Uneasiness has been inspired among
clerks in the War Department by a gen
eral order regulating the transfer of
clerks from the United States to the
Philippines, and vice versa.
Many clerks believe the order paves
the way for the transfer of a large
number Of clerks to the island posses
sions. It. calls the attention of en-
ployes of the department to the order
Of July a. 1901. which is as follows:
The Secretary of War considers that
the interests OF the service require that
The employees at large of the department
must be subject TO orders in regard 10

such orders viii be deemed a proper
and sufficient reason for discharge from

MAROnIS B. NERTON.

The announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of Marquis B. Newton was startling reminder of the uncer- tainty of life. His early return to ac- tive business rad been looked for, but it was nos to be.
 MT. Newton was a good business man and a good citizen. He had excellent judgment in financial affairs and all his dealings were characterized by strict honesty and honor. His advice was valued by investors. and there were many who relied upon and profited by it. He was kind m spirit and in action. Friendly and cheerful in his daily walk and conversation, and did his duty well in all the relations of life He was dili- gent and successful, and seemed to have the promise of many years more of activity. But he has gone. Those who are left to miss and mourn him have consolation in the thought that his life was upright and useful.

mosEs rHA4cHnn,s EXPERIENCE.

It appears that some of the officers in the Mormon Church who have been sub poenaed and who were expected to give interesting and valuable testimony in the Snloot case have gone away to Cam ada, Mexico or Europe and will not be back until it is more comfortable for them in this country. But it is expect ed that Moses Thatcher will have some thing to say that will be worth hearing. MT. Thatcher has had trying expert ence in running for political office with out the approval of the Mormon Church. According to information now before the committee, Thatcher an- inounced himself as a candidate for the United States senate several years ago. He was at that time an apostle and in good standing with the church. He neglected to secure the consent of his brother apostles to push his political ambitions, and the oversight was re- t7SiilCd dlAu puliiS1lSus lIdlcAGE was badly defeated in the race for the sen- I ate, but that was the least of his re-
 verses. He was elected from the apos-
 tolic council, and, according to evidence on file, was persecuted in every walk of
 life. After Thatcher had been com- pletely broken he was forced to sign a Imost humiliating statement of retrac- ton, the sweeping terms of which indi-
 cate his submission to the powers of the Ichurch
 Thatcher is expected to tell the men-
 bers of the senate committee some things about the extent to which the
 Mormon Church dips into the politics lof Utah, and to what extent it controls the elections of candidates to office.
 The admissions on this point will have
 a direct bearing on the subject of influ- lence of the Mornons over Reed Shoot,
 Possibly the committee will be able to induce MT. Thatcher to talk freely, but
 perhaps his past experience will re- Estrain him.

4 NEW LIFE-SAVER.

Further details of the new life-saving globe are encouraging. The globe is constructed of 3-16 inch steel plates and has the form of a globe from which a
 segment is cut off, the flat part forming the bottom. which is double, the out
 side one being 5-16 inch thick. It is furnished with the following outfit: A fender of sixteen-inch coil rope laid around the largest part of the globe;
 anchor with one hundred fathons of 1 1-2 inch steel wire rope; wooden grat- ing on top of the inner bottom; straps and loose reindeer hair padding pro- vided for sixteen men; bilge pump;
 closet bucket; rudder and tiller (of steeD sails and oars. Around the inter- for of the globe are a series of lockers,
 which serve as seats for the crew. In these lockers can be stored fourteen cu- bic feet of provisions. In the space between the double bottom 148 gallons Of fresh water can be stored. Through the top of the globe g twelve-inch ven tilating pipe can be raised from the in- side of the globe to the height of five feet above and it can be lowered so that the top end is flush with the top of the globe This pipe is fitted with cover and packing top for quick opening and closing for ventilation when at sea.

 are fitted which can be opened and shut from within. The surrounding

4 sEw cHURcH-woRK NOTION.


 How to get people to be really inter- ested in a church is one of the pressing other managers of churches. Many things have been tried, from music to bicycle sheds, and still the membership and attendance are not what are want ed. A Methodist minister now comes forward with a plan which may be worth some notice. He thinks it will be a great day for Methodism and for her church societies when system of benefit insurance is allied to her work of salvation. At present, competition is too great. Members. he thinks are lost to the church every day. simply because they join fraterna1 and secret societies for the insurance features, and becom- ing attached to the lodge work with it's services and rituals, gradually fall away from their allegiance to the church.
 There is certainly nothing wicked about this notion, and there is nothing in it that need scare anybody. Benefit insurance is prevalent and appreciated. Perhaps if it could be connected with churches it would draw some to the churches who are not now drawn there by a desire to be insured against dis aster in the next world"

Those who have taught calf to drink out of pan will appreciate the following instruction given by the Yer million South Dakota) Republican,: When you get to the calf remember pa- tience. He doesn't understand your deal-whether you want to veal him, torpedo him or nurture him. Have q prayer--learned at the maternal knee on your lips as you proceed. Tickle his slimy, avaricious nose with the tips of your fingers. As you become more deep- ly absorbed and things are doin' don't forget the prayer. Hypnotically your calm state of mind will lead bossy to the light, and humping his Timber spine he will go in for hs mess like Jap af- ter a Russ cruiser, rising at intervals to blow the token of his happy dip on the rim of your bib overalls. But re- member he's q calf--the same as you used to be.

A cycling statistician has drawn up a table of comparative costs of turing in various countries. The British tour is considerably more expensive than the continental tour, and Scotland is more expensive than England. France, Italy and Germany are all much on a level, from thirty to forty per cent. cheaper than Great Britain, and lowest of all in the list comes Belgium. a land much favored by the tourist by reason of the beauties of the Ardennes country.
