His Views on WOman's Advancement and
Church Disestablishment.
Interview in New York Tribune.
Are you in favor of the progressive move
ment to admit women to a greater range of use
fulness2"
Il have always been in favor of perfecting the
education of women who can stand the strain
of competition. There are some few gifted
who equal to this great strain, and
to them should be accorded all possible advant-
ages This question of the higher education of
women has made great strides in England in the
last ten years"
How do you regard the Protestant Episcopal
Church In this countryg'
II have been struck every where by the order
and beauty of the service The fullness of the
church life is very great, and the church has &C
complished awonderful work in America. 1t has
great future before it
What striking difference have you noted be-
tween the Episcopal Church and the Anglican
church,"
THE only difference that one would expect
when comparing established and independent
churches. In England the clergy are absolutely
independent, and they can speak with more
planness without fear of losing their positions
as they can only be displaced in case of wrong
doing"
Are you in favor of disestablishment9"
81 am not in favor OF It. There is great diff
ference in new country where there are many
religious denominations 1t might be an injustice
then to all except the established, but not so
in a country where the church is older thar the
government The Established Church has sunk
its roots so deeply into the nation that to tear it
up would shock everything connected with it.
TO separate church and State in England would
be great loss to all religious bodies. Religion
would suffer more than the church disestab-
lished"
What about the movement in Wales and
Scotland looking toward disestablishment?s
THE Welsh people more in favor of discs
Enlistment than the Scotch. 1t is not impossi-
BILE that the Welsh Church may be disestab-
lished this winter, but the Scotch cannot be
without struggle"

Dennis Still in Jail.

special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE Oct 22.-Yesterday after
noon Prosecutor Anderson made motion before
Judge Britton to annul the indictments against
James Dennis for murder and John Curtis for
perjury. Thy release of Curtis was granted,
but the judge begged to be excused from acting
the motion to release Dennis. therefore Den
mis- will have to remain in Jail until the next
term of court, which. begins the first Monday in
November, with E. G. Snyder, the new judge,
on the bench. 1t is supposed that the reason of
Judge Britton's asking to be excused from re-
leasing Dennis is because he overruled all the
motions for new trial in his case and by thus
releasing him it might appear to some that he
had repented of his previous action in the case.
The release of Curtis is not understood, from the
fact that the evidence of his perjury was as clear
as the MONDAY sun.
