Novelty in Services.

London, Jan. 24-With the double
object of protecting those who cannot
afford to dress well and to provide
novelty, Rev. @. ]. Parker, vicar of
Clerkenwell, initiated this week a
series of services held in absolute dark
ness. To enable the worshippers to
join in the service the hymns and
prayers were projected by means of
magic lantern unto prepared screen,
Mr.. Parker says that his idea was
prompted by the knowledge of the
dread that the average woman has of
appearing in church worse clad than
her peiglibor His parish is poor,
and the women frequently explained
their non attendance by saying that
enough to attend church. 1t was
mainly with the view to making com
parisons impossible and incidentally
concentrating the female worshippers'
attention upon serious thoughts by
preventing their becoming absorbed
in studying their neighbors hats and
gowns that he was led to the expert
ment of holding services in darkness

FLORENCE MUST HELP.

The great need of an organization
made up of the business men of this
city, is apparent at this time. Every
body in this community is anxious for
the completion of state canal No. /.
Hon j. B. Meserve has introduced u
bill in the house for an appropriation
sufficient to cover the cost of finishing
the big ditch. To assist in this work
the Business Men, association of
Canon City and the Board of Trade of
Pueblo have each appointed com
mittee to give Representative Meserve
every assistance in his efforts in this
direction. The city of Florence sits
complacently by as if this proposed
great system of irrigation WAS of no
consequence and of no interest what
ever As matter of fact two or
three private individuals have been
and are working earnestly i'll this
direction, but they should have or
ganized support and credentials show
ing whom they represent.
In the absence of chamber of com
merce The Tribune takes the liberty
to suggest to the Honorable Mayor of
this city, that he appoint committee
to represent not only the business men
but the entire municipality in this
matter. so that in any lobbying that
is necessary Florence may keep up her
end. THIS is an important matter
and should not be lightly passed.

SULTAN BREAKFASTS BROTHER.

Ruler of Morocco's Change of Front
 Reported.
 MADRID, Jan. 12.-A dispatch to El Liberal from Tangier, Morocco, says, Official reports from Fez declare the sultan has rearrested his brother, Mu- lai Mohammed."
 Other advices from Tangier state that the departure of the five women mis- sionaries, four of whom are English and one American, from Fez Jan. 8 for Tangier had long been meditated and was not an outcome of new develop ments.
 Many sensational reports are current here of affairs in Fez, but there is little reliable news to be had. It is consid- cred a satisfactory feature, however, that the tribes to the south of Fez are remaining quiet. Seven Jews have been murdered in the Haina region.
 The sultan is reported to be suspi- cious of the movements of his brother, Mulai Mohammed. His majesty keeps the loyal horsemen from the south around his person instead of sending them against the rebels. Heavy rains now threaten to inter rupt communication with the interior of the country at an interesting mo- ment.

 Yesterday.


 Yesterday.
 Ernest Howard Crosby of New York, who was the speaker at the r. M. c. A. meeting for men only at Jac- ques' opera house yesterday afternoon took as the subject of his lecture Count Tolstoi the venerable author and socioligist of Russia. He said in part when the count was but boy his brothers told him one day that they had made a wonderful discovery that there was no God. After discussing the question all day the boys decided that the theory of God was wrong. "And so," said the speaker, i've have in Tolstoi at the age of nine, a nihilist; not a bomb throwing Nihilist but one who believes in nothing. And the next forty years of his life were spent in trying to find religion for himself some faith on which to build."
 The speaker then gave a brief sketch of the subsequent life of Count Tolstoi until the time he.w commits stoned as lieutenant in the army and served in the Crimean war; MT Crosby also spoke of the counts trav- els through Europe and of his discus sion of social and religious questions with noted philosophers and of his ef- forts to relieve the sufferings of former serfs in Russia.

NEW YoRK's CANALS.
Annual Report of Superintendent
 Boyd.

bOyU.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 12.-The annu. al report of the state superintendent of public works, now made public, covers the disbursements for ordinary repairs and operating expenses, trade and ton mage of. the canals of the state during the season of navigation of 1902, the condition and the work of improvement connected herewith under special ap- propriations in progress or completed during the year ended Dec. 31, 1902, and the expenditures on account there. of.
 "The canals as a whole are only now emerging" says MT. Boyd, ''from the chaotic condition in which they neces- sarily were left as a result of the has tily started and suddenly interrupted deepening improvement authorized by chapter 79 of the laws of 1895. That navigation has been maintained with so little interruption during the past four or five seasons, I believe, will be recognized by those familiar with the actual conditions as they have existed as due largely to good fortune
 The antiquity of structures leads to
 
 an accelerating rate of decay, and the best the department can do, MT. Boyd says, is to postpone disintegration." :" The absence of a definitely understood canal policy has made more difficult the problem of maintenance.
 t"There has been a desire" says MT. Boyd, which still obtains to expend no money in repairs of an elaborate character which would not availin case of an enlarged or reconstructed canal. The hopeful feeling which is very gen eral that the state is very soon to define it's policy with respect to future treat ment of the canals and having defined it to enter upon the prosecution of the plans determined upon encourages me in the belief that the problem involved in what have here st forth will not have to be met face to face, butsthat it may thus be evaded'
 The opening of the canals last year was earlier than in twenty years previ- ous, and navigation was maintained until Dec. 4, largely for coal shipments. In spite of the heightened season the total tons carried was only 3,274, ,446 as against 3,42o, SIS tons in 1901, falling off of 146, 167 tons. This loss is more than accounted for in through freight, for whereas there was an increase in way freight east of S4, ,976 tons the total decrease in through freight was 21O,- 619 tons, the loss being about equally divided between eastern and western shipment.
 The sI1nerintendent recommends that the amount to be provided for extraor- dinary repairs and Improvements be not less than $275, 5,O0O.

Man Who Fired shot I'm Madrid Did
 Not Attempt Kings Life.
 MADRID, Jan. 12.-Feito, the man who fired pistol Saturday at one of the carriages in the royal procession in which the Duke of Sotomayer, the grand chamberlain, was supposed to be riding, has been examined again. His bearing during the question confirmed the previous reports that he is suffering from monomania. A careful official in- ouiry has shown that Feito is not con- nected with anarchists.
 It was first reported that Feito had attempted to assassinate King Alfonso.
 The minister of the interior has tele- graphed to the prefects in the provinces that the attempt was directed against the grand chamberlain and not against the king. His majesty has received q host of royal and other congratulations upon his escape.
 A dynamite bomb which was sent here by rail in box from Barcelona has been found at the railroad station All attempts to find the consignee of the box have been fruitless. The bomb reached here the day before the funeral of Senor Sagasta and is supposed to have been for use during the passage of the funeral cortege.

JOAN OF ARG"

A Toronto paper in speaking of the singers for to-night's entertainment at the First Congregational church says: ''The honors of the evening were undoubtedly divided between David Bispham and Mrs Harvey. Mrs Harvey's reappearance here was de- cided triumph. While her voice has retained the velvety smoothness and sweet, lovely quality, her study in New York has developed it into one of great power and expression. Her phrasing is excellent and her enunci- ation faultless. Her two solos were sung beautifully, the high notes ring ing out like sweet toned bells. Mrs Harvey is delight to the eye as well as to the ear, for she is a remarkably handsome woman, tall ~and stately, with most fascinating and yet nat ural manner She was the recipient of many huge bouquets of roses" Mir Bispham is one of the leading bassos in grand opera in New York.

Engineer Dead ut His Post.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 12.-PaS- sengers on an incoming Knoxville and Ohio railroad train rode several miles with the hand of death at the throttle The train left Buckeye, Tenn, on time and ran through Careyville, the next scheduled station. When the train ran through the latter town, Fireman Matt lock discovered something was wrong and stepped to the engineers side of the engine. He found Engineer A. G., Young dead and immediately stopped the train. There was wound on the left side of the engineers head, and the supposition is that piece of rock fell from the side of a high cut through the mountains and killed him instantly The train ran perhaps eight miles after Young was killed.
