To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Many of your readers, like myself, have had enough of the indecorous squabble pub- 1ished in your columns about the right of churches on the Green to take what land they wish to enlarge their places of worship as desired or needed.
 For one, do not see what better use of the land can be made than in permitting them to occupy what they want of it for the purpose of suitably enlarging their present edifces.
 The person, however, signing himself ssUnited Church. in this mornings issue writes in manner distinctly, and one might say purposely, offensive.
 Reading between the lines the intolerant, bitter and aggressive animus of his commu- nication becomes evident. It contains in no degree the spirit that advances the vital in terests of any church.
 The humble, thankful, grateful servant of the Master has neither time nor wish to question the measure of faith of other avow- ed Christians, having his attention, mind and vigilance fully occupied with his own unruly self, So that he may ever be in con

 A man known as ''Chuck" Smith recently died in Colorado mining town, and local paper thus describes mishap which occur red at his funeral: eThe remains were trans ported to the grave in frst-class style in Joe Biglin's best hearse. Unfortunately, before the cemetery was reached, the horses took fright and ran away The hearse was over turned, and MT. Smith was spilled out of his coffin, sustaining compound fracture of the arm. It was lucky for Joe Biglin that poor Chuck was not alive, as in that case he would certainly have claimed heavy dam ages"
 And now St. Johns record is being care fully looked up. At Olathe, in Kansas, where his home is, the people are fairly overrun with inquiries about his character The ministers especially appealed to, and the mayor gets so many letters that he is obliged to hire private secretary to help read them. The missives come from all parts of the country. The secretaries and other officers of women's Christian temperance unions and other temperance organizations write, and so do countless numbers of women who are not officers.
 A correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier mentions the interesting fact that on the occasion of the recent visit of Governor Thompson and Senator Butler to Newberry to harengue the Democracy of that South Carolina town, the train which brought the visitors was completely sur rounded upon it's arrival by FEthe Red shirts, D who, with the help of the Newberry Rifles,
 "a splendid mounted organization, escorted him to the place of meeting There is 8 'Fsman negro majority in the county but the correspondent reports the Newberry Demo- crats thoroughly organized and equipped, D and is able to assure his paper that "a su- preme effort will be made to place the coun- ty among the foremost in the approaching election.
 The subject of theosophy has, according to the Calcutta correspondent of the London Times, occupied 8 large share of the atten- tion of the Indian press and public lately It has been brought prominently forward by the publication in the Madras Christian Col lege Magazine of correspondence alleged to have passed between Mime. Blavatsky and a Monsieur and Mime. Coulomb, who appear to have been followers of her, but who, having fallen out with the sect, have placed the let ters in the hands of the editor of the maga- zine. These letters, if genuine, certainly prove Mime. Blavatsky to be a consummate inn postor, who with the help of Coulomb imposed upon the credulous by ingenious trickery. The so-called astral body of the Tibetan Mehatma Root Humi is described as crafty arrangement of bladders, muslin, and mask, while the wonder-working shrine at Madras is said to be a mere conjurer's cabinet. The theo- sophists indignantly declare the letters to be impudent forgeries, and state that the Cou- lombs were expelled from the society, and have taken this means to revenge them selves

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 The action of our Common Council in granting permission to Trinity church to extend its edifce has caused very general dissatisfaction. And now the United church asks similar permission. I would suggest that it would be a good plan for the authori- ties to stop the completion of the addition to Trinity church. Let the city pay the church what it has expended and what it will cost to put their church back where it was before the extension was commenced. This, it seems to me, would be fair arrangement and would prevent any organization in the future from quoting the action of the Com mon Council in regard to Trinity church as a precedent G.
