ls the richest woman in New York

The venality of Count Boni de Gas.
tellane is now shown by an attempt to
sell his own children to their mother

In some parts OF Siam . girl who
reaches a certain age without marry
ing is labeled, and placed in q priv.
ileged class under the special care OF
the King, who binds himself to find
husband for them all. His method is
delightfully."- simple. A prisoner in
any one OF the Siamese jails may gain
his pardon and release by marrying
one OF the eligible class. Whether
he is already married is not of great
consequence, for in Siam man is not
restricted to one wife.

Chicago claims to have proven that
university training Of women has prov
en- a stumbling. block to matrimony.
The proportion of CO eds of Chicago
University who have married during
the past sixteen years, the term of
their admission is exceedingly small,
about SO per cent. of them engaging
in teaching. This speaks we'll for the
increased opportunity afforded by thor.
ough education for means OF support
without resorting to woman's so called
destiny-marriage.

Vivian, a Labor member OF the Brit.
ish House Of Commons and adopted,
declared that the growth OF the ex-
penditure for national armament was
excessive and called upon the govern.
ment to reduce this drain upon the
country's resources. Foreign Secre.
tary Grey, speaking for the govern.
ment, welcomed this resolution and
hoped it would be taken by other
countries as an invitation to respond
to the British feeling on the subject.
Still our Congress proposes $lOO,OOO,-
600 for more warships.

Saloons OF San Francisco resumed
business July 5. No liquor had been
sold in the city since the day OF the
earthquake and fire. and prohibition
advocates may use as an argument the
fact that the Golden Gate during the
period was remarkably free from crime.
There was also noted surprising de-
crease in sickness, particularly in ty-
phoid fever cases. The saloons, which
formerly paid $S4 year license, will
now be required to contribute $500
annually to the city. When the ca.
looms re.opened extra policemen were
detailed for duty in all the blocks con.
tanning saloons, and orders we're given
to place all persons arrested for intoxi.
cation at work on the streets.

Bishop Chas. c. McCabe, of the
New York East Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in reply
to questions that implied the church
was opposed 10 labor unions, lately
said: "We are opposed simply to hav.
ing small percentage Of the labor
men to run the whole labor class in .
high-handed and auth oritative man.
ner. l am stating the position of the
Meth odist church to-day, as a member
OF this conference. I want the state.
ment to be published broadcast, 80
that there can be no doubt as to the
attitude Of the Methodists towards
honest labor. We are friends OF labor,
but we are as much the friend of the
80 per cent. of laborers who resent the
business of unions as we are of the
ten per cent. who are doing the boss.
ing" Now it is in order to boycott
the Bishops flock when the plate
passes.
