The next question of importance 10 be
considered f.. what part boys can have
in the worship Of the church. They can
help in the singing. and some c0ngre-
cations are very much in need Of as
sistance in that direction. In churches
where there are boys chapters. the boys
usually assist in leading the singing with
out compensation. They can also be help
ful by simply sitting in their peVs in
quiet and attentive manner. Each boy
ought 10 have his prayer hook and hym-
nal. and should kneel al prayer and stand
I'D whenever the form Of the service re-
ouires H. Very often IL Is hard for boys
20 sit still and keep quiet during the
services. but when they see members OF
the chapter behave themselves IN that
manner. IL viii be great help 70 them.
The boys can also JOin IN the study OF
the church. II IL a good thing 70 know

come better members OF the church, and

Views on Various Matters.

The American Am bnSSador Expresses
Views on Various Matters.
PARIS, July S.-The Figaro publishes an
interview today with the United States
ambassador to France, Mr.. James B. Eus-
tbs, in which he Is reported as saying that
nothing has yet been decided as to his can
didacy for the nomination for the prcs-
dency of the United States.
Respecting the Japanese-Chinese war Mr..
Eusts is quoted as remarking that he re-
gretted that the Japanese had not taken
Pekin. The story of a secret treaty, he
was absolutely untrue.
I'VE have no treaty with Japan" he con-
tinued. "other than an arrangement modi-
flying former treaties, and this does not
come into force for five years Besides,
the United States adheres before every
thing to the principle of non-intervention
In European or Asiatic affairs"
With reference to the movement in Can
ada to separate the Dominion from Great
Britain, Mr.. Eustis said it rested entirely
with the United States whether Canada
should or should not be taken into the con-
fede ration of states. But the people of
the United States preferred to let the ques-
ton rest while at the same time saying
to Great Britain, No nonsense, or we will
annex Canada
Regarding the insurrection In Cuba, Mr..
Eusts is reported as having admitted that
American sympathies favored the insur-
gents, who found in the United States, un-
known to the government of that country,
assistance of all kinds.
In conclusion, Mr. Eusts is quoted as
saying, "If the insurgents can maintain
the struggle for year l am not sure that
Spain VIII not have futilely spent her
money on costly expeditions"

JOHN SHEA'S RELEASE.
His Wife Asks That He May Be Allow
ed to Sec His Son.

The Shea case was talked of about the
Police Court today because Mrs. Shea call
ed and asked for permission to have her
husband released from the work house IN
OF der tha. he might once more see his son
John, who was named after him, before he
dies.
Mrs Shea saw Judge Miller and Prose-
cutting Attorney Pugh, and to them she re-
lated sad story of her sons sufferings
and of his desire to see his father once
more before death overtakes him. The
father has also been sick. The work house
is situated so near the swamp land of the
Eastern bI anch that he had suffered an at
tack of malaria, and has been confined to
bis bed.
According to Mrs. Shea's story to the
court and prosecuting attorney, her pres
ent situation is an exceedingly sad one.
With her husband locked up and her dying
son calling for him and Unable to see him,
she has had trodbie in the last few days
which may result in her falling in health,
and her appearance is no longer that of the
strong, robust woman she was year ago.
Her son has been ill for some time, and
for three days he has been unconscious,
and this morning, when he regained con-
sciousness. he called for his father, but the
latter was not here to see him.
John Shea was sentenced to the work
house in October last to serve four months
on the farm, and six months additional in
default of payment of a $500 fine. His sem
tence VIII expire InurSdaN, nlty Gays De-
ing taken off for good behavior.
Both Judge Miller and Mr.. Pugh listened
to Mrs. Shea's statements, but they were
powerless to act, as the case had long
since been out of the jurisdiction of the
court; hut they would readily have con-
sented had 1t been in their power to have
done So And they told Mrs. Shea that
they had no objections 20 1ntendent Stout
enburg allowing her husband to so home,
under guard, to see the dying boy.
Since the incarceration of John Shea a
great change has taken place on Maryland
avenue and about Louise alley, and when
he returns he will scarcely recognize the
place. The principal change is the estab-
lishment of a Christian mission in one of
the Shea houses, and in this mission John
may see his wife taking part in the serv-
ices.
Mrs. Shea left the Police Court to see
Intendent Stoutenburg, and it Is thought
likely that John Shea will be permitted to
return home long enough to see his son be-
fore he dies.
