Rid Of the Filth.

Now that spring is here and with it
the melting of accumulated snow and
ice it is we'll nigh time for the man OF
the house to get busy with his spade
and wheelbarrow and rake. The
warm sun and mild breezes have begun
to release the filth and accompanying
bacteria and this will soon breed dis
ease If not removed. The street CON-
missioner's department is already
doing its part, which consists in the
main of cleaning up the public thor
oughfares. To the citizens becomes
the duty Of cleaning his own premises.

will find himself in the midst of trouble

Conference at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 25.-The general
assembly of the Presbyterian church

the discussion on divorce and marriage
and by a two-thirds vote passed res
olution which puts the Presbyterian
church in accord with the stand TAX
en- by all other Protestant churches, but
which leaves it unbound by the re-
strictions of the Catholic church. The
resolution follows:
"That recognizing the comfy that
should exist between the church rep
resented in the inter-church confer
ence acknowledging as they do the law
of Christ alone as supreme, we advise
each minister under the authority OF
this assembly to refuse to unite in mar
riage any members of any church
where marriage is known to such min
lister to be prohibited by the laws of the
church in which such person holds
membership unless the minister be-
lieves that in this peculiar circum-
stance of Il given case his refusal would
be an injustice to an innocent person,
who had been divorced for Scriptural
reasons"
The denominations concerned are the
Episcopal church of the United States,
Presbyterian church in the United States
of America. the Methodist Episcopal
church, the Baptist churches, the Method
