DANCING.

The pastor of the Central Meth
odist church earnestly and affec-
tionately requests the members
of his flock to abstain from dane
ing, or attending the weekly dance
recently inaugurated in our0city.
Paragraphs 664-666 of the Dis
cipline reads:
AT latter point of the address
to which are attached the sigma
lures of the sainted Paine, Pierce,
Kavanaugh, Wightman, Marvin,
Doggett, and McTyeire, and of
our present senior bishop oc.
ours this still more explicit and
emphatic statement:
An explicit utterance Vas Civ
en- by order of the last General
Conference in our pastoral adj
dress on the subject of WORLDLY
Amusements.' We now repeat
that utterance. We abate none
OF its teachings with respect
either to the manifest inconsis-
tency of such indulgences with
the spirit and profession of the
gospel, or the peril which thew
bring to the souls of men. Their
multiplied 0and insidious forms
are source of perpetual tempta-
ton and damage, and are de-
nounced by the word of God, and
by that part of the General Rules
which forbids the taking of such
diversions as cannot be used in
the name of the Lord Jesus
This denunciation is explicit and
comprehensive, and the name of
the Lord Jesus in this connec-
ton is a decisive test, and we are
content to leave the issue to it's
sovereign arbitrament. Among
st these indu1gences which cam
not stand this solemn test is the
modern dance, both in it's private
and in its public exhibition, as
utterly opposed to the genius of
Christianity as taught by us.
When persisted in, it is a iustif-
able ground of judicial action by
the Church authorities"
In this same condemnation.
as equally contrary to the Scrip
lures, which declare that "thc
friendship q the world is cnmity
against God" to our General
Rules, and to the VOWS which all
our members have voluntarily
assumed, this General Conferen-
&c would include card-playing,
attendance upon
race-courses, circuses, and the
like. These offenses are, like.
wise, iustifiable grounds of dis
cipline.

A FALSE RUMOR.

Wednesday we came face to
face with a well defined rumor to
the effect that for some reason,
all of the whiskey license tax for,
1902 had not been paid into the
treasury by the four saloons do
ing businesslhere last year. We Of
course did not believe the rumor
but went to the city hall to in
vestigate, not solely with the pur-
pose of protecting the tax payers
interest, but with the wish to do
the administration justice and if
the facts justified to do the fair
and manly thing by the saloon
men.
The tt int of the Enterprise
defendin he saloons may be
new one we do not hesitate to
do so. hey have enough to
answer for in the ordinary course
of events, and are entitled to be
protected against false rumors.
The city assessed each saloon
$500 for the privilege of dispens-
ing the ardent from January 1st
to July 1st and $500 for the last
six months of the year or $1,000
each for the year, and we find on
examination of the Treasurer's
books that each of them paid
$500 : early in January and
$500 again in July making total
of S., 900 for the four for the year.

Remodeling g Gown.


 The old fashion tight fitting lace gown with elbow sleeves may easily be remod- eled so that it will look very charming, and as this is the time of the year for rearranging ones old gowns let me tell you how to do 1t. Let us suppose the waist to be made with a blouse hooking under the left arm and on the shoulder. First remove the high collar and finish the neck opening with a narrow velvet ribbon. the edge of which just shows in irregular lines. This would be very smart of turquoise blue velvet, and the plain blouse might be made much handsomer if cut turquoise beads were spangled over it back and front to simulate pointed yoke effect. If the effect is too fiat and plain a trail of artificial pale blue flowers can be fastened lightly over the left side.
 Next take the sleeves. They should be cut off to make pointed caps. Buy three yard lace scarf to match the lace of your

 An incident of our stay in London was General Booth stumbling quite inadvert- ently upon her Majesty Queen Alaxandra and having splendid view of King Ed ward and the Prince of Wales.
 General Booth had gone to Kensington Garden to the dog show, for no more i'm portant reason than that he wanted to examine some bulldogs. He and his com panions thought the crowd big one. and as folk seemed lined up as though waiting for something to happen they concluded to wait and see what 1t was.

If the girl can sing, so much the better for her; but let her learn some songs which she can sing without effort and without (oh, worse than nothingD making fuss over them. People at a little evening gathering do not care to hear your rendi- ton of grand opera, but they are, oh, so grateful for a cheerful little song which comes without effort If you have no voice perhaps you can whistle know a very pretty little southern girl who has cultivated this apparently small gift till it has brought her many friends and good times. not to speak of much pleasure in her own home circle.

The Presidents Weakness.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
 Roosevelt abandons leadership on the cur- rency question because certain other people do not agree with him. This must be re- garded not only as a retreat on his part in the face of obstacles that were entirely prob able when he thought that he would make specific recommendation. but illustrative of his yielding character as a statesman. He wants to be renonnnatsd much more than he wants to make a fight for currency If he imagines that he can fetch Congressman around to the support of his views by sbandonlng them whenever they are opposed. he is fooi- ish man in his office. He has already yielded so much that Congress does not expect him to be determined and persistent in anything
