THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
Judge Mehsrd, ofPennsylvania, Decides
that it May be Road.
From the Phtladelphia Press.

From the Phaade1phia Press.
MERCER. PA, Sept. 12.-Judge Mehard
today filed his decision in the celebrated
Sharpsville school case, a suit brought
ny certain Roman Catholic citizens Of
Sharpsyille to restrain the school direc-
Jors Of that place from further authorizing
and permitting the reading Of the King
James Bible In the public schools. The
plaintiffs alleged that such exercises vio-
ate article l., section 8, and article X,
sections 1 and OF the State constitu-
lion, the only correct K nglish version Of
the Scriptures being the DOuay Bible,
and all others being unauthorized and
,ectarian in character.
In an exhaustive opinion Judge Mehard
decided in favor OF the school directors
lie holds that public schools we're estab.
iished, not out of regard for the children
or individuals, but as part OF an organ
ized community. They are the Outgrowth
of the State policy for the encouragement
Of virtue and the prevention Of vice and
immortality. The instruction 20 be i'm
parted includes the cultivation of morali-
~ as well AS the attainment OF acknowledge
and intellectual culture. The morality
which the State deems II important thus
to cultivate must be the morality which
IA regarded necessary Tor the support o.
the laws ana institutions Of the State.
rhls must be the morality on watch they
ire based, and this is the morality OF the
Bible. IL follows. therefore, that the
tource Of that morality rs not excluded,
but that the Bible may he used for the
moral culture OF the pupils OF the public
schools.
With regard for the plaintiffs assertion
hat the highest ecclesiastical tribunal ~
Inc Roman Catholic church has declared
the King James version 10 be sectarian,
Incorrect aud incomplete, Judge Mehard
holds that the decision OF ecclesiastical
courts do not bind the state, and that,
AK no preference Is given 10y our laws 20

FALL IN THE COUNTRY.
American Society People Pursuing Their
Imitation of the English.


From the Pitts6urg Dispatch.
The rage for following English customs
has been commented on frequently and
with sarcasm and severity, but we are in
debted to the mother country for a few
really excellent innovations. One of
these is the passion for country life which
has sprung up during the past decade.
Time was when fashionable New York
ers remained in the city the year round
with the exception of July and August,
which months they spent in some huge
hotel at popular watering place. And
they grudgeG even that brief time, which
hey devoted to dressing, dancing and
flirting. They were always glad to get
back to the city, where they began a
round OF theatres, balls, and other social
designations. But now it is safe to say
that large proportion of our wealthy
men have country homes o. their own at
Newport. LenoX, Long Branch, or other
summer resorts. And they have learned,
too, that the country Is never so delight
full as in the fall, and that even a rural
winter has its charms.
30 1t has come TO pass that the fashiona-
Die regions of the city take on a deserted
look early in June, and do not resume an
appearance Of gayety until late in Octo-
Der.
This new order OF things is excellent
for the people of fashion, but has a bad
effect on the shOpkeepers, who complain
bitterly of the dizziness of trade while
their Weather patrons are out of town.
on the other hand, there is a large class
who formerly spent the summer in farm
houses or small country hotels, and have
since learned by experience that cool
md airy New York house or fiat is. after
all, pretty comfortable place in which to
remain.
These people manage to exc out an ex-
stence by occasional trips to Long
Branch, COney Island. or other resorts
near by, and, to a small extent, console
the storekeeper for the want Of weather.
custom.
On the other hand, those who go into the
country and remain there for four or five
months, carry prosperity with them and
spread ideas of enlightenment among the
rural folk, so that the balance remains
nearly even. Fashion, 1t seems, always
las its cOmpensatlons.

NEW YoRK's JAPANESE BANK.
Financial Institution Conducted There
by Gentlemen OF the Orient.

=
by Gentlemen OF the Orient.
From the Neso York World
1t Is, perhaps, known to very few people
that there is a regular Japanese bank In
the city with every facility for the trans
action of banking business, the sale of
bills of exchange, and letters of credit,
the purchase of specie, etc. But such is
the case. The gentlemen connected with
this bank are all natives OF Japan and
men of intelligence and refined, with that
courteous bearing so noticeable in the
higher class of the people OF China and
Japan. They are highly educated and
several of them speak English fluenty.
They have also adopted the dress and
habits of cultivated Americans. The
bank, which is branch of a large bank
ing institution in Japan, is mainly sup
ported by transactions with Japanese ner-
chants engaged in the import or export
trade. Its offices form a part of the suite
Of rooms occupied by the Japanese Con-
sui, aud that gentleman himself exercises
a supervision over its affairs to see that
everything is conducted in the interest
and to the credit of government whose
commission he bears.
The head office of the bank is at Yoko-
hama, Japan, in what is know as the mi
nami NakadOri GOchOme of that city.
The bank has also a branch office at
Bishopsgate street, London, Eng,
which is conducted ir the same manner
as in this city. The institution was es-
tablished under government auspices to
facilitate trade and commerce between
Japan and foreign countries, and in this
it has been highly successful. 1t was
founded about six years ago and the
agency in this city has been established
for five years.
The paid-up capital OF the bank is 3,000,-
900 yen-a ven, corresponding in value
aud exchange, in our currency, to soc.
The reserved fund is 500, 542 yen. This, it
will be admitted, is an ample capital and
reserve and corresponds in money re-
sources to some of the largest financial in
situations in this country or Europe.
The directors of the bank are we'll
known gentlemen OF means and influ-
ence, residing in Japan. RokurO Hara is
President, and other influential officers
are Nagatane Soma. Rzemon Kimura,
and Tsu1ejiro Sakural. The manager of
the bank is r. Dimura and the assistant
manager u. Sakural.
The profits of the bank since it was
frst established have been large, while
all the funds of the institution are secure
ly invested in tirst-class securities. At
the last semi-annual report of the bank
on Dec. 81, 1884, a divided was made at the
rate of 4 yen per share on the govern
ment's shares and yen per share on the
general shareholders shares.
The agent for the bank IN this city is
relsaku Tahaki.

A MILLIoNAIRE's CHILD.
Character of the Girl Whose Hand was
Sought by Buck" Grant.

From the So. Louis Globe Democrat.
Flood has an only daughter, Jennie
who, it will be remembered, was sough
after by young Buck Grant when he
was out here about two years ago. How
far the acquaintance went is not known
but the story which is generally credited
is that Miss Jennie discovered that her
sutton was pay ing too much attention to
other girls and she refused to have any
thing more to do with him.
She is not a young woman who would
be sought for her charms Of mind or face.
she looks like a well-settled matrOn of 40,
having large, full, fat face, with heavy
features, and she adds TO her mature ap-
pearance by brushing her hair straight
back from the face, and doing il up I'm the
simple and severely plain style affected
by housewives OF thirty years ago. When
she appears at parties or the opera In fun
dress, she is even hOmelier than in street
dress, as decollete dress and light color
do not harmonic with her sanguine CON-
pleXion and overfull figure. She has $4,000
600 in her own right, but she is said TO be
penuriOus in her tastes and oloOk closely
after every dollar that she spends. Her
selfish character is very plainly betrayed
by her actions at the last seasons Italian
opera, when Patti and scalcbi created s.
great furore here. Miss Jennie occupied
q conspicuous position every night In the
front of prOscenium box she wore diff
ferent costume nightly, and she always
carried n huge bouquet rs large around a.
the bottom of a bucket. This she dis

Of foil TO her blazing diamonds, but no
lyric flights of Diva Patti, and no soul
stirring strands Of ScalchPs noble voice
moved her cold nature TO throw her bou
quet as tribute to genius. She went
home with 1t every time, to the great dis
gust OF those of less means who were
more generous with their flowers.

Mining and miscellaneous Items
From the silver Camps of the

U. S. Commissioner Timony of Marys-'
vale, has bound over two polygamists,
one to appear at Provo and the other at
Beaver.
The Campbell Commemorative mill, at
Milford, is still running smoothly, and
will continue to do SO unless the cold
weather freezes up the teaching liquids.
The Reef teaching company has Il force

some time next week. the ten teaching
tanks and four precipitating pans will be
in place.
w. II. II. Bowers, patentee of the
Bowers Rolls, has been looking up the
mining interests OF Beaver county. The
Bullionville Company has set OF the
rolls on the way south.
The Southern Utah Times says: The
Salt Lake DEMOCRAT publishes very
interesting column of Southern Utah
mining notes once week.. 1t must en-
ploy high-priced correspondent.
The old Leeds mine at Silver Reef,
which has produced hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars, is still profitable
property. 1t is now in the hands OF
lessees who are handling it judiciously.
There is vast amount OF ore ready for
stopping, and lots of money will be taken
out.
Silver Reef has its critics, too Says
the Southern Utah Times: The Burton
Bros. Athletic & Comedy Company
played to a crowded house. The cast was
very strong in gall and was made up of
members of the Manti Grand Uproar
Company. Hans Jensen, alias Gus
Williams, and Ole Olsen, alias George
Leroy, from the San Pete country, were
particularly snide. The whole outfit is a
dizzy crowd OF stable-stormers and peo-
pie along the line should go healed with
stale eggs.
Good news continues to come in from
one end of Silver Reef to the other and
new strikes are reported daily The big
discoveries recently made in the bottom
