tiOns Reported FavOrabIy.

Representative Ha1let. chairman of
the committee on charitable institu-
tons, introduced the Charities and cor
rection'' bill in the house this morning.
There has been no change in the board
Of charities, nor any consolidation of
boards Of the several institutions as

pital." The members of the board of
charities will also be known as "trus-
tees"
The civil service provision is the chief
new feature and is applicable to the
teachers and employees. With regard to
their appointments and tenure of Office
section 10 reads:
mo political test shall be allowed OF
required by said board. nor position in
any institution under said board, nor
shall removals be made for political
reasons. but the board shall. according
to the best judgment of the members
thereof be governed by qualifications,
character, integrity and personal fitness
of the candidate to be determined by
proper examinations by the board in
connection with the superir tendents OF
the respective institutions, 1t being the
purpose of this provision to prevent
change for political reasons in the man

Is Expected to Characterize Parlia-
ment's Attitude Toward the King.
New York. Feb 2O.-While the current
report that the aggregate sum Of the
British civil list win not be changed in
the new reign is probably correct. says
che Tribune's London correspondent it
does not follow that the court Of Edward
VII Will not have more money to spend
than Queen Nictoria's court had
The civil list is capable Of consider
able manipulation. Queen Victoria had
a smaller aggregate than King William
but the civil list was relieved from var
ious charges and she had a larger
amount available for the maintenance
of the royal household The revision of
the civil list will yield similar results
for the kings benefit. without a larger
appropriation for general expenditures
of the court.
Queen AIexandra's allowances win be
largely increased and there win not be
any opposition by the commons to the
proposal for her benefit. The anRuities
for the Duke OF Cornwall Will be equal IN
amount to those received by his father
as Prince of Wales.

DECREASED ATTENDANCE
At Theological Schools Reported All
Over the World.

New York. Feb. 20.-Much discussion
has been caused among thcologians by
the report of the decrease in attendance
at the Princeton theological seminary.
The interest was heightened by the be
lief prevalent in Princeton that the con-
servatism of the old Presbyterian insti-
tutions was responsible for the marked
falling of in attendance.
It was pointed out that while the num-
Der of students at the Princeton semi
nary had decreased from 264 in 1895 to
1s6 in 1900 and from 1856 to l56 this year,
there had been no falling of in the at
tendance at the union theological semi
nary. where cOnSerVat lSm has been less
conspicuous and where iiberality OF
thought had been tolerated to a marked
degree From this condition it was de-
duced that an inclination to broader
views exists among the theological stu
dents of the present day.
The Rev DR.. Benjamin B. Wardeld,
president of the Princeton seminary, de-
clared last night that such a conclusion
was not warranted by the facts He
also made the rather startling state
Princeton seminary was only in proper
ton TO the decrease in all other Presby-
terrain seminaries-
There has been" DR. Warfield says,
"a decline in the candidates for the min
istery since 1886 throughout the world
most marked, probably in Scotland,
where it has created a great deal Of
discussion and promises to create a
great deal Of distress. 1t has affected
all the churches in America. the Presby-
terrain church along with the others but
not to the same extent as some others
AS all the seminaries are dependent
upon the candidates for the ministry
for their student body. they all feel the
decline in the number Of candidates.
Princeton seminary feels il along
with the others, but not to any great
extent It continues to have the largest
number of students of any Of the Pres
byterian seminaries."
DR.. Warfield attributes the decrease in
the number Of theological students to-
the industrial development of recent
years. together with the many recent
opportunities for entering the military
service.
The Rev. DR. Charles c. Han. presi-
dent OF faculty Of Union Theological
seminary. said that in that institution
there had been an increase instead of a
decrease in the number Of applicants for
admission
1T is our constant endeavor." DR..
Hail said, TO elevate the standard Of the
ministry With that object in view, we
have examined closely into the uualih-
cations Of all applicants for the minis

during the last four years, but the num-
Der OF students admitted has been lin

ssWhy the Legal Method of Promoting
Temperance always Has Done, and
Always will Do More Harm than
Good, - is the subject of an address to
be delivered by Albert Griffin, at Secur-

the prohibitory law is a failure and that
the only solution of the problem is
through moral suasion.

cathedral had better at once betske him

vide him with nothing more interesting.
The west front Of a cathedral is al
ways a severe test, for in itself it is moth
ing but a bare wall blocking up the end
Of the nave and aisles. To make it sig
nihcant and interesting it must have q
great hole made IN it as entrance or chief
door. The doors Of = church are all OF
importance. but the chief door is vital
Next to the door and over it Genes abe
great window necessary 10 light the nave
and also 10 be. as it were, the eye CT the
church This, too must be large and
beautiful both in shape and tracery. De
spite the fact that the west front is the
most secular part Of the church to be
nightly impressive and dominating IN
less the face II shows 70 the outside
world, TO whom its mystery is addressed,
is impressive and dominating also.
The west front Of Cologne cathedral is
satisfactory. The great door is ninety
three feet high and thirty-one feet wide.
These figures are comforting and inviting.
The window is forty-eight feet high and
twenty feet wide. The side entrances are
generously planned, and the actual doors
are bronze. Architects are apt to be
timid when they should be bold. and bold
only on the occasions when midesty
would be charming.
When you have passed through the
western doors into the nave. you can
scarcely restrain your cheers. No miser-
able partition no nI-placed organ, mars
your view OF the splendid proportions Of
the eidihce you have just entered. Your
eye runs with JOY up the avenue Of pillars
past the shadows Of the transepts, enters
the choir and reverently beholds the steps
Of the altar, and is rewarded by the rich
hues of the eastern window. and all IN a
