One of the important questions ol
these modern days among the Pro-
testant clergy and layman, is, why
the masses do not 90 to church.
Handsome edifices, fine music and
eloquent preaching in many cases fan
to bring out satisfactory results in at
tendance, and discussion is rife as to
the reasons. Many theories have
been advanced; among them that we
are suffering areaction from he Puri-
tan Sabbath, or that immigration has
set the fashion Of Continental Sun
day, even in New England. 1t seems
TO us that the church is some whit to
blame for its present seeming lack
Of popularity. In its efforts to be-
come popular il has over shot the
mark. In other words it has sacri-
feed the religious side to the social
side. 1t is over organized and It's
multitude Of societies and clubs have
made a barrier between the church
and the masses. 1t is impossible
for all classes of people to meet on
an easy and harmonious social foot
ing, and the poorer cla ses cannot be
reached by the church at all. They
are left Tor the Salvation Army and
similar organizations. 1t is well
known fact that many people will
attend a religious service IN a public
hall, who cannot be induced to enter
a church. This proves that some
thing must be wrong. The Catho'
lie Church, which has not cultivated
the social side to the same extent as
the Protestant, is not suffering seri-
ously IN a lack of attendance.

The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the heart or kidneys is all wrong pr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription--Dr. Shops Restorative IS directed entirely to the cause of these ailments-the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn't so difficult, says pr. Shoop, to strengthen weak stomach, heart or kidneys, if one goes at it cor reotly. Each inside organ has it's con- trolling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail then those organs must sure y falter. These vita truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend pr. Shoop's Restorative.

Postage Stamp Gum.

Every time person licks a United States postage stamp he gets taste of sweet pototo The gum with which the stamps are backed is made from that succulent vegetable because Uncle Sans lieutenants consider it the most harmless preparation of the sort. All of the gum used on American postage stamps is mixed by the government at the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. where the stamps are made. It is spread on sheets after the stamps have been printed. The gum, in a liquid form. is forced up through pipes from the basement, where it is made. These pipes lead to se- ries of machines consisting of roll CTS. between which the sheets of stamps are fed. one at time. A continuous stream of the liquid gum falls upon one of these rollers. The sheet with it's wet coating of sweet potato muoilage passes from the rollers into long horizonical flue filled with hot air When it emerges at the other end of the Hue the gum is dry.

At the Gayety.

The chorus is very much in evidence in Phil Sheridans ''City Sports" which be- gan a weeks engagement at the Gayety yesterday. It is full of life and things went with snap, while the singing is much superior to the average companies that have appeared at the Gayety this season. The cast included number of last years favorites, whose appearance was greeted by warm applause.
 "The Mikado's Harem and "All in One Night or Terrible Mix-Up," were the titles of the two burlettas, while the olio of vaudeville between them was pleasing 'sThe Five Salvages,' Parisian whrling dancers, and the Premier Musical Bell Ballet being especially good. Anna Chandler in limitations, John Barret in Irish songs, "One Trio' Humphreys, Keeler and Linden, Barry Thompson and Anna Carter in My Wifes Brother Will lie,'' were also pleasing.
 While the entire company is good, es- pecial mention should be made of Annie Sinnett, whose livelness and evident de- sire to please, made her many friends
 The music of the production is very catchy and is sung with spirit. Harry Keeer, with the trio, displayed meo- dous voice, as did Anna Chandler. Miss Chandler's limitations of prominent artists were especially good.
 This company made quite a hit here last year and while this years production is very good, 1t can hardly be said to be as good as last season.

RELATIONS UNCHANGED. Official Statement Is Made by German
 Foreign Office.

Berlin, March 9.-"The relations be- tween Germany and Great Britain are absolutely undisturbed in consequence of the Tweedmouth affair"
 This was the assurance given the As sociated Press at the German foreign office this afternoon and the statement is borne out by dispatches sent by Count Metternich, German ambassa- dor to Great Britain, to Chancellor Won Buelow and by other messages from Sir Frederick Lascalles, the British ambassador at Berlin to the foreign office at London. These contained sim liar declarations.
 A prominent German official asserted the opinion today that the agitation, which Is one sided. would soon cease ant if Emperor Williams letter was made public the London Times would be the only sufferer. The desire of the Times. this official continued, was first to obtain notoriety; second, to bring about the downfall of the liberal gov ernment, and third, to embarrass Ger many. but even the opposition party Tn England did not support the Times method of agitation.

WILLIAMS BILL Is
 ID BE SUPPORTED Minority Members of Commit
 tee Agree on Report FOWLER BILL CONDEMNED Report of Committee Sets Forth Good Qualities of the Williams Meas

 Banking Business.
FOWLER BILL CONDEMNED

Washington, March 9.-The democratic members of the House committee on banking and currency today agreed to re- port to the House the minority currency bill introduced by John Sharp Williams as substitute for the Fowler bill.
 In the course of their report the minor ity say:
 We oppose the bill because it virtually takes from the government power to reg ulate and safeguard the national banks of the country and wholly gives over the control of such institutions to board Of managers which is selected by the banks themselves
 The minority also takes exception to the provisions of the bill requiring the re- trement of greenbacks complains that 1t makes banks the agents of the govern ment for the transaction of all its busi- ness and urges the inadequacy of the in- terest charge. It is also charged that under the action of the supposed law all state banks and savings and trust com panies would inevitably be driven out of business.
 With the banks all organized under one system, enjoying sole and complete power to issue all moneys as they deem proper, will there not be great danger either from contraction or imitation of the amount of money in circulation?' they ask
 will it not be in the absolute power of these banks, or their board managers, to make money scarce or to make it plentiful; to make the rate of interest high or make it cheap; to cause de- pression or to make relaxation? Surely Congress is being asked to delegate to the banks most dangerous and wonder ful power in giving them absolute con- trol of the medium of all values, money, and in comforting on them sole power to issue money in such quantities as they think wise. Minority members of the committee say emphatically that this country is not ready to delegate such dangerous power. Without doubt the most serious proposition with which Congress has had to deal in many years Is regula- tion and control of the great corpora tions that have grown overpowerful and beyond the control of the government Yet while we are planning ways whereby we may wisely and justly subject these great interests to government regulations we are asked by the Fowler bill 10 create a banking system all powerful. with complete and undisputed authority to issue the circulating medium of the country in quantity, in manner and at times to please those fortunate enough to enjoy this great special privilege"
 The minority concludes by urging the acceptance of the Williams bill as sub stitute for the Fowler bill. Of the Wilt jams bill they say in part:
 "rhe minority members of the commit tee commend the bill herewith presented as being practical, conservative and safa and believe it comes nearer to adjusting the financial situation than any other measure submitted"
