang-outang, an unscrupulous politician, an illiter- ate colored janitor and an eminent mathematician. With these exhibits as a basis the speaker made some in- teresting deductions. In an address before the conference Professor Wilder said: “The brain of the average Amer- ican negro seems to be about two ounces lighter than that of the aver- age white man and .probably there occurs more frequently than in the white man a less development of thg prefrontal lobes. These two condi- tions render it likely the whites will remain the dominant race. But there are exceptions to the above general conditions of both kinds and among both races.” LOGICAL EGZEMA GURE ENDORSED BY PHYSIGIANS After treating eczema for years as a practically incurable disease, the medical world 1s greatly inter- ested in the discovery that it is not a blood disease at all, but is due to a parasite in the skin itself. This parasite is easily destroyed by the external application of a compound of oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc. This will quickly kill all eczema germs, while soothing and refreshing the skin. Dr. R. A. Folkers, of Duluth, Minn , tells of the success in treat- ing patients: “There was 2 man here suffer- ing from eczema for this last four- teen years, and I applied the D. D. D. treatment. I also applied it to'a man of West puluth, Minn., who has been suffering with Rheumatism for fourteen years, and Eczema in his feet and the second treatment in both cases cleared the skin almost absolutely, The first applicatlon is a balm, and its soothing effect is beyond expression, I shall never be with- out it, and shall use it among my patients altogether.” No matter how terribly you suffer from eczema, salt rheum, ringworm, etc., you will feel instantly soothed and the itch allayed at once when a few drops of this oil of wintergreen com- pound is applied. The cures all seem to be permanent. We recom- mend it with D, D. D.
