UNDERTAKERs FALL OUT.
n Dissolution of Partnership Asked
For.


Adolph J. Schippert, jr. through his at
torneys, Biglow & Biglow, today filed a
petition in equity against c. Gem Mich
o.s asking for a dissolution OF partner
snip, injunction, the appointment of re-
ce!ver and requiring the defendant TO give
an accounting.
Schippert says in his complaint that on
July L. 1898. he and Nichols entered into
partnership in the undertaking business
at No 2O7 Second Street southeast and
No 2lIS Pennsylvania Avenue northwe ST,
and that the agreement was TO be of ef-
feet for three years, and that they did
actually begin the con luct OF the business S
at the places named. According to the
terms Of agreement Schippert was TO fur
nish $500 in cash $3.50 of which was de-
posted in the Lincoln National Bank and
the defendant Nichols was to contribute
stock and fixtures valued at 500, but
Schippert alleges that the articles turned
into the partnership are not worth more
than $500 il was also agreed that N.ch-
OILS would devote his entire time to the
business, which Schippert says he did
not do.
The business was TO have been managed
by the defendant, who was to fix prices,
give credit and collect all debts and pay
all bills In doing this, Schippart alleges
that Nichols imposed upon him by put
ting in incorrect and fictitious bills.
Schfppert also alleges that in many in
stances Nichols reported and returned
into the business much less money than
was collected.
Schippert therefore asks that the de-
PENDANT be restrained from further con-
duct Of the business and that a receiver
for the firm be appointed.

SPREAD WIDE THE GOSPEL.
Rev. w 4. Guerry breaches n Mis-
sionary Sermon at Takoma

The Rev. W. A. Guerry, a member of
the faculty of the University of the South.
who is attending the Episcopal Conven-
ton, preached at the morning service in
Trinity Chapel at Takoma Park yester-
day.
Rev. Guerry is a strong speaker, and
handled his subject in a pleasing and can
did manner. His sermon was of a mis-
sionary character, the text being selected
from St Mark, 18th chapter, 18th verse:
Go ye therefore and teach all nations"
The minister did not hesitate to acknowl-
edge that the Episcopal Church is far out
stripped by the other great Protestant
churches in the matter of missionary
work, and strongly urged that this def
cheney be corrected. He spoke in praise of
the missions established in all parts of
the world by the great universities and
believes that there will be a great revival
in this work in the near future. He es-
pecially emphasized the fact that in order
to be true followers of Christ all must do
their share in teaching actively and ef-
fectively the gospel TO all nations
The service was largely attended by the
members of all denominations.

THE REFORM WILL COME

The question OF reform in the consular
service Of the United States Is com
manding a degree Of attention which
gives every assurance that the reform
will come, sooner or later. The matter
is being earnestly pressed by some of
the leading commercial bodies of the
country, whose influence will be felt in
congress. Recently the Chamber of
Commerce of Cleveland sent rep.
resentatives to Washington to ask the
cooperation of the president in the
movement and 1t Is said they received
much encouragement. 1t is proposed to
have agents of the chamber at the
capital this winter who will work with
the members of the foreign affairs com
mittees Of the senate and house, just
as they would work for the passage Of a
tariff measure or any other having a
strict business bearing.
Representative Adams Of Penn
sylvania, q member Of the committee
on foreign affairs, will make q strong
effort to have passed at this session his
bill for reforming the consular
system. This measure authorizes the
president to appoint a commission, con-
sisting Of two senators and two mem
bers of the house and II officer of the
State department to aid in the reorgani'
zation of the service. The manner OF
carrying out the reorganization Is left
to the discretion of the president, but
such reforms as are intended must be
accomplished within two years after the
passage of the bill. The bill provides
that no person under the age of p OF
over 80 shall be admitted to the service
but persons who shall have been previ'
Ously employed in the consular service
for a period of not less than four years
may be admitted up to the age OF CO
years. 1t is provided that promotion to
the grade of consul Of the first class
shall require the passage Of an exam.

SECULAR SHOTS At THE PULPIT.

Minneapolis Journal: st. Johns Episcopal
church, Jersey City, Is dazed. The pastor,
Rev. r. l.. Stoddard, has started a boxIns
class. The bright Sunday school boy who
used to go proudly home with a prize
hymnal and a worked" bookmark will now
carry home the black eye OF fstic mex
perience.
Kansas City Star: "How absurd 1t s to
talk about this being the age OF light when
the people will pay $4,000 to see two hu-
man brutes smash each other!" exclaims q
New York preacher. Well. considering that
devout men used to put others to death for
religions sake, the world is at least nc
worse than 1t used to be.
Chicago Post: Realizing that church is a
place where people do not care about see
ing so long as they can hear, the women Of
Green Bay have decided to remove their
hats during services. Could anything bet
ter illustrate the thoughtful consideration
Of woman than this plan for removing hats
in church because Of the agitation for hat
less women at the play?
Chicago Chronicle: DR.. Green Is not to
be bishop Of Iowa. The diocesan conven-
ton assembled at Cedar Rapids has de-
cided 30 much. 1t listened with patience
to the shameless story Of endeavor upon
the part Of DR.. Green's enemies to traduce
his character through use Of detectives and,
having practically approved the partnership
between holiness and a detective agency, 1t
denied DR.. Green the bishopric. Then what?
1t INDICATED DR.. Green by appointing him
a member OF the standing committee Of the
diocese. The ways Of the godly are some
times inexplicable.
Kansas City Star: A Boston preacher
says that men and women should not marry
until they understand love and the duties
and compensations thereof. He forgets that
where ignorance is bliss, tits folly to be
WISE" and that blessed is the man or
woman who knows only the Joy OF first
love, for OF such is the kingdom Of Heaven.
The a~ncients said that the gods envied
men, and, verify, In these latter days the
superior individual who has been Through
the MILL" and knows 1t all, may we'll wish
for the happy ignorance Of youth and the
enthusiasm Of inexperience. Thus do men
pay for drinking at the spring OF knowledge
and thus are they driven from the fools
paradise, where, II they remain fools, they
will be jewellers in Eden. while the wise
men look on from afar and laugh and in
their hearts wish they were fools back In
the garden. The Boston preacher either has
never been in love himself or he was try-
ing to salve the recollection OF q mistaken
knowledge.

CANADA,s RECIPROCITY HOPES.

Not much progress, 1t Is stated, Is be-
ing made by the Anglo-American com
mission toward reaching an agreement
ON the question Of trade reciprocity,
which 80 far as Canada Is concerned is
the chief feature of the proposed treaty.
The Canadian commissioners are said
to have very little hope of being able to
effect an agreement and 1t ought to be
apparent to them that they cannot rea-
sonably expect to accomplish anything
SO long as they refuse to abandon the
preferential tariff given to Great
Britain and only offer the United States
the privilege Of sharing equally with
England in the Canadian market on a
limited number of articles. They should
have by this time realized that this
preferential duty is a stumbling block
In the way of reciprocity that must be
removed IL Canada is to have closer
commercial relations with this country
and IL the Canadian government will
not make this concession 1t might as
well cease all efforts to secure q reel
procity agreement, for IL such an agree
ment should be entered into by the CON-
mission. which ia not at all probable,
1t could not be ratified by the senate nor
carried into effect by the necessary leg
islation that would be required of con-
gress.
The preferential duty Is Of no ad-
vantage to Canada. except as an evil
dence Of loyalty to British interests
Canada has gained nothing from 1t and
will gain nothing, SO that its retention
Is not prompted by self-interest, but IL
would seem wholly by the feeling that
to abandon 1t would be unpatriotic,
Reciprocity. on the other hand, would
mean renewed prosperity for Canada's
great agricultural and industrial inter
ests. II she is not willing to make any
sacrifice to secure this benefit certainly
the United States cannot be expected to
make any concessions to British senti'
ment In Canada. With this country the
matter Is entirely N Of business. The
American people, outside Of New Eng
land, are not particularly anxious fol
closer trade relations with Canada. The
agricultural producers Of the northwest
and on our northern border are not ask,

Review Of the Procession Of Pro-
Rressive Events
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The other day we read that a surgeon
In the east had made a new face for one
Of his patients. and now there comes the
news that a surgeon in Nebraska has fur
nished a man with a new interior.
The details OF the operation are OF alb
sorbing interest and more infatuating than
a novel. but we draw a veil over them.
The fact most worthy Of notice In con-
nection with this wonderful performance is
the advance made by Nebraska In all the
departments OF science since the departure
OF W. J. Bryan for the front and the OPEN
ing of Colonel Rosewater's t~ransmissis-
sippi exposition. The great state that
stretches from hat's-the-matter-w with
Kansas to the banana belt OF the Dakotas
has evidently awakened from Its long
sleep. When q citizen Of that once hui
inflated but now exalted commonwealth
can boast Of an interior made to order the
cause OF sound money and an honest dollar
may be considered secure from all danger.
Let US hope hat the attention Of William
Allen White may be called to this remark

hilarating breezes that fan the undulating
p~rairies Of Nebraska and extract tan-penny
nails from farm fences were necessary to
the upbuilding Of the system that submit
ted patiently to this operation. There is no
telling how to account for the wonderful

fees, the sole and only compensation OF
the consular offices being their salaries.
Representative Adams has given very
careful attention to this subject and his
statement that the consular system of
the United States Is vastly In need OF
improvement will hardly be questioned.
"The difficulty Isl he said, that we have
not enough trained and experienced
diplomats among our foreign repre-
sentatives and some of our consuls are
not thoroughly qualified for their work
when 1t comes to handling intricate and
delicate subjects of diplomacy. What
we need Is a trained corps of diplomats
who shall spend a lifetime in the serv-
ice, as they do In England and other
European countries, and who shall not
be subject to political changes at the
white house, That Is the important
thing, to divorce the consular service
from politics, so that no matter what
political party is in control of the ad-
m%inistratiOn no consul who has been
faithful and efficient in the discharge Of
his duties car be replaced by some
politician anxious to spend a few years
abroad at the expense Of the govern
ment. This, together with the prospect
of promotion, would encourage fidelity
and promote efficiency.
Our broadening commercial relations
make the demand for reforming and
improving the consular service more
urgent arI imperative than ever be-
fore. Prompt steps should be taken to
weed out Of the service the incapable
and inefficient and to place it upon a
basis that will in time give the service a
worth and character equal to that Of
any other country. There will be no
trouble in finding thoroughly capable
men for this service whenever it shall
be placed on a proper basis and in a few
years we should have a trained corps
of consular officers that would be a
credit to the country and of invaluable
service to u commercial interests.
