WHISTLES AND MARRIAGE.

This is an age of much complaint by good
peoplc over the looseness of the marriage tie.
The low conception Of It's sacredness which bad
laws and worse social tolerance have spread Is
n frequent subject Of pulpit denuncation and
not without reason. The foundation OF any
healthy society Is purity Without II the State
and the Church are poisoned Mt the fountain
Frequent divorce unions which are marriages
ONLY by the courtesy of tongues that have lost
the habit of frank speaking and are educating
minds out Of the habit Of honest thinking can
not fail TO degrade the standard of purity and
cheapen the whole moral fibre, not merely Of the
persons who sin against true marriage. but Of
the whole community. who accustom themselves
TO the lax conditions and grow to regard them as
normal II is the fashion to lay this evil at the
door of secularsm. To say that people have be
come Indifferent TO religion and therefore to mo-
rality But does the whole fault belong there!
How can the married have robbed the institu-
ton of It's sacrcdness without some help at least
from the clergy who do the marrying and
remarylne? THE COngregatiOnallst' frankly
raises this question of the share Of the clergy In
promoting the evils they deplore. 1t declares:
The responsibility for maintaining the sane
tity Of marriage rests to large extent with
which they know He cannot bless they degrade
the institution on which more than on any other
the integrity Of the State depends II they con-
sent to join in marriage persons of whose his
tory and fitness for marriage they know nothing
and take no pains TO find out. they make them
selves liable TO dshono- the Church they repre-
sent and to do violence TO public morality.
We have been informed that clergymen have
sometimes been persuaded TO continue In igno-
rance of facts they ought to know. and to off,
ciate in doubtful cases by the offer OF a large
fee Any man who thus prostitutes his office for
a bride ought 10 be deprived of his ministerial
standing.
Nobody who faces the facts Will. think.
say this Is overdrawn. The vast majority OF
the marriages in this country are made before
cergymen. II those marriages in the first place
are made in ill-cOnsidered haste. In thOnghless-
ness and irreverence. the ministers who otficiate
have something TO answer for II subsequent
relations which violate the laws Of morality, and
perhaps OF the State. receive the countenance Of
the Church and are made respectable In the
eyes OF the guilty parties and Of society by the
complacency or the recklessness Of ministers
who prostitute the offices of their religion 10 the
blessing of vice. what wonder that low view
of marriage prevails? Too many ministers are
ready 10 say the Hateful words Of n marriage

TRYING TO LET GO.

Not often does the Democratic party have
so much sense addressed to ii by any Of its
local leaders as has been recently embodied in
an open letter by Judge Tuley. Of Chicago

leader Of the Chicago Democracy, he addresses

change has been an artificial and wicked en-
hancement Of gold in market value and that
payment Of old debts in precisely the money
which could lawfully have been used in paying

defeating the dishonesty Of gold bugs" As
a practical matter. 1t Is not likely that either
of these modes will be adopted The appeal to
the cupdity of the mine owners will hardly be
dropped. because the party needs campaign
fund. and the appeal to the dishonesty OF West

without inviting the Populist party TO do bust

GILL MURDER.
Second Week Of the Trial
of Nancy Guilford.

Bridgeport, Conn, March 27.-The
second week and the fifth day of the
trial of Dr. Nancy A. Guilford. who is
charged with murder in the second de-
gree for the alleged death of Emma
Gill, opened at 10 o'clock this morning.
DR.. Rosenbluth, the dentist, of South
| ington who was on the witness stand
! for two and a half hours on Friday.
was the first witness at this mornings
| session. DR.. Rosenbluth submitted in
evidence his office record book, which
showed work he had performed on the
teeth of Emma Gill, the entries IN all
the cases being made, he claimed. on
the day he did the work The books
show that one tooth was extracted on
July ], 1897, and that the same tooth
was filled some months later. That
was due to a clerical error, Mr.. Rosen-
bluth said.
DR., Rosenbluth said that, notwith-
standing the clerical error in his books
he was positive that the teeth that he
saw in the cemetery were those of EN-
ma Gill and the ones that he had
filled. He submitted in evidence a
chart showing the condition Of the
mouth of the dead woman and the stu
alton of the teeth as he saw them at
the cemetery.
At this afternoons session, John F.
Campbell, a Southngton newspaper
man, and Dr.. Maurice f. Sullivan of
SOuthingtOn, testified as to the identi-
fications of the body of the murdered
girl as those of Emma Gill Medical
Examiner Downes was the only other
witness during the afternoon, and he
was still on the stand when the court
adjourned at O'Clock until 10 q. m. to-
morrow,
Dr. Downes' testimony was in the
main technical Attorney Fessenden
asked the witness to describe the surg
iCa work performed on the body, but
the defense objected TO the word surg
zeal. After the form of the question
had been altered, DR.. Downs said that
a sharp knife and d sharp saw, with
small teeth, had been used and that
the person who cut the body up had
some knowledge of surgery, was quite
apparent. He took portions of the or
gans to New York, where they were
examined by Prof Jeffreys.
On cross examination the medical
examiner stated he had taken the brain
heart, lungs and other organs and ex-
amined them on the afternoon of Sept.
l13. The brain was found to be con-
gested, a condition always found in
diseases producing high temperature
Both lungs were also found congested
in the lower lohes, and during d very
close cross-examination said that no
other cause than septicaemia could
have producee such a congestion. In
order to hepatize so, the lungs must
have been filled with poisoned blood
In this particular case he was uncer-
tain whether a criminal operation had
caused septicaemia. He admitted not
! having examined the mouth for traces
of poison. His cross examination will
be continued tomorrow.

WORKING IN DARK.
Two Commanders Tell Their
Difficulties to Alger.

Havana, March 27.-Secretary Alge1
says that his rather hurried visit to
Cuba need not be considered as having
special import. He wishes to get into
personal touch with the current bust
ness Of the islands government and to
talk with the generals who control the
various military departments. In this
way he expects to gain more vivid i'm
pressions than would be possible from
any official correspondence.
Moreover he will be able to get some
rest and to enlarge his notions OF
west Indian geography. Thus far his
experience has been busy, instructive
and entertaining. He received callers
on board the ingalls, before o'clock
TINS morning, and at he met the com
manders in Gov. Brooke's drawing
room at Ell Vedado. A conference last
ing three hours followed.
AT the morning conference, which

House Reconsiders Boston
Liquor License Bill.

Boston, March 27.-Boston liquor IL
censes were the theme for debate in the
house today and took up the bulk OF
the time.
Friday the house voted adversely on
a bill to provide that the number of Ii
quor licenses in that city shall not in
any case exceed 1000. Today the vote
was reoonsidered and the bill was pass
ed to be engrossed after a long debate.
AT present Boston has one license to
every 500 inhabitants and there are now
1888 in force. Next year the census will
be taken and in order to head off the
hundred or more extra licenses which
would result from the census the bill
was put in. 1t was brought out pretty
clearly that Boston has about all the
saloons she can support even with the
aid OF the thirsty folk from Cambridge,
Maiden and other no-license places,
winch surround the hub, and also that
the habit of the board of police in IN
nlctlng nearly all the saloons upon two
or three sections of the city is not well
rellshed by the people of those locali-
ties. The vote was almost on party
INES, the republicans favoring the bill
and the democrats opposing 1t.
