To Husbands.


Your wife is entitled to her share of
your income. It is her income IA we'll
as yours. John Stuart Mill was q cold.
blooded philosopher, not warm blooded
sentimentalist; and John Stuart Mill
says that the natural division of labor in
the household, which assigns.to the hus-
band the earning of the money and to
the wife the administration OF the home.
is an equable division of labor, giving
to the two, ordinarily, an about equal
share. To dole out money grudgingly
to your wife is more than ungenerous: It
is unjust. To dole it out at all is unjust.
The treasury is a common treasury.
You and she are, commercially speaking.
partners. She has q right to reason
able proportion of your income; to have
it regularly, to have it without hesita-
ton, reluctance or question; to spend it
in her own discretion; and not to be
called to account for each dollar before
she receives another. We have received
lately several letters on this subject. on
behalf of wives subjected to petty and
unintentional despotism by their hus-
bands. Some of these letters one cannot
read without heart-ache, nor publish
without the hazard of making the des-
potism worse.-Christian Union.

Manuring Efuit-Trees

In manuring fruit-trees or grapevines
the manure should not, as it is too fire.
quently, be piled in heap Immediately
round the base of the tree. Here is
where it will do the least good. as the
roots near the truck of the tree are large.
The roots which will take up the fertiliz-
ing matter and carry it into the tree are
the small, fbrous ones, really the feed
ers, and situated farthest from the
trunk. AS these roots extend, as a
rule, under an area Of ground equal to
that covered by the top of the tree, the
manure should be spread over at least
an equal surface. In order to have the
better effect, it should be thorough
~ spaded in. If sickly and apparently
dying trees be given this treatment It
will rarely fail to restore them to new
life and vigor. Trees need liberal sup
ply of food, and unless it is given to
them they cannot be expected to grow
and bear, either in quantity or quality,
such fruit as will an orchard which re-.
ceives proper attention.

AT ST. MAKY'S.
CLOSING Of the

Closing of the Forty Hours Devotion.
St. Mary's church was packed to reple-
tion last night with one of the largest
assemblages ever gathered within its four
walls, the cause of the immense gathering
being the closing ceremonies of the forty
hours devotion. Long before 7:30 O'Clock,
the time when the services were announced
to commence, the rear portion of the
church was filled with an expectant throng
who were unable to obtain seats, and later
on it was we'll nigh impossible to get a
nearer view of the ceremonies than that
afforded by the vestibules of the building.
After the singing of a hymn by the choir
Rev. Father McDermott, of West Chester,
ascended the pulpit and delivered an
eloquent and profoundly logical discourse
on the Catholic doctrine of the "Real Pres
ence." His exposition of this article of
faith, difficult to believe, because contrary
to the testimony of the senses and ap-
parently equally contradictory of reason,
was mastery in style and enchained the
attention of his hearers throughout.
After the sermon the litany of tho saints
was recited, following which a procession
of the Blessed Sacrament took place in
which upwards of 100 young ladies and
Little girls participated. The solemn ex-
ercises of the evening terminated with the
bsnediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the
singing of the choir at this portion of the
services deserving special commentator.

rest had crawled under the table slyly
resumed his seat. The late conner entered,

in lugubrious fashion, and in melancholy
tones replied, can't explain it, my dear

VENERABLE in years, picturesque
with its historical associations, eminent
in material resources and foremost in
its spiritual activities, the conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
whose members are sojourning in our
city during its ninety-sixth annual ses-
sion, may with good right review its his
tory with pride. Our national historian
makes the development of Methodism a
significant feature of the growth of
American institutions. Its century Of
history is almost exactly contemporane'
GUS with the history of the government,
and the story of its wonderful growth
and influence makes a large chapter in
the record of the marvellous story of
the American people. Numbering its
churches by tens of thousands, and
its adult membership by millions,
planting its places Of worship
every day on the frontier line
of advancing development, and
doing its great work of evangelization,
education and philanthropy all over the
world, no estimation of the vital forces
of human progress is accurate that does
not make due account of its influence
and significance. The representatives
of this great interest are warmly well
ea5aaRed to the hospitality Of Our city, and
the proceedings of their conference have
q general interest for the whole COM
munity.

A MINISTER DEPOSED.
Rev. Mr.. Keyser Found Guilty of Breach {
Promise aud Expelled.

Rev. Mr.. keyser Found Guilty of Breach OF
Promise aud Expelled.
The ministers of tho Lebanon Reformed
church classis trying the case of breach of
promise against Rev. Alexander s. Keyser,
of POttsville, were in session until three
o'clock Tuesday morning in St. Johns
Reformed church at Hamburg. At that
time the classis decided against Keyser
and his license to preach was at once re.
voked. He was much disheartened and
left for Pottsville that morning. Miss
Elizabeth K. Miller, the plaintiff, also de-
parted for her home. She said she was
certain all along that classis would favor
her after her full story had been heard.
Rev. Keyser is native of Maxatawny
township and is about thirty-six years old.
He is of medium height, sparely built,
dark complexion, dark eyes and dark, curly
hair. He was licensed and ordained in
1881 and the second Reformed church at
Pottsville was his first charge. He is a
graduate of Ursinus college. Montgomery
county. Miss Miller formerly resided in
the family of Rev, D. K. Humbert at
Bowers. where she formed the acquaint.
ancs of Mr.. K.yser when she was about II
years of age and he was a.young a stu
dent preparing for the ministry. She is
below medium height, with dark brown
hair, dark eyes aud fair complexion, and
of prepossessink appearance. Her parents
are dead. Miss Miller's son, Milton
Obadiah Keyser, who is in the sixth year
of his age, sat by her side in the church
during the trial. Keyser, on being asked
if he were guilty of the charges against
him, answered, "No, no." Mr.. Keyser
was represented by Rev. L. D. Steckel, of
Womelsdorf; Rev. J. o. johnson, of
Schuylkill Haven, and Rev. H. keyser, of
Lebanon the accused by Rev. DR.. F. w.
Kremer, of Lebanon Kew. DR.. Bausman,
of Reading, and Rev. Geo. Wolf, OF
Myerstown. The child of Miss Miller is
the very image of Rev. Keyser. Witnesses
were heard on both sides and then the
testimony of Rev. Keyser was taken. A
letter was then produced in which he made
efforts to be released from the promises he
had made to marry Miss Miller. During
the time of their courtship 425 love letters
were written by Keyser to Miss Miller,
and all in the most endearing terms.
These were ali returned to Keyser at bis
own request, except 25. The witnesses
spoke highly of Miss Miller's good char.
acter. Her story was all straight.

The anniversary of the Historical society
of the NJ. E. church took place in the Duke
street church last evening. The body of
the church was entirely filed and large
numbers occupied seats in the galleries.
In the audience were many distinguished
members of the annual conference, whose
sessions commenced this morning in the
court house. The chair was occupied by
the president of the society, Rev. j. 8. j.
Mcconnell, and Bishop Bowman and sew

INDICATIONS multiply that it is the
determined purpose of the Republicans
in the Legislature to block the passage
of the apportionment bills this winter,
for the reason that they know that any
pretense of fair apportionment will be
less favorable to their partisan interests
than the existing gerrymanders forced
upon the state by Republican Legisla.
lures ten years ago, and more grotesque
in their unfairness now than they were
even then intended to be by their pro.
jectors. Unfortunately, and owing to
the ignorance of Democratic manage
ment in such things, the apportionment
bills were returned late and obtained a
low place on the calendar. They cannot
obtain preference of consideration with
ont q suspension of the regular order,
which the Republicans will not assent
to, for there seems to be no body of Re-
publicans in the House able to rise to the
level of demand for a fair apportion-
ment, to be made as the constitution
peremptorially directs. There is one
thing that remains for the Democrats
to do If the opposition persists in it's
purposes to defeat the plain
direction of the fundamental law. Every
bill, as its turn comes, can be
postponed until the apportionment
measures are reached. Grave public
duties demand heroic treatment and no
moro serious concern is enjoined upon
the Legislature than the passage of ap-
bills.
