The Rev. Mason p. Presley of the
North United Presbyterian Church of
Philadelphia says that the custom of
clergymen in taking long summer vaca-
tons has become not only an abuse but
a scandal. He said in a recent sermon:
1T seems strange that ministers of re
ligion are alone those who insist on this
annual vacation. The doctor does not
take a vacation, as a rule, because he is
loyal ia the sick and the dying; neither
as a rule does the lawyer, Editors do
not 60 away in the summer, or, if they
do, they leave behind them the brain
work that controls the mighty arm of
civilization-the press. II the doctors
and editors left there would be no one
to cure the sick or minister to the needs
of our intellectual life; and if the re-
porter loyal to the public and to his
duty-remains and plods about in storm
and in rain and in snow and in heat,
how much more reason is there that
those men who profess to be Gods peo-
pie and the embodiment of everything
good, shou d walk about in our midst,
in this season of evil, and carry out the
work for which they were ordained"

TIMELY TOPICS.

At the national conference of char
tiles and corrections, William p. Letch-
worth, president of the New York state
board of charities, read paper on
.'Children of the state" He stated
that thepe are in the United States un.
der 16 years OF age 2O,043, $50 children,
but it is impossible to determine how
many of these are dependent or de-
linquent. In 1880 there were 1929
blind persons, of whom ? PAP were in
educational institutions other than day
schools, and 33,818 deaf mutes, of
whom 1896 were in similar institutions.
The total number of idiots in the United
States was 1880. OF these 292 were
in training schools. The proportion
under institutional instruction is
small. The class which was to be con-
sidered may be separated into FIVE
divisions young infants, homeless
children, blind, deaf and dumb, idiotic
and weak minded, and truants, which
includes Migrants disorderly and
criminal children, designated under the
general term of Juvenile delinquents.
The class of orphans called foundlings
is gradually diminishing under present
methods. Revolving boxes, of which
there were in France at one time as many
as 256 in a. many different institutions,
have been done away with. LEGITIMACY
has become statutory offense. Aims
house care for those little ones has
proved a failure. Under organized
private benevolence results have been
achieved that could never be touched

The Montana, Syracuse & Texas

We have received from Mr.. c. C..
Free, acting secretary Of the Montana.
Syracuse & Texas railroad. q prospec.
tus Of the enterprise which it is
thought will be one Of the grandest
north and south lines of road on the
continent. The proposed route of the
road Is from Miles City, Mont, south
to Wyoming, through northeastern
Wyoming, south western Nebraska,
the western tier of counties in Kansas,
and the centre Of the Pan Handle of
Texas to Galveston. IL Is claimed for
this route that there are no mountain
ranges to cross, no expensive bridges
to build and that generally IL is an
easy route to construct, and that 1t
will always be safe road to travel.
The principal traffic Of the road is
looked for In the shipping Of Texas
cattle to northern pastures, 1t being
claimed that had the road been in
ope ration this year its earnings across
the state of Kansas would have
been not less than Sl,OOO,OOO. The
advantage to stock growers
of shipping Texas cattle aud
landing them on the Montana ranges
instead Of trailing them In, will, 1t Is
thought, be SO evident to the stock
men that the road will derive lucra.
tive business from south to north from
the start. For return freight 1t is ex-
pected that large shipments of wheat
will be attracted to 1t on account Of it's
being shorter and cheaper route to
the seaboard and European markets
than any that now exist. The incor-
porators are to meet at Syracuse. Kan,
on the oath of this month, to complete
the organization and arrange for the
construction. Work will be COM
menced at Syracuse, Kan, and be
pushed both north and south stimuli.

north and south road of 30 great q
length is a novel enterprise and we
