A pRoFASE INTERRUPTION.

he was delivering sermon In Madi-

adjoining vacant lot number OF boys
were playing game Of base ball.
The sermon was on heaven and the
means Of reaching there. The preach

How. then, shall We reach hea-

Just then came floating through the

Colo, Linz in London.

An attempt to draw the color line
in London has resulted In failure
When it came to light that some 200
colored delegates to the ecumenical
council in Wesley chapel were to be
guests at one Of the big west end ho-
tells number of wealthy American
guests were amazed and entered an In
dignant protest. They assured the
proprietor that such thing would not
be permitted In the United States, and
demanded that the colored delegates
be accommodated in a separate part OF
the hotel. He declined to interfere.
and his arstocratic American guests
quit his hostelry.
The proprietor Ia quoted as saying:
II could not think Of offering an insult
to such men as Bishop Derrick Of New
York, Bishop tanner OF Philadelphia,
Bishop Gaines OF Atlanta and Bishop
Arnett. I told the Americans that
when the Indian princes were here NO

Territorial Ta-Jtf 0u.sf,on

The decision of the Treasury depart
ment in the Porto Rico coffee case IL,
Of course, the only one that could have
been reached under the Foraker law
and the recent presidential proclama-
tion suspending the is per cent tariff
and extending the Dingley act to the
new territory. Porto Rico is now part
Of the United States and Of the free
trade union. and she can have no spe-
cial duties and exemptions. She Is
naturally pleased With the change, but
she desired s Per cent duty upon
Brazilian coffee and contended that
this duty was not Affected by the re-
moval of the Foraker tariff.
Having been overruledI on this point,
It is announced that congresS will be
urged to re-enact . special tariff law
to protect Porto Rico coffee against
Brazilian competition. Hawaii may
make common cause With her sfstar
territory, as she too suffers from the
importation Of Brasilian coffee.

Hos. Far Vnions Con Go.


The Enslish courts are gradually de-
termining how far a trades union can
lawfully go when its members and an
employer are at odds. A few years
ago 1t was laid down as the law that
where the agent OF a union notifies an
employer that if he does not discharge
men In his service because they do not
belong to the organization the union
men in his employ will strike and the
non-union men are discharged on ac-
count Of this threat they cannot re-
cover damages 1t was admitted that
the men thus discharged had been In
jured, but 1t was held that since it was
lawful for an individual member Of a
union to tell his employer that he
would not work for him unless he dis
charged certain persons whom he did
not wish to work with. 1t was lawful
for the union men to do the same
thing collectively through an officer OF
their organization.
This decision was altogether salts
factory to the trades unions. A hnal
decision recently given in another case
does not suit them at all. A butcher
got entangled in controversy with
the Journeymen Butchers Assistants
association. The association induced
several Of his employees to leave with
out notice. thus interfering consider
ably with his business, and finally it
notified a second butcher that unless
he stopped doing business with the
first butcher the association would call
out his hands This threat was ef-
fectual and the final result was the
ruin OF the frst butcher. Then he
sued the association. which has money.
for $1,250 damages and has won his
suit

A FotoI Experiment.

A Havana dispatch states that one OF
the four subjects of recent yellow fever
experiments has fallen a victim. He
was bitten by mosquito which had
previously bitten yellow fever patient
and developed the fever four days
later.
This case is notable, not only be-
cause 1t is the first Of numerous ex-
perimental cases to result fatally. but
because the death proves that the Sc
rum prepared by DR.. Caldas is not a
sure cure In all cases. and raises a
doubt as to its curative efficiency in
any case. The yellow fever. board in
Havana has been conducting expert
ments since early in January, and az
all save one of the many subjects have
recovered from the disease there would
hardly seem to be sufficient reason for
discontinuing the investigation in this
direction. If further subjects Offer
themselves and IL useful knowledge is
likely to be gained by continuing the
experiments
DR.. Havard, our chief surgeon in
Cuba, who refuses to permit more to
be tried, should consider the small per-
centage of fatality hitherto and the
fact that subjects are willing to take
the risk in order to become immune
and not merely for the good of others
