The English Women's Emigration Society
was established to aid the superfuous women
of England in finding homes and husbands.
| Agencies have been established in Australia,
in Canada in South Africa and in Iowa. The
bachelors of Queensland have offered two
| hundred free passages month for comely
I women under thirty, and the Home gov
eminent has graciously consented to pay the
passages of a limited number, with no stipu-
lations about age But so difident are English
women that last year only fifty -nine accepted
these offers, and now the society through
AacnatlIan'8 Magazine calls for respectable
and capable loverless but not unloVely
women to go forth for love of God, love of
man or love of money, as missionaries, as
| phiIanthropists, as housekeeperJ or as helps
to subdue the colonies and replenish them.
A company has been formed in New York
for the purpose of constructing an expert

touching or in any way interfering with each
other, without resorting to the expensive
process of insulating them, as has heretofore
| been found necessary in all submerged or un-
| derground wires. This trough may be made
of any size, and hundreds of wires may be
placed in it, side by side and in close prox-
unity, without danger of being brought into
| contact The largest trough required would
seldom equal the size of city gas main or
sewer pipe, and could be laid with as little
trouble and expense, while the small size
necessary to carry the few wires along the
railroads could be laid on the ties outside and
adjoining the railroad track, being depressed
only at the crossings and sidings. If this
experiment is as successful as it is claimed it
will be, it will solve the worst feature in a
difficult problem.
The Controller OF the State of Nevada re-
fused to audit account for Slips which
had been allowed by majority of the board
of commissioners appointed to look after the
affairs of the Nevada Orphan Asylum. The
ground of the Controllers refusal was that
the asylum is a sectarian institution, and that
the State constitution forbids the use of
public funds for sectarian purposes. A pc
tition to the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus to compel the Controller to audit
the account and issue his warrant on the
State treasurer for payment was brought.
From the testimony before the court it ap-
peared that the children in the asylum are in
the charge of Roman Catholic sisters of char
ity, and that every morning and evening they
are gathered in a room where they all kneel
while one of their number recites aloud the
Lords Prayer the Hail Mary, the Apostles
Greed, the Acts of Faith, Hope and Charity,
found in all Roman Catholic manuals of de-
votion, and prayer for the President. The
Protestant children are not required to say
these prayers but, unless special objection is
made, they are required to be present and to
| kneel while they are being said. Sister
Yibianna thought Protestant minister might
be allowed to hold separate religious ser
vice in the asylum if there were enough
Protestant children there to warrant it, and
was sure he would be permitted to see the
| little Protestant orphans in a room by them
| selves and give them such instructions as he
| might see fit. On this showing of facts the
| court held that the State Controller was JUS
| titled in refusing to audit the account, and
denied the mandamus.
