Bishop Coleman of Delaware goes
on tramp through the mountains of
West Virginia every summer and, of
course, has many odd experiences.
Last summer, clad in old and DUST
covered clothes, he entered an inl.
where several mountaineers sat talk
inc. One Of them with Characteristic
hospitality invited him to take drink
but the bishop courteously declined.

'Why, no, my frlend," said the
stranger wonderingly. 'sThen,' said
the mountaineer with scorn, "I don t
think yon are fit company for man OF

The revised returns Of railroad con.
struction of 1902 show total of 6, OPS
miles, the largest cince 1888. Heavy
as this is. the probability is that the
construction Of 1903 will not only ex-
coed it, but also surpass any previous
year. Over eighty-five hundred miles
to be constructed during the year are
actually under contract. In addition
to the roads under contract under con
struction, some three Thousand miles
will probably be built, making total
of II, 900 miles in round numbers.

United States Judge Adams, at ST..
Louis, has dissolved the injunction
granted March 3 against the offcials
OF certain railroad brotherhoods re-
straining them from ordering strike
Of the Wabash employees. His present
decision is based on the ground that
the averments of the complaint were
not sustained, that the employees
themselves not only favored but had
ordered she strike, and that there was
no evidence of conspiracy on the part
of the onicials to interfere with the
operating of the road. The opinion
leaves no doubt that If there had been
evidence Of a conspiracy against the
railroad or of purpose to bring on a
strike by coercion it would have
granted permanent injunction. The
courts are as careful not to interfere
With personal rights as they are to
protect them against interference

One year ago traffic experts were
saying that railway earnings
could not possibly equal the high
mark of 1901 with its total gross in
crease of s110, 900, 900. The figures
which have been completed in railway
operations for the calendar year show
that this prophecy was unfounded and
that the railroads enjoyed the most
remarkable year in their history.
Total gross earnings Of railroads hav-
ing about 200, 900 miles Of read were,
in round numbers, 81, 100, 900, 600,
which is an increase over the previous
year of about sl05, 600, 900.

Under the irrigation law OF the last

has approved of five irriga ion pro-

located one each in Wyoming, Color
ado, Nevada, Montana and Arizona.
1t is estimated that they will render
possible the irrigation Of about 1,0O0,-
600 acres Of land, at an average cost
of q. SO an acre. That will not make
very cheap land for settlers and it is
doubtful if the government will ever

not bother the Maryland man much.
German and two or three other demo-
Gratis In 1894 changed the Wilson free
trade bill in such way that its
author did not know 1t, and repudi-
ated it. Mr.. Cleveland's opinion of
German s work at that time is on rec
ord, and does not make pleasant read
ing for democrats. The modified
protectionists'' are much more numer-
Gus In the democratic party today
than they we're when Cleveland was
denouncing them nine years ago.

Trade With Germany.

The German meat inspection law,
passed almost three years ago, went
fully into force Thursday. 1t is sup
posed to be in the interest OF public
health, and the suggestion that it is
meant to cripple trade with the Unit
ed States is repudiated. The law alb
solutely forblds the importing from
this country OF grape vines and pota-
toes. Live plants or parts of plants,
and fresh fruit, if it appears from ex-
animation at the port of import that
they are infected with the San Jose
scale, may not be imported. All sweet
substances or articles of food contain
ing sweet substances are excluded.
The Importation of meat in alright
cans or similar receptacles, sausages
or other chopped meats, is forbidden,
as is the importation of meats cured
by boracic acid, formaldehyde. sui
phuric acid and other acids. Fresh
meats, unless consisting OF the whole
carcass containing the inner organs,
SO as to permit Of sanitary inspection,
may not be imported. There are other
provisions Of great severity.
1t is to be borne in mind that the
exclusion Of meat in cans, boracic
cured meat and sausages has been in
force since September l, 1901. THIS
has had the effect of greatly lessening
American exports. However, 1T is
said that the exporters are endeavor-
ing to cure meat without the use OF
Loracic acid, and it is thought that
the meat trade will not be greatly cur
tailed. Our exporters may be trusted
to find some way Of meeting the emer-
gency. And it may be that the re-
strictions will not operate unsavorably
after all. The prices Of meat in Ger
many are high, and the supply IS
scarce. So there is likely to be a
chance for American meat. INDIAN

At the meeting OF the ministers as
ISOLATION at Lafayette last Monday
morning, Rev. w. E. Mckenzie, for
three years pastor of the NJ. E. church
at Plymouth, read paper on "The
Right Attitude of the Church on Di-
vorce" which brought out lively dis
cussion and was published in all the
Lafayette papers.
AS result of this paper the preach
ers of Lafayette announce that they
will hereafter re-marry no divorced
person except the innocent party.
where divorce was granttd on the
charge of adultery.
Mr.. McKenzie's paper was an ex-
haustive discussion of the divorce
question from scriptural standpoint
and while declaring that the church
should know no standard of marriage
lower than the standard set by Christ,
he showed that nothing is doing more
TO demoralize society and undermine
our civilization than our divorce laws,
and the attitude of some ministers in
dealing with this question.
He showed conclusively that Christ
taught that marriage is ordained Of
God for the union, two in one flesh and
that the Intention of God in creation
was for two, and two only, as long as
both shall live.
Marriage and divorce mark the be-
ginning and dissolution of the family.
The family is no temporary arrange
ment to be set aside because Of some
fancied or real injury of one or the
other parties. Persons entering upon
christian marriage undertake reSpon-
sibility from which there is no escape
He closed by declaring that the
evils of unrestricted divorce and mar
riage are of so serious nature as to
call for the most vigorous treatment.
The church can in nc way put her
stamp of disapproval upon divorce SO
effectively as by denying remarriage
to divorced persons. 1t will be a glad
day for our national and family life
when all branches of the church act
IN unison upon this great subject that
so vitality affects society.

Richmond, Ind, April 4. - Charles
w. Miles, a farmer on the Middle
boro pike, four miles north of here,
tells story of a cat that is nursing
three kittens and eleven young rats.
Miles says the Get is not partial In
her motherly care. While making an
excavation near his barn few days

In the barn, not far away, was the cat
with her kittens, hardly twenty-four
hours old, in a box. Miles took the
rats to the barn and placed them near
the box
The mother cat showed interest at
once and lifting one rat in her teeth,
helped it into the box with the kittens.
In short time she had taken charge
Of all the strangers. The cat has
no trouble in watching over her nur-
sery and Miles is wondering what she
will do with the rats when they open
their eyes and begin to show traits Of
their species.

VENEZUELA NOT TO PAY TIE COST

Washington, April A joint con-
ference between Bowen and the rit-
ish and Italian ambassadors and the
German first secretary was held at the
British embassy yesterday on the
Venezuelan imbroglio. Bowen pre-
sented his reply to the amendments
which the allies had proposed to his

several changes of phraseology in the
convention, but informed the other ne
gotiators that under no circumsta noes

article providing that Venezuela
should pay the costs of the blockade
in case the decision at The Hague be
adverse to preferential treatment. His
refusal on this point was absolute.

reason of the fact that they blockaded
the ports of Venezuela so as to COM

ly objected, adding to article 1 Of his
protocol this amendment proposed by
the allies: I'm deciding the question
of preferential or seperate treatment

resources of Venezuela other than the
80 per cent. customs revenues so set
aside, which may be available for the
claims of other powers"

He also opposed inserting the fol-
lowing as a new article to be desig-
mated article 2: IF preferential or
separate treatment is not given to
Great Britain, Germany or Italy, the
tribunal may consider whether any and
what compensation should be made by
Venezuela out of the 80 per cent. of

other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular

every other part. Yet, however
