FOR UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAW
Presbyterian Assembly Wants Con.
certed Action by Churches.

|
| New York, May 24.-The subjects OF
marriage and divorce and recent criti.
cisms of the Bible by professors in
| Theological seminaries came before the
| Presbyterian General Assembly in the
shape of committee reports which were
| submitted yesterday.
| The report of the committee on
church poity stated that commune
cation from the committee Of the gen
eral association of the Protestant Epis-
copal church had been received, making
request for the appointment of a com
mittee of conference on marriage and
divorce and that overtures on the same
subject had been received from the
Presbyterians of Baltimore and Wash
ington.
The committee recommended the fol-
lowing:
:" That in response to the fraternal
request of the committee of the Prot
estant Episcopal church, the General
Assembly of the PRESBYTERIAN church
in the United States appoint a COM
mittee of nine-five ministers and four
elders-to confer with the committee
of the Protestant Episcopal church, and
with similar committees that may be
appointed by other churches, with a
view to securing some concentrated
opinion and action by the churches
of America relative to divorce ana re-
marriage, and so to affect public opin-
ion that uniform legislation may be
enacted by the state that will conserve
the family istitution and preserve the
sanctity of the marriage bond.

The river is still rising rapidly and
IS now reaching high stage, being ten
feet above lowWater mark. A great
portion of the low lands along the Mis-
sissippi are now flooded which greatly
impedes the people in getting from
place to place. For weeks this spring
when the river was slowly but con-
stantly falling there was universal
complaint along the river, but now it
has changed and there is great fear ex-
pressed of a high stage of water. The
rains came too early for the June rise
and there is now a fairly high stage,
but If the regular June rise does come
this summer, the river will probably
cover the greater portion of the low
lands along the shores and cause de-
struction among the crops.

this is taken to mean that the com

Some days ago Superintendent Bar
rett received information from the
county superintendent of Blackhawk
county in regard TO the operation OF
books agents who We're making use OF
the handbook of Iowa schools, which
embraces a course of study for all
schools as q medium for approaching
prospective purchasers of q cyclopedia
Complaint had been made that by a
clever mixing of the book published by
the state and the prospectus of the
cyclopedia cusomers We're led to be-
lieve that the cyclopedia was specially
Endorsed by the state superintendent
and was a distinct part of the course
of study. The matter was given pub
licity in this correspondence and
elsewhere and a few days later a wo-
man called on the state superintendent
and admitted that it was the firm She
represented that had been referred to
She explained just how the thing was
Worked--how the state course of study
is used in connection with the CYCLIC
pedia, how stress is laid on the fact
that the course of study was prepared
by the state superintendent, how nicely
the cyclopedia fits in, etc. In answer
to questions she admitted she could
sell a geography or book on botany on
the same way and convince a GUS
toner it was especially made to fit
out how carefully the agents are in
structed to avoid any complications
by specific representations. But Sup
Barrett is convinced that
while legally the agents do not make
improper use of state book to con
fuse and deceive customers they do in
fact do a substantially dishonest bust
ness and he distinctly refuses his sane
ion of the same.

Was Regarded as One oil the
Greatest Diplomats in
History.
He Had Been in the Service Of
His Government Thirty
Seven Years.

Washington, May 24.-Lord Paunce

morning at $50. About o'clock h
suddenly developed very weakened

ly, not having regained consciousness
from the sleep he fell into during the
night. His family and part of the en-
bassy staff We're at his bedside when
death came. No arrangements have
been made for the funeral. AS soon as
it became generally known that
Pauncefote was dead, flags We're half
masted over the different embassys and
legations.
Right Honorable Lord Pauncefote OF
Preston, G. c. b., G.. c. G., first anbas-
sador to the United States and dean of
the diplomatic corps in Washington,
was born in Munich, Bavaria, seventy
four years ago and was the issue OF one
of the most ancient families, whose his
Educated as a lawyer, his governmental
service began in Hong Kong as attorney
general in 1866 and after much valuable
colonial experience he came to Wash
ington in 1855. His service here has
been one unbroken record of successful
diplomacy. The Bering sea negotiatfens
were among his earliest works OF i'm
portance. The arbitration treaty nego-
tiated with Secretary Oiney was the
forerunner of the great work accom-
plished at The Hague, and it may be
said it embodied some of the most i'm
portant principles of the great general
convention regulating arbitration after
wards framed by The Hague confer
ence. Then came a number of reciproc-
ity treaties and arrangements involving
q vast amount of study and work, all
of which were perfected as far as the
executive branch of our government
could cooperate with Pauncefote.
Soon after Secretary Hay assumed
office Pauncefote began the task wLlCL
he himself regarded as the greatest
of his busy life
namely, to forever set at rest the ques-
tions growing out of the old Clayton
ergy again upon negotiations, the rel
suit of which was the framing of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty, recently rati-
fed. For these valuable services thu
British government did Pauncefote the
honor to three times extend the term
of his service at Washington, which
would otherwise have ceased when he
the age of seventy.
The president drove to the British
embassy, at o'clock as soon as he be-
came disengaged from the ceremonies t
tending the Rochambeau exercises. H
was received in the drawing room by
the First Secretary of Embassy, Mr.
Raikes, who now becomes British
charge de affairs. The president ex-
pressed bereavement at the death OF
the ambassador, not only on behalf |
Of the government, but also for the
w1aole country, to whom Pauncefote |
had become endeared in many ways
Secretary Hay and other members OF |
the cabinet also called at the embassy |
eavtng cards expressing condolences.

YANKEES ON SHAMROCK II.
Sir Thomas's Third Challenger Will
 Be Tested in Novel Manner.

Sir Thomas's Third Challenger Will
 Be Tested in Novel Manner,
 London, Feb 11.-Sir Thomas Lip toms third challenger for the. Ameri- ca's cup will be tested against Sham rock II with an American crew and skipper on board the latter boat. This decision is the outcome of the statement that Columbia was better handled during the cup races last year. No American captain has yet been asked to show what he can get out of Shamrock II, and probably no captain will be asked to do so until the end of the coming season. But Sir Thomas has decided that after his new challenger has been thor oughly tried here against Shamrock I, another series of trials shall be car ried out over the cup courses against Shamrock II in American hands.
 By this means it is hoped to show how far George L. Watson's opinion of his boat was justified and to give to the third challenger such a tun- ing up as to assure that she shall not suffer from being brought to the starting line in an untried condition.

This City.
 Professor NJ. T. Dwyer was in Wa terbury last evening and he was much pleased over the reception he is receiving in New Haven. He has already started off with a class of six ty and incidentally there are two wrestling matches being talked of. He has agreed to throw Jack Harvey of New York five times in one hour and has also agreed to throw Alcorn, the Yale instructor. three times in one hour. He will remain in New Haven for some months.
 All the way from Chicago comes an- other wrestler of renute who is anx- ious to have try at Professor Dwyer or any other wrestler in the east. He is Frank Gehle, better known as the "German Hercules,' He bars none of the wrestlars and will make a match of any kind at catchweights He will agree to throw Dwyer two falls in one hour at the Graeco- Roman style Of wrestling or he will wrestle Dwyer catch-as-catch-can on even up terms. AS the fire might interfere with large attendance he will agree " AA~Ne OAIACi OAC OI luOSO IudCcnoS for side bet of S250 and the match can be pulled off in private or public. He not only hurls these challenges at Dwyer. but the same terms are open to any of the eastern wrestIers. First come, first served.
 James $. Carroll has had S25 in the hands of the Democrat sporting edi- tor for the past few weeks waiting to hear from John E. Kelly. whom he challenged for Max Wiley of New York. Evidently he believed that the challenge would not bear fruit. for he pulled down the forfeit to-day. A match between these two men would be good card and perhaps later they may come together.
 A wrestling match for a purse of $500 between Atlas and Professor Alexander Anderson will take place tomorrow night in Sulzer's Harlem River Park hall, 127th street and Sec ond avenue, New York. Atlas will undertake to throw Anderson twice Sn one hour, Graeco- Roman and catch as-catch-can styles.

Industrial Commission for an Eight
 Hour Day.

Washington, Feb 1.-The third part of the industrial commissions final re. port has been made public. It treats of labor, immigration, taxation and ir- rigatiOn. Regarding labor the follow ing recommendations are made: Con 2resS having no power to 1egislate di- rectly upon the subject, it is recon mended that the several states estab- fish uniform hours of labor and also regulate the hours of employment of children between the ages of 14 and 21 The working day of all public employ ment, the report says, should be eight hours, in the hope that it would bring private employment to the same standard. The period of work in un- derground mines should be eight hours day. It is recommended that con- gress. under it's powers as to interstate commerce, prohibit any person under Is years of age being employed as tel egraph operator on railroads; that all engineers and Switchmen should S1Ib- init to an examination for color blind ness; that 1t should be a misdemeanor Tor an engineer or switchman to be in- toyicated while on duty.
 Regarding injunctions the commits slon says: "The question of the an- f0rcement of the labor contract bv i,,- Junctlon or contempt in equity pro- cess IS a very difficult one. mainly so lnade Dy the abuses which have arisen rom lnJunctions carelessly issled by !earned judges or by the unlearned Judges of inferior courts in states which confuse chancery and common law Jurisdiction.
