Paupcr Clergymen.

That ministers are underpaid would
seem evident from the fact that during
the last ten years one hundred and
three clergymen have been admitted to
almshouses in England as paupers.
OF these, one was Doctor of Divin-
ity, while the others held the degree
of Master of Arts. Of all the Episco-
pal clergymen in England, six thous-
and earn less than twenty dollars Il
week, and the great majority much
less.-New York Tribune.
What will be the attitude of Hearst's
papers toward New York is worrying
the dyspeptic fans. Andy. Freedman
landed in New York during the recent
political campaign, and one of the
first things he did was to hand a sour
one to Hearst, saying he was OPP
posed to the editor politician. and
would vote for Hughes. 1t is not
thought that stick will have to be
used next season to scrape off any of
the "salve" Hearst's papers will
spread on the Giants.

PLAY rs A SATIRE
Father Vaughan Gives Analysis of ssThe
Merchant Of Venice.

'The Merchant Of Venice'' is the
greatest satire in the English language,
according to Father Vaughan, the actor
priest, who spoke in the First Baptist
church last evening under the auspices
OF the Teachers club. Father Vaughan
i: a student Of dramatic literature and
his unusual force and magnetism add
strength to his power as dramatic
speaker. ~ :.
"There is not line in the play to
justify students in treating it as a
comedy he said. s.tIt was built to
show the narrowness of the Christians
of Venice. The whole motive centers
around the fact that the greatest enc
my of the Jews is made to sign his
heart away to a Jew. The only laugh
ter in it is contained in the sneers at
q Christianity that takes from another
faith a girl whose only preparation to
enter it was to steal her father s money
and the family jewels.
In the great picture that has Shy
lock for it's center the intention is not
to make Shylock the laughing stock of
the nations, but to show how far the
people who scorn the Jews are from
living the life that brings men nearer
to God.'' = -

'.'MONUMENT OF FRAUD"
Is Pennsylvania 100000 Capitol
Which Cost 100000 to Furnish.

.. Harper's Weekly.
The people Of Pennsylvania are try
ing to discover why their luxurious
new capitol at Harrisburg, which cost
$4,000,0O0, has required 100000
worth Of GO furniture. The state is
full Of charges Of graft, and against
these charges the best defense thus far
offered is that the mere shell of the
building was constructed within the
$4,000,000 cost prescribed by the con-
tracts, and that it was more expedient
to finish the interior Of the. capitol un-
der the guise Of 81 furnishings - than
to 60 before the. legislature and ask
for new appropriation. ~.
The ordinary meaning Of the word
furniture was lost. early in the
process of capitol building. Floors,
wainscoting, mantels, lighting systems,
telephone systems. ETC., were put in
and paid for as g furniture. - The elec-
troliers, the most important item Of
" furniture,' cost more than $4,000
900. One can find no other building
in the world lighted at such great ex-
pense. The citizens Of the common
wealth are dazed by the spectacle of a

WITHOUT NICOTINE

From United States Consular Reports.
Carl Bailey Hurst, consul at Plauen,
reports; that in spite Of the fact that
German cigars as whole are light in
comparison with those Of other. coun-
tries, there has been considerable local
agitation as to the harmful effects of
smoking, and Of over-smoking in par
ticular., ! * .<'
Altho the use of the weed has In no
wise diminished thereby, some factories
are now producing cigars. known as
free Of nicotine and poor in nicotine -
which are gaining in popular estimation.
It has come to notice, however, that GER
tain makes of these cigars are advertised
as free from this poison, but contain in
reality from O38 to 0.9 per cent Of nico-
tine, while ordinary cigaretr tobacco
varies between. 0.3 and O.4 per cent.
Thus there is little difference between
some of the tobacco from which the MIC
otine is supposed to have been extracted
and that which has not been treated. An
effort is now being made In Saxony to
! fix the maximum that a cigar poor in
nicotine may contain in order to- be sold
as such, and the tobacco Of the cigar
|. claimed as .free' must be so cured that
! a chemical analysis will be unable to- re-
| veal the presence of nicotine. 81
