Rev. III. Allen Upper of the Fifteenth
Street Baptist church in Brooklyn an
nounced to his congregation last Sunday
that henceforth, with the help of God. he
would never preach the gospel for COM

prospered under his charge and he has a

will be added to the new church fund.
The text of the recent syllabus pro-
mulgated recently by Pope Plus, which
has now reached America and been pab-
lished in the Catholic papers. defines as
heresies sixty-five doctrines. mainly those
held by liberal men within the church
in Europe. The Literary Digest says that
among the American Catholic journals
acquiescence is general. Its reception
in France and Germany is far less cor
dial, though there is no open revolt
among the clergy. One important French
weekly, the Lyons Domain, has suspend
ed rather than take the responsibility of
attacking the decree. Its editors say
that the task of reconciling religion and
science within the church has been made
impossible by these prohibitions against
all the railroads.&c. methods of the higher
criticism.
The Evangelical general conference, at
its recent session at Milwaukee, took a
decisive step toward the union of the

UNCLE SAM A. CAPITALIST.
IS Shipbuilder Outranks All
Others in the United States.

The United States government main
tains niDe navy yards, representing a
capitalization of more than SG0,000,000
and employing nearly $4,000 men, in
Guiding officers. The total wages paid
in the navy yards of the government is
approximately $10,0OO,000 annually,
the cost of materials used oeins about
100000 annually and the value of
the products, depending upon the num-
Der of vessels built, runs well up into
the millions every year. In 1905 the
output of the government yards was
over Slx 100000.
AS a shipbulder the government out
ranks all other ship owners in the
United States. In 1904 the government
launched 10000 tons of battle ships
of more than 1000 tons burden each.
While only 81 per cent of all vessels
launched that year were the property
of the nation, these vessels constituted
81 per cent of the total tonnage
launched that year. These same YES

the value Of all vessels over five tons
launched. the contract value of the
government ships being S39.513.G0O.
Despite its own facilities for building
and repairing warships, only one gov
eminent yard has been used in recent
years for turning out a modern up-tO-
date battle ship.
All told. the government owns fif-
teen dry docks where vessels of the
navy undergo most of their repairs.
All but two of these are located on the
Atlantic coast. Another dock is being
completed on Puget sound, giving three
on the Pacific coast. In addition to
the naval dry docks there are thirty
eight in the United States owned by
private corporations or individuals. In
time of war the navy should find no
trouble in taking care Of its smaller
vessels, but the big battle ships would
have long distances to travel on either
coast, i'm event of injury. before finding
adequate docking facilities.

SUBSCRIBING CUPID.
Chicago Women Unionists Are in
Favor of a Marriage DoWrY.

4 capitalistic cupid, with love darts in
the fern of $500 dowries and working
girls as his targets, is the latest sugges-
ton as an antidote for race suicide. Cupid
is TO be an agent for labor unions if
these ideas are carried out. 1t was adj
vocated by eighty women workers belong
ing to unions, who assembled at Hull
House, in Chicago, a few days ago.
The gathering was one of the first
three, held simultaneously. in this coun-
try. Another was at New York and the
third at Boston. 1t was Miss S. p.
Breckenridge, assistant dean of women at
the University of Chicago, who suggested
the dowry idea.
I'VE believe in this plan." declared
Miss Breckenridge. 1T places the mar
riage question upon a serious basis.
Unions have their death and sick benefits
and a marriage benefit or dowry would be
in order. If woman unionist is going
to be married she must be taught it is a
serious undertaking, but, at the same
time, plan that is favored by the or
ganization to which she belongs.
The experience she acquires by being
a unionist and wage Garner will enable
her to spend money wisely after she is
married. She will also learn that when
her husband works and brings his wages
home to her she must also bear her share
of the burden 1t has been suggested here
that women workers who marry, some
times return to their old tasks. 1t would
appear to me that if matrimony is not a
gainful employment it ought to be-"
THE plan of giving a dowry to wom-
an when she marries is now in vogue
among English and German unions de-
clared Mrs. Raymond Robins. who acted
as chairman of the conference.
There were others present who thought
that a stipulated sum of 500 or $500
should be given to a woman wage Garner
when she becomes a matron by the labor
organization with which she has been
identified.
