Skirts are to be made with the width OF

ing. There certainly will be a revival

silk is offered which is woven so richly
and heavily that IL has all the softness
of wool and so dull lustre that the
usual objections against silk for street
wear are met. These materials are so
thick that they are firm without crisp
ness, and are employed for sleeves aud
deep Daneling effects with smooth wool

opened up for business to-day there was
wild rush to sell the shares of the Amer

matter was slightly mixed in the House II
was very clear that the Sugar Trust had
nothing TO hope foe in the present temper
of the National law makers and the
problem OF no bounty ana free
refined sugars stared the holders of
sugar stocks square in the face. In
the late dealings a rally of / per cent took
place and a final reaction of a. the loss of

Sugar and many of the combatauts are
feeling sore in spots. The railway list and
some of the miscellaneous shares actually

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

Barrels of ink and carloads of hard
words are being spent over the school
book question. Some are fighting the
Book Trust, whatever that is, some are
kicking the American Book Co., and
others are just kicking without any ap-
parent reason. We cheerfully admit
that we do not know anything at all
concerning the situation. Our present
school books may be good, bad or in
different as far as we know, and we be-
ieve that most of the newspapers that
are attacking the Book Trusts are as
poorly informed as we are. If the school
teachers, those who use the books, whose
business it is to use them and whose oc-
cupation qualities them to express an
opinion on the subject, would take part
in the general discussion some knowl-
edge of the situation might be gained.
The CHRONICLE will gladly give space to
any of our teachers who care to express
an opinion on the subject. Not only
will we give space, but we urge that
those who are qualified to know give the
public the benefit OF their knowledge.
The book question has been stirred up
until everybody is interested, and here is
a chance for those who teach the young
idea how to shoot to also give the older
folks lesson in the art.

SrToKLERs FOR RELIGION.

The absence of John E. Overton about
whom the newspapers of Portland were
worrying considerably recently is now
satisfactorily explained. As is usual in
such affairs there was a woman in the
case. Miss Annie Engles has brought
suit against John E. for promising to
marry her, and deliberately trifing
with her affections. 1t seems though
that differences of religious beliefs, she
being Catholic and he not much of
anything. but an ardent A. P. A, was
what caused all the trouble. All the
marriage lacked of consummation any
way was the license and the ceremony,
yet in spite of this state of affairs the
religious opinions of the lady were
so strong that she refused to become
Mrs. Overton unless the ceremony was
performed by priest. Overton, on the
other hand, was willing to fulfill his
promise to marry his girl, but thought a
civil marriage by the genuine American
justice of the peace was about the right
thing. They could not agree, neither
would yield, and as Overton was liable
to criminal prosecution he abandoned
his home and fed.
It strikes US under the circumstances,
that the lady in the case 1s greater
stlckler for her religion than she is for
the rights of her child, or the feelings of
her lover, while John, having no re-
ligion, can offer no reasonable excuse for
refusing the services of the priest.
