She WonIdn,t be a Nun.
5 Monthly for June.

Demorests Monthly for June.
A young lady in Montreal entered
convent in that city, but she soon tired
of the monotony and pettness of the
dull life she was leading. She now
wishes to be released from her vows,
but the church refuses, and under con-
vent laws she will be communicated
if she enters the world again without a
dispensatiOn from the pope. This is
really matter in which the civil law
should interfere. In period of des-
pOndency and physical weakness. such
Us frequently occurs in the lives of
young women, they are peculiarly
susceptible to abnormal religious in
tluences. At such times they enter
converts, a step they soon after vely
bitterly regret They have become,
without any crime, prisoners for life.
There should be a commission in every
state to make annual visitations of all
nunneries, so as to see that no woman
is kept in bondage who desires to live
in the world in which she was born.
Nothing Is SO cruel as q lifelong inn
prisOnment in n cheerless nunnery,
shut oTt from the love and sN mpathv
of ones fellow beings. No doubt many
nuns find relief from the mouOtony
of their life in charitable and religious
work; but all women shut out f. ON the
ties of home, and doomed to live with
out husband or children must suffer
from their unnatural isolation, and the
community should see to it that if thev
should wish to unshackle their bonds
they should be allowed to 60 free.

Sensational journalism,


leNas Strings
a Houston paper, referring to the
death of lady, says she was overtaken
by fatal attack that ended in death.
That fatal attack should ever end in
death seems so wildly improbable that
the matter requires investigation. If,
however, it should be shown that the
fatal attack really did end in death,
then we are prepared to believe an al
most incredible statement in a San
Antonio paper, that there were poor,
starving and INDECENT paupers in that
city who needed food. 1t startles even
the most careless to read that, in this
age and country, there are not only
paupers, but that these paupers are
poor. Not only that, but we are
called on to credit the statement that
the poor paupers are in INDECENT cir
cumstances. This is rs far as our
credulity will permit us to 90. The
final assertion, that these poor, INDECENT
ana starving paupers need food, tran
scends the bounds of the most extrava-
giant sensationalism. If journals of
standing continue to make such reck-
less assertions, sooner or later the read
ing public will lose confidence in them.

Our Mexican Neighbors.
orest's Monthly for Jnne.

DelhOresJs MOnthly Tor Jnne.
The several railroad lines which are
now being constructed in Mexico to
connect with our southwestern trans
pOrtatiOn system will effect great
changes, not only in that country, but
in its relations to the United States.
Local rebellions and brigandage can
not exist in ceurtry with great rail
way system, and the backward civliza-
ton of Mexico in the past has been due
to the insecurity of life and property,
because of the impotence of the central
government to suppress rebellions in
the distant provinces, and put an end
to the robbers and bandits who make
travel unsafe. The accession of Presl-
dent Diaz to power marked the begin
ming ofa new era in Mexico. True, he
overthrew the previous government by
force, but he governed well and wise
ly, and the executive who succeeded
him again weilds authority with his
support. Diaz, it is understood, will
again be President when the executive
now in power retires. For obvious
reasons, the Mexicans have been
suspicious of our government, and
have extended special trade favors to
England, France, and Germany which
they have heretofore Withheld forus. Re-
Gently, however, a new treaty has been
negotiated, but is not yet indorsed by
our senate. Before its ratification the
real ruler of Mexico, eX-President Diaz,
has paid us a visit. He has travelled
through all parts of our country, and
has been received with great consider
alton by our leading citizens. He eyi-
IDENTIFY realizes that the time has come
when better feeling should exist be-
tween the two nations. While it is
probably the destiny of Mexico event
ually TO fall into the possession of the
United States, the thinking portion of
our people do not care at present to eX-
tend our boundary much farther to the
south. Sonora and Chihuahua, the
northern states of Mexico, would doub-
less be valuable acquisitions, rs they
comprise mountainous region full of
gold, silver, and copper mines of great
potential value. But the mongrel race
which inhabits the greater part of Mex
leo would not make desirable American
citizens, nor have they yet proved them
selves suited to republican form of
government. The only annexation
that would be popular with all classes,
and to which there will be no opposi-
ton, would be that of the Dominion of
Canada, for the people of our own race,
and have been trained to forms of gov
ernment similar TO our own.

A ESCAPE.
A Boy ExpIodes n Pine OF Powder and
IL severely Burned.

IL severely Burned.
Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock q
powder explosion occurred at Edgington's
Lane, Just east Of the city, by which a ten
year old son OF John r. Coen, who resides
near by. was horribly burned about the
head and face. The particulars are about
as follows: Young Coen had been engaged
in play during the afternoon with a com
panion about his own age, named Matter
bach, and between three aud four
o'clock the latter went into his father
house while his parents were absent and
filling a large coffee cup with gunpowder,
brought it out 10 play with: As soon as
young CCen saw the powder, he wanted to
touch it off" as he expressed it, but to
which EIstterbsch demurred. Coen,
however. insisted in exploding II, and his
companion, having sense enough, to get
out of the way. took 70
his heels and ran. BY the time he had
reached a safe distance Coen had lighted a
match, which he dropped into the cup.
The powder instantly ignited, exploding
directly under the boy, burning his face in
a terrible manner, and transforming his
complexion 10 the color OF charcoal.
The boys agonizing screams soon attract
ed attention and assistance soon arrived.
After a hasty glance at the lads injuries
Mr.. Seibert, who happened 10 be close by
dispatched a messenger on horseback 10
his CITY for q physician, the courier
reaching here shortly before five o'clock.
pr Bates was informed of the affair and at
cnce went out, and did all in his power TO
relieve the injured boys sutierlngS, At a
late hour last night he was resting easier,
bu, whether or not his eyes are destroyed
is not known.

should they be so fortunate as to strike a
strong enough flow OF gas to run their in
dustry, it will certainly boom the Rall
business in this section of the country.
Several manufacturers were lntervlewed
last evening by a REGISTER reporter n
they all claimed, excepting one man, that
if gas was struck in sufficient quantities to
run the nail industries OF this vicinity,
that they could make nails at a good reduc-
ton under the present price of manutac'
turing, and by so doing gain almost the
entire nail trade, which. to say the least,
would be a big boom Of this city and the
country Immediately surrounding it.. The
Benwood mill will commence sinking 8
well for gas inside OF the next two weeks.
and, of course, if either of the above are
successful and it is earnestly hoped they
will there will not be an industry in this
vicinity but will sink wells Immediately.
