London, Jany. 1Ztb.-There is an iucreas-
ing confidence among the UnjouiFts, and the
enormous general enthusiasm is Indicative
of a tremendous pol, particularly from a class
of electors seldom counted and therefore an
unknown quantity. There is very little novelty
in the last hour speeches. Mr.. Asqaith at Fps
wich commended that the prosperity Of the
United States was due to internal free trade
and of Germany to education and organiza-
ton, neither of them to protection. Nh. Balfour
at Glasgow discussed the alleged omissions
Of Mr.. Asquith's address to his constituents.
Mr.. Lloyd George has elected an apology
from Lord Rotchschild for the wrongful
attribution to him of a declaration that
England might eXpatriate the Jews. One
speaker quoted the late President Mckinley
as saying that if he were an Englishman he
would be for free trade.
The Earl Of CreWe, in a letter, encourages
the hope of an imperial grant in aid Of cot
ton culture for a term Of years.
Mr.. Churchill, speaking at bennington, ar
gued that the improvement in trade proves
protectionism is unnecessary and hazardous.
The Indifference of the Liberals towards
Home Rule matches the growing indiffer-
ence of the Unionists towards Social Reforms.
The free traders exploit the German consump-
tion of black bread as exemplifying the diff
Guilty Of diet among protectionists; thereupon
the tariff reformers procured a statement
from a baker supplying royalty, in which he
declares he purveys pumpernickel for the
King and Queen exactly as he supplies other
customers, except merely the size of the
loaves.

THE LADIES ASSOCIATION OF
FREDERIKSTED.

1t has been a very encouraging New Year
lecture to look through the accounts Of this
association. 1t proves that something may be
done also in st. Croix.
The Ladies have had an income of S518.05
last year. OF that amount $145.72 was cash
balance from 1908, and $500. 80 collected in
1909 and Interest $685..
They have bought provisions for the poor
for S366.71 and have o Cash balance to carry
over to 1910 Of S151.34.
But besides that amount Of money collect
ed they have received a good many gifts OF
provisions and so on, viz from Messrs.
Captain BIackwood, Holm, Hoyer, Jean Pc
tersen, The Plantation Company, A. Golden,
G. Lawaetz, L.. II. Golden and FROM Mrs.
Hagemann.
The managing Committee has distributed
in all, last year, 26G0 shares OF provisions to
the poor of all the churches existing here.
Namely to
The Roman Cath lie Church. 862 shares.
The Episcopal Church ........ S23 shares.
The Moravian Church. ....... $50 shares.
The Lutheran Church ....... 566 shares.
Christian Mission ........... ~ shares.
And this distribution is done under proper
control, SO that no one will get anything ex-
Cept he has q paper of legitimatlon from his
church that he Is unable to work or TO sup
port himself And besides this control from the
church the Ladies try themselves to examine
dubious cases, to be sure not to be taken ad-
vantage Of.
This way Of doing charity is then extreme
ly practical and thoroughly humane. Because
the help will come just to those that need it
the old and sick-and to nobody else.
The president of the association, Mrs. Kofced,
being absentfrom the island, Nrs.Judge Olsen
has acted both as president and treasurer, the
other members Of the Committee being Mrs.
Bjerg, Mrs. Higgins, Miss H. Golden, Mrs.
King and Miss J. Sivertsen.
What this work of charity means to the
poor may be understood when it is known
that each Of the 1850 shares of provisions
means food for two days at least for one per
son. SO this association has, last year, pro
yided food to the poor for 5720 days.

some thanks to the Ladies of the Committee
and the Association in the whole; for the

MISSIONARIES
NEEO TEACHING,
SAYS COMMISSION
Report Read at Edinburgh Con-
ference Gives Advice to Those
Going Among Heatfens.

EDINBURGH, June 1S.-The Inter
national Missionary Conference listened
today to the report of the commission
on THE Missionary Message in Rela-
ton to Non-C Christian Religions" which
was presented by Professor D.. s.
Cairns, d. D., professor of systematic
theology and apologetics in the United
Free Church College at Aberdeen.
DR.. Cairns, in the course of his re-
port, said:
1.-THE thing which Is necessary Is that
before man goes out to the field he can
and he should learn a standpoint and a
method and such a knowledge of the
inner nature of the religion as will keep
him at the outset from calamitous mis-
takes. Adequate training in the home
colleges will greatly facilitate the ac-
QUESTION Of that deeper knowledge
which may form the basis on which
the other kind of knowledge may be
reared.
1.-THE conclusion is surely inevitable
that provision should be made for thor
ough teaching in Comparative Religion
in all our colleges and training insti-
tutes. A new instrument of spiritual
culture and propaganda has been put
into the hands of the church by the
of this science, and 1t Is
surely a plain duty to use 1t.
1.-The ordinary training in homiletics
seems hardly sufficient for the peculiar
conditions under which the missionary
must labor. The teaching function Is
different from that of moving an au-
dience which has already been in
structed in the elements of Christian
truth.
"a further Incidental result may well
be that a larger number of Il stu
dents may be expected to volunteer for
foreign work when the subject Is thus
brought before them through the me-
dunn of Comparative Religion.
1--WE submit further that there is ur-
gent need for special work in the for
eign field on the lines which have been
Indicated in our inquiry. The living
forces OF the non-C Christian religion In
each Held ought to be measured n set
in clear relation to the living forces or
the Christian Gospel, and the points OF
contact and contrast brought out IN
clear relief. When q missionary shows
special aptitude for this kind or work
he should be set apart to do 1t.
1--WE further suggest that missionary
conferences such as that with Wnlcn
our commission Is connected should
pursue the lines of inquiry which have
here been opened up, and should there
by call into the service the great ma
jority Of missionaries who have no
time for the special work which we
have indicated above, but who are
oualified for II, alike by aptitude AND
the education of circumstances.
IF the correspondence which we v
received from the five great fields could
be made accessible to students In the
fulness of its detail. its color and vi
tality we believe that it's value would
be universally recognized"

Unless municipal clerks and other
officials charged with the duty Of issu-
ing a license, without which no mar
riage may be legally contracted in this
State after July 1 next, ignore the in
depreciation placed upon the law by
Assistant Acknowledgement Nelson b.
Gaskill. there will be no further mar
riages in this State unless Mr.. Gaskll
reverses himself or the court inter-
venes.
That is the opinion Of City Clerk
James F. Connolly, who says the Gas
kell opinion, as received by the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics, has pro-
duced a state Of chaos from which
there is no immediate relief unless the
opinion is ignored.
There is absolutely nothing in the
law as approved by the last session OF
the Legislature to warrant the opinion
of Mr.. Gaskill or the erratic instruc-

LITTLE BOY w

Mother Fights to Leap Into Canal
After Son.

TRENTON, June 1s.-Julius Horo-
WITT, 10 years old. was drowned in the
water-power canal last night while en-
deavoring to save his cap. Several
boys : were playing along the bank
OF the canal when one of them grabbed
Horowitz's cap and threw 1t into the
water.

cried the boy as he mournfully
watched the cap floating down stream
Gee, II It was mine I'd get It." said

Although he could not swim, Horo-
WITT jumped into the stream. With q
cry the boy sank from sight, and his
body did not reappear. Just as the
boy Jumped into the stream his
mother, who was standing at a window
in her home nearby. saw him. She
rushed TO the waterfront, and 1t took
strong men to keep her from jumping
into the water. She insisted on going
out in q boat with the coroner and a
party Of men who had grappling-irons,
and carried the body in her arms to
her house after the body was recov-
cred, an hour later.

marriage with John Jones or Sarah
Brown, as the case nay be?'
who in the name of all that stands
for sanity and r~ationalism can hoh-
estly swear how long such a condiA
ton existed except one or another Of
the contracting parties?
I'm answering at his Interpretation
Mr.. -Gaskill says he is guided by an
opinion of the late Attorney-General
Grey In answer to the State registrar
concerning q similar section in the
law Of 1897. But even Mr.. Gaskill evi-
IDENTIFY failed to carefully read the
Grey opinion.
HAD he lone SO he would find Mr..
Grey saying in part-in the form of an
affidavit to be made by the partner In
interest In reference to those matters
of which they have exclusive knowl-
edge. That, Of course, would cover
how long either party had contem-
plated their pending matrimonial VEN
ture. Mr.. Gaskill wants a disinterested
person to answer the query. Just think
Of such q proposition.
Our law Is identical with the New
York law. Over there the tquestions
asked are directed to the contracting
parties alone. The absurd theory Of
having a disinterested party make a
sworn statement to questions Of which
he or she can have no actual knowl-
edge is beyond the comprehension Of
any reasonable mind. Yet the State
Bureau of Statistics advised by Mr..
Gaskill says no license shall issue I'M
less all questions In answered.
"1nasmuch as a penalty of 800 is
provided for, any violation of the act
in this respect it is quite probable no
license will issue until this stupid blum
der is rectified. Should the question be
ignored and a license ISSUED and mar
riage performed, the State Board might
say the marriage was void nj that
would be embarrassing for the con-
tracing parties.
Unless the blunder is remedied at
once" said Colonel Connolly in con-
clusion. there "a be serious trouble
after July l."
