cussion of the proposed articles Of agree
ment was commenced last week, some Of
the managers were wide apart ON certain
provisions. particularly those relating 10

so near an understanding ON these points
that there Is prospect OF unanimous
action tomorrow. Strong efforts are be-
Ing made 10 abate the commission evil, as
well as put an end 10 the business relations
that exist between some pass:nger
agents and scAlpers. The majority
OF western roads have already no
tilted their eastern agents that
the commissions for January will be mere

less reduction In the price OF tickets with
the expectation that they will still realize n
profit. A specific sum Ia named as the
maximum commission 10 be paid on the sale
OF each ticket, and agents are warned II
they go beyond that depth they will have
10 stand the loss. The present agreement,

CHURCH COURTESY. Church cir
Giles In New York are exercised
over an interview in the Sun in
which the superintendent OF ST..
Thomas, one of the leading Protes
tant Episcopal churches, is made
to say that religion is business, and
strangers are not wanted unless
they pay for their seats. A number
OF pastors have been interviewed,
and dsavow any such spirit as AM
mating their congregation. The
interview has provoked a very AMI
mated controversy already. The
excitement grew out of the fact that
prominent pew holder in that
church refused stranger admission.
This state of affairs is, alas. some
times found in other churches, in
some cases persons have gone away
from church because stranger had
been placed in their pew. Not long
ago a gentleman entering the yesti-
bule Of fashionable ceurch saw a
plaoard which read the pews are free
at the evening service" He turned
on his heel and left, mutterlng
ssblame these heightened places
where poor people are only allowed
seat at night. Poor deluded
mortal, he crossed the street to
another sanctuary, was ushered into
fifty dollar pew, whose occupant
drew aside her silken gown fearful
of contamination. And she after
ward scowIed at the usher declar.
ing that if her pew was to be filled
with common strangers she woHld
vacate it. Alas, for the rarity of
Christian charity, What harm does
it do ye to sit beside poor stranger,
can re have q separate room IN the
home above? Members of any
church should always be courteous
TO visitors, give them seat beside
you aud if proper extend pleasant
welcome, for it may be that some
times you will entertain an angel
unawares.

COOP COUNSEL How true it is,

COOP COUNSEL. How true it is,
as the Practical Mechanic says,
thousands start well, but never
finish one thing at a time. They
have dozen things on hand and
no one completed. Time is wasted
on unfinished work. Always finish
what you begin. One thing finish
ed ia worth hundred half done.
The mlletlon of an undertaking
Yields more pleasure and profit than
d, z.ns OF plans. The man who is
always planning or scheming l.
rarely, if ever, successful. d.
often furnishes ideas for Others,
who go perslstently to work and
finish what his ideas suggested
"rhat was my idea-my; plan, We
frequently hear some one say, but
the man who carried it out was the
one who benefited himself aud
Others. Do not begin what you
cannot finish. What you under
take 10 do, do, aud reap the reward
