a pretty bad spill occurred in the
local yard about 400 yards east OF the
stations at 6 $50 this morning. The

hound track at a fair rate Of speed
when q draw;head pulled out, and
falling on the track, caused two
empty box cars toEleave the rails.
One car was pushed over the bank
and rested its forward end in the
river The other was thrown to the
east bound, thus effectually blocking
both main tracks. Passenger trains,
however; were sent through the
passing track without any delay. Ev.
arything was clear at $3.50.

tificers in metals and stones-banded together for an appeal to the House of Deputies-against what threatens to be ruin to their business. "A few years ago." they say, we could count upon something like fifty-five thousand pa irons, of whom thirty-five thousand were church parishes and twenty thou sand were religious communities. With the disruption of these parishes and communities, their fifty-five thou sand patrons are taken from them in one fell swoop. 'To-morrow, or the next day" continues the petition, nearly two hundred and fifty thou sand persons will find themelves with out employment and many of them without bread" and they ask: "Is it just, for a political reason, to wipe out industries, producing hundreds of thou sands of francs annually, to aim blow at the national prosperity and to de- priVe of the very means of existence hundreds of thousands of faithful toil- CTS? We think not and we demand a serious investigation"
 Millions of dollars are spent annually by the church in France for rosaries, charms and church furnishings, for goldsmithing and bronzes, for statuary, for printing. The aEpeal quoted above shows to what an extent these indus tries will te affected by the withdrawal of the churchs patronage. And the look ahead need not be very far ex- tendsd to reveal the effect upon other industries of throwing two hundred and fifty thIdsand trained artisans, en- ployers ai well as employees, out of bus mess. All other industries will feel it, and ali branches of society will be '.:- 'acted by it.

often hedge his way. He keep his bal ance always.
 "All these expressions, mark you, are mere or l:ss 'slangy,' and yet they have been current for so long that We look upon them as being absolutely pure So far as am concerned they will be accepted as pure, for like them. They mean something. I don't like words that are dead and without meaning. But there is another expression which seems to be much better than any of these, or all of these combined. l like the man who is 'white.'
 How much more need you say of man than that he is 'white?' If he is white he is square and straight and on the level and all the other good things you can say of him. He's white, we often hear one man say of another, and I like to hear it said, for it seems to me to mean much. It seems to me we ought to lift the saying above the language of the street for the sake of the man who is really white. Bssides, it would enrich our speech to some extent.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

PRESIDENT HADLEY THROWS I IC.IIr, nNr THE NELN EnILC A.

PRESIDENT HADLEY THROWS
 LIGHT ON THE NEW EDUCA-
 TION.
 President Hadley, of Yale university, writes in the June Harper's of the new methods of fitting the kind of educa- tion to the kind of pupil to be educat- ed. He says:
 "The tendency of the elective system as conducted at present is to confine the scientific boy to schedule subjects, the administrative boy to administra- tive subjects. The result of this is that our engineers or physicians go out into life with their imaginations uncultiva- ted, and their sense of values (eXcept commercial values) undeveloped; that our preachers and our barristers lack the training which should give them clear and precise apprehension of the ordinary facts of life; that our mer- chants have narrow ideals instead of broad ones, and care for science and literature only as they can be subordi- mated to money making. believe that the next generation will recognize that the engineer ought to have imagination just as much as anybody else; that 1t is the possession of this quality which makes him first-rate engineer instead of a second-rate engineer: and that we can cultivate imagination by bringing books and affairs before him in the right way. I believe that the next gen. eratfon will recognize that precision of' thought is what distinguishes the first rate speaker or artist from the second rale speaker or artist; and that this precision can be attained if, instead of hurling facts of science or language or history at the impervious skull, we open his eyes to the infinite possibilities of close thought and precise expression in all fields of knowledge, And we shall, I think, come more and more to find that the truly great merchant or statesman is not the man of a singlN narrow aim of money-getting or office getting, but the one who has been taught to use science or language in such fashion that he ceases to regard them as mere instruments of his trade, to be hired and discarded at will, and has become insensibly permeated by that breadth of spirit which leads him to make scientific truth his standard, and poetry or history the inspiration for his conduct"

EMPTY BARRELS AND RAIN.

There's another load of empty bar rels," he said, as the car passed a wag- on loadsd with sugar barrels, hung on the side posts of the vehicle and heaped high on it's body. Do you know" he continued, that to this day never see a load of barrels without thinking of tha boyish belief I once had that to see a wagon load of empty barrels was a sure and certain sign of rain All the boys I knew believed in that sign among others, and we used to shut our eyes whenever we saw a barrel wagon go past, that the mere act of seeing it might not bring the rain we dreaded be cause it spoiled our play time. It was a very common bilief then. And, singularly enough it was only when the load was full one and the wagon heaped until it could hold no more that the charm was believed to be in work ing order It did no harm at all to see the wagon man buying his barrels from the grocery man and piling them on his wagon. It did little harm, although, after all, one was taking chances, to look at a barrel-collecting wagon with half it's load, as it passed one on the street, but it did very great deal of harm to look at it when it's load had been completed for then the passing of the wagon was sure, we believed, to bring rain.
 And even then I used to wonder how it was that the barrel wagon brought a train of rain in its wake-how it was that the driver of that wagon never seemed to think that wherever he went and trough whatever streets he drove after his load was completed, he brought rain following him--that he spoiled subssq quent days for small boys But he never seemed to care, for the wagon driver I met most frequently was a polly man, with a big red face and large enough In girth to have been driver for a brewery instead of being engaged In the peaceful and rather humdrum occupation of collecting su- gar barrels. He was a good-natured grew up I would never, never be a dri- yer of 8 barrel wagon to spoil the fur of small boys, for although there was a difference of opinion as to whether the rain was csrtain to follow on the suc- ceeding day, or might be postponed fol even a day or two more. there was none at all that it was sure to come soon after the passing of the barrel wa eon ''-PrOyidence Tollrnad

Banquet in Honor of Newly-Nected
 Officers.

Banquet in Honor of Newly-Nected Officers. . The Hamden Athletic club gave a banquet to its newly-elected officers on Thursday evening at Grange hall, Gen. terville. The hall was decorated with palms and plants, and it was one of the finest affairs ever held at Grange hall. In the center of the table were three large punches of flowers. The flowers win be put on the grave of the late president, Charles Thompson, who passed away ten months ago.
 The committee worked hard to make the affair a success, and Charles Dobbs did some splendid service. The com- mittea consisted of Thomas Roberts, chairman; John Roche, Frank Roche, c. w. Dobbs, Mrs. Roberts, Miss Mar sfen and Miss Bruneon. Dancing fol- lowed the banquet, for which select orchestra played.

COMPREHENSIVE WHITE"

Speaking of slang expressions, there is at least one saying which has always appealed to me more than any other with which I am familiar, and it seems to me it ought to be lifted out of the list of slang expressions" said an ob- servant man. "The word white is of the essence of the saying. I like the man who is square, When you say a man is square you say much of him. He is an honest, open-minded, free souled fellow, who doesn't practise the little niceties of our conventions.
 "He is above board. The man who is straight deserves and generally re- ceives the respect of his fellows. He doesn't quibble over the little nothings of the day. His conduct is bee liner. So we say much of the man, too, when we say he is on the level.'

IN DEFENSE oF MISSIONARIES.

IN DEfENSE OF M1SSHJNA RILS.
 A shallower and more vulgar accusa- tion against missionaries, revivalists and preachers generally IS that while the poor and the suffalin inS are all around and near them, they live on the fat of the land, are WAil ,iu:hGd, ,vnn housed, raise families and accumulate property. Such asser: :ions arc broadly fals5. There is scarcn'y q nook or ccr- ner of the earth where %unsecrated men are not struggling in penury to upIlft dense communities. This fact could Ac clearly elucidat:d Ly Hishoo Restatick, if he chose to publi>r his Knowledge of conditions in the HawaiLn Is!arIs alone. It is elucidated by local mission- ary experiences fer thrae quarters of a century But suppose 1t Were true, as in few cases it is :c;la that specially qualified ministsl% rcae'ra large sdla- ries-what then? Does that circu.n- stance throw even shadow on the IT sincerity? Why should they not be paid for their fruitful labors in raising human beings from sin or misery? As 6 we'll known HonOlulu attorney said the other day-if an able lawyer is well compensated for ser ring his clients, why should not Tn a.t0rnpY retaL.ed for the Almighty us permitteS to live and support his family in comfort? ''Ihe laborer is worthy of his hire.' A true minister needs and should have an equivalent for his work, and be re- lieved from the strain of anticipated or
 realized poverty. He should also be enabled to provide for those near and dear to him. Usually his charities are transformations, numerous and unher- aided. He should also have good food, because, among other things, he is flt- ted to fnjOy it.
 The revival that started in Wales has spread like an accommodating wave over Christendom and is filling it's mission in this distant settlement of the extreme west. Wherever 1t has touched, it has refreshed and invigorated mankind. There could be no more cogent proof of human progress toward that real &ra- ternity, in which even the dreams of prophet, seer and priest are some day to be translated into fact.-HonoluIu Commercial Advertiser.

In this the book is unlike any thing else on the market. It is also unique in giving pronunciations.
 The other new work is How to Read and What to Read" MT, Cody's first chapter is on What Constitutes a Good Poem?" then What Constitutes a Good Essay" What Constitutes a Good Novel;" He briefly reviews the whole field of English literature, fixing a few dates and giving a summary so that an average person may be sure he has not overlooked any book which it is a disgrace not to have read.
 In his chapter on Best Poems he gives the best poem of Longfellow, for example, to start with. and then the best one to follow up with. leading the reader on from point to point by easy steps. In the same way he has re- viewed the best essays. Five chapters, or more than half the book, are devo- ted to novels. For sale at all book stores.

''The Girl and the Deal" novel by Karl Edwin Hartman, author of Ann Arbor Tales" and "The Home Build ers," is published this week by George w. Jacobs and Company.
 MT. Karl Edwin Hartman, author of "The Girl and the Deal" has been for the past three years connected with the editorial department of "The Pilgrim Magazine to the editorship of which he succeeded last July. ''The Pilgrim" is one of the very few magazines occu- pying it's own especially constructed building, and the editorial office is daily visited by strangers in Battle Creek, Michigan, who are there for treatment or rest in the great Sanitarium which has given the city so much fame in this country and abroad. Despite the work required of him on the magazine. MT. Hartman still finds time to contri- bute to various publications, besides writing on an average one book Q year. Of all the fiction he has produced, how ever, his new story, '"The Girl and the Deal" (George W. Jacobs and Com pany) promises to be the most success ful, being as it is so thoroughly Amer ican in character, spirit and action. Indeed we venture the assertion that no maid save the Slbyl Anstruther of this tale was ever wooed at the rate of mile q minute over territory one thousand miles in width. The real meaning of such a wooing can be gained only from a reading of the sto- ry.

Mrs. Hugh Fraser, the well-known writer on the Japar csc, whose new novel, "A Maid of Japan" is to be published by Henry Holt and Company June 10, is looked upon by the Japanese as the best, western interpreter of their character, history and customs. This story of Hime, the little shell-gatherer is told from close observation of the life on the island of Enoshima with it's little brown nuts be side the docks, and the simplicity and ''superb'' poverty of the people.
 MT. John LaFarge writes as follows apropos Mrs Fraser's new novel, Al Maid of Japan,'' which Henry Holt and Company expect to publish this month.
 Mrs. Fraser has had the advantage, or might say the fortune, of seeing a great deal of Japan behind the scenes Her residence in Japan while MT. Fra ser was British envoy to the Court of Japan gave that special acquaintance with the reason and causes of things which, in many cases, tends to diminish the charm, to take away the bloom, that may cover foreign land to the outsider. But Mrs. Fraser's knowledge has never withered her interest in the poetic and romantic side of that strange country, which we know so well and so inaccurately. To her the Japanese have kept a charm and an interest which she has expressed in whatever she has written. Mrs. Fraser has placed this story in the fairy land- scape of Enoshima, as a fitting frame for her romance

Those who have been accustomed to think of Russian as a barbaric. our- lan,lisa tongue will find their judgment somewhat altered after reading the following paragraph quoted from Prince Kropotkin's new book, ''Russlan Literature" "The richness of the Russian language in words is astount- ing. Many a word which stands alone for the expression of a given idea in the languages of western Europe has in Russian three or four equivalents for the rendering of the various shades of the same idea. It is especially rich in rendering various shades of human feeling, tenderness, love, sadness, mer- riment, as also verious degrees of the same action. Its pliability for transla- ton is such that in no other language do you find an equal number of most beautiful, correct and truly postic renderings of foreign authors. Poets of the most diverse character, such as Heine, Beranger, Longfellow, Schiller Shelley and Goethe, to say nothing of that favorite with Russian translators, Shakespeare, are equally well turned into Russian.....The desperate vague ness of German metaphysics is quite as much at home in Russian as the mat ter-of-faet style of the eighteenth century philosophers; and the short, concrete and expressive terse sentences of the best English writers offer no diff ficulty for the Russian translator" (McClure, Phillips and Company, pub fishers.

'"The Paradise of the Wild Apple" is the title of a new prose work of Richard INe Gallienne's which l.. c. Page and Company will issue shortly. This new story deals with the element of wildness in human nature and relates the TO- mance of young man, well established in life, who suddenly hungers for the wild apples" of his youth.
 Summer novels should be as cooling- ly suggs stive as summer costumes, and the two work of fiction announced for publication this month by L. c. Page and Company seem to have been se- lected with such idea. One of them is entitled Tn the Breeding Wild" and is
