No Bible in Japanese schools.

Yokohama. oct. 6. VIA Victoria, g. c.,
Oct. 1S.-The agitation of the missionary
element here concerning the position of
the government in excluding from all
schools every semblance of religious
teaching still continues. Representatives
of the large Christian schools are pre-
pairing memorial to the educational de-
partment. 1t is not to be expected. how
ever. that it will have any result, and
the hope is expressed by many foreign
crs that Japan may be encouraged in her
attempt to be first among the nations to
effect an absolute separation of churcn
and state in the conduct of educational
institutions.

NO NEED TO CLOSE THEM
Mr.. Murray's Plans for Keeping
the Schools Going.
HE EXAMINES THE LAW
In His Opinion Certificates of Ind
edness May Be Issued to the Teach
ers. Payable When There Is
Money in the Treasury.

Missoula, Oct. 1S.-S. c. Murray of
| this city has been carefully studying
the conditions which exist as to Mon
tana school districts under the recent
decision of the supreme court Mr.
Murray has had extended experience
in Montana school affairs, and this fact
combined with his reputation as an
attorney makes his opinion Of much
value. Mr. Murray thinks that there
is no need of closing the schools on
account Of the fact that there is no
money in the treasury this year. His
plan is to draw against the funds
which will be there next year or
whenever the legislature has provided
proper method for the levy of spe-
cal taxes for school districts In
speaking of this matter to-day Mr..
Murray outlined his plan as follows:
Section 1901 of the political code
empowers school boards to transact
all business necessary for mainta lining
schools. Section 1903 provides that any
board of trustees shall be liable as
trustees in the name of the district
for any salary due any teacher on con-
tract and for all debts legally con-
tracted under the provisions of this
title, and they shall pay such liabilities
out of the school moneys to the credit
of such district
Section 1897 empowers school boards
to employ teachers and to fix and or
der their wages. In the absence of any
statute prohibiting school trustees
from contracting with teachers to pay
them at some future date when there
is money in the trea snry to the credit
of the school district, it would seem
that school boards throughout Men
tana need not be alarmed about keep
ing the schools open the usual length
of time 1t has been said that school
boards cannot issue warrants to teach
ers for their salaries unless there is
money in the treasury to pay the war;
rants Or if they do SO they will be-
come personally liable to the teacher
for the amount of such warrant l
have failed to find any statute to con-
firm this view. If, however. this be
true. the school board need not issue
warrant until there is money in the
treasury to pay the same. The board
may issue certificate of Indebtedness
to the teacher each month and when
there is money in the treasury these
certificates could be taken up and a
warrant issued. So it seems to be a
matter which can be adjusted between
school boards and teachers

1t has been a gigantic task for the
handful of Americans here to feed an
army of 1000. to organize for them an
extensive bureau of information and
guard them against imposition, to care
for all the sick, even to the extent OF
taking them into their homes. to furnish

All this has been done. too with a ma

Handsome Behavior of the Americans in
NOkohama.

Yokohama, Oct. 6, via Victoria. B. c..
Oct. 1S.-The 5lst Iowa regiment, the last
of the volunteer regiments to touch at
this port on its homeward way, reached

Francisco. The Tehnesseeans, who form
the extreme rear guard of the returning
troops, are reported as under orders TO
proceed direct from Nagasaki on account
of the urgent need of TRANSPORTATION for
achievements now fastening to Ma
Mia.
The departure of tho Iowa regiment
ends one of the most remarkable features
of the war whether Il be considered in
the light of the irreproachable conduct of
the great army of Americans passing
through, or in that of the patriotic reso-
luton of the little American community

Butte Health Department Accused.

Missoula, Oct. 1S.-A serious charge
is made here against the Butte health
department. 1t is alleged that the
cause of the death of Miss Murton,
whose body was shipped here from
suite for interment, was not pneumo-
ma as was stated in the certificate
that accompanied the remains, but scar
let fever. At any rate, scarlet fever
has made its appearance in the fam
lily which received the body from Butte
and from whose home the funeral took
place. There has been none of the dis
ease here, and the child who is now i'll
has not been exposed otherwise.

SERVANT TO sEwARn.
Aged Retainer Ot the Famous Secretary
 Leaves Fortune.

William F.sDutler, who served wn- liam H. Seward for more than forty years in the capacity of body servant has died in Brooklyn, worth some s75 poo. He was slave in his early life but managed to buy his freedom Com ing to Washington he took a coolshin h a restaurant, where he was when the secretary came across him. There was a certain quaint philosophy about the black man which was charming 10 the white. Butler was with Seward during the greater part of his public career, and on his death had saved sumclent |" 2etire. The tips he had received fte.a h's master have been well tss.o@ed. He purchased land in that ralt Ae capital which Stewards knowledge Of the city led him to be- lieve would soon be valuable. His small investment grew until the sum mentioned above is easily procurable. The fortune Is left entirely to Miss Evangelina 2. Walker. of Brooklyn. Miss Walker is young negress of 19, described as being of light color, as straight as poplar, and of cauca- sian cast of countennce. She was godchild of Buffers, and having lived in the house with him since babyhood, regarded him as a second father. She nursed him tenderly through the last two years of his life, in view of which those immediately interested are prone to believe that she is justly entitled to the bequest. Butler was not mar ried, but has several sisters, who may contest the will. Miss Walker is well educated.

SHORT SERMONS.

There is nothing that Universalism affirms more positively than the in- eyitable and impartial punishment of sinners.-Rev. I. P. Coddington, Uni versalist, Rochester, N. r.
 Character is that which makes a noble life; no life is perfect in which God is not the center of it's being. the ruling motive of it's character.-Rey. ". H. Carwardine, Methodist, Chicago Ill.
 That definition of God which de- scribes Him as pure Spirit carries in it the danger that we may lose our selves in speculative contemplation Rev Dr. Behrends. Congregationalist, Brooklyn, N. I.
 The church that fails to obtain a hearing and impress to noble purposes the people about it is a failure and ought to be reformed or destroyed- Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, Methodist, San Francisco, Cal.
 Zt would be glorious to have one Christian federation. Perhaps in the days that are to come such Christian federation will be made possible. God speed the day.-Rev. Dr. Eaton, Uni versalist, New York city.
 Our ideas of property and economics are burdens imposed on us by the dead. Whitman wanted to live with animals, because mot one of them was afflicted with the mania of own ing things. ."-Rev. B. Fay Mills, Evangelist, Boston, Mass.
 The church will hold Christ as the sovereign authority. All power is given unto Him. Authority is not h reason, not in the church, not in the Bible, but in the imperial Christ Dr. c. H. Combs, Independent, Kan sas City, Mo.
 It is something like blasphemy te ask God to give to the church the Holy Spirit, which He has already given once and forever. What we want is anointed eyes to see the gift.-Rey. F. J. Van Horn, Boston, Mass.
 If we do not keep our souls filled with Gods spirit the devil can enter in and dwell there. We are not con cerned merely with overcoming evil habits, but In building Up active vir- tues.-Rev. pr. Christian, Episcopa- Han, New York City.
 This consciousness of and hunger for immortality are the strongest possible evidences of the fact. The Bible teaches 1t. The Book of Job is a poem of immortality. The Psalms throb with the hope. The prophets ara spokesmen of the other world.-Rev. J. F. Carson, Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N. Y
 Distraction injures the detractoi himself, injures the listener, perhaps awakens in it's victim-for sooner or later he will hear of it-sentiments Of hatred and revenge that will cause him to detract in turn, or drive him even to the crime of murder.-Rev. Father DuBoise R. C., San F. anc,sco. Cal
