Action Of Rev. Cairns Causes Wide

Carlyle, H., Aug. 1.-THE Rev. 4.
\. Cairns, pastor of the Episcopal
church in this city, says it is bad
form for women and girls to attend
church in their bear heads. He recent
ly came here from New York and took
charge of the church. One evening
he saw several girls in the congrega-
ton without their hats Mr. Cairns
decided to stop it in his church and
posted a notice in the vestibule of the
church which reads:
"Women and girls are requested not
to attend church in their bare heads >
The eleventh chapter of Corinthians
was given as a reference. The verses
applying in this ease. supplemented by
comments prepared by religious au-
thority, read as follows:
The man that prays or prophesles
with his head covered dishonoreth his
head; that is, Christ, the Head of ey-
cry man, by appearing in a habit un-
suitable to the rank in which God has
placed him. The woman, on the 9TH
er hand who prays or prophesies with
the head uncovered dishonoreth her
head: for that is even all one as If
she were shaven. She appears in the
dress of her superior and throws off
her token of subjection. So uaght
With equal decency cut her hair sh'
or cut it close, the common dress Of
men in this age.
For, if the woman be not covered
let her also be shorn; but if it be a
shame for woman to De shorn or
shaven. let her be covered. For man
indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is the image and
glory of God; but the woman is the
glory of man.
The ruling made by Mr. Cairns has
been discussed extensively in church
circles by both pastors and laymen
throughout this section. All women
and girls who attend services at the
! Episcopal church wear their hats.

Contagior or 1eprosy.

London, Aug. 17.-Members of the
British Medical association, which is
in session at Swansea, are unable
to agree on the subject of leprosy. Sir
Patrick Manson and other authori-
ties warmly dispute the contention OF
Jonathan Hutchinson of London that
overwhelming evidence opposes the
belief that leprosy spreads by any or
dinary mode Of contagion.
To the eating of fish is ascribed
the whole of leprosy in the world The
medical profession, Mr.. Hutchinson
added. should declare it was the most
gross injustice to impMson lerers for
life

Borrowing Brilliancy.

st. Petersburg, Aug. f7.-Gornelius
VanGcrh It has instructed prominent
Jaw firm to bring suit for libel against
the Novosti newspaper, whose editor
Vanderbilt wants severely punished.
This is the editors crime:
"When Cornelius and his friends vis-
tied St. Petersburg in their yacht,
wrote the newspaper, the ladies were
hard up for jewelry. They dared not
hr.ng their tiaras and other geat jew
els to so barbarOus country as Rus
sia. Yet the ladies did not care to
appear without jewelry at dinner
party given on the yacht to several
members of the ST. Petersburg aristo-
cracy. So they made the rounds or
the great jewelers. of the capital, Sc
lected a sackful of bracelets, earrings.
necklaces and headdrxses and had
them sent to the yacht on approval.
These borrowed plumes they wore at
the dinner, and sent them back next

OPINION OF JAMES x. JONES.
Former Senator From Arkansas Calls
Cleveland "lmpossbility.''

Former Senator James K. Jones Of
Arkansas is at Lake Minnetonka, vis-
iting his daught er. where the follow
ing story was written of him day or
so ago: Senator Jones is still chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee and a firm adherent of W. j.
Bryan.
Discussing possible nominees for
next year, he says Grover Cleveland is
an impossibility Having bolted the
ticket in 1896 and 1900, he says
Cleveland could not get th@ loyal
support of the six and a half M Mons
who stood by BEEsan. .aA
While Senator Jones does not con-
slider Mr.. Bryan as dictator, he
thinks Bryan is the natural spokes-
man for a large portion of the faithful
and candidate not favored by him
can not be nominated. The senator
does not declare himself positively for
any one man.

Discha arged.

Hot Springs, Ark. Aug. 17.-The pre-
liminary examination of D. w. Clal-
borne and Mrs. Lydia Gaines. charged
with the murder of the lattes's hus-
band three years ago, came to a sud
den termination Saturday morning,
when the states attorney requested
the discharge of the defendants. the
case at first promised to be one OF
the most sensational ever tried in
this county, and the sudden ending by
dismissal surprised many. The pros
ecution clearly established that Abner
Gaines did not commit suicide, yet
there was not a scintilla of direct eVl-
dence of the guilt of the prisoners.
Seeing the hopelessness of a further
tedious hearing, the prosecuting at
torney acted upon his Judgment form

FIVE DROWNED.
DISTRESSING Accident to Pleasure
Party Near Hickman.

Hickman. Mar. "a distressing
tragedy occurred at q point on the
Mississippi River a few miles be
low here called Dry B. A party OF
four young men and two young
women had been TO social gath
lering on the Missouri side, having
crossed in skif from the Ken
lucky side. 1t was night and the
little craft had been forced across
the swollen and treacherous river to
point within fifty yards of home.
The boat, entering an unusually
swift current or "run, was driven
broadside against huge drift and
was instantly sucked under.
One young lady, Miss Higgins
succeeded in springing upon the
drift, from which she was shortly
afterwards rescued. None OF the
others we're ever seen or heard of.
This is one Of the saddest trag-
edies ever known to have occurred
on the river here. Old rivermen
say that to permit boat in a fast
current to strike a drift broadside
is certain capsize.
