CASE OF REV. DR.. SCHELL.
1t Will Soon Be Considered by the Ep-
worth League Board at Control.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Feeling among
Methodists is very strong over the case of
the Rev. DR.. Schell. the present general
secretary of the Epworth League. The
meeting Of the board of control of that or
ganiza tion to be held at Cincinnati Nov. D.
precaution was taken at Indianapolis last
summer TO simply adjourn pending the call
Of the president, not to adjourn sine die.
The emergency has been brought on because
Methodists do not consider the action of the
board sufficiently positive and drastic
Bishop Ninde does not, in his call. intimate
to other members of the board the nature
OF the business TO come up. but it is known
that the members expect something definite
TO be done in the Schell case. Heretofore IT
has been thought that he would be permit
ted to complete his term. Present indica-
tons are that he may not be. General Sec
rotary Schel draws his salary as editor OF
league publications, not as an officer of the
board of control. What he does TO earn
this salary is we'll known, but the distinc-
ton just mentioned Is made In order to
comply with technicality in Methodist
regulations. In knowledge OF this technical
ity DR.. Schell accepted pay for editing a
song book used largely by leagues and by
MethOdists, the pay coming from the pub
Usher Of said book Furthermore he en-
along the same line. When the board
learned OF the circumstance its members
disapproved it, DIR. Schell made full breast
of the matter at the indianapolis meeting
last summer. The board carefully refrained
from expressing an opinion upon the moral
act. because the annual conference and not
the board is the proper body TO pass on that
phase. Methodists are not little stirred up.

THE FRENCH PRESS.
Its FouIness, as Demonstrated I'm the
Dreyfus History.

G. W. Stevens. in Harper's Magazine.
The degradation OF politics and OF the
army has been equaled by that OF the press.
France has never had a journal-unless we
except the Temps and the present incarna-
ton of the Matin--which an Anglo-Saxon
public would call a newspaper; but then
she does not want one. She has had jour
nails which supply what she wants-well-
considered and elegantly written essays on
the subjects OF the day. Such she still
finds in organs like the Figaro and the
Journal des Debats: but in the lower ranks
OF the press the fatal influence of the Drey-
fus case has told vilely. American papers
appear 10 an Eng.ishman free spoken in
their attacks on opponents; but the cheap

recklessness, gullibility and foulness OF the
