Could a girl that IS good and smart in
everything but spelling become a member
of a Protestant order of DeacoLesses? Wee
Blossom.
Perhaps. Judging from your sample, your
spelling will not debar you, but here are
some of the requirements Of the Baptist
order. Their idea of the office of deacon
ess is that of lone solemnly called of the
Lord to His service" and the ordination of
a deaconess is looked on as "a setting apart
for life exactly as in the case of a minister"
a deconess is not forbidden to marry, but
should only marry in the Lord with full
recognition of the prior claim which He has
upon her life and service, and only with the
assurance that she has His approval in so
doing" Most of the deaconess' work is in
nursing or teaching, and her courses of
study cover a two years residence at the
Deaconesses' Home She has no salary but
receives merely her support and a small al
lowance to cover necessary expenses. She
wears the costume of the order, and works
chiefly among the poorest Of the poor.
Please give some simple rule for the use
of commas and semi-colons before the words
and and but. '-Denison.
1t is difficult to give a rule that will cover
common sense. its purpose being to make
the meaning of sentences clear. This rule is
set down by one authority, however 1.-The
comma should be used before a conjunction
introducing an antithesis or a clause in
opposition to one preceding. as in chang
ing from affirmative to negative. Examples;
Authors should punctuate carefully, and
not leave it for the printers TO do Print
ers may try to make a sentence clear by
punctuation, but they cannot so clarity one
that Is badly worded. " The same authority
requires comma after each but the last of
a series of words or phrases each OF which
is used in connection with what follows.
This would often bring a comma before
conjunction as in this sentence: Writers,
printers, and teachers should know our lam
guage better than they do" Many good
writer's and many printers, it must he said,
however. would omit the second comma in
the above sentence. In the same way many
writer's would omit the semi-colon between
the two final clauses of a sentence, in which
the preceding ones had been separated by
semi-colons. For example: The following

Gainesville, Tex, was killed in row
with hotel walters at the Barker hotel

yesterday morning people in this vicinity
wero greatly frightened by what was
thought to be q disastrous explosion at
the works of the Repauno Chemical Com
pnny' across the river at Thompson s
Point. Rumors were soon ailont that
many people mad been killed. 1t was soon
ascertained, however, that it was false
alarm. the explosion being only an in
territorial burning of some waste. AL
though the noise WAS loud. no damage
was done and no ono was Injured.
The Repauno Chemical Company is ono

a tract Of one thousand acres, all Of which
belong to the company.
Police Officers Newton Taylor and
Clarence Cain were out on the river FISH,
Ing when the eyp oslon occurred and not

OF their belief, but say thai from what

days eliminated in mutiny yester-
day. Nearly 60 of the Chinese crew
were in open rebellion against the cap
tain and his officers. A battle ap-
peared imminent at one time, and was
only averted by the cool nerve of the
ships first and second officers, who
stood in the face OF the angry celes-

items FROM
new CASTLE.
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,

August II, 1899.
Road Commissioner Thomas Grier
stated to the wri'er last evening that the
loose stones on the road between Whining.
V6n and New Castle will be taken up just
as soon as men and money can be secured.
Since tho present Commissioners went in
to Office they received only $500. The sum
Of sl9o was spent and $40 retained to pay
| the men who worked loading and unload
| ing the slag. There are over u, 900 Of out
| standing bills contracted by the former
Road Commissioners and ano:e for 81, 600
coming due this month. This sl,C0o was
borrowed to pay the men who worked at
the opening of the roads last winter when
they were blocked with snow.
The city of New Castle owes 5000 to the
Commissioners and 1t will owe an addition
al $500 In about three months.
The reason the Stag has not been covered
and the loose stones picked up Is that tho
farmers will not give their teams and the
men will not work on the county roads
when they arc not paid for 1t. and with
the Road Commissioners heavilyin debt
the men cannot tell when they will gst
their money.
This statement Is given because there
has been considerable unfavorably COM
