The Russian bishop OF Alaska has

tory, in which he says:
iIr the name of humanity, of justice

for the sake of which you declared war
against Spain-will you be acting coz
sistently if while waging war for the
liberty of Cuba, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines for their human rights you
ignore all these things at home, in a

AS Mr.. Mckinley goes to church reg
ularly, he has often heard that the man
who doesn't provide for his own house
hold first, is worse than heather, and
the bishops letter may possibly remind
him OF the biblical truth referred to.

and two bottles of beer on the bar and

mirrors were broken and general ha-
VOC was wrought. The baboon had
his own way until the head of the
troupe arrived. The baboon later was
