~ rails CHRIsTIANITYa

Christian Churches seem to be
getting farther from Christ every
year. That this is SO is borne out
by the following Telegram from
Trenton, New Jersey The congre-
CATION referred to, and the minister
who presides over the flock do not
seem "a be overcome with that meek
and lowly spirit which characterized
the life of Him who was born in q
manger:
"Miss Ray West. a member OF
the First Baptist Church and the
daughter of prominent aud
wealthy family here, walked out Of
church last night, branded 10y her
fellow members as an "habitual
liar and slanderer.' She had been
tried before the Advisory Commit
tee of the church for circulating
stories about the pastor, Rev Maui
rice Fixes, and had been found
guilty.
Although many members of the
Committee had said IN the meeting
that they believed the young wo-
mans intellect was impaired, the
Committee drafted resolutions in
tended to cut her off from the fell
lowslip of the church"
Aud yet these same people, who
would blacken the character and
blight the life of u poor girl, who is
probably irresponsible for word or
act, pose as Christian reformers and
draw the line at kaleidoscope pictures
and even at nearly all kinds Of
athletic sports.
We will wager that there is not
John L. Sullivan, u ]. J. Cor bett,
Bob Fitzsimnons, nor even a
Tom Sharkey, in that congregation
Ii there were, that poor imbecile
young woman would have had a
champion, who would have seen
that she had square deal"
These men may he "brutes," but
they are not lost to all sense Of hon
or and chivalry Bee.

A PATHETIC story now comes Of a

A PATHETIC story now comes OF a
wasted life, from Miss Phoebe Cou-
zins, spent in efforts to give suffrage
to women In her youth u popular
belle sought and admired, she had
many opportunities TO marry well;
but brushed them all aside deter
mined to devote her life to the
''cause of women" Her verdict on
life work was sad one, contrasting
failure and admitting that she work
ed in the wrong direction.
After reciting the vicisstudes of
her long experience and rare oppor-
tunities, she says:
The majority of the women pre-
fer quiet, domestic life, while man,
by nature, seeks the conflicts Of the
outer world aud thrives and grows
therein. Women in public life will
never prove satisfactory She il
naturally home keeper | would
advise all young women to marry
and become house-keepers. ~

Lesna Wins in the 25Mile Match
Bicycle Race.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 3l-Lucien Lesna
the European long-distance champion of 96,
has proved his right to pose as a champion
in ~ by defeating J. Frank Starbuck of
Philadelphia in a 25-mile match race in
Charles River park. Lesna also secured the
American paced competitive records from
to % miles inclusive lowering the majority of
records created by his old-time rival, Jimmie
Michael, on Manhattan Beach the previous
week. Lesna rode finely throughout, his
pacemakers working in unison with him,
and the entire Lesna outfit showing the best
of work as a result of long and faithful
practice work. Nothing could have been
pretticr than their pick-ups, which were
without a single flaw, a fact which gave
Lesna at different times an advantage over
his opponent. The clever Frenchman showed
that he could follow pace, just as well and
as gracefully as does Michael. for he was a.
ways close to the rear wheel of his PAGERS,
and at times it really looked as though the
two tires met Lesna showed better form
and Judgment than he has been given the
credit Of possessing. and rode his race
with his head, as we'll as with his legs.
Twice at least it really looked as though
his opponents pace cut him off too quickly
at the pole. and more than one opponent at
the press box expected to see him and his
PAGERS take q fearful tumble. 1t was
grand good race from start to finish, and
the Frenchman has the honor of not only
winning the first race in America, but also
Of capturing numerous American records.

situated in the northeastern limits OF this
town. The victim is Burton l.. HOtchkiss, "A
Young married farmer, aged 20, who was
almost instantly killed at his home by
an unknown person. who fired loaded
shotgun through an open window. There Is
no clue to the pcrpe,ratOr. II is thought the
iced was committed in revenge for some
grievance fancicd or real. as no attempt was
made al robbery. The farm on which Hotch-
kiss lived is owned 10y +. y. Hubbard OF Mid

well-st0cked game preserve, and 1t Is
surmised that Game Warden HOtchkiss in
Cured the enmty Of some poacher. The
house is situated on a lonely road, nearly
quarter Of a mile from any other residence
and afforded an excellent opportunity FOR
the murderer to escape, though every effort
will be- made to effect his capture. At the
time of the shooting Hotchkss was sitting
on a sofa PLAYING an ACCORDION, and a four
vear-old daughter was standing in front of
him. His wife was sitting at the opposite side
Of the room and w1s just putting the child to
bed. The murderer placed the gun upon the
sill Of the open pantry window, directly IN
range Of Hotchki~s, and fred. The concus-
sion cXtingushed the lamp in the room, and
when Mrs. Hotchkiss had sufficiently recov-
cred from the shock to procure another light,
she found that her husband had expired. He
uttered one groan and died almost instantly.

will be the first meeting since the Walker ep-
isode came to light.it has been generally be-
lieved that some action would he taken in re-
gard to the resignation of President An

it is inferred that nothing will be done in the
premises. Two of the more prominent trus-
tees of the university are abroad, and they
have had no opportunity to cvnsiderth the mat
ter. DIR. Andrews letter of resignation will
probably be referred to a committee. which
will be instructed to make report at another
meeting, which will not be called until all
the trustees can be in attendance This will
not be possible for several weeks.
One of the members of the corporation,
whose preseI ce is desired, is now in
Alaska, and it j. not known just when he
will return. 1t is said that the corporation
will not recede from its position. and that.
despite the efforts of the junior members of
the faculty and OF certain of the alumni, the
resignation will be accepted. 1t is said, too,
that President Andrews is suffering more
from the attentions of his friends than from
his own efforts as a friend of free coinage
