EpiscopaIian House Of Deputies Re.
jects Both Proposed canons.
San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The trou-
blesome question of marriage and d.
vorce was set at rest for another
three years yesterday by the action Of
the house of deputies of the triennial
Episcopal convention in rejecting both
of the proposed canons on the subject
which were passed by the house Of
bishops. The greatest fight Of the
convention has been over section 4 of
canon SO, virtually forbidding the re-
marriage Of a divorced person by a
priest of the church. This had passed
the house Of bishops and been adopt
ed by yea and nay vote in commit
tee Of the whole by the house Of
deputies. When it rose and reported
it's work to the house a decisive vote
was taken, not only on the trouble
some fourth section, but on the entire
canon, which was rejected as a whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the dis
ciplining of persons marrying again
after being divorced met with SINH
lar fate.
Both houses appointed members OF
a standing committee on capital and
labor which is to investigate the sub
ject with view to the peaceful settle
ment of disagreements between en-
ployers and worl1ingmen and report

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-Ip this dis
course DR.. Talmage calls all people to
gladness and opens all the doors Of ex-
pectancy; texts, Genesis vi, Is, "Come;"
Revelations xxi, II, Come"
Imperial, tender and all persuasive is
the word "Come." Six hundred and sew
enty-eight times is it found in the Scrip
lures. 1t stands at the front gate of the
Bible as in my first text, inviting ante
diluyians into NOah's ark. and it stands
at the other gate of the Bible as In my
second text, inviting the postdiluvians of
all later ages into the ark of a Saviour
mercy. "Come" is only a word Of four
letters. but it is the queen of words, and
nearly the entire nation Of English vO-
cabulary bows to its scepter. 1t is an
ocean into which empties ten thousand
rivers Of meaning. Other words drive,
but this beckons. All moods Of feeling
hath that word Come" Sometimes It
weeps and sometimes it laughs Some
times it prays, sometimes it tempts, and
sometimes it destroys. 1t sounds from
the door Of the church and from the
seragliOs Of sin, from the gates of heaven
and the gates of hell. It is continent and
accrescent Of all power. 1t is the heiress
Of most of the past and the almoner of
most Of the future. Gomez You may
pronounce it so that all the heavens will
be heard in its cadences or pronounce it
so that all the woes Of time and eternity
shall reverberate in its one syllable. 1t is
on the lip Of saint and prohigate. It is
the mightiest Of all solicitants either for
good or bad.

Entrance Effected Under the FloOrlS
and the Cashiers Vault Cut Open
Nearly $4,000 Morth Stamps
Carried s.way In a Wagon.
Chicago. Oct. PA remarkable
robbery. which netted the perpetrators
s74 600 in stamps. was discovered here
ye rday, when the wholesale stamp
department Of the post office was
opened for business. A rapid investi.
cation showed that the burglars had
crawled under the flooring for about
300 feet, bored hole in the bottom Of
the vault, secured the stamps and es-
capped, carrying their booty away In
a wagon.
The work of forcing an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going for
ward with the greatest patience for
many days. It is believed, however,
that the intention of the thieves had
been to enter the cashiers vault, in
which there was $685. 900 in money and
stamps valued at hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars. The bottom Of the
vault is of steel half an inch in thick
ness. In this 81 holes were bored, I'M
til space Is inches square-just
enough to allow the entrance Of a
mans body-had been so weakened
that It was possible to take out the
whole plate with little dificulty. A
dry goods box stood over the hole
thus made and concealed the work Of
the robbers while it was in progress.
When discovered the finger marks Of
one of the burglars were still discerni-
BILE in the dust on the box, which he
had pushed on one side. So carefully
had the scheme been planned that men
working in other parts of the building
had not the slightest iHkIing Of the
daring robbery being worked almost
under their noses.
OF the $74,61O in stamps taken, S4,-
TIP were in postage due" stamps, SO
$1,000 in special delivery stamps, so
the convertible stamps amounted to
$67. 1928, but of these $4,S2S were Pan
American stamps of eight and ten-cent
denominations
F. o. Spalding, chief clerk Of the
wholesale stamp department, discover
ed the robbery when he opened the
vault at 7.5O o'clock The safe had
been locked, with its contents appar.
emily secure, at p. m. on Saturday.
Mr.. Spalding notified Post Office In
spector Stuart, who, assisted by his
deputies and a squad of detectives,
made an investigation. Inspector Stu
art afterwards said:
1T was the largest stamp robbery
ever committed in the history Of the
postal service in this country. To get
to the vault the men dug through the
brick foundation wall, and a hundred
feet or so further on they encountered
another wall, and this they also dug
through. On the way they met with
a number of apes, and as the floor is
only two feet and in some places three
feet above the ground, they tunneled
under the pipes. The wholesale stamp
vault, like the cashiers vault and the
money order vault, is supported by a
brick wall. It forms a square, and
before the robbery was alright. In
this the robbers broke two holes, possi-
bly, to secure more air"

This news is believed to be authentic,
as it was received from high Chinese

to be dissipated and uncomfortable.
Moreover, his fathers status as a ban
ished prince makes his succession
contrary to Chinese traditions. Tie
candidate of the empress is said to
be Petite, a nephew Of Prince Tuan,

l also apply the word of my text to
those who would like practical comfort.
If any ever escape the struggle of life,
have not found them. They are not GER
tainly among the prosperous classes. In
most cases it was Il struggle all the way
up till they reached the prosperity, and
since they have reached these heights
there have been perpleXities, anxieties
aud crises which were almost enough to
shatter the nerves and turn the brain. 1t
would be hard to tell which have the
biggest fight in this world, the prosperi-
ties or the universities, the conspicuities
or the obscurities. Just as soon as you
have enough success to attract the at
tentiOn Of others the envies and jealOusies
are let loose from their kennel. The
greatest crime that you can commit in
the estimation of others is to get on bet
ter than they do. They think your ad-
dition is their subtraction. Five hundred
persons start for a goal of success; one
reaches it, and the other four hundred
and ninety-nine are mad. 1t would take
volumes to hold the story of the wrongs,
Outrages and defamatiOns that have come
upon you as Il result Of your success.
The warm sun of prosperity brings into
life a swamp full of annoying insects.
On the other hand, the unfortunate
classes have their struggles for maiu-
tenance. To achieve a livelihood by one
who had nothing to start with, and after
awhile for a family as well, and carry
this on until children are reared and edu-
Gated and fairly started in the world, and
to do this amid all the rivalries Of bust
ness and the uncertainty Of crops and
the fckleness of tariff legislation, with
an occasional labor strike and here and
there a financial panic thrown in, is a
mighty thing to do, and there are hun
dreds and thousands Of such heroes and
heroines who live unsung and die un-
honored.
