AS TO THE MATTER OF FAITH.

J. G. Blaine. Jr., Makes a Statement for
His MOther-Father Ducey.
The following card was issued from Mr..
Blaine's residence at 10 O'Clock last night:
Mrs. Blaine, in reply to the many let
ters of anxious inquiry sent heron this sub
iect, asks me to state that there is not the
slightest truth in the report that Mr..
Blaine has entered the Roman Catholic
church, and that nothing could be further
from his thought or intention. It should
be needless to state that Father Ducey has
never been at the house" This is signed
by James G. Blaine, Jr.
And yet there are half dozen reports
positively stating that Father Duce, has
been seen going into and coming from the
Blaine mansion. 1t is said that Cardinal
Gibbons has also visited the family, and it
will be noticed that this is not denied.
An Explanation from Baltimore.

Is an explanation from Baltimore that
looks plausible, at least. A well informed
Roman Catholic of that city says that the
assistance of "the two churchman is being
invoked to secure reconciliation between
james G. Blaine, Jr. and his divorced wife.
1t will be remembered that Father Ducey
played conspicuous part in this unhappy
matrimonial alliance. He married the
couple and the ex-secretary has held him
responsible for the trouble resulting

DISSENTING LAKE FRONT VIEW.
Three Supreme Court judges Who Disa-
gree with Four Others.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I7-The dissenting
opinion of Justice Shiras in the Chica-,,
lake front case was yesterday laid before
his associates of the supreme court in per-
fected form. Mr.. Shiras holds that the
ownership of a state in the lands underlv-
ing its navigable waters Is ~ complete an,

simple Matter of Contract
Should the railroad company disregard
any of these restraints the state had the
power by judicial proceeding to enioin it
or could treat it a legal ground for
forfeiting the grant. But SO long as the
railroad company fulfilled its part of the
agreement so long is the state of Illinois.

tion of the United States from any
act impairing the obligation of its
contract The able and interesting
statement ia the opinion of the majority
of the court (Justice Shiras says) as to the
rights of the public in the navigable waters
and of the limitations of the powers of the
state to part with its control over them is
not dissented from. But its pertinency in
the present discussion is not clearly seen.

in the exercise of any reserved power, is
void" Justices Gray and Brown concur in

South and then neither fear nor shame
can deter Methodist parents from send

We are assembled here to day, my
friends, to dedicate these grounds and
buildings to the sacred cause of chris
tian education.
The advent of christianity into the
world lifted education to a higher plane
than it had ever attained before. 1t
furnished new seed and a better culture
for human civilization, and elevated the
human mind to a loftier line of thought.
The divine and human in Christ was a
new revelation of God and it not only
inspired man with a new hope of immor-
tality, which of itself is a most potent
agency for securing the highest good to
the world, but it furnished also the power
and the model for the most just and hui
name regulation of human society.
Conspicuous amongst these forces, was
that which lifted woman from the sphere
of a slave OF a toy, and placed her in that
of a queen. 1t marked off the metes and
boundaries of her empire, and made her
the sovereign of a power that is un-
equalled and unparalleled for the better
ment of a world. 1t is the solid and al
most universal virtue of womanhood
thatstays and beats back the tide of q
moral leprosy, which would otherwise
submerge our christian civilization. And
then, added to this, she has a peculiar
genius for establishing the principles of
christianity in the home, and of WELD
ing this influence upon society.
