A CHURCHMAN'S PROTEST.

Allow me to call public attention to
what seems to me a very important sub
ject. 1t is the improperly of allowing
women to partake of the Lords Sup
per, now generally called the sacra-
ment, in all the churches. 1t is only
necessary to read the account of the
institution of this sacred memorial by
the founder of the Christian religion
to see that only men were present on
that occasion. 1t is not worth while
here to consider whether the omission
of woman was intentional or only be-
cause according to the custom of that
age and country, the Master and his
disciples, after engaging in public min
istry, met in the upper chamber to
partake of their last meal together.
Suffice it for us to note the great evils
that have resulted from the presence
of women at the sacrament.
Step by step, since this pernicious
practice was permitted, women have
been leaving the seclusion proper for
that sex. What do we see to-day?
Women teaching in Sunday and secu-
lar schools, women forming societies
under every sort of title to usurp the
functions of man and do the work of
the world. Do we not see women act
ing as home and foreign missionaries
for the spread of the gospel to every
land and to every creature? AS might
have been expected, these irrepressible
apostles of progress are now even at
tempting to become members of the
vestry, as in some organizations they
have invaded the pulpit. What posi-
ton will be left to preserve the dig
nifty and power of man If this thing
goes on?
1 protest against such perversion Of
the place of sexes. AS a radical change
is needed, I propose that we return
to first principles and prevent woman
henceforth from appearing at the sac
ramental table.
The misguided females sometimes
misquote the Biblical phrase, male
and female created He them and gave
them dominion" and claim that it was
the d ne design that men and women
should work together in every depart
ment of human interest. 1t has been
urged that as men and women were
placed together in families, so they
should jointly strive for that larger
family, the church. Some of the adj
vocates of female assistants say that
woman was last at the cross and
earliest at the tomb" and should there
fore be entrusted to labor everywhere
for her Lord.
Away with such sophistry! Let us
not listen to it for an instant. but go
at once back to the fact that no women
were present at the first sacrament 1t
was "a fatal mistake ever to admit them
to it. Yours faithfully,
VESTRYMAN.
The proposition to elect some women
as members of the vestry of Christ
Church, Lexington, KY, was recently
made by Miss Laura Clay. At meet
ing of the Guild, the question was dis
cussed and decided in the negative.
Many of the arguments used by the
opponents of women for the vestry are
the same urged by the churchman above
against the admission of women to the
sacrament. ORA LANGHORNE,

BELLAlRE.
Budget of News Items From the Bel
mont County Metropolis.

Yesterday a new lot or colOred men
arrived to work on the B. G o. grading
west of the city. The force at that
point now has reached very consider
able proportions and an immense
amount of work is being done with ex-
petition. A big change is being made
in the tracks there and the big cut will
rectify the grade and the general shape
of the road very considerably. Judg-
ing by the number of men engaged at
the work the company is determined to
push it to completion without delay.
The police were kept busy Monday
night trying to apprehend the parties
that did the robbing at Relmont. The
man thought to have gotten the Money
and valuables amounting to $3.50 was
supposed to have come toward Bellaire
and Officers Shannafelt and Travis were
detailed to watch the incoming freights
The first train brought in one passenger
of the kind that takes side door sleepers
and rides without tickets. but he was
evidently not the man wanted. The
second freight, which arrived few
minutes later, had aboard two we'll
dressed chaps who were promptly taken
into custody. Each carried revolver
and a pocket full of change, but Meth
err answered the description of the al
legged Belmont robber. They were
looked upon, however, as suspicious
characters and were made to put up for
their appearance The real burglar, it
seems, did not come this way. or if he
did, he was cute enough to leave the
train at point west of the yards.
Last evening the party Of Bellaire
people who spent the summer in Ire
land, returned to the city, after an alb
sence of something like three months.
All are in good health and the appear
ance of each individual member OF the
party confirms the statement that their
time while absent has been passed IN
pleasant places. The Getty of Rome
on which the return trip was made was
delayed off the coast of New Found
land by coming into the region of an
iceberg, and great precaution was nee
essary to prevent coming dangerously
close to the moving mountain OF ice.
On this account the vessel was day
late in reaching New York. The mem
bers of the party are, Samuel Melon
aid, Miss Tillie Mcdonald, Mrs. Samuel
Mcdonald, ST., Robert Brown. Jas.
Stewart, Joseph Clemens, wife and son,
and Miss Rose McGivern.
Last evening a pitiable case came to
the attention of the police. A woman
neatly clad and accompanied by two
small children arrived in the city IN
search of the husband and father who
is said to be coal miner. The woman
said she hailed from the Monongah
coal region up in Pennsylvania and had
come to Bellaire to meet her husband
but had been unable to locate him.
She understood he was employed at
mines below this city and officer Key
ser placed the wanderers aboard a
street car and sent them down to
Pinch Run, thinking the much wanted
husband might be found there. The
woman gave her name as Mrs. John
Thompson.

Yesterday a member of Company e,
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment stopped
off in the city short time, returning
to his home after a brief visit to his
friends at GAINESVILLE. He is not in
love with soldier life in the Philippines
and would not again volunteer for such
service under any circumstances. Like
most soldiers, he is not much in love
with the government rations, especial
ly the brand that is dealt out in those
far-away hot countries. He says the
Filipino is deceitful fellow and will
make all sorts of pretentions to ones
face and then turn around and shoot
at you.
The Independent is evidently hard
pushed for argument when it grabs at
straws to save itself from utter rout
and defeat in it's extraordinary effort
to besmirch Council Citizen" does
not speak for Council and it is a per-
vertion on the part of the Independ-
ent to make it SO appear. Citizens"
views are exclusively his own and the
new company nor any member of it is
in any way responsible for the state
ment that the new firm could not ex-
ist without city patronage. If "Citi-
ZEN were as unfair in his argument as
the Independent, he would repeat some
things the people are saying about the
estimable editor at this particular time.
1t is generally conceded that he does
not believe the things he prints in his
own paper, but is acting the part of
the paid attorney for the company in
whose behalf he speaks. We do not
use this as an argument, however per-
tinent it might be, for we deplore the
mud-slinging methods of the Union
street organ in controversy which
should be free from personal bile.
Since the Independent is an expert at
putting questions it might answer a
few. Why is it opposed to having two
electric light plants in the city in
stead of one? Why is it opposed to
new city building. and why does it
cast aspersion upon the citizens com
mittee for recommending the purchase
OF suitable property? If the editor
doubts the motives of Council. hasn't
the public the same privilege to cues
ton the animus behind the editors
quill?

There can be no mistaking the hearty

trip was taken for well deserved vaca-

thing of a triumphal procession. Be-

Vulnerable delegations invited the
gallant admiral to stop off to visit their
respective towns, while nearly every
city, village and hamlet along the Bur
lington Route from Chicago to Denver
requested the pleasure OF entertaining
him. The only place where he made
visit of any duration was at Omaha.
There he remained week, the guest of
Charles F. Manderson, general solicitor
of the Burlington railroad. While In
Omaha he resolved marked attention,
the public and the private receptions
given in his honor being the greatest
ovations witnessed there since President
McKinley's visit last year. May 25 was
