HAYTI'S HONOR INVOLVED.
She Doesn't Care About the Money
Demanded d by Germany.

Washington. Dec 2.-The exact nature
of Germany's demands on Hayti became
known for the first time today. The de-
tails came by way OF the steamer from
Port Au Prince which arrived at New
York yesterday. and sh-w the demands
TO be as follows:
F'irst-An indemnity of twenty thousand
American dollars for Emile Lueders.
Second-The promise that Mr.. Lueders
may return to Hayti and there sojOurn
without danger of any kind.
Third-A letter to my government in
which you viii express apology for the
proceedings toward the German govern
ment in the whole transaction
Fourth-That the president of Hayd
shall graciOusly receive the German
charge d'affaires at Port Au Prince.
1t was also announced that if indemnity
was not given a warship would be sent or
diplomatic relations be broken
without answering the demands in de-
tail. Hayti asked if Germany, by present
ing this demand, intended to close the ne
gCtiatiOns in the Lueders case, and also
on what grounds an apology was asked.
The money demanded was regarded by
Hayti as far less important than the other
three. which were considered as affecting
Hayti's honor. The demand that the
president receive Count Schweirin gra-
ciously was looked upon as involving
deep humiliation, as it was this official
who had gone before the president and
Tudely submitted his demands. It was
this fourth demand which led Hayu to
prepare for one eventuality-
Since the foregoing correspondence
closed it has become apparent, according
to cable dispatches from Berlin, that the
suggestion as to the sending of warships
has. been modified and that there is no
present purpose to send them

billiard tournament at the IS inch balk
in the Madison Square garden concert
hall yesterday afternoon from George
Sutton. the young Canadian expert.

George F. SlOssOn and Maurice Daily

which he maintained up to the twenty
eighth inning, but between the twenty
eighth and thirty-seventh innings he
made only ten points, SlOssOn in the
meantime securing a lead of s. DAILY

SCANDALOUS.
The Situation at the Reform School
Seems Worse Than Ever.

Two more boys escaped last week
from the reform school and two boys
escaped on Monday. An officer, who
was employed at the institution under
superintendent Howell and also under
superintendent Hart for a while, says
that the boys are not under the con-
troll of the officers, but do about as
they wish. This has all been caused by
the internal quarrel which has taken
the place of attention to duty.
Most of the employees Who are there
do not expect to stay, but expect to be
dismissed from month to month. Con-
sequently but little effort is made to
keep the school running on a plan that
IS a credit to the force.
Two of the boys who are allow
ed to work around the building and
who consequently have many special
privileges, have been found numerous
times in compromising situations with
two young women employed there.
Notes from the boys to the girls have
been intercepted and are now in the
possession of parties outside. of the
school. This is hardly the education
that it is expected that the boys
should receive while there, but the ones
that teach can expect the pupils to fol-
low in their footsteps.
The two boys in particular and the
two young women have been known to
meet in different parts of the buildings
and on the grounds. The officers have
been informed of the state of affairs
and the boys have been reprimanded,
but the women employees were not. The
scandal continues.

NO GOOD FOR FARMERS.
Severe Criticism of the Government
Crop Report System by its
Statistician.

Washington, Dec. 2-The annual re-
port of the statistician of the department
of agriculture, Mr.. John Hyde has been
issued. 1t is devoted mainly to criticisms
of the cumbersome and unbusinesslil1e
crop system that has been in use in the
department during the last few years and
to recommendations looking to an i'm
provement of the system.
Mr.. Hyde states that his brief official
connection with the division has been suf-
ffcient to impress him strongly with the
cumbersomeness of the existing system
of crop reporting; second, with the fact
that the information obtained is utterly
incommensurate with the labor involved
in its collection, and third, with the dis
advantage under which the farmer Ia
bors in being placed in possession so
much less promptly than other citizens of
the information which the department
makes public from time to time, concern
ing the condition of crops in this and
other countries.

TO STOP LYNCHING.
Governor O'FerraI Makes Some Sug-
gestions in His Message.

Richmond, Va, Dec. I'm his message
to the general assembly Governor O'Fer-
rail- discusses the lynching question and
proposes legislation to correct the evil. He
urges that heavy pecuniary penalty be
imposed on each county and city in which
a lynching occurs; that wherever the mil
itia may be called out to protect a pris~
Oner in a county or city, such county or
city be charged with the expenses there
of. and that officers who allow prisoners
to be taken from their custody without
first having exhausted all means to pro-
tect their prisoners be summarily sus-
pended until the question of dismissal shall
be determined by a jury. Also, that there
be only one penalty for criminal assault,
and that death.

1T HELPED THE TREASURY
Union Pacihc's First Payment is
Counted in the Cash.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The December
statement of the public debt shows that
at the close of business November 3d. 1897,
the public debt, less cash in the treasury,
amounted to 81, ,O09, ,226, 466, a decrease since
October 80 of S11, ,3SS 125. This decrease is
accounted for by an increase in the cash
due to the deposit of an installment of
the proceeds of the sale of the govern
ment's interest in the Union Pacific rail-
road. But for this transaction the cash
in the treasury would have been S771. 40

DEATH OF rIRS. B. r. MONROE.

We grieve to record this week the
She passed away, January %, at 1890
p. NJ, succumbing to an attack of acute
laryngitis. Mrs Monroe was the wife of
Benjamin F. Monroe, the chairman Of
the Fellowship Committee of the Illinois
Uniyersalist Convention, and widely
known as one of our best laymen, always
faithful to UNCONVENTIONAL interests.
Mrs. Monroe was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. I'll. I'll. Hustled, who were active
and influential members of st. Paul's
church from the early days of the parish.
From her early childhood until her mar
riage to Mr.. Monroe, and for some years
after. she was under the influences of old
st. Paul's. And after moving to other
localities. out of the reach of st. Paul'e,
she was connected with others of our par
ishes, and at the time of her death was a
member of the parish at Woodlawn.
Her health during the last two years
prevented her from church activities,
a condition causing her the keenest re-
greet.
Mrs. Monroe loved the Uniyersalist
Church; cherished and practiced it's
faith; was an earnest defender of it's
doctrines. She was conscious until the
last. and had no fear of death. She
spoke confidently of meeting her parents
and the babe she had lost some years
ago. With remarkable eIearness she
directed the distribution of articles Of
value and usefulness to the family. She
babe her husband good bye, closed her
eyes and breathed her last, without a
struggle.
Mrs. Monroe's life was devoted to her
family. She was conspicuous among
her acquaintance for her kindly and
cheerful manners. She was truly a
Christian woman.
The sympathy of many friends will be
with Bro. Monroe and his daughters in
this bereavement. May they find the
comfort and hopes of the Gospel suffi-
Gent for them in their hour of need.

OONvIOT-MADE SCHOOL BOOKS.

GOVERNOR TANNERS recommended
ton of free school books, in his in
augural address, was coupled with
suggestion that convicts might be
employed in manufacturing these
books, suggestion that, strange to
say, has not yet been denounced as
it should be. As to free school books
the Governor has the example of
some eight or ten States and several
cities on his side, but as respects hi 8
suggestion to manufacture the free
books in the prisons of the State, he
happily stands alone.
1t is difficult to imagine more re-
pulsive idea in connection with the
peoples schools. Think of children
taking their first lessons in morals
and education from books made in a
penitentiary and by the worst Grimm
ais of the State. Imagine Ruskin
or Carlyle characterizing such a
suggestion! Yet representative has
already formulated bill to carry out
this suggestion and the great State
of Illinois may yet, if this measure
prevails, furnish unique spectacle
to the world. 1t is inconceivable,
however that sucb a measure will
pass the Legislature of Illinois. Con-
vict-made school books is about as
good a device as could be suggested
for obliterating the natural repug-
nance to crime in the heart of
child. Bring the children of the
State up with the flavor of the peni-
Tertiary in their intellectual and NOR
al diet, and it will soon be necessary
to enlarge the prisons.

The Religious Atmosphere.
A religious atmosphere pervades all
the place and all the work, and, large as
other lines of work are, there is more of
direct and inspiring religious teaching
than of anything else. There are the
Sunday morning and evening services.
the pleasant Sunday afternoon, the Sun
day-school. and Bible classes, the mid
week meeting, the children's classes. the
mothers meetings, and many others.
There is a movement at present to en-
large and deepen this blessed Christian
work which must be the basis of all re-
form. of all uplifting of indivi dual lives

The Every Day Church resembles
nothing so much as bee hive-all ac-
tivity and sweetness. II you had been
