1.-THE LITTLE WOODEN HOUSE"
MoKiniey's Home In Canton will Be Kept In
Good Condition.

The thousands Of pilgrims who
visited Canton during the past ten
months will have a lasting interest in
the home of the Republican candidate
and its future. They will be interest
ed to know that "the little wooden
house" on Mckinley hill is to pass
from its present occupant into good
hands.
The home is owned by Mrs. George
H. Harter, from whom Major Nc
Kinley leased it last spring, and twill
pass into the hands of Captain Kuhn
of the Hurford House, which in itself
has attained a national reputation
during the campaign. Captain Kuhn
has been a near neighbor and ardent
admirer of Major Mckinley for many
years. His father, who is now resi-
dent of Washington city, but came
out to Canton to vote for Major Nc
Kinley last fall, has voted for Major
Mckinley for every Office he ever
held from the time he was elected
prosecutor of Stark county in 1869,
during the ii years he represented
the Canton district in congress, both
his terms in the governorship and
finally for president of the United
States.
Captain Kuhn therefore has pc
culiar personal interest in 'the little
wooden house"
To thousands of persons who have
trooped in and out of the Hurford
House it will be pleasure to know
that the ambitious young hotel mana
ger is to live for the next year at least
in the Mckinley home and that SO
far as possible its memories will be
sacredly treasured by its new occu-
pant C2eaelaad Plain Dealer.

NAV YORK LETTER.

OF the many interesting facts that
can be told about the old Arcade
building at No. II Broadway, soon to
BE- razed In favor of an up-to-date
sky-scraper, the most peculiar, per-
haps, Is that the history Of the build
Ing is familiar to fewer people than
that of any other ancient landmark
In the city. All Wall street, practi.
cally, passes through it six days in the
week, and about all the thousands of
bankers, brokers, spectators and
clerks, who walk through the building
ON their way to and from the finan.
cial district. can tell you about 1t is
that Russell Sage has his office there,
and not few years ago the famous
bomb explosion occurred. The two
most noted characters who have occu.
pied offices in the Arcade are Russell
Sage and Jay Gould. Mr.. Sage, when
he leaves for his new quarters in tho
Bank Of Commerce building next
month. will have been a tenant for
more than 10 years. Mr.. Sage was the
originator of a line of business which
grew to great proportions in Wall
street. He instituted the privilege

CHURCH AND STATE,

Mr.. Howard Evans gives, in the
Contemporary Review" some of the
religious statistics of England and
Wales. Reckoning the population at
3o,ooo,ooo, he deducts 1000, 900 for
Roman Catholics, Jews and others
who are not included among the Pro-
testant Christians, leaving $4,000, ,ooo
who may be roughly said to be divided
between the Church of England and
the Nonconformist denominations.
With these figures of to-day are given
the figures of former years, but not to
the extent which might be desired.
In 1901 the Church of England
provided 4,2S9,SS3 sittings, and all
other denominations 88I, 24o sittings.
In 1851 the Church of England pro-
vided 5,3I7,9I5 sittings, and all other
denominations 4,S94,64S. In 1896
the Church of England provided
6,7IS,s sSS and ten Protestant denomi-
nations 7,6Io,oo3. 1t is probable
that in 1901 and in 1851 the men,
bers of these several bodies hold
about the same proportion as Low to
the number of sittings. AT the pre-
sent time it is estimated that the
Church of England has I,77S,3s1
COMMITMENTS and the leading Non
conformist denominations I,So7,72, /;
of Sunday school teachers the Church
of England has zoe, ,596, all other de-
nominations S73,6S5 of Sunday
school scholars the Church of Eng
land has 2,s29,SI3, other denomina
tons 3,Io3,2S5.
These figures are of special mo.
ment as indicating the influence of
establishment upon the denomination
established F; the figures are of special
significance when they are compared
with similar statistics which might be
gathered in this country. The Epls.
copal Church in America, unhindered
by any alliance with the State, adj
vanced within the last half centur,
probably with greater rapidity than
almost any other Protestant denomi-
nation in the number of its Churches,
of its bishops, ofits clergy, of it's COM
municants, of its hospitals, orphan
ages, colleges, theological seminaries,
in its missions at home and abroad
and in the moneys raised for denom-
national objects, while in England its
absolute growth has been very slight,
and, in proportion to other denomi-
nations, it has lost ground.

Prime Minister Ralli says:
Greece should not be censured for the
inactivity Of the navy, nor should the
great powers be blamed. They did not Ie-
strain Cur ships. Christianity did.
Had we bombarded the seaports of Tur-
key and the Aegean Islands the Turks
would have massacred the Christians as
they did the Armenians. Could we have
used the navy the result of the war would
have been different. The powers knew our
poverty. I do not fear an unjust decision"
M. Skouloudis, minister of foreign affairs,
writes: Greece had 10 national grievance
against Turkey, and without any blunder-
Ing interference the Cretan affair could
have been quietly settled by the two inter-

But Europe gave the patriotic society q
chance to agitate and forced unprepired

Bottling Distilled Spirits.

The commissioner of internal revenue has
issued regulations for the bottling of dis
titled spirits in bond, in accordance with
the act approved March 3. 1897. and the
law will be put into effect as soon as the
necessary stamps shall have been received
from the bureau of engraving and printing.
Requisition has been made for million
package and strip stamps, and it is ex-
pected that the proceeds of their sale will
just about equal the expense of the en-
forcement Of the law. Under the regula-
tions any distiller authorized by the act of
March 3 to bottle distilled spirits of his
own production is required to set apart a
portion of his existing warehouse for this
purpose and shall separate ii from the re-

THE RUSH FOR PLACE.
One Cheering Circumstance Noted by
the Head of a Department.

One of the most trying duties of every
head Of a government department or bu-
reau here is to inform the hundreds of
ladies in distressing circumstances, who
seek employment, that there is no way to
comply with their wishes. Every visitor
pictures her needs as exceedingly great
and usually they all have strong indorse-
ments.
There is one thing / can say about the
ladies who come to me applying for gov
ernment position said Commissioner of
Patents Butterworth today. when [ ask
them if they wish me to turn out clerks
ftom this bureau to suffer in order to give
them places they reply they do not want
me to do that. i have met but one excep-
ton to this rule. That was a lady who
said she thought they ought to be turned
out to starve If they were democrats Eut
all the others applying for places. how
ever great they picture their own needs,
! show no inclination te-profit by causing
others to suffer. am afraid 1 cannot say
the same thing of the men who come to
get places for themselves or others. They
want the places, and generally don't
bother themselves about consequences to
others.'
