Women and the Church.
Chicago Chronicle.

Admission Of women to the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church will
undoubtedly add zest and eloquence to those
periodical assemblies which 50 profoundly STIR
the pulse of the church and contribute matert-
ally to its energy.
1t requires prophetic gift to foresee that
this widespread and general recognition Of
woman In this militant church means ulti-
natelv more than sitting as delegates in the
general conference. The privilege OF voting
sooner or later generates the privilege of hold
ing office That to sit delegates in
the general conference means in due time or
dination to the ministerial rank and cOnse-
Grafton 10 the Episcopal dignity is rendered
probable by the universal trend OF progress as

Cleveland and the Labor count.


Ex-President Cleveland evidently believes
that great possibilities for good resides in the
court OF labor" Necently started by the Civic
Federation. He is not only strongly disposed
To keep out OF positions of public or sent

that here is a call which should not be de-

The Panama Canal.
Baltimore sun.


There is no need, of hurry; the commerce Of
the country will not suffer because OF a short
delay in the construction of interoceanic
waterway. 1t is essential to the success OF the
project that the shortest and most practica bic
route should be selected. If the French share
holders in the Panama Company are willing
to sell their property on reasonable terms,
their proposition ought TO be carefully inVesti-
gated. A little care and discretion before the
United States is committed irrevOcably to
any route may save this government many
millions Of dollars

BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by, the most competent autholi-
ties. They have dispelled the sill y
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part OF
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses OF Green
August Flower, the favorite medicine OF
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at f. S. Leadbeater

that he had learned that his wife had
been unfaithful and he had determined
to kill her. The dying man said:
"When we returned home | taxed her

EFFECT OF STRIKE ON COMING
ELECTIONS.

New York, Sept. 9.-SenatOr James
K. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the
democratic national committee, is in
this city today. Senator Jones, in an
interview, made some statements In
regard to the anthracite coal strike and
its possible effect on the forthcoming
election. He said: "The coal strike IN
Pennsylvania is clearly demonstrating to
the people what trusts really are. There
is no doubt to my mind but what this
strike will have the effect of electing
many democratic congressman. 1t may
mean. and think it will, democratic
House. The effect Will be felt to dem
ocratic advantage in every State in the
Union. Pennsylvania is, of course, a
republican stronghold, but have reason
to believe that there is cause for the
great dissatisfaction accentuated by the
coal strike. The election of Pattison
for Governor is more than probable.
In New York State, think the chances
are capital for the election of democratic
congres smen, No matter if the strike is
settled in the near futrre, the people
have seen what trusts are capable OF
doing and the effect will remain"

THE COAL STRIKE.

New York, Sept. 9.-The report was
current in this city today that a plan
was on foot by the Governors OF New
York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania to
appoint committees to meet in joint ses-
sion in the near future in an advisory
capacity for thepurpose of devising some
scheme of making arbitration OF labor
difficulties compulsory. There was no
substantial foundation for the report. i.

regarding the coal strike. Mr.. Schwab

ARSENIC SPRINGS.

Santiago, Tex, Sept. 9.-Reliabls in
formation has been received of destruc-
ton of life at Mapimi, Mexico, by the
breaking forth of arsenic springs in the
mountains near the city and that the
distributing reservoirs have been thor
oughly impregnated with arsenic. This
report, which lacks confirmation, says
that 80 persons are dead and over 400
seriously il.
San Aantonio, Tex. Sept. AID
ditional particulars from the town of
Maoigi, Mexico, to the effect that five
more persons have died and that few
are still in danger, but that practically
all the living are on the road to recovery.
Experts in that section are of
the belief that the poison is
the result of copper deposits, that
the vein of water struck copper vein
and was thus poisoned, rather than that
the arsenic ran into the reservoir.
