CHURCH FAVORS
.SUFFRACAN BISHOP
House Of Bishops ReVerSeS
Earlier DeCiSiOn---Faith
Healing To Be Investigated
FAITH CURE MOTION
CAUSES STIR INCONVENTTON

CINCINNATI, Oct.s 13.-rThe House
OF Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Convention yesterday not only re-
versed its decision of a few days ago.
when 1t refused to pass an amend
ment to the constitution providing for
sutfragan bishops, but also passed a
resolution calling for a committee 10
investigate faith healing by means Of
prayer or suggestion.
The suffragan bishop question was
defeated by the House of Bishops last
week, after the House of Deputies had
adopted it. The vote at that time was
close. Yesterday it was brought up
again as special order Of business
and was adopted by the bishops, after
an interesting debate, by a vote of so
to 81. It required SO votes to carry the
measure. Owing 10 the fact that the
House OF Deputies has adopted the
amendment it now becomes a law.
The leading fight in favor of the
measure was put forward by Bishop
Greer, Of New York Bishop Dewitt,
Of Pennsylvania, was also a strong
advocate of the amendment It was
unoffcialy announced by the New
York and the Pennsylvania delega-
tlons that suffragan bishops for these
two States would be appointed soon.
falth-Cure Motion Causes Stir.
While this action is probably the
most important yet taken by the con
ventiOn, 1t did not create the stir
among the DELEGATES that was felt
when it was announced that the House
oi Bishops had passed a resolution
calling for a committee to investigate
unction to the sick or the sake Of
healing purposes rather than for spir-
itual needs.
This is the resolution that was de-
ieated in the House of Deputies on
| Tuesday by a non-concurrence OF or
| degs, the resolution being adopted by
tne clerical division. but defeated by
the laity
In all probability healing by prayer
will be brought up again in the House
Of Deputies and. should this house
decide to reverse its former action, a
committee will be appointed o-bring

SALARIES FOR WIVES
They Work Harder Without Pay Than
| Most Hired Servants
winifred Black. in the New York A

Winifred Black. in the New York Amer
lean.
Have you read the women's charter
the house of commons over in London
One of the main objects of the charter
is to provide salaries for the wives.
"A wife works harder than most hired
servants" say the people who are back
of the charter, land she ought to get
money for her work, just as other people
do"
What do you think of the idea?
I'm in favor of 1t myself, but 1 don't
see just how they are going to carry it
out do you?
There's the woman with six children
who does all her own work.
She gets up at five o'clock in the morn
ing, gets breakfast, sets the table, washes
the dishes, dresses the children for
school, sweeps and dusts and cleans up
generally. And then says to herself,
well, now, I'm ready for my days
work.
If one of the children is i'll she sits
up with it all night and carries it around
in her arms all day while she is doing
the homework. She mends little broth
er's trousers, sews the ruffle on sister s
petticoat, ties up the finger of the mid
dle-sized one. and runs out and catches
the baby by the dress just as he is going
to crawl into the cistern
She portions out the food, settles the
quarrels comforts the grieved, makes
doughnuts into a regiment of puffy little
soldiers, goes without any pie herself
so that big brother, who's working now
and making IS a week, may have two
pieces. He needs 1t, bless him, to grow
on. She's the comfort and the mainstay
of the whole family big and little, and
her husband could no more do without
her than he could live without breathing
ing
What salary are you going to pay her?
There's the woman who lives in a
boarding house No children for her,
thank you. Nothing to do all day but
manicure her nails and wash her hair
and think up mischief.
She can't even make her own clothes.
She won't even trim her own hat
Husband able to afford all this? Oh,
no. he isn't He doesn't make half as
much money as the man with the family,
whose wife does all the work. But the
wife's different That's all.
Who's going to decide on the difference
in salary?
If you ask me, think the woman with
the family draws her salary every day
she lives She draws it every time she
looks at the rosy, thriving brood, and
every time her husband puts his arm
around her and calls her blessed"
But she needs money, too. Money of
her own Not money doled out to her
by the best husband in the world. Her
own money to spend her own way, bless
her heart I'll hope she'll get 1t.

NJary,s Gold Watch

From the Osborn (Kansas.) Farmer.
Mary Shftless, the Oldest daughter OF
old Bill Shiftless, is getting to be
Young lady. Next year she will graduate
IL she has no bad luck. The other day
Old Bill called Mary to him and said:
Now, my girl, when you graduate am
going to buy you nice gold watch with
your name engraved on 1t. I have helped
YOU all could the past three years, but
times have been close and I couldn't do
all wanted to-" Mrs Shiftless said
nothing The fact is, Mary has been kept
In school by Mrs. Shiftless. The good
woman sewed at night and washed in the
dav time to get money to buy Mary's
books. She denied herself everything she
nossibly could in order to have Mary
look respectable For years Old Bill has
grumbled every time Mary had to have
new book. Bill has knocked on the
teachers and roared about the expense.
He claims the public school system Is
graft and that graduates amount to
nothing. He has often told Mrs Shiftless
she ought to keep Mary out OF school to
help her about the house. Bill Will never
Inv the watch. All he will do Will
he IN stand around and blow about what
a smart girl Mary is and how she would
have been a good deal ahead OF where
she is now if the teachers hadn't been
against her. ssA

sneak. He will not tell you the truth.
He will deceive you. And Jimmie is like
ly to become not only sneak, but
liar.
Also
If Jimmie is ashamed to tell you about
some things he may do things of which
he ought to be ashamed.
My dear sir, you may so nave the
confidence of your son that he will tell
you everything-everythng Nothing is
too delicate for father and son to dis
cuss-if they are chums.
Jimmie must know from some source
the things you know about life. How
much better you sh ould tell him than
some otheri Do you want your boy to
face temptations ignorantly or wrongly
instructed.
What are you in the world for any
way?
To make money for Jimmie?
MOI
You are in the world to help your
boy to make man of himself-a man
as good as you are or better.
For that are you a father.
And If Jimmie fails to make a good
man it will largely be your fault ard
you shame. But if he succeeds! Why,
that will be the joy and triumph of
your life

RAW Beef Sandwiches.

From the New York Press.
Mollycoddle doctors find that healthy
meat is almost as liable to give and
spread consumption as does consumptive
meat, because. they say, the butcheries
and butchers are so loaded up with con-
sumptive germs that they set up all the
other meat into consumption, and, con-
sequently. all the butcher meat must be
slightly cooked to keep off the dread
death. Rats! Tip has for years and years
eaten raw chopped beef once a week
breakfast la Tartar and never stopped
to consider whether or not there was any
consumption in 1t, and will continue to do
this thing as long as a small raw beef
sandwich with fine chopped onions is SO
delicious and goes so far for big meal
without filling up and doping dumb. OF
course, raw beef should be perfectly fresh
and chopped with clean tools and clean
hands and eaten at once. Generally
speaking, Tartar steak should be soaked
in cold salt water for an hour or SC
before being hacked up. Never run 1t
through a grinder.

BELIEVED CAPTAINS YARN
Corroborated by Missionary Who Knew
the Facts

From the New York Times.
Captain Bushick was one of the most
popular of the old-time commanders Of
the Big M line of steamships, sailing
between New York and the far southern
ports" said the southern merchant The
captains yarns were very interesting
too. though to tell the truth, he some
times strained the credulity of his listen
ers to the breaking point, but the old
man has been telling these remarkable
tales for so many years that he be-
lieved them implicitly themselves.
ION the last night out of New York
we were gathered in the smoking room
as usual. and the old captain outdid HIM
self In story telling. Finally he told US
most wonderful story of an experience
he had when he was cabin boy on
an Arctic whaler.
"It was to the effect that the ship he
was on had passed close to an iceberg,
and upon the lookout reporting a strange
looking animal upon it the captain,
thinking he might be a SEAL had sent the
mate in a small boat to investigate and
capture it. When the mate landed on
the iceberg he found the object which the
lookout had seen was not a seal but a
man dressed in sealskins, almost frozen
and in famished condition.
This man when taken aboard ship and
thawed out, had told a narrowing story,
and had proved it, of how he was the
only survivor of sealing vessel which
had been wrecked among the icebergs
the previous year and how he had been
floating about on the iceberg ever since,
with nothing to eat but frozen gull eggs
and nothing to drink but melted ice The
old captain told the story in his best
manner celebrating all the little impos-
sible details of the mans terrible suffer-
ings and privations. and expatiating upon
the miraculousness of his preservation.
Think of it. gentlemen, the old man
said. in conclusion. This man was nearly
two years adrift on the iceberg, with
nothing to eat but frozen eggs, nothing to
drink but melted ice, nothing to wear but
the sealskins he had saved when his ship
went down. Think of it, gentlemen, and
ponder on the mysterious ways of Provi-
dence.' l-tss
This story was the last straw that
broke the camel's back; it was too much
even for this friendly audience, and when
the captain finished there was dead
silence. This rather nettled the old man,
and he said rather angrily:
Perhaps some of you gentlemen
don't believe that story
az believe 1t, captain spoke up an old
missionary, who, according to his habit
had been sitting alone In a corner read
ing 4 believe the story, captain, and
I not only believe 1t, but I know 1t to be
true
How on earth, do you know 1t to
be true?' demanded the captain, dropping
his cigar in surprise.
!" Because, captain, returned the SOL
emn-looking old clergyman, l was the
man on the iceberg.
The captain gasped, rose to his feet,
made the missionary low bow, and went
out on deck We didn't see him again
that night" --fHEFu

To n Father

You say Jimmie is twelve.
Then 1t Is high time, If you have not
already done SO, to become Jimmie's
chum
It was all right for his mother to
have charge of him SO long as he was
more baby than boy. He could tell
her everything, and she could help him
In everything. She knew where he was
and what he was doing.
1t is different now.
The boy is big enough to be called
James and secretly he yearns for long
trousers. Unconsciously, maybe, but sure
ly he is tuggng to get loose from his
mothers apron strings.
He begins 20 be a man.
This is your opportunity to get close
to him. Jimmie wants a mate to talk
to and confide in. You can be that
mate If you want to be.
Jimmie would rather be your sworn
pal than to take Up with any other
person on earth. 1t would please him
NIGHTLY.
The danger is this:
He may become either ashamed or
afraid to confde in you. And If he is
either he may consult some harum
scraum of the street.
Some fathers, altogether too dignifed
or stern. proceed on the theory that the
son must recognize the parental author
ity. and they lay down the law and
punish the least infraction of It, They
believe that will keep the boy straight
1t will doubtless keep him from wrong
doing--where it can be found out
You see. the danger is that Jimmie,
being afraid Of you. may become .

Married Mt Twelve

Recently in an Indiana town the parents
of a girl u years of age permitted her to
marry a man of 80
Which was vicious crime against
childhood.
More than that, 1t was a crime against
society, against civilization, a crime
against the future.
Think of 1t!
girl of u years, still in short dresses,
whose place should be on her fathers
knee; a girl of tender years, whose only
serious concern should be her school
work and whose chiefest pleasures should
be her dolls and playhouses!
The pity of 1t!
What does this baby of ~ years know
about a husband or marriage or love
or life?
No girl is physically fit to be a wife or
mother at r. Marriages of that sort are
made only in India and the Orient, where
wives are regarded only as toys or play
things. =
What sort of children may be expected
from child mother not yet In her
teens?
Society puts its age limits upon mar
riage not only for the protection o, the
contracting parties. but to protect itself
from children born with handicap.
1t is easy to predict the finish or this
child If the marriage stands
At an age when other young girls are
beginning to entertain their earlier beaus
she will be a broken, nervous wreck,
doomed perhaps to an early grave.
The wrong of 1t!
Language may scarcely characterize the
cruelty-tte cruelty of the parents in de-
livering their tender offspring to this
mature man and the cruelty of the man
who would bind an innocent little thing
in premature marriage.
1t was a ruthless act.
The tendency of our day is away from
early marriages. and for a good reason
We are beginning to understand that
wifehood and motherhood call for a ma
turty, physical and mental, of twice 70
years. If the race is to advance the
mother must be fit and educated for her
duties.
Poor little Hoosier girl!
Justice and decency demand she should
be taken from her new home by the hui
name or some other society and sent to
school,
| And decency and justice demand that
| the mature parties to the conspira cy
should be punished to the limit of the
| law.
