1.-THE Leading Ladies' Home PAPER

Surely, no other recommendation
than the following list Of contributors
is necessary to convince our readers
that III home papers, The Housekeeper,
published semi-monthly at Minneapolis.
Minnesota, is by all odds the best.
Notes on Housekeeping" for the No
vember number is made up of sketches
by Mrs. President Harrison, Mrs. Ex-
Governor Martin, Mrs. Senator Ingalls,.
Mrs. Senator Morgan, Mrs. Senator
Bate. Mrs. John sherman, Mrs. j. Il.
Richardson and Mrs 5. u. Snyder.
"Our Current Comment" devoted to
the Scientific, Social, News and Arts
tic topics of the day, is filled with mat
ter unsurpassed by Century, Scribner's
or Harper's; Emily Huntington Miller
expresses, in an able article. her views
of Women Wage-Workers. Canadian
readers will be particularly interested
in Judge Mahoney's Notes on AnneXa-
ton; Professor Bradley on Compulsory
Education says: Efforts should be
made by teachers. the public press, and
all friends of intelligence and good
citizenship to retain pupils in school
until they can be really educated, and
that law to enforce attendance should
be passed without delay" n not less
interesting article is "a Field for Rich
Women" by Frances A. Shaw. The
writer, in speaking of the many chart
tible institutions founded and carried
on by Mrs. Quincy A. Shaw, of Boston,
uses this beautiful sentiment: IF all
endowed with wealth used the gifts of
fortune as wisely as she. the problems
now agitating society and threatening
to undermine our social system, would
be easily solved, the great gulf between
the rich and poor would be narrower,
and in place of the unpleasant rancors
and jealousies, feeling of mutual re-
spect and good will would exist"
The publishers inform us that a
large supply of similar matter has
been arranged for and that The House
keeper will be better than ever before.

one-quarter larger.

Edward Cross, an employe of d. o. Gun
ningham's window glass factory, at South

painful accident yesterday afternoon that
may make him a cripple for life. Cross
occupation is what is known as tending
boy" or gatherer, and at the time of his
mishap had just carried some glass rollers
from the factory and was in the act of open
ing one OF them. The glass did not crack
readily, and Cross struck the upper side OF
the cylinder with the palm of his hand.
The blow, instead Of opening the roller.
broke it, allowing his hand to drop into the
hole made BY the blow. Cross hand was
almost severed from his wrist, the muscles
and arteries being cut. His life was endan-
gered by the enormous loss of blood before
the assistance of a physician could be
secured.
Some employees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road brought man who was severely in
jured to the West Penn Hospital last night.
They said that he had been found laying

ing-ResoIutions of Progress Adopted.
At the morning session of the convention
of the Reformed and United Presbyterian
Churches Yesterday, Rev. j. II. Leiper, of
Philadelphia, read paper on the historical
branch Of the subject and the unity of the
churches represented in the convention.
DR.. J. P. Lytle spoke on the doctrinal and
and practical part OF the subject. Rev. J..
S. T. Milligan, of Kansas, said it was a
wonderful Providence that these churches
had for SO long keen kept so near tog ether
DR.. McAllister. while admitting that these
three churches ought to be one, thought the
convention should keep in view the fact
that it is to seek the organic unity of the
whole Evangelical Church. Rev. E. NJ.
Milligan, of the Reformed Presbyterian
Synod, said his church would not be faith
full if she refused 10 unite with other
churches which differ no more from them
than they differ among themselves.
At the afternoon session the first resolu-
tion was to the effect that the present condi-
ton of the church and society demands the
followers of Christ to draw closer together
and to manifest their oneness in Him by a
deeper sympathy with each other and
more earnest cooperation in His service.
The resolution was adopted without discus
sion.
AT the evening session Rev. DIR. W. H.
French and Rev. DR.. r. j. George, made
addresses on the subject: "The Outpourlng
of the Spirit as an Endowment Necessary
to the Ends we Seek" Rev. DR.. McAllis-
ter reported resolutions to the effect that con-
soldation can only be obtained by organic
union. He recommended to the supreme
iudicatories of the respective churches, that
they cooperate more fully in all Christian
work, thus paving the way for the union so
earnestly desired, and ultimately secur-
ing the organization of all our churches.
He also recommended that a COM
mittee be appointed to urge the
duty of scriptural union before the
supreme courts of the several branches
of the church represented. The following
committee was appointed to arrange for an
other convention in October next: Rev. E.
G. Littell. j. J. Stewart, Rev. John Alfred,
j. w. Houston, Rev. j. g. X. Milligan and
Henry O'Neil.
DR.. j. P. Lytle said there is a secret Sa-
tanic empire in the land. He had heard
that many ministers in the other churches
are Freemasons. care we going to pledge
ourselves, he exclaimed, "that we're to 20
to meet them on any terms acceptable to
them?"
