IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE.
" -

Prof William Lyon Phelps, of Yale, says "the gnor
of college students in biblical literature is universal,
profound and complete
He gives two amusing instances:
He asked one student what Shakespeare meant by the
phrase Here feel not the penalty of Adam and the
student replied 'It the work put upon Adam for
having slain his brother"
He asked another the meaning of ''Gogotha." After
bordering awhile the reply made cit means
GOLIATH
Prof. Phelps says he has made careful invest gaton
and finds that such incidents these common in
american colleges. He says if he appointed
nmner for admission to college he would cut out every
pst of books and confne the examination to the author
6zed version of the Bible.
And what he says true the professor is not far
out of the way to his requirement for admission
college.

TRIAL MARRIAGE"

Mrs Elsie Clews Parsons, doctor of philosophy for
Xix years lecturer sociology in Barnard college,
haughter of rich banker and wife of congressman pro-
poses this startling reform" in a book ''The Family,

''Trial marriage" certainly sounds sensational.
But prosaic matter Of fact the commences, cheap
and responsibility of divorce has rendered all mar

1t is difficult imagine greater facility In the annul
ent of marriage than obtains in most OF the states
No reform is necessary to bring about precisely
hhe condition. in effect which Mrs Parsons proposes
The reform is needed in other direction We need to
get rid of the feeling that marriage experiment
OF course, all couples at the time of marriage expect
to live happily after. Trial marriage could mean
nothing to them at that time. People who do not feel
for the time at least that they take each other for
life need no ''tral" to prove they not fitted.
The absence of offspring during ''tral' would be
powerful of failure in many marriages that might
otherwise have been successful But that would be moth

there children to tie the heartsrngs together there
is no real trial of marriage.

operate toward successful marriage provided by

Human statutes provide for failue-and. alas! there
are too many Of them already.

By HENRY GEORGE, JR.

TOKYO, Nov. 26.-With Japan's
new aspirations have come-in the
larger cities, at least-an increase
in wages. In the building trades
in Tokyo, for instance, wages dur
ing the past nine or 10 years have
doubled. And this is so in some
other lines.
But with the new standard Of
living and the rise in wages has
come a new cost of living. This is
owing to the same monopoly and
taxation causes that are operating
in the United. States.
Curious as it may seem, the
first effort at trades union organi-
cation, as we know it, has proved
failure in Japan. 1t occurred
within recent years, when the de-
mand for laborers was increasing
and wages were on the rise. AS
we know in the United States,
during a period of industrial pros
perity Is not the time when unions
recruit. but, on the contrary, they
lose in membership and fall heav-
lily into arrears in dues. And since
the majority of workers in the
respective trades here could make
better terms independently in the
sale of their labor than was pos
ssble by united demand through
union, they lost interest in the
u1ion idea.

PANAMA BONDS BIDS.
Entire Issue Is Subscribed for Several
Times Over.

washington. July 21.-Bids have
been opened at the treasury depart
ment for the 100000 600 ten-thirty
Panama canal bonds under Secretary
Shaw's circular of July 2. and al
though no awards have been made. it
is evident that the entire issue has
been subscribed for at an average of
from 1O3.94 to 1896.
The largest and best single offer was
that of Fisk & Robinson of New York,
who made six bids of $4,000, 600 each,
at an average of 103.S5. Similar bids
at higher prices, however, Will prob
ably reduce the amount which will
likely be awarded to them to about
$15.OOO0OO. One bid of 106 for the
VIII ole issue came from q man named
Lindsay at New Orleans, but on ac-
count Of conditions named and for
other reasons the bid was not consid-
cred. Several Geographic bids we're
received too late to be considered, but
the prices named were too small to be
successful.
The secretary having stated that the
bonds would be mum bered serially, be-
ginning with the highest bid. one offer
was made at 125 for $1,000. thus Sc
curing to the bidder bond No. /. An
examination of the best bids show that
offers of 104 lis and up aggregated
SIS, $50; 104 to 1O4 1-16 aggre-
gated S1.100,ss0; 1875 to 104 aggre-
gated $14,178,00

which any of the bonds can be award
ed. Included in the bids are:

BOY TOO GENEROUS.
Gave Playmates Niclels and Dimes
and Ten Cent Cigars.

Although but twelve years old. John
Nillenberger confessed yesterday to
several burglaries after he had been
taken into custody by Detectives Belts
and Golf on the suspicion that he had
been concerned in robbing several
stores on the North side He is the
son of a Santa Fe employee living in
North Topeka He is rather small for
his age and is bright faced little
chap.
1t was his generosity which led to
his career of crime being checked.
During the last couple OF weeks Mill
lenberger has been bestowing on his
playmates ten cent cigars. bushels
of candy and nickels and dimes. A
number of burglaries of small stores
on the North side have been reported
of late to the police and Detectives
Belts and Golf have been on the
burglars trail. Most of the burglaries
were of q minor character. cigars,
candy and small change from the cash
drawers being the only things taken
and none of these in large quantities.
Golf and Belts heard of young Millen-
berger's generosity with his friends
and took him into custody. He con-
fessed all the burglaries which the po-
lice accused him of and told of having
committed several others which had
not been reported to the police
The boy was placed in the custody
of the Juvenile court and as this is his
first offense 1t is likely that he will be
DarOled.

BEN BUTLER TOOK CHARGE.
And He Was Not the Autocrat of New
Orleans Either.

Ben Butler, a negro, is now in the
county jail on a charge of burglary
for stealing some household goods
from the cottage at the corner OF
Fourth and Quincy streets, which was
supposed to be vacant, but which
Butler has evidently been living IN
as he was found there asleep yester-
day afternoon by Detectives Pavey,
Belts and Golf.
This house had been occupied by
M. Bolyes and family, who recently
moved to Omaha, leaving some OF
their household goods in the house
until they should order them shipped
by W. c. Stephenson. agent for the
house. Mr. Stephenson received a re-
quest for the goods yesterday and
went around to the house to look
them over. He saw evidences in the
kitchen that meal had been cooked
there recently and notified the po-
lice The detectives went around to
the house and on searching It found
Butler upstairs and asleep. Several
boxes which the Boyles had packed
with goods had been broken open ana
the stuff which had been IN them
could not be found around the house.
Butler denied having stolen anything
from the house.
The police claim they have evidence
which will convict Butler of stealing
the goods. Some twenty different
keys were found on Butler and it e
likely that he has visited other vaca&8
furnished houses in town.
