The schools of India are the crowning
glory of mission work: they are the mills of
which manhood and womanhood is the fin
lshed product OF a few OF them | shall
speak more in detail next week. in my final
aftcIe upon India. They are distinct and
powerful contribution to the forces which
are creating modern national conscious
ness in India.
One phase of missions to which the gov
eminent contributes its support, financial
and otherwise, is the industrial school work.
The Indian is proverbially unprogressive
and uninventive; the mission schools are
teaching the manual arts and in modern
fashion. so that new enterprises for the
winning of the livelihood are being created
and old ones revived.
For the Christians. be it understood are
practically a caste by themselves in most
friends and coreligionists; and it Is neces-
sary that some means of livelihood, not de-
pendent upon neighbOrhood favor, be taught
them Thus industrial training has a most
practical relation to missionary success:
since not all, nor. in these days of great
ingathering. very large percentage. of the
native Christians can be employed by the
missionaries in any capacity.
The powerful social leverage which is ex-
erted by female education in a land where
women are kept behind the curtain is al
most lncOmprehensble to one accustomed

far sightedly set to work to make the very
springs of India society Christian.
Physical hardships are more numerous
for missionaries in India than for those in

cool season, and then wonder why any
body should complain of the climate The

motives of many are doubtless mixed, but
they at least afford the missionary material
on which to work. The material is not of
the best. but it is human. Here, as in all
heather lands. it is to be borne in mind
that the missionary is really after his con-

of raw heathendom.

CLOSE OF THE TOPEKA CASE.
The Baseball Commission Refuse to
Reconsider the Matter.

Cincinnati, April 1S.-In refusing
the request of President O'Neil of the
Western league to reconsider the case
of the Topeka club which was drafted
from the Western asso citation by the
Western league the National baseball
commission emphasized previous ut
terances on minor league baseball law.
The decision says no new evidence
was filed Except in relating the cir
cumstances that occurred at a meet
ing recently held in Buffalo of certain
representatives of the American asso-
citation, President Shiveley of the
western association and others. The
commission will not grant the request
70 reopen this case. The members feel
they have gone as far in this matter
as they can. We have stated that the
legislation with respect to drafting of
the National association is unwise and
should be changed. We have also re-
quested that the National board to
take steps such as may be necessary
am1cably to arrange this controversy
and again we repeat that request but
VIII not reopen the case or go into the
merits of the proposition at this time
We also have been informed that at
the Buffalo meeting certain agree
ments were entered into which were
afterward not carried out. If such is
the case and the Western league has
been damaged thereby, they should
nave their redress before the National
BOARD of the National association

Mrs. Ella Brown, of 500 Morris
Ave, Topeka, Kans., says; THE opin-
ion of Mr. Brown formed of Doan's
Kidney Pills and expressed through
our Topeka papers in the summer of
1899 has not changed. although it is
now six years later. He has never
suffered so severely with pain in his
back and kidney trouble as he did be
fore using Doan's Kidney Pills. At
the time he used this medicine he had
a very acute attack which came on
with a sharp atwfHge of pain across his
loins and for time it was most diff
ficult for him to move. The use of
one box of Doan's Kidney Pills thor
oughly relieved him of the pain and
suffering. He is always ready to
speak a good word for this remedy"

It is asserted that most of the Of

Coroner Acritti has received a long

LAST DAY TO FILE.
Suits Against Insurance Companies in
Frisco Number 1900.

San Francisco, April 18.-More than
200 suits against insurance companies
for the payment of policies held during
the great fire a year ago were filed yes
terday at the county clerks office,
bringing the total well over 1900. At 5
o'clock, when the office closed, there
was long line of attorneys, clerks and
messengers waiting, and it took three
clerks nearly an hour to dispose of the
overflow. 1t was practically the last
day for the filing of such suits, although
in some cases the year allowed did not
expire until today. During the past
two days the county clerks office has
taken in nearly 5000 in fees on these
cases alone.

THEY FORGOT TO VOTE.
Over Six Thousand VIII Have to Reg
lister Again.

Almost one half of the 1888 who reg
iStered for the municipal election this
spring failed to vote on the regular cleo
ton day and as a consequence will have
to reregister in order to vote at the
fall elections.
The total number who registered were
1919 and those who voted numbered
S,764. This leaves total of 6,555 who
lost suffrage and will be compelled to
reregiSter.
Commissioner of Elections C. H. Titus
is more than ever disguised with the
new registration law which became eff
fective two years ago. Prior to that
voter had to register each year. Under
the new law if voter registered and
then voted at each succeeding general
election he did not need to reregister A
change of residence in either instance
has always demanded a new registra-
ton.
1t was figured out at first that ma
jority of the people would vote right
along but this proves to be an error.
People will get enthused over a primary
and vote and register for a primary but
fail to vote for the election that follows.
The registration is therefore all for
nothing. The registration books become
loaded down with old names and the
arduous. There is no economy under
the new law and it does not seem to in
duce the voters to vote regularly.
The report shows that of those who
were registered and failed to vote at
the last election 1851 were males and
1924 were females. BY wards those
who failed to vote: First ward-male
493; female, BAT. Second ward-maIe,
995; female, S57. Third ward-male, 1928;
female, $40. Fourth ward-male, 613;
female 536. Fifth ward-ma1e, 558; fe-
male, 1872 Sixth ward-male, 249; fe-
male, 243.
The registration by wards: First ward
male, 1928; female, 381. Second ward
male, 1,455; female, $50. Third ward
male, 1,1S3; female, 740. Fourth ward
male, 1,OS9; female, 51S.. Fifth ward
male, SO9: female, $50. Sixth ward
male, 424; female, 248.
