Religious Excitcment

Religious prosecutions in Quakertown,
small village near Norwich, Conn.,,
nave reached such a point that serious
climax may result. A month ago the
members Of the old families decided that
the present youth and maiden were being
allowed too much levity, and it was to
meet this want Of seriousness that a re-
hgious awakening was decided upon. All
went well for time. Solomon Crouch, a
carpenter, who was the leader, is a
Quaker by birth, but not being a native
OF Quakertown the young folks looked
upon him as an outsider. and some Of
them distrusted him. He claims to have
special revelations from God, and what
is revealed to him he breaches to the peo-
pie. 1t Is reported that Crouch went to
tne home of Lucy Whipple, wife of Allen
Whlpple. She told the revivalist she did
not believe in his alleged revelations. At
this the revivalist is alleged to have be-
come greatly enraged and struck her in
the face with knife. The next morning
the Whipple house was burned to the
ground, while the neighbors looked on.
Inc following night the older Quakers
met in council. The entire neighborhood
gathered at the outskirts of the village,
and decided to run Crouch out. Armed
with shotguns, 1t is alleged they sur
rounded Watrous' house and called for
Crouch to appear. He and his followers
made stanch stand. and, il is said, not
withstanding that charges of buckshot
were exchanged, nobody was seriously
hurt. During lull in the fight Crouch
ana Watrous are reported to have escaped
under the cover of darkness.

JAPAN EXPECTS INDEMNITY.
Toru Hoshi Gives the Mikado's Posi-
tion Regarding Hawaii.

1oru hOeni Gives the MikauO's fOsi~
tion Regarding Hawaii.
Toru Hoshi, Japanese minister to the
United States, admitted In an interview
with representative of the Associated
Press that the object of his mission to
Japan, from whence he has just returned,
was to ascertain the views of his Gov
eminent on the proposed annexation Of
Hawaii and to procure instructions from
the mikado relative to the course he was
expected to pursue in case the treaty shall
be ratified by Congress. Mr.. Hoshi said:
1.-The impression has gone out to the
American people that we propose to recall
the protest entered by Japan against the
acquisition of the Sandwich Islands by
the United States Government. This is
misleading and untrue. Japan has always
maintained amicable relations with the
United States, and it is not our purpose
now to take any steps that would lead to
breach Of mutual good will, but at the
same time Japan will stand firmly in the
maintenance of its rights and privileges
acquired under treaty with the Hawaiian
Government. If the United States decid-
ed to annex Hawaii, we hope to be able
to enforce our demands for indemnity for
the violation Of treaty rights in the ex
pulsion Of japanese immigrants from the
island and their exclusion from the rights
acquired under our treaty."

escretary Of the Treasury Presents
HE Annual Report.

Secretary Of the Treasury Presents
HE Annual Report.
The Secretary OF the Treasury In his
annual report sent to Congress says that
the Dingley act "has not been In force
long enough TO determine fully its merits,
but 1t 10 confidently believed that when
In full operation 1t will afford ample reve-
nue. for the ordinary needs of the Gov
eminent"
He. however, In his estimates for the
fiscal year 1893, places the total revenue
at $441, 100000 expenditures at $780,
100000, or deficit OF $28,0O0,00O.
For 1909 the revenues are estimated at
$4S2, 100000 and appropriations $504,-
100000, deficit of $21, 600, 600. For the
fiscal year ended June 80 last, the receipts
were $430,000,OOO; expenses, $448, OOO,-
zoo, deficit OF $1S,00O,0OO.
The Secretary says the enormous depre-
citation in the commercial value of silver,
as compared with gold, has greatly in
creased the financial responsibilities Of
the Government in it's demand liabilities,
and the logical consequences Of the fact
should be boldly faced.
The Treasury Department in all It's
operations has treated gold and silver
coins, and the paper Representatives Of
each, as Of equal dignity as to value" he
says. 1T has operated to keep in con-
current circulation on terms of equality
the two kinds Of metallic money, notwith-
standing the never ceasng disparity be-
tween the natural or commercial value OF
one as compared with the other Never
theless 1t must be recognized that this
undertaking involves a large financial re-
sponsibility and requires proper and ade-
quate legislative provisions for its con-
tnued execution.
The condition of the treasury In it's
relation to demand obligations requires
that one OF two steps be taken. The one
may be large reinforcement Of the per-
manent gold reserve; the other may be an
important reduction in the Objectionable
form of liabilities. The latter is in my
opinion the more desirable"
The Secretary then recommends the es-
adjustment of an issue and redemption
division department to which $125,OOO,-
OOO in gold shall be set over to be used
for redemption purposes, and that the sill
yer dollars and bullion be passed to the
same account; that the 100000 600
greenbacks be collected and placed in this
division to be disbursed therefrom only
In exchange for gold.
lie also recommends the issue of bonds
bearing ~ per cent, payable in gold, after
ten years, at the pleasure of the Govern
ment, to take the place of the outstand-
Ing loans, with an allowance for difference
In interest. There were number OF 9TH
err recommendations.

GREATMAILR ROBBERY
SOC. 900 is REPORTED TO HAVE
BEEN STOLEN.
Registered Matter IL Missing on a
Branch of the Genital Railroad of New
jersey -One Postal Clerk Cannot BE
Found-Business Outlook.
Registered Mail stolen.

Investigation is now being made of
what Is supposed to be one of the biggest
robberies in the history OF the New York
postoffice. The robbery is said to be in
the railway mail service and confined ex-
clusively TO registered letters. The ex-
act amount taken cannot be learned, but
1t is stated unofficially to be in the neigh
borhood Of 100000. This figure is
thought to be'excessive by some who are
investigating the case, but all agree that
1t is the largest amount ever taken at
any one time in the registry department.
The robbery. is confined, so far as inves-
tigation has shown, to that section of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey which
Is known as the New York, Somerville
and Easton branch. The discovery was
made on Nov. o, but the secret was kept
by the postofiice authorities until now.
1t is known, so the statement is made,
that $4,000, the total amount carried in
two bags, was taken. This sum was miss
Ing on Nov. 8. How long the defalcation
had gone on prior to that time has not
been ascertained. On the day the robbery
was discovered Robert Il. Lang, clerk
employed on the New York, Somerville
and Easton branch, disappeared, and has
not been found. In addition to Lang
there were employed w. j. McLaren, L.
3. Tooker and j. darcy. Since Nov. Z
hundreds Of complaints have reached
postofices making inquiries after regis
tered letters that never reached their des-
tination. The chief inspector and his staff
Mt the potsoflice in New York have sew
eral files filled with these complaints.

country Of BOrgu under the Anglo French
convention OF. 1890. Captain Lugard, for
Great Britain outdistanced Commander

King of Borgu, but the French hold that
such q treaty is null and void from the
fact that France has effectively occupied

Hinterland, in accordance with the spirit
and letter Of the treaty of Berlin.

Marrying n Man to Reform Him.
The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of young girls
life, wrote Evangelist Dwight l.. Moody
In the Ladies' Home Journal, Is the
common delusion that a woman can
best reform a man by marrying him.
1t is mystery to me how people can
be so blinded to the hundreds of cases
In every community where tottering
homes have fallen and innocent lives
have been wrecked, because some
young girl has persisted in marrying
a scoundrel In the hope of saving him.
I have never known such a union. and
/ have seen hundreds of them, result
In anything but sadness and disaster.
Let no young girl think that she may
be able to accomplish what loving
mother or sympathetic sisters have
been unable to do. Before there is any
contract of marriage there should be
proof that there has been
real and thorough regeneration.
