NEW YORK, December 13.-A state
ment issued today by the American
Bible society concerning it's work in
foreign lands during the last year chow
shat it involved an expenditure OF

bers in Africa, Arabia and Corea. In
accomplishing this work the agents
and CORES spopdents of the sosiety en-
ployed 382 men, each working on an
average more than eight months. The
distribution of the bible is regarded as
of prime Importance iu all foreign mis-
siOnary operations, and the CO opera
tion of the American Bible society
With the M sson boards receives from

Hence the society will issue an appeal
to pastors and others, that in the spec

early in January in observance of the
annual week OF prayer, due emphasis
may be laid upon the Importance of
extending the circulation of the bible
among all nations during the closing
years of the nineteenth century, and
especially in those parts of the world
where the bible is an unknown book.

The Circle System.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 13
The executive board of the Knights
of Labor has given its official indorse-
ment to what is known as the Circle
Sy stem, founded by Henry A. Beck
myer of Newark, N. j., and has pro-
mulgated this Endorsement among its
membership. The system is designed 60
create and foster a.Odemand for
Knights of Labor labor, Knights of
Labor labels, and Knights of Labor
goods, aud to demonstrate to the out
side world that the members are pore
sincere in common obligation of mutual
assistance and more faithful to each
other in practical work, than the men,
bers of alleged rival organizations,
among which are designated the Amer
lean Federation. the Social Democracy
and the Socialistic Alliance. Under
the Circle System every Knight is ex-
pected to do sll his trading with .
fellow Knight or q tradesman friendly
10 the order, to buy only as far as psssi
BILE Knights of Labor'productiOns,to TO OBJ
tain voucher for everything he buys
showing that these conditions have
been complied with, and to mail such
vouchers once month to Beckmyer,
who is the official trades statitician OF
the order, and who will compile them
9 nd periodically publish the result.
Such record, it is declared, will de-
in q simple for the busi-
ness advantage of employing Knights
of Labor and of handling knights of
Labor goods. Tbs scheme is decidedly
new to organized labor and it's outcome
will be watched with interest.
