WHEN in order to save the sane
tity of the church it is necessary to
eXpel a young lady from its MEM
bership for no other cause than
that of working in telephone eX-
change on Sunday, that she might
provide for an invalid mother and
young brother, it is high time to
enquire if such church sanctity is
worth saving. The act of turning
an unprotected girl out on the
world, exposed to temptation, on
such ground as this, is far from the
law of loving care laid down by the
Christ. The church that has done
this thing is morally responsible
for the consequences of withdraw
ing its oversight from this young
woman, and in case of her going
aStray will answer to her master
for their neglect. How strange 1t
is that the real spirit of Christ en-
ters so little into the thought and
life Of his church. How in his
name an act could be performed
that is utterly foreign to every
word and act of his is one of those
things 50 pulling to the mind o
the ordinary humanity.

IT will be impossible to recruit
desirable immigrants for the in
dustries and development of the
New South so long as the policy of
the states of that New South repu-
dates protection for her infant in
dustries. The south, just fairly
entering on her life of industrial
enterprise, needs protection against
the older established manufactO-
ries of the north just as mnch as
that north needed protection from
the old world manufactures a gen.
Grafton ago. This protective po-
Icy is the only one under which
the newly created industries of the
south can be built up, and live
manufacturers know it. 1t is time
that common sense governed in
political life and fostered home
industry.

THE railroads have come up to
the relief of the Worlds fair pro-
jectors and subscribed for the last
million dollars of the five million
dollar bond issue. This will give
the management abundant funds
with which to finish all their pre-
parations and carry on the work
of the great exposition. 1t has
cost a mint of money, but it will
be worth all that it has required
of pluck and cash.

THE foreigners who man the
mining works in Pennsylvania
from time to time indulge in a
pitched battle that results in
broken bones and noses, but that af-
fairin Hazleton in which half a dOz-
en- were killed and as many more
mOrtally wounded was more san
guine affair than has heretofore
been chrOnicled. This comes from
importing the scum OF southern
Europe to work in the mines at
starvation rates, thus perpetuating
the native brutishneSS of their dis
position by keeping them in a con-
dition that precludes all possibility
of improving their condition in
any way. This evil will only come
to an end with many others that
follow in its train when the immi-
grafton laws are wisely revised and
the incoming of these foreign
hOrdes absolutely prevented. Till
then we wait and hope.

TIE Tip" nuisance will never
be abolished 50 long as leading ho-
tells pay their walters only board
wages and their porters nothing,
leaving them to make their living
out of the tips that are given
them. The hotels should pay all
their servants, discharge every one
who accepts tip, and charge in
the regular bill all that the guest
i required or expected to pay
When this is done there is nc
doubt that the hotel service will
Jr improved and the travelling
public better satisfied.

SAN JACINTo DAY.

day of April. A day sacred to Tex
as and dedicated to the memory o
patriotic deeds. A day forever en-
shrined in the hearts of those who
love liberty and rejoice in the en-
reimbursement of a gallant people
1t was on this day that the power
of the oppressor was broken on the
decisive field of San JacintO, fifty
seven years ago, and the heroic
struggle for Texas independence SO
gloriOusly won. 1t was a day that
wiped out the debt incurred by the
| Texas LiberatOrs at the Alamo and
squared the account with Santa
Anna. In that glOriOusly won
battle under Houston the Mexican
loss in killed nearly equalled
the numbers of the victorious
army, while the prisoners were as
many more. The eventful years
that have elapsed have seen this
state grow great, rich and proper
Gus. No hostile foes approach her
soil. The Rio Grande flows peace
fully between her and her ancient
enemy, their rivalry that of COM
merce and the healthful indus
tries of trade. No rude alarms
disturb the serenity of the Lone
Star State, but under her own
vines, beneath her own fig trees she
rests from her martial labOrS and
grows great in the yearly increase
of all that forms the wealth of a
mighty people. Sitting thus to-
day in the lap of her own luxury
she recOunts the struggles and the
achievements of her splendid past,
learns wisdom in the book of her
former experiences, and an in
tense love of country in the gal
liant record of her patriotic
sires. Wisely observant of the
days that are so distinctively her
own, she sets apart this Dist day of
April as an annual Sabbath in
which the land shall rest from its
labors and remember the deliver
ance that was wrought out for it
on the bloody field of San JacintO.
In this gOOdly city, the fairest in
all the great breadth of this fair
state, the day is made distinctive
one by the "Battle of Flowers"
fought in the eye of the cold
Alamo" within whose historic
walls the braVeSt blood of Texas
was poured out like water, liba-
ton on the affairs of Librty.
There is something peculiar
ly fitting in this remem-
berance of "San JaCintO" in
the face of the alamo" The
memory is not alone of San Jacin-
to and victory, but the fragrance
of these flowers, crushed under
foot of the smiling contestants,
rises like a perpetual perfume,
breathing balm into the wounds
Of the despOiled "Alamo." All
hail the glorious day of San Jacin-
to! All hail the beautiful city of
San Antonio! All hail the
"Battle of FlOwersw AS long
as Texas lives and grows may
the wounded hearts of her
children find healing balm in the
fragrance of loving deeds and holy
memories, as the Alamo heals her
hurt in the fragrance of the BATTLE
Flowers" of San JaclntO.

By the death of Mr.. Henry Broadwood,
the head of the we'll known firm of piano
forte manufacturers, the country loses
one who, by his inventive power and
business capacity, did much to revolu-
tionize the trade with which he was as
sociated To his initiative was due the
adoption in this country of the iron
framed pianos now universally used,
which were founded on an American idea.
In 1916 he finished the first piano ever
made here with a complete iron frame,
and it was as a consequence of this in
vention that he added the trichord ar
rangement of strings in order to aug
ment the tone.
The advantages of the trichord were
at once seen, and it was adopted by other
makers, but it was many years before
the iron frame became equally popular.
Indeed its advantages were appreciated
to a larger extent in Germany than in
this country, and being almost entirely
used in the German pianos sent here it
has been regarded by many as German
invention. It was Mr.. Broadwood, too,
who introduced the pianette into this
ountry.-London Globe.

a Great Chess PLAYER.

For more than 80 years Mr.. J. H..
Blackburne has played chess. He is now
so. He has played IS games blindfold
simultaneously. After such a contest,
however, it is said that he cannot sleep
for hours. He often discards the game
for weeks, declaring that after hard
fought match the sight of a chessboard
becomes hateful to him. 1t is said that
the first time he ever played Steinitz was
at club, where some friends anxious
for sport managed to bring them to-
gether Their identity was kept secret
from one another, and each thought the
other some ambitious amateur. After
the opening moves, however, both real
lied that it was to be a hard fight. The
game lasted nearly four hours and end
ed in a draw.-London Tit-Bits.

cool, and supposed that everybody had
gone inside, but presently, on the other
side of the pillar, l heard man and a
woman talking. didn't intend to be
listener, but 1 didn't feel like running
away and so could not help hearing
what they said. They were discussing
spiritualism and the future state. The
man said: 4 do not believe in the pop
ular idea of spirits in heaven. / believe
that we merely become resolved again
into the lump of the essence of life, what
ever that is. without any distinction one

"'Then, DEAR she said, you and /
won't go to such place, will we, sweet
hea..t?
There wasn't another sound for a
half hour" continued Mr.. Kennedy,
then she said: Dear, it's getting late.

There was silence for another half hour,
and then he went home. That's the kind

how about those Of us who are outsider
Then L say Come into the kingdom,
come out &c the prison house into the
glorious sunlight of Gods mercy and
pardon, and come now.
It was in tie last days of the reign of
terror-the year 1893. Hundreds and
thousands had persisted under the French
guillotine. France groaned with the
tyrannies of Robespierre and the Jaco-
bin club. The last group of sufferers
had had their locks shorn by Monchotte,
the prison barber, so that the neck might
be bare to the keen knife of the guillo-
tine.
The carts came up to the prison, the
poor wretcses were placed in the carts
and driven off toward the scaffold, but
while they were going toward the scaffold
there was an cutlery in the street, and
then the shock of firearms, and then the
cry: "RObespierre has falleni Down
with the Jacobins! Let France be freew
But the armed soldiers rode in upon
these rescuers, SO that the poor wretches
in the carts were taken on to the scaffold
and horribly died.
But that very night these monsters of
persecution were seized, and Robespierre
persisted under the very guillotine that
he had reared for others, all France clap
ping their hands with joy as his head
rolled into the executioner's basket
Then the axes of the excited populace
were heard pounding against the gates
of the prison, and the poor prisoners
walked out free. Ny friends, sin is the
worst of all Robespierres. 1t is the ty-
rant of tyrants. 1t has built prison
house for our soul. It plots our death.
1t has shorn us for the sacrifice; but,
blessed be God, this morning we hear
the axes of Gods gracious deliverance
pounding against the door of our prison.
Deliverance has come. Light breaks
through all the wards of the prison.
Revolution! Revolution! "Where sin
abounded, grace does much more
abound; that whereas sin reigned unto
death even so grace may reign unto
eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord" Glorious truth! A Saviour dead;
a Saviour risen; a Saviour exalted; a
Saviour intercedingi
