Russia's Women Criminals.

Russia's women criminals are for
the most part peasants who have muir
dered their. husbands. The prevalence
of the crime is believed to be due to
the custom of marrying off girls long
before the age of puberty. To this is
also ascribed the excessive number of
deaths among very young children,the
mortality under year of age in Rus
sia being 27 per cent, whereas the Eu-
ropean average is Is per cent.

for the summer. Parson in Europe;
people taking a rest from religion. Nc
Gospel here till cool weather" Such
according to these critics. would be the
appropriate style for Il poster to be put
on the door of church closed for the
summer.
Economist" who sympathiZed largely
with this view of the matter, has dis
covered that the devil does take vaca-
ton. Or. to put the matter in a less
offensive way, the agencies in great
city that either make for evil. or at least
do not make for righteousness, find
themselves with greatly decreased pat
rOnage in the summer and in some cases
are obliged to suspend operations alto
gether. He says:
"Generaly speaking. the church stops
for precisely the same reasons that the
theatre stops; because. in the heated
term. large portion of the supporting
public are away in the country and be-
cause those who remain in town don
want to go to an inclosed space and SIT
through an exercise that involves bodily
discomfort A third reason is the reac-
ton against intellectual toll. and gener-
al loOsening of the screws and cessation
of energy under tropical conditions of
temperature. These reasons are just
as operative in education and business
as in religion or dissipation. Schools and
colleges are shut. stores vacant. all the
courts are closed Git doesn't follow that
justice is temporarily dethroned while
anarchy thrives unchallenged). and the
billiard-rooms. saloons. theatres and
other resorts either shut up entirely or
pass through a dull and Improbable sea-
SON.
1t seems to us that this is the correct
view to take of the matter. Moreover,
il is to be remembered that there is no
general closure of churches in the sum
mer. Indeed. very few churches are alb
solutely closed even for one Sunday.
There is probably not man or woman
in this city who may not easily find an
open church where the sermon will be
helpful and the service uplifting. 1t is
also to be borne in mind that many men
and women who try faithfully to live up
to Chrst's teachings do not make church
going the supreme and only test OF
Christianity Nor do they believe that
the heart and conscience Of man can
be reached only through an appeal from
the pulpit.
In point of fact. the hue and cry
against the clergy for taking vacation
is a bit of captrap. Every man is the
better for taking a rest. and the pastor.
like the banker or business man. returns
to his duties with renewed vim and en-
thusiasm when he comes home from his
vacation. His rest benefits not only him
self. but his people; for there is more
life and power in his sermons. and he is
better fitted both mentally and physically
to do the work OF his parish.

Does not Think there will be Black Mark
Against Him for Failing 10 Call his Men
10 PRAYERS After the Big Battle.

Following is copy of a letter sent by
Captain Evans on July 23rd i'll reply to
an article published by the Index, at Will
Transport, Pa, praising Captain Philip,
of the Texas, for his ''after-action pray
err and making contrast between Capt.
Philips action and what is referred 70
by the paper as the Frequently published
profanity" of Captain Evans:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt To-
day of Il copy of your paper which you
have been good enough to send to me.
Il am somewhat at a loss to know
whether you sent it for the purpose Of
calling my attention to the cuss words
attributed to me i'm the newspapers or to
Captain Philips official show of Chris
tan spirit in announcing to his men on
the quarter deck of the Texas after the
battle of Santiago that he believed N
Almighty God. AS, however. you have
seen fit to drag my name into your news
paper | hope that you will publish this
reply that those who have read your is
sue of July 10Th may also read what l.
have to say about it,
Il have never considered it necessary.
and l am sure that a great majority of
officers in the navy do not consider it
necessary, to announce to their crews
that they believe in Almighty God
think that goes without saying. We,
each of us. have the right to show by
our acts how much we are imbued with
this belief. Captain Philip had a perfect
right to show this to his men as he did;
it was simply matter of taste.
NOW, for myself, shortly after the
Spanish cruiser ViZcaya had struck her
colors. and my crew had secured the
guns. the chaplain of the ship. an excel
lent man, came to me and said, Captain.
shall | say a few words of thanks to AL
mighty God for our victory? | said: by
all means do so; will have the men sent
aft for that purpose, and was on the
point of doing so when it was reported tC
me that Spanish battleship was stand
