THE CHURCHMAN'S LEAGUE.
Changes in Constitution and Other
Matters Considered.

About 125 members attended the meeting
of the Churchman'S League held at Trinity
parish hall last evening. Changes in the
constitution creating the additional offices
of assistant secretary and assistant treas
urer, making the treasurer a member of the
executive committee and dropping out the
March meeting, Were adopted unanimously.
Provisions relating to the league dinners,
which have never been acted upon, were
stricken out.
Rev DIR. T. S. Childs presented a sugges-
ton from. tie convocation of Washington
that the league help struggling churches in
the diocese, and urged that committee be
appointed by the president to take the mat
ter into consideration which was agreed to.
Mr.. James Lowndes of st. Johns parish
then delivered an address on Parish Boun-
diaries in the District of Columbia, Past
and Present" Mr.. Lowndes said he had
been requested to speak on this subject be-
cause he had made some researches in the
preparation of his portion of report to
the diocesan convention covering the
ground. Many interesting facts relating to
the formation of the first parishes were
brought out by the speaker.
The successive divisions of territory were
graphically described, and it was shown
that the growth of the church has been
steady all through the years and that no
backward step has ever been taken The
subject was illustrated by the uses of pic-
lures and pamphlets.
A large chart giving the parish lines in
colors, prepared by Captain II. b. LOCKER,
surveyor of the District, was also used by
Mr. Lowndes in explaining his remarks.
Mr.. Lewis j. Davis, the president related
some stories of early times He was fol-
lowed in the same strain by Mr. W. A. Me-
10y. Dr. w. p. Young, Mr.. s. w. TuIloch
and Mr.. VIM. A. Gordon
Mr m. b. Orme, chairman of the NOM
nations committee, presented forty-nine
candidates for membership. All were elect
ed. '

ments, and an opportunity was given for

ACCUSED OF PETIT LARCENY.
TWO North Side Young Men are Arrested
for Taking Some Money.

George Argenant aud Fred Wei
mann, two we'll known young boys of
the North side, were arrested this
morning by Chief of Police O'Hare on
charge of petit larceny.
About two weeks ago the two boys
were riding on an electric car from
Racine to this city. Conductor Arthur
Pu11ock- was in charge of the car.
When the car reached this city the
conductor left the car and went out to
see that it was properly placed upon
the switch. While he was out of the
car young We1mann found his pocket
book containing some $28, on one of
the seats of the car. The boy took the
money and left the car.
AS soon as the loss was discovered
the conductor instituted a search for
the boys, and when he found them it
was learned that they had divided the
money. All but So was returned to
the conductor. The boys had hear
ing before Justice Slater this morning
but no action was taken in the case.
The District Attorney is not disposed
to prosecute the case against the boys,
on account of their age and family
connections, and the case will be left
open pending their good behavior.

ing compelled to see that no 1ittle
puppies run about the streets without
tags and that the street lights burn
once in a while, could not be expected
to keep themselves informed of min
or attractions of law. AS a conse-
quence the police have not been able
to discover that there are actually a
few saloons and gambling places that
are mean enough to take advantage of
the overworked condition of the
minions of the law. But just the other
day an attorney brought to light the
fact that there were such things going
on and kindly gave the police the bene-
fit of his information and even pointed
out the exact location. Of course the
police was very much surprised and,
probably after the shock of the an
nouncement will conclude that it is all
a joke. But they have the clue and it
will not be strange if the people expect
them to do something about it.

FELL FROM A CAR.
Mvron Kidney Meets With Bad Accident
While at work in the Rail Road Yards.

Myron Kidney, an ernp1oye of the
Northwestern railway company met
with very serious accident last even
ing while performing his duties of
Waterman in the yards of the company
in this city. When he was making
his usual rounds the Waterman dis
covered that there was a board broken
off of one of the cars and as it threat
ened to cause trouble he climbed up on
the car to loosen it. The board fell
before the Waterman had anticipated
and striking him knocked him from
the car to the ground below. Here he
lay in an unconscious condition for
some time and later he was found by
another employee of the company. He
was taken to his home on Garden ST.
and DIR. Farr was called to attend him.
His injuries were found to be of very
painful but not dangerous nature. His
body was badly bruised by the fall but
as no bones were broken he will be
able to be on duty again in a short
time.

! AT last Great Britain seems to be
aroused to an appreciationsof the true
status of affairs IL the Transvaa1 and
the imperative necessity of making
supreme effort to subdue the Dutch.
The press is fully awake to the crisis
and is not inclined to n1ince matters
nor spare English pride by painting
| the situation in less sombre co1Ors than
the occasion requires. The Times
commenting on the situation says:
"Neither the Cri1nean war nor the
Indian nutinY gave rise to greater
dangers to the empire than that with
which we are now menaced nor at either
of those critical periods was Great
Britain so isolated politically or re-
garded with such dislike and suspicion
as are now almost everywhere appar-
ent. Unless the ca1mness which i'm
presses the foreign observer proceeds
only from apathy or want of suffi-
Gent imagination to realize the i'm
minent danger to the whole fabric of
our empire the great efforts now ur-
gently required will now surely be
made before it is too late to retrieve
the situation. We are fighting not
merely for supremacy in South Africa
but for Our position as a great
power"
1t seems that the truth of the above
has been brought home to the govern
ment. Great Britain is preparing to
throw her whole available strength
into the balance against the little col
the reserves will be called out and a
strong force of volunteers selected
from the yeomanry regiments will be
formed for service in South Africa.
Baron Roberts, the pride of the Eng
1ish army, will be given the chief COM
mand, and Kitchener, the hero of the
Soudap, will act as his chief of staff.
The whole galaxy of Great Britain's
most brilliant generals will represent
the Empire in the fight with old Dom
Paul. This indicates the supreme
anxiety of the English at what she
rightly regards as supreme crisis.
But time must e1apse before this added
strength can be brought to bear. In
the meanwhile still farther disaster to
English arms is painfully imminent
and the effects of farther successes Of
the Beers upon European powers TN
friendly to Great Britain will be
watched for with intense interest by
the world at large.

TEE Congressman of the State o,
Wisconsin were among the first to de
clare themselves for the present
Speaker of the House, Henderson
when the question of successor to T
B. Reed was brought up. Our Con
;gressmen acted as unit in the matter
and it is no doubt largely owing tc
this decisive and immediate action on
the part of the Badger representatives
that the Iowa man made successful
bid for the gave1. AS a consequence
the committee appointments make a
different showing of Wisconsin 1nen
1han they did when the Gar was in
the chair. The hostility of Reed to
certain Wisconsin representatives was
universally acknowledged and the re-
suit was that some of them, particular
Iy Congressman Cooper of this district,
were deprived of certain hOnOrs that
ananifestly belonged to them. Now, how
ever, the state of affairs has changed.

acknowledgement of his ability. The

FAKE PURE AND SIMPLE.
Charles H. Lee, of Racine, Denies Story
Recently Published in Kenosha Paper.

A few days ago one of the papers
in Kenosha mot the NEws) published
a sensational story in regard to the
old foreclosure suit of the Taylor Or
phan Asylum VS.. Crosby, ct al. In
speaking of this article Charles H.
Lee, of Racine, makes the following
comments.
''The absurd story from Kenosha,
printed in yesterdays Journal, con-
tains just one item of truth, viz: that
have brought a foreclosure suit
against the Crosby property in the
town of Pleasant Prairie Mr.. Fox
does not state in his cross bill, nor
is it fact that "the property was
transferred to his wife before the fl
ing of the mortgage" held by the asy-
1um. On the contrary, Mr.. Fox has
for some time been paying me the
interest on that mortgage out of his
own pocket to protect his own subse-
quent claim, and his cross bill asks
simply that he have, in my suit, fore
closure as to his claims also, and that
he be paid the surplus after the mort
gage is satisfied. There is no sensa-
ton in the case, no Interesting deve1-
opments,' - and no picnic for the enter
prising Kenosha reporter. Yours
truly, CHARLES H. LEE

TIE discussion raised by the New
York Times as to the origin of the
quotation Cleanliness is next to god
Iiraess'', which Ambassador Choate
.ascribed to the Bible, has called forth
tVTo letters to that paper referring the
passage back to the Ta1mud. The
fact seems to have been overlooked by
Bartlett in his Familiar Quotations..
1t is uot altogether strange that the
quotation should sometimes be ascribed
SO the scriptures, for the volume of
Hebrew traditions and commentaries,
EcCua which it comes is older than some
parts of the Bible. 1t first appears in
the EBeraitha" as the last "Mishna"
oF a@Sota", chapter TX. 1t is afterward
faaz1d ia other Hebrew works, from
ONE of which that learned rabbi, DIR.
Bettelheim, gives the following trans
1aEon:
Phinehas ben Yair says: "The doc
er1ues of religion are resolved into Tor

zmto nervousness; nervousness into

ZION TO BE NEAR KBNOsHA
Dowie Will Build Town Between This
C1tv and Waukegan

A telegram to the News from Chi
cago says: "The Chicago Journal in
it's edition this afternoon will say"
"'The City of Zion,' for the con-
structing of which John Alexander
Dowie has asked his followers to give
him ST. 100000 by the first of the year
is to be founded, it is said, just north
of Waukegan. Options are held on al
most 4 ZOO acres in Benton township,
and it is thought this is to be the site
of the city of which Dowie has dreamed
and preached.
''The land secured is the choicest in
Benton township and the total cost of
it, according 10 the price agreed upon
in the options, will be almost $3.50, 900.
The city planned by the overseer of
Zion will not only be se1f-sustaining,
but will also produce revenue. Dowie
expects to apply for state charter,
and is said to have declared that the
town will attain population of 10000
in short time. According to his de-
scriptions the City of zion,' wherever
built, would be the finest model town
ever built.
'"The options on the land were Sc
cured by E. D. Whee1ock, who, how
ever, refused to say whom he was rep
resenting. Confirmation or denial of
the report could not be secured from
Dowie himself, but his SON declared
that work on the City of Zion would
soon be begun, and left the impression
that the tract of land in Benton town.
ship may be the site of the town."

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Delivery Horse Creates All Kinds of Excite.
ment on Main Street at Noon.


The most exciting time which Main
street has experienced for many moons
occurred this noon in the way of a
runaway accident. The delivery
wagon of the Fidelity laundry was
standing in front of the laundry, when
the horse of an apple pedd1er named
Hannis, living in Racine, ran away
and dashing down Main street ran into
the one tied at the laundry. The 1aun-
dry horse was badly injured and with
ing in pain, started to run away. It
cantered up Main street and breaking
the thi11s of the wagon made circuit
of South Main street. At one place it
ran up on a porch and when it was
turned down town again by the resi-
dents of the house, the horse, urged on
by the broken thi11s pushing into it's
body, created quite panic.
The men were coming home from
work and when the horse reached the
corner of Main and Wisconsin streets,
it ran up on the sidewalk and for the
next block everything gave way to the
running animal until it was finally
captured near Harman's saloon, 1t
was badly injured and it is probable
that it will have to be killed.
Luckily, the horse and wagon of the
peddler escaped serious damage.

FRANK AVERY's DEATH.
Correction of Some Misstatements Con-
corning it.

corning it.
Later disclosures show that there
were number of misstatements in the
account of the death of Frank M.
Avery, vice-presidert of the Chicago
Brass company, published on Thursday
morning.
A statement was made at that time
that he called at the Lancaster hote
on Tuesday afternoon, did not register,
but told the clerk that his name was
Charles Williams. That he called for
stationery to be sent to his room, and
in the evening gave a be11boy two let
tiers to malone a bulky one, being
addressed to a woman, and a lighter
one addressed apparently to Avery's
father.
All of these statements prove to have
been untrue. Mr.. Avery did register
His name was Frank Morris Avery,
and he registered as "F. Norris"
without completing the signature. He
called for no stationery and wrote no
letters.
The article in question also said that
Mrs. DIR. Billings had made some
statements respecting certain troubles
of Mr.. Avery's. This was palpably
untrue, since there is no Mrs. Dr. Bill
liugs, DR.. Billings being a widower.
The evidence seems to be conclusive
in support of DR.. Billings assertion
that Mr.. Avery died from natural
causes, since in his room when found
there were no traces of medicines or
powders indicative of suicide.
Under the circumstances the en-
ba1n1ing of the body on Tuesday after
noon seems to have been natural and
proper, and the intimation that there
was undue haste seems to have been
unwarranted.-Chicago Record.
