NUNS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A Ruling That Public Instruction
Must BE NOn-sectarian.

Albany, N. Y. Nov. 2.-Superintendent
of Public Instruction Charles p. Skinner
has decided the West Troy school case in
favor OF the appellants. The appeal was
taken by F. b. Durant ct al. from action
OF the board of education of the village
Of West Troy (now city of WatervleiD in
Leasing rooms in St. Bridget's parochiaI
school building for public school purposes;
from employing as teachers members of
the sisterhood of st. Joseph and from the
action of the board in permitting such
teachers to wear the dress or garb of
their order in public school rooms. The
appellants claimed that the public school
buildings should be increased sufficiently
to accommodate the pupils of the district
and that the sectarian character of st.
Bridgets school was so well known and
the UNCONVENTIONAL influences in tho
school were so great that they were UNI
willing to submit their children to such
influences while attending the school, and
for that reason would not allow their
children to attend the school. The re-
spoudent's reply that the leasing OF the
rooms in question at nominal sum gave
sufficient accommodations to the pupils
and saved the district many thousands of
dollars. Both parties admit the hiring of
Sisters OF st. Joseph as teachers and the
wearing OF their particular garb or dress
by such teachers.
Superintendent Skinner decides that the
action of the respondents in hiring rooms
in st. Bridget's parochial school building
in which to conduct a public school with
the right of control of the rooms during
school hours only of each day, in which
the school under direction Of the res
pondents is maintained, and consenting

school hours, and the continuance of such

templated by the statute. was without le-
gal authority on the part OF the respond
ents. He also decides that II Is the duty of
the respondents to require teachers en-
ployed by them to discontinue the use in
the public school room of the distinguish
ing dress or garb Of the religious order to
which they belong.

GERS of the Worlds Womans Christian
Temperance Union:
Headquarters of the Worlds woman's
Christian Temperance Union, The Tenn
pie, Chicago, Ill, Nov. %, 1896.
To My Comrades and to to All Who
Love and Trust Me: From the first you
have helped the hunted Armenians by
your prayers, your sympathy and your
honest, hard work. Thousands OF them
are to-day in comfort or in safety be-
cause of the intelligence and devotion with
which you have wrought for our Chris
tian brothers and sisters, and the little
children on those bleak and dangerous
hillsides, and in those valleys smitten by
outrage and murder. 1t Is a blessed fact
that patient continuance in wen doing"
is the foremost quality in a white-rib-
boner, "for we must do our first works
over again." and more also. Hereafter,
the Armenians can never feel sense OF
safety at least, not in our time. The
more forceful among them are determined
to risk all in the effort to reach free
dom, and while 1t is not for us to
strengthen this purpose on their part we
must hold ourselves in readiness TO help
the refugees who are constantly escaping
from the dominion of the Turk. Thousands
of them are pennniless to-day in Bulgaria,
Alexandria, Marslelles and all along the
border of that accursed Turkish empire,
which only the rapacity of the great pow
ers suffers to blot the map of a world
that is Frightening into peace and brother
hood.
1t is the purpose of the leaders you have
chosen and who believe that they are but
carrying forward your wishes into deeds
to establish a home for refugees at some
strategic point. possibly In Bulgaria,
which shall belong to the worlds Womans
Christian Temperance Union. and shall
testify TO the loyalty and tenderness OF
our help at a time when the heart Of the
whole world was stirred by their unutter-
able misery. IL Is true we are a temper
ance society," but in an exigency like this
one word can only measure the depth OF
our sacred obligation and that word Is
humanity. We are Christian women, and
* we should not strive to help the peo-
pie, who OF all others since the world
began, have suffered most for Christ, then
we might well strike that holy name out
Of our own.
Already we have commissioned Mrs.
Laura Ormiston Chant TO go TO Bulgaria
and report the situation. 1t Is quite like
ly that Lady Henry Somerset and her
son will soon follow for the purpose OF
establishing the refuge, which will be but
one of a line OF refugees of which Lady
Henry Somerset writes me as follows:

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. H.-This morn

jackson county Jail, and for while It
appeared as If the structure would be de-
stroyed and many of the prisoners, l6S in
number, cremated Prompt work by the
fire department prevented an awful holo-
caust, and the damage to the prison will
be only about 5000. The first intimation
the prisoners had of the fire was when
great waves Of smoke rolled through the
corridors and into their cells, and then a
panic ensued.
The male prisoners. although somewhat
terrified, were undemonstrative compar-
ed with the women on the upper tier. The
women, most of them colored, worked
themselves into a frenzy and screamed
Justify. The firemen finally quieted them
down, and within twenty minutes after
their arrival the blaze was under con-
troll and a half hour later was completely
extinguished. The criminal court room
and marshals Office were wrecked. The
fire was caused by a cigarette.

preo.ation of silver making 1t unfit for standard money is to beg the question. Since 1873 ehe great divergence in value between the two me5aas has been oa1sed by the appreciation of the value of the gold dollar In countries where silver is in use the value of silver dollar in purchasing power is just as great as it ever was, while the value of the gold dollar is twice as great.
 In this country, since 1873. the pur- chasing power of an ounce Of silver has decreased but 15 per cent, while the purchasing power of gold has in creased 62 per cent In view of this fact wifi it be seriously eontended that the one is an honest and the other a dishonest standard of value? For twenty -three years silver has been discredited in the Limited States and yet has depreciaited but 15 per cent, while gold has moved upward at the rate of three per cent per lannum. which is anything but am honest measure of value.
 1t is only natural for thoSe who profted by the appreciation in the value of gold to fight amy attempt tc aqualize matters, but what do the peo- pie think about it?
