Rain HELPS
TO EXT|NGU|sH

was a great relief to the farmers Of the
state.

England got greater downfall. The In
habitants at the Buzzards bay end of the
cape. who have been lighting fires for
nearly a week were relieved and rejoiced
today when heavy downpour of rain set
In about o'clock this forenoon. Although
the fire had been checked last night by
back fires. there was very little hope but
that It would start up again today. as 1t
has done every day this week, when the
breeze began TO blow, but this forenoon
there was very little wind.
The rain, however. was the most valua-
BILE assistant to the wearied fighters who
watched it's fall with the hope that II
might continue for several days

CORTELYOu TO RELIEVE
ANNUAL CROP STRAIN

n large amount OF money, while Il really
helped. was generally III timed and came
either too soon or too late.
Under the new plan the secretary will
place government funds In amounts large
enough TO meet the situation. For this
purpose he may use all custom funds,
which he Is permitted to do under the AL
drich act and II the funds are not suffi-
Client he will augment them from the
available treasury balance, which In
creases each week after the usual July
deficit.
He believes that by not announcing In
advance the amounts TO be deposited he
will prevent spectators from taking ad-
vantage OF the situation and obtaining
money which he believes should go into
other channels.
In adopting this plan the secretary
gave careful consideration to the ques-
tion OF gold exports. and he Is OF the
opinion that the present measure OF re-
lief will do much 10 prevent a movement
OF gold to Europe.

SOLEMN|zING THE
COREY WEDDING

The Nation.-In connection with the
humiliation of the unfortunate clergy
man who officiated at the unsavory
wedding last week, the question must
have puzzled many why his services
should have been sought at all. One
might have thought that a Tammany
magistrate would have had just about
the holy presence needed to tsolem-
nize'' such a marriage. So long as the
whole proceeding was confessedly an
outrage upon all religious feeling, to
say nothing of mere morals, why
should even the semblance of religion
have been logged in? True, under the
hugger-mugger of our divorce laws, the
affair was perfectly legal, but that is
no reason for attempting to throw the
hollow mockery of a sacred ceremony
about it. A common-law marriage
would have been sufficient, and much
more appropriate. Yet it is well known
that the parties to such travesties are
usually consumed with anxiety to
secure 1.-THE blessing of the Church.
To get this, they are often as unscrup-
ulous in deceiving ministers about the
true state of the case as they are in
making the legal arrangements for
their revolving unions; and this puts
an especial duty of caution and in
quiry upon the clergymen to whom
they apply to ''consecrate'' them. In
the present instance, of course, the
facts were notorious, and the unhappy
minister walked into his own discom-
future with his eyes open. A ready
knowledge of the Scripture would be
an invaluable help to a clergyman so
tempted. To an emissary of a man like
Corey he could say, THY money perish
with thee" or, 'Is thy servant dog
that he should do this thing?"
