Rpiscopa1ians Would Prohibit Renar-
riage Inside of One Year.
By an overwhelming majority a COM
promise canon on the remarriage of di-
vorced persons was adopted by the house
OF deputies of the Episcopal general con
yention in Boston, and if it is concurred
in by the house of bishops the most inn
portant issue that has come before the
convention will be disposed of for at
least three years. The compromise
measure, like the old law, permits the
remarrage of the innocent person in a
divorce for infdelity, but provides that
no remarriage shall be allowed within
one year after a decree has been issued
by a civil court.
Satisfactory proof Of the innocence of
the applicant for remarriage must be
furnished in the shape of court records,
and after the consent of the bishop is
obtained clergyman may refuse to per-
form such a ceremony without subject
ing himself to censure or discipline.
In the last days session of the Baptist
General Association at Springfield the
project of securing n universal divorce
law fer the various States was iRaorsed.

fused to draw the color line by adding
the word "colored" after the names of
negro churches.

"The Girl With the Auburn Hair," one of the most notable scenic prOduc- tions ever made in vaudeville, is to be on the Proctor circuit for the next few weeks. The speciality represents the acme of stage craft, and not even the big Broadway productions are more carefully or elaborately made. The curtain rises to show the exterior of cathedral, which gradually disappears to show the choir. The organ sounds it's imposing notes, and a marvellous ly sweet voice is heard singing an of
 fertory. Gradually the singer becomes visible, an aureole of auburn hair croWning a sweet, refined face. There is a second song, and then the lights dim again until the exterior of the edifice again becomes visible, only the singers face showing through the cur tain. A huge pipe organ, the only actual pipe organ ever used in 9 stage production, is employed, and so care fully is the effect arranged that the
 electrical equipment is in duplicate,
 and nothing short of complete stop
 page of the current can affect the act. This is but one of the good things ar.

Of all the bad habits some women have gossiping is the worst and the cOmmOnSenSe woman will always guard aginst the gossiper. These per sons are never happy unless they are telling some little story about some one. There are women who imagine the carrying of news gives them an air of importance and especially so when the news savers of gOSSipy nature. So we'll are their characteristics known that as soon as they come into sight all ears are pricked and every one is intent upon listening to the latest story about so and so's engagement or marriage or some scandal. Thus it is that good characters and names are dragged down merely from frivolous story which had no true foundation and simply originated from slight ob- ServatiOn and not facts. There is one redeeming feature, for, as rule, the common sense woman is not prone to believe all the disagreeable stories without hunting for proof, and when it is investigated it brings retractions. When a woman tells story with a view of damaging the character of an- other it is generally safe to look them over thoroughly and endeavor to find out what motive prompts the story and whether or not the persons verac- ity can be relied upon. Very often women gossip just for fun and for the entertainment of the thing and be- cause they have no better way to oc- cupy their time or mind. Such gos- sipers really intend no harm, and there is a question whether they ever do any harm, because, as rule, they do no harm. How much more ennOb- ling it would be to lay aside the frivOl- ous tales and train the mind to higher ideals, which can be done by careful reading and conversation. There are women who are victims of circum- stances and who are decidedly inno- cent of any wrongs or of the fact that people are talking about them. Thous- ands of stories gain foothold when there is not the least suggestion of truth. If the women have nothing good to say why say anything at all: There is not one of US who cannot find the opportunity of being kind and
 thoughtful of others.

TABLEAUX AT TAsHUA.
 The entertainment given by the young people of Christ church proved great success. The night was fine and before the raising of the curtain there was standing room only. The incidental entertainment, relieving the otherwise tedious pauses between the pictures, was in the hands of Mrs Whipple, who had much experience in that line. Aside from this much needed support, the credit of the whole affair is due to the young peo- pie. A more energetic and enthusias- tic company could not have been found. Each one took his part 'Con Amore" and made the evening the brilliant af- fair that everybody pronounced it to be. The scenes ranged from Spain to the Orient, from the pagan fire wor- shipper to the old-time singing school, but the Tashua company were always equal to the occasion, and probably no company can boast of any younger ele- ment. A beautiful scene called the A0u AO AOoo ULou 1& uS ures in the most quaint and beautiful costumes, the ages of the performers ranging from three years to about sev- en. The poses were full of grace and the whole picture one not easily for gotten. The fairy driving her small farmer team bringing home the har- vest, was simply exquisite, and Cupid made havoc with the pretty girls. And there were heroes and heroines, who, for the smooth running of the machinery, were content to forego per sonal pleasure and draw curtains, burn white lights and dress the troupe. Surely no entertainment could ask for more faithful and efficient service than was rendered on Friday night. PERSONAL CHAT.
