which he considered immoral and unfit to be read by good people. He may claim that he felt bound to take the matter to the Lord in public prayer because 1t was a matter that directly affected the public morals. and the Lords help was needed.
 Brother Campbell was certainly 1t tie free with Sister Kelso's name and fame. but if the court says he was slanderous he will be surprised. Many ministers of the gospel are quite as free with names and flames as he was and they feel justified in their freedom be- cause they are doing the Lord's work. The writer was once at a religious meeting presided over by a hot gos- peller. After he had preached and prayed himself out he asked those who wanted to be saved to rise. Many rose. About twenty did not. The dis appointed and mortified preacher turned upon those that did not rise and said: Here are a score of souls who are lost. They have decided to go 10 hell instead of to heaven. They are not worthy 10 be in the Lords house." He was not sued for islander. and some of those who didn't want to be bossed by him actual ly wondered If they had not committed the unpardonable sin by refusing to do as he told them to do. And yet he would have found 1t hard to prove his defamatory statements in court.

DID HE SLANDER HERo

Miss Tessa L. Kelso is a young woman of spirit. She is also libra rian of the public library of Los An geles, California. Being a librarian she naturally thinks she knows something about books, and being a young woman of spirit she is not to be easily driven out of what she thinks she knows. She has advised the buying of certain books for the library. The titles of the books are not given, but we shouldn't be surprised if "Trilby" were among them. Her advice has raised bigger row than Los Angeles has been blessed with for a long time. The whole town is disturbed and divided by it, and some have gone so far as to say that a young woman who would advise the buying of such books as Miss Kelso has recom- mended is no better than she should be. One of those who have so said is the Rev. J. w. Campbell. He said it in rather roundabout way. He told it to the Lord in public prayer as follows 70, Lord, vouchsafe thy saving grace to the librarian of the Los Angeles city library, and cleanse her from all sin, and make her worthy of her office" This prayer is thought to be slanderous by Miss Kelso and some of her friends, and she has sued Brother Campbell for $5,0O0 damages for defamation of her character in public.
 It will be decidedly interesting to watch the progress and the outcome of this suit. The prayer appears to be rather personal but 1t is very guarded. It will probably not be claimed that Sister Kelso does not need saving grace or that she does not need to be cleansed from all sin. Everybody needs such grace and such cleansing, though some might not like to have their need pub- lic1y stated, even in prayer for them, Sister Kelso probably objects to being separately named as a sinner. But what hurts her most is the hint to the Lord, and also to the people of Los Angeles, that she is not worthy to be the librarian of the public library of the town. She knows she is. We suppose that Brother Campbell will say in his he prayed for Sister Kelso that she needed saving grace and cleansing and that he had some doubt about her worthiness to be librarian because she had advised the buying of certain books

 Very few sleeves have puffs that rise above the shoulder or that even stand out straight from it. They all droop now. The latest sleeve is fitted smooth ly over the round of the shoulder, the armhole coming very low, and from here the sleeve swells into a soft, droop- ing puff, that is often of white chiffon or muslin, no matter what is the ma terial or color of the rest of the gown.

A Trio of stylish One..

Pale blue satin Is put up In combina- tion with lavender chiffon and knots of violets in one of the most charming re- ception gowns, and 1t is only one bit of evidence of blues present vogue. A stylish use of 1t is shown in the visiting dress worn by the central figure of the three in this picture. Here peacock blue silk is combined with black velvet and white chiffon. The underskirt is cov- cred half way up with silk and is edged with black feather galoon. The over skirt is open at the left side and turns back to form large velvet revers held together at the centre by a bow. Black velvet gives the jacket bodice, which is made with Medici collar and orna- mented with four fancy buttons. The vest is pleated white chiffon and the sleeves are of the silk.
 In the background at the right there is shown a carriage dress of gray cloth, with a gray velvet bodice and short vel

The metropolitan police bill which has passed the South Carolina legislature is called "TGlman's force bill" by those who fought it on the floor. One of its opponents, Senator Watson, who had been previously known as an aggres- sive Tillmanite, said in the course of de- bate on the bill: More than a hun dred years ago our forefathers took up arms and fought, when they did not have the provocation these people will have if we force these police on them. We ceded from the Union when we did not have so great a grievance" The measure empowers the governor, if he is not satisfied with the efforts of city authorities to enforce the dispensary law. to seize and reorganize the muni-

TAXATION.

There are signs that the furious de- mand for the extra taxation of street railroads may lead to a demand for the extra taxation of some other property that is already taxed and for the taxa tion of some property that isn't taxed at all. It is plainly true that other companies that use the streets-the Gas, Water, Electric Light, Telephone and Telegraph companies-should be taxed for such use if the street rail- roads are to be. It appears to have been entirely forgotten that any use of the streets is made by anybody or any thing but the street railroads. This shows how completely one idea may take possession of even such well reg ulated minds as abound in New Haven. The correspondent of the Register who last evening forcibly pointed out some of the inequalities of the present rag ing discussion did needed work, al- though those whose wind-bagS he so thoroughly punctured will not relish it. Extra taxation is popular with those who don't have to pay it, and the eX- emption of church and college property from taxation is much appreciated by those who profit by it. By the way, we notice that no farther away from New Haven than Meriden there is a and college property. Perhaps it will spread to New Haven and do something to mitigate the tierceness and the one sidedness of the movement for the extra taxation of street railroads.

A curious little book of two hundred pages has been published in Paris to prove that there are only thirty-six dramatic situations. The author, M. Polti, quotes the saying of Goethe that Gozzi maintained that there could only be tIhirty-six tragic situations Schiller took lot of trouble to find more, but he did not even discover as many as Gozzi. He proves Gozzi's proposition, and then declares that there are really only thirty-six emotions in life, but these are capable of 1882 subdivisions covering the entire range of love, hatred, jealousy, the affections, the passions, the sentiments and all.

It is an interesting fact, says the Independent, that the wife of Field Marshal Count Oyama, Japanese Sec retary of War and Commander of the Second army in China, is that lovely and Christian lady known in her girl hood in New Haven. where she was a member of the family of the late Dr. Leonard Bacon, and at Vassar college, where she was president of her class as Miss Stenats Yamakawa. We can testify from our own remembrance of her that she was an extremely lovely girl, and she came from very high court circles in Japan. It was through her introduction that Miss Alice w. Bacon was received into, these highest circles and was enabled to write that charming volume which gave us clearer views of the higher circle of Japanese life than perhaps we had been admitted to before"

printers, bookbinders, and all other skilled
mechanics in government employ wages at
the same ratio that have been granted to
pressmen, as provided by the printing bill
