TnEo-vsRSUS-NEO-LOGY.

Yesterdays .1lUertiser thinks the
article on Religious Education in the
Aaglicdn ChuFch Chronicle would
he all right, only that it was written
from theological point of view.
Probably the editors of the Church
Chronicle did not count on theolo-
gico-phobist among their critics, or
they would have expatiated on the
subject from standpoint more
accessible to the literary capacity of
of their reviewer. 1t is to be hoped
that the distinguished patron of
letters whose luminous ideas shed
their effulgent rays over our contem-
porary's columns will not miss this
splendid opportunity of measuring
himself in theological "peeler" on
education, religious or irreligious,
against the clerical editors of the
Anglican periodical. Developments
will be awaited with intense anxiety
by all educationists.

STREET WATERING,

Among the contemplated munich
pal reforms and city improvements,
why is not provision made for street
watering? The present private
speculation with the blue barrel was
sufficient when first started, but the
growth of the city warrants an in
creased number of watering carts,
and it should be regarded as q
matter for government direction and
under their special control, instead
of being left to private enterprise.

Female Periurers Pardoned.

MADISON. Wis. Feb 6.-Governor Rusk last
night pardoned two sisters from State prison
Mrs Rebecca Merroot of Baraboo, and Mrs
Margaret Cooley, of Mitchell D. T.,-who, sew
eral months ago, perjured themselves in the Cir
cult Court here, in an endeavor to secure an ALI
bi for their brother-inlaw, a notorious cracks
man who was on trial for burglary. The Mer-
root and Cooley women subsequently, ar
rested for perjury and when they realized that
evidence of their guilt was incontrovertable, they
pleaded guilty. The scene in court at the time
was narrowing, each mother appearing before
the judge for sentence with a babe in her arms
They were sent to the State prison for
two years. One hour after the pardons had been
signed, Governor Rusk received piteous tele-
gram from the aged mother of the two women,
pleading that he might extend clemency to them
in order that they might be able to go to
McGregor Ia, to attend the funeral of their sis
ter, who, together with her husband and three
children, persisted in their burning dwelling on
Friday morning. Mrs. Merroot and Mrs. Cooley
have always maintained that the perjury for
which they were sent to prison was committed
through fear that their desperate brother would
carry out his oft-made threat to murder them

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
Poor Christiancy! His election was the un-
making of him. If his Washington career could
be blotted out of his life it would leave his rec
ord as upright and stainless as any mans in
Michigan, and he would still be power in his
home. Instead of that, am told he goes about
the little town of Lansing, where he lives. al
most unnoticed by men who once sought his
company, and is existing on the slight pittance
that comes from country lawyers practice
He has no influence, and is rapidly aging
under the disgrace that overcame him few
years ago. Before he went to the Senate
he was great power in Michigan. He had risen
from an Insignificant country lawyer until he
had reached the Supreme bench there. which at
that time was sadly in need Of man of charac-
ter uprightness and learning. Mr.. Christiancy
had all these qualities, and his decisions did
more to make the Michigan Supreme Court re-
spected than those of any other judge who ever
sat on its bench. He went to Washington and,
though in the afternoon of life, fell, and the
woman who caused his downfall now sleeps in
one of the grave-yards in suburb of this great
city, while he plods on amid the scenes of his
youth in the vain hope of some day retrieving a
wrecked career.

chase hats that do not bear the national union
label Some eff the unions have ordered fine of
So imposed on any member buying a hat minus
the label. The rules of the union provide that
the union label shall be placed in the crown of
every hat, so that the buyer tell at glance
whether the hat has been made by union men or
not. Since the rule went into effect 100000 of
these labels have been distributed among the
manufacturers, and no charge is made for them
by the union.
The conference between the representatives
of the National Hat-fnshers and Hat-makers'
Association and the manufacturers held to-day,
resulted favorably to both organizations The
representatives of the two associations decided
that all jobbers who had on hand supplies of hats
when the recent order was issued requiring
union labels to be placed in all hats sold by them
should be allowed to place labels on their hats.
providing they would agree hereafter to buy
only such hats as were properly labeled.

The Strike Of New York Cigar-Makers-Suf-
fering That Is Being Keeniy Felt
New YORK, Feb. eff the Progressive cigar
makers agree to the terms proposed by the man
ufacturers, and accept schedule of wages based
on the average price paid by all the shops last
year. about 900 people will berelieved from suf-
feriEg which is beginning to be severely felt In
many of the trades more or less directly con-
nected with the cigar making industry the strike
has produced stagnation and a consequent dis
charge of work people, who, not being members
of the cigar makers unions. are not entitled to
relief from their bodies. The Central Labor
Union has too many demands on it's treasury at
present to put these people on its rolls and much
suffering results. 1t is doubtful if the Interna-
tional Union. which bitterly denounces the con-
ferences between the Progressive members and
the manufacturers will be able to hold out long
after their rivals return to work, for they do not
want members of the Progressive Union to get
employment in shops which the international
Union has heretofore controlled. About five
hundred cigar-makers, including women, have
left for San Francisco since the strike began,
and are expected to contribute something to the
support of their suffering comrades in this city
when they get there It will be some time, how
ever. before the heavy expense OF the trip can
be paid out of earnings on the Pacific coast, and
a surplus sent to New York.

euchre which is so much the rage just now.
They would rather, as rule. go in stag
parties, and smoke and bet over the old game

the progressive game, and therefore the men are
compelled to play it.
