the Confession There is no such world as the
world of the Confession. There is no such
eternity as the eternity of the Confession.
1t is all rash. exaggerated and bitterly
untrue. There is something deeply pathet-
ic in the sad, patient look of the common people
who fear that these dreadful things may be
true because their leaders have never said that
they were false If no one else is ready TO say
it, say It, This world, so fun OF flowers and
sunshine and the laughter of children is not
cursed, lost world, and the endless torment
of the Confession is not Gods nor Christ's nor
the Bibles idea of future punishment. insist
upon it that in our Church these things cannot
be said too positively or too loudly.
DR.. Carriers testimony as to the prevalence
Of q painful belief in 'these dreadful things"
among 1.-The common people is valuable. but
we should not ourselves have SAID that the sad,
pathetic, patient look to which he refers was
visible on a great number of Presbyterian
faces. Our confident supposition has been that
very few parishioners now feel themselves I'M
der a distressing compulsion to believe the doc
trines which their pastors subscribe to but
never proclaim. But, even If DR.. Carter is
right, the first duty he implies, of Presby
terrain clergyman who has professed what he
does not believe is not to dispel the gloom of
uninstructed minds, but to vtndicate his own
sincerity. In our opinion, the common people"
are less likely to be troubled on their own
account than account of a spiritual leader
who is outwardly faithful to a creed which
they have reason to think he has inwardly re-
jected Hypocrisy is a harsher word than they
would generally wish to apply to such a man.
but they cannot easily keep it out Of their
thoughts.
We are we'll aware of the saving grace which
is conveniently attributed to a mental reserva-
ton and of the ineligible desire which many
feel to save If possible, historic edfce because
of the associations which cling around ii and
a fear that the substitution of Il modern struct-
ure, however suited to honest uses, would en-
courage the vandas. But we are persuaded
that such considerations are insignificant in
comparison with the moral obligation that rests
on honorable men, as Dr. Carter puts it. ito

1ieve this system and we want TO have done

CHILD LABOR

An editorial in last Saturdays Tribune dis
cussing suggestions for coping with the child
labor evil in New-York has brought forth
number Of letters, among them the following:
To the Editor Of the Tribune
Sir: 1 have read with considerable interest
the editorial in your issue of to-day entitled
Child Labor" 1t is a good sign that this sub
iect is receiving such careful attention from
thoughtful people, and among them some who
are in high station.

general subject of child labor, but will attempt

it's legal limits may he changed to make
them more effective. AS a resident of New

1 judge from what 1 read In The Tribune that
considerable difficulty found in New-York State
in the administration of the child labor laws
results from the fact that complaints for viola
tons get smothered in the District Attorneys
office through accumulation of other BUSH
ness or from some other cause In New-Jersey
the method is quite different and is very sim
pie The District Attorney has nothing TO do
with such cases The statute reads: "Al pro-
"ceedings brought Under the provisions of this
"act shall be by action OF debt, in the name of
"the commissioner (of labor, to be instituted in
.any district court of a city, recorders court of
"cities or before any justice of the peace having
due jurisdiction" Then. after stating how proc
ess shall be served, the law reads: "An pro-
'ceeding thereafter shall be the same as in an
"action of debt in said court the finding of the
court shall be that the defendant has or has
mot the case may be- incurred the penalty
claimed in the demand of the plaintiff. and
Judgment shall be given accordingly"
The means Of procedure just described is not
a new one introduced into the act that came
into force in September last. but it has been in
operation for several years and has proved very
effective. Under II the judicial officer cannot
render a decision which In his eyes may make
the punishment fit the crime" and thus call
for the iniiction of a penalty of So when $50

Paris, the mother of expositions now pro-
poses to hold international sports exhibition
in 1907, to be followed in 1909. by one devoted
to industrial affairs and the laboring classes.
In view of these plans. 1t is probable that what
may be regarded the Paris custom OF holding
universal exposition every eleven years will
be abandoned, the interval between the last
of the expostions mentioned and 1911 would be
too short. Moreover, the general opinion, both
in Europe and in America is that worlds fairs

"Antiaue" Wares Made In Americs
to'Be Sold ms Dutch Pottery
I'm Holland.

The craze for antiques and curios ID
responsible for 'some ingenious swim
dies. but 1t is doubtful IL many could
surpass that which victimized an
American woman travelling abroad
who while in Holland purchased some
alleged Dutch pottery which proved on
close examination to be common gran
lite ware made In America in odd
shapes and decorated in Dutch fashion
to be sold in Holland as antique cook
ing utensils, says the Boston Tran
script.
American enterprise is frequently
encountered in various ways in Eu-
rope. as for instance the experience OF
an American gentleman in London
who bought pair of rubber overshoes
in London shoe shop which were un-
usually satisfactory. On examining
them preparatory to buying another
pair, he made the discovery that they
were manufactured in Providence, Il
l., by an American firm, although they
were sold as English rubbers OF
gums"

instantly into motion, at the rate Of per-

ably be required to accomplish this re-
suit than the strength of the gun barrel

An Amusing Game of Indoor
Base Ball Between L'Anse and
Baraga Wednesday Evening.

The "funny" game of indoor base
ball, which had been arranged by a
number of L'Anse sports, took
place 10 Grandville Hall, Baraga,
Wednesday evening. The nine from
L'Anse originally scheduled to cross
bats with the Baragas had "cold
fee" at the last moment, and failed
to appear. But the Baraga boys
were not to be trfled with, and the
game musR be played. So Capt.
Jerry Real, of L 'Anse, (who has re-
fused an offer from the Spauldlngs)
picked up nine of boys who know
how to play ball, and drove to Bar
aga in four-four time. The two
teams marched into the hall, loudly
cheered by the crowd present.
Each nine had "This-is.an-easy-
victory-for-us" look on their faces,
and the only objection the visiting
team made was when it was stated
that Thomas Nugent was to act IS
umpire. They had no ill-will
toward Tom, but did not want a
professional umpire, and that is
what he is. But words were use.
less. Tom squared himself behind the
bat and called play ball. F" L'Anse
went to bat. DR.. r. S. Buckland,
(whom, it is rumored, the Spaldinas
are now trying to hire) was in the
pitchers box for the Baragas, and he
made things hum.
1t would take the who'd page Of a
newspaper to give the details OF
each inning, but suffice to say, when
the smoke cleared away, the "mau
behind the score card" called7 to :
in favor of Baraga, and the polls
closed.
The L'Anse boys say the score
was to 4, and many Of the Baragas
think it was even more than to 3
but be that as it may, Baraga took
the cake.
Following is the lineup Of the
respective sides:

SAD FATALITY.
Mrs. James McRandle Met a
Shocking Death We'd
nesday.

The community was greatly
shocked Wednesday, shortly after
noon, when it was announced that
Mrs. James McRandle was dead, and
the manner in which the final sum
mons came. 1t appears that short
ly before IL o'clock Mrs. McRandle
was engaged in preparing dinner,
and went into the yard in the rear
of the house to get few pieces OF
wood, which was piled in sort of
temporary shed. William McRandle,
one of her sons, was in another
portion of the house, and in a few
moments went into the Kitchen.
Not seeing his mother, he stepped
out of the door, and discovered her
lying upon the ground. Upon rush
ing to her assistance he found her
unconscious and u wound upon her
head, where she had been struck by
the wood or boards which had fallen
upon her. At about that time her
two daughters. Misses Loretta and
Emma, who are teachers in the
Baraga school, returned home.
Medical aid was Immediately sum
moned, but life was extinct, and II
is believed she was dead when dis
covered.
Deceased was aged 81 years. She
had resided in Baraga for over
twenty years. Mr.. McRandle died
about eight years ago. Previous to
locating in Baraga they lived IL
L'Anse for a number OF years. Mrs
McRandle was the mother Of nine
children, six of whom are left u

parture, namely: Thomas.of Hough
