Public Peuanee.

In former times persons guilty Of
grievOus and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and,
further, to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly In white sheet
IN their parish church. The sheet was
used to show clearly to every one
which was the offender. The last time
that public penance was done in an
English church was on Sunday even
ing. July 30. 1882, when q man named
Hartree. in the church Of All Saints,
East Clevedon, made an open confes-
sion Of immortality and promised to
perform the penance thus imposed ON
him by the vicar. No white sheet was
used on this occasion. The last case In
which one was used appears to have
been one In st. Bridget's church, Ches-
ter, In 1851. but on that occasion the
penance was not public. the church
door being locked. In the previous
year however, public penance In q
white sheet was done in country
church in Essex, and similar thing
occurred in Ditton church. near Cam
bridge. In 1S49.-Stray Stories.

The Stone of Infamy.

In many Italian cities there formerly
existed what was called ''pietra dim
fannie" Or stone Of infamy for the
punishment OF bankrupts. In Venice
one stands near the Church Of St.
Mark, and in Verona and Florence
they are near the old markets. On a
day in carnival week the old time Gus
tom was to have all traders who had
become bankrupt in the preceding
twelve months led to the stone, and
one by one each stood on it's center to
hear the reading of a report of his bust
ness failure and to endure the re-
proaches heaped on him by his credi-
tors At the end of certain time each
bankrupt was partly undressed, and
three officers took hold of his shoulders
and three others of his knees and,
raising him as high as they could,
bumped him on the stone deliberately

CURRENCY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Vreeland Measure, Agreed Upon
BY Caucus, Adopted by Vote
Of l84 to las.
Majority Of Democratic Members Re.
fuse to Go on Record In Favor Of
Williams BilI-FIfteen Repub-
iieans Vote With Democrats.

Washington.--The Vreeland cur
rency bill, agreed upon by the Re-
publican caucus, was put through the
house, on Thursday, under a special
rule by vote Of 1874 to las. Fifteen
so-calied insurgents of the majority
voted with the Democrats, who went
on record solidly against the measure.
The closing moments Of the debate
were replete with excitement and Re-
publican enthusiasm caused by the
refusal Of the great majority OF the
Democrats to go on record for the
williams bill, which had been offered
by Mr.. Kahn of California as a sub
stitute for the Vreeland bill. In &C
cordance with we'll laid plan Of the
majority leaders to ascertain where
the Democrats stood on the PROPOSE
ton which, 1t was claimed by several,
was supported by Mr.. Bryan.
As soon as the bill reaches the SEN
ate Mr.. Aldrich will call a meeting OF
the committee on finance to consider
It. II is expected that the committee
will vote unanimously to amend the
house measure by striking out all
after the enacting clause and insert
ing the provisions OF the bill which
was passed by the senate.
Il Is not doubted that the senate
will approve the action OF the com
mittee. The effect of this course
would be to send both the Vreelanc
and Aldrich bills to conference.

GOVERNORS AND PRESIDENT
CONFER AT WHITE HOUSE
Discuss Best Methods Of Conserving

United States.

Washington.-Two IDEAS, destined

of the three days conference at the
White House on Wednesday, in which
President Roosevelt, the governors OF
forty.four states, cabinet officers, su-
preme court judges. senators, repre-
sentatives and experts are participat-
ing in efforts TO reach conclusions on
the best methods OF conserving the
natural resources OF the United
States.
The first is that permanent or
ganization by the states and the ma
ton is necessary and will likely re-
suit from the present conference, to
accomplish the end sought. The sec.
ond-suggested by Secretary Root
is that there Is no Limitation by the
constitution TO the agreements which
may be made between the states, sub
ject to the approval OF congress. The
two ideas, fully developed, 1t 10 pre-
dicted, would result in the conserva
ton OF the energies and resources Of
the nation through uniform and un
conflicting laws, both national and
state.

Chicago.-Delegates from fifty COM

means Of preventing eastern railroads
from carrying into effect proposed
increase in freight rates.
A break in the programme was &C.

ance of w. c. Brown, vice-president
of the New York Central lines, who
admitted that the railroads intended
t. make a moderate increase In
freight rates, but said the action was
absolutely necessary. Mr.. Brown
said:
IF the business interests OF the ma
ton shall, after mature considera-
ton, say that railroad rates shall not
be advanced doubt II 1t can be
done: but 1t should be understood
clearly, definitely and beyond all
question Of doubt that in saying this
they say just as clearly and definitely
that the wages Of the great army OF
10000 railroad employees shall be
reduced, and they must accept their
full measure of responsibility for the
results"
