PRoGREss OF AG GREAT CAUSE.

Woman is fast getting her rights. One of the latest rights that has been granted her is the right to pay alimony just like a man. This right has been given her by Judge Gibbons of the Cook county Gllinois) Circuit court. It was a divorce case where the wife is the complainant. It does not appear from the decision what the lady's ground of complaint is but it is shown that both parties are past the age of 60 and have only been married two years. The husband is poor and unable to work while the wife owns property and is fairly well to do. In these cir cumstances the solicitor for the defen- dant made an application to the court for temporary alimony and a reason able sum for solicitors fees. No pre- cedent was cited in the argument that covered the case, so the judge was obliged to decide it as of first impress sion. He consequently entered learn edly and luminously into the history of the status of woman from the Homeric age down to the present day showing how woman has been gradually eman- cipated from the thrall in which man formerly held her, until now she stands upon an absolute equality with him so far as property rights and individual freedom are concerned. She is equally liable with him for the support of their family, and if he has no property she ! must pay the bills. These principles being well settled, the judge carries them to their logical conclusion. If the husband can be obliged to pay alimony to the wife under like circumstances the wife may be compelled to pay ali mony to the husband. He says: Every reason of right, justice and morals is in favor of the proposition that the duties which the husband and wife owe to each other are reciprocal"
 We congratulate Woman on her emancipation in this matter. It will do her much good to pay alimony when ever she is ordered to do so.

 I have read in this mornings Journal,

 last days of an era when the conduct
 of a church was very simple affair.""
 and he then describes truly what this
 conduct was. But a profound change
 has come, and the old methods are no
 longer adequate to hold and inspire the
 people. No one is to blame. The peo-
 pie don't know just where they are and
 the ministers are making frantic, hys- terical and sensational efforts to hold | them," and to bolster up I will not say, a falling cause, but certainly de- cadent and losing interest I believe that the moral power of Christianity in the world is greater than it has ever been, while the churches are confront ed with problems apparently insolu- ble and congregations are drifting into

u.LSE PRETI&ION.

That is interesting and significant news that comes from Chicago con- corning the arrangements for the Dem ocratic national convention. It appears that there will be "a medical and sur gical staff in constant attendance lur- ing the sessions. Colonel Martins plan is to provide a staff of able physicians and surgeons, an ambulance, stretch CTS, appliances and remedies for instant use. To that end he has commissioned Dr. Herbert II. McAuley of Chicago as chief of staff, and will appoint seven prominent Chicago physicians as as- sistants. From among the visitors to the convention from other cities Colo nel Martin will appoint eight eminent doctors to the staff. A room is to be fitted up for the special use of this de- partment.
 This is wise provision. The Chicago convention bids fair to be pretty free fight, and there may be some broken heads and broken bones aswell as broh- en hearts. And it is certain that the crowd will be a sick crowd when they get together and realize the situation. It is to be hoped that Colonel Martin will provide barrels enough of the usual medicine for sick Democrats.

been expressed, but on the whole the actors have been dead against what in France would be almost an innovation, but which in England has long been custom with certain writers for the stage. M. Jean Riehepin eXclaims: "I think 1t is good thing that dramatists should play their own works. Take, for example, the classic authors of old.
 Were not Esehylus and Sophocles &C., tors? And Shakespeare and Moliere, did not they tread the boards? You tell me that Corneille knew nothing about the stage, That is true, but is only an exception, No; depend upon it, it is excellent for the author to be an actor" M Mounet-Sully declares that writers should be encouraged to act in their own pieces. Coquelin believes that Dumas pere would have made ap excellent comedian, that Sardou and Octave Feuillet would likewise have shown as actors, but the general con census of opinion was that each one should stick to his trade. At present we have many author-actors and many actors who write plays. An example of an actor turned author presents it. self in the person of MT. A. w. Pinero, who is undoubtedly the chief and most versatile dramatist of the day And it is pretty safe to predict that had MT.
 Pinero elected to remain on actor he would not have caused the world wide reputation which is now his and which no writer who has appeared up to date is likely to wrest from him.-The Era.

OANr ON 1 WREML.

A movement has been started to get up a grand bicycle run to the Chris tian Endeavor convention at Washing ton next month. It promises to sue ceed, and if 1t does the bicyclers will start from Newark, New Jersey. At certain points on the route they will dismount and hold prayer meetings. The run is to be made in three days,
 There is perhaps no serious objection to such a performance as this, if the right people take part in it and if it is done deoently and in order. But there Is decided objection to calling it "a bicycle run for Christ" as some of those who are engineering it call it. The chief object of the run will be to have Q good time, and those who take part in it will doubtless have good time. Christian endeavor will not be dignified or made more efficient by cant. "A bicycle run for Christi is about the worst yet, and there have been some pretty bad ones.

All sorts of women are wearing sailor hats, though it is just as true as ever it was that no woman over thirty should allow herself to get under one. But nothing will influence a woman against this alluring headgear. The plain sailor has rather a deep crown and a really wide brim. It Is made to fit well down on the head, 6M being the size often called for, while there are a good many of the next larger size sold.

England doesn't intend to be caught mapping. The preliminary return of the British army in 1895, which is pub lished sometime before the official an- nuaI return, shows larger number of men of the regular army serving with the colors than have ever been present before, and a similar state of affairs with regard to the volunteers. The av- craze effective strength of the regular army of all ranks for the whole year was 220,309, and on January 1 of the present year the general total of ail ranks at home and abroad was 222, ,194. This force was, on the date mentioned, distributed as follows: 106, 100 in the United Kingdom, 4,4O7 in Egypt 3S,644 in British colonies, and 7S, ,043 in India. The 222,194 men who were serving on January 1 last exceeded the authorized establishment of 21S, ,320 by 3,874, all branches of the service being practical ly up to or in excess of the establish ment voted by parliament There has been steady increase of the army dur ing the last twenty years from a total of all ranks of 19O015 on January l, 1877, to total of 222, ,194 at the begin ming of the present year.

How eels multiply is a mystery which naturalists have not solved, the gen. eral opinion being that even fresh-wa- ter eels will spawn only in sea water, Dr. Imhof, however inclines to a diff ferent theory. The experiment was made fourteen years ago of putting eels into three little Alpine lakes with out outlets in the Grisons in Switzer land. In two of the lakes the eels died out. but in the Cauma See they have fiourished, although no additions to the stock have been made since 1887, some of them being four and half feet long. The original eels must be nine years old at least. but as there are many young cells of both sexes in the lake, the eels must have multiplied in the lake itself The Cauma See is $500 feet above sea level, has no apparent out let, and is fed by subterranean springs, so that it seems difficult for young eels to have gotten into it by natural im- migration.
