lally that another was the Rev. Charles

Theological seminary. 1t seems that the

was chargCable with srch completely, for,
under the circumstances, the renewal of
the license Of the Princeton Inns tap
room seems To have been impossible with
out his signature. Accordingly, after long
and bitter discussion among the PrOhibi-
tlonlsts, the course of DIR. Shields in the
matter was brought before the New
brunswick Prcshytcry, but on Thursday
he forcstallcd its decision by sending TO
it letter Withdrawing frora the Pres

ats ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and an
nOuncing his intention to "anter some
other portion Of the visible catholic

Withdraw his "complicity," preferring
rather to withdraw from the church

IhaI Is, a venerable professor in the
foremost American divinity school of
Presbyterianism leaves his church rather
than submit to its interference with his
personal freedom of opinion and con-
duct touching a matter outside of the
realm OF religious faitn and theology.
Dr. Shields leaves the church to which
he had given allegiance through a long
life, and in whicn he has been a foremost
teacher OF theological doctrines because
II undertakes to dictate to him when lac
feels entitled to exercise his uTivate
judgment freely. The New Brunswick
Presbytery is not censurable i'm the prem
ise, since II merely regarded a deliver

byterian church The incident Is remark
able however as showing how light have
become the bonds of church allegiance.

 The senate had the first fight of the session on it's hands when Senator Brown of the Tenth district introduced resolution which prohibited the joint standing committees from hiring stem ographers. He was opposed by Sena- tors Warner, Converse and Marigold. | the practice of hiring stenographers had grown to such an extent that the money paid out every year was start ling. The present condition of the states finances necessitated the strict est economy. He did not think the committees, except the judiciary, should have @ stenographer.
 Tn the session of 1895 the bill for such work amounted to $5000. MT. Brown said that his committee, corporations, did not need any stenographer.
 Senator Warner opposed the resolu- ton on the ground that it was false economy.

The New Masonic Temple.

The project of the local Masons to replace
their present temple with a new and larger
building. which was tentatively preached
last spring, has now been placed upon a
definite basis and active work toward the
erection of the structure may soon be ex-
pected. The men composing this organi-
cation at the capital are known for their
energy and business enterprise and results
soon flow from their eadeavors. The new
building proposition should receive hearty
support. for 1t will add greatly to the archi-
tectural beauty of the city and will mark
another stage in the progressive improve
ment of the District. The present temple
was fine type of the public and semi
public buildings of the day of it's construc-
ton ard its successor may be expected to
represent in the same degree the best there
Is available in the way of designs and
methods. The Masons of the District of
Columbia are noted throughout the coun-
try for their zeal in their own order, for
for their loyalty to their community. This
combination should produce results of
which not only every member of the order
but every true Washingtonian will have
reason to be proud.

often wide differences in weight will be
found among members of the opposing
elevens and this difference Is in many
cases the cause of shocking accidents.
1t is of course no excuse in behalf of
the prize fighters to allege that football
is worse than pugilism or that it is dis
guised form of that sport The verdict of
respectable communities generally is
against the legalizing OF the deliberate
battling of man against man and should
remain unchanged without regard to yhe
up-growth of other demoralizing institu-
tons. Nor is the position of the Georgia
legislator who now seeks to draw the
circle of the laws protection around the
fistic arena at all tenable. He is merely
repeating in effect the old argument of
the boys: You're another The Georgia
legislature will fail of its full duty to the
state and to the people of other states If
1t does not find some more reasonable
remedy for the brutality of football than
the prohibition of the game, and IL it
gives the least encouragement TO the prize
fighting bill. Let the game be reformed
by other and more practical means and
let Ne, ada enjoy the privilege of monop-
ely of the big fights. Public opinion is
gathering force against football and 1t
has already condemned the prize ring

Nor should it be forgotten that the in

engaged in the production of wealth, are
not only engaged in the production of utili-
ties and satisfactions to which the produc-
ton of wealth is only means, but by ac-
quirfng and diffusing knowledge, stimulat-
ing mental powers and elevating the moral
sense, may greatly increase the ability to
produce wealth. For man does not live
by bread alone. He is not an engine, in
which so much fuel gives so much power
On capstan bar or a topsail halyard a
good song tells like muscle. and a "Marseil-
laise" or a Battle Hymn of the Republic
counts for bayonets. A hearty laugh, a
noble thought, a perception of harmony,
may add to the power of dealing even with
material things.
He who by any exertion of mind or body
adds to the aggregate of enjoyable wealth,
increases the sum of human knowledge or
gives to human life higher elevation or
greater fullness-he is In the large meaning
