A Minister'S Divorced Wife and her As
sociates Expelled From Church.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 3.-The little town
of Lathrop. No., is all torn up over a
church scandal. The Rev. Dr.. Carmichael
10 pastor of the Baptist church, to which
all the prominent people in the town and
vicinity belong. Hiswife, Mrs. Carmichael.
was very prominent two months ago in the
raids on saloons made by women. Immedi-
ately after these raids the enemies Of the
leader of the ladies convinced her husband
that she had been unfaithful to him. He
brought suit and got a divorce. About half
the members of the church espoused the
cause of the preachers wife, while the rest
stood BY the preacher. A meeting was held
last night and charges were made against
the warm friends of Mrs. Carmichael. The
accused were taken completely by surprise,
They were charged with insubordination,
upholding an expelled member, and associ-
ating with an adulteress. All Of them were
expelled from the church with very little
ceremony. Pastor Carmiohael's faction
had majority of only two over the Mr..
Carmichael faction. Every Baptist woman's
character is getting q hauling over by the
gossips, and several Islander suits are likely
to follow. The evidence against Mrs. Car
michael has amounted to no more than sus-
pician, and is not thought to be susceptible
of proof.

The Mckinley bill is from beginning
to end an exclusively party scheme, de-
liberately, infexibly and irresistibly
forced upon the country by disciplined
and terrorized congressional majority,
at the behest of wealthy industrialists
who, in consideration of this service
rendered, have contributed funds and
influence for carrying the elections in
the interest of the party now in as
tendency, or more correctly of certain
party leaders. It will stand upon the
statute books as the grossest and most
corrupt exercise Of legislative power
ever perpetrated in the history Of the
country, and as the signal monument of
a point of departure at which wealth
and corrupt politics joined hands in an
alliance for defeating public opinion in
the government of this nation.-New
York Commercial Bulletin (non- parti-
ean.)

PRESIDENT HARRISON has reconsidered
his pledge OF home rule for the terri
tories, and has caused the announce
ment to be made semi-ofic,ally that it is
impossible to satisfy all parties in the
appointment of governor Of Arizona,
and that, therefore, he will name a nom
resident for the place. The same pre-
text has served presidents before Harri-
son; and it is probable the truth OF the
assertion is as questionable now as it
was in previous cases. The president
was fully aware of the unftness of the
first appointment he made to this par
ticular office, and in reason could expect
nothing but dissatisfaction with his ap-
pointee and the state OF affairs that re-
Gently compelled him to ask for Gov
ernor Wolfley's resignation. The i'm
piled intimation that he cannot find
among the republicans Of Arizona a fit
man who would be satisfactory to the
several factions there does not speak
we'll for tho presidents party in the ter
ritory. Some light is thrown upon the
situation, however, by the tender Of the
governorship to an Indiana politician,
who is said to have declined, contrary to
the traditions of Indiana. 1t is possible
that General Lionel H. Sheldon, whom
Garfield appointed governor of New
Mexico, and who is now a resident OF
Los Angeles, may be nominated.

GREEDY HEIRS.

Those of Benjamin franklin After Money

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. BIN the Orphans
court to-day q petition was fled by the
heirs of Benjamin Franklin, praying that
the 100000 now held by the board of city
trusts, and known az the Franklin fund.-
be turned over to them, alleging
that the provisions of his will are in
violation Of the rule of perpetuities
in common law. Under will, probated in
1850, Franklin bequeathed in trust to Phil
adelphia and Boston each $1,000 to be in
vested in loans at Ave per cent. interest
to married young artifcers'' to assist in
establishing them in business. He had
in view the accumulation OF a
large, fund fol. the purpose specified,
years the remainder to be reinvested for
one hundred years more. The first period
having elapsed. the Philadelphia fund has
reached 500, 900 and the Boston fund nearly

before action ia taken at Boston. There
are about fifty heirs In this vicinity.

men acted on that supposition. They
formed a "true" result, by eliminating
the precinct and DISTINGUISHING liza duly
qualified electors.
What the law authorized them to do,
they did not and could not do. They
had no proper return. There was no
abstract from Silver Bow before them,
as required by law. But their treachery
and disingenuousness do not end here.
They met on October 31st and decided
on November 4th. While they were in
session, the Judgment awarding the per-
emptory writ on the county board was
made by the district court, whose juris-
diction in the premises cannot be ques-
toned. There was another communica-
ton from the county clerk of which
these honest and honorable gentlemen
make no mention. They transferred by
their silence his letter Of the 2lst to the
31st, but the actual letter of the 31st
did not suit them at all. They burked
it. The county clerk makes affidavit
that when he sent the abstract of votes
on October 31st, he attached copy OF
the judgment Of the court. These hon.
est and honorable gentlemen on the 4th
Of November rendered the deliverance
they did with knowledge that court
Of competent jurisdiction had ordered
certain essential returns to be made and
that within three days the comp3ete re-
turns, for which their souls had been
pining, would be in their hands.

A JAUNDICED VIEW.

The good ex-Rev. w. Il. II. Murray
has grievance against the daily news.
paper, and would reform, or transform
it by making it an endowed institution,
under no necessity of offending sensi-
tive people like himself in the mad race
for what is called news and that which
it's publication brings, money. II such
and such things (Which no reputable
newspaper does) are reckoned good jour
nalism by the journalists of America,
Mr.. Murray says in an article in the
October Arena, then it is time that the
ruling genius ct the American news
paper, whora he suspects Of being an I'M
couth being with indications of cloven
hoof and horn, retire to make place for a
real nice gentleman, just like college
president, who would have for his staff
a company OF classical scholars who
would give us daily journals modelled
upon the English plan, possibly barring
the advertising features of those publ
cations. Coming from gentleman who
has hunted bear in the Adirondacks,
piled the rod in a hundred New Eng
land streams and chased the longhorn
steer upon the llano Estacado of Texas,
this proposition is startling one. Pos
sibly Mr.. Murray has had enough ex-
element in the course of his varied
career and longs for rest; and there is
nothing more restful than an English
newspaper. It is field of peoples, a
bale of hasheesh, crate of hydrate of
chloral all in one original package. Oc-
casionally, however, the English news
paper press flies off on a tangent and
publishes as news accounts of affairs
which American journalists carefully
exclude from the columns over which
they exercise control, and personal jour-
nalism has attained foothold in Eng
land such as it has never obtained here.
In short, there is little in the newspapers
of Great Britain that American journals
could initiate with honor to themselves
or in justice to their patrons. Mr.. MUIR
rays diatribe suggests disordered liver
rather than the existence Of the abuses
that he intimates is characteristic of
American newspapers.

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be,
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
oective purchaser, not for the in
struction Of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to a few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
IS fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement of plain facts-that
lacks the impress of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fiction-such an advertisement
