EXCLUDING CHINESE LABOR.
Reason for Urgency in Drafting the
New Treaty.

The announcement that negotiations are
afoot for new Chinese exclusion treaty
appears to have caused a good deal Of agi-
ia ton in certain strongly anti-Chinese cir
cles. To clear up apprehension which
seems to exist on their part that the Presi-
dent proposes to open wider the door to
Chinese immigration into the United States
1t Is stated on authority that there is no
such intention. The subject was referred
to at the cabinet meeting today and 1t was
afterward stated that the State Depart.
ment and the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. the latter charged with the execu-
ton of exclusion laws and treaties, are
working in perfect harmony and in con-
sultation with the Chinese minister here to
frame a treaty that shall be cast upon the
lines of the existing treaty continuing the
present rigid exclusion of coolie labor and
simply moderating the conditions under
which Chinese merchants and scholars may
be admitted to the United States. Some
thing of that kind Is regarded as necessary
government the Chinese minister last
spring formally denounced the Chinese ex-
ciusion treaty. That notice will take effect
December next. and there VIII be no
treaty relations between the two govern
ments governing that subject until a new
treaty IL agreed upon. 1t Is true that the
President has decided to enforce the exist
Ing Chinese exclusion laws after the abro-
gaticn of the treaty. but there Is tust s,Itf1-
Client doubt in the official mind as to the
extent Of the powers that may be employed
legally to effect the exclusion that a new
treaty Is regarded as desirable.

GROWTH OF POSTAL SERVICE.
Figures Showing It's Increase in Every
Branch.

hfteen years after Postmaster General Hall

MARRIAGE IN RUSSIA.
The Ceremony as Performed in the
Orthodox Church.

From the Messenger.
Meeting the bride and groom at the door
of the church, the priest first asks the
groom whether he will have the bride as his
wife and whether he has promised any
other in marriage. Receiving the proper
answers. he asks similar questions of the
bride and receives her reply. Then he leads
them into the church. where the choir sings
a psalm and an ekiene. and the priest says
prayers of blessing upon the couple.
Rings are produced, which the priest lays
upon the analogion, sprinkling them with
holy water and blessing them. Then. CIV
ing one ring to the groom. he says: 1.-THE
servant OF God. N, is betrothed to the ser
want Of God. N. in the name OF the Father.
Son and Holy Ghost" Giving the other
changing names. The bride and groom then
join their right hands, while the priest
binds the end of his epitrakhil (stole) over
the Joined hands and the groom repeats
after him: 81. N, take thee. N. for my
wife. and 1 will give thee love. faith and
honor in wedlock. and will not leave thee
until death: may God help me. In the holy
undivided Trinity and with all the saints"
The bride also repeats: II. N, take thee,
N. for my husband. and I will give thee
love. faith. honor and obedience in wedlock.
and will not leave thee until DEATH" etc.
Then the priest. taking away his stole.

and /, an unworthy servant Of God. by the
power given to me. join you In holy wed
lock: and declare and make known this
by the power of the Holy Catholic Church;
in the name of the Father and Son and
Holy Ghost. Amen"
After these words the browning takes
place. The priest prays that they may live
as one and may be crowned with love in
one flesh. Then taking the first crown
from the analogion he puts 1t on the head
of the groom. making the sign of the cross
and saying: May the servant of God be
crowned in the name of the Father and
Son and Holy Ghost. Amen He then
crowns the bride, with the same words. TIL

THOSE WHO Do NOT CARE.
X6 Is Worth while to Tight the Bat-
 ties of the Negligent.

Xe Is Worth While to Flight the Bat-
 ties of the Negligent.
 Herbert s. Bigelow in one Of his fa- nous lectures once asked the question, ''Is it worth while to fight the battles of the people who do not careY' He answered the query strongly in the af- tlrmative, as 1t should be answered and as it must be If the world is to continue 10 progress. Roberts Rules of Order'' says that one-twentieth of the mem bership of a society should constitute quorum. Those who faithfully attend the meetings of such societies usually find that one-twentieth of the quorum have to do about all of the work, so that it actually becomes necessary for some one to flight the battles of those who do not care"
 This is particularly the case in the labor union, and for a very good and logical reason. Some one has said, Do not say anything in the meeting that you would not just as lief that the boss would hear, for some sucker will tell him inside of two hours" This AA0J AAOI OO hASCAGAAJ AAuC AA dAA Gd6CSP but, flguratively speaking, there are too many leaks for the good of the union. 1t is this that makes many otherwise loyal members so difident in taking part In the various discussions that oc- cur at nearly every session. If 1t be- comes known that certain man is ac- tive in the union his services are ire quently dispensed with at the first cp- portunity. He gets to be known as an agitator, and that is the very worst crime in the whole category Of onenses it Is possible to commit, according to the philosophy of the average employ CT.
 One Of the greatest difficulties in se- curing such reforms is the fact that it is almost impossible to awaken the masses to realize what their rights are and to make stand for them after they lhRve been shown what they are. If all concerned were as negligent of their rights as this class of people, we would soon lose those that we have. The trade union especially must be constantly on the alert to hold what has been gained and to make further advances whenever the opportunity presents itself The leaders in the un- ion are expected to be on the lookout night and day, and they must be or make way for some one that will. The rank and file may not attend the meet ing, and some of them may criticise everything that is done, no matter which way it is done. Others never take interest enough to inquire what has been done. The whole system must be one of organization and education, and there must be few in every un- ion who believe that ''it is worth while to light the battles of those who do not care. e."-Labor Clarion.

RESTAURANTS.

They Game Into Being With the
 FNrst French RevOlmtiOn.9
 The restaurant is of comparatively modern origin. The first French revolu- ton. at the close of the eighteenth cen tury, witnessed it's birth. Prior to that time the best cooks were in the employ of the nobility, whose ruin threatened them with equal disaster A happy in splration, however, led them to open places of public entertainment, which leaped at once into immense popular favor, inasmuch as previously, while the French people were endowed with the instincts of delicate cookery, they were unable to gratify their tastes through the absence of resorts availa- ble for the purpose,
 The proprtetors of many of these es- tablishments quickly acquired a wide spread fame and large wealth. Coin cident with the birth of the restaurant in France, an immense impulse was given to the publication of popular treatises on the art of cookery com posed by the most famous cooks. These were rapidly disseminated among the people, who, gifted with natural gen. ius for gastrononly, promptly availed of the new sources of knowledge to perfect themselves in an art of which they have become the foremost expo nents of the world. Among these pub lications was the "Almanach des Gour- mands," established in 1894, one of the classics of culinary learning.
