ception to our idea in this column.
Well, we don't blame them, they
were not particularly written for
them, although we believe there is
much in this department that
would do them good, and we are
glad to know that some give them
a reading. We write particularly
in the interests of our wives, our
mothers and daughters, with an
occasional hint for fathers and
sons) and we have received the
testimony of many, that they have
been greatly encouraged by what
they have found in this depart
ment, and so we feel our labor is
not entirely in vain, but are en-
couraged to work on, and as best
we can, promote the interests of
the household.
While Robert F. Ingersoll is not
often quoted in a Home Circle
Department., and his teachings
were harmful to the home, yet he
said some of the most beautiful
things eve spoken and said them
the best. He was on one occasion
asked to give two views in a SYM
postum of women, and in reply
said: cit takes a hundred men
to make an encampment, but one
woman can make a home. l not
only admire woman as the most
beautiful object ever created, but
I reverence her as the redeemed
of humanity, the sanctuary of all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head. 1t is
because women are SO much bet
ter than men that their faults are
considered greater. The one
thing in this world that is constant
the only peak that rises above all
the clouds, the one window in
which the light burns forever, the
one star that darkness cannot
quench, is woman's love. 1t rises
to the greatest heights, it sinks tc
the lowest depths, it forgives the
most cruel injuries. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart
This is the real love that subdues
the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles of art; thai
gives us music all the way from
the cradle song to the grand clos
ing symphony that bears the SOU
away on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweetel
than life and stronger than death

An easy way to spoil an even
ing meal is for each one to relate
the disappointments that have
happened, the Sights endured, or
the ~offenses given. These are
enough to counterfeit the effect of
all good things the most generous
and skillful housewife can place
upon her table.
Why has a boy any more right
than a girl to leave his hat on the
parlor table, his gloves on the
mantle, his coat on the chair or
newell post, and his shoes in the
middle of the room? He can learn
orderliness Just as well as his sis
ter if he begins in time. Now is
the time to begin.
-. p
Ii the boy is to be a 'Flittle gen.
tleman" when away from home,
he must be taught, and not by
precept alone, but as well by ex-
ample, when he is at home. And
the influence of the example of the
father upon the son, and of the
mother upon the daughter, will be
much more potent than any
amount of advice or rules of ETH
quette.
The misguided people who as
sert that marriage as an institu-
ton is a failure are generally gaz-
ing through spectacles blurred by
their own mistakes. They have
made a failure perhaps and itmay
because of selfshness. There are a
thousand happy hearthstones to
one that is cold and c~heerless--a
thousand prizes to one blank, and
we usually hear more about prizes
than blanks. Marriage is not a
failure. Some individuals are.
1t is probably not true that fam
lily manners" are less courteous
now than formerly probably the
is the fact, but it must be
admitted that there is yet room
for a great deal of improvement.
Somehow, somewhere, there has
crept into popular acceptance the
idea that with marriage, or at least
with the waning of the honey
moon, the clover days" are over,
and the kindness, gentleness, and
attention which existed during
the courtship has no longer a place
in the domestic economy of the
welded pair.

HEAVY XMAS MAILS

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Dec. 18.-Though this is
the gladstone Christmas season in
most places, in the postofice the mer-
riness of Christmas is expressed in
beads of perspiration and one grand
hurry-scurry. From all reports the
pressure of business has been greater
this year than ever before. Each year
the foreign Christmas mails grow
heavier and heavier and this year the
increase has been most marked. The
big rush is now practically over as
tomorrow boats are the last to sail
with any possibility Of reaching the
other side in time to have it's mails
distributed before Christmas. Since
December 1, foreign money orders ex-
ceeding total Of $5.000,000 have been
issued at the New York postofice. The
greater part of this sum went to Ire
land. Some Of Italy sent home Christ
mas presents aggregating about 500,
900. Germany, Austria, Sweden, Rus
sia, Hungary and England were re-
membered with large sums and even
Greece, The Netherlands, Denmark,
Switzerland and little Luxemburg
were not overlooked in the general
distribution.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-Startliug
testimony was given by Rudolph
Spreckles yesterday in the proceed
ings before Superior Judge Dunno, in
which Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz and
Abraham Ruef are seeking to set aside
five indictments found against each
of them for the felony Of extortion.
Spreckles, who had been called to
the witness stand by the defense,
testified during his examination that
Abraham Ruef had called on him at
the time of the big municipal bond is
sue, and asked him to form a syndi-
cate to take all bonds thus authorized.
Spreckles was unable to see what
guarantee there was that If the syndi-
cate were formed, it could secure the
bonds, as under the law they must he
put up at public auction and sold to
the highest bidder.
Ruef informed Spreckels, according
to his testimony on the stand, that
this could be easily arranged. for he
would have a general strike declared
on all street railroads, and tie up the
different lines. With San Francisco
in this condition, relative to it's pas
senger transportation he calculated,
so Spreckles says, that no outside
capital would bid on the city's bonds
and the syndicate would have a clear
field.

a portion of this is used for purel!
ecclesiastical purposes. the great ma
jority of the funds being used for
charity and philanthropy. OF this
property the clergy are the trustees,
by virtue of the conditions under which
it was donated and bequeathed. Their
acceptance of the new law, and the
transfer of this property of the trust
to the Associations Cultuelles would
ALLEVIATE forever the estate of the
church in Difference to an iniquitous
law which may be repealed by another
parliament.

the clergy of the property OF the church
to these bodies there could not only be
no public exercises of divine worship,
but there would also follow the con-
fiscation of the sacred ediflces, the
rectories and other ecclesiastical prop
erty by the state.
There is no question of the differ
ence between the various religious de-
nominations. The pope and the Roman
Catholic church in France today are
fighting with far better justification
and much greater moderation the very
war that Chalmers and the other foun-
ders of the free kirk waged in Scot

rights of Christ The clery of France,
in a word, are fighting the battle of

own lights. .....

Bishop Farley on French Church
and the Noted State Controversy
Associated Pres. to The Evening Time,

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Dec. 18.-Archbishop
John A. Farley of New York gave out
the following statement on the church
and state controversy in France:
Here in America, where there is no
attempt made by the state to interfere
with the various religious denomina-
tions, the people at large are naturally
disposed to condemn clergymen who
by declining to comply with the be-
hests of the government expose them
selves to charge of rebellion against
the authorities of the land. But in ord er
to understand the refusal of the Roman
Catholic clergy of France to fulfill the
requirements of the new law of separa-
tion, it must be explained that the pro-
visions Of the statute in question de-
mand the consent of the church and t
its ministers to the alienation of all
the property that has been bequeathed
and donated them to be held in trust
for religious and philanthropic pur-
poses. 1t is property which they do not
derive from the government but from
the munificence of the pious and, of
which they are merely the trustees.
1.-The situation created by the new
law of separation, which is the cause
of the present crisis in France, is
as IL, for instance, the legislature of
New York were to enact laws compel
ling the trustees of the Trinity church
corporation, under the penalty Of con-
fiscation, to give their consent to the
alienation of all its vast property to
other uses than those for which it WAS
intended, and to transfer its aiminis-
tration and control to people who
might either belong to rival denomin-
ations, or even profess atheism. 1t is
as If the legislature of New York were
to enact statute requiring the Cath
olic church to consent to the trans

OUR COAST DEFENCE
Brig. Gen. Arthur Murray
Says Field and Coast Ar
tillery is Deficient.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-"Both the
coast and the field artillery are badly
deficient in both personnel and materi-
al; neither is it in even approximately
proper condition for instruction in
time of peace, much less in condition
for reasonably efficient service in
war, and the time necessary to put
either in the latter condition is not a
matter Of days or weeks, but of
years.
Brig. Gen. Arthur Murray, chief of
artillery, who sums up the condition
of his arm of the service in his an
nual report just made public, and in
which he says it cannot be too strong
ly urged that appropriate legislation
be obtained to make good the de-
ficiencies and to correct the defects
referred to.
The total cost of the present sys-
TEN of coast defense of the United
States to Feb. 27 last, Gen. Murray
says, was $72,750,s53, and the esti-
mated cost to complete the defense
of the United States, including esti-
mates for ammunition and cost of
sites, is $50,S79,339. The three ele-
ments of defense most needed, and
which will secure the greatest meas
ure of public safety at the least cost,
Gen. Murray says, are the completion
of the installation of the approved
system of range and position finding
for all guns and mortars mounted; the
providing of necessary searchlights
for harbor defense at night, and the
completion of the submarine mines

ment Made Today.
Associated Pres. to The Evening Times.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken determined
interest with view to finding leg
islative remedy for the car shortage
In the northwest, which now threatens
the people with freezing and starva-
ton, because the railroads are unable
to transport fuel and food to them, was
indicated by conference at the White
House today.
The president sent for Senator
Hansbrough and asked him whether
or not the actual danger Of suffering
is as great as has been reported by
the press dispatches and kilograms
from individuals. The North Dakota
senator reported that from the dis
patches he has received, the statement
of conditions in his state, Minnesota
and South Dakota, has not been ex-
aggerated. The president promised to
give the question his personal atten-
ton, with a view to alleviating any
immediate suffering, and said he de-
sired Senator Hansbrough to devote
time and thought to some legislative
remedy, in order to avoid occurrences
of the present conditions.
The plan Senator Hansbrough has
in mind is the passage of law which
would compel railroads to anticipate
extraordinary movements of fuel,
grain or other commodities, and to
prepare to take care of such shipments
when they are offered. It has been
suggested that the interstate COM
merce commission could investigate
the probable excessive offerings for
shipment of commodities of all kinds,
and compel the railroads to furnish
transportation.
1t is believed by Senator Hans
brough that If a law of this character
were passed, the railroads would be
able to contract for the use of equip
ment from roads in the south, or other
parts Of the country, when the demand
for rolling stock is great during the
winter or crop moving seasons.

fer of the management and control of
its sacred edifices and the educational
and charitable institutions to associa-
tions in which not merely avowed foes
of Catholicism among the Protestant
denominations, but also agnostics and
scheming politicians were in the ma-
jority.
Were such laws to be enacted i'll
New York the clergy and trustees ad-
ministering the great property of the
Trinity church corporation, and the
clergy and trustees invested with the
direction of the property of the Cath
olic church, would be prompted to re-
fuse obedience, not only on religious
grounds but by reason of their convic-
ton that compliance would involve a
fragrant disregard of their moral and
material obligations. They would look
upon the law in question as iniquitous
and unconstitutional.
1T is inccnceivable to the American
people that the New York legislature
or that of any other state should enact
any such laws OF virtual spoliatlOn.
Yet that is precisely what the French
government has done.
I'm word, the new law requires
of the church the alienation of all its
property to boards of laymen In the
selection of which it has practically no
voice; this board to have full and per-
feet control, not only over the funds,
but even over the religious offices
and over the exercise Of divine wor-
ship itself, independent of pope, bisI-
ops and cannon law.
"The property at stake consists OF
about 10000 churches and the property
accumulated by means of endowmen :
and legacies during the last hundre
years, since the last confiscation Of
church property at the time of the
great revolution, and amounting
considerably over $100,000,000. Only
