A LIBERAL VIEW.

Those very good but mistaken people
who regard every act save those in
volved in attendance at religious exer-
cises and the reading of prayer books
or Bible as desecration of the Sabbath,
will find little comfort in the senti-
ments of the Rev. w. II. Spencer of the
Fourth Unitarian church as expressed
in his sermon last evening.
Rev. Mr.. Spencer deals with the
question of Sunday observance in a
broad, catholic and liberal spirit. He
does not believe that all the goodness
in the community is to be found among
those who, with solemn faces, attend
religious exercises three times during
the day, any more than that all the bad
ness is confined to those who sail down
the bay or take walk in the woods and
fields.
Sunday, in his opinion, should be
day of rest, recreation and education,
and only those who still cling to Puri-
tanic customs and observances will fail
to endorse his view. The workingman
who for six days in the week tolls in
shop or mill is entitled to rest, and in
making his family the sharer of his
season Of relaxation he renders service
to humanity as great as the mere per-
functory attendance at church.
In the matter of the movement in
augurated at the meeting of clergymen
of the Episcopal diocese to prevent the
desecration of the Sabbath, Mr.. Spencer
places himself in accord with public
sentiment when he says he is in favor
of 1t providing it is intended to suppress
the bar, theatrical performances and
other illegal traffic, but will not inter-
fere with the citizen who wishes to
enjoy Sunday excursion or spend
day at the shore.
Had the utterances from the pulpit at
large been as liberal and in the line of
common sense as those of the pastor of
the Fourth Unitarian church, the ques.
tion Of the opening of the Worlds fair
on Sunday would have been settled long
ago and settled right.

WHATEVER tho government may in
the future produce in the way of in
eliminating evidence against Lizzie
Borden, it Is certain that during the
first week Of the trial it did not make
ont very strong case. Indeed, unless
something more convincing than the
unsatisfactory story of Bridget Sullivan
and the contradictory testimony of
policemen is presented it will be difficult
to see how either Mr.. Moody or Mr..
Knowlton can ask for a conviction.

NAvAHOE.


The Herreshoff yacht Navahoe has
sailed away from Newport across the
ocean to try and win from the English
men some of the trophies they now hold.
Certainly the anxious good wishes of
all Rhode Island go with the boat,
which has been built on her soil by her
talented sons.
The yacht is yet an almost unknown
quantity. She has been sailed up and
down the waters of Narragansett bay,
but there has been continued change,
in her rig or her lead ballast, so that
nobody is authorized to say what she
can do or what she has done. She may
be very speedy or she may prove a
failure. Even now, as she sails for
foreign waters, she is to be relieved of
more ballast, the effect of which can
only be surmised by the layman in
yachting.
While Navahoe is relatively an un-
known quantity such is the faith of the
public in the powers and shrewdness of
the Bristol firm of builders that there is
great confidence In her future.
Bristol has shown that her yachts are
not ordinary productions, and that
what they can de is net to be estimated
by any rules or experience formulated
by what other boats have done.
Thus far Rhode Island has produced
the most remarkable yachts that have
ever been built in America. We have
faith that Navahoe will maintain the
reputation SO fairly won.

attention. But IL you are looking out for

left-handed children right-handed, and such
attempts commonly result In making the man

parents to use her right hand against her

are quite proud of their ability to do things
out of the common way, this especially
among ladies.
Left-handedncss is often inherited. know
one prominent family In the social life Of this
state where father, mother and all the chill
dren are left-handed.
Careful investigation shows that six or
seven per cent. of all children born are natur-
ally left-handed. Some think they are in
-efeasing, but think II Is so only In appear
ance, for the old prejudice against left
handedness is dying out in both tho home and
the school, and so there is every year less
effort made to disguise 1t. Moreover ambi-
dexterity is being cultivated by many, and
this is doing away with much of the odity Of
seeing the left-hand holding the knife and
the pen, or other implements once supposed
to be out of place except In the right hand.

An Engineer Disabled.

WlLKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 24-The Le-
high Valley Railroad company is slowly
gaining on the strikers, all reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Enough appli-
cants have already applied for positions to
I'LL every vacancy. The great trouble to
the company is that they cannot utilize
the labor at their command. The entire
service is demoralized, but the officials say
that it will take only a short time to bring
order out of chaos. The indications are
that it will take very long time. One re-
markable thing about the contest is that
while the company is gaining ground the
strikers are not losing any, as they still
maintain firm column.
There have been but few assertions since
the strike began, and the strikers have
been able to add not few nonunion men
to their ranks. n I. Travis, an old non
union engineer, was assaulted while on his
way home. He had just completed his run
and left his engine at the roundhouse. In
a lonely part of the road he was struck on
the arm by large stone, which disabled

Properly speaking. the "dogdays" last
from the Sd of July to Aug. IL. Dogs are
then popularity supposed to go mad. but
it is a mistaken notion, besides being I'M
true in fact. Dogs are, strange to say,
less liable to rabies then than at other
times. "Dogdays" is a translation of the
Latin dies caniculares,n the 20 days
which precede and 20 which follow the
rising of Sirius, the star, which the Ro-
mans called ''Canicula," or the little
dog" The ancients considered this star
to have an evil influence and sacrificed
a brown dog TO it in order TO appease its
rage. OF course it is known that in the
course of time Sirius will rise in midwin-
ter instead of midsummer.

Master Workman Powderly, in eNercis-

full to the Hayes faction, which claims that
Powderly is resorting to what they term
his autocratic practices. The session was
quiet one, but all hands We're neverthe-
