Prayer Meeting In the Commons.

For many years prayer meeting
has been held in the house Of COM
mons once week during every parlia-
mentary session. No one knows who
originated the idea, but the records Of
the proceedings, which are faithfully
noted each week, show that in the
year 1888 the well known Quaker Mr..
Z. POWELL Buxton and the evangel-
icals Sir George Grey and Mr.. Zach
airy Macauley were in constant at
tendance. The prayer meeting is held
in a room granted for the purpose by
the sergeant-at-arms and is restricted
to twenty minutes. The proceedings
are very simple. At each weekly meet
ing a president for the following week
Is chosen. On the day Of assembling
Tuesday, at S o'clock-the president
for the day opens the meeting, reads
a portion Of the Scriptures and either
offers an extempore prayer or calls on
one Of the members to pray. Two or
three others offer short prayers, and
the meeting closes with the benedic-
tion.-London News.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 16.-As early
as 6 a. m. crowds began to gather for
admission to the Schenk trial, but

such testimony as Daniel Phillips, a
local piano salesman, gave the prev

The effort of Prosecuting Attorney
J. B. Handlan to prove that Mrs.
Schenk attempted to poison her hus-
band last fall was directed to an n.y.
pothetical question covering all the
facts in the case as far as they have
been developed. This question began
while DR.. J. T. Thornton, who was
called to attend Schenk during his ill.,
ness, was on the stand. DR.. Thornton
had concluded with the admission on
cross-examination that the symptoms

In his direct questioning he had
stated that certain symptoms indicat-

to occupy the courts attention until

tedious technicalities would be re.

might have been a motive for the

charged.
1t was intimated that Phillips might
be recalled for further questioning as
to his relations with Mrs. Schenk

Lasch had been informed that a little
stranger had come to his home during
the night and he desired to visit the

Rhode Island Scion Hopes to Secure
Adoption of His Measure Before the
Close Of the Present Session, When
He Retires From Public Life-Idea
Modification Of the System Now in
Force in England.
washington, Jan. Ex-senator AL
arich will soon, it is said, introduce in
the senate a bill embodying his per.
sonal plan for the reorganization of
the national finances before the close
OF the present session of congress.
This plan provides for modified cen
trail bank system which is designed
to make available the business credit
OF the country as basis for currency,
but which will not enter into competi-
ton in the general banking business
OF national, state or private banks.
The senator from Rhode Island has
determined on this step as the best
method of educating the business
world and acquainting it with the con-
illusions he has been led to draw from
the extensive investigations of the ma
t1Onal monetary commission.
Whether or not members of that
commission will subscribe with
marked unanimity to the views of the
senator from Rhode Island, who is it's
chairman, remains to be determined
Mr.. Aldrich, while regarding the
proposed measure as of vast impor-
lance to the stability of the nations
finances and while, perhaps, measur:
ably proud of the system he has de-
vised, is wholly open to suggestion
and his purpose in presenting the bill
at this session is the better acquaint-
ance of the business world with the
conclusions he has reached and the
plan he has devised and which is, of
course, least in harmony with the de-
auctions of majority of the commits
sion. If those interested in the sub
ject as members of the commission or
as bankers and business men can sug-
gest improvements Mr.. Aldrich will
welcome such suggestions most cor
daily.
Features of His Plan.
The plan of central bank, modelled
after the Bank of England, was found
to possess practically insuperable OBJ
jections, but Mr.. Aldrich will propose
a modification of that plan, a bank
which will possess large capital,
which will issue currency in times of
emergency and which will probably,
in the course of time, replace the ex-
listing national bank notes, which will
accumulate a surplus and which will
exercise a certain supervisory power
over the banking and fiscal affairs of
the entire country, similar to that
which has been exercised by the clear
ing house associations in those cities
large enough to maintain such institu-
tions
To facilitate the exercise of that
supervision which is regarded as es-
sential to the proper utilization of the
credit of the commercial institutions,
and which includes check on fren-
zied finance and madcap banking, Mr..
Aldrich proposes the division of the
country into fifteen districts, each of
which will choose a director to sit on
the board of what Mr.. Aldrich terms
1.-The central banking mechanism" and
this directorate, which will be aug
mented by certain of the federal fiscal
Off GERS, will control the affairs of the
central mechanism, as we'll as pass on
such questions as may be referred to
it by the several districts.
