 One of the most important advances In chemical work in England in recent wears, described by Consul Boyle, of r o1o decomposing common salt, with the re- suit of producing soda and chloride of lime at very cheap rates. The same method is being applied in the manu- fracture of otber chemicals.

 If Ex- Governor Hogg knows Boss Croker as he thinks he does he knows pretty good man. MT. Hogg says; DO you know Dick Croker well? You should. There is a man whose heart is as pure as child's and whose mind is as clean as a mind can be- Do you know that he Is consistent Christian? I know that at midnight every day Richard Croker offers humble prayer for strength and guidance, have known him for years, and intimately His thoughts are always pure. No man has ever heard him make an obscene or profane remark. He never uses foul language. Do you know why he resigned the City Chamberlainship?

The Polish books and manuals used in those places | have been confiscated, and it is under stood that severe measures will be talk en, for the prevention of such unlawful f acts in the future. This intelligence , has been received with great sadness , and discouragemen by the many , Polish communities in southern Rus , sia
 The Rev. Dr. w. s. Rainsford, of New York, said at an Episcopal gath ering in Philadelphia on Wednesday. The Church is not fitting herself to new conditions. The people don't want her, because away down in her soul she don't want them. Our clergy are mar I row and ignorant If we are going to f
