Apples for the Poor,

Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist,
came to Boston from Northfeld re-
Gently and delivered an address in
fremont Temple. Mr.. Moody told his
congregation that in riding down
through the country he saw bushels of
apples lying on the ground rotting He
said thntall through Massachusetts the
crop of apples is SO large that the
farmers do not know what to do with
it. SO Mr.. Moody suggested that the
people of Boston raise fund to be
sent out into the country to gather
these apples and pay the freight on
them to the city, where they might be
distributed among the poor. The
suggestion fell upon the ears of city
missionary Waldron, and he has
issued an appeal for money. SO the
poor of Boston stand good chance
of having all the apples they want free.

Popularity of Public Baths.

Now that the season at the free pub
lie baths has closed, study of the
figures kept at the different places is
interesting, from the fact that consid-
erably more than three-quarters of Il
million buthers visited them during the
summer months The different houses
were opened to the public in June, and
in that month the attendance was only
moderate. By about the 1st of July it
began to increase, aud steady gain
IN visitors was noticed until the COM
ing of the cool days in September,
when the number gradually dimin-
ished. The men and boys who used
the baths in June numbered 81, SIT,
in July 24O, 575, in August 24l, 144.
OF women and girls there ~were in
June 20, 952, in July &C, $40, in August
50, 941. These figures added to those
of September records make 612, 741 as
the number of men and 191, 4S5 wom-
en-, u total of 804, 226 persons persons
during the four months,us against
766, 825 bathers in the corresponding

PRIMATE is DEAD.
Head of English Church, Archbishop
of Canterbury, Taken Suddenly.

LONDON, England, Oct. 13--The arch
bishop of Canterbury, primate of all Eng
land and metropolitan, the right honorable
and most reverend Edward White Benson,
D. D., and privy councillor, died suddenly
while attending divine services in the church
at Hawarden.
The archbishop was the guest of Mr..
Gladstone, through whom he was appointed
to the archbishopric of Canterbury, and, in
company with the Gladstone family, went to
the Hawarden church.
After the service had begun a :commotion
was noticed in the Gladstone pew. and i'm
mediately afterward church attendants were
seen removing the archbishop, who, it was
supposed, was suffering from fit. He was
taken to the rectory and medical assistance
hastily summoned. The doctors worked over
him in vain, and at 11.45 O'Clock he breathed
his last. The physicians state that death
was probably caused by heart trouble. 1t
was known that his heart was weak.

Use More Care.

Chief justice Mason of the superior
court, sitting in the divorce session,
threw the members OF the bar who ap-
peared before him into some excite
ment by his rulings. A long list of
uncontested cases was ready for trial,
and the attorneys hai prepared to
rush the cases through and break ''the
bonds that tie" in short notice.. JUS
tice Mason destroyed several of these
illusions, however, in short order, by
refusing to even hear several Of the
cases brought before him until what
he called satisfactory proof of service
should be shown him. AS case after
case was called up, and the attorneys
were turned down and their cases
placed at the foot of the list, it APP
peared that they had struck rock.
In one OF two of the cases justice
Mason delivered himself rather strong
ly on what he believed proper notice.
He said: "No mal should be divorced
without being given proper chance
to know something about it. | don't
care how much vrong-doing he may
be guilty of it seems to me that the
marriage ties are too solemn and this
action of divorce too important to be
dealt with careleSsly in any detail I
think that every effort should be made
to reach the libelee in the case. No
perfunctory steps should be taken of
simply writing a letter to man with
the chances that he may never get
it. / don't wish to hear this case
until I am satisfied that proper steps
have been taken to notify an inter-
ested party that the action has been
begun.

The readers of the New York Sun
day World were asked recently to send
in their idea of the most significant
word in the English language. The
choice of the greatest number fell
upon Life, which is probably the word
of deepest meaning to the great
majority of people. The word that
ranked second was Love, while God
and Money each received the same
number of votes for third place.

hourished and increased, and now
seem quite at home in the district be-

ARSENAL CONTRACTS.
Reported That the Emperor of
China Will Farm Them Out.


NEW YORK, Oct. 13-It is said to cost
the emperor of China in the neighborhood
OF $4,000, 600 a year to run the nine
arsenals and one shipyard, which supply
the government with cruisers and gun
boats, and the arms and munitions of
war. He has grown tired of these ex-
pensive establishments, and has dispatched
agents to Singapore, San Francisco, and
this city with instructions to negotiate for
the farming out of these industries to
Chinese capitalists, resident in the cities or
neighborhoods above named.
Yen Men, one of these agents, was In this
city last week, and will shortly return to
San Francisco, where he expects to place
most of the stock of the company which will
be speedily organized, not only to supply
the Chinese emperor with arms ammunition
and warships, but also to assume the con-
troll and management of the arsenals them
selves. Subscriptions to the stock of the
company are to be limited to Cinnamon, as
it is not thought desirable to grant any such
concessions to foreigners.
