REu.rG1ous INDIFFERENCE.

A growing indifference to religious SER
vices is noted in England as well as here.
The Rev. Newman Hal says there is
throughout that country a diminishing
attendance on public worship. Gas a
rule" he adds, Gin u large towns
skilled artisans ignore orr ecclesiastical
arrangements. l do not say they are ag-
gressively hostile or ostensibly infidels,
but they are Indifferent to our ordinary
public services. As a class they do not
90 to Church. To a large extent this is
true also among the upper ranks of
fashion, wealth and intellect" He re-
crets, too, that a majority of English
church-goers content themselves with the
morning services on Sunday, leaving the
churches almost empty in the evening.
His figures as to London are as follows !:
"London has four million Of people, OF
whom one-half might at m time be at
church but for these two millions there
is only church accommodation for one
half, and of these one million of seats
one-half a million are not at any one
time occupied"

Remarkable Statistics # the Num-
her of Children at One Birth.
A man in Illinois having sent to- Wash
ington journal a photograph Of five of his
children who were born on the. same day,
asserting that "no other man could show
a picture of fve," the newspaper man
quiets him with the following statistics
Instances have been found where chill
dren to the number of six, seven, eight,
nine and sometimes sixteen have been
brought forth at one birth. The wife OF
Emanuel Gogo, a laborer near Valladolid,
was delivered June II, 1899, Of five girls.
The celebrated Tarsin was brought to bed
in the seventh month, at Artentuil, near
Paris, July II, 177s, and delivered Of
three boys, each fourteen and a half inches
long and a girl thirteen inches long. They
were all baptized, but did not live over
twenty-four hours. In June, 1889, one
Maria Ruis. of Lucena, in Andalusia, was
successfully delivered Of sixteen boys,
without any girls. Seven Of them were
alive on the 18th Of August following. In
1885 a Muscovite peasant named James Ky
rolf and his wife were presented to the
Emperor OF Russia. This peasant had
been twice married, and was 10 years of
age. His first wife was brought to bed
twenty-one times, namely, four times Of
four children each time, seven times Of
three, and ten times of two, making fifty
seven children who were then alive. His
second wife, who accompanied him, had
been delivered seven times-once OF three
children, and six times of twins. Thus
he had seventy-two children by his two
marriages.

A sINGuLAR DIvoRcE SUIT.

DR.. j. B. Stewart is suing, at Shelby
yille., Ind, for a divorce from his wife,
on the ground OF cruel and inhuman
treatment. Having a large practice, he
is frequently called out at night. His
wife, being jealous, refused to believe
that all his absences from home were pro-
fessional, and demanded that he should
stay in of nights. He said that his pa
tionts would not stand neglect. Then
she adopted the plan of taking poison
whenever he had a night call, thus com
him to remain and doctor her.
She swallowed a deadly drug this way
several times. and her life was saved with
difficulty. The husband claims that
such conduct is a just cause for divorce.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The President

A Miraculous Cure.
Eaw Vo-k c,

1t is now more than a week since Miss
Addie M. Goodrich of Narval, in the State
of Illinois, decided to stop taking medi-
cine and trust wholly to prayer. Miss
Goodrich, who has been bedridden for
years, is q devout Methodist, and some
days ago a friend read to her from the New
Testament the story Of a miraculous cure,
and then prayed that she, too, might be
healed. As the words were uttured, Miss
Goodwin afirms that she felt q sudden &C.
cession Of strength and a desire to rise
from the bed, but her friend dissuaded
her. Then she redonbled her prayers for
health, and got all her pious friends to
pray for her. Finally her doctor told her
to pray for strength to get out of bed the
next morning. assuring her Of his conf
dence that the prayer would be answered.
With this encouragement she prayed con-
%tinuously until the morning arrived, and
with it the doctor. He prayed, and a sis
ter prayed, and then Miss Goodrich got up,
exclaiming, Savior, give me strength"
and walked to a chair-for the first time
in nearly four years. Ever since she has
been growing stronger, and the neighbors
look at her with awe. Her own firm be-
lief is that-she has been supernaturally
cured, and the singular feature Of the case
Is that the attendant physician agrees with
her.

She was a plucky woman, the wife of a
Bradford oil Spectator, who saw her hus-
bands fortune pass away almost in the
twinkle Of an eye by q sudden and heavy
fall in the price Of Illuminating fluid.
Walking into a store she took off her seal
skin sacque and sold 1t. From that place
she went to the jewelers. and disposed Of
her diamonds and all Of her silver. When
her husband returned home, disconsoiate
and downcast, she mel him in the door
dressed In a neat calico wrapper. He had
been a clerk before fortune had smiled
upon him, and she a modest school teacher.
She informed him that she had discharged
all the servants, and they would live as
formerly, she doing the work. She handed
him IS, 900 as the result of selling her jew
elry, and told him to use it. Joy and hope
beamed in his eyes, and found a place in
his heart again. He went again to the
business. In n month be had regained
his former position.

Carson Appeal.
Yesterday morning on the sleeper of the
up train a traveller noticed an old, white
bearded gentleman trying to get in an
o%vercoat. The young and spry traveller
rushed to his assistance, and in helping
him with the garment noticed a good sized
bottle Of whisky protruding from one of
the inside pockets Of the coat. Being Of a
waggish turn, he appropriated the bottle,
got the coat on the stranger and then pull
ing out the flask said:
"Will you take a drink sir
The old man did not recognize the bot
tie, and drawing himself up, remarked
rather severely:
M sir, / never drink"
"It won't hurt you" insisted the wag;
it's the best"
Young man." said the old gentleman,
in a tone intended for the whole car, "if
you insist on drinking whisky you will be
a ruined man at forty. 1t is the curse OF
the land. When / was a boy my mother
died, and the last thing that sainted woman
did was to call me to her dying bedside
and say, John, swear to me that you will
never touch a drop of liquor"
Here the old man clapped his hand to
his side pocket, found it empty, and recog-
nizing the bottle in the hands of the other,
continued,
Except, my dear boy, an occasional
snifter while travelling" and reaching
for the flask he pressed it to his lips, amid
q howl of laughter which shook the car.

conservative wing The latter. which is
chiefly represented by the Irish who re-

ITALY AND FRANCE.

The Marseilles riots have had the effect
of exasperating the Italian people against
France to such an extent that the Govern
ment may quite possibly be driven into a
belligeielt attitude by the pressure, as
many Governments have been before now.
The Tunis affair had previously created
great deal of irritation. In fact the Gov
ernment, knowing Of course how unpre-
pared for war it really is, has Jagged far
behind the nation in its EXPIRE s lions on this
event, and has consequently endangered
its stability. The Marseilles riots, how
ever produced, appear to have occurred
with almost diabolical purpose. One
csnnot but recall tie suspicious timeli.
ness Of the Bulgarian atrocities when
Russia wanted an apology for making war
u2on Turkey The broad effect is to
alienate Italy from France, and even if
the immediate difficulty is tided over 10y
diplomacy, to produce q condition OF I'M
friendliness which will throw Italian GEN.
timent against France the first time it is
necessary to take sides. Bismarck is
quite obviously accused of having brought
about this rupture. Certainly it was his
interest to do it, and Italy has far less
to gain from it than Germany, in the long
run. The Tunis affair did no doubt in
volVe a real humiliation to Italy, and per-
haps a real blow at her commercial sspira-
lions. But it is doubtful whether France
would have thought seriously of the enter
prise had not the willy German Chancellor
caused it to be suggested at the Berlin
Conference, where also the consent of Eng
land to the project was pledged in advance.
Since then the alienation of Italy from
France has been proceeding by slow but
cure degrees, and now the indications are
that the relations between the two cOun.
tries are ripe for rupture of the most serious
kind. 1t is true that Italy is not prepared

Combines ADDRESS TO HIS HENcHmEN.

Conklings address to his henchmen the
other night was n very curious perform
ance, and not the least singular feature in
it was his endeavor to assume that he and
his little coterie are the Republican party,
and that everybody else is an outsider.
No more fragrant experiment in the direc,
ton of making the tail wag the dog has
ever been witnessed than this. Mr.. Conk.
ling has just thrown the United States
Senate into the hands OF the Democrats by
resignation for which there was no
shadow of excuse or justification. He has,
in face of the obvious fact that he cannot
be reelected, done his utmost to prevent
the election of two Republicans. And
while he is thus fighting the Republican
party, and endeavoring TO ruin If he cannot
rule it, he thinks it possible to take the
position that Republcanism resides in
himself and his boiling hackers alone.
When Mr.. Hayes expressed the opinion
that Mr.. Conkling was a monomaniac. a
good many people probably thought the
statement mere figure of speech. But
really his conduct of late goes far to
justify belief that there is a genuine
touch of madness in him. Certainly it is
