GENEROUS CHURCHES.

There are many who think that the churches have grown cold and selfish, and that they are chiefly occupied in being comfortable and worshipping condition of those outside the churches. Those who so think will be somewhat surprised by some facts that have been gathered by the Church Economist That paper issued call for reports from churches which contribute more for outside causes than they spend for congregational expenses. The 'congre- gational expenses" of church consist of all that is paid for it's own support the pastors salary, the choir, fuel, light, the sexton's pay, in short, every thing essential to it's maintenance throughout the year. The answers to the call of the Church Economist are coming in and they tell noble story of the beneficence of many churches. One correspondent says there are sev- eral churches around Boston which give more than they spend for them selves and one case is cited in which the contributions to outside causes in the aggregate regularly exceed the cost of it's own maintenance, while, in ad- dition to that, not more than a third of the giving of the members goes through church channels directly. Another pas- tor writes that for over eleven years his church has given to missions and kindred objects more than it's expenses by about $1,o00 year. A New Jersey correspondent writes that a church of Plainfield contributes for outside causes at the rate of $20.49 per mem- Der, while it's own proper expenses are but $14.S3 per member. Finally, a New ton, Massachusetts, church which ex- pended $12,000 on itself last year, con- tributed for benevolent purposes s23,- 900; and it's gifts for home missions alone were almost equal to it's congre- gational expenses.
 These are encouraging reports and there are more to come. It will be found that the churches are more gen. erously alive than many think.

SHERMAN HOAR.

Of those in this state who took part in the republican revolt in the last de- cade, Sherman Hoar was, in number of respects, best calculated to win pub lie favor. When he left the republican organization he did not pause at any midway point, but, believing that pub lie affairs have to be controlled by po- litical parties, he threw himself freely and fully into the democratic ranks and in this way became in very short time officially identified with that or ganization. There were others whC made a similar change, with less impet- uosity, perhaps, than MT. Hoar, be- cause they did not possess his ardent nature. and for a time their acquisi- tion to the democratic ranks gave to the party in this state a prestige and an ascendency it had not for many years possessed.

tenths miles of inland construction, be- sides three and one-tenth miles In the bay of Panama, in all forty-siX and a half miles, as compared with 176 miles bolt submits various considerations tending to show that the Panama route presents fewer natural difficulties than the Nicaragua route, and is less expos ed to torrential rainfall and to earth quake. He says that the average rain fall at the Isthmus of Panama is nine ty-three inches, while at Nicaragua it is 256 inches, or nearly three times as much. There is no active volcano with in two hundred miles of the former, while three lie in close vicinity of the route of the Nicaragua canal and one within only forty miles of its western locks" In conclusion General Abbott expresses the opinion that there is only one interoceanic canal, that of Panama, that could be judciously undertaken at the present time. He accordingly recommends that our government make as thorough an examination of the Panama route and work as has been made of the Nicaragua route before em- barking it's money In the latter, since two canals are not needed even if two are feasible.
 It seems to be plain that only one ca nal is needed, and it Is also plain that the United States ought to control that one.

THE PANAMA CANAL AGAIN

There is talk that the Panama canal is for sale and that it can be bought by the United States. If this is true there is strong argument for buying it. In the first place, $125, ,O0O, ,0OO has already been spent on it, and the experts say that only about $1OOO ,OOO more will finish it. General Henry L. Abbott, of the Engineer corps of the United States army, was a member of the board se- lected by the new Panama Canal com pany to make a fresh survey of the work and an estimate of the cost and time necessary for completing the ca nal. Associated with him were a num- Der of European engineers, including the chief engineers of the Manchester and Kiel ship canals. The conclusions of General Abbott are that the canal on the plan of eight lift locks-four on either side of the Culebra summit-is entirely feasible that the work can be completed for $1OOOOO,OO and that it can be done in ten years at the furthest and probably in less time. The esti- mate of the European engineers is eight years. When completed the length of the canal will be forty-three and four

A Hint for Plain Women.

Black and white is again in marked favor. This combination is fine one for the clever women who are not pret- ty, but who yet always are attractive. To such nothing is so essentially be- coming, at once to youth and to age. By it dull complexion is frightened, a fair one made dazzling. Sedateness and frivolity can both find expression if allowed this combination to work with, and a blend of frivolity and de-

The Canadian authorities are arrang- ing for the importation of a tribe of Russian peasants known as Spirit wrestlers." The people are in a very impoverished state, having suffered ex- tremely from the Russian attempts to stamp them out. Some philanthropists in England, represented by Aylmer Maude of Danbury, England, have in- terested themselves in a movement to transport the tribe to Canada. They number 7,5OO The objection the Rus sian government has to them is that the spirit-wrestlers refuse to enter mil itary service from religious scruples.

mureneSS, that essentially cOduettiSh fascination, succeeds most thoroughly in black and white. The grand dame in priceless lace over white satin com- mands awe-struck admiration; her grandniece in 6 white null wig -wagged with little frills of black net, each frill edged with narrow white baby ribbon, her bodice all white about the throat, her tiny waist clasped with black, is a flutter of frivolity. There you are.
 Women who are positively handsome and others who believe themselves pretty need not forswear this mating of colors just because it is fine weapon for unhandsome folk It is quite the thing, too, in hats as well as in gowns Many a winter hat will have it's black and white wings, and there are offered no end of models that are quite as strikingly after this combination as any worn when it last was the fashion. The use on a hat of from two to four wings, some white, others black, is so easy 8 trick that it gives little distinction, though it is as stylish as can be. It is much better to get away from it, how ever, if possible. This picture suggests one method. It shows hat of black velvet, the brim and crown edged with black chantilly lace over white silk. An Alsatian bow of white satin ribbon sur mounted the crown; in the center of this was a jeweled ornament and punches of violets were placed on either side.
 The newest form of pompadour is softened in it's line against the fore head by tiny little tendril curls. These will surely come to be bang in little while and the bang will then climb up to the pompadour. Yet a glossy locked damsel is heard to declare that now she realizes the comfort of smooth, long locks she will never again cut her hair at the forehead. Just watch her when the bang is again the fashion, which 1t will be before very long.

AmbittOn's Penalty.

But yesterday he was man of character unstained Enconiums upon his head were liberally rained. His Christian reputation was without flaw or taint- In short he was regarded by the people as saint. But now he is a renegade unworthy of our trust, His character is spotted with dishonors clinging rust; The opposition hiss at him just like lot of geese, Because he is a candidate for justice of the peace.

FOUR PRISONERS BREAK JAIL
Thieves Make Successful Effort to
Escape mt Westminster. Md.

Westminster. Md, Aug. Z7.-Four pris-
oners made a daring and successful es-
cape from Westminster Jail at quarter
of o'clock last night, and one other
prisoner who had been allowed to be
out of the building escaped in tn after
noon. Those who got away WEI Harry
Stouffie. held for larceny: Clarence Ar
baugh and James Cook charged with rob-
bing Capt. Miller's store at Hampstead:
Horace Mott and George Hill. both charg-
ed with horse stealing. Hill. who is col
ored, escaped in the afternoon. They
were all awaiting the action of the grant
jury.
The four prisoners were confined In one
cell on the upper tier above which was a
garret. Heavy joist about feet apart
support the ceiling. Between these joists
were other joists, which were broader,
and in most places occupying the entire
space between the regular ones. The
prisoners cut away the ceiling in one
place, but no opening could be found.
They then cut al another point and found
a small opening between the heavy joists
just inches wide. With small knife
they cut into the joist about inch. which
leit an opening Z inches wide and 3 IL
inches long.
Two of the prisoners were very stout
but all managed to push through this
small aperture.
Sheriff Ephraim Haines was out of town
at the time of the escape. The only per-
sons about the jail were Mrs. Haiues and
one or two women. Mrs. Haines was in
the kitchen when she heard a noise, and.
knowing one was at home she ran IN
stairs TO investigate. She heard the men
running away and hurriedly came down
stairs with a lantern. She saw Arbaugh
whom she recognized, climbing down the
tree. She called upon him to STOP but he
quickly got away. Stouffie was in the
meantime coming down. and when he got
10 the bottom Mrs Haines grabbed him
by the collar. calling upon him to stop.
His only answer was a blow, which stun
ned her. The other prisoners had already
escaped.
