 CHURCH AND CLERGY.

Six out of every 1000 marriages in Great Britain take place in Jewish syn agogues.
 The Lnthern general synod of Min nesota has barred out all members of secret societies from membership in the organization.
 Members of church in Buffalo will take roomers and boarders during the Pan-Ansrican exposition and apply part of the proceeds to clearing up the church debt.,
 Ground was recently broken in Brooklyn for the construction of what will be the largest auditor for Sun day school purposes in the world. The building will adjoin Bushwick Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, of which 1t will be part. Within a few years tis hoped to build new church, which will conform in architecture to the new Sunday school building. The building just begun will cost s5o,o ,oo0.
 J. Pierpont Morgan is very busy man and his time is, of course, enor- mously valuable, but he always man ages to attend the Episcopal general convention and has not missed one for many years. This year the convention will be held next October in San Fran cisco. The splendid Crocker mansion there has been placed at the disposal of Mir. Morgan for use during the con- yention s6

RIvETS BY THE THOUSANDS.

All the plates of the Lawson boat independence are on, with the excep- ton of those at the tuck, up in the turn of the bilge. There are seven of the plates of the shear strake in place, and the only plates remaining to be put up are those of the top bronze strake, which comes at the bilge.
 The gunwale bar is in place, with the exception of the piece at the bow which will be V-shaped, the apex, or that part at the stem head, being riv- eted together, and that part of the bar which extends across the counter at its after part. This will be a fanged plate, with T half-inch beading. It will be in one piece, and to it's ends at either side will be riveted the end of the gunwale bar which runs for ward and aft. About a dozen of the intercostal plates, to which the bilge stringerS will be riyeted, were put in between the frames recently.
 An idea of the amount of riveting which must be done on the bronze plating alone may be gathered from the fact that in these plates there will be 26,212 riyets. These rivets are of bronze, and vary in size from 3-S to 9-16 in diameter, and from 3-4 to 1-2 inches in length. The rivet holes in AhC D&atCS G4 e dAA 4CdInGo Out, d4u lnC rivets fit snugly. They are clipped off flush with the face of the plate, so that plate and riyet make q per fectly smooth surface.
 A large number of riveters are at work on the boat. The large plate of the top strake of the fin, for which the workmen have been waiting, was also riyeted in place.
 The plates for the steel mast are at the Atlantic works, and the mast will be constructed there It was origi- nally intended to build it at Lawley's yard, but 1t would be cumbersome thing to handle after being built and as it is to be stepped at the Atlantic works, it was thought best to have 1t built there.
 Some of the hemp for the running rigging has arrived at Lawley's yard but Rigger Billmah has not started as yet on any of 'the1 rigging, as he will have ample time long before the boat is ready for it.
 The casting for < the regulation rud- der of the Independence is being drilled for the riyet holes, and as soon as this work is completed the plates to shut in the, frame will be cut and faired.

THE REAL FRENCH OFFICER.

Tn her recently published book, Miss Hannah Lynch attacks French officers, saying:
 T have heard in France a great deal of fine talk,'' she writes, "which would be admirable and noble if it were true, about the soldiers abnegation, his lack of ambition, his disinterestedness and modest pay. We need only glance through the military history of the world to recognize the utter bombast and falseness of this view. Officers are no more disinterested than other men, and there are, in fact, no men so splendidly paid for their services in all lands. The general who wins a battle is hero forever, though no bet ter brains, no finer qualities may go to the winning of that battle than goes (sic) to the making of a useful law, the winning of an election, and less than goes tsic) to scientific discovery or the writing of a good book. He has, as we'll as his pay; his prestige, his popularity, probably a title, and an estate.l love himself could scarcely ask for more" All this is wide of the mark, and, besides being very ungram- matical, is very silly, retorts an Eng fish critic. 1t shows, too, that Miss Lynch, however well acquainted with the details of the Dreyfus case, and NJ. Urban Gohier's anti-military works, knows little or nothing about the mat ter at first hand. The truth is, and the present writer speaks from the personal experiences of twenty-five years, there Is no more disinterested being than the French officer; the French army is indeed veritable school of self-abnegation. Take one fact alone: 1t Is perhaps the only army in the world that is absolutely solvent, indebtedness in the French soldier in- volying severe penalties, and if con- tinued dismissal from the service. Only those familiar with garrison life in France and in Algeria have any notion of the stringent economies, the thou- sand and one self denials of daily life. Here and there, of course, are men married to rich wives; the average case Is that of two small incomes put together, the husbands pay and the wife's obligatory forty eight pounds a year. these being eked out with an inn notation of self 1t would be hard to match anywhere. The French officer, no matter what his rank, is eminently sociable being welded to domestic l pleasures, and if the father of family, he will make any sacrifices to have his | children "bien eleve," f. e., we'll edu- cated and well brought up. He is also eminently hospitable gaily entertain | ing his friends at a cost to be made up by extra economies. And no class of men, French or otherwise, Is freeI from snobbery or swagger. As to the
 splendid pay of which Miss Lynch l speaks, she is evidently unaware that 1 of the three ranks of generals, the first
 does not receive more than z 800 . year.

Again Pierpont Morgan! That man seems determined to control everything in sight and lot of things not in sight While officials deny the story that MT Morgan, during his recent visit to MT Mckinley, offered to buy out the Panama Canal company and complete the canal, giving the United States government any concessions it might desire as to the control of the canal in time of war, with private capital without cost to this government, pro vided,. that MT Mckinley would pledge this government to kill the project for the construction of a canal over the Nicaragua route, it is generally be- fieyed in Washington that Mir Morgan did make some such offer to Mir Me Kinley and further that 1t is being considered. The story is plausible, and if true would explain much of the mysterious opposition to the Nicaragua canal bill which constantly cropped out in unexpected places while the late congress was in session. 1t Is known that Mir Morgan's relations are close with the big railroad interests that op- posed Nicaragua canal legislation, as we'll as with the capitalists who con- pose the so-called American Panama Canal company. which is believed to have been organized for purely specu- lation purposes. Another thing that adds to the plausibility of the story Is that the state department, in its nego- tiations with the Colombian minister and the president of the Panama Can al company, clearly shows it's recogni- ton of the possibility of the Panaina canal passing under American control. Since it was started by De Lesseps, the Panama Canal company has been not one swindle, but a series of gigan- tic swindles, which have made rascals millionaires and thousands of honest French investors paupers. With that
 record open to all, 1t Is not conceivable that the American people will ever en- dorse any connection of this govern ment under any circumstances or con.

MT Mckinley and Boss Hanna have again had their heads together over Ohio politics. They don't like the returns from the municipal elections in the state, and they specially dislike the election of Tom l.. Johnson to be mayor of Cleveland. They recognize that Mir Johnson's successful re-entry into politics means trouble and lot of 1t for the republican machine in Ohio, and that it may turn out also to be a factor in the national political arena, as 1t is an open secret that MT Johnson only became a candidate for mayor as a stepping stone to nomi- nation for something higher. They believe that MT Johnson will be cen tral figure in the state campaign this year, whether he becomes the demo cratic candidate for governor or the democratic candidate to succeed Sem ator Foraker, and they fear him and his known personal popularity in the state. And they are not alone in fear ing him. Colonel ". O. Tolford, of Columbus, which also elected demo- cratic mayor, who is republican and has something of a reputation as an expert on the currents of Ohio poh- tics, and who is now in Washington, said: ssIayor-elect Johnson will start with an advantage now for higher places. He is very clearly in line for the democratic nomination for govern or this year. Nobody believes that he can carry the state, but he may make trouble in the legislature. And if he can even reduce Governor Nash's ma jority for reelection to small figure he will be q powerful factor in the democratic national convention. He surely is vote-getter."

According to whispered gossip around the war department, MT Meik- lejohn, who is in Washington, he says to attend to some private matters, and others say to see if he cannot get hold of another federal salary and Secre- tary Root had a bitter quarrel, during which the former accused the latter of having prevented his election to the senate by forcing him out of the posi- ton of assistant secretary of war while the Nebraska legislature was in a deadlock, and Secretary Root retort- ed by saying that the duties of the as- sistant secretary of war were in Wash ington, and not in Lincoln, Nebraska.
