diugs thar Bishop Doane has been
making at the annual Episcopal Dioce-
san Convention at Albany. Speaking
Of marriage and the need Of protecting
it, he calls for more solcmnity in the
solemnization Of matrimony The senti-
ments Of the prayer-book seem to him
not at all in keeping with 'the excite
ments and extrayagances that precede
weddings. the crowds Of irreverent spec
tators that profane the honse Of God
with display, gossip and curiosity, and
the violence which exposes TO noto-
riety the man and woman who have
a right to timely privacy and peace
There is some gddiness about we'd
dings to be sure, though it viii not seem

DECORATION DAY.

The L. r. X. of p. did com
mendable act in acceding to the
wishes of the G. A. R., and chang
ing the date of their ball from
May 30th TO another time.
Throughout the state there has
been movement instituted by
the Grand Army of the Republic
to have Memorial Day observed in
n manner consistent with the pur-
poses for which the day was firsI
set apart. The wrong use of holi-
days is becoming more widespread
in the United States.
While the eagle is screaming on
the 18th of July it is "A fitting tin e
for races and sports of all kinds.
Decoration Day, however, is sup
posed to be held sacred to the
memory of the soldier dead, and
the day should be spent in man
ner that would indicate the real
spirit of the day, rather than by
bicycle races, balls and the like,
now so commonly held on the
30th of Nav.

it would seem better that the hand
leap be declared off. and that the
choice of guards be vested in the

MRS. GEORGES LECTURES

During the trial of Mrs George
for the murder of George Saxton,
public sympathy was with the wo-
man. not, perhaps. because there
was general belief in her inno-
ccnce of the crime, but because
the history of Saxton's nefarious
practices filed the people with ut
ter disgust and with the thought
that the country was better off
without such men as he was. But
this fact does, in no way. mitigate
the fact of their liaison. and does
not make Mrs. George n pure wo-
man 1t is this feature in her life
that makes it impossible for the
public 10 accept her us a platform
lecturer. The Ministerial Alliance
of East Liverpool, Ohio. yesterday
passed resolution. saying that
the lectures of this woman, who
is shumelessly haunting her con
fcssed guilty life III the faces of
the virtuous, should not be sup
ported
The position of these men is well
taken, Mrs. George is guilty of
shameful crime. She deserted a
man, against whose character no
W rl could be truthfully spoken,
for an unprincipled, vile libertine,
who made it his business to ruin

Cuba's DepIarai'e Plight.

Jacksonville, Fla, March lG -
William Willard Howard, general
manager of the Cuban Industrial
Relief Fund of New York, passed
through Jacksonville on his way
home from Cuba, on his way north
to purchase agricultural implements
and seeds for the use of the indus
trial relief station which he has Just
established at Guines, Cuba He
reports the condition of Cuba really
worse than it was at this time last
year, when he made the first investi-
cation. The fields are vacant and the
farmers idle. The people still re.
main in the towns and cities, where
army rations are issued to them.
