TOOK TO THE WOODS.
A Suspicious Character Captured at Bath
After Long Chase.

Bath, July ia man, who says his
name is William Lawrence.and his home
Halifax, was arrested in Bath Friday
forenoon on the charge of extorting mon
ey and entering dwellings on Canada
Hill. To capture the man, Officers Rey-
nolds and Thistle were given long chase,
Lawrence taking to the woods on Rocky
Hill, where he was run down by Police
man Thistle. The man is about 40 years
old and we'll dressed, his clothing being
of English make. A search of him at the
police station revealed an Identification
card of the. Plant Steamship Company
and baggage check of the same line.
He claims that he is an English naval
Officer in retirement and under half pay,
and that his visit to Boston was for the
purposeiof. seeing a young woman named
Maude Jeffreys, to whom he is engaged.
He told the police thatawhile in that city
he was given Knockout drops and a
large amount of money taken from him.
1t is learned that Lawrence landed in
Bath Friday morning from the Boston
steamer and that on the steamer he at
tempted to jump from the passage into
the sea, but was prevented bysa passenger
who caught him by the coat as he was
about to leap the rail.
He appears in a somewhat deranged
state of mind and it is thought that
while in thatEcondition he has been roam
ing about. He is almost constantly ask
ing to be paid off, saying that the Eng
lish government is indebted to him in a
large sum.

Sovereigns Proposed Boycott of Bauk totes
Discussed at Washington.

Washington, July 9.-Soyereign's boy
cott has attracted a great deal of attention
here and was generally discussed as to its
effect upon the condition of the treasury,
circulation of money and payment of OBJ
legations. Secretary Carlisle said that
the boycott would not affect the Treasury
Department or its condition. National
bank notes, it was stated at the Depart
ment, were not legal tender II offered by
one individual to another, and could Be
refused without impairing the validity of
the debt. The same is true of gold and
silver certificates. In case the national
bank note should be declined by the
debtor, all the creditor would have to do
is to make it available for use would be
to present it to the treasury for rsdepp-
tion. 1t wouldssbe Immediately redeemed
| by payment to the holder of United States
| legal tender, and the note and bank of
| issue would be notified to either reooup
| the" government by returning to itsHslegal
tender note or to retire to national bank
note. In case it should elect to retire
the note, the government would be
secured by United States bonds previously
deposited by the bank. According to the
last official statement issued July /, the
national n bank notes in circulation OUT
standing aggregated S211, 1,6O0 69a, of
which S1S6, 062, 098 secured by United
States bonds deposited in the treasury.
The amount secured by lawful money
was s26, 800, 730. National bank 5.pef cent
fund in the treasury July 1S for current
redemption of national bank notes
amounted to 81, $780, 5SS.
Treasury officials have expressed the
opinion that while the general and iron
clad boycott of national bank notes by
labor unions would perhaps cause tempo
rary embarrassment, it could have no
permanent effect, as stripped of all
techn icalities it was boycott against the
government itself on the part Of a
portions of it's citizens, which was In it
self, they said, AN absurdity. 1t was
pointed out the objections that might ex-
| fst against national bank system under
the present laws could only be remedied
by the repeal or modification of those
laws and not by boycott.

CHURCH AND SCHOOL.
Public Schools Cannot Exist Under secta-
rianism

Toronto, July 19.-At a meeting of the
Rev. DR.. Smith presided. The first thirty
on the programme was an address by
Hon. H. Wade Rogers, LII D., of North
western University on Christianity and
Education. In opening he declared the
two mightiest forces in the world were
the church and school. The one made
man virtuous and the other Intelligent.
Luther,s s!, axiom, Where schools are

quoted from the proceedings of the Balti-
more council of the Roman Catholic
church to prove that that church was ab-
solutely opposed to the cutting apart of
religion and education. The Methodist
Episcopal and other churches expressed a
view that religious instruction or ex-
ercises should not be taken out of schools.
Rev. ID. N. Beach of Cambridge,
Mass, spoke on Municipal Reform, /"
showing how in 1886 Cambridge with TO-
600 people has one hundred and twenty
two saloons, and today with IS, 900 popu-
lation no saloon was there. For nine
years in succession at the December
elections the saloon element had been
stood today in the forefront of the self
governing cities Of the continent.
"What does America owe = to Public
Sch hools?" was the question asked by
Charles r. Skinner, the state superin-
tendent of New York public schoyls in
opening an address on the school system
of the United States. He said, consider
ing America as the United States and
| Canada, people of common origin, there
should be no doubt that public schools
had been great force in the advance
ment of civilization. America did not
fear the effects.of education on religious
life. Morality and religion had nothing
to lose and everything to gain by the
spread of education. The speaker declared
emphatically that schools Should be
placed beyond the control of partisan and
sectarian influences (Applause) That
did not mean the taking of religion out
of schools. 1t simply meant that public
schools should not be the means of CON
veying Baptist Presbyterian, Church of
England, or Roman Catholic doctrines.
Anything other than unsectarian eduoa-
tion was impossible in a country where
all religious sects had equal rights.
Americans did not want and would not
have sectarianism in public schools.
