amount to nothing. The congress during its
existence had spent too much time on local
measures II was time the congress did some
| thing cs a congress.
Mr.. hlotz asked how much il was going to
! cost to pass the laws.
Mr.. Jeffries said that there was difficulty
| IN any state in passing any good law for the
beneficial plan. No grease was needed to pass
members of beneficial socie ties in
the different legislatures. The discussion was
| continued to considerable length. Mr.. Wills
| suggested that perhaps it would be better
member from each of the societies in
stead of ono member from each state
Mr.. Morse of New York said the
resolution should be passed. He pledged
his society, the Order OF Chosen Friends. to
the resolution. Mr.. Morse then proceeded to
pay his respects to the insurance superin-
| teudents, whom he denounced vigor-
orsly. Mr.. Morse then gave his idea of
what the law should be. The Law should repeal
all pas. laws ard should provide that no fu-
| ture laws should be taken as applying to fra
ternai societies tianshterl unless it was espec-
| tally stated in such laws that such application
be made. Applause ard laughter.l
MI kiotz said he would not state whether he
favored or opposed the resolution but he stated
fatty that he would not pledge his order
knights OF HONOR for any additional expense
for the purpose. He did not believe that the
committee could agree on law and that
II they did 1t would not be passed by single
legislature. Mr.. Archer made q clear explana-
ton OF the difficulties to be met in the framing
and passage of such an uniform law. He
thought that proposed law should be consid-
cred by the congress itself and he favored the
appointment of a committee which should re-
port such law at the next congress.
Mr.. j. w. Kinsley said he opposed the rosolu-
ton in its present shape. He objected to the
words hire a lawyer" Why not have a COM
mittee Of the many good lawyers in the con-
gress! Then he objected to the size of the
committee. and besides. thought the next con-
gress should consider the matter
Mr. hinsley then proposed a substitute, pro-
ylding that the committee on legislation be
directed to draft a uniform bill to be presented
to the several legislatures and to be considered
by the next fraiernal congress.
A discussion of the substitute was interrupted
by adjournment for lunch.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Largo Number of Government Cases Dis

Large Number of Government Cases Dis
posed Of At the Last Session.
A tabulated statement Of the business Of the
Supreme Court, and particularly Of the bust
ness Of the United States in that court for the
past ten years, shows that the largest number
of government cases ever disposed Of at one
term prior to the last was eighty-six in 1881 :;
whereas at the last term there were disposed of
one hundred and eighty government cases. The
largest number Of government cases
decided at any previous term was
sixty-one, whereas at the last term
there were decided of government cases ninetv-
three. The largest number decided at any pre-
vious term in favor Of tho government was
-thirty-three in 1884, whereas at the last
term there were decided in favor Of
the government sixty-two. being just two out
of three of all government cases decided, o
higher ratio Of decisions in favor of the gov
eminent than in any previous year. and a very
much higher ratio in favor of the government
than in any previous year except 1884, in which
there were thirty-three cases decided in favor
of the government and seventeen against
The table also shows that the highest total Of
cases disposed of by the Supreme Court In any
previous term was 40, whereas there
there we're disposed OF at the last term Gl7
cases, and of this number about 80 per cent
almost one-third. were government cases.

One 10 Not q Majority.

An interesting question appertaining to liquor
licenses has just been decided by the assistant
attorney for the District, Mr.. s. T. Thomas
The liquor regulations and the law require
among other things that the applicant for a
bar room license shall present along with his
application for a license the permission, evil
denced by their signatures. Of q majority of
the owners of real estate and Of the residen to
keeping house on the square on the opposite
side of the street from the bar room. The ap-
plication of Mr.. James wormley for o retail
liquor license at his hotel on 18th street was re-
Gently rejected by Commissioner Douglass upon
the report of Lieut.. Amiss, who stated that the
applicant lacked one signer Of o majority on
18th street
The case lie peculiar in that the applicant
has one of the only two residents on the east
side Of 18th street. and the question which Mr.
Thomas was called upon to decide was whether
one was a majority Of two.
In his opinion upon the case he say that a
majority means more than half, and since one
is rot more than half of two the applicant has
not majority.

DEATH IN A RUSSIAN VILLAGE

Horrors of the Famine Described by an
Orthodox Priest.
Father Filmanof, an Orthodox Russian
priest in the province of Kasan describes thus
his visit to the starving village of Naredey:
I'm the first half hour l met sixteen persons
in the death struggle. An old woman died be
fore my eyes. Most of the starving persons
had not tasted bread for eight days. White
faced, blear-eyed, the stricken men stared
helplessly at me. They have lost even the
strength required to stretch out their hands in
mute petition for bread. Only the most for
tunate have their prayer granted; the rest die
before help can arrive. Before the houses on
the curbs, at the church door and the market
place saw the pale. haggard, bent and dis
eased figures. Every look meant hunger AMI
weakness. Some crept along in apparent in
difference and resignation; others acted as il
mad, and cried: Bread! Bread! Don't let us
die -
'The mothers whose children have already
succumbed to hunger lament day and night
Everything edible has been consumed. So
long as there were weeds and berries life was
possible. but when these were gone all felt
themselves face to face with death. In their
despair they stripped the leaves from the lin
dens, dried and ground them and made them
into porridge. This concoction stilled the
pain for about fourteen days. but afforded little
nourishmen.. Then the lindens were stripped
bare and the people began to die. Starvation
makes such rapid ravages hereabouts that
within eight days in one village of $50 families
forty-seven families have died out entirely"

SMOKING IN CHURCH.

The Weed Was Used During Divine Service
Even Among the Pilgrim Fathsrs.
From All the Year Round
At one period Of its history smoking was 20

The Rev. DR.. Parr, when perpetual curate Of
Hatton. Warwickshire, which living he held
from 1888 to 1880. regularly smoked in the
vestry while the congregation were singing
long hymns, chosen for the purpose, imme-
diately before the sermon. The doctor was
wont to eSclaim; my people like long hymns,
but prefer long pipe"

known Baptist minister. regularly INDUCED in
smoking during the intervals Of divine wor-
Sir Walter Scott, in hy Heart Of Midlo-
THAN, refers to one Duncan of Knockdunder,
an important parsonage who smoked during
the whole OF the sermon, from an iron pipe,
tobacco borrowed from other worshipers. We
are told that ''at the end of the discourse he
shocked The ashes out of his pips, replaced it
| Its owner and Joined in the prayer with de-
cency and attention"
The Puritan fathers were greatly addicted
70 smoking. Indeed, the practice became SO
common that even these strait-laced observers
OF times and seasons actually smoked in church.
lhis custom soon caused very considerable an
noyance. as the religious exercises were greatly
disturbed by the clinking of fiints and steels to
hight their pipes and the clouds Of smoke in
church. Hence, in the year 1869, the colony
passed this law: 1T is enacted that any person
or persons that shall be found smoking of to-
bacco on the Lords day, going to or coming
from the meetings. within two miles Of meet
ing house. shall pay IL pence for every such de-
fault Under this law several persons were
actually fined, but the punishment failed to Sc
cure the carrying out Of the arbitrary second
portion Of the enactment
The custom of smoking during church sery-
ice was not confined to the laity and minor
clergy. for it is recorded that an archbishop of
York was once reproved by the vicar of st.
Marys Nottingham. for attempting to smoke
in the church vestry

OF the apParitors or other attendants to bring

Disney's ears, he forbade their being brought

strated with the archbishop upon the impro-
Priety OF his conduct, at the same time telling

The Richest Man in Australia.

From the Galignani Messenger
Mr.. James Tyson-or, as he is Familiarity
called, "Old Jimmy"-the Queensland million
aire, and reputed to be the wealthiest man in
Australia. is well known throughout that con-
tinent. He is at present making a most deter
mined stand against the Queensland union
shearers. The Nd,randera Ensign thinks it is
an appropriate time to call attention to some of
the doings of Mr.. Tyson. 1t says: 1--WE find
Mr.. Tyson in New South Wales, at the
regent financial crisis, offering to take
up f4.00O,0O0 worth of government treas
ury bills at moderate rate Of inter-
est. AS the public well know, this offer was
declined. few years back. when the large
cathedral that adorns Brisbane was in course
of construction. the collector FOR the building
fund called upon well-known mercantile firm
for a subscription, but lie was politely told that
he should go to the rich people, who might be
go to Jimmy Tyson; he has more than any of
u.s." Cup to that time ''Jimmy's" name was
never seen on any list for mere than 81. }
''Well," said the collector, las Tyson is rich
man, will go to him for a donation" DO"
said the head Of the firm, '.and whatever
the came amount" The collector, q
few DAYS later. meeting Mr.. Tyson, related to
HIM what had taken place and concluded by
saving, $50, Mr. Tyson. 1 do not know what
your name on my list" ''Well,' said Mr.
Tyson. m sruff voice, ''give me yer pen and
ink and I'll give yees bob or two" Jimmy"
went into private room and wrote out q check
for 1000 and gave it to the astonished col
lector. On another occasion the SUBJ
ject OF this sketch sent lady a
check for E300 toward parsonage
fund" The lady, in a jocular manner, sent
the check back. and asked Mr. Tyson if he had
not forgotten the other CO., at the end of the
figures. Mr. Tyson felt aggrieyed and imnie-
diately burned the check ard did not subscribe
one shilling. Although he has been known to
refuse swagman match unless he was paid
for it he has on the other hand been known to
help widows and orphans to the tune OF
thousands.
