An enterprising church paper took an
ingenious way OF finding out the reiigi-
Gus predictions OF the daily papers Of
Boston by measuring the number OF
editorial inches referring to recent re-
ligious conventions in that city. The
Congr. g%atlonal convention only received
fourteen inches ID the Herald, the
other dailies contributing nothing.
The Traveller only gave the Episcopal
convention an inch and a-hslf. the
journal 21s. the Globe 3ls, while the
Transcript gave 49, inches. The
Transcript also gave the Unitarians 40l,
inches whlle the other papers together
only gave 2l;. The Methodists were
given more space than all the rest put
together. but their convention sat
longer and made more newspaper points.
On the whole the Boston papers do not
find religion u topic for profitable"
meditation.

night in revising the draft of the treaty

joint session will settle all the open
questions in substance leaving only the
wording of the treaty for discussion.

MADRID. Dec. 6.-The government
has not reached a full decision regard

report that the government will devote
the indemnity received from the United
States to the colonial indebtedness. re-

An East End man was advised some time
ago not 10 drink coffee. Bis doctor told him
IL helred 20 make bis liver torpid and his
liver was doing its best 10 render life miser-
able for himself And all the rest OF the family.
But. no, he couldn't give up his two cups at
breakfast time. He couldn't mako tho sacri-
fee. Nothing could take the place OF the
delicious Java and Mocha mixed that he had
learned TO love.
One day his wife, suggested in mild way
that he might lie Just as well sati'fod with
one OF the brands OF imitation coffee He
almost frothod at the mouth
"1hAt informal stuff" he cried. "Not

I'd like 10 SEQ anybody try 10 foil me with n
counterfeit Of that sort" he didn't notice
that his wife quietly smiled But, sirenge to
say, from that time on he grow better. His
bilious tendency was greatly lassened. He
felt like new man.
one day he met the doctor.
Hello, doc, " he cried, elm getting better in
spite OF YOU"

smiling doctor.
"Given up coSoe' Not much. Cofce's all

A few weeks later he mot the man from

"Hullo. quoth the grocer. "how well you
are looking"

morning ne looked at his cup little suspic-

WHAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT DO.


The City Council, by ths action of both
branches, has washed its hands OF the
versy. Most likely the memoers were
very glad to receive the committees re-
port, place 1t on file, and let II 20 at
that In sense the Council is justified
in thus dropping the matter, as The mess
created by the last city government is be-
fore the courts. Quite likely, too the
members are profoundly thankful that
they need not assume responsibility for
Immediately further proceedings.
At the same time, 1t Is probably fact
that such action could DO taken by the
City Council as would rescue the situa-
tion from passing into legal struggle of
certain severity and uncertain duration.
The people Of Providence have waited a
good many years for the railroad facili-
ties. and now that thoy are all completed
the people have been deprived of them
and are to be so deprived for an indefl-
mite period to come. Even now, IL is
not too late for the Council to make n
nav deal and reassert the authority of
the city government in way. and after
such methods rs shall open that depot
10 public use, free it from the Injustice
that restrains such use. re-establish the
question on q basis that shall result in
its prompt settlement In q digniiled and
business-like way and save the city the
expense of litigation, the end of which
cannot he seen and which. after all, may
result only IN she discontinue OF tho
