A TRICK AMENDMENT.

II ,s clearly 1he intention at Albany TO make
the bill relating to appointments IN the Ne"
York Dislrict-AttOrneys office test OF the
strength of the constitutional provision requiring
connective examinations OF candidates for the
Civil Service Of the State There has as yet
been no complete and conclusive Interpretation
Of that provision. but II Is reasonably expected
that the Reinhard bill will lead to one. We still

referred 10 as the Dstric-Attorney bill. be-

They really desire that legislation in all its proc

none should miss and which has been
brought within the reach of all by
placing seats on first floor at so cents
and all balcony seats at % cents.
1t is not merely a history of Ireland,
but embraces much of French and
American history, and is a picture of

CHURCH PEOPLE OBJECT
To Evangelist Peake's Husband Trav-
cling With Her Selling Medicine

While the actress evangelist, Mrs.
Edith L. Peake, ministers to the souls
good in Topeka, her husband moves
about among the flocks and sells a pat
ent medicine of his own manufacture,
thereby ministering to the bodies.
This discovery has caused not a little
comment among the conservative Unit
ed Presbyterians here. Mrs. Peake has
made a good impression with her work,
but the fact that her husband accom-
panies her and sells decoctions and
cure-alls has aroused the ire of some
of the good people and ere the couple
shall have left the city there promises
to be a small sized church cyclone stir
red up. The United Presby terian
church has always been known as be-
ing very particular in matters of relig-
iOuS taste. Time was when not even
a carpet nor an organ was allowed in
the sanctuary.
The news that the congregation was
being made the field for a seller of
patent medicine who accompanied the
evangelist seemed too much like a med
icine show to them, and while they did
not come out openly and denounce it,
yet they were not to be kept still and
there have been unpleasant mutterings
about it.
One of the prominent members of the
First United Presbyterian church, in
speaking of the double bill" said: L
don't think it is right. 1 think the
sooner we are shed of such people the
better. He sells a patent medicine
which he got up himself for the cure of
lung throat and nose troubles. It is
the kind you can't tell whether it helps
or hurts I think the United Presby-
terrain church the best one in the world
and 1 don't like this revival and pat
ent medicine business. He works
around among the congregation and
sells his stuff He calls himself a doc
tor"
Another member of the church said:
Mr.. Peake left me some medicine for
nose troubles and I had to take it be-
cause [ didn't want to insult him"
