New Way to Deal With Drunkards.

The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday reports
the first case in this State under the law
passed by the last Legislature relative to
the persons and property of drunkards.
The law provides that Whenever, by petit
ton under oath, any person shall be
alleged to be Il drunkard incapable of
taking care of himself or herself, or his
or her property, any Circuit Court of
this State and the Circuit Court of Balti.
more City shall have power, i'll its discre
ton, on such preliminary examination or
inquiry as it may think proper to make
OK parte, to issue IA warrant to the sheriff
of the county or city, respectively, to
arrest and bring the person SO charged
before such court, and 1t shall be the
duty of the sheriff to obey such warrant,
and such court shall cause jury of good
and lawful men to be summoned by the
sheriff, to be empaneled forthwith, and
shall charge the jury under oath to in
quire, in the presence of such person,
whether he or she is au habitual drunk
ard, incapable of taking care of himself
or herself, and the proceedings shall be
like those now authorized by law in cases
of persons alleged to be insane, and the
rules Of law and proceedings now appli-
cable to the property of lunatics shall
apply to cases of persons declared to be
habitual drunkards. The person alleged
to be an habitual drunkard may dispense
with legal proceedings and appoint his
own committee and voluntarily enter any
institution selected by the court for
limited time. If the person shall be
found by jury to be an habitual drunk
ard the court shall appoint committee
who shall have power to confine the per-
son in any suitable institution for such
length of time as the court may approve,
and to release the person or extend the
period of confinement, with the approba
ton of the court.

The New York Ledger thinks that
"the rising generation of our day rises
too fast. This is not the fault of the
children, but of parents. A little girl
of fashion tricked out like a woman OF
fashion be-hooped and be-furbelowed,
wearing diamond rings on her fingers,
bracelets on her slender wrists, and
sporting miniature watch and chate
lain, naturally enough tries to play the
role for which she seems to have been
caparisoned. Bedecked like mamma,
she copies mammals airs and graces,
of course, and is never weary gazing at
her reflected duplicate in mammals
cheval glass"

The centennial anniversary of the
Presbyterian Church of America which
will be celebrated next week IN Phila-
delphia will attract very general atten-
ton, because the most important ques-
ton to be considered by this General
Assembly is that of the reunion of the
two divisions of the church North and
South, which separated in 1861 upon
questions growing out of the Civil War.
There was great historical proprlety in
selecting Philadelphia as the place Of
meeting of both branches of the Pres
byterian Church, and which a promi-
nent journal of that city very pertinently
calls attention to.
Here in I7o5 the first Presbytery
was organized here the first Synod was
organized in I7I7; here the original
General Assembly was organized on the
24th of May, 1888, "when the West

Thirteen Republican State Conven-
tons were held this week. which num-
Der completes the list of Republican
conventions in all the States, except
North Carolina. In each of them the
unmistakable drift of sentiment was in
favor of Mr.. Blaine, except in very
few instances, where preference has
been shown for some local tavorite.
During the week nine Democratic State
Conventions were held, making twenty
four in all, every one of which has
declared for Cleveland's denomination,
the contest in every State being as to
the choice of the man who is to fly the
tail of Mr.. Cleveland's kite.

minister Standards, modified in the SIN
gle article as to the civil magistrates
(eXpunging the clause giving lhem
power in the Church), were adopted.
1t was here, at that time, that 1t was
formally and solemnly declared to be
the doctrine of the Presbyterian Church
in America that Church and State
should be separate and distinct. That
declaration preceded the first article of
the Amendments to the Federal Con
stitution proposed by Congress First
session, March S, 1850, which DEGREES,
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion or pr Dhlbi'
ting the free exercise thereof"
The present celebration is rot of the
planting of the Presbyterian Church III
America, as that event took place much
earlier. 1t is stated that certainly as
early as 1919 the Dutch were preached
to by Presbyterian minister in New
Amsterdam. There was also preaching
to the Scotch Virglnlans between 1910
and 1850 at Elizabeth River, and 1t is
positively stated that Presbyterian
Church was organized by Francis
Mackenzie in 1854 at Snow Hill, Mary
land, regarding which event the Rev.
DR.. Irwin P. McCurdy, Secretary of the
Local Committee of Arrangements, has
made the following statement: at is
not known when the first Presbyterians
came to America, but we know that
Francis Mackenzie, the father of our
American Presbyterianism, arrived at
Snow Hill, in Maryland, in 1852, and
soon after organized distinctly Tres-
bytenan church,
The imposing event of this and the
coming week in Philadelphia will be
the celebration by the Presbyterians of
the organization of the General Assem-
bly,, the establishment of the standards
of faith and the perfecting of their
ecclesiastical polity or government,
which latter, in its divisions into that by
General Assembly, Synod, Presbytery
and Session. suggests its conformity
and resemblance to the government OF
the country, divided, as it is, into that
of Federal, State, County or Municipal.
The Presbyterian Church in America
has been conspicuous for Its defence of
democratic institutions, for its zeal in
education, for its conservatism and the
good conscience, morality and the re-
spectabllity of its adherents. These
have been the elements of its success as
an organization. 1t has contributed
many great and lllustrious men to the
making of the Republic, and in all
directions in which it has worked has it
been powerful agent of public useful
ness and private helpfulness.

The New York World referring to
the passage of the bill by the Brazilian
Senate abolishing slavery, says that
"this ends the long struggle for eman-
cipation in the empire, and leaves Cuba
and Porto Rico the. only territories in
the New World in which the traffic in
human beings is legalized. The En-
peror. Dom Pedro, has been an earnest
champion of emancipation. The aboli-
ton movement began late in the sixties.
1t found its first legal expression in
1871 in law which practically freed
children born of slaves, and which freed
all the States slaves, 600 in number.
Under this law I,54o,7o6 slaves regis
tered in 1873 dwlndled down to 1,233,-
I95 in 1884. In 1885 the Liberals
again came into power, and in Septem-
Der law freeing at once all slaves over
60 years old, and emancipating all
others by classes gradually was passed.
Under it the slave owners were to have
compensation for their loss, and it was
expected that by 1892 there would be
no more slaves to free under the law.
The passage of the law of 1883 has has
tened this consummation by about four
yeas. In March, 1887, there were
723,4Io slaves in Brazil worth S24o,-
10000. At this time there are prob
ably not more than 100000 worth
$500, 100000.

Would 1t Pay.

A wooden suit of mems clothing can
be bought in Philadelphia for from So
to SIS. The same suit often costs as
much in England, and IS never more
than 81 to 81 cheaper. The cut and
work, owing to superior workmanship
in this country, is always better than in
England, quality for quality.
From ten to twelve pounds of rough
wool are needed in this suit, costing
from s2,25 for cheap, to S. on very
fair quality OF clothing. The Mills bill,
free wool and reducing all, will not in
theory take off over $3.50 on the
cheapest, or S. on the dearest suit
mentioned. In practice it will not take
off half of this, because by keeping up
the American supply prices are kept
down, and the reduction in duty may
take off nothing in price. Will it pay
any workingman to reduce the market
for his own labor by destroying the
market for the labor of othersP The
wool is now grown -four fifths of it) on
our soil, and the cloth made there.
The wool growers buy supplies here,
and the hands in wooden mills make
work for others.
Will it pay any American labo-er to
save this small fraction on his clothing
and send the wool growing to Australia
and the woodworking to England and
Germany ?-Phila. Press.

Tribute to the Memory of ConkIing-Depew
General FavorIte, and Loudly
Cheered.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 16-Badses with
the name and portrait of Chauucey Depew
were tiuttering IN the winter air this morn
ing from the lapels of heavy overcoats
which the delegates were thoughtful
enough to bring along. Handsome litho-
graphs of the railroad president, neatly
rolled in heavy pasteboard, were distrib-
uted by the armful, and copies of the
same hung from every available spot in
stores Or hotel corridors. The great hall
filled rapidly with the delegates, and at
twenty minutes past twelve Gen. Knapp,
as chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee, called the convention to order,
and the Rev. DR.. S. S. Mitchell, of the
Buffalo FIRST Presby teriau Church, offered
prayer. State Committee Secretary Smith
then read the roll of delegates for the
purpose of Its perfection. When Herki-
mer was called the Call of Warner MilIer's
name was greeted with clapping of hands,
but when the Twenty first New York was
reached there came storm.
"Chauncey NJ. Depew," shouted the
secretary. There was no answer by a
single voice, but a ratsling shout so shook
the air that the gas jets futtered. The
printed placard of the Westchester dele
cation was wildly waved in the air. Cheer
after cheer went up, and as it died away,
General Henry A. Barnum got on his feet
and proposed three cheers for Chaupcey

Depew the name of Elliott f. Shepard.

After roll call Charles E. Fitch was
made temporary chairman.
At the conclusion of MIR. Fitch's speech
the usual committees were appointed, and
the convention took recess until p. NJ
At ten minutes of five the convention
reassembled. E. L. Pitts, of Orleans.
was made permanent chairman. Mr..

Stretching Civil Service Reform.

Some time ago Collector Groome ap-
pointed William Shipley to be fireman in
the Custom house, at 81, 200 a year. A
few Gays ago MIR. Groome was surprised
at receiving notification from Secretary
Fairchild that Mr.. Shipley's appointment
would not be confirmed by him, inasmuch
as the position of fireman in the Custom
house at $1,000 came under civil service
rules, and that Mr.. Shipley would have
to pass civil service examination before
he could be allowed to shovel coal into
