There is much ground for hopeful
ness of moral regeneration in the non
Catholic world when not a Protestant
clergyman in New York city could be
got to tie the nuptial knot in a dis
reputable marriage, says the Philadel-

The man in the case is millionaire

sn1itten as she displayed her charms

just divorced his wife in order to ac-
quire this charming nereid-this ell

wicked practice Of clerSymen Of his

He forbade any minister in his juris-

BRYAN STILL THE LEADER.

The people of the Twin Cities had
an opportunity last week to hear Mr..
Bryan. 1t was his first appearance
in the Northwest since his extensive
travels abroad. His admirers certain
ly have no reason for changing their
opinions of him. His opponents. who
have distrusted him for alleged intem-
perate and radical opinions. should re-
wise their opinions. Mr.. Bryan, no
doubt, holds essentially the same opin
ions on public affairs that he did when
he was last a candidate for the presi-
dency. 1t would be a little hard for
anyone to find fault with him because
Of radical opinions or Incorporate eX-
preston. MIR. Bryan is an optimist
not a pessimist He has the appear
ance of a man who believes that there
is more good in the world than bad
He shows by his action and his speech
that he has confidence in the people
and their ability to decide rightly on
public questions. He compared some
phases of European government with
our own and always to the disadvant
age Of the European governments.
The wonderful hold that Mr.. Bryan
has upon a large portion of the Amer
lean people is easily understood. He
trusts the people and acquiesces in
their judgment even where they are
opposed to his policies. 1t is for this
reason that man who has been twice
decisively defeated for the presidency
still maintains the leadership of his
party. There is nothing of the soured
the future with as much enthusiasm
as he faced the campaign of 1895. His
speeches and interviews are little
more subdued but nothing more thar
what would be expected from increased
age and experience.
Mr.. Bryan did not talk politics. He
has given no indication as to what his
plans are for next year. but one thing
is certain and that is that he is a
greater political force today than eve,
before. There can be little question
that he can. If he wills. absolutely die
tate the action of the next Democratic
convention. His power to control that
body is probably more certain thar
the power Of Theodore Roosevelt tc

that a similar policy in Ireland would

Daily Life Glorifed.

Last Sunday morning in unnum-
bered churches throughout the land
stood a simple table and upon it
bread and wine. Men were partak-
ing of the Lords Supper. Christ had
touched commonplace things and
made them holy. Most memorials
are evidence of striving after the I'M
common as the worthy the tomb
upon the mountain-top, the obelisk,
the pyramid, the vast building or the
great institution. Not least of the
lesser lessons taught by that simple
meal is the worth of common things.
There is no meal but may be made an
hour of thanksgiving, no honest toll
that cannot become worship, no
smallest deed to which highest mo-
tives may not add glory. The Lords
Supper gains its glory from its refer
ence to Christ; why not do all to
the glory of God?"-Paciic Baptist.

KILLED IN CANADIAN WRECK
Crowded Excursion Train Left
Track at Caledon, Ontario.
Engine and Five Cars Thrown Into a
Ditch-Six Passengers Perish
and Many Are Injured.

Orangeville, Ontario. = Five pas
senger cars of a special Canadian Pa
cific passenger train from Markdale
to Toronto were wrecked and hurled
into a ditch near Caledon. Six per-
sons are dead and a large number OF
others are seriously injured. The
train, which was heavily loaded, left
Owen Sound about 8 o'clock, and
when it reached Orangeville was one
hour behind its schedule.
From Orangeville there is a pro-
nounced down grade for some dis
lance. The locomotive left the track.
Five of the V cars followed. The
engine driver, Mack Grims, of Tees
water, formerly of Orangeville, was
shot through the window of his en-
CINE cab. He escaped almost unhurt,
and not a train hand was killed.
All the six men who were killed
were riding in the smoking car, next
to the locomotive. Word of the ca
tastrophe was sent to Orangeville and
a train was sent out bearing all the
doctors of the town and the necessary
medical supplies.
Caledon, the scene of the wreck, is
forty-two miles northwest of Toron-
to, and is directly on the line of the
Canadian Pacific running to Owen
Sound. 1t is in Peel County, in the
township of Caledon, seven miles by
