MRS. PARSONS SCORED.
Trial Marriages Denosnoed by Dr.
Parkhurst the New Fork Divine.

Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst, in
his Thanksgiving day cermon, de-
nounced trial marriages in a scathing
arraignment Of Mrs. Herbert Parsons
new book, "Ihe Family" He believed
Mrs. Parsons had not meant to be i'm
moral and that her work showed deep
research and long and careful prepare
ton, but that it had been handled
without the least delicaey or reserve"
and that the authoress had shown "un-
bending indifference in her treatment
of the subject"
Trial marriages, he said struck at
the foundation Of the home, tore
asunder the sacredness Of the marriage
tie, and reduced human beings to the
level of brutes. Continuing he said:
The sanctity of the home is pre-
served through the purity Of the re-
lations between father and mother.
Marriage is the joining together Of
two souls, regardless Of physical con-
ditions. Yet We hear. read and know
Of marriages which assume the aspect
of barter when people marry for money
or for title. This Is all depressing
condition upon the holy ceremony of
marriage. The purely physical aspect
Of marriage is eoarsely and grossly
put before the y0ang man. the holy
side OF the contract east aside"
Rev. Dr.. Morgan DIX was sponsor
for the belief that the outcome Of the
Crapsey trial was a blessing He
preached at Old Trinity before a larger
Thanksgiving day congregation than
usual.
Without mentioning names Dr.. Dix
said that among causes for thankful
ness we're the sustaining by a court
of appeals of a decision against theo-
logical offender. DR.. Dix added that
there was dark side, and that Is the
restlessness everywhere among the
people.
And now on our home side. affecting
our church interests, we have, think
some reason for thanksgiving. The
idea that he clergy, having sworn to
preach her doctrines, may impeach her
faith and practices, and say what they
think, publicly rejecting things which
the church holds dear, without regard
to the Bible, the prayer book or any
thing else, is proposition 80 astound-
ing that it is difficult to believe that
any man In his right mind could sup
port It."
When a man has big bunch of
railroad passes he takes great pride
in showing them.
In the opinion of coffee salesman
the best grocer in town Is the one who
buys the most of his coffee.

The possibility OF the earthquake al

LONDON. Aug. 2o-Most of the pri-S

cerning the disaster in Chile give the
Impression that the earthquake was
less serious than at first reported.
They are, however, all very brief and
mostly OF a personal nature.
The Chilean legation has received no
official advices, but over score of tele-
grams from residents of Valparaiso and
Santiago have reached the legation
through friends of officials living in
London. All these are cheerful in tone
and indicate that the loss of life was.
not as serious as the initial reports
indicate.
The same may be said of dispatches
received by business houses. though in
some cases they give serious reports.
Nearly all the dispatches say that the
business staffs or foreign firms are
safe and that the companies buildings
are not much damaged This is partly
explained in dispatch to Foelsch &
Co of Hamburg. which says:
Earthquake and fire was confined
practically to Valparaiso. Damage to
all European houses will prove slight
