1t 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 a 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
"revoltlng" to write to 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
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 a
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.

cal advice free by letter, by consulting DIR.

leaders who prefer to divorce the
church from parliamentary strife tO-de-
clare themselves.
The movement was started last
summer by a then unknown book sell
ler named John Mensit, who English
men rated as Americans did Coxey. 1t
gathered momentum through the low
churchistS' agitation. until it now dom
mates public attention The newspa-
pers are swamped with communica-
lions, mass meetings are being organ
lied everywhere and the voters are in
sisting that their representatives an
nounce their views.
How fiercely the people are wrought
up was hardly realized until Mr.. a. j.
BalfOur, the government leader in the
house of commons and first lord of the
treasury, perhaps personally the most
popular publicist, addressing his con-
stituents at Manchester ON Monday
last, endeavored to ignore ritualism and
thresh the stock themes of politics. He
was fairly hOWled down. His auditors
would not be silenced when, in his
suave, diplomatic manner, he attempted
to slide around the subject by remark
ing that no violations of church law
had come to his attention. The audi
ence insisted that he should declare
himself. and the meeting broke up in a
manner very like a state of anarchy.
On Wednesday an influential delega-
raigned him for advocating the estab-
lishment of a Catholic university in
Ireland. He replied that the scheme
did not represent the party, but only
personal views. and said:
1T is a matter of Indifference to me
whether I remain in public life. 1t is
not a matter of indifference if am
prevented from expressing, even
against my own interests, the views I
conscientiously held"
The mass meeting of Wednesday
which was not representative save in
the numbers attending, hooted the
name of Lord Salisbury, the archbishop
of Canterbury and the bishop of Lon
don, and demanded that ritualistic
clergymen be driven from the church
A curiously leading part in the agi-
tation is borne by the non-conformists
and it is also noted that party lines do
not hold, though the majority of the
anti-ritualists are Liberals The high
church Conservatives have issued
blacklist of sixty parliamentarians ap-
pealing to the voters to oppose them if
they support anti-ritualistic legisla-
ton.
The bishops bill, recently framed at
Lambeth palace (for ever 600 years the
London residence of the archbishops of
and the Irish university
furnish the bones of conten-
ton. The latter had the misfortune
to be brought forward when the re-
ligious strife was most heated, and is
likely to have a hard road to travel.

feeling of confidence may be expected
to continue if the Darliamentarians re-
frain from attempting to goad Lord

provoke counter threats from other
powers. Most of the stock values have
attained higher level than in years, and
an unusually large proportion are buy

As most of the manufacturers here
have all the business they want, the
increase in the United States exports
attracts less attention than it would in
ordinary times.
The representative of the Illinois
Steel company Mr.. Holland, speaking
of the steel and iron business, says:
Both the English and American
firms have all the orders they can I'LL
now. When the time comes that there
is not enough business for both, the
English manufacturers, not the Ameri-
cans. it may be predicted, will be the
losers
The papers are daily reiterating their
warnings of the past two months that
American stocks are destined to a
speedy fall.
Society anticipates a brilliant, though
late season. The milliners and modisteS
are preparing for great business, par
ticularly with Americans, of whom
more are expected than for years, on
account Of the era Of prosperity in the
United States. There is an unusual
pressure for presentations at the first

The phenomenal number of transfers

inducing notabilities to sell outright.

Der of very interesting letters from his
son, Major George II. Penrose, who is
now at Manila. Major Penrose was
placed in charge of the general hospital
at Manila, his immediate superior be
ing Colonel Lippincott. who is chief of
the medical department. in che Philip
pines.
The major writes interestingly of the
life in the islands. On Chriatmas day
he gave a dinner to his fellow officers
that was one of the most elaborate
affairs of the holiday season. Major
Penrose had a short time before dined
at a private house in the city, and at
the dinner was much delighted with
the music which was furnished by ma
tive singers. His hostess was Sd pleased
with the compliments he paid her that
she kindly offered to furnish the same
musicians for the majors dinner. She
likewise decorated the table with rare
Manila flowers. one piece of her handi-
work being a centerpiece in the form of
an exquisite battleship. The dinner
was a most pronounced success. a
feature of the menu was a number of
mince pies, made of mincemeat sent to
the major from the states by General
Penrose. All of the guests agreed that
mince pies. parta5en of when the tenn
perature ranged between 80 and so de-
greeS, were a novelty.
The health of the troops in Manila,
Major Penrose states, is unusually
good. The Utah batteries are notably
the most rugged and healthy organ
izations in the islands. The greatest
difficulty which the medical staff has
to contend with is the smallpox. The
natives do not seem to fear it at all,
and ii is only with much trouble that
they are kept in quarantine when SUI
fering from the disease.
Major Penrose says that his own
health has been splendid since his ar
rival at Manila The climate seems
to agree perfectly with him, and he has
increased in weight from 125 to 40
pounds.
