Minister Resipns

Advanced ideas as to the regulation of
his personal habits seem to be the domi.
nant factor in the troubles which beset the
professional relations of the Rev. G..
Heathcote Hills, who is said to be going
back to West Chester, Pa, to make his
home there permanently.
Mr.. Hills has just resigned the rector
ship of Christ Episcopal Church in St.
Joseph, Mo-, because some of his influ-
entail parishioners objected to his smoking
cigarettes, attending the theatre and doing
other things which they considered un-
suitable for wearer of the cloth.
1t was his wife's vivaciousness which
led to the retirement of Mr. Hills from the
rectorship of Holy Trinity church, West
Chester.
Mr.. Hills is a son of the late Rev. George
Morgan Hills, of Burlington. He became
rector of Holy Trinity church, West
Chester, in 1891, serving until the begin
ming of 1898. Mrs. Hills is daughter of
James B. Pearson, vice president of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company,
of Newark
Soon after their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Hills went to live in Riverton. Later the
young clergyman was called to rectorship
of Holy Trinity, the first parish in Ches
ter county in point of wealth and culture
At that time Mrs. Hills was about 20
years old. She was beautiful women
and much admired. Mrs Hills is a must
clan of marked ability and she was Sc
lected as church organist at a salary of
$500 year. Suddenly she resigned. The
reason was not made public.
The rectory in those days was very
popular house, especially with the younger
Pensioners. The circle of callers grew
narrower in time. It was whispered that
the extent to which young men were en-
tertained at the rectorY was viewed with
uneasiness by staid vestrymen.
Several young men. who had been fire.
quent callers at the rectory, went there no
more. One of them suddenly left West
Chester. Eventually Mrs. Hills resigned
the leadership of the Choral Society. A
few days after the society received Mrs.
Hills resignation the rectory was closed.
Inquirers were told that the clergyman
and his wife had gone away for several
months
In the choir was youth named How
ard Garrett, eighteen years old, who was
PANIED as the correspondent in the divorce
case which the Rev. Mr.. Hills subsequent
ly prosecuted with success.
Reports from St. Joseph say that no
criticism of Mr.. Hills was evoked on
moral grounds. He was member of the
Country Club there, to which many of
his Pensioners belonged. The rector
played golf with his friends, sat in their
boxes at the theatres, smoked and partici-
pated in most of the amusements common
to men of his set.
When some of the leading members of
his church demonstrated with him he gave
no heed to what they said. They retail
ated by remaining away from the ser
vices. He went away for the summer
and returned to find that the hostility
against him was not lessened.
Without assigning a cause Mr.. Hills an
nounced his resignation at the close of
the evening service last Sunday.

A FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.
st. Nicholas in 1908 Promises to Go Far
Beyond Past Successes.

Professor John Bach McMaster recently
wrote to the editors of st. Nicholas:
Thank you very heartily for the pleasure
and profit st. Nicholas brings to my boys. -
Boys and girls are very much alike the
world over. The delight and help thai
st. Nicholas is giving to Professor Nc
Masters boys, and thousands of other
girls and boys, it holds for every girl and
boy who can understand English.
Since the first number of 81. Nicholas
was published, nearly thirty years ago,
many weekly and monthly publications
for children have come and gone; but st.
Nicholas still holds its place, the unrival-
led prince of periodicals for young folks y
1t was never more enjoyed by it's readers
than now, for in addition to the usual
serial stories short articles, etc, there is
department called 1.-The st. NicAOIa,
League" in which the children them.
selves have an opportunity to take part.
There are said to be nearly fifty thousand
children now belonging to the League,
and prizes are given out each month fol-
the best stories, poems, drawings and
photographs sent in by the young mem
beers. Any reader of St Nicholas may be.
come member.
ST. Nicholas announces for 1908 '"The
Story of King Arthur, written and illus
trated by Howard Pyle, companion
story to his famous robin Hood" but
which readers of the manuscript think
surpasses that in the strength and interest
of the narrative and beauty of the illus
trations. Two short stories by Miss AL
colt, written for her own little nieces and
never before published, will soon appear
in st. Nicholas with other stories anC
articles by the author of MRS. Wigs Of
the Cabbage Patch" by Ruth McEner,
Stuart, Frank r. Stockton. Clara Morr s
aud scores of other well-known writers
st. Nicholas makes a specially of paper
of information, richly illustrated articles
on practical subjects, like the Navy Yard
the Assay Office, etc.
The price of St. Nicholas is three dollar
a year. The publishers announce tina
new subscribers who begin with Januar,

SEA WALL FOR GALVESTON.
Bonds to be Issued to Pay for One
to Cost 81, 100000.

Dallas (Texas) News.
Some two months ago the Galveston
City Council engaged the services of a
board of three expert engineers of ma
tional fame to devise plans for the pro-
lection of the city. Their report is just
in, and is to the effect thai sucn p.o-
lection Is feasible by the construction of
a sea wall and raising the city. An ad-
equate sea wall with the filling or back
ing needed can be provided for $1,500,000.
To raise this amount ii Is proposed for
the County of Galveston to issue bonds
of the denomination of 800 each. bear
ing 4 per cent. interest. such bonds to
be paid for in twenty monthly INSTALL
ments. The tax rolls show the assess
able values of the city to be about $2O,-
600. 900.
The outside world will be asked to
lend a helping hand by subscribing for
a share of these county bonds, which are
declared by competent financiers to be
amply secured by values in the city and
county.
After the storm thousands of letters
were received by tn. business people of
Galveston from thei connections. prof
fering assistance, Those who were will
ling to lend a helping land over a year
ago can do a greater favor now by pur-
chasing some of these bonds, not as a
donation, but as good investment.
While the offer to dispose of the securi-
ties is general. 1t would appear quite in
order for Texans to feel and to take a
leading part in the movement to make
seonre for all time the port city, in which
every resident of the State has a special
interest.

MOODY AND CRUMPACKER.
Absurdity Of the Attempt to Base
Congressional Representation
on Voters.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Our friends of the Crumpacker- Moody
crowd have struck hard row Of stumps
Their little scheme to lop off about ten
Congressman from the Southern States
has landed promptly on the postpone
n1ent" toboggan and the oid-timers of the
Republican party. like Uncle Joe" Can
non. who yet remember the force bill
and Johnnie Davenport days, have pre-
pared the dull thuddery to- accord II O
hearty and final entombment.
1t SENS funny. anyhow. that two such
busy and blooming Congressman as
Crumpacker and Moody should have got
ten tangled UP with this bumptious freak
scheme. We have looked into their
speeches and interviews in a vain guest
to find how they proposed to base repre-
sentation to fit their purpose. Both OF
them seem to be as thoroughly in nubibus
on that subject as IL they were already
touring the Empyrean in Santos-Du-
mont air transport.
What they really seem to be seeking
Is to get every negro of voting age in
tie South to the ballot box and compel
him to vote, and then compel the count
ing Of his ballot in the Republican
column. II the last effect Is not to be
guaranteed, how are they to know
whether he voted and was counted
Should he vote the Democratic ticket
how could they identify the ballot from
one cast by white man" And IL they
could not make that identification in
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-02-23

every case, how would they know that
their law was producing its intended re-
suits?
In another view, which is that of The
Philadelphia Press, If representation liz
based upon voters and not "apportioned
among the several States according to
their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons In each state.
excluding Indians not taxed" how Is the
number of voters to be ascertained? The
returns of the several States vary ac-
cording to incidental conditions. For in
stance, in Massachusetts, the total vote for
Governor In 1899 was 290.SS4, for President
in 1900 1t was 414,S01, and for Governor In
1901 1t was 324.520. The apportionment for
Congressman must be made once In ten
years. Now on which of the above re-
turns of voters in the untrammeled equal
suffrage State of Massachusetts, would
Mr. Moody base its representation for
the next ten years? 4
Again, IL the trouble with the present
plan is that a Southern Congressman Is
elected, as in Mr.. Richardson's case In
the Eighth District of Alabama by a
majority of 4,2sS in total poll of 22'O93
votes what was the matter in Mr. Conry' g
case, in the Ninth District Of Massachu-
sets, that the. total poll there was only
q, 052 and his plurality was S,o6S? Mr..
Mood yhimsef was elected in a district
that cast only 2S.S6s votes. Why should
one voter in his district count for almost
two of those in Mr.. Crumpacker's In
diana district that polled $500 votes?
Once more, II representation is to be
apportioned according to voters, what
shall be done in the case of Colorado?
She allows adult women to vote the same
as adult males. and in 1900 her First Con-
gressional District polled $3.50 votes and
the Second 117.5S9 votes. Her total State
vote was 221,3S6; her total Congressional
vote 21626S. In 1900 the proportional vote
per Congressman in Massachusetts was
1856. Now will Mr.. Moody explain why
one vote in his district should have more
power than four votes i'll Mr.. Bells dis
trict In Colorado? On the Bay State
basis Colorado would be entitled to seven
representatives!
The subject and the figures are anus
ing, but what's the use! The little joker
is took with spasms and We should
net harrow the feelings of Brothers
Crumpacker and Moody when they are
about 10 resolve themselves into a lodge
of sorrow!
