LEAVING OUT THE UNTTARIANs.
 Christians in New England naturally supposed that Unttarians would be in- cluded in the Federation Conference because they cooperate in state feder- ation organizations and do so heartily and acceptably. They were not in- vited by the committee in charge of the arrangements, but their associa- tion chose as delegates Dr. Edward Ev- erett Hale, Dr. S A. Eliot and Hon. John D. Long, all of Boston, and others were to be added. The Christian church in general honors these men for their Christian public service. The commit tee declined to accept them. From our point of view we wish Unitarians might have been included. We are glad that they have thus shown their willingness to cooperate in Christian work with denominations whose beliefs and aims Unltarians in former times repudiated. We are confident, however, that they would rather not be officially repre- scented than to have their delegates ac- cepted knowing that in consequence some of the largest denominations would have declined to participate This attitude seems to them due to ignorance and prejudice, which, how ever, may be removed by enlarging fellowship, but never by continued ex- c1usiveness. A great deal of provin- cfalism remains in churches in different sections of our country. They do not understand the belief, character or work of Christians whom perhaps on better acquaintance they would will ingly call by the name of brethren. New England Is not wholly free from this provincialism. This federation movement will help to overcome it, and it's work will progress faster through Christian patience than by means of irritating criticism of apparent narrow nsss in some religious denominations. Our Unitarian brethern are not much given to such criticism nowadays. They have shown themselves more in earn est to promote fraternity even where they believe themselves misunderstood.

TROLLEY CHANGES.

Tonight the local day trolleymen will 'bid in" for a choice of new runs on the New Haven system of the Consoli- dated railway in consequences of a change of service which will be made next Saturday. The night men, or 'trippers,'' as they are called, will Ibid in" for a choice of runs tomorrow aft- ernoon.
 The changes to be made in the sched- ule are the ones made for the winter. On the day indicated the Mt. Carmel cars will run to Savin Rock instead of to Kimberly avenue, as during the warm months. The State and Ferry street cars will run to Kimberly avenue instead of to the Rock. The Cliff street cars will run to the Howard avenue bridge.
 A rty-eight-minute service will be installed on the Lighthouse line in place of the twenty -four-minute service now in vogue.

CHINESE AS MINERS.

 Now that the Chinese labor question is well to the fore, some account of &C., tual experiences with the yellow la- borers on the Rand may not be unin- structive. have no theories and no fads, but I saw the first batch of China men march on to our mines premises. I have worked with them, and spent anxious days and nights in helping to keep them under when they have broken out. What I have to say is the truth as have seen it, told with out prejudice or exaggeration.
 To begin with, let me remark that the policy of mine managers has been to hush up all troubles. The full story of the rioting has never been told. If the Chinamen broke out and threaten ed whites or native boys, we were or dered to use no violence, even though our lives were threatened, and the cool ie fellows soon learned that they could go a long way without being hit back. Secondly, I may say 1t was wrong to intrust Chin1men with dynamite and other explosives. We have had some bad accidents in the last twelve months, and men have been blown to pieces through the careless handling of high explosives. But you can't get them to understand. Either their in- telligence is a low grade proposition, or in their complete satisfaction with them selves they have no room for further information. At the same time, they

A FINE SOCIAL TIME

Enjoyed by Friends of Miss Louise
 Robertson at Her Pearl Street Home
 Saturday Evening.
 Miss Louise Robertson of Pearl street held charming social at her home Saturday evening. The principal feat ure of the evening was whist playing. Solos were rendered by Miss Garvis, which was enjoyed by all, and was Miss Evarts' piano solos.
 A very dainty luncheon was enjoyed by those present. The refreshments consisted of bon bons and other deli cious delicacies. Those present were Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Bishop, Miss Evarts, Miss Watrous, Miss L. Garvie, Miss Louise Robertson, MT. Good, MT. Perry, Mr. Carpenter, MT. Garvis and MT. Westervelt.

hate the white man because of the &C., cidents.
 They are an unsavory crowd to handle. and reyel in mischief of every kind. Deviltry Is, perhaps. a better word than mischief in this instance. It was a rule in our mine that when a man had to climb up on rope or rope ladder from one stage to another. a Chinaman should always go first. If this simple insurance were disregarded. some Celestial gentleman, quite unseen, would be fairly safe to take the chance of hurling rock or stones on the head of the climber. On many occasions these China.nen have tempered with the cage by which We go to our work, and we have to examine the ft- tings carefully every time. T'ba con- horse it was, Tompkins decided, after inspection, but a poor specimen of the species-thin, knock-kneed, ewe-necked, with a face bearing an expression of the woes of ages concentrated on one poor victim.
 Where did you get that beast?" Tompkins asked his friend. Its a shame to drive the poor thing. It ought to be turned out to grass, or put out of its misery with a bullet" he de- clared.
 Not on your life," answered his friend. This is Ned. the chief attrac- tion of the farm. He has the looks of a martyr, and the deyilish disposl- tion and ingenuity of a Spanish in quisitor, He'll buck, run away, balk or bite the arm off you with equal neat ness and pleasure"

Tonpkins, sympathetic, would not

Tompkins, sympathetic, would not believe it. The poor beast was misun- derstood, he declared. He railed at his friend all the way to the farmhouse for using the whip at every conceivable opportunity. He missed the significant testimony of Neds wicked eyes and beckturned ears.
 Until his visit ended, Tompkins had no experience with Ned. His last train left at 10 D. m. Talking with his friend, he waited until the last moment be- fore starting. They went to harness Ned for the long drive to the station Adjusting an old harness to a stub born horse by dim lantern, in great haste, is rather difficult proceeding. Tompkins lost much of his respect for Ned in course of the process. But when they were fairly started and his friend was fervently hoping that the horse wouldn't turn balky, Tompkins again sprang to Ned's de- fense. Just then Ned jumped half way across the road at a shadow and plant ed his feet firmly in the dust, baked, unmistakably. Much urging would not start him. The moral suasion of both men had no effect on him,
 His watch told him he had no time to spare, and his gait increased in speed until hewas running-a thinghe had not done for several years. Breathless, al- most ready to drop from the exertion, he threw himself into the station just in time to see the rear lights of the train round distant curve.
 He slept the rest of the night in the station. A letter to his friend the next day contained unexpurgated opinions
