SURPRISES SOCIETY.
RECONCILIATION of Robert r. Brown
ing, of Venice. and His Wife
Was Unexpected.

Society is still talking with surprise
about the reconciliation of Robert Bar
rett Browning Of Venice, and his wife,
Who was Miss Fannie Coddington, Of
New York city, which took place re-
Gently during a chance meeting while
Mrs. Browning was travelling abroad.
It was believed that Mrs. Browning,
who since her separation from the only
son of the great poet and still greater
poetess, had lived the life of a religious
recluse in New York city, had deter
mined to devote her entire life to char
liable and religious purposes. Her
husband, too, it was thought, had re-
signed himself to be welded only to
his art for the balance of his life.
Now, it is said, they will resume life
together in the quaint old Venetian
palace, a legacy from the artists IA
Their, and which is filled in every nook
and Granny with memories and SOU
venirs of the elder Brownings. They
went there to live soon after Mr.. Brown
ing's father died, in 1883.

as follows:
'The main purpose of the proposed
war college for the army to be estab-
lished in Washington, is in general to

growth, it is desired that the prelimi-

shall be taken as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit ~
I'm the general plan now under con-
sideration of the war department, the
army college will be expected to con-
slider and report upon the various
questions affecting the welfare and Of

armament, equipment, transportation,
supplies, mobilization, concentration,
distribution, military preparation,
plans of campaign, and such other pro-
fessional matters as may be referred to
it. The college is also expected to su-
pervise and direct the methods of the
several service schools, so as to develop
their highest efficiency, and to devise
rules for the harmonious and effective
cooperation of all the military forces
of the United States, including the Or
ganization of an instructed reserve.
Other matters demanding it's atten-
ton will be the consideration of meth
DDS for full cooperation of the military
and naval forces in time of war, with a
view to a thorough understanding and
concert of action for military opera
tons, defensive and offensive"

military arm of the federal government
in all states and territories may become
necessary under circumstances similar
to those engendered at Chicago in 1894
at any time. Therefore the standing
army should be large enough to afford
protection to law abiding citizens in all
the populational centers Of the republic,
whenever their property and lives may
be threatened by riots, mobs and
anarchy. Those citizens who intend to
abide by and observe the law desire it to
be maintained at all hazards. When
the constabulary of the state and state
militia fail, they wish the federal
military to interfere and prevail. No
one need be afraid'of the soldiers of the
United States, who intends to keep the
law and to give obedience to the govern
ment and it's authorized agents as good

suits from plenty.
Governmental poverty is a positive
good-an empty treasury a national
safeguard. A surplus inspires benevo-
lent congressman to give away the
peoples money to favored interests in
the form of bounties and subsidies.
Were it not for the surplus of revenues,
because of excessive taxation, United
States senators would not now propose
giving away 100000 a year and
obligating the government to pay over
one billion during the next thirty years
to prosperous and well to do shipowners,
nor would congress agitate the expendi-
ture of over 5000, 900, 900 to construct an
isthmian canal. To remove from
spendthrift congressman, an apparently
irresistible temptation, the income of
the government should be materially
reduced. When the government has
only enough money to meet legitimate
expenses obliging statesmen have moth
ing to give away.

astounded by the insistence with which
Colonel Bowlby, and other economists
and publicists of the populist persuasion,
declare the rottenness of the politics and
the exchangeability of the ballots of the
great mass of Bryanarchists. Is all the

loads of young evergreens.
Each car conveys two hundred bundles
and each bundle contains six specimens
of beautiful trees which fifty years hence
would become useful lumber for human

Four hundred times two hundred

to build hundreds of commodious cot

the current fiscal year at 115 millions of
dollars. But for the same time the
military establishment of the United
States will cost 140 millions of dollars.
During the same period the navy will
cost 60 millions, and pensions will
amount to 142 millions.
These figures indicate that war is
more expensive than peace and that we
are paying out much more money for
the purpose of being able to kill people
than we are to maintain large indus

administration of civil government.
No one disputes the necessity of
larger standing army for the United
States than was necessary quarter of a
century ago. The federal army has
been used to put down riots where the
state authorities failed to subdue them.

1894. Each house of the congress of the
United States, and the supreme court,

DISCRIMINATION. Payne, as reported


DISCRIMINATION. Payne, as reported
on page 239, near
the top of the second column, in the
Congressional Record for December II,
1900, is capable of making the incest
economical and moral determinations
between express companies and railroad
companies of any of the erudite states
men, discussing the one.cent tax on
receipts for express packages and for
railroad freight. Mr.. Payne says:
"The railroad corporations have paid
these taxes up to this time without i'm
posing it upon their customers. 1t
comes from the railroad company while
express companies claim that if they had
to pay one cent for every package they
carry, the compensation being compare
lively small it would drive some of
them into bankruptcy and prevent
others from paying the usual dividend
which they pay on the stock of the
company. In other words, it would
be very detrimental to business and so
they were forced to charge it to their
off their express receipts and left it on
the railroad receipts"
From the foregoing, Mr.. Payne will be
first and foremost to advocate taking the
tax off railroad receipts as soon as the
railroads recharge the same to their pa
irons. Mr.. Payne seems to forget that
the average express company is a vam-
pire which feeds upon the railroads and
upon the public. There is no reason
why there should be any express COM
panies outside of the several lines of
railroads in the United States, and Mr..
Payne evidently forgets that he is pam
pering middle agency when he favors
express companies, the life of which de-
pends upon the amount they can squeeze
out of consumers on one hand and COM
mon carriers on the other.

Stage and Division of the Hand

Taken Place.

African Methodist churches are hav-
ing their troubles elsewhere, as we'll as
here. The local church is without a
preacher as the members feel they cam
not stand the luxury. They declare
they can get along better without one,
at least till their debts are paid. In
Youngstown the colored people are hav-
ing troubles with their preacher. The
Telegram says;
A difference of long standing between
Rev. L. w. White, pastor of the A. NJ.
E. church of Mill street, and a numbe,
of his parishoners has resulted in a
division of the congregation and the
organization of new one. The dis
senting members will hold services for
the first time tomorrow in the old Epis-
copal church on Mahoning avenue.
The new congregation is composed of
SO of the most prominent members of
| the A. M. E. church, including the choir
and deacons. or about half of the en-
tire membership of the church. They
make open charges against the pastor
and have made every effort to have
him removed. At the last conference
of ministers a representative was sent
| to Steubenville, the conference city,
with a petition for the removal Of Re,
White. The petition was disregarded
and Rev. White was returned. The
members finally took it upon them
selves to organize and secure a minister
| of their own.
Since the conference Rev. White has
received a number of threatening let
ters as has also his wife. who lives in
southern Ohio city. The minister
showed the letters to local lawyer and
asked his advice upon the matter. The
lawyer referred him to Detective Moyer
who in turn told the minister to report
the letter writing to the postal author
tiles. This he says he will do, but has
no hopes of ascertaining the identity oi
the writer.
