careful poll of the House Judiciary
Committee yesterday developed the fact
that all but two of the members are in
favor of reporting resolution which shall
declare that Congressman who accepted
commissions in the military service OF the
United States thereby vacated their seats
in the Fifty fifth Congress.
This action on the part OF the Judiciary
Committee, when taken, as it certainly Will
be very shortly. will leave the places Of
Messrs. Wheeler of Alabama, Colson Of
Kentucky and Campbell of Illinois unoccu-
pied. II will be entirely agreeable to the
provision of the Constitution which forbids
the holding of two places under the Gov
ernment by the same man at the same
time and to the doctrine and practice Of
the Democratic party. 1t Will amount to
justification of the position Mr.. Bailey OF
Texas has taken in regard to the matter,
and which The Times always has indorsed.

Christian Science Murders.

The necessity OF more definite legislation
for the suppression OF Christian Science
charlatans becomes apparent when recent
judicial decisions are considered. In a case
brought before the Court OF Common Pleas
in Ohio the judge decided that the laws
which apply to the treatment OF the sick
are suspended when the Christian Science
person is employed. He held that the
/ rites the defendant performed were
! religious and not medical, and there
fore not within the State medical
law under which she was prosecuted. 80
II is reasonable TO infer that had
this Christian Science woman been an or
dinary charlatan or even regular medical
practitioner the circumstances OF the pa
TENTS death were such that she would have
been held for malpractice. She escaped
because the court held that the rites she
/ performed We're purely religious. That she
usurped the place of 4 physician with the
avowed purpose of treating person actual
| ly i'll. and did 1t for money compensation.
| is not denied. and that owing 10 her lack
/ of skin in the treatment of the sick the
/ patient died is admitted. The decision Of
the court Was based on the Constitution.
/ which guarantees the free right Ia religious
belief
/ II requires no special legal training to
know that the fundamental law refers 10
! religious opinion and not 10 practices and
rites. Indeed, there have been many in
stances in which persons indulging in in
decent Tiies in the name OF religion have
| been seut TO prison. Ii is certain that If
! any sect should claim 20 have divine
message to inllict death on their children
as Abraham was instructed to do, the law
would interfere The principle is no differ
ent when a sect is responsible for rites that
end in the death of human beings includ-
! ing children. When the acts OF It Christian
Science healer. who usurps the place Of the
physician at the bedside. result in the death
of a patient whose life might have been
saved, that healer is as properly subject to
the criminal laws as other persons are who
undertake TO cure the victims OF disease.
| Since the courts evade their duty in this
regard there should be enactments that will
make the duty plain.

A HAPPY WEDDING
The Atkinson-Ralnbow Marriage
 Most Impressive One.

When Paradise was lost to mar one solace was restored hlm. Love the sweetest of the graces-Queer of Eden, followed him in his lont exile and for him made bright the dark highways of life with the sun shlne of her smile. This was Para disc regained.
 Yesterday, June 18th, at o'clock p. m, the rose of Eden boomed for the fairest, sweetest bride that Pine Bluff had to offer 10 a lover fond and true.
 Mss Willie c. Atkinson was mar ried to MT. ". c. Rainbow. The beautiful ard impressive wedding service was touchingly pronounced by pr. Caldwell, while soft music by Miss Gillespie loated sweetly on the fower-perfumed air, whose every note seemed to breathe a harmoni. ous caress to the fair, sweet bride. The service was closed by an i'm pressiye prayer by pr. Carr, who was the first to shower the good wishes of true friends heart upon the young couple and to give the kiss of fatherly love to the sweet girl who had just been changed from much-loved sweetheart to a precious wife.
 Only a few of those friends who loved her best were present to witness the sacred plighting of her troth to the monarch of her heart and many more who loved her sent heartfelt congratulations aud many handsome presents came as messen- gers of love.
 And true friend doth fondly pray that as the Rainbow of old con- veyed to man a message of Gods love and promise of His watchful protection from all life's hurtful storms, may the Rainbow of today be to his fair bride Gods promise of health, happiness and prosperity;

Denmark is said to be the only coun- try in the civilized world where houses of correction for children do not ex- ist. In some of the provincial towns child criminals are put in a peniten- tiary at hard labor. In these towns the judge has not even the privilege of mercy without the consent Of the attorney general. In Copenhagen, however, the magistrate may dis charge a child with reprimand, should he be so disposed. Criminal records of Denmark show that from 1893 to 1897 there were 1,319 trials against 2,162 children. Out of this number 2,O98 were boys and GA girls. Of these, 1871 boys and 61 girls were discharged with a reprimand, while 220 boys were sent to the penitentiary, and girls and boys were sentenced to prison-New York Herald.

THAT CIVIL SER H1eE ORDER.

President McKinley's order ex- elnpting from the operation of the eiYil-service rules about 4,000 posi- tions connot but be regarded by the civil service reformers of the coun. try as step backward. It is rot to be denied that many of the ex- emptions made were recommended by heads of departments having the good of the service at heart. The issuing of the order, however, was a concession to the spoilsmen. aGd will be so regarded, notwithstand- ing that the order is not so far reaching as the spoilsmen desired They want the merit system broken down entirely, and instead of being satisfied with the patronage placed at their disposal by this order are likely to become embodened into making still further attacks. No doubs some of the exemptions made by the president are justified, but many of them are not.
 The issuing of such a sweeping order was not in accord with the views of the civil-serv,ce commits sion. Ia It's report for 1897 the commission said the inten ton of the framers of the law was that compar- atlvely few places should be except ed from open competitive examina- tions. Attention was called to the excepted positions as a growing evil. la that same report the com mission expressed the belief "that the best interests of the service re- qtile that the civil service rules be extended to include the municipal service of the District of Columbia, the force in the library of congress and the clerical force of the next census. ' While nothing has been done by President Mckinley toward extending the civil service rules as the civil-service commission recom- mended, and while the census bu- reau has been organized upon dis tinctly spells basis, the excepted positions of which the commission disapproves have been increased 10 the extent of about 4,O0O places. The friends of ciyil-sprvice reform had righs to expect better things from the present dministration.- Chicago Record.

growing power he gathered the
fruits of victory. And SO ii has
ever been.
Success succeeds. A notable IL
lustration of this truth is furnished
by the great victories won at the

that iron shirt bosoms and
bands, besides two large barrel
shaped washers filled with clothes
whirling about beating the dirt and
solled spots out of the clothes
We found after the clothes had re-

machine and the soap taken out by
the same process, and then they
we're put into a tub-like-metal re-
ceiver which was pierced full Of
holes, and which when in motion
made many revolutions per minute
and this process got all the water
from the fabric, and when taken
out they we're hung into a dry

dried. We found that this laundry
