 What nUnprOfcssionnl women do in OI out of wedlOck attracts no attention out side their immediate social circle. Whom they accept as husband or whom they de scTt concerns SO very few people that theil unions or disunions pass, for the most part, in silence. With an actress, as We have seen, the exact reverse Is true. But are actresses, notwithstanding their rcputa- tion of connubial flcklcncss, any moro de- serving of it than women in other walks of lifey
 Let us look at some of the most promi nent and best known representatives of the stage-examples are the strongest ar gumCnts-and sec if they are the sarcasms on wedlock that they arc reputcd.
 Mrs. Kendall, who Is a great favorite in this country. owed much nf her early sue cess on tho London stage to her unassail- able position as an English matrofi. De spite her wide range of characters she has always enacted admirably in private the part of Mariana in Sheridan Knowles play of The Wife, Tale of Mantua ' She has borne her iege ten children and still appears young and fresh enough to fill acccptably the sentitDental place of her pines of the romantic drama.
 Everybody remembers Parepa, the de lightful singer in English opera, one of the kindliest and most amiablc of women. She was married to Carl Rosa, the opera manager, mnde him and herself happy in the new relation and surrendered her life in the cause of domesticity. No woman has ever been better fitted to or more ap- preciative of what is best in mntrimony.
 Mrs. John HOcy, long the leading ac- tress of the old Wallack's, now the Star. continues fresh in the memory of many babitues of that historic theater. She has been q perfect helpmatc, is the mother of a numerous family and efficiently aided her late husband in dispensing lavish hos pitality at Long Branch.
 Her successor, the pretty and elegant Madeleine Henriqucs, became the wife of Louis J. Jennings while editor of the New York Times, permanently retired fruDl the stage and is yet widow and rearing her daughters in England
 Agnes Booth has been three times mar ried, has lost two husbands and the third well satisfied, Is Manager John B. Schoeffel. In addition to her other attrac- tions and gifts, she is a woman of affairs Edwin Booths two wives worshiped him, and both of them he found on the stage.
 Mrs. Barney Williams and Mrs. William J. Florence were comedicnnes when they mated and werc loyalty embodied.
 Agnes Ethel, Annie Robe, Annie Louise Cary, Mary Anderson, Edith Kingdom (Mrs. George GOuld), Clara Morris, Clara Louise Kellogg (Mrs- Carl Strakosch), Florence Gerard (Mrs. Henry F. Abbey) and scorcs that might he named are most estimablc conjugal partners, as arc hun dreds of other actresses less known. In word, arc not players, as a clnss. very much like their sex generally, be they spinsIers. wives or widows! Their profes- sion advcrtises but it does not change them LTNirs HENEI RROwNE.

 takes msn clear out of the church at the first step. and so there is no trial foI heresy. It is worth noting that Dr Clark is much the same sort of man that Hicks was-a man of austsrc mUr- als and almost ascetic life-and that the besetting sin of such men is apt to bs spiritual pride and excessive confidence in their own judgment
 Dr. Clark Is 66 years old and q native of North Carolina, was educated at the Friends school at Providence and ai Haverford college. near Philadelphia, the largest Quaker college in the world He was graduated in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, but in 1866 gave up the practice to take the chair of Greek and Latin at Earlham. He be came one of the most prominent preach CTS among the Friends in the United States and in lS76-9 travelsl abroad and studied the oriental languages. He was for a time editor of The Gospel Ex- positOr and was practically the founder Of the theological school at Earlham, oi which he has since been the head Last summer he astouished his friends md all the Quakers by asking for and re ceiving the rite of baptism at Damas- GUS, O.
 When interviewed by the elders, Dr. Clark said he had long believed that George Fox was in error on that point and felt it his duty to be baptized. TlSe elders replied that baptism by the Holy Ghost, as taught by George Fox. was the only and true way in which bless- ing could be bestowed by heaven, and that Dr. Clark had seriously offended He was given permission to renounce his conduct and to make amends by true repentance, but the professor re- fused Accordingly he was relieved oi his pulpit work and the ban placed over him until his trial.

THE BRIBERY SCANDAL
Ehret's Folly In Accepting Mon ey From the Baltimores.

Aftermath of the Greatest Baseball stru,;-
 gle on Record-Interest In the Temple
 Cup scries-Dan Brouthers' EIation ovs
 His Teams Success.
 Every devoted of the national game will regret that the championship of the N,l. tional league has ended with n Shadow cf scandal hanging over it. During the l9 tears of the existence of that organization nothing but the most absolute honesty has characterized the business affairs of thn clubs thus banded together. It has beer, the pride of the magnatcs to hold every wrongdoer either among the players of among club officials to q strict account for any net outside of straightforward con duct. The first offenders to be punished were Dcvlin, Hall, Nicols and Craver, who, during the first few years of the Leagues career, were blacklisted upon conviction of playing crooked ball'' for money, and none of whom has ever since been allowed to play in n professional game. The fate of this quartet had n good effect, and since that time the game has been above suspicion of bribery until dur ing the last fortnight the indiscretion of a few ball players has set the tongue of scandal wagging.
 When the Baltimores went to Pittsburg on Monday, Sept. II, they had five games to play with the local team of that place, including two which were postponed from a former trip. Every team has its bete noir, and the Pittsburgs occupied that re- lationship toward the Orioles, having won four of the seven games previously played by the two teams. As the Baltimores were only few games ahead of the New Yorks, it was natural that they went up against" the Pittsburgs with some misap- prehensions.
 Principal among the terrors of the Pitts burg team to the Orioles was the pitcher, Red" Ehret. So when they won the game against him by q score of to they felt very much elated. Here rises tho ugly head of the late scandal. Directly after this game Ehrct told an intimate friend that ho had been offered $500 by one of the Baltimore players to throw his game, but, of course, had refused the bribe, as his work showed. His friend then advised him to ''string' the Orioles for keeping the affair from the public. Ehret went away, and when he again saw his friend he pro- duced 0 roll of s100, which he said he had got from the officials of the Baltiuiores to keep quiet. The friend of Ehret coilflded the secret to one of his friends, who in turn had Q confldant on Pittsburg news

latter was tied for 1EOhSE w. slhuN1. the championship last year by Knecht, ''the boy player" but lost to him when the tic was played of.
 The games were played upon the grounds of the National association in Norwich. Mir. Strong and Dr. Germond were tied for first place and the champion ship when the thirteenth annual tourna- ment closed last month. Each had won seven games and lost two. They then agreed to play n series of five games at Norwich. Hundreds of people from all over the country were present, and the contest created the greatest excitement Dr. Ger mond had improved since the tournament, but so had Mir. Strong, and out of the five games he won three.

modern crematory at Gotha, Germany, more than l ,000 bodies have been reduced to ashes there. Numerous other Euro pean cities have crematories, and in Eng. land the movement has a genuine impetus given in part perhaps by necessity, but mainly by the work Modern cremation" written by Sir Henry Thompson, the re- nowned London surgeon. To the crema- tory at Woking, near London, has been added that at Manchester, and the move ment is rife throughout the United King dom. The resistance that was expected from the aristOcracy and the Established Church of England does not seem to have materialized, for the Duke of Westminster has given $l, ,OOO for the uses of the coun- cil of the Manchester Crematien society and has allowed the use of hi jhame as its president, while two priests of tho English church are members of that council, and many others have suggested a sligh6 change in the burial ritual to make it apply to the modern mode of disposing of the dead. Among other places abroad where great activity is being manifested in cremation may be mentioned Berlin, Copenhagen, Ge. neva, Hamburg, London, Milan, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, The Hague, Vienna and Zurich.
 Those Who Approve It.
 Many clergyman of prominence have pTODOunCSu III laNOr OI them Rev. R. Heber Newton, Rev. Henry c. Potter and Rev. w. $. Rainsford of New York, and others who have signified their approval of incincration are William Waldorf Astor, Dr. Felix Adler, Mrs. Lil- lie Dcvereux Blake, Andrew Carnegie, Moncure D. Conway, Mrs. J. C. Croly (Jennie June), Charles X. Dana, Kate Field, Abram .. Hewitt, Gc1gE;!l HOratiC c. King, Miss Minnie Palmer, Robert P. Porter, Edgar Saltus, James M. Varnum and Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
 A great point in favor of cremation is its chCapncss It may do away with large and costly funerals and the expense of keeping graves in order without ahating the respect due to the memory of the de- ceased. Thus it becomes a boon to per sons of limited means. It would be too rude an irruption of custom to merely invite friends to the grave to sec the body buried. In case of crcmation, with a chapel convenient, no family need ob- ject to announcing that the ceremonial at the crcmatOrium will take place at an ap- pointed hour. Cremation is not intended to do away with any of the sacred ceremo- nies attendant upon burial. It only su- pcrscdes the state of being buried, that condition which follows the ceremony and to which a majority of the people close their eyes. C.. F. MEANY.

Cremation In Italy.

As alrCaIly indicated, cremation is not new. IL lad been practiccd from time immcmOrial in many countries, and it fell into disusc from lack of forest fuel in Europe. n lack which has now been overcome by coal and its gases and a knowledge Of furnace construction. The first modern crematOry was built in Mi Ian shortly after Jacob Molcschott, the Dutch phySiulOEist and Italian senator, wrote in favor of cremation in 1851. MoIc>chott died in Rome in 1893 and was incincraued at Campo Verans. Italy, where in lSs6 the pope declared against Crt nation. stands pre- eminent as the cOun- try which has made the greatest progress in this line for about 50 of it's cities have crUmatOrics. IL seems destined neverthe- less Ia ipr Uut-trippe-I by modern America, where more than S. OUO bodies have been inCinrratod since the establishment of the first crCmatUry. More than 20 GOO mem- bcrs of cremation societies have been en-
 rolled in New York and its vicinity, and the membership of similar societies throughout the United States has been roughly estimated at about 90 900, to which additions are constantly being made. Nearly 1900 bodies have been in Cincratetl at the Fresh Pond crcmatory on Long Island, and its capacity has been enlarged SD that 24 bodies can be inciner- atCd there in a single day. Crematories have been established in Washington, Pa. {; New York, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Gin cinnati, Buffalo, Los Angeles, Detroit, Lancaster, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Troy.

a Japanese RECENT,

Fish is the chief article of diet Of
the Japanese; dried and sailed, it is,
with rice, the only food Of the lower
classes: but every one is very fond Of
fish, and there are u thousand ways Of
dressing it daintily. Craks are killed
by making them swallow q bumper of
sake, which is probably anything but
pleasant to them, but gives them a very
delicate taste. The spirit called shoyn,
which is made of the fcrmented juices
of several different kinds Of grain, and
which tastes like Liebig's extract di-
luted with brandy, seasons large fishes
admirably. but generally the Japanese
prefer to Il them raw, and they are
no altogether in the wrong. No
hors d'oeuvre can beat that obtained
from the following receipt: "Take out
the bones OF Il very fresh dorado or
sole; cut the flesh into very small
p~ieces-almOst mince it, in fact; cut
into thin slices q few fresh gherkins;
put in a pickle-dish a series of layers
of chopped fish and gherkins; add salt
and pepper to each layer; sprinkle
owe the whole a little vinegar and the
juice OF a lemon; let the dish stand for
% few hourse before serving" Try
this receipt and you will see.-From
