Church Record in New York.

According to todays New York World
the Rev. DIR. Houghton, rector of the Lit
tie Church Around the Corner, talked with
some freedom yesterday about the alleged
marriage of Carrie -B. Clifford to Col. John
T. GaynOr. September >, 1890. by the Rev.
Oliver S. Prescott.
"A newspaper has stated" said DR..
Houghton, that have been going through
the church books ever since Mrs. Gaynor
No. / came forward with her claim that
she was Col. GaynOr's wife That state
ment Is not true. l was first informed of
the GayuOr complications Saturday last
when my office was locked and l could not
get at my books. Sunday L would not do
so. but Monday L took the matter up
The church books are so systematically
10 BRING the book containing the marriages
Tor 1850 l then turned to September of
that year and under date of the I'd of the
month / found the record of the marriage
OF MISS G-nord and Col Gaynor in the
handwriting of Father Prescott himself"
Dr. HoughtOn was asked if he would not
give the names of the witnesses to the
marriage. out of justice to a woman whose
reputation was az stake, and to a man
whose personal liberty might be involved.
In justice TO both sides [ can go no fur
ther than | have. was the reply. Il cam
not cOnSCientiOuSly throw any more light
on this subject. Should 1 ever be requested
Dy a court of competent jurisdiction to pro-
duce my books | shall of course do So But
unless such contingency arises | must per-
slSt in my refusal 10 say anything more"
DR.. HOughton did not think it especially
strange that Father Prescott had failed to
send u copy of the marriage record to the
bureau of vital statistics
Nine years ago." he said. the law re-
sardlnS such matters was not as strict as
at the present time, and there was much
greater laxity in the observance of it. So
that there is really nothing surprising in
Father PrescOtt's negligence

(" STOP THIEF!"

It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief" and so putting the public
on false scent.
There is certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. "Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clamor of "write to a woman"
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice:
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is Just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain medi-
cal advice free by letter, by consulting DR..
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. AS an expert i'll
the treatment and cure of female dis
eases DR.. Pierce takes the highest rank.
In over thirty years experience he has
treated half-a-million women and of that
great number ninety eight per cent. have
been perfectly and permanently cured.
Each letter is held as private and its con-
tents guarded as a sacred confidence.

CONTINENTAL CRITICS ANSWERED.
a british Defense of the Campaign in
the Philippines.

The London Daily Mail this morning dis
cusses the situation in the Philippines un-
der the heading Americans and Their
Critics. and says editorially:
The news that the American army Is
with the least possible delay to be raised
from its present figure of 5000 men to
10000 and that General Otis is to be
strongly reinforced, shows that the United
States government is determined to make
a prompt ending of the insurgent Filipinos'
resistance.
1t may seem strange that so great and
powerful people, with its enormous finan-
claI resources and vast population, should
rot have rapidly subdued the F'ilipinos
This is the view generally taken by preiu-
diced continental critics, but the view is
not a sound one.
The Spaniards required 10000 regular
soldiers to subdue the instruction of 1886
Z, when the Filipinos had had no chance
Tor drilling or arming, such as the war of
last year gave them. Otis forces have not
yet reached that figure. He has had to
grapple with all the new problems of a
struggle with uncivilized enemies in a from
zeal climate ard unfavorable ground
The Filipino is fighting at home. AguinaI-
Go mas not TO drag tediousIy through rice
swamps hundreds of wagons and tens of
guns.
Other Nations Experience
car and our own experience in pacifying
Burmah recall to our minds the fact
which has been forgotten on the continent
that this kind of war is always a tedious
and protracted one.
1t is curious that Aguinaldo does not
realize the complete futility of the game
he is playing. The Tagals whom he leads
are only one out of thirty distinct tribes in
the archipelago and represent only one
fourth of the population.
1t is certain that their victory in the
struggle, which is wholly impossible. would
only lead 20 more or less protracted civil
war among the Fflipinos. They could not
maintain order and uphold their ndepend-
ence against the European powers, which
would be attracted by the scent of prey.
They have been offered a full measure of
government by the Americans They
have nothing to gain by fighting, and moth
ing to lose by submission, but the unfortu-
nate fact about tie Asiatic is that he lacks
the faculty of logic"
