The government of sweden. through
its statistical department, has com
piled a tabulated statement of the
number and distribution of telephones
in use throughout the world-the COM
pilation including 1896 1896, 1897 and
1898 records. The growth of telephone
communication is well illustrated in
this. The number of Instruments in
use in all countries Is given as / 1888, :
16S-or, approximately, one for every
1000 inhabitants Of The earth. The Uni
ted States naturally leads, with nearly
7730O0 (the 1896 record, with Germany
in second place, recording ISL 900. The
total distance covered by the wires is
/, sos, 500 miles. OF course, when the in
habitants of barbaric countries, like a
large part Of Africa and OF Asia, are
from the calculation, il is
likely that we have at least one instru-
ment for every 800 Inhabitants of those
parts of the earth where the telephone
system is known and used.

service was rendered. There was a
short address by Rev. Edward M.

Charles Gounod, whose magnificent an
thems and reverential themes are used
so often in church music. The chorus.

Europe.
Great Britain presents a vivid con-
trast between the potency of civic and
military fame, To put it badly, Glad
stone dead is quoted at 100000 in the
memorial market; while Kitchener alive
easily commands 8120,000. The promot-
ers of the Gladstone memorial, who eX-
pected to secure 100000 to establish
libraries in the principal cities, through
popular contributions, are greatly de-
pressed at the results of the appeals to
the people. After several months these
appeals have only resulted in collect
ing one-tenth of the sum desired. But,
in the case of Kitchener, who dazzled
the empire with the laurels of a day
spent in moving down thousands of
savages by the perfection of military
discipline and machinery, the British
climb over one another in their eager
ness to pour money into the college for
blacks" otherwise the Gordon Memoir
al College at Khartoum, to educate a
people they have never seen in a coun-
try they never cared for, as a tribute
to the conqueror.
The Gladstone fund, however, win be
made up by wealthy men who will glad
ly give their money, but who are griev-
ously chagrned at the lukewarmness of
the people who called him leader and
whom they expected to contribute spon-
taneouSly.
When the conservative churchmen
who persisted in shutting their eyes to
the theological controversies, read the
headlines in the Times and Spectator,
Crisis in the Church of England" they
were compelled to recognize that the
agitation against the mass and con-
fessional" started by Konsit and car
ried on by Harcourt, had come to a
pass depaandinr settlement. The bishops
being finally driven to grapple with the
problem met at Lambeth Palace this
week and discussed the policy of issu-
ing a manifesto. While the deepest Sc
crecy surrounds the proceedings, 1t is
said that it has been one of the bitter
est conclaves in the history OF the
church, as it certainly was one Of the
most important, and that dt has result
ed in an agreement to present a bill to
parliament for a revival of the church
courts. 1t provides that disputes must
first be brought before the diocesan
court, consisting of the bishop, assisted
by theological and legal adviser. An
appeal therefrom Will be possible to the
provincial court, consisting of the arch
bishop and six assessors, and, as last
rest, to five lay judges appointed by
the crown.
Mr.. Joseph H. Choate, the new am
bassador Of the United States to the
court of st. James, will be warmly re-
ceived in London. Already the Ameri-
can society is arranging for a banquet
in his honor to give an opportunity to
the American colonists to meet the
ambassador face to face. There will be
a bombardment of requests for after
dinner speeches as soon as he is in
stalled.
Householders here, regarding the
American ambassador necessarily as a
gold mine, are sending to the embassy
numerous offers at twice the rentals

Judge Hagner's Order in Case Affect.
ing Custody of Children.

Justice Hagner, late yesterday afternoon
in Equity Court No. /, announced his de-
cision in the case of Augusta E Wilson
against Posey S. Wilson. He overruled the
motion made by the defendant to have Mrs
Wilson punished for alleged contempt in
removing the two children of the couple

Wilson's petition, with costs.
Some time ago the complainant obtained
a divorce from Mr.. Wilson, and by the

was given the complainant, with permits
sion to the defendant to see them for sew
eral hours each week.
The children were sent away from the
city last summer and their whereabouts
concealed from the defendant, VINO filed the
petition referred to, and secured 4 rule 70
show cause against Mrs. Wilson. The lat
ter, through her attorneys, Messrs Lam
bert and Lambert. filed answer to this
embracing charges against the defendant
and asking the court to reScind the order
allowing the defendant to see the children
Justice Hagner, in dispostng of the mat
ter, modified the former order allowing
the defendant to see the children by re-
strtcting his hours to between and B
o'clock Wednesday and Saturday after
moons, and limiting the continuance of such
order to November 1, when permission is
given him to apply to the court for an ex-
tension.

convention of the American Federation of
Labor will be held at Harmonic Hall, in
the city of Detroit Mich, beginning at 10
o'clock Monday morning, December IL, 1883,
and continuing until the business of the

AT the present time, when industry is
recovering from the severe depression to
which it has been subjected for so many
years; when the labor forces of our land are
making strenuous efforts not only to re-
store the standard of wages which former
ly prevailed, but to improve the conditions
of labor in a commensurate degree with
recent great advances made in industrial
invention, aggregations of capital and mas
terry over natural forces, 1t behoOves u.s. the
pioneers of the mighty organization Of
labor, which is now assuming distinct pro-
portions, to meet in solemn concave and
resolve upon such measures as may seem
best calculated to consolidate the trade
union movement and thus hasten the grand
work upon which the future civilization of
our people inevitably depends.
