Between the election of the Fifty-sixth
Congress and its expiration on March 4
last, three Senators and thirteen mem
bers of the House died. As Mr.. Brosius
was member of the last House, and
was reelected, he may be counted in the
list, making fourteen of the latter. 1t is
also noticeable that in addition to the
number of deaths in the last House,
three members are now confined in

FALSE CENSUS RETURNS.

r VERY true Marylander hopes
r. that all census frauds in the
IL State as we'll as elsewhere will
be exposed and the violators of
the law brought to justice.
The Government is determined to sift
the case OF Enumeration Abel to the bot
tom. Census Director Merriam said:
Every enumerator whose work has been
dishonest will prosecute to the full ex
tent OF the law. Abel, think, is not
the only offender in Maryland. The
case against him is complete, but fear
there are some others in the state,
and every one Of them can make up their
minds that they will accompany Abel
to the penitentiary. There is, unhap-
PLY, no punishment for the man by
whose advice these enumerators have
falsifed the returns"

Before recovering from the shock of
ex-President Harrison's death, Wash.
ington received a fresh shock through
the sudden death of Hon. Marriott
Brosius, of Pennsylvania, Chairman Of
the Committee Of Banking and Cur
rency of the last House. When Mr.
Brosius left Washington, after the adj
journment Of Congress, he was ap-
parently in good health. He was
member of the House for ten years and
was deservedly popular among his
colleagues and in Washington.

would like to have the Cubans think
that they are working for them, but as
matter OF fact, they are doing nothing
OF the kind. On the contrary, they are
working to make American control
permanent, forgetting, or rather ignor-
ing the fact that our national honor is
pledged to turn Cuba over to the Cubans
Just as soon as they demonstrate their
ability to under take the responsibilities
OF self-government When these interests
were working in Washington, their
arguments were that it was necessary for
the great property interests OF the island
that American control should be con
tinued indefinitely; now they are seek
ing the same end by trying to persuade
the Cubans that the conditions named
are hard and unjust and that if they re-
fuse to accept them, they will be modi-
ned by the next Congress. OF course,
they know better, but they can have
new argument ready after the next Con-
gress fails to change the conditions, if
they succeed in beguiling the Cubans
into standing in their own light. Mean
while American control will continue.

Gold in the United States Treasury
continues to increase at the rate of
more than five millions month, and
that ratio of increase is likely to continue
until July 1, when the revenue reduction
law will go into effect. That law re
duced the revenue about $40, ooo, 900

will stop the increase of gold in the
Treasury, but does not expect it to re-
duce the total, which now amounts to

half a billion Of dollars by the first Of

A Windsor Girls Success.

From the Winsor Tribune.
Recent New York papers contain
lengthy reports of the closing of the
winter term of the various dramatic
schools of that city. One of the most
pleasing of those events took place at
the Berkeley theatre, where the pupils
of the National Conservatory of ORA
matte Art' gave public reheasal in
the presence of a very critical audience.
including many theatrical managers.
The honOrs of the day were easily car
ried off by Miss Cecil March, who took
the parts of Lady Teazel in Acts |
and Ii of the 'School for Scandal
and Mrs. Norwood Jones in a farce
comedy. No better lady Teazel was
ever played in New York by any grad
uating pupil of a dramatic school, and
her perfect rendition of the courtly old
time English society women was ac-
knowledged by the frequent applause
But it was as. the modern English So
ciety woman, Mrs. Norwood Jones, in
Sir Charles L. Young's farce comedy,
'Petticoot Perfidy," that Miss March
showed to the greatest advantage. Ex-
qulsitely gowned and with a queenly
air and carriage, she played the part as
only an English woman could do, and
was rewarded with the cordial appre.
citation of her critical audience. Miss
MARGINS initial success stamps her as
a young lady of marked dramatic
ability, with promise of great success
upon the stage. Canadians will watch
her professional career with much
pride Cecil March is the stage name
OF Miss Aimee Cecil Jones, of Wind
sor, and host of friends throughout
the maritime provinces will heartily
rejoice in the success of this gifted
young lady.
Miss jones' Emporium friends will
be pleased to learn of this gifted young
lady's success.

Leviticus 25: 10 (first half of the verse;, And ye shal. hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land un- to all the inhabitants thereof.
 INTRODUCTION.
 This is a record of Gods words to Moses and through him to the people.
 God commanded His people to conse- crate to Him-devote to sacred use-ev- cry fiftieth year. In this year they were to proclaim liberty to all the inhabitants of the land, into which they were going for conquest and where they were to live. The children of Israel were outside the promised land.
 In His provisions for His people, God has always instituted times of lest and retrospecton, moments when they can pause and plan for the future in the light of the past and when they can take good heart.
 Indeed, God Himself set us the exam pie, in that He paused to survey His work at the end of each period of crea- tion. We remember that it is recorded, 'And God saw that 1t was good"

 How much more quickly we all wear out, if we make every day work day, and do not take Sabbath for even phy- sical rest and relief from the daily occu- patton!
