CONCERNING CHURCHES.

Rhode Island has a wheeled chapel
used by the Episcopal mission, capable
OF being moved from place to place
upon Its own running gear.
Bishop Mallaieu says 1t will not be
so many years before there will be
10000 deaconesses at work in the
bounds Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
On the advice of the Mexican board
of health, the government has issued
an order for the daily dislnfection OF
confessionals in all the churches OF
the capital. Priests neglccting the
order are subject to fine and imprison-
ment. 49,
DR.. Torrey stated recently In London
that the best workers he had found In
his evangelical meetings in Great Brit
ain were the men and women who had
been converted as children in the
meetings which were held by Mr..
Moody.
The Boston Free Church association,
Of the Episcopal church, proposes
again to hold summer services on Bos-
ton common. These services have
been successful in former years, and
generous gifts have made their con
tinuance possible.

Hint in Regard TO Bean Picking.

Pull beans on hot day, and let them
lie in the sun little while in thin
rows, beside where they grew; then
thrash and clean, during the same day
they we're pulled. In this way, says the
Farm Journal, all green beans and
poor. wilted pods, will not thrash, and
the crop will be almost equal to hand
picked.

IOKIO GLAD THAT FRANCE
HAS ORDERED FLEET AWAY

Toxic, April 23.-The announcement that
in response to Japan's representations
France has promised the expulsion of the
Russian second Pacific squadron from
Kamranh bay, and affirmed her determi-
nation to maintain neutrality, is received
here with pleasure, and has relieved the
tension of popular feeling, although it
is believed that if Rojestvensky entered
Kamranh bay for the purpose of finally
preparing for a dash north, the purpose
was accomplished before he was ordered
to leave.
There is also a suspicion that Rojest-
vensky may simply make a technical re-
moval from French territorial waters by
going outside the three mile limit. Hence
the incident will remain unchanged until
the Russians depart from Indo Chinese
waters.
The foreign office, in statement issued
today, says:
