The Rev. David Swing of Chicago repudi
a.es hell. He says that ito let the old defni-
ton of he'll stand untouched is as absurd as to
leave untouched the old definition of plough,
or ring, or beauty" and he adds that sthe
majority of Christians have not for half a
century realized that there was any such hell
as that pictured by the church" ''rhe words
have been repeated as Of old, to some degree,
but the old significance las fallen away, and
there is left behind only the general truth thai
God will punish SIM"

Pemberton, an eminent Judge In the
reign OF Charles H., rose to legal
eminence in a curious way. A rake
and spendthrift, he found himself in
prison, for years, for debt. There he
began to take an interest in all the
debt difficulties of his companions, and
became perfectly versed In bankruptcy
law, whence he turned his attention to
other legal study, and at length emerg-
ed from prison primed with precedents
and cases, which he speedily turned to
valuable account.

What They Want to Investigate.


The Washington correspondent Of
the Boston Journal says that among
the subjects which the Democratic
scandal crusaders specially desire tc
investigate are these:
"Alleged frauds In the letting oi
valuable mail routes in the latter part
of Grants Administration.
"Alleged frauds In construction con.
tracts for $4,000. .000, let by Secretary
Robson aIfew days before he ceased tO
have control of the Navy.
''The old stale jobs Of the District
Ring.
"The alleged combinations which re-
suited In the defeat OF the filibusters
against the Electoral bill.
1.-THE louisiana, Florida, and South
Carolina Presidential votes.
"The restoration to rank of Runkle
and Draper.
Expenditures on public buildings
throughout the country.
Investigation Of the means by which
the Desert land steal was passed In the
last Congress, and the transactions
underit.
1.-THE alleged Encouragement OF the
Agricultural Bureau under the forDer
Commissioner.
"The entire Indian question, just
covered by the Shurz investigation.
"The secret history of the with
drawal Of troops in the South.
"The alleged violation OF law In re-
fusing arms to Southern militia.
"The old stories about naval frauds.
"The allegations of duplicity In
diplomatic relations with Mexico, and
In connection with the non-recognltlon
of Dlaz.
"The officers of the Territories.
"The accounts Of the expenditures OF
the House from the fortieth Congress
until now, including all the investiga-
tions.
"a prying inquest into the opera
tlons OF every department and bureau
Of the Government, especially alleged
frauds In the reissue OF bonds and
currency, and whatever other subjects
the malice and ingenuity Of partisans
can invent. The Investigations of the
FOrtysecond Congress, which 80
disgusted the country, are to be renew
ed, and o considerable portion of the
time of the long session Is to be devot
ed to scandal-mongers, vituperatlon,
and crusade Of partisan hate. 1t Is
not pleasant prospect, and is likely
TO materially interfere with the legisls'
tlon necessary to place the business ol

The San Francisco Chronicle publishes a
list of 24S divorces granted during the past
year in that city. The charge of desertion
occurs most frequently, and there are seventy
seven cases in which the courts held it sufi-
cient. Extreme cruelty is alleged in nine
cases, and ordinary cruelty in fifty-nine. Only
twenty y-nine of the 243 divorces were granted
on the ground of adultery. and twenty-four
for failure to provide. In twenty cases in
temperance was alleged. The Chronicle
thinks the record indicates creditable condi-
tion of public morals in the California capital.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL to the
Cincinnati Gazette says that it is hint
ed that the President, in his forthcom-
ing civil service message, will recon-
mend that the selection of Postmasters
In smaller towns be made by popular
vote, and that the Postmaster General
shall merely confirm the selection
made. This plan was adopted 10 the
Presidents own town In Ohio, and is
said to have given great satisfaction.
Another subject to which the civil
service message is expected to refer Is,
the law which makes four years the
term of Office. A recommendations
nay be made that, instead of this def
mite term, the commission run until
removed for cause.

A SPECIAL election for State Senator, was
held in Beaufort county, S. c., last month,
]. W. Collins, Republican candidate, receiv.
ed 1926 votes, and Elliot, Democrat, 1916; a
Republican majority of $500. The Demo-
cratic election commissioners threw out on
frivolous pretexts about 1900 Republican
votes. This reduced the majority of Collins
to about 800. Failing to reduce this further
the Democratic managers transferred the
"contest" to the Senate.

CHARLES READE has just begun, in Harpers
Weekly, series of letters on "The Coming
Man." the first number of which is printed
this week, and he has never done anything
more strictly Characteristic Of himself. He
begins by defining man TO be an animal COM
posed Of body and mind, and says that the
''vital food of civilized mind is printed
matter" while that ''of q civilized body is
meal, meat, vegetables and water" He then
takes England a. specimen civilized nation,
and inquiries how English men and English
women spend their money, after providing
necessary food and clothing. BE says:
'Ten times as much money goes in adulter-

SELDOM has q more touching story been
told than that of the death of Mrs. John
Church of Cincinnati. The tragedy seems to
have been the result of an illmatched mar
riage, the union of hard, practical business
man to an affectionate, enthusiastic, nervous
woman. A scene said by the wife to have
been attended by violencc-though the impu-
tation is positively denied by the husband
was followed by the breaking up of their
home As usual, the innocent children were
the chief sufferers. Unable to appreciate or
understand why stony barrier should exit
between parents whom they loved, they were
separated, the father taking little Edith, and
the mother little Alice. Alice went down to
the grave, breathing forth with her dying
sigh tender words of the parent who was far
away. Edith alone remained, and all the
wealth of her mothers heart was concentrated
upon her. Many hundreds of miles did the
mother travel to obtain occasional interviews
with her child. The husband remained cold,
distant, implaeahle. At length, after in vain
pleading for reconciliation In the name of
their dead, and for the sake of their living
offspring, she sued for divorce. While the
proceedings were pending she was stricken
down with pneumonia. Her pleas for the
companionship of her child were so pitiful
and so agonizing that her husband could not
resist. Edith was brought to Cincinnati.
But the love light had scarcely frightened in
the mothers eyes when the child was snatch
ed from her. This blow was too much. Her
mind succumbed; she raved necessarily for
Edith, and she died from the shock. The di-
yorce suit is ended.
