The publication of Mr.. Frothingham's views
in regard to the decline of rational religion
has called forth a good deal of c0mment-not
more perhaps than the former leader OF the
free thought movement in this city anticipated
when he consented to make public the change
that had come over his faith. Elsewhere will
be found abstracts of two sermons on this
subject. Mr.. Collyer cOmmends Mr.. Frothlng-
hams manly utterance as "good confession,
and saws shat the trouble with his teaching
was too much reason and too little faith. MT.
Chadwick, on the other hand denies emphau-
cally that the tendency of radical Thought Is
in the direction of materialism. lie contends
that rational religion has made great advances
in the last twenty years, and that the orthodox
churches would be speedily emptied II the
preachers should now set forth distinctly the
doctrines upon which special emphasis was
laid few years ago.
II would be interesting TO know what pc
culiar quality there was in a Baldwin that made
it possible for him to do anything and all
things without exciting the suspicious OF the
men associated with him in business affairs In
the City of Newark The fact is now recalled
that an investigation was demanded three
years ago of the books of the Newark
Aqueduct Board, which Theodore Baldwin
had been keeping for ten years The inves-
tigation disclosed no evidences of embezzle-
ment, but did show carelessness and looseness
which it might be supposed would have raised
an immediate question of the ACCESSIBILITY OF
retaining Mr.. Baldwin as paying-teIler in the
Mechanics Bank, if the directors had had ears
to hear or eyes to see. Part OF the book
keeping had been done on scraps of paper
which had not been preserved; there was
often a delay of six monthsin balancing the cash
book, and of many month, i'll writing up items
in it, The only record of the deposits with
the Mechanics Bank was hcnt by the bank,
and cash receipts were som mes not entered
until years afterward. II 8 a pity that Bald
win was not humOl,st. He might have

The case Of Police Commissioner Nichols, who is
suing Mr. Charles +. MacLean for pay rs Commits
soner during the year that the courts were cousid-
ering the Legality of The removal of Mr.. Nichols,
brings up some nice points of law which the Court
of Appeals viii have to-reyicw. The plaintiff sets
up hat Nr. MacLean was an actual usurper Of tie
place. The defendant, on the other hand, claims
that he was legally appointed by the only rghtful
authority But the rautiif in response sets Mp that
the removal was illegal; that consequently the
appointment Of Mr. MacLean was unlawful, and
that. necessarily. he was an usurper in fact. Mr.
MacLcan did years service and got a years pay,
and TO require him to refund it to the dcposed Com
missioner. who did no duty during that year, is
admitted by the plaintiffs counsel to be a hardship,
but he claims that it is the law, and demands the
pay The facts not disputed, and the case comes
up for argument before Judge Lawrence to-day. II
Will 60 to the Court Of Appeals in any event, and
the case will tins become precedent, establishing
the law a knOtty question, and hence the argu-
ments and the decision are watched with consider
able interest by all lawyers and officials Recovery
from the city in similar cases has been had, but
this Is the first instance In which the deposed
official has sought to recover from lis nawfuly
appointed successor.

The two Republican Aldermen who recently
betrayed their party for reasons best known to
themselves are likely to find what the senti-
ment of the Republicans of NewYOrk is
regarding their treacherous act. A special
meeting of the Republican Central Committee
is to be held for the sole purpose of taking ac-
ton upon this matter, and the District Asso-
Citations to which the two Aldermen belong
will, it is believed, expel them.

lava to simplify and lessen taxes and cues. In
Italy, they claim nothing Of the kind has been dono
| by the Government and under these circumstances
they are unable to compete adyantageously Win
| other nations.
| The truth Of these statements becomes apparent
at once upon an examination of the statistical re-
| ports published recently by the Italian Govern
| ment. According to these. the general commercial
prosperity of the country is greater than 1t has
been at any time within tho last fifty years. the ex-
ports Of 1880 have risen fully fifty per cent as com
pared with those of 1865 the number of vessels
which enter Italian harbors Is constantly
increasing; and yet the statistics unmis-
takably show tho rapid rate at which
the Importance of the service is diminishing. Up
to 1870 the number Of sailing vessels and steam
ships steadily increased. After that period, how
ever, the number Of sailing vessels grew less and
less every year, while steamships became more
numerous, although not enough to cover the loss
entailed by the decrease in the number of sailing
vessels In 1870 the commercial navy OF Italy
numbered 1S,2O1 ships with a tonnage of
1912, 161, manned by 1S4O5O men, OF these
0S3 were sailing vessels with o ton
mage of 9S0,064; lis were steamships with
tonnage of 80 100; the average tonnage for
saili'g vessels being 81. for steamships 271.
In 1875 the number of vessels of every description
had fallen to 1880, though the tonnage had risen
to 1,Ot4337 and the crews numbered 2O4,OS9.
The sailing vessels at that time numbered 10,82S,
with a capacity of 9S7, 100 tons; the steamships
al, with n capacity of 81, lat tons. The average
tonnage for sailing vessels was, consequently, 80,
and for steamers 800. In 1880 the nun
Der OF steamships had been increased to
1913, with tonnage of 7705O, while that
Of the whole fleet had been reduced
from 10 900 TO 1880. the tonnage from 1,044,397
to 922, 14G and the number of sailors to 172,0G9
Briefly summed up, the period from 1870 to 1850
showed decrease in the number of vessels compos-
ing the commercial fleet of 1921, decrease III
tonnage of 9001S from 1875 to 1880 not less than
22,191 and a decrea e in the number of sailors
that manned these vessels of 1881. 1t was
thought at first that tho losses in the number
Of saline vessels woud be fully made up
by the growth Of the steamship service, and
tnat steamers would gradually take the
place Of sailing vessels. This theory, though sup
ported by statistical returns TO 1875, was upset by
the figures of The five succeeding years
The action which the Italian Government will
take upon the forthcoming report, and the result of
the measures winch France has taken recently TO
encourage still further the building Of ships will
undoubtedly receive the careful attention in this
country Of all shipbuilG,r IS and shpowners.

mand in the methods of customs business
makes number of important recommends
TONS Two of these, which ought to
commend themselves to tho early ac-
ton of Congress, look to the abolition of
the vexatious and useless oaths now required
of importers, and the consolidation of phan-
tom Custom Houses with customs districts
doing an actual business. There is no
rule so well established as that which
declares that the multiplication of oaths tends
simply to the increase of perjury, and not at
all to the spread of veracity. In this instance
it tends also to the great and useless
annoyance of merchants. The statement

This time there was no doubt as to the

it caught Dick by the collar, and shook
him till his teeth chartered.
You thought was dead, did your

Dick tremble. "a fine story, indeed, if.

friends and taking too much wine in
honor of the occasion, can't tumble over
his own door step, and be quietly carried
to his room to sleep off his spree, without
some greedy nephew providing around to
order his funeral and take possession of
his property! So it was you, you scOun-

And without further ceremony Richard

Dick cursed his own stupidity for not
thinking of the date of Franks note.
The upshOt of it was that Mr.. Whistler
made another will, in which Richard

teriOusly as he had disappeared, and
made it all right with Selma Jasmyn.

AWONDERFUL FABRIC.
The Process Of Manufacturing Glass
Cloth.

From the Pittsburg, Pa, Commercial
After the mass has gradually become
fused into molten glass two of the EN-
plOyes of the factory, with tOngs, take q
mass of glass out of the furnace and
then pull it slowly in opposite directions
until it gradually stretches along the
floor of the factory, like red-hOt rope
from one end of the apartment to the
other. After sufficient number OF
these long ropes of glass have been
drawn, say of thickness of from half
to three-quarters of an inch in diameter
they are cut into lengths of three feet
each and allowed to cool, becoming an
nealed gradually. They are then taken
into the spinning-roOm. Here there is a
large driving wheel made of wood, eight
and One-half feet in diameter. The per-
| iphery of this wheel is smooth and about
II inches i'm width. This driving wheel
can be revOlved at the rate of 300 revO-
buttons per minute. the motion being
furnished by steam-pOwer. At one side
there is small stand with hOt-air blow
pipe set at right angles with the wheel.
The operator takes one of these bars of
glass three feet long and holds the end
in his hot blast, which is sufficiently hot
to melt the glass. A thread of glass is
then drawn out of the bar with a pair
of pincers, and fastened around the cir
conference of the wheel. The steam is
then turned on and the wheel begins to
revOlve. From the bar of glass held in
the hot flame there steadily runs thread
of glass. At first it is thick, but as the
number of revolutions of the wheel in
crease the thread gradually dwindles
down until it becomes as fine as Cos
samer, or the finest silk thread. If it be
desired to run more than one thread at a
time another end is started and fastened
in the same way and wound around the
wheel at the rate of three or four miles
per minute. Singular as it may appear
the finer the thread is spun the more
elastic and pliable it becomes. In addi-
ton to the pliability it has also a great
tensile strength. After anIimmense coil
of the glass thread has been made it is
bound together in skeins. The next step
in the fabrication of glass cloth is the
weaving. For this purpose a weaving
machine much resembling silk weav-
ing machine is used. The ibers of glass
are stretched across the loom and the
OPOlotOA PooCOO ouO Cpluulv Sluc
to side. thus uniting together the warp
and wool. By regulating the machinery
the texture of the fabric can be made
fine or coarse as may be desired. The
threads which have gained strength by
the degrees of fineness to which they
have been spun, unite together like silk
threads. Not only can a fine-grained
fabric be made, but lace pattern no
matter how intricate, can be exact
ly reproduced. A roll of glass cloth
can be either made of glass Of one color
or Of combination of cOlOrs. Thus deep
amber glass, much resembling gold,
white glass, clear glass and purple and
iridescent glass can be closely woven to-
gether in one fabric. producing mar
velOusly beautiful fabric glittering I'M
der gas-light like an immense setting of
precious gems Of infnitesimal size.

Ventilation.

An illustration of popular ignorance
as to ventilation is furnished by the
Sanitary Engineer, and is as follows:
A gentleman while attending church
one evening found that his feet were lev
cold, so that he had to raise them from
off the floor. Calling the attention of
the sexton to this fact, the latter said,
with some perpleXity:
"Yes, we have good many complaints
of cold feet from others; but 1 don't I'M
derstand the reason why we can't keep
the church warm; we surely have fires
enough"
So saying, he pointed to register in
the floor directly behind the gentleman
in the adjoining pew. Looking around
the latter could see that there was hot
fire in the furnace beneath, and yet no
heat came up. When handkerchief
was laid over the register it scarcely
stirred. The visitor asked the sexton:
Have you any means of ventilation? ?"
mo, sir"
Are there no windows Open?"
"NOne whatever"
"HOw then can you expect the air to
come in here if it can't get out some
where?"
There was no reasOn--the man was
nOn-plussed.
did you ever try to blow in bottle?"
continued the inquirer.
mo, sir"
do you think if you did, that you
could force any more air into bottle by
blowing than was in it before Pile
couldn't say. Never had thought of it.
WELL" continued the gentleman, you
would soon find out, if you tried, that it
was impossible, and neither can you
force air into this church through a
register if you don't open a window or
some other Orifice."
But" the sexton demurred. Opening
a window would let in the cold air,
wouldn't it?"
you just try it," was the response.
"Raise some of the windows on the lee
ward side of the church, and see what
will happen"
1t was done, and instantly the hand
kerchief lying on the register rose half
way to the ceiling with the force of the
ascending current. The sexton stood
and stared in establishment.

FORGETFULNESS.

In the toll Of the day, in the dreams of the
night,
In the golden glow when the sun goes down
In the morning sunbeams shining bright,
One thought like phantom follows me,
And over the face OF the cold, gray lea,
The rustling leaflets, sere and brown,
Whisper a story of sad regret,
And murmer softly, Forget, forget"
For the crosses that come in this work-a-day
world
Cast a shadow dark DER the lives of all,
And we sooner win that crown empearled,
When we bravely bid our SORROWS go,
Checking the hot tears cease1ess flow
Cheering some heart that seems to fall
If those who smile should frown and fret,
This heart of ours could never forget
And it is wrong in this life, which is short at
the best,
To be grieving here, when there's work to do;
For the soul that lives IN the land of rest
Is happier there than here in life,
And knows that for us in the world
great strife
'Tis better far If the tears are few,
And we know each night, when the sun mas set,
There is one day less that we need forget.
