How the Men Were Won.

Rev. F. 3. Meyer recently told Lon
don audience how he managed to get
vorkingmen into his church. When he
held the first meeting in his church for
workingmen he said: Men. we won't call
one another brethren, but we will call
each other brother" The next day, as
Mr.. Meyer was going through one Of the
siums, a scavenger shouted, off his cart,
Good morning, Brother Meyer" And
then the preacher knew that he was the
king of the situation. He replied. Good
morning. brother" Then the scavenger
got down from his cart and came up to
him. when Mr.. Meyer took Ais hand. But

Remarkable Decrease in Crime.

When we turn to England we find, on
the contrary, a remarkable decrease in
crime. In the four years from 1859 to
1852 the number of criminals per 100000
of the population were 81, so, II, 63, re-
spectively. Crime, that is 20 say. has in the
last half century steadily decreased in
England and Wales from 81 per 100000
to :,3 per 100000. And during that same
period it has increased in those countries
which have eliminated religious instruc
ton from their public schools.
The only satisfactory reason that can be
given for England's enviable position in
this matter of the decrease of crime is
the character of the religious instruction
given to the children in her schools, and
these are the schools which owe their
origin TO and are still SO largely support
ed ana maintained by members of the
Church of England The Bishop of Lon
don, therefore, has good grounds for OPP
posing the abolition of what has been so
conspicuous benefit to the common
people of England.
We have made this comparison from
conditions during the last fifty years be-
cause it was in this period that Germany
began TO eliminate religious instruction
from its schools and that France fol-
lowed suit. Both of them in imitation of
the United States of America which, | be-
lieve, is the first nation in the world to
have eliminated religion in the training
of its children. 1t is striking that in this
period crime has increased in these cOun-
tries, but has decreased in England
where the religious instruction was re-

Bishop of London to the liberal edu-
cation bill was because of it's elimina-
ton of religious instruction from the
schools. 1t is striking fact that those
countries which have eliminated reiig-
ious instruction from their public
schools have been countries in which
Juvenile crime has increased. The chief
educa tional popularity of England,
compared with other countries, is that
up to very recent date the educa-
ton of the children in England was
inspired and controlled by religious
boIies, chiefly by the Church of Eng
land. A comparison with other coun-
tries is interesting.
In Germany there has been of late
public schools. Contemporary with this
elimination of religious instruction DIR.
j. NJ. Wilson, Canon of Worcester, tells
us that between 1888 and 1892, for in
stance, the convictions in courts of first
instance per 10000 inhabitants rose IL
per cent. but the increase of juvenile
crime between the ages of twelve and
eighteen in this same period was 81 per
cent.
In France, where there is little or no
religious instruction in the public schools,
the convictions of young people between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, in
1880, was 24,757; in 1892, it was 81, 40,
about :S 1-3 per cent
In the United States, very cursory
examination will show continuous and
steady increase in Juvenile crime, the re-
ports of the police courts of Denver
and Chicago being instances. 1t Is the
increase of juvenile crime which has call
ed into existence that admirable institu-
ton, the juvenile court.
During the Boer war the British lost

there fell by homicide in the United
States 81 800.

NEWARKER HURT
At PATERSON IN
SILK MILL FIGHT
Frank w. Smith Attacked by
Sympathizers at Doherty
& WadswOrth Shop.

PATERSON, April 2.-While employed
in guarding property and st~rike-break-
ers at the Doherty & Wadsworth silk
mill, at Beach and Essex streets, last
night, Frank w. Smith, who lives at 100
Orange street, Newark. was attacked
by a crowd of strike sy~mpathizers and
before he was rescued by the police was
so badly injured that it was necessary
to take him to the General Hospital,
suffering from severe cuts n bruises.
Smith was detailed by a Newark de-
tective agency to assist in protecting
the firms property during the unsettled
conditions following a strike of about
forty weavers two weeks ago.. Last
night he decided to go to his home in
Newark and spend the weekend.
He left the mill a little before 8
o'clock, accompanied by the superinten-
dent. They noticed that a crowd had
gathered in the neighborhood, but
thought nothing of the incident, as the
strikers and their friends were in the
habit of congregating in the vicinity Of
the mill, but had always been orderly.
AS soon as Smith had separated from
the superintendent and started for the
station alone the crowd made for him..
and before he could defend himself he
was knocked down and showered with
stones and sticks. The crowd continued
to beat and kick him until some pas
sersby ran to his assistance and sue
ceeded in getting him to a flrehpuse a
short distance away. He remained
there until an ambulance arrived and
he was driven to the hospital.
After having his numerous wounds
dressed Smith insisted upon going to
his home, although the doctors advised
him against it. The police patrol wagon
took him to the Erie station. where he
was placed aboard the 9:12 train for
Newark.
Although there Nave been a number
of men guarding the firms property,
Smith is the first one to be attacked.

Witness Tells Committee OF AL
legged Offer to John W. Dud-
ley from Publication.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The ac-
former Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot
was brought forcibly to the attention
of the Ballinger-Pinchot congressional
committee today when H. X. Love
testified that John w. Dudley, former
register of the land Office at Juneau,
Alaska, told him last February in
Juneau that Golfers had intimated to
him that 'it would be worth from $4,000
to $40, 900 to him to go to Washington
to testify"
Although Mr.. Love told the commit
tee that he had not previously mem
toned the conversation to anybody,
because he feared Dudley might have
misconstrued What Golfers agent had
said to him. the committee was unani-
nous in the opinion that the incident
was of such importance to have Dudley
come here from Alaska to tell about it.
A subpoena will be issued for him at
once.

trying to bribe Dudley to testify" in
quired Representative Madison, the
'insurgent'' member of the committee.
mo, merely understood they wanted
him to come here to tell the truth, :
answered the witness, explaining that
Dudley had been .let OUT as register
of the land Office and that he had
declared his intention of going to
Washington to clear his record. he
said Dudley had told him he wanted
to go to Washington to testify for the
"other side" meaning for Ballinger,
and he had asked Love to convey that
information to the secretary. Love
said he did not comply with this re-
quest.
Attorney Brandeis concluded his
cross-examination of Mr.. Love and AZ
torney Vertrees called Frank /. Spaid-
ing, former disbursing officer In
Clavis's office at Seattle, by whom he
tried to show that CLAWS had made ali
effort to get him to cut out a $50 item
for typewriting done in Chicago on a
report to the President of Glavis's eX-
pense account on his trip East to Bev-
erly last summer. Spalding said CLAWS
had asked him to cut it out and make
1t appear as an error in addition.
The sprightly row in the committee
yesterday morning served to increase
the demand for seating room at the

ing and the largest crowd since the
days of the CLAWS, Pinchot and Garfield

Judge Hahn OF the First Precinct
Police Court, this morning ave per-
mission to the managers of the Babies
Hospital to return to Mrs. Mary Sokan,
of 90 Prince street, her S-~month-old
child which was delivered to that in
stitution last night by the police of
the First Precinct to be held until re-
leased by the judge. The child vas
taken from its mother yesterday after
noon following her appearance at the
police station in search of her husband,
who had been arrested for not sending
their ~7-year-old son John to school.
Unable to understand why her hus-
band should be arrested, Mrs. Sokan
went into Mysteries. and rushed to the
street. and, talking wildly in Slavic,
threw her babe-in-arms into the gut
ter. Bystanders, who were witnesses
of the act summoned the police and
the child was takenslo the Babies Hos
pital, where it was found to be unin-
jured.
When the mother saw her child in
the hands of the police she again
failed to understand, and for fear that
her son John would also be taken she
picked him up and hurried home.
When seen this morning at her
home Mrs. Sokan denied that she had
thrown the child to the street, saying
that she loved her baby and God
would strike her dead II she did such
a thing. When asked why the child
was taken by the police she said it
was because she was sick and could
not nourish it properly.
The case was discharged this morn
ms on the promise that the father,
George Sokan, would see that his son
attended school.
Mrs. Sokan has been the mother OF
ten children. four of whom are living.
