WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE

 Within radius of ten blocks of the
 Eagle office there are twelve abandoned
 churches. In some instances the build | ings are still standing, but are given | over to other purposes In one case, what was sacred edifice" is an auc- ton store in another. bicycle rink; In
 another, stable; in another. a tene- ment house, and so on. In half doZ-

 signs of For Sale" upon them. The
 population in the same areo ais greater
 than it has been at any time in the his
 tory of the city. These facts are not
 set forth in any spirit of criticism. In so far as the abandoning of these points may indicate any decay of the power and influence of the church, they are to be depored. It is but fair and candid to say that. in some cases, they do not indicate decay. In some localities there nave DtTI- Lpl years Ldl LOD l1ldHy churches-that is to say far more than were ever needed to supply the reli- gious needs of the population. Tn few other instances their abandonment has heen duo to changes of local condition for which the church is in no way re- sponsible and which rendered their re- moval necessity
 When all allowance has been made, there still remains the fact that the churches are not as well attended or as well supported to-day as they have been in the past. This is admitted and by clergy and laymen alike The condition in the area instanced is not pecumliar. It exists from Maine to Mexico from Moscow 60 Marseilles.

A Spaniard who is now on a tour of this country says that many American customs strike him as being most pecu- liar. For instance" he says, "I have seen advertisements in your papers of what you call dermatologists who re- move superfuous hair from women's faces. TheirHpaces, I learn, are called beauty parlors, and I find that in your country the women are much annoyed when hair grows on the upper lip. They go to the beauty parlor' and sub init to a painful operation in having this hair removed Now, in Spain it is just the other way. Our women con- slider 1t a mark of beauty to have a growth of soft, downy, dark hair shad- ing the mouth. A woman who would have this taken off would be considered crazy. But then I suppose every na- rion has it's own ideas of beauty"

The Manila Critic says that when General Weyler was sent as Governor General to Manila, Don Carlos Palanca, the wealthy Standardized Chinaman, whose funeral last September was marked by great pomp, determined to send Mrs. Weyler gift, the customary way of obtaining the goodwill of the Spanish officials. He found at a jewell ler's two necklaces, each costing s2oOO0, and both being so beautiful that he could not choose between them. So he sent them both to Mrs. Weyer, with the message that she should make her choice. He received a warm letter of thanks from her, stating that the neck laces were so beautiful that she could not decide between them, and hence would keep both, which she did.

MRS. FLAGLER'S HEIRS
Standard Oil Magnate Lays No
Claim to Estate of Ri.
yorced Wife.

New York, Aug. 2.-Evidence, hun
dreds of pages of it. has been taken
By ]. z. Hedges, referee, who has pre-
pared his report for the supreme court
as to kinship of relatives of Ida A
Flagler, formerly wife of Henry NJ.
Flagler of the Standard Oil company.
The estate of Mrs. FlagIer. which has
been in charge of committees since
she was declared to be incompetent,
amounted to s2.273.OO0 on Aug. f. 1899.
and has increased The net income
runs from $4,000 to $117 600 a year
An important point in the proceed
ings was whether Mr.. FlagIer had
through his divorce, lost his interest
in the estate of his wife if she should
die first.
Mr.. FIagler laid no claim TO such an
interest. but the question had not been
judiciaily determined.
The referee viii report that Mr.
Flagler has no interest whatever in the
estate.
a mass of evidence was sifted as tc
how the three foundlings, who are
nephews of Mrs. Flagler, came t.
learn of their relationship. Mrs
Flagler's maiden name was Shourds
Her sister, Mary Emma Taylor, dieC
on Feb. IS. 1864, and Mary's husband
Edward W. Taylor. gave the custody
of their three sons, William, Richard
and George, to the New York foUndIini
| asylum. Ten years later they wer,
apprenticed to farmers in Iowa. Il
! 1901, William, who had become a har
ness maker, became interested in hi
| family tree and the discovery of hi
| relationship TO Mrs. Flagler followed
| Richard. one of the three foundlings
I is a painter, while the third is an en-
gineer on the Northern Pacific rail
\ way.
The relatives, as judiciously deter
mined of Mrs. Flagler and the pro
| portion each will get OF her estate
| she dies, are:
Charles r Shourds, brother, one
quarter; Stephen Z. Shourds, brother
one-quaFter; Mrs Matte A johnson
sister, one-quarter, and the other quar-
ter will go among the three Taylors.
The referee advises that $4,000 q yea
of income be paid now TO the tire
Taylors so that each viii get a thir
of it. The two brothers and sister Q

tanned orders for 81 900 "a year eac

MAKE REPLY TO
MITCHELL'S NOTE
Citizens Alliance Scores Presi-
dent of Miners Union.
QUESTION HIS SINCERITY
MINERS SAY CERTIFICATES ARE
ISSUED CONTRARY TO LAW.

w ILKESBARRE, PA, Aug. 1.-The
w leaders OF the striking miners
promise TO spring a surprise in
a few days. They claim that after an
investigation they find that miners
certificates are being issued contrary
10 law and that the recipients of the
certificates, many of whom, it is al
legged never saw the inside of a coal
mine, are being pressed into the Serv-
ice of the coal companies
In this way, 1t is declared, the COM
panies are increasing the number of
their employees.
The new men, while they may not be
able to mine coal, can load it The
bosses can do the mining. Between
the two it viii be possible for some
of the mines to resume work on a
small scale
The strikers say that the certificates
are not being issued by mine 4xs min
/ ing boards. but by some person or
! persons who have access to the Of
! fetal papers Criminal PROSECUTIONS
. are talked of.
| The controversy between President
/ Mitchell and the Citizens alliance is
growing in bitterness. The alliance
made reply today to the letter pub
Tshed yesterday by Mr.. Mitchell
/ OlIlppcu OL cOiA0 VI III CaSOAa~aNANS
! the letter reads:
Mr.. Mitchell: You decline to ssZ
| in behalf of &he union and yourself
that you condemn boycotting, rioting
and violence perpetrated to prevent
men from working. Indeed you leave
the distinct and unpleasant impression
that you do not condemn these things
Is Mitchell Sincere.
IF you were sincere in your pro-
testation against iaWlessness, you
would not refuse, as you do refuse to
proclaim as we request your positive,
pointed and specific condemnation Of
the worst type Of lawlessness which
| undertakes to prevent men from freely
working for whom they please and
! upon such terms as they please; nor
would YOU pour Walls of your wrath
upon an organization which we admit
has no such foolish aim as to suppress
( Iawlessness on the part Of all who are
/ guilty of its commission, but does aim
to suppress that same worst type OF
| fawiessneSs which tnriVes upon the
fear of its victims 70 protest, and OF
civil sgthority- to protect against its
Z perpetratiea-
You are credited with having said
that you 'deprecate lawlessness COM
mitted by anyone and particularly by
men on strike. which. stripped OF its
hypocrisy, simply means that you OBJ
ject to aw-breaking because it hurts
the strikers and not because II hurts
society"
As far as the alliance\ is concerned,
il announces that the controversy is
now closed.
