SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The highest church (not cathedral)
steeple in this country is that of st.
Walburg's, Preston, which is 303 feet
in altitude.
AS MANY as &c, 900 people have been
accommodated in st. Pauls cathedral,
but that has been with temporary gall
leries, ETC., erected. On festivals only
between 5000 and 1000 people find
seats AT an ordinary service about
1000 people will make the cathedral
look quite full.
The average attendance at places
of worship in England and Wales is
computed to be between 100000 and
II, 900, 900 persons. There is place of
worship for every 500 individuals, TAX
ing the country all through, and a
stated minister for every 700. About
$4,000 sermons are preached every SUM-
day.
The only spot in the world where
women are paid the same salary as men
for identical work in the state schools
is Wyoming, where they have had the
vote for nearly 30 years, and an agita-
ton for the same equalization of pay
is now presenting hopeful activity in
New Zealand. where also women vote
for members of parliament.

CHINA. Famous. Criminal.

KAng, whose many crimes in China
have kept parts of that country in ter
TOR for years, has at last paid the pen.
atty of his misdeeds. Mail advices
brought by the steamer Rio Janeiro the
other day say that, emboldened by his
long immunity from capture, K'Ang laid
siege to the heart of the daughter Of
q high Manchu official of the imperial
court, whom he succeeded in inducing
to elope with him early in january
There was great connection following
the fight of the couple, and the Pc
king police besti1red themselves so en-.
ergetically that he was captured late in
the month. K'Ang was taken to Pc
king, where he was tried before spe-
cial tribunal, and although cruel tor.
lures, such as kneeling on heated iron
chains, being pricked with red-hot
needles, ETC., were inflicted to make him
confess to 30 robberies, with murder in
each case, of which he was accused
he would divulge nothing. Neverthe-
less, he was condemned to suffer death
by the slicing process. On the day he
was led to die K'Ang sang songs all the
way to the execution ground, and kept
singing even after several cuts had been
inflicted. A stab with a dagger in the
region of the heart then silenced the
desperado's voice, and the rest of the
slicing and the final severance of the
head from the body were carried out in
silence.-San Francisco Cor. New York

ity.
He was born in VermiGon county, at
the town of Rossville, and he is one Of
the thorough law scholars that are
turned out by the University of Michi-
gan. He went to Danville III 1882 and
hung his single in the face of sharp
competition, but he forged ahead and
came to the front. In 1883 he was elect
ed states attorney for Vermillion coun-
.ty, and two years later the people made
him county judge. In 1894 he was re-
elected without opposition.
This spring the young jurist contest
ed the circuit nomination with Judge
Bookwalter, and, despite the fact that
Judge Bookwalter had served most ac-
ceptably on the bench, he defeated
Judge Thompson by only 80 votes at the
primaries.
The new assistant encouragement
will bring to that Office a ripe expert
ence, built upon great natural ability.
AS magistrate he has done excellent

campaigning. and is one of the best or
ganizers of political work In Illinois.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

City Collector.
The Monitor-register., 1897-02-12

The intimati on comes by the way of
New York that there is a possibility of
New Jersey yet securing member of
President McKinley's Cabinet. The basis
for the hope is that the New York Re.
publicans are divided into factions, and
that as New Jersey came to the fore at
St. Louis to provide Vice Presidential
candidate when a similar state of affairs
existed among the Republicans of the
Empire State, SO now she may furnish a
member of the Cabinet. 'Tis true, we
have the men in Senator Sewell, Franklin
Murphy, John Kean and others of equal
ability and prominence, but at the same
time it is not worth while to provide for
another detachment of the National
Guard to go to Washington for the
Inauguration. 1t is more than likely
that New Jersey will have to be
satisfied with the Vice Presidency.
Senator Sc veil declined a former Cabi-
net proffer, and it is hardly likely that he
would care now to leave his seat in the
Senate, while it is more than likely that
Mr.. Kean has other fish to fry, though a
Cabinet bird in hand might be regarded
as more desirable than Senatorship or
Governorship in the bush. Mr. Murphy
is ambitious and deserving, and Wash.
ington might prove better forum to
promote his ambitions than New Jersey,
even though it might spoil trip abroad.
The Post Office Department would afford
fine opportunity for the display OF his
business ability, and Major Mckinley
might go further and fare worse than by
putting some New Jersey timber in his
model CabiHet
The Monitor-register., 1897-02-12

Jerssymen generally appreciate the
distinguished honor that has come to the
State in the election of Vice President
Hobart, and are no doubt proud of the
signal manner in which his own State
contributed to such glorious result, as
we'll as conceding the fact that it is
worthy of beitting recognition on the
part of the State, yet after all this, we
very much question the wisdom, under
all the circumstances of the effort TO send
an escort of the National Guard to the
Inauguration ceremonies at an expense to
the State of $1,000. If ever there was
time in the history of the State to
look carefully after the expenses, that
time is here, and the Republ licans can
little afford to stand sponsors for any
measures that have designs on the State
Treasury.

MeKinley's Inauguration.

Bishop Arnett, of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, was in Pittsburg
on Sunday evening en- route to Washing
ton to arrange for the entertainment of
the members IF the committee appointed
to present to Major Mckinley Bible for
use in the inaugural ceremonies.
"The Bible upon which Major William
Mckinley will take the oath of Office on
the 4th of March as President of the
United States will be very fine and
elegant volume" said Bishop Arnett.
The book will be donated to Major Nc
Kinley for this purpose as the gift of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church. II
is now being printed in Cincinnati by the
Methodist book publishing house. 1t will
be handsomely bound and lined front an1
back with silk, with suitable dedica
tory inscription upon the inside. On the
outside there will be a beautiful gold
plate in the form of shield, on which
the name of the President, the date and
the name of the donors will be hand
someiy engraved. The Bible will be
inclosed in handsome box made of
native Ohio wood I'd gold mounted.
