FROM REV. ROWLAND B. HOWARD
SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN
pESCE SOCJET'y

FROM REV. ROWLAND Il. HOWARD,
SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN
PEACE SOCIETY.
The advent of the precious little pa.
per, the NcighJor, reminds me of my
purpose to write word of fellowship
before the meeting Of the South Caro-
lima Peace society. If aUe get lonely
amid the deserts of Indifference around
us in Boston, and drop occasionally
into conversation OH the mere talked
of reforms, how brave and true must
one be to stand his ground, bear his
testimony and re-iterate the truth in
Columbia. Here are the old roots OF
former peace teaching. Worcester,
Ladd, Burritt, Becllwith and Miles
left their mark, though it has been OBJ
scurcd by the excitement of civil war,
and gnawed by the moth of time.
But South Carolina has a peace his
tory, too. Judge Grimke's writings
were not unknown to my childhood,
and, if remember rightly, your State
had a peace society almost as early as
Maine, Massachusetts, New York and
Ohio. Why not stretch hands across
"the bloody chasm". in the interest of
nothing 50 much as universal peace.
The "chasm" is fast ,fNing up, so far
us North and South are concerned.
The cry that came to us from New Or
leans, Memphis, Charleston, and now
Jacksonville, IS that of brethren in dis

*. L.. GOve's Answer in the Damage Suit
of His SOn-in-Law.

hs LIZ OOVe answer In the Damage Suit
OF His SOn-in-Law.
WAUKEsHA, Wis, Feb. THE COM
plant and answer in the sensational
Hawes-Gove suit, in which George f.
Halves seeks to recover damages in the
sum of $25, 900 from r. L. Cove for the
alleged alienation by the defendant of
the affections of May Cove Halves, the
alleged wife of the plaintiff, were filed
to-day In the office of the clerk of court,
and the case is on the calendar for trial
at the term of the circuit court which
opens here tomorrow.
The complaint in the case, SYNOPSIS
of which sets forth the marriage
of Jennie May Cove and George
f. Halves in September last, and
that on the day of such marriage the
defendant by force, persuasion or inhu-
ence, induced the wife Of the defendant
to remain away from her husband; that
from the date of such marriage to the
present time she has never lived with
him, although defendant has made
every effort possible TO induce her to
live with him, but has failed, owing, as
plaintiff believes, to the influence of de-
PENDANT
The answer of Mr.. Cove denies each
and every allegation of the plaintiff ex-
cept the fact of the marriage. In answer
w lLlS ClduSo VI Gu0 COIN pIdluU Gno u0-
fendant alleges that he believes that
Jennie May Halves, or Cove, is not and
never was the wife of George F. Halves.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are F. w.
Monteith and E. E. Ryan, and for the
defendant E. S. Turner, of Port Wash
ington, and Turner & Timlin, of Milwau-
kee.
From the answer of the defendant it
is known that the defense will fight the
suit on the ground that the marriage
ceremony performed by the Texas min
lister was not legal or binding because he
was not, as is alleged, properly regis
tered; and that Miss Halves did not act
Of her own free will. The trial will be
very sensational

ficers. Mr.. Collins Mass called up

these sections prescribe a death penal

tine. On motion of Mr.. Dockery MO-

thorlzed by law. The bill to relieve GER
tain appointed or enlisted men of the
navy and marine corps from the charge
OF desertlon was passed.

goods, wares or merchandise re-
ceived by such carrier or transporta-
ton from one state to another within
the United States or to any foreign
ment in the nature thereof in the hands
of any bona fde holder for valuable
consideration, who acquired the same
in the usual course of trade without any
defect therein, shall be conclusive evil
dence that the goods described therein
were actually received by such carrier
in the manner and for the purpose
herein stated"
THURSDAY, Feb. 9.-The bill requiring
subsidized railroads to maintain and
operate separate telegraph lines evoked

vldes that such portions of the consular

ports; also the Senate bill to relinquish

that they promoted the civilization of
the Indians, served the public conven-
fence and created no obstruction.

THE comparative study of religions
and of theologies has become part of
university study in all lands. The words
of Max Muller on the science of reig-
ion, following the work of the German
Bunsen, led to this enlargement of
thought. Paris was first to establish a
professorship of comparative religions.
The same city now takes the lead with a
Museum of the Gods" 1t is intended
to bring together all objects that will IL
lustrate the nature and progress of wor-
ship. 1t will constitute sort of evolu-
tionary history, as we'll as comparative
history. 1t will be interesting to trace
the origin of our own conceptions in the
remotest past. The proposition to call
it museum is III striking contrast with
similar building, built by the Romans,
which was called the Pantheon, or all
God house, and in which the collection
was not for study, but for worship.

Mr.. GOSCHEN made his address as Lord
Rector of Aberdeen University, the oc-
casion to offer some wholesome advice
to English students. He says that in
the English colleges too much attention
is paid to physical culture and athletic
exercises, such as boating, cricket, etc.,
to the detriment of intellectual culture,
and that the study Of the modern Ian
guages, knowledge of which is becom-
ing necessity Of commercial and pro-
fessional life, is sacrificed to an attempt
to acquire knowledge Of the dead Ian
guages. In these respects the Scotch
and German students, he said, are bet
ter off than the English. The social
condition of the Scotch tends to greater
mental activity. The enervating infu-
ence of wealth is entirely absent from
the Scotch and German universities.
They are preparing students for business
and professional life. This, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Goschen, accounts for the
greater success of Scotchmen and Ger
mans as compared with the modern En-
glishman inbusiness.

OPPOSES THE BLAIR BILL.
Why Senator Spooner Will Vote Against
the Educational Measure.

the Educational Measure.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 9. = Senator
Spooner is still inclined to give the
Blair educational bill negative vote.
He does not at all like the apportion-
ment clause, and he does not feel suffi-
Gent charitable kindness toward the
South to incline toward the gift of mill
ions to that section. Fifty million dol
lars distributed in the South, in the
hands of school teachers, would be
large moral influence in behalf OF the
Democratic party. 1t is sum sufficient
to buy great many votes, but
better than that, it will buy
an influence upon the rising
generation. At present, there are text
books of history IN the schools ofthe
South, similar to those which were for
merly used in the schools of the United
States, giving garbled accounts of the
British soldiery and the kingdom of
Great Britain. These Southern histories
abuse the Yankee mudsills, and create
in the minds Of the rising generation the
erroneous impression that the North is
a foreign power and an enemy of the
South. Unless the federal government
shall have some choice in the selection
Of the text books, it would seem to be
unwise to grant the millions proposed.

1T is said of Bright's disease that
when the patient dies it is Brigat's dis

thing else. The same rule applies to
cancer in the throat, taking the case OF
the German Crown Prince as an exam
pie. Had he died, as the doctors gener-
ally predicted that he must, the dag
nosis would have been justified; but
since he insists upon living, it is neces-
sary to give another name to his aff1ic-
