MARRIAGE And DIVORCE
REPORT OF THE PROTESTANT EPIs-
COPAL REVISION COMMITTEE.
Changes Proposed in Cnnons-EIope-
ments FrOwned On-Discipline
for Divorced Il ,rsons.

NEW YORK. June 1S.-The joint commits
sion on the revision of the canons of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which was
continued by resolution of the House of
Deputies in the General Convention of 1895,
and concurred in by the House of Bishops
has just made public its report which will
be submitted for approval TO the next Cen
eral Convention in San Francisco next Octo-
Der. Attached TO the report, but not incor-
porated in its text, is the proposed canon
on prohibited degrees which revives the
old discussion of the prohibition against
marrying a dead wife's sister. This ques-
ton has long vexed the lawmakers in Eng
land.
Elopements of young persons are frowned
upon in the following words: mo minister
shall sofemnize the marriage of any person
who is a minor under law Of the place of
marriage unless the parent guardian of
such minor is present and consenting or
shall have given written consent 10 the
marriage If permanently resident In for
elSn country.
Another precaution against ill-advised
marriages is taken. The canon says: No
minister shall solemnize a marriage except
in the presence of at least two witnesses.
the minister or the witnesses being per-
sonally acquainted with the parties.
Remarriages by divorced persons is care,
luiiy considered tnus: No lhiIIs.ol SIaii
solemniZe marriage between any TWO per-
sons unless or until by inquiry he shdll
have satisfied himself that neither person
has been. or is the husband OF the VIE OF
any other person then living; unless the
former marriage was annulled by decree
of some civil court of competent Jurlsdlc-
ton for cause existing before such former
marriage"
Discipline for divorced persons is laid
down thus: "NO person divorced for cause
arising after marriage and marrying again
a mir n
the divorce shall be admitted to baptism or
confirmation or received to the holy COM
munion except when penitent and separated
from the other party to the subsequent
marriage or when penitent and in immedl-
ate danger of death, but this canon shall
not apply to the innocent party TO divorce
for the cause of adultery.
If the revisiOns submitted are adopted by
the convention the canon law of the Eplsco-
pal Church will appear in a much simpler
form than is the case now.

CURING WRONG SHOP METHODS.
Tonic Criticism n Help to Business
Establfs h ments.

New York Evening Post.
A unique calling has developed itself in
this city. 1t may be called that of the
business doctor. The business doctor is a
allowed to examine thoroughly the whole
working Of the machine" He finds out,
for example. how the letters are opened
and distributed. how orders are executed
how many people are employed, what is
the exact nature of the work they do what
are the wages they are receiving and so on.
In the case of a large concern he may need
a week TO get full possession OF the facts,
and he charges at least $50 a day for his
work. When he has completed his investi-
cations he draws up report and adds TO
ii number of practical suggestions. His
object is to prevent waste, and especially to
check the constant tendency in working ex-
penses 10 rise year by year without any
compromising advantages
One of the largest department stores in
the city employed the services of doctor"
recently. He found that the partners came
down about ten and opened the letters to-
gether. AS their correspondence was enor-
nous, the opening of the letters neces-
STATED waste of much valuable time He
therefore, advised that a woman, who was
to be paid a salary of $1,000 a year. should
be engaged to open the letters before the
partners arrived, and sort them. allotting
each partner his own letters so that when
he came down TO business he might deal
with them Immediately This recommends
ton was adopted, and has been found TO
save a great deal OF precious time as was
intended lie also ADVISED the rearranSe-
ment of the duties of the assistants. Some
were receiving too much, others too little.
Nearly all Of his recommendations on these
points were also adopted. and the result is
that the Arm Is now getting it's work done
at a lower cost than before. Waste has
been considerably checked, and efficiency
has been proportionately increased. The
business doctor earnestly advocates good
payment to really efficient people, and
would have the test OF efficiency stringentlt
applied year after year. He condemns
strongly the practice of automatically rails
ing salaries according to length of service
irrespective of the quality of the service
OF course, he confines his work TO giving
recommendations. Whether these recon-
mendations adopted not is con-
Germ Of his. so long as he receives his fee.
