Whatever passing annoyance may have re-

10 reply to his statements has been afforded.
When this has been improved the President will
be in position 10 judge whether the report OF
the naval inspector of target practice the
work Of the coast artillery was in any respect
inaccurate or unjust
Now that it is known that Commander Sims
undertook his investigation because he was in
structed TO make one his action cannot be re-
garded as a breach Of professional etiquette.

1t has long been the policy of she government,

military nations also, to encourage rivalry be-

Such emulation promotes skill in Workmanship
and rapidity of fire. and thus conduces to the
public safety. Mutual criticism of one branch

intlmated with much emphasis that if it should
refuse to do so, and should persist in pursuing
narrow courses of ecclesiastical policy, the
Church would widen and deepen the already

IFS alienation from the life of the nation, and

academic or other. But there can be no ques-
ton that the demand for diSestablishment of
the Church of England has received great
impetus in the last few years, partly because
of the education question and partly because
of the marriage controversy. The possible re
suits of Cisestablishment, with all that 1t I'M
plies would be so portentOus that they are not
to be contemplated lightly. but it is pretty evil
dent that it would not be difficult to make that
step inevitable In the near future. Yet 1T would
be an anomaly if an establishment which had

life and vital interests of the nation, had played
so essential a part in his historic development

Plttsburg. Pa, Jan. 17.-(SpeciaD
The third annual meeting of the
Carnegie Hero fund commission, was
held in this city this morning and
eighteen interesting awards were
made. The most interesting of these
awards was that of silver medal to
Mrs. Mark G. Black, the wife OF a
dairyman at Gardener, Oregon. A
pet dog of Mrs. Blacks figured large
ly in the act of heroism that called
for the the medal.
The report of the special agent for
the commission states that in July
1904. Mrs. Black, with the aid of her
dog, rescued three girls from death
by drowning. The young ladies were
wading in river when they got bey-
ond their depth and were about to
drown when saved by Mrs. Black and
her faithful dog.
