The English church and theology.

What occurred some years ago in Nam
chester affords a remarkable illustration
of the fact that theological prosecutions
serve only to emphasize our church's in
difference to theology. In that town
were two priests. named respectively
Green and Kuox-Little. who both pro-
fessed the same high" creed AND both
practiced the same elaborate ritual. The
former being the less popular of the two
was less expensive to prosecute; he was
therefore selected for that purpose by the
Church Association, and was condemned
to a term Of Imprisonment. While he
was still in jail, KnoX-Little was pro-
NOTED to a canonry. Here was a reductio
ad absurdum Of the opinion that our
church concerns herself with ereeds or
rituals. IL was shown 10 be the falsest Of
delusions. For Of two men whose creeds
and rituals were identical, the one was
placed in a Cathedral stall and the other
found himself In an ecclesiastical dun
geon. The punishments and rewards Of
t he Church Of England are administered
with sublime disregard for the doctrines
and ceremonies OF their recipients Rev.
Or. Alfred Momerte In the Nay Forum.

IN HIS OWN COURT.
Justice Frank KimmerIy Dispensss jus
tice to a Cross-Eyed Druak.

Justice FRANK hiulmef4y DiaponSeS Jus
tice to a Cross-Eyed Drunk.
Justice Frank Kimmerly opened court
this morning promptly at half-past eight
o'clock in the new Fourth precinct sta
ton house. The court room was crowded
with his constituents, who were DESTROYS
Of seeing him deal out justice in his WI
court.
Police Commissioner Van Keuren, JUS
tice Puster, Justice Lowry and Tax Com
missioner German occupied front seats
and seemed interested in the proceedings.
On the Judges desk, almost hiding him
from view, was an immense floral piece
designed as the scales of justice, the gift
of his genial clerk, John I. +. O'Connell.
The clerk was also made the recipient OF
a handsome bouquet, but the name Of the
fair giver he refused TO disclose.
The first prisoner arraigned was Dennis
Sullivan, an habitual drunkard. Justice
Kimmerley was lenient with him, and
ordered hin sent to the almhouse for the
summer months.
The lobby groaned, and two suDersti-
tious gentlemen remarked, Frank Is in
hard luck,' when Charles Hedges, a cross
eyed carpenter Of No. 305 Washington
street, was arraigued with James McHugh
ONO. 131 Cole street, to answer a charge
of drunkenness. 1he prisoners were
found lying in the gutter on Pacific
They were given the preference
Of paying S. fine or going to the County
jail for ten days. Hedges paid his fine
and was released. The next prisoner
called was William Carey of No. Cos Gar
field avenue, charged with burglary, by
Michael Burke of No. 449 Communipaw
avenue. Mr.. Burke, in his com
! plant, alleged that he caught
Carey and an accomplice coming out OF
his stables, which are situated in the rear
OF the Grifflng Iron Works, with a set of
harness valued at $50. Officer Doyle, who
was p~atroling hat post, was summoned,
and placed Carey under arrest. Counsel
lor Manning appeared in his behalf, and
~endeavored to secure his release. Justice
Kimmerly, however, held him for further
examination tomorrow morning.

The marking of table linen affords
great scope to an inventive mind.
Large monograms or initials, worked
in blue, red or in plain satin stitch,
always looks handsome. Everything
in household linen is hemstitched and
veined; yeining being really the same
kind of work as the hemstitch, only
carried out in broader stripes, from
about one inch upward, and worked
into various patterns, which make it
look like a linen lace insertion.
Toilet covers. towels, pillow slips,
sheets, everything, in short, is done
in the same style just now.
Perhaps the most effective way of
marking the table cloths is to EN-
broider the initials or monograms in
white real Scotch linen thread. This
monogram should be worked in the
corner of each napkin or the table
cloth in large script letters. The
letters are first marked out with pen
ell and then raised roughly
with thread worked lengthwise. This
will raise the letters sufficiently so
that the plain embroidery stitch
known as lover and over a finish
off the work nicely. They should be
ironed on the wrong side and the let
out. All fancy table linen should be
marked in this way and especial pains
should be taken to make the lettering
on the napkins fine and attractive.

How Brown is Said to Have
Convinced the Freeholders.

Convinced the F~reeholders.
The Board of Freeholders Intends to
build an iron fence from the street to the
Freeholders' Office. This proposed fence
has been the source of much worry
to Colonel Brown, the genial host of
Court House Cottage. He has petitioned
the Freenolders to leave q gate between
his hotel and the Court House, and some
of the Freeholders have refused.
the Colonel has in terms as glowing as
his very bald pate expatiated on the con-
venience a gateway would be to the
Court House-how the members of either
bar could thus be quickly attended to, or,
for that matter. the Freeholders who do
not use the back door. These and many
other arguments have been made by the
Colonel, but without success.
Finally he has used his strongest and
most effective argument. for he has de-
clared that if there is no gate built every
Freebooter in the future will have to pay
spot cash for all Refreshments obtained at
his bar. The gate will be built.

bride was placed upon a seat and left
alone.
Then a messenger was sent to the
Dupont street restaurant, and Vice
Consul King was informed that GER
tain members OF the Tin 10y house
hold were at the consulate aud would
like to see him on business of import
ance.
Then it was that H. Y. Chang, Won
Gee kow, Wong Nagu Fun. Lee Nam
and Lee Nun Chan, as representatives
of the groom's family, gathered about
him and led him into the presence OF
the bride. Owyang King was attired
in the costume OF a flanderin, with
the addition of a red sash across the
right shoulder and a few gold aud sill
yer decorations in his turban. He en-
tered the consulate with his friends
by the back door, and as soon as his
arrival became known his friends
throughout the house burst into one
long chorus of congratulations, and
fairly jumped with glee.
Once in the presence of the yelled
bride, who was supported by Qui
Tain, Qui Wong, Qui Cheng and Qui
Lee, four married women, a few words
were spoken by the friends on either
side, and then the groom advanced
and raised the veil from the face and
form of the bride. This was supposed
to have been that the two had met.
The contract binding the two was not
read, but it is retained by the rela-
tives of the groom, who, by the way,
are in China.
The bride was dressed in a simple
dark blue robe, her hair was caught
up behind in a Grecian knot, and she
wore no jewels or ornaments of any
kind whatever.
Then they were told that their
friends had decreed that they should
become man and wife, to which propo-
sition they assented, and pledged their
troths in wine, served to them in sill
yer tankards, which were connected
by a piece OF red ribbon. This cere-
mony has the same significance as the
ring In Christian weddings. The pro-
ceedings over the friends of the couple
congratulated them again and again,
and then retired.
The day after the wedding the wife
of Vice Consul King appeared in a
robe of gorgeous red satin, embroid-
cred in gold and silver. Her hair was
dressed in the fashion of married
women, she wore a coronet and her
jewels and took the title of III Ti-her
ladyship. The day was devoted to
the worship of their ancestors and re-
ceiving the friends of the groom, and
at shutdown the marriage ceremony
was completed. Then, after a lapse
of three days, the brides friends and
followers were permitted to call, and
at the expiration of two weeks the
couple will go through the marriage
service of the Episcopal Church.
Among the presents were over thirty
pairs of bracelets, nearly fifty hairpins
of various designs and many of them
set with jewels, pearl and jadestone
earrings, packages of United States
gold coin, chairs, dress patterns In the
richest kinds of silk, a beautiful bro
caded silk gown. with butterflies
worked in many colors-sent by the
Chinese Legation at Yokohama-sil-
verware, roll after roll of silk, lamps,
lounges and a miscellaneous lot of
trinkets and knickknacks and articles
of clothing.

A FORM of blackmail commonly in
dtsJsd in is to levy an attachment on
a theatrical company on some fake
claim just at the moment when it is
about to move on to some other town.
The company must go on or forfeit its
dates and go to ruin. There is no
time to find bondsmen. and so the
managers pay all sorts of swindling
claims as the less of two evils. Courts
should be very careful to enquire into
the merits of applications for such
orders before granting them.

%Coquettish Aprons.

Aprons arr among the useful kinds
are so common among winter plans
for helping on a pet charity that sum
mer time may be well employed in
preparing a supply of the desirable
articles. There is quite a little fancy,
among those even who new wore an
apron, to begin now for the sake of
getting the coquettish effect the little
Sicilian apron gives to Emily Rigl, in
York" As nearly as opera-glasses en-
able one to detect, it is made of white
Ida canvas, fringed at the side and on
the bottom, and worked in stripes
across all the way to the top with the
Italian colors. Broad lines of drawn
work separate and render distinct the
embroidered stripes, and the top is
gathered and tucked under the
pointed velvet bodice.
A very elegant imported apron
shown by a fashionable dressmaker is
made of a square of beautiful Turkish
satin on each side, entirely covered
with successive rows of black lace.
The lowest 20 goes across the bot
tom of the embroidered piece as well.
Large black or white lace aprons are
liked by some to AIDA little ~dressiness
to q too plain afternoon gown. They
may be lined with colored satin or
left transparent. Young ladies some
times substitute for the narrow waist
band a pointed bodice laced in the
front.
Black or colored satin aprons, cut
all around into t~urrets, with a pleated
rutfie of black lace showing beneath,
are thought by some women to give a
home like expression to the toilette OF
a person serving informal afternoon
tea; at least such is the announce
ment made by a writer in an English
paper.-Harpef'S Bazaar.
