THERE is little need 10 exhortan
intelligent people to divide their ener-

their own accord. Much less is there
need of legislation to induce any peo-
pie, intelligent or unintelligent, to di-
vide their energies suitably. If they
lack the intelligence to find out for
themselves what they can do to adj
vantage no legislation can help them
any. An act of congress cannot add

have taken warning. The English in

AS LONG as the gold brick, the manip-
ulation of the three cards and the
wiles of the bunco man continue to
entrap people who should know better,
it is likely that fools will be found to
believe that they are entitled to share
in a fortune Of fabulous amount which
lies in the Bank Of England or else
where. This swindle is exposed every
week, but scarcely a day passes with
out bringing us the story OF some new
crop of gudgeons who are contributing
of their substance to fatten the pro-
fessional fortune sharks. The credu-
lous farmer, who joins an association
of members of the Jones or Brown
family, for the purpose of securing
his portion of such an accumulation,
would be Mortified If he could see his
agent in London smacking his lips
over Clicquot and smoking Henry
Claws.

that man can do to make the lot of
his wife easier and so many that will
tend to make it happier, none of which
costs him anything. Careful and con-

these things keep love alive, and, if

Seized by the throat by the most
frightful OF agonies, Lucien tried to
utter a cry, and, in the effort which
he made, awoke from his nightmare on
the club settee, on which he had gone
to sleep little before midnight, and
where the attendant who had quilted
the house last had left him out OF
charity.
The misty dawn OF December
morning was grazing the window
panes.
Lucien went out in the street, pledged
his watch, took a bath, breakfasted,
and then went to the recruiting office
and signed an engagement as
81 volunteer in the First regi-
ment OF Chasseurs d Antique.
At the present time Lucien Hem is o
lieutenant; he has only his pay to
live upon, but he contrives to make
it suffice, being a very steady officer
and never touching a card. It APP
pears even that he has found the
means OF saving, for the other day,

Lucien had given to the child.

lieutenant's generosity.

OF the poor child a piece of gold!--

Expelled for Hereay.

PITTsBURG. Pa, June IL. The sen.
sational trials OF the six young minis
ters of the Reformed Presbyterian
church ended yesterday and the synod,
by vote of 90 to 81, expelled five of
them from the church. The charges
against them were scandal libel and
following divisive courses in declaring
in favor of the right OF franchise.
Their names are: Revs. f. M. MILL
gan, j. K. J. Milligan, W. II. Reed.
w. L. c. Samson, j. c. X. Milligan.
Rev. A. w. McClurkins' appeal was
sustained, and r. b. Burnett, the stu
dent also charged with heresy, has not
yet been tried. Immediately after the
announcement OF the vote all the sus-
pended ministers left the church. They
were met on the outside by several
ministers OF the United Presbyterian
church, who extended to them in an
informal way the right hand of fellow
ship. The scene during the voting
was very exciting. The verdict was
not unexpected and several ministers
notified the synod OF their intention to
follow the young men.
The thirty-seven who voted against
the suspension of the young men, this
afternoon presented paper OF dissent
from the action OF the synod and asked
that it be spread upon the minutes.
Rev. E. NJ. Milligan was the first to
catch the eye OF the moderator after
the announcement OF the vote He
said I'm view OF the fact that this
synod has found me guilty of scandal,
libel and following divisive courses, |
therefore appeal to the bar OF an en-
lightened Christian conscience and
place myself on trial in the Mononga-
hela presbytery OF the United Presby-
terrain church" He was followed by
the other suspended ministers.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The gov
eminent is actively engaged in prepar-
ing to carry out the plan for closed
season in Behring sea this year. 1t is
understood that the force of revenue
cutters now in those waters is to be
supplemented by one or more of the
naval vessels now in CHILEAN waters at
the earliest possible moment. The
British government wishes the agree
ment to be strictly observed. Minister
Pauncefote proposed that authority be
given the British government to sta
ton an agent on the seal islands to
make sure beyond doubt that the North
American commercial company does
not kill more than the 1900 seals
fixed in the agreement. The request
was promptly denied by the president,
who felt that it was reflection upon
the good faith OF this government and
could not be permitted, but he saw fit
to allow the British agent to visit the
islands to informally ascertain the ex-
act state of the seal fisheries.

Kansas El9ht-Hour Law

KANSAS CRY, No., June IA
special from Topeka says The law
passed by the recent legislature pro-
viding that eight hours shall be davis
work for all employees OF the state will
necessitate the closing OF the state in
situations unless special arrangements
arc made for keeping them open. The
work of these institutions cannot be
done if the present force OF employees
works only eight hours. To do the
work properly will necessitate l, 200
new employees. The appropriations
passed by the late legislature will not
permit of the employment OF any more
employees.
The question OF working the present
forces over eight hours day was re-
ferred to Attorney General Ives. He
gives it as his opinion that the au-
thorities who permit employees to work
over eight hours day will violate the
law and subject themselves to heavy
tines.
The governor will probably call
special session of the legislature to pass
emergency appropriations so as to per-
NIT the employment OF the necessary
extra number of state servants.

Trumbull In Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 12-Senator
Trumbull, indicted by California
court on the charge of violation of the
United States neutrality laws in con-
nection with the insurgent vessel of
Chill, was here yesterday.
Trumbull had long interview with
Secretary Tracy on the subject which
cannot be learned, but there is reason
to believe that he made a strong plea
for the insurgent cause and sought to
have the arms still on the Itata remain
in the custody OF Admiral Mccain un-
til a Judicial determination of their
ownership can be reached.
10 representative OF the Associated
press Trumbull said the condition of
affairs in Chilli was one OF absolute
despotsm. He CrrumbulD had no
hope OF relief as the result of the pres
idential election which takes place in
Chilli this month. Balmaceda's follow
ing. he said, comprised all the office
holders and hangers-on, but the people
rs whole were opposed to him.
Nevertheless, in the present state of
affairs Bylmaceda will find it an easy
matter to dictate his successor.
