 GYPTJYZED HR ClsH-E1SV

Jim Cash-Cash is. as might be infer red from his name, a rich man. He is also influential, as rich men usually are. He is civilized, as rich men sometimes
 are, and he is an Indian-a Umatilla
 Indian. Being rich, influential and civ ilized, MT. Cash-Cash naturally wants wife that will accord with him. He all ready has 8 wife, but she is not just what he thinks he ought to have. She was perhaps well enough before MT. Cash-Cash became rich, influential and civilized, but she is not the girl for him
 now So he is suing for divorce from her, and the ground on which he bases his suit indicates that he is civilized up
 pale-faces in civilization. He asks for
 a cutoff because his wife paints her face. As he alleges in his complaint, she hideously and srotesquely paints
 her face, thereby disgracing and humil- iating him in the eyes of his family.
 We shall watch the progress of this suit with deep interest. This very civ ilized Indian has reached such a height
 oe culture and taste that he feels that a wife who paints her face treats him with intolerable cruelty. He may not succeed in convincing the Oregon court l to which his suit is brought that he is so treated. If he does he will establish
 a precedent which may in time be use- ful to pale-faces who become as highly 1 civilized as MT. Cash-Cash is But if his action puts all women who paint
 their faces in danger of divorce there will be more uneasiness about matri- mony than there is now.

| REIE NEED.

At the next meeting of the Mems Sum- day Evening Club of the United church the subject for discussion will be "The Need in New Haven of a General Hos pital for Contagious Diseases" It is to be hoped that this discussion will begin an agitation that will not end action. There is no doubt about the
 need. It is plain and pressing all the time, and has been especially 50 dur
 ing the last two or three months. New
 Haven is large enough and has enough
 contagious and infectious diseases to demand a general hospital for their thorough and safe treatment. The Court Of Common Council has very properly refused to allow anybody to build and maintain private pest-house within the city limits. Having done it's duty in this matter it and all con-
 cerned should now do their duty in the matter of a, general hospital which will supply all that was asked for by
 Yale and all that Is or may be needed by the rest of the folks. There are al
 together too many private pest-houses
 in New Haven which are not recognized
 by law and which are not even known to be such by those who are exposed to danger from them. There should be
 general hospital fully equipped and con- ducted by those who would deserve and
 have the confidence of the people.
 Then there would be no need of either legal or illegal private pest-houses and
 the people who live here would be safer
 and easier in their minds than they are now

tleman of New York who is couspicu- ously identified with the syndicate, and who Is said to have served plain notice on the President that his approval of
 the bond bill would be regarded as a breach of faith and an act of hostility by the association of bankers through which the former bond issues were sold. This blunt announcement was accom- panied 1t is said, by a broad hint that if the bond bill passed and received the Presidents signature the syndicate would consider itself absolVed from all obligations to protect the treasury, and that the gold reserve would have to look out for itself, Therefore, the story runs, MT, Cleveland, rather than antagonize his syndicate friends, de- elared against the bond bill, and be- gan preparations for another bond is- sue.
 Wall street which very often gets things straight, fully believes that the country is to be "saved" again by the bond syndicate at fair commission, If 1t is there will be a howl, even if
 the howl is not a thoroughly justifable one. Until we know just what is to be done we can profitably contemplate
 the chief achievements of Democratic government, which are a tariff for de felt, a big increase of the national debt and a prolonged financial crisis"

 l have told you what the situation is, and I have told you what it is In all good faith.
 Even the democratic papers, at least
 the honest ones, are beginning to admit that things are not as they have been painted
 In a recent issue the New York Jour- nal of Commerce, a paper or the hlSh-
 est standing, that has been attempting,
 with other democratic papers, to ere ate a boom, admits that; "Manufac-
 turers are getting fewer orders than they did some weeks ago. The demand for woolens is not large. The demand
 for boots and shoes continues light" What does 1t mean when the mass of
 the people cannot buy woolens and boots and shoes?
 But let us turn to another great ba- rometer, the national bank report. What does that say? As you know, when loans and dis When they are comparatively light and deposits are very heavy, it shows that business is poor, and that men are not putting out their capital in enterprise. | The last bank report shows that there is not difference of 1 per cent, l in the amount of loans and discounts, l to what they were year ago. There are, however, many hopeful signs that we have started out again on the road to prosperity, but hopeful signs are not the same as prosperity it. self, and that is the point I want to make.

gown of green velvet or velvet weave is very stunning, and will do charmingly for the street with chinchilla vest put q velvet soft cap. A vest of white sat in thiekly jeweled with green with q pair of corresponding cuffs makes the gown quite another thing, and 9 green cloth vest braided in gold gives another character to the rig. Such dress will adapt itself to a great many uses. It is even possible to bare a little bit of throat by letting the vest be a loose panel of chiffon. A httle turnover col lar should finish the back at the neck, and the front can be cut down low. Still another effect Is possible by sup plying the inserted vest with lapels that shall turn back over the edges of the velvet in front
 The vest of the costume that the ar tist displays here did not have like pos abilities of interchanging, but was of Persian lamb extending into the spreading wired collar. The cuffs into which the wide sleeves were gathered were of cloth in the original. but they might tastefully be of fur if desired. The dress material was dark green suiting, the jacket bodice having rip pie basque faced with green silk, and showing a tiny pocket at each side. Accompanying this there was a hand some green velvet hat, trimmed with ostrich plumes, an upright wing, satin ribbon and white lace rosettes.

THOSE BONDS.

There is more talk about the bond business, and some of it is not at all complimentary to the President. Il $ not surprising that it is not. Awhile ago it was generally understood that the President was in favor of popular loan. The bill passed by the house was framed to meet, if possible, his wishes
 Congress gave up it's holiday vacation at his request and the house passed a bill which has met very general ap- proval, and which seems to meet tho emergency. But suddenly Secretary Carlisle announces that the bill is not acceptable to the administration It is intimated that the Presidents attitude was changed almost immediately after a visit which ne received from 2 gen.

It is reported that a newspaper in
 the Japanese language has been estab- lished at Yokohama under English management The aim of this journal, which is very cheap, is to familiaIize
 the people of Japan with British mer- chandise. It appears that Germany has convinced herself of the wisdom of the
 enterprise, for that government lately instructed the German legation and the
 various consulates to consider and "e- port upon the best plan for similar
 undertaking on German lines, It is now stated that the issue of a, German newspaper has been definitely decided upon. It will be edited at the Academy
 of Oriental Languages in Berlin, print ed in Germany, and forwarded to Japan for distribution among the inhabitants l free of charge. It is supposed that the advertisements inserted toy German firms will suffice to cover the expenses of publication. The principal object of the publication will be to do away with the intervention of the middleman and | introduce system of direct intercourse
 between the manufacturer and the con- sumer Much curiosity is manifested with regard to the ultimate success of the scheme.

He wants the legislature to pass a bill which pro- vides that the heirs of the victim of a mob shall be paid damages from the treasury Of the county where the crime occurs, that the sheriff and his Jdepu- ties shall be held liable for failure to protect their prisoner, and that all per- sons who have taken part in a lynch ing shall be disfranchised.

DIR. WArsoN,s "NEw CREED"

The Rev. John Watson Gan McLaren),
just before embarking for Liverpool last
week. was presented with an address by
Thomas +. Seward. secretary Of the
brotherhood Of Christian Unity. Oh behalf
of the brotherhood. Among other things
the address said:
The greatest iced of the world is
league OF moral and spiritual forces IN
combat with evil and unspirituai forces.
BY the touch OF your genius and the
qualities OF your mind and heart you are
doing a work OF Unspeakable value IN
awakening and uniting the deepest SYM
pathies oe our common human nature.
TO this great blessing you have added
another ly formulating creed OF Chris
tian life which cmbcGies the spirit and
essence OF Christs teachings. The change
of emphasis from doctrine to life eN-
presses a demand or the age and Will
give a new spirit and form IL Christian
civilization. We accept your life creed,
not as substitute for the historic creeds.
but rs an Interpretation. OF them.
This is the creed which DR. Watson
has formulated:
l believe in the Fatherhood OF God.
i'm a clean heart l believe in the service
OF love. / believe in the unworldly life.
believe in the Beatitudes. l promise to
trust God and follow Christ, TO forgive
my enemies. and to seek after the right
cousness of God.
Mr.. Seward sent this creed TO many
wen-known persons in various parts OF
the country. coupled with these queries:
Would IL be an aid 10 the cause OF
Christianity to have a common ethical
creed i'm addition 10 the denOmnauonal
confessions OF faith?
II so, Is IL wise TO accept the above
ethical creed OF DR.. Watson. and en-
deavor TO bring II to the attention OF the
Christian public OF America?
MIR. Seward. in his report on the re-
sponses received. said that the large ma
jority OF them favored the "life creed"
Those Directing TO it were ultra church
men" who feared that the formula would
be accepted as a substitute for the his
toric creeds and ultra evangelicais''
because IT omits the orthodox doctrines
This is a good creed. but it is highly
improbable that the various denomina-
lions will be willing to adopt it, not mere
~ because II may omit essential dog
mas of their faith, but for the simple
reason that II would be sort OF taclt
confession that the principles formulated
by Or. Watson are not already embodied
In their several creeds, and such Is not
the fact. for there is not a Christian
church In the world that does not insist
upon the observance Of this old creed.
which is new only in arrangement.
The more probable result will be the
attempt to organize new denomination
upon the basis OF Or. Watsons creed.
This Is to be deplored. There are quite
enough denominations already. and the
cause OF religion will be weakened
rather than strengthened by a further
division of the forces.
