Two Warnings.

r INDIANAPOLIS dispatches Of
April 6, stating that the national
n executive committee OF the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America will
be in session in that city throughout
the present week. make note of two
things, one of which ought to be a
warning against the action said to be
proposed with reference to the other.
The first is this: Something will be
done for the relief of the miners of
the Arkansas, Kansas and Indian Ter
ritoly fields, where "a strike has been
IN progress nearly two years. The
miners there are holding out for an
increase of 10 per cent in wages, but
the operators show no signs of yielding.
Men have been brought in from other
Places and are doing the work." adds
the dispatch. That speaks for itself.

to give up. 1t will continue to send re-

CHAMPION SMALL WRITER.
Bangor, Me-, Letter in the Sun,

Rilla Kttredge OF Belfast, champion small
writer OF the world, who is nearly 90 years Old,
has retired from the field, leaving his record OF
$4,000 words written with common steel pen on
an ordinary postal card for ambitious micros-
copic p, nmen to equal or heat, Mr.. Kittredge has
long been famous for his pennanship. He is
yermontcr by birth, His practice OF miniature
chirography began early in iiie and many
time he has gone without dinner rather than
leave unfinished piece of work.
His first serious competitive effort was made
in 1857, when some one sent TO the Belfast Jour.

crowded and dehed any one to beat it. few

The End of the Itineracy.

"HIS SEASON OF assemblago
of the various conferences
Il of the Methodist Episcopal
church has brought out in
Vulnerable comments upon the final
abolishment by the general conference
of the time limit for the pastoral
relation in that denomination. The
passing of the itineracy marks indeed
Il radical change in the church policy
Of that religious body.
OF the many tributes that this ac-
tion has brought out to the pioneers
of MethodiSm, "the circuit riders" of
the olden time. it is a little curious
to note that perhaps the most touch
iEs-the one that strikes most truly
the note of profound sympathy and ap-
preciation--of those that have appeared
in the secular prints is that by A. c.
Wheeler which was published in Har-
Eer's Weekly. This was reproduced in
the Easter number of the New York
Up. E.) Churchman.
The conditions of modern life and
the closer settling of the greater part
of the territory that still forms do
mestic missions ground for all the
churches, have been tending during the
rast twenty-five years to this elimina-
ton of the pastorate in the religious
body whose polity it had differentiated
from all others throughout the entire
nineteenth century. But there are not
few in it's membership. in the min
istry and those of the laity alike, who
grew to maturity under the old regime,
who are locking obviously upon this
new departure that comes in with the
twentieth century. That is natural
enough. But not less so is the evolu-
1ion of the old order into the now in
all human arrangements. Yet the
basic principles remain. That is the
truth which has comforted many
nlourners before and will again.

Before the memory of the Syracuse
catastrophe Is crowded out of general
recollection by the rush of the worlds
daily news. it should be pressed home
to the public mind that the so-called
accident--the falling of the bridge over
the Oswcgo canal--was the result OF
criminal carelessn ess, OF the deliberate
neglect of long continued warnings to
the city authorities that the bridge was
unsafe.
