statu. of Churche. I'm Germany.

The official order book of church mem
bership in Germany, issued by Pastor
Schneider of Elberfeld, as translated and
reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows
that the number of conversions from the
Roman Catholic church to the Protestant
is considerably grea-er than those who
have gone from the Protestant ranks into
tie Roman faith. According to this au-
thority, 1913 members of the Catholic
church in Germany became Protestants
between 1890 and 1894, while only 1854
went from Professionalism to Catholicism
The order book draws attertion to the
fact that not only in the empire as a
whole, but in each and every State the
Protestants have been making the greater
gains. Relatively these are much greater
in France than elsewhere.

PARLIAMENT FOR FILIPINos.
I'm 1907 the President Will Redeem
Promise Made.

In 1907 the President Will Redeem
Promise Made.
A Washington dispatch says that the
President is preparing TO redeem his
promise made to the Philippine people
through Secretary Taft that they shall
have a parliament of their own, con-
ditioned upon their good behavior for
a term of two years, and it is under
stood that Secretary Taft himself will
proceed to the Philippines next spring
to witness the installation of the new
form of representative government
On March 81. 1905, the Philippine
census was published, and consequent
ly two years from that date-March
%, 1907-under the terms of the, act
of Congress. the President will direct
the Philippine commission to call a
general election for the choice of dele
Philippine assembly. This body is to
take over all legislative powers hereto
fore exercised by the Philippine COM
mission in all that part of the archi-
"
Christian tribes.
As this date draws neas the Philip
pine people are showing signs of agi-
tation and to the officials here it is evil
dent that they are expecting some ben
efits that cannot at once be realized.
For instance. the assembly of provi-
sional governors recently in session in
Manila with the view to arranging the
preliminaries for the meeting of the
Philippine assembly is reported to
have Recommended that the suffrage be
widely extended. 1t is pointed out
here that this is not possible. for the
reason that the act of Congress under
which the assembly will. be convened
expressly states the qualifications of
voters.
These in brief are that the voter
must be at least % years of age
(which was the Spanish requirement. ;
must be able to read and write either
Spanish or English, or must own a GER
tain small amount of property, or
must have been in the past an office
holder under the Spanish government
These qualifications were framed upon
the old Spanish practice and no Philip
pine assembly can change them. The
new assembly or legislature will con.
sist of two houses to be known as the
Philippine commission and the Philip
pine assembly, the latter to consist OF
not less than fifty nor more than 10C
members. 1t is probable that the pres
ent commission will be merged in the
upper house.

Fire Which Wiped Out Lynnvflle Is

Accused of having burned down virtu-

c. Pulling, a retired merchant, formerly
OF that place, but now living in Boonville,
was indicted by the grand. jury and ar
rested. He was released on $1,000 bail
Pulling had accumulated considerable
property in his business in Lynnville, and
last summer planned to retire. On the
night of July II the fire started, and it
was not checked until almost every build
ing in the town was in ruins and many
families had been made homeless. The
theory of those who suspect Pulling is
that he started the fire with the intention
of collecting the insurance on his prop
erty and that when he saw what dis
aster resulted he dared not claim his IN
surance money. The loss in the lire was
100000.

CAUGHT BY FINGER PRINT.
British Murderer Betrayed Through
New System of Identification.

A curious result of the recent adoption
of the system of Identification by finger
prints by the United States army is the
discovery of British murderer in the
person of a soldier at Fort Leavenworth.
The man was a prisoner in the United
States penitentiary, serving a fve-year
sentence for military crime. In prison
he was well behaved, but when the war
den, following the general order to take
finger print records of soldiers, attempted
to obtain impression of the mans dig
its, he met with violent resistance and
the assistant who tried to make the rec
ord was knocked down. Suspecting that
this resistance was based upon the mans
knowledge of the use to which the finger
prints might be put. the warden sent
copies of the prints to the police authori-
ties in a number of cities. In a short
time Scotland Yard reported that the man
had committed an atrocious murder in
Morta, that he had been sentenced to life
Imprisonment and that he had escaped to
America.
