In English law courts too much dis
tinction is made between poor and
wealthy parties. This state of affairs
is partly attributable to the want of
code of criminal law and procedure.

According to the Berlin correspond
ent of the London Times the condi-
tion of the working classes in Ger
many, Notwithstanding recent social
legislation, which many of them re-
gard as very inadequate, does not
compare very favorably with that Of
the same classes in England and Am
erica. An English or American skill
ed workman would on no account
change lots with his German comrade
for the sake of a small pension in old
age and state aid in case of sickness
and disablement. AS for the position
of the women, it is still miserably in
ferior to that of their sisters in Eng
land and America, and there is at
present an agitation in favor of re-
ducing the daily hours of work from
eleven to ten. A Prussian minister of
commerce can still declare, as Herr
Moller did the other day, at Cologne,
"the consolation of the working class

States Senator from West Virginia.
and a Deacon in the Presbyterian
Church at Elkins. w. Va. together
with Ex-senator Henry G.. Davis.
who Is the father-in-law of Senator
Ell<ins. has offered 500. 900 toward
the establishment of a PRESBYTERIAN
College at Elkins. with the condi-
ton that Winchester and licking
ton PresbyterieS raise $4,000 for
the same purpose. This amount
was apportioned among the
churches of the two Presbyteries
with the instruction 10 the sessions
of the various churches to see if
they could raise said apportion-
ment by April l, 1903. The
amount apportiOned TO the Berry
Vile group of churches was 5000.
The matter was presented by the
sessions about two weeks ago and
they have raised already about
$40 of this 5000 necessary. The
remaining $50 will doubtless be
raised before April l.
1t Is reported that Mr.. Davis
proposes to make his contribution
an even million dollars if the
churches raise the full ten thousand
dollars, which Is now an assured
fact.
This will be the first distinc-
lively Christian college for men in
