SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The centennial anniversary of the
dedication of Schraalenburg Re-
formed church, Dumont, n. J., was
celebrated recently. The church is
the same to-day as it was when it
was built a century ago, save for an
extension, and among its treasures
is the bible which was used by the
first pastor.
Rev. Father Mcclure, pastor of
Roman Catholic church in Long
Island City, finding that number OF
persons habitually left the church
after mass and just before the col
lection was taken up, caused the
doors of the edifice to be locked re-
Gently until service was over, and
more than 20 people who tried to es-
cape before the plate came around
were conspicuously unable to do so.
There are of the Anglican commun-
ion in the empire Of Japan six bish-
ops, 81 missionaries, Is lay workers,
~ women-an drawn from England
and America. In addition to these,
there are 20 priests, Is deacons, 1877
catechists, and working with foreign
workers hand in hand. There are
nearly 5000 native converts attached
to the rs churches and 13S out-sta-
tions, all being bound together in
one native church, with it's own con-
stitution and synods.
The Church Times (England) points
out what it calls an unfortunate
confusion between the words nom
conformists and separatists. We
quote as follows: "The monochrome
lists believe and profess themselves
to be members of the Church of Eng
land; though there are parts of her
doctrine and discipline to which they
refuse to conform. They refuse to
separate themselves from her COM
munion. The free churches of to-
day are the descendants of those
whom these nonconformists always
called separatists. Nonconformists
thought it was a sin to separate from
the Church of England; the sepa.
ratists taught the very contrary
namely, that it was a sin to remain
in communion with her.

HELD UP A TRAIN.
Kansas City Southern Express and Mall
Cars Looted by Seven Masked Men
Near SpIro, 1. T.

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 1.-THE
southbound Kansas City Southern
train was held up Wednesday night
at II o'clock one-half mile north of
Spiro, I. T., by seven masked men.
The robbers tagged the train be-
tween Spiro and Redland. While two
of the seven men covered the engi-
neer and fireman with revolvers,
others forced a porter who had ap-
peared on the steps of the forward
coach to uncoupIe the baggage car
from the rest of thte train. The bag
gage car uncoupled, the engineer was
compelled to pull up the road dis
tance of one mile. There the robbers,
after disarming the messenger, went
through the baggage and mail car.
The work finished, one of the rob
bers handed the messenger the re-
volver taken from him and all made
for the timber

ROOT WOULD BUY THEM.
He Says Uncle Sam Should Take the FrIar
Lands in Philippines and Remove
Cause of Discomfort.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-Secretary
Root was heard on the question of
the Friar lands in the Philippines be-
fore the house committee on insular
affairs Friday. He said these land
holdings constituted one of the chief
causes of discomfort among the peo-
pie; they were the hotbeds of linsur-
rection and had furnished Aguinaldo
his chief appeal to popular prejudice.
The secretary said the religious or
ders so fully recognized the bad con-
dition of affairs that they were dis
posed to sell out and he urged that
the government take advantage of the
opportunity to remove the chief
causes of discomfort in the islands.
He did not believe condemnation pro-
ceedings would be necessary as there
were indications that a fair price
could be agreed upon. A rough esti-
mate of the value of the lands, he
said, was from 100000 to s7,5Oo,oo
American money.

PARADoxICAL, BUT CORRECT.
Rapid Growth of Cities In the North Is
Balanced by Increase in Small
Towns in the South.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The director
of the census Saturday gave out
statement regarding the growth of
urban population north and south,
which shows the following facts:
The large cities, taken collectively,
are growing nearly twice as rapidly
as the rest of the country; the per
cent. of the population of northern
states living in large cities in nearly
three times as great as the CORE
spending per cent. in the south; the
north has a rate of increase no greater
than that of the south. The large
cities in the north are growing faster
than those of the same size in the
south, but this difference is bal
anced by an extremely rapid growth
of small town and cities in the south
and especially by the high rate OK
increase of southern rural popula-
ton. The statement says these re-
suits seem paradoxical but are cor
rect.

THE WORK OF WOLVES.
What the United States Has Done tt
CurtaiI G1e Destructiveness
of the Animals.

When one or two men or well-grown
boys are killed and eaten by wolves in
the forests of Canada or the lumber
regions of Maine or Minnesota, the in
cident causes much excitement in dis
tricts where the conditions are similar.
1t is regarded everywhere as a rare
tragedy. The number of human vic
Tins of wolves in all North America,
in any year, must be very small. Fatal
attacks by these beasts are altogether
exceptional, says the Cleveland Leader
That this is so, like the swift dis.
appearance of the wolf in the older
parts of the United States, indicates
that the American wolf, though classed
as the same animal, is less dangerous
and destructive and also less able to
resist efforts to eXterminate his spe-
cies than the common wolf of Europe.
In that continent, where the population
nas long been much denser than it is
now in the United States, wolves still
cause great mischief and end a good
many human lives every year.
It is astonishing that at this late
date the wolf should be quite common
in countries like Spain, Greece, Italy
and France, but in recent years 400 or
annually. Much harm to poultry, do.
mestic animals and game birds is
caused by wolves in all of the coun-
tries mentioned. In Russia and in
southeastern Europe and also in the
Scandinavian peninsula wolves are
too common and too bold to make the
killing of a man or boy by such beasts
remarka BILE.
In some years over 200 persons have
been slain by wolves in Russia, and
in that country they are the cause
of damages to stock which are very
serious. The average cost of their
depredatiOns ranges from s., OOO, 600
to $7,O00,OO0 year, not to speak of the
terrible havoc wrought among useful
wild animals.
The conditions are 30 different from
any which have existed in the older
parts of the United States, within the
memory of the present generation, that
they are hard to realize. They make
the rare tragedies and more common
annoyances which can be charged to
the wolves of Canada and the wilder
parts of this country seem of small i'm
portance, and the query is raised
whether the wolf of America is not nat
urally less ferocious and less bold than
his kinsman of Europe.
If there is really no difference then
the good shooting and free use of fire.
arms in the United States must be
credited with having done more to sub
due wolves and rid the country of them
than all the efforts which have been
made for centuries to do the same thing
in eastern and northern Europe.
