gram to illustrate the relative family ex-
penses OF working men who. throughout the
United States. devote only 20 per cent of
their income to life insurance, which is less
than cents per capita per year OF the
working population, while they spend 81 of
their incomes for tobacco and liquor. The

IN which. the wage-earners of the United

st. Louis Fair Management Fails to
Develop Aerial Navigation.
OF all the many undertakings of i'm
portance at the st. Louis exposition only
one has failed, and that is the attempt
of the mana cement to develop aerial nav
igation. Two years ago Frederick James
V. Skiff conceived the idea that it would
give an impetus to aeronauic progress
and add to the attractions of the expo
sition if generous money prize were
offered to competitors in that science.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
management appropriated 100000 for
the encoura cement of ambitious aero
lauts. A grand prize of 100000, the
largest ever offered in the world for
mechanical achievement, is to be given to
whoever will make at least three flights
over a fixed ten-mile course at a rate of
speed not less than twenty miles an hour.
The course laid out on the exposition
grounds is right angle with long leg
and short leg, tie starting point be-
ing at the angle. The competing airships
are required TO sail southwark two miles,
turn around a captive balloon, then back
to the starting point and down the long
leg three miles and return. No one has
yet succeeded.

Baltimore Rebuilding Slowly.

Seven months have passed since the
Baltimore confagration, yer little rebuild
ing has actually taken place. But two
blocks of comparatively unimportant
buildings have been reconstructed. Nor
is it likely that much can be accomplish
ed in that direction under year. The
rebuilding of Chicago and Boston each
occupied from two to three years; the ex-
perience of Paterson was about the same.
At such a time the building facilities
of fre-stricken city are taxed to the
utmost. Architects, builders and con-
tractors and the various allied building
trades are overwhelmed with orders,
which results in congestion in every

MARKS A CHURCH EPOCH.
Convention of the Protestant Episco-
palians in Boston.

Convention of the Protestant Episco-
palians in Boston.
Leading churchmen from all over the
world assembled in the general conven-
ton Of the Protestant Episcopal church
Of the United States in Boston. The i'm
portant problems solved in this notable
gathering, the far-reaching actions taken,
will no doubt serve to mark this event
as an epoch in church history. An in
teresting international character was
given to the gathering owing to the pres
ence of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
it being the first time that a primate Of
all England has attended a conclaye Of
the American church.
The opening service was held in Trim
ity church, made famous by the late
Bishop Phillips Brooks, the sermon be-
ing preached by the Archbishop of Can
terbury. In the provisional program was
included plan for business and other
important meetings for every day of the
riennial session. Fully $1,000 Episco-
pahans made this convention memora-
bic one, and fund of $4,000 was raised
Tor the entertainment of the visitors.
Bishop Lawrence gave a great reception
at his home on Commonwealth avenue.
and the usual visits to the historic spots
about the city were made.
The matter of changing the name Of
the church was reopened by the report Of
a committee, headed by Bishop futile Of
st. Louis, which reported that it is in
expedient to change the name at this
time, the diocesan conventions having de-
ciared against it by a vote of 1,101 to
$685. Some of the delegates, however,
urged a consideration of the proposition
on the floor of the convention. Appeals
and legislation for the good of the church
III general developed numerous sugges-
tons and much argument
The social functions in connection with
the convention were numerous and bril-
liant, the leading society women of Bos-
ton having planned number of recep-
| tons and other gatherings. at which the
| visitors were the special guests.

SAYS GIRL KILLED HERSELF.
Brother Declares Minnie Harmenin9
Committed Suicide by HANGING

Brother Declares Minnie HarmeninQ
Committed Suicide by Hanging.
From the confession of John Harmon
ing, brother of Minnie Harmening,
17-year-old girl, who was believed to
have been murdered in the barn at her
fathers farm near Palatine, Ill, It
would seem that the girl had ended her
own life by hanging from a beam in the
barn.
The boy, who is 20 years old. told his
father that when he and the two younger
children returned to the barn from the
held they found the girl hanging from 8
beam by a rope, dead. Fearing the
father would ''feel bad" If he knew his
daughter had committed suicide, they
took the body down, he said. hid the rope
and told the story which led to the the
DRY that she had been murdered. To
substantiate the story the boy went TO
the loft of the barn and produced the
rope with which he asserted his sister
killed herself.
The story Of the boy surprised the
villagers and neighboring farmers. The
father would not believe that the girl
had hanged herself. Several did not
hesitate to say they believed the girl was
murdered and then hanged to the rafter
in the position in which her brother said
he found her.
On Thursday the coroner's jury rem
dered verdict to the effect that the
girl had committed suicide. The father,
however, persists in his belief that she
was murdered

Judge Swartz, who presided, held that
no man had right to work on rail-
road unless in fine physical condition.
and If he fell asleep, no matter from
what cause, he should discontinue work.
even though he should lose his position,
rather than jeopardize human life by
continuing on duty. The fireman testi-
fed that the freight train had been or
dered to wait on a siding until four
trains had passed. He said the crew had
been on duty for twenty-five hours, and
that while waiting for the trains to pass
had fallen asleep. Before the fourth
train had passed the men awoke, and
thinking that the fourth had gone by,
the freight train was taken from the
siding. Fleischutt was convicted.

that the practice of Christian Science
is legal. Mrs. Jennie A. Spead OF Con-
cord brought suit in 1901 against Rev.
Irving G. Tomlinson, first pastor OF the
Concord Christian Science church, aiieg-
ing deceit, negligence and failure on the
part Of Tomlinson to cure her Of appen-
dicitis. Two trials were held, IN which
the points gained by each side were
about even. At the second trial Judge
Peaslee, on motion OF counsel Tor the
defense, ordered a non-suit, to which
Mrs. Spead's counsel took exception, and
the case went to the Supreme bench. In
substance the Supreme Court holds that
the practice Of Christian Science is legal
and that patients who have resorted to
such treatment cannot recover any dam
ages in case the practitioner uses tho
