WOMEN MISSIONARIES.
Their Preponderance Over Men in the
Dangerous Fields.

Boston Advertiser.
The disturbances in the East are not held
to be sufficiently serious to call home our
missionaries who have stations in Japan, or
in China near the Russian frontier. The
women, married and unmarried, absolutely
refuse to leave their work, and the men
who are in the minority naturally remain
with them. Our missionary societies can
not explain satisfactorily, even to them
selves, why they send more young women
than young men to convert the heather
people and lesser breeds without the law.
1t is not officially stated that the women
are more successful than men, but they
predominant, almost exceeding the men in
numbers twofold.
In the Orient, including Japan and China
our missionary delegation is follows:
Japan, men, Y; married woman q; unmar-
ried women, 70. China, men, %; married
women, 81; unmarried women, 80 With
little protection, none save that of their
sex and the few men in their colony, the
women missionaries are the most persist
ent in any field and the most faithful They
are last to leave in time of danger. and
they are SO thoroughly absorbed in their
work that they oftentimes prefer death in
the cause of religion to an abandonment
of the purpose which has called them forth
from home comforts in their native land
Most of them are college girls, who with
every chance for advancement in the place
of their birth, have taken up the conversion
OF savage people with zeal which makes
religious devotion unsurpassed.
In such crises as the present between
Russia and Japan the missionaries, women
and men, are mighty factor for peace.
They WELD tremendous influence over an
uncivilized people. And when this influence
is submitted 10 the test the missionary al
ways tries to employ il in Christian way
In Russia, north or south, east or west
no missionary Is allowed, but at the pres
ent time, when Japan is eager to try con-
illusions with the great northern empire IL
is only the missionary spirit which can pre-
vent another great war. II hostilities are
averted IL will be the Mikado and his min
listers who will receive the credit, the Chris
tan missionaries in the background will
know that II is they who have wrought TO
prevent the shedding of blood.

Many interesting specimens have been
brought in by the botany students and are
now arranged on the walls. The pupils are
given a certain amount of credit, according
to the value of the things brought in, and
this fact greatly stimulates them in their
search. One of the most interesting of
those brought in is a camphor leaf.

referring to the advances made in mu-
nicipal engineering during the past ten
years, the electric street railway system
has been universally adopted by all cities
and large towns and by means of inter-
urban roads. cities. towns and villages have
been brought in close touch with one an
other. Owing largely to the method of
construction and the low cost OF the right
of-way. interurban companies have been
enabled TO charge lower rates than the
steam railway companies, with the result
ant effect OF so reducing the receipts of the
steam roads that in many cases the run
ming or local trains has been almost en-
tirely discontinued. From the experience
OF the past ten or twelve years ii has been
found advisable TO use much heavier type
or rail than was originally laid. The prac-
tice now In vogue is TO lay the rails upon
solid bed OF concrete. using iron tie bars,
wooden ties being entirely dispensed with.
Regarding the type of rail. when this mat

the most satisfactory style OF rail- es-

MINISTER'S OPPOSE DIVORCE.
Columbus Pastors Declare Against the
Custom Most vigorously.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Oct 20.-The Ministe-
rial Association held its regular monthly
meeting last night, and among the matters
which came UP for discussion was the ques-
ton of divorce. The abnoramlly large num-
Der Of divorces granted at the September
term of the Circuit Court is responsible for
the action which is reported to have been
taken by the association. Perhaps one
third of the cases heard by Judge Hord
during the six weeks that the late court
sat were divorce cases; and the judge, when
hearing the last divorce submitted during
the term, felt called upon to enter his pro-
test against the prevailing evil and to say
that if it were in his power many of the
petitions would be refused; that there
should be but one cause for divorce, and
that adultery; and that the Legislature
should amend the divorce laws.
1t is reported that the ministers adopted
a resolution, an adherance to which will
prevent any of them from solemnizing a
marriage if either applicant has been
divorced for other cause than adultery.

NASHVILLE, Ind, Oct. a0-Francis
Watson, of Brown county, and Mrs. Grace
Williamson, formerly Miss Ellsworth. were
married in st. Louis a few days ago. The
marriage was the elimination of romance
that began before the Spanish war; when
Watson was engaged to Miss Ellsworth.
He went to Cuba with volunteer regi-
ment, and failing to keep either his mother
or his fiance posted, they mourned him as
dead until he returned, to learn that the
girl in the meantime had become the wife
of Oscar Williamson. One child blessed the
union, and soon thereafter Williamson died
of typhoid fever.
Watson re-enlisted, and went to the Phil
ippines, and when he returned last month
he learned that Mrs. Williamson was a
widow. Arrangements were made by
mother and son TO meet in St. Louis. Mrs.
Watson took Mrs. Williamson along as a
travelling companion. AS soon Watson
and the young widow met they loved again,
and decided then and there to marry, which
they did They returned to their Brown
county home, but now Watson is dssatis-
fled and has left for parts unknown, though
he said he was going back to the boys in
the army.

SULLIVAN, Ind, Oct. 20.-The fling of
suit in partition by Mrs. Maria Dalton
discloses sorry matrimonial muddle. Mrs.
Dalton eight years ago was the wife of
William Wilkey, a civil war veteran. They
separated in 1897 and Wilkey instituted d.
vorce proceedings in the Circuit Court of
Vernlillion county. 1t was understood here
that Wilkey had secured divorce. but it is
now learned that no decree was ever
handed down. Shortly after the time the
supposed divorce was granted Mrs. Wilkey
married Henry Dalton, and Wilkey also
married again.
Three years ago Wilkey died and his
widow, wife No. 2, made application for a
pension. The pension Office demanded a
copy of the divorce decree, and, ascertain
ing that no divorce had been granted, noti-
fled wife Nc. J. Mrs. Dalton, that she was
entitled to the pension. Mrs Dalton now
brings suit for her one-third of certain
lands, which are a part of the Wilkey
estate.
