Browns in Town.

In these days of too suggestive come
dy bearing the trade mark of Paris, it is
gratifying to note the success OF play
that is both American in authorship and
theme. Browns in Town" is the title
OF the new farce which will be the at
traction at the Park opera house.
1t is by a new author, is without the
least suggestion Of vulgarity, decidedly
humorous and is an unquestioned sue
cess. That all this can be said OF dis
tinctly American comedy is something
on which to congratulate the theatrical
patrons OF this country in these days OF
degenerate dramatic productions.

sp..ro., Pu.i.hins Corn Thieves.

Near the village of Half Day, Ill.,.
lives a one-armed man named Lester
Mowers, who has large field of corn.
Mr.. Mowers corn had scarcely ap-
peared above the ground when a band
OF crows swooped down upon it. They
hoped gleefuliy up and down the
rows, pulling up the delicate green
blades with their beaks and eating
the seed kernel that still clung to the
corn. Mr.. Mokers set scarecrow in
the field, but these crows were evil
IDENTIFY old hands at robbery, for they
utterly disregarded the ragged senti-
mel Then he tried shooting at them,
but a one-armed man is not half as
quick as a crow and he failed to kill
or cripple a single one. They would
ny clumsily away at each shot, jeer-
ing and 'haw-hawing" in derision, re-
turning as soon as he had left the
field. Finally a colony OF sparrows
came and started to build nests in a
thicket near the corn. Hardly had
the small couples made their summer
housekeeping arrangements before
they began to drive the crows away.
Every black robber who came into the
field was set upon and pecked vtgoY-
ously, the sparrows following him q
quarter-mile to administer punish
ment thoroughly. In week a visit
from a crow was a rarity. Mr.. Now
ers replanted his corn and now throws
4 handful of bread crumbs to the
sDarrows each morning.

CHICAGO STRIKES INCREASE.
Mayor Harrison Biames Both Unions
and Contractors.

Mayor Harrison Blames Both Unions
and Contractors.
Frank Riepol, non-union Chicago la
borer employed by the Western Electric
Company, was probably fatally injured
by four men, supposed to be union pick
cts, who assaulted him, one after the
other, as he was gong home from work.
The men were not arrested. The Build
ing Contractors Council announce that
the men employed on the Western Elec-
trio building will be housed and fed in
the same manner as those employed ON
the Merchants Loan and Trust building.
All Of the prominent members of the
Contractors Council are protected by po-
lice. Many are also carrying revolvers.
Police Inspector Hartnett supplied them.
1t is claimed that the police heard Of
plot to assault some Of the members of
that body. Officers in citizens clothes
are closely following these men to pro-
tect them from injury.
An attempt by the contractors to bring
labor from other States to work on Chi
cago buildings was foiled Monday when
the union pickets intercepted twenty
Italian workmen imported from New Or
leans and persuaded them not to go to
work at the Western Electric building.
The men when they arrived at the build
ing were met by a delegation of their

countrymen, and after parley were led
away. The prospects of working behind
a stockade and in fear of violence from
union pickets was also factor in getting
them to desert.
Mayor Harrison says that the labor
unions, contractors and material dealers
are all wrong, but that the workingmen
have the least to answer for. The Mayor
says that the reports of labor troubles
are keeping people away from Chicago.
He adds: 1T is argued that the labor
unions constitute trust Why, the ma
terial men and contractors have been the
parties who have formed the trust To-
day not a single thing is bought by the
city but we run up against combination
controlling the needed article. l know
men who have sent orders from outside
points and had goods reshipped to this
city at cost less than they would have
TO have paid in a direct purchase. This
thing has gone so far that we have or
dered city purchases shut off as far as
possible. We will try the Eastern mar
kets"

HILLS is NOW OUT.
Noted Preachers Resignation Accepted
by Chicago Presbytery.

A<otcu ETedChcT . NcsISuHtiOn Accepted
by Chicago Presbytery.
Newell Dwight Hillis is no longer a
member Of the Chicago presbytery or the
Presbyterian Church. The name of the
Brooklyn preacher, who dared to re-
nounce the confession of faith of that
church, was erased from the role OF the
presbytery at its weekly meeting Monday
morning. DR.. Charles III. Parkhurst of
the Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
New York, has joined DR.. Hills in his
opposition to the Westminster confession
Of faith and in his sermon Sunday he
said things which provoked comment.
Apparently these two divines are far
from being alone. There are frequent ac-
cessions to their ranks, ii being announc
ed in Cleveland Sunday, by way of illus
tration, that Rev. :. r. Sprecher and
Rev. Paul Il. Sulphen, delegates to the
Presbyterian general assembly, would
favor the adoption Of a shorter creed.
The demand for u new creed is pointed
out by some as showing the trend of mod
ern thought in the church, and it is evil
dent that those favoring the action will
be satisfied with no minor changes. They
will ask for new creed-a short one
and the question will be one that will
make the coming conference Of unprece-
dented interest.

Cleveland's Lecture.

Mr.. Cleveland is eminently fitted to
instruct Princeton students how TO cut
loose from the Senatc's apron strings
Nashville American.
Mr.. Cleveland had Congress on his
hands at times when he was President.
In his lecture at Princeton he had Con
gress on his mind. -Pittsburg Chronicle.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland in the
first of his two Princeton lectures on
the independence of the Executive took
ground which hardly conforms to Ad-
mral Dewey's idea that a President has
nothing to do but execute the laws Of
Congress-. s.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
1t was a thoughtful exposition of the
place of the Chief Magistrate in our
scheme of government, and while proba-
bly, finding no part of its inspiration In
recent pucrile estimate of the duties
and responsibilities of that high office,
came almost as a rebuke Of that extraor-
binary utterance.-New York Mail and
Express.
That Democrat of so great ability as
Mr.. Cleveland should publicly advocate
change in the method of electing Pres
ident which would ignore entirely the
State lines and make him the choice Of
the majority of the voters, regardless of
the choice of the States, indicates how
far the national idea has progressed and
how far the idea of federation of SOW
ereign States has been forgotten Brook
lyn Eagle.
The presidency, to reach the level of
its highest usefulness must be strong
and independent within the limitations
which the constitution prescribes in con-
nection with the office. THE lndepen-
dence of the Executive was illustrated
in most interesting and conspicuous
manner by Grover Cleveland for eight
years. There is no man better qualified
than he to discuss that instructive topic.

MORMONS IN CANADA.

Spread of the Sect Is Alarming Do
wiuiou Officials.
Canada is becoming seriously alarmed
at the rapid spread of Mormonism in
some parts of the country, especially in
the northwest The Mormons themselves
claim to be increasing in the Dominion at
the rate of thousands per year, and, ac-
cording to Quebec correspondent, assert
that within the last year they have
brought in over 1000 emigrants from
Utah alone.
IL this is continued Canadian public
men fear that they will shortly control
large sections of the country. As the
bulk of the people in southern Alberta
have come from Utah, and as the Nor
mons have so thorough an organization,
it is dawning upon the country that they
may become a serious menace to the
State, especially as there is "A grave sus-
picion among their Gentle neighbors that
polygamy is practiccd secretly by these
Canadian Mormons.
Many of the leading elders in Alberta
assert that poygamy is ore of the chief
privileges Of the communion, and it is
asserted that in some cases the privi-
lege has been held out as bait to would
be adherents of the bascr sort.
Outside of Alberta and the other north
west provinces of Canada the Mormons
claim to have no fewer than 10000 men,
bers in the province of Ontario. The
leaders or ''evangclists" of the church en-
deavor 10 obtain footing in new centers
by posing as ministers Of the gospel.
They profess at first to follow Christ and
the apostles very closely and keep the
peculiar doctrines Of the Mormon church
very much in the background until they
gain the confidence Of their converts.

The exposition is planned on vaster
scale than any previous one with the sin

some previous fairs, have any occasion to
blush for the exhibit this country makes
at Paris. With the exception of France
itself we have the greatest number of
exhibits, numbering nearly 1000 in all,
while Germany. the next in number, has
only about 5000, and England only about
a third as many as Germany. The Unit
