The Roman Catholics oppose religion in
the public schools, says New York
Methodist paper, because it is not their
sort: it may not be of any other denom-
national sort, but it is not of theirs The
Jews oppose il because il deals with the
New Testament well as the old. The
atheists oppose it because they are op-
posed to all religion. Rather than give
up the public schools we would give
up the reading of the Bible therein, which
is too frequently done in a merely per
functory manner. On the other hand, we
believe that series of religious readings
might be made to which no one could rea-
sonably object These religious services
might be held first, and children whose
parents sent a note of objection might be
allowed to enter afterward. The Hebrews
differ among themselves to such an eX-
tent that they cannot agree The reform
ed Hebrews and the orthodox are almost
at the antipodes of religion.
The Church of England, paradoxically,
is enormously rich and dstressingly poor.
An evidence of the latter condition came
out last month in the suicide of the vicar
of Wapole. who threw himself into
pond. driven to the deed by his desperate
circumstances. lie was getting old. anG
as his income from the benefce was only
$50 year and he was too intirm to
preach and too poor to retain a curate,
he wished TO resign. This he could nos
co, however because the diocesan author
tiles demanded $500 in payment of dilapi-
dations on the rectory. which appears to
be nothing but a rickety old house. Bank
ruptcy and the workhouse or suicide were
the alternatives.-The New York Evan
gelist.

BRITISH WAR PLANS.

To Expe1 Cape Colony Invaders and
 to End Struggle Before Coronation.
 LONDON, Nov. 11.-In letter dated Oct. g the Cape Town correspondent of The Daily Mail says: Lord Kitch- ener and Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the Cape premier, have arranged scheme for the expulsion of the invaders from Cape Colony. A joint commission of imperial and colonial military chiefs has been sitting here for some days past to draft a scheme. It is under stood that this provides for the colony taking a large share in the future of the campaign and contributing largely toward its cost. Apparently a levy of royalists en masse is the idea in- vOlyed."
 According to The Daily News, Ma jor General Ian Hamilton, who sailed Saturday for South Africa to act as Lord Kitchener's chief of staff, takes plan prepared in London for more vigorous campaign, with a view of ending the war before the coronation festivities begin.
 General Hamilton's appointment" says The Daily News, lis part of plan arranged after the kings return from the continent about six weeks ago. Unless Lord Kitchener should decline to be complaisant the new scheme is likely to develop about the beginning of the year,

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
Organized and Captured Men Who
 Were Hewing Down Trees.

There was a hold-up and row in the woods near Mohawk park Saturday night which 1t was thought would re- suit in giving Prosecutor Durant an opportunity to issue more warrants than he is likely to make out for side walk cases this year. For some time past residents of that district have been missing large timbers which they suspected were being carried away and sold for clothes poles. and in order to get line on the crowd that was doing the business vigilance committee was formed which resulted in the capture of eight men about ' o'clock Saturday night. They had in their possession a chestnut tree, about 40 feet long, which was felled during the afternoon and allowed to remain in the woods until it could be taken with safety in the darkness of night. The fellows were caught red-handed and seeing no way of escape they made a clean breast of the situation. All, with one exception, were fully conscious of the box they had gotten themselves into and admitted that they were at the mercy of the owner. while the lone in- COulCAucu llletI Hc WbS hOI stealing the pole. He was simply 'staking it and didn't know nor care who it belonged to-" He also wanted to know if the owner didn't need a sign to hang out on it. The names or five of the party were known at the time and the others were learned la ter. The tree was a bargain at S3, but in the hope of straightening out the snarl it was offered to the crowd for S2. They wouldn't take it at that price. The proper course to have pur- sued in such a case was to turn the names of the parties over to the prose cutting attorney and let the court deal with the case. but it is not pleasant for a family to bring neighborss and ac- quaintances into court and probably this is the reason so much of that kind of work is carried on in different parts of the town and especially in that dis trict
 But it looks as if the time had come when this 1eniency would have to cease and whether the case in ques- ton is going to mark the opening of new policy or not is something which has not yet been decided upon- In the early stages of the scrap shooting irons were drawn. but no shots were fired. so that while there was consid- erable talk. no blood was split. It was quite an amusing sight. The men had lantern, but it was extin- guished as soon as the "officers" ap- peared on the scene. Matches were then lighted in the hope of getting a glimpse at the features of the jolly crowd. but the fellows turned their heads to one side so that it was diff cult to recognize them. They still kept moving the stick and took no mo- tice of the demand to "halt," until they were given their choice to stand or take dose of lead.
 The attack upon the men who had the tree in tow was led by Timothy F. AIeehan with an army of three lieuten- ants What were the names of the opposing forces? Oh. never mind about that.

NEWS FROM MISS STONE.
Her Cpptors Wax Severe to Compe
 Acceptance of Terms.

Her CpptOrs Wax Severe to Compel
 Acceptance of Terms.
 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 11.-Informa- ton has been received here from Doub- nitza that the band of brigands hold ing captive Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, called about a fortnight ago at the village of Smet- chevo and subsequently, proceeded to the monastery of Rilo, but the move ments of the troops compelled the brig ands to flee toward the frontier, where they are now in hiding.
 It is also asserted that the brigands have recently been treating Miss Stone with more severity in order to exer- else pressure and to compel more ready acceptance of their conditions.
 Consul General Dickinson is infexi- ble. He insists that the surrender of Miss Stone must precede or be simul- taneous with the payment of the ram som. His attitude is justified by t2e known determination of some members of the band, particularly the captain, Yanne Sandansky, to kill Miss Stone and her companion as soon as the ran som is received ow1ag to the fact that the captiyes have now acquired infor- nation concerning the secret commit tees.
 Competent persons, however, express the opinion that the cupidity of the brigands will overcome their fear of revelations, and all such approve the declaration of MT. Dickinson.
 Saturday MT. Dickinson made ener- getic representations to the Bulgarian government against the movements of the Bulgarian troops, representing the officials with the fact that notwith- standing their solemn promises to give him all assistance in their power their action was embarrassing the negotia- tions, retarding a settlement and plac- ing in jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
 He made a definite declaration that the Bulgarian government would be held responsible for the death of Miss Stone and of all the consequences of her death should it be proved that the attitude of the Bulgarian government forced the brigands to kill their cap tiyes.

COAL FOR OUR NAVY.
The American Product Being Scattered

The American Product Being Scattered
 Everywhere.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-A strik- ing illustration of the growth of the American navy is presented in the sin gle statement in the annual report of Rear Admiral R. B. Bradford, chief of the equipment bureau of the navy, that he spent $2,2T5, III the last fiscal year for 324, 1O3 tons of coal at an average cost of $7.01 per ton. The report says that this was nearly 95,713 more tons of coal than was used during the pre- ceding fiscal year. Ten years ago the coal consumption was 73,000 tons per annum. The domestic coal costs S6-20 per ton, and the foreign coal, of which there were used 1O5, ,066 tons, cost S8.50 per ton.
 Admiral Bradford has scattered American coal all over the world wher ever suitable storage could be found. He has placed 12,00O tons at Yokoha- ma and 5000 tons at Pichilinque, Mex ico, and he has sent large quantities to Guam and to the Philippines. He car ried 5000 tons by water from the At lantic coast to Mare island, California, where it came into competition with English Cardiff coal. They have aver aged the same in cost-viz, $9.29 per ton, but at present, owing to the scar city of American freight vessels, the best Cardiff coal is considerably cheap CT at Mare island. It is recommended that two large steam 10000 ton colliers be built to keep depots supplied in time of peace and to accompany the fleets in time of war.
 Summarizing the work accomplished at various coaling stations during the year, the report takes up Cavite and says that the bureau is about to open bids for .45,O00 ton coaling station there. Efforts have been made to ob tain a site for a coaling station at Cebu, but thus far without success. Coa1ing stations have been located at Port Isabella, Bassalin island and at Police, Mindanao.
 4 complete station has been estab- lished at Yokohama, Japan, and it is now fully stocked with coal The same statement is true at Pichilinque, Mexi- co, where through the courtesy of the Mexican government our coal and col Hers have been admitted to the station without port or customs duties. In the west little work has been done at San Juan on the coaling scale, but Ad- miral Bradford expresses regret that little progress has been made in secur- ing sites for other coal depots in the West Indies.
