The sanetitv Of the Home.

Several things have occurred re-
Gently to give encouragement and
satisfaction to all interested in
maintaining the sanctity of the mar
riage relation and the inviolability
of the home. The most important
of these is the decision of the Unit.
ed States supreme court, declaring
that both parties to divorce suit
must be bona fide residents of the
state wherein a divorce is applied
for, thus cutting off at one stroke
the scandalous business of the So
called divorce mills of certain West
err localities and another is the
refusal of several eminent men to
speak at club dinner in Brooklyn
in association with a professor OF
divinity who has deserted his wife
and children without cause. These
refusals we're given point and force
by being accompanied in two cases
with a just and withering rebuke of
the man who had been guilty of
such despicable, unchristian, and
cowaidly conduct. Still another
proceeding involving the same issues
is the renewal of the agitation
against the spread of Mormonism.
All this is we'll. Inslstence upon
the integrity and sacredness of the
home and family cannot be too fre.
quent or too emphatic in this day,
when so many subtle influences are
at work to undermine and destroy
these corner stones of our civiliza-
ton. Concerning many tenets and
principles of modern civilization in
its purest and highest estate there
is room for an honest difference of
opinion, hut as to the wisdom and
inherent rightfulness of monogamy
and of the family relation as that
institution exists in Christian lands
today there can be no question
among people of sane and enlight-
ened minds, any more than there
can be a question of the value OF
sunshine or any other benehcent
force of nature. Aud the example
of any individual or the teaching:
of any class Of persons designed tc
degrade the family or weaken the
marriage bond may be justly re-
garded with horror and disgust
and as things to be met with stern
implacable, and uncompromisine
opposition.-Leslie's Weekly

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. d. c.. MAY %, 1901
Senator Lodge is to be made chair
man Of the senate committee on for.
eign relations as soon as the next
session Of congress opens, and will
at once move for the abrogation of
the Clayton. Bulwer treaty. That
Is the sum and substance of current
gossip among prominent repub-
licans, and if that programme is
carried ont it will necessarily bring
the Isthmian canal question to an
immediate issue in congress. The
Craftsmanship Of the senate foreign
relations committee has been vacant
since the death of Senator Davis.
Senator Frye has been acting chair
man and as the senior republican on
the committee would become chair
man when the committees are re-
organized at the next session but
his duties as president pro tenn. of
the senate and his intention to de.
vote much time to the. new ship
subsidy bill, which he will intro
duce, will so occupy him that he
does not, it is said, desire the chair
manship of the foreign relations
committee. Senator Cullom is the
next republican on the committee,
but his interests in the legislation
likely to come before the Interstate
commerce committee of which he is
now chairman will, it is thought,
cause him to withdraw his claim in
favor Of Senator Lodge. Should
Senator Lodge become chairman of
the foreign relations committee it
would be a decided set back for
the Panama canal influence, as he is
strongly in favor of the Nicaragua
route

Secretary Root has listened TO
statements of representatives of the
five cadets dismissed from West
Point last week with his approval
for insubordination, and has inform
ed the young men very candidly

punishment was just and fully de.
served and hadn't the slightest idea
that the investigation would result
in any change in the sentences.

circles that heroic methods would
be necessary in dealing with the
next serious infraction of the rules.

who were suspended, happened to

the impression in Washington is
general that they are wassing their
time in trying to get re-instated,

aNnN naAs
There are few in this section who
were not familiar with the face of
Mr.. Ost, who died last Friday after
a brief illness of paralysis at the
home of his son in Montague town
ship, New Jersey.
He was born in Germany about
"a years ago and came to this coun-
try in the early fifties. For a num-
Der of years he followed his trade,
that of a miller, and subsequently
pursued farming. He first located
at Blooming Grove, was for a num-
Der of years a resident of Delaware,
then moved to Matamoras, and re.
sided here also for many years, lat
terly living with a son, where he
died. He married in Germany Miss
Christina Beck, who, with two
daughters, Christina, wife of T..
Gregor, of Newark, N. j.. Matilda,
wife of John Galwaler, of Water
bury, CT, and three sons, Ira, of
New York, William, of Montague,
N. j., and Abram, survives him.

BITUMlNOUs COAL TRUST.
enormous Capitalization to Control
the Trnde Eest of the Mirsissippi.

CLEVELAND. July 2.-The Leader
Sday says that before the LIST of Septem
Der all of the big companies producing BIZ
luminous coal will have been gathered
into one organization similar to the Unit
cd States Steel corporation. The capitali-
cation will be enormous, probably second
only to that of the big steel trust.
AS an auxiliary to this movement be-
ing carried on by the promoters of one Of
the constituent companies of the greater
organization, complete pool of all of the
retail soft coal interests in Cleveland will
be effected within the next ten days, for
which preliminary steps have about been
taken.
From what can be learned work upon
the big coal trust hns been under way for
a greater length of time than any of the
other industrial combinations.
J. L. Morgan. the advocate of coalition,
first started in with his coal combinations
three years ago. making the first move
ments along the line of controlling the
products of the Ohio and West Virginia
fields. At that time he obtained complete
control of the mining prteerty in the
Hooking and Shawnee valleys. In order
to give an outlet for this coal he pur-
chased certain railroad property, and this
started the combination mania along the
line of railroad ownership which has gone
to extraordinary lengths.
The proceedings in the present comb
nation are similar to those displayed in
the formation of the steel trust.
Along with this organization will GO
also the conl docks and fast loading
plants that are now owned by the various
coal companies which shall hereafter
make part of the big organization. This
will include those which are located along
Lake Erie and also on the upper lake
ports.
! The aim of all of this is to effect a com
plete monopoly of the hituminous GOA
! production in the territory east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Pc
tomac. To the accomplishment of this
end Mr.. Morgan is said to have given
| himself without reserve and will take il
up as soon as he returns from Europe.
