RELIGION OF ALL RUSSIA.
Peculiarites OF the Church Of Which
the Car Is the Bead-Ciergy
Fave No Standing.

Confession is enjoined in the
Russian church, but is not per
formed as satisfaction offered to
God.
No candidate for holy orders
will be ordained until he is mar
ried. This, of course, refers to see
uiar clergy. The monastic orders
must be- celibates. a widOwer
priest may remarry, but he must
first renounce his orders. A Gu
rious inconsistency is that no
priest as long as his wife is alive
can attain to a bishopric, because
all bishops must be unmarried.
In the Eucharist the priest re
cciyes the bread and wine sep,
rately, whereas the laity receives
both elements mixed together,
from a spoon, standing. The sac
rament is also administered to in
fants, but they receive the wine
only, lest they might reject the
bread.
Baptism is a most elaborate GER
emory and takes 40 days before it
is complete. 1t includes triple i'm
mersion, the chrism, and tonsure
Of the infants hair in the shape Of
a cross. The sacrament Of unc-
ton differs from the similar sac
rament in the Roman Catholic
church, being, as it is, admins
tered to those who are slightly un.
well, whereas the church of Rome
only gives it in articulo mortis, or
when there is no chance of re
covery.
The services in the Russian
church are most elaborate. This
is evident from the fact that the
ritual and services occupy 20 folio
volumes. Service is performed at
least three times daily, and the
greatest part OF the service varies
every day in the year, and every
part of every day, except in the
communion Office.
The average pay Of a parish
priest is about S1,100. Bishops
have about $1,000 and a metro
politan, who corresponds to our
primate, $1,000 per annum. There
are no state endowments, the in
come being derived from collec-
tons and fees, for no priest will
perform even the most trifing of
fee without payment.
The Russian clergy have no SO
.cial standing, a better class Rus
sian would not eat at table with
his parish priest. In fact, they oc-
cupy the place the Church of Ire
land clergy occupied about, say.
the fourteenth century.
Sermons are rarely preached
in the Russian churches. There
d,
are books of hOmilies from which
the clergy may read, but these
homiIies are so very lengthy, or
nate and elaborate that the PEG
pie refuse to listen to them. AS
rule, the clergy are too ignoran
to compose their own sermons
and even if they do compose then
they must first be sent to the con
sistory for approval, because tn.
government is determined t
. stamp out heresy.
3 The co%nsistory are in no hurr
t. return the sermons, and ofte'
, several weeks or more may pas
i before they do so, consequent
! the clergy, as a rule, leave preacl
ing severely alone. The Russia
priests never pay parochial visit
n except to beg; the result is tina
they have never gained the cont
= dence or good will Of the laity.

WHEAT is ROTTING.
Farmers Grow Discouraged Through
Enforced Lack of Transport
tation Facilities.

Hankinson, N. D., Oct 9-Farmers
throughout this section are complain
ing of the lack of cars in which to ship
their grain A large quantity of wheat
has already been threshed out and is
now at the stations. but the railroads
are unable to furnish means OF trans
porting it further.
At some points the grain is left be-
side the track in wagons, each wagon
being loaded to it's utmost capacity
with sacks of wheat At other places,
where the wheat was brought to town
in the wagon boxes, the grain has been
dumped in huge heaps beside the
track and is rotting from exposure to
the weathes and contact with the
ground. Heavy wines scatter it still
more, and this birds are making havoc
with some of the piles
No prospect of relief from the con-
gestion is now in sight, and the farm
ers are almost discouraged, as the farm
granarie~ are for the most part already
filled

WOULD REVISE TARIFF.
Republicans of Massachusetts Adopt
a Mild Plank-State Ticket
Named.

Boston, Oct. with only one voice
raised in opposition, the republicans
of Massachusetts in state convention
Friday declared for a revision of the
tariff. Contrary to expectations, the
radical wing Of the party, under the
leadership of Eugene N. Foss, of Bos-
ton, did not offer a substitute for the
plank in the platform relating to the
tariff which calls for the enactment
by congress of tariff provision which
shall protect American ! markets
against discrimination, and secure to
the United States treatment accorded
to the most favored nation in all the
foreign markets.
The declaration is thought to be the
kind that has been made by repub-
lican state convention since the Ding
ley bill was adopted by congress. A
campaign in the interest of tariff re-
vision was carried on in Iowa few
years ago and the revisionists made a
positive declaration in favor of tariff
changes was incorporated in the plat
form.
The following ticket was nominated:
For governor Curtis Guild, Jr, Bos-
ton; lieutenant governor, Eben S. ORA

liam M. DIN, Boston; treasurer and re-
ceiver general, Arthur B. Chaplin, Hol-

Believed That Thirty Were Drowned
During Gale on the Gulf
of Georgia.


Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 1.-THE great
southeasterly gale which swept the

suited in the drowning Of at least 80

toria bringing IL Japanese picked up
when they were nearly dead from ex-
posture. Capt. Butler, of the Lorne,
learned from some of the English
speaking Japanese that at least IS
fishing boats were out when the storm
broke. The Japanese declared that
fully so men had been drowned or
battered to death on the rocks when
their boats were blown ashore,

President Favors Esch-Townsend
Bill with Some Modifca-

Washington, Oct. 7.-President
Roosevelt has decided upon the ad-
ministration's program relative to
rate legislation. The bill favored at
the white house is essentially that
drafted by Messrs. Townsend Of Mich
igan and Esch of Wisconsin last win

lions. 1t will be proposed that the in
terstate commerce commission be
given jurisdiction, on complaint, over
rates, subject to the ultimate judgment
of the court; that private car charges
be amenable to revision in the same
way, and that the federal body have
entire authority over terminal roads.

Blew P. o. Safe.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct o-Govern-
ment secret service agents claim to
have positive evidence that the Cash
ton postoffice robber, in which $675
was stolen from the wrecked safe a
few nights ago, was the work Of HON.
err Trainor and Andrew Cunningham,
the two postoffice robbers who escaped
from the La Crosse county Jail two
months ago.
Before the Stoddard robbery, for
which they were arrested, Trainor,
Cunningham and Crane, the bandit
trio, visited Stoddard, Cashton, Mel

sian ratification will be long delayed

Greenwood, Special.-An enthusias-
tic mass meeting Of the citizens Of
Greenwood was held here last week
to consider a plan to secure new en-
terprises for the city. The gathering
was most representative one, and
it was held in the parlors. Of the
Greenwood club. The matters dis
cussed were more particularly in re-
gard to negotiatinns with prominent
real estate firm of Philadelphia, who
wrote the chamber of commerce In
regard to the establishing of a new
cotton mill in this city. The parties
inquiring want to know what induce
ments Greenwood offers for such en-
terprises, and the people of the city
with their usual energy are taking ac-
tive steps towards securing it if it is
to be gotten.
The city offers many advantages
for such enterprises, and it is not
unlikely that if a new mill is placed
anywhere in this section it will be at
Greenwood.
