Statistics of British rmigtants.

Statistics just issued by the Board of Trade show that during 1899 total of 241, ,405 emigrahts left Great Britain. as compared with 205, III in the previ- ous year. The greater proportion Of this increased outflow Of 36,000 con- sisted of foreigners. How eyer; these were birds of passage" numbering e0,000, compared with 60,000 in 1898. The number of British emigrants was over 5000 in excess of that in 1898. and it is remarkable that this was wholly due to an increased exodus from Ireland, 5000 more persons of Irish birth leaving last year, prac- tically all going to the United States, while the English emigrants were 5000 fewer or the total number of British emigrants, viz, 146,777, no fewer thaL e2, 532 were bound for the great fie- public, an increase of 22000 as com pared with 1898, and 16,451 for British North America, a decrease of 1,20G, Australia received 11,478, against 10,- 693, while the outlook of war so seri- ously checked emigration to South AIIlCd ludG JIlS nuluUeE QtClfuSO 1fOLU l9,75s in 1898 to 14.5eo last year.
 Thier's GIe~rrness.
 We do not remember to have seen ior a long time more curious case of thief's cleverness than that which was recorded at Clerkenwen. solomon Buffer, who, with companion. waa convicted of burglary Tn a jewellers shop, managed to conceal two diamond rings in spite of the most thorough search by the police, and COD ptrived to pass one of them away to ais wife when he was in the cells, putting it into her mouth by means Of his tongue ~hen kissing her." The other he kept under his tongue all the time he was ander arrest, and It would probably never have been found at all if his companion had not exposed him in court. and so induced the judge ta order careful inspection of his mouth.

DECLINE OF cHuacH-ooiNo'
Two Reasons why People Do Not s'
 fo Service.

The pulpit used to be the cnle1 means of instruction and of inteliectual and moral S mutation for the people The pulpit orator was the peoples VI ator. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power ID thts te gard. says Popular Science. The oaiis and weekly press have greater lhnu- ence in public instruction. me hioAei- plication of cheap books also taAes from the pulpit large snare oI its III fuence in this regard. Oratory ID iesls- latiye bodies has to great extent Iost its influence. Its place has been taKen by simple, compact, time-saytng state- ments, often printed but not oel1Vereo. Committees do the work which usea to be done after discussion before the public, So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen erations. They demand short, crisp ser mons that bristle with points ana are practical and helpful. In other Woros, the oratorical and highly intellectuai character of the pulpit, which used to attract worshipers, no longer aetraets them. They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multi tudes of people can nc longer be ins duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his Judgment on topics of the time. or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this IS ye-enforeed by the fact that multitudes dislike the doctrines of the church and resent them when they are preached, we can easily understand that church attendance should decline very greatly from this reason.

Women Not covardly.

When eowardice is desc4 ibed as leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of harmless mouse, but they court death several times year. 1t IS one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. haye known wom- en who were timid to G degree. under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroiRas under the pressure of occa' sioa. A woman who shudders at the sight of small cut from which blood oozes will often exhibit marvellous courage in a shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reck- lessness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble.

henfuckian Thought the Episcopal Pre-.
 late PiaIn Man.
 Not long ago Bishop Dudley of Ken. lucky went to preach in ! little town in the western part of the state. where there are no Episcopal churches, and only one, in fact, of any other denomi- nation. Tae people are unfamiliar with any but the plainest and most simple church service and entirely un- accustomed to the vostments which the Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of the "only church, "a good, conscientious narrow minded man, hearing that the Bishop was coming on a certain Sun. day to preach at the courthouse, told some of the pillars" of his eongrega- tion that he hoped they would not de- sert their own church to hear the Episcopal service. On the appointed Sunday what was the pastors surprise to notice half of his flock absent, and upon inquiry he learned that the court house was thronged with the villag- CTS. The next day he met one of his chief supporters, whose accustomed seat had been vacant at the weekly service, and the pastor questioned him as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The man replied that he had gone 10 hear Bishop Dudley. What" replied the clergyman. Desert me to hear tna. pompous prelate!" You're mistaken in the man." answered the culprit Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre- late. He preached in his shirtsleeves." ]" Louisville Courier-Journal.

The palace is filled with panel pic- lures and verses, all written by the queen, or painted by her gifted court ladies. The great dining hall is orna- mented with tall panels il1ustra ang the principal works of Carmen Syfyas novels, romances and poems. The rom Is very som1er, being furnished with black oak and eordovan leather, and lighted only by stained glass windows, brilliant in color and representing court balls. wedding banquets and other royal festivities, but neverthe. less they prevent the sun from ne- trating the gloomy grandeur ot the apartment This is why the queen, ho loves beauty and harmony. strictly for bids the wearing of black or dark dresses at her table. She prefers a uniform to conventional evening dr ss, and does not shrink from fancy dress if it be gay and pretty. The que Is ladies in waiting are chosen from the prettiest and cleverest girls in Roumania, and several fine musicians and talented amateur actresses and artists are sc be forad among them.

There is one utterance of Lin
coins that Mr.. Bryan is not likely
to quote. 1t was made in 1868,
when the Democratic leaders pro-
tested against sending Vallanding-
ham across the Federal lines to
the Contederacy, and Is as follows:
''He who dissuades one man from
volunteering or induces one sol
der to desert weakens the cause
as much as he who kills an Amer
ican soldier in battle. Must |
shoot a simple-minded soldier boy
who deserts, while | must not
touch hair Of willy agltator who
induces him TO desert? This is
none the less injurious when eff
iected by getting father or moth
er or friend into n public meeting
and there working upon his feel
lngs till he is persuaded to write
the soldier boy that heis fighting
in bad cause, for wicked ad-
minlstrat1on and contemplate
government. | think, that, in
such a case, to silence the agita-
tor and save the boy is not only
constitutional but withal great

OF the Bent county delegation, as
we have no candidate from this

Otero county having had the sen

Death of Hrs. M. B. Humphreys.

Died at her late residence in this city last Sunday morning, at ? o'clock, Mrs. Nary Belle Humphreys, age 5S years. The remains were inferred the follow ing Monday at 2:30 o'clock, in the Roy ECemetery. ' miles north of this city, the Rev. ". c. Davidson, of the Methodist .hurch. officiating.
 The death of this excellent lady, who l aimed wide circle of friends in this .ommunity, WAS the occasion of univer- sal regret and sorrow, as was evidenced " the large number who followed the remains to their last resting place, des bite the gloomy and inclement weather The funeral cortege from this city left ibout II o'clock and arrived at the cem- eiery about l, where it was joined bv a :oncourse of relatives, friends and ac- quaintances from Telico and Johnson townships, who had come to mingle
 heir tears of sympathy arid coincidence with those of tbe,bereaved family.
 The scenes incident to the perform .nce of the last sad rites and loving tributes to the memory of Mrs. Hum- phreys will ever remain fresh in our mind. In witnessing the bitter grief Df her children two stalwart boys and 4 lovely girl, in the persons of Messrs- Tom and Drew and Miss Emma Hum. nhreys,l we were forcibly impressed with the words of the Apostle, that ''It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die" How earnestly then should ve strive to make our lives snch as will be acceptable unto God, that we may cherish hope of meeting our loved ones who have gone before.
 Especially heartrendipg and agoniz. ing was the pitiable grief of Miss Elm ma, and the words of comfort and con. isolation from maRy friends were of frred in vain. Nothing could assuage her grief or paIliate her sorrow. and strong men turned away to hee their tears.
 THE TIMES is sincere in extending sympathy to the hesrt-troken girl and her two brothers. We commend them to Him who sustains us in all great trials, and who gives us the precious promise that if we will only trust Him He will heal all our earthly wounds and bind up all our sorrows
