r ELIGIO OU S
Protestant Church Union.

The Evangelical general conference
at its recent session at Milwaukee took
decisive step toward the union of
the Evangelical church and the United
Evangelical church, adopting the re-
port of the committee on revision,
which recommended the appointment
of commission from each church to
arrange details of the union. 1t was
also decided to open negotiations with
other Protestant churches, including
the Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists
and Congregationalists, with view to
a federation on all lines Of church
work into which denominational differ
ences do not enter.
Nc Successor to Mrs. Eddy.
Alfred Farlow, the official spokesman
for the Christian Science denomina-
ton, has issued the following state
ment in reply to the rumors regarding
successor to Mrs. Eddy: Mrs. Eddy,
founder Of the faith and today in su-
preme control of the Christian Science
church, will have no successor. Nei-
ther Mrs. Augusta Stetson, the leader
of the New York church, nor the Lady
Dunmore, who has been prominently
mentioned, will ever fill the position
occupied today by Mrs. Eddy. With
the death of the aged leader the Chris
tian Science church will have no SIN
gle personal leader. The business Of
the organization will undoubtedly be
considered by a board Of directors,
while the memory Of the founder and
discoyerer will remain the only name
ever connected with the faith

Attacking the Supreme Court.
Added emphasis is lent to the recent
deliverance of Chief Justice Clark Of
North Carolina in an article in the
Arena, denying the authority of the
supreme court to nullify acts Of con-
gress. by striking paper in the cur

history Of civilization in Columbia uni

to show that the people of the United

neither the Mayfower compact nor the
Declaration Of Independence, neither
the federal constitution nor the Gettys-

AN Absolutely Reliable Re-

This commission should be empow-
cred to deal with the whole subject Of
business and labor combinations and
report such plans for the formation
and regulation of corporations 'as
shall preserve individual initiative
competition and the free exercise Of
a free contract in all business and in
dustrial relations"
In connection with this law the
Civic federation urges that legislation
should modify the prohibition now ex
listing against organizations of labor
associations Of farmers and combina-
lions of capitalists whose business is
In the public interest. The proposed
commission should make a thorough
inquiry into the system of federal
| license for incorporation of interstate
| concerns. The inspection and super
vision of great producing corpora
tions should be enlarged and extended,
and complete publicity in the capitali-
| zation and operation of all such cor
porations large enough to have a
monopolistic influence should be re-
quired. No expression was thought
fitting on the conflicts between state
and federal authority pending the final
decision of the supreme court on this
subject. .r~.-
Hotel Home Of the Wealthy.
Already more than one-half of the
300 living rooms in the new Plaza ho-
tel, which was recently completed at
the corner Of Fifty-ninth street and
Fifth avenue, New York city, at the
cost Of $12,50O,0OO, have been taken
in the form Of suits as permanent
homes for millionaire families under
yearly contracts. The rentals of these
tenants vary from $4,000 to $4,000
year The suits include parior, din
ing room, library and varying number
of bedrooms, all opening upon a pri-
vate hall, which in turn connects with
public hotel corridor. This insures
privacy and a sense Of family unity to
each set Of rooms. Warming and re-
frigerating apparatus in the private
pantry Is connected by chutes and
4
basement so as to give dining serv-
ice the advantage of a perfectly equip
ped hotel plan, but In the privacy of
an individual home. Names prominent
among those who have taken suits
here are the Goulds, Gateses and Van
derbilts. Single rooms may be rented
for 81 day and double rooms with
bath for Sc day. The hotel will be
fully occupied when it houses 600 peo-
pie because so many rooms are used
as parlors and dining rooms.

lease Of DR.. Gillette on bail pending
a decision by the higher courts. Coun-
sci for the defendant told the judge
that he believed sentence to prison

Nevertheless District Attorney Jerome
said this could not weigh with the
court. inasmuch as 1t was involved in
what the man had brought upon him
self by his acts, which could not in the
interest Of justice be overlooked. Gil
lette's counsel contended that if his

Pleading for reduced fees for tuition,
President Schurman says that if the
republic is to remain a democracy
there must be IAN education ladder ex-
tending from the gutter to the COM
mencement stage which may be as
cended by the talented, studious and
dnigent children Of the poor as well
as by those of the well to do and
rich.'' He declares that every ad-
vance in fees tends to exclude a GER
tain portion Of our population from
the benefits Of higher education and
to create an aristocracy of wealth in
combination with an aristocracy Of
talent
A new scheme is also proposed for
housing students at Cornell. 1t Is to
have the university acquire several
houses accommodating from forty to
thirty students each. These would
have common room for social inter-
course and would be rented to con-
genial groups. They would have al
the advantages Of dormitories on the
Harvard plan with the social features
which make fraternity lodges pleasant
This plan has already been operated
for women students in Sage college
and by alumnae associations.
Japanese Ethics For Chicago.
President Schneider Of the Chicago

A copy Of this rescript, which recently
has been translated, shows 1t to be

thirty years ago by the emperor OF
Japan. 1t includes such injunctions
as devotion to parents and family.

spect for law and loyalty to the state.
Trial of the Group System.
Superintendent Maxwell of New
York has urged principals to give the
group system of teaching and grading
trial. The general principle is to
so arrange the progress of pupils that
each may have individual attention.
Glasses are separated into divisions,
and definite times are fixed for study.
This allows bright pupils to do more
advanced work by going from one
division to another as fast as they
are able.

The cash balance in the treasury has
been reduced to about $17,000,0O0 by
the distribution of funds among ma
tionaI banks during the recent crisis,

Change In Homestead Regulations.
An important change in the regula-
tions for acquiring homesteads on the

ton against fraud all persons making

or ghost of the departed individual.
NJ Sir Oliver says that nobody knows
what the soul is. but that common
sense rebels against its being nothing
and that no genuine science had as
sumed to declare it a purely imaginary
nonentity. He holds it must be ac-
knowledged by science that no really

form. AS this has been shown clearly
I'm the case Of matter and energy It
must also be true Of mind. conscious
ness, will, memory, love and other ac

appeal to the bodily senses. These
facts of the individual human con-
sciousness, he says, cannot be regarded
as nothing. and they will never vanish
into nothingness. They did arise with
us. They never sprang suddenly into
being from previous nonexistence
They are as eternal as the Godhead
itself and will in eternal being endure
forever.
New Race at the North.
Curator Gordon of the University of
Pennsylvania archaeological depart

Alaska, brings word of a new race
which he discovered on the hitherto
unexplored Koskokwin river. He says
these people now number only about
400 and are unlike either Eskimos
or Athabascans. They show strong
traces of Asiatic ancestry. They had
never seen white man before, and
crime is unknown among them. They
have no laws, being governed by
priests who are patriarchs. They are
all intelligent, and their religion Is
nature worship of high order. In
stead Of dressing in skins they use
the breasts Of looms. F ....... ...

Warship Crew Mutinies.

The crew of the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Skory mutinied Oct 30 and,
after overpowering their officers and
killing their commander and slipping
the cable in their anchorage at Vladi-
vostok, steamed out into the harbor and
opened murderous fire upon the city.
This fire was returned by the forts
and the other warships lying in the
harbor. Much damage was done In
the city, and many lives were destroy
ed, but finally the Skory became so
crippled by the tremendous fire direct
ed upon her that she was beached by
her crew, most of whom were killed
and the others captured. This outbreak
followed the mutiny of battalion of
army sappers, which on the previous
day had attacked and almost captured
one Of the barracks of the city, being
suppressed only after considerable loss
