The decision OF Mr.. Justice Kekewich OF the
Chancory Division in the case OF the st. Saviour
Gate Chapel. York. Is interesting as containing
q judicial declaration that Unitarlarism is a
form OF Christianity. Originally a Presbyterian
house OF worship. the meeting house after q
time became a Unitarian Chapel. 1T was
weli-known matter OF history" said the learned
Judge. that the Presbyterans In En- gland did
become Unitarians For some reason or other
the Presbyterian lapsed into the Unitarian
sect No one had asked him to say that this
was such departure from the trust deed that
he could now prevent the use OF the building
asa Unitarian chapel, But then It was said
that OF late IL had passed from Unitarian
chapel Into a chapel Of an entirely different
character What was said was that by some
means or other, not only had Unitariauism-
which WAS admittedly form OF Christianity
departed. but teaching known as ngnostic, ir-
religious and athsstic had been adopted in
this chapel" While condemnine the use Of
the building In furtherancs OF agnosticism. as
forbidden by the trust deed. the court refused
to grant an Injunction because II appeared that
the present min lister, although he described
himself OH tn" witness stand as Christian
agnostic," was acceptable to the congregation.

SEAL ROCKS.

Reed, of No. 1922 West Twenty seventh
street. Very quietly, but with relent-
less commercial persistency Miss Reed
has been laboring to accomplish cor
ner on the Maltese puppies as foun-
datiOn of the monopoly. Miss Reed be-
lieves she has effected the corner, and,
moreover, has done it more thoroughly
than Joe Letter engineered his famous
wheat deal. The idea of cornering the
supply Of Maltese puppies was sug-
gested to Miss Reed some time ago by
the fact that the Vanderbilts and AS
tors had adopted the Maltese terrier
as family pets. 1t Immediately oc-
Cured to Miss Reed that it would not
be long before all the rest of the fash
ionables would be looking around for
the same style of dog to be conven-
tionally in line with the fad set by the
powerful leaders. Maltese pups that
formerly had a strict market value Of
SIS are now quoted at $50, as a prelim-
mary result of the corner, and the quo
tations are expected to reach $780, The
tone of the market in Maltese pups is
firm, with active trading and an up
ward tendency. Miss Reed has her
kennels on farm near Hampstead, l..
I. She believes that she has thorough
ly cleaned up all the available supply
of Maltese pups. How many she has
gathered into her corner, she, with
characteristic business shrewdness, de-
clines to state, saying that it is part
Of well-directed business concern not
to divulge the extent of it's resources.
