stick Up for old Customs.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A short time ago a letter appeared
in YOU Rostrum deploring the an
cient and silly" jokes played on newly
married couples. The communicate
argued that the practice of throwing
rice at the bride Is dangerous, and
he mentioned an example in New
York, where the rice hit one OF the
horses attached to the bridal carriage,
causing 1t to become frightened and
run away. The bride was thrown to
the ground and died later as a result
of her injuries.
Such a case as he presents might
happen once in a thousand years. On
account of this one accident would ne
do away with a custom which has
made the departure of married couples
on their wedding trip a happy one!
Perhaps he would have the friends
of the bride and groom gather around
the coach, and with bowed head and
bated breath. see the newlyweds pass
away in silence. II "Cense" has any
thing else to say on this subject, 1
hope you will print his letter In this
column. oLDWED.

IN ISCOVERY has just been made in Cincinnati that for the
]O past quarter of a century threefourths of the local clergy
men have been lawbreakers in neGlecting to send their Ger.
tifcates of marriage to the Probate Court. The law makes this
neglect a misdemeanor, and therefore in the eye of the law the
clergyman is a criminal. 1t is found that $500 marriages per-
formed by these clergymen have never been reported and that the
fines that may be imposed aggregate $133O00. The same neglect
has hampered the work of city clerks and health boards in New
Jersey for many years. A legislative act passed last winter stifens
the statute requiring prompt reports of marriages, births and
deaths, but the act is not more drastic than the Ohio law, and it is
vet to be seen how it works.

BOOSTING RATES TO PAY WAGE MCPEAs

cTa HE railroad companies in Great Britain will be enabled to
saddle upon their patrons the increased cost of their labor
only by an act of Parliament, and the necessary legislation
has been promised them in consideration of their agreement to
raise labor wages. In the United States, recently the railroads
held private conferences and decided among themselves to boost
freight rates. When shippers kicked they were told that the in
crease had been necessitated by an increase of wages forced upon
the companies. 1t never occurred to the railroad managers that
the government had any say in the matter, and the government was
altogether ignored until the Interstate Commerce Commission in
terposed its authority. Last year the railroads just as arbitrarily
made a raise of 20 per cent. in commutaion rates in northern New
Jersey, and after the lapse of a year there is some reduction of the
Increase. The British railroad interests are powerful, but they
cannot arbitrarily advance freight rates or passenger fares, as an
act of Parliament in 1894 forbids. The British system is the cor

ENGLAND,s WELSH STATESMAN.
LOYD-GEORGE, the Well

IT LOYDGEORGE, the Welshman and Radical, who has arisen
IL to such prominence in British politics, is credited with being
the principal factor in bringing about the agreement which
settled the great labor strike and averted a national calamity.
But yesterday this singularly able man was placarded all over
England by the Conservatives as a dangerous social and political
frebrand. 1t was LloydGeorge who drafted the budget bill that
the House of Lords threw out and which was The cause of the Lords
undong. Indirectly he brought about one of the greatest revolu-
tons in British history. He has now done for England a service
of incalculabe value, and the career of this Welsh lawyer has only
begun. Beyond doubt he will be the premier of England if he
lives, and he may then do even greater service for his country in
it's foreign policy.

Crowded insane Asylum Danger.

Crowded Insane Asylum Danger.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The Evening STAR Is doing a good
work in advocating the proper support
of the State insane asylums so that
they will not be SO o~yercrowded as
they are at present.
Yesterday a maniac was overpowered
by the police after terrorizing Berdine's
Corner near New Brunswick for a day
and a night and after threatening to
kill anyone who crossed him. To make
good his threats he had a rife, a shot
gun, two revolvers and a satchel which
he claimed WAS full of dynamite.
Luckily no one was killed In the gun
fight that preceded his capture.
But 1t is ~self-evident that u maniac
such as he is should not be put II an
asylum which Is so overcrowded that
proper classification of the inmates is
impossible. The bad effects of this
easily be imagined.
Yet at Morris Plain1, for instance,
the hospital is so overcrowded that
just such desperate lunatics are herded
together in long corridors or over
cowded rooms with other patients not
nearly so bad.
If, through this o~vercrowding, a num-
Der of these maniacs escape at any
time from one of the State hospitals,
the danger to the people in the sur
rOttpIiny fourYas uu41I ~ .1or,r oraot A
handful of maniacs could. and prob
ably would, institute a real reign of
terror.
Such an accident might happen at
any time, merely because of the COM
overcrowded asylums or through the
breaking out of a fire. C. L.

THREE COSTLY T

wv pletes the work of destroying what would have been the
best results of the special session. If all the reductions
that were contemplated in the cotton bill, the free list bill and the
wool bill could have been put into effect there would have been
an enormous saving for the people in the purchase of necessares
even before the regular session of Congress opens, while the
economy would have run into the tens of millions before Con
gress could enact any tariff legislation. The three vetoes are very
costly to the American people.

ROOSEVELT DlscLAIMs CANDIDACY.

I'D OOSEVELT writes to an overenthusiastic boomer of his
I'm candidacy for the presidency at Pittsburg that he would
regard a movement for his nomination as a genuine
calamity and bids him cease from troubling. This is not the
first disclaimer that Roosevelt has made, and probably it won't be
the last. When presidential nomination politics get well warmed
up and when the Republican opponents of Taft realize that they
have no other card to play against him in the Republican national
convention they are very likely to fall back on Roosevelt and invoke
the sentiment of 1904 that swept him into the White House.

CATHOLICISM IN JAPAN.

The Catholics in Japan are mostly
descendants of Christians who, perse-
cuted and priestless, handed down the
faith unbroken for two hundred years.
Their presence will serve to recall to
their countrymen the memory of the
most heroic of their ancestors, and,
should the question of adopting form
of Christianity again arise, they are
most likely to select that which alone
is Interchangeable and logical, adequate
to their mental and moral needs, and
identical with that for which so many
of their fathers laid dawn their lives.
When some fifty years ago French
priest discovered the Japanese Chris
tians, they asked him: CD if he obeyed
the great Father in Rome; (2) if he
reverenced the Virgin Mother of
Christ, and (3l if he also was virgin.
Those who may not stand such test
can never Christianize Japan; the pic
ture of St. Francis Xavier, publicly ex-
hibited by the Japanese Government,
points out the creed and character of
the apostles who alone can make her
a Christian.

A STRANGE TESTAMENT.

He had read of wills contested and
annulled, John Leavitt, and he often
times wondered how his own direc-
tions would be followed after his
death. John was not a rich man, he
had to work for his living, and knew
he could not leave much money to his
heirs. He stuck to new plan.
A few years after, John died, and in
his will, they read: so many Masses
for the repose of my soul, for the souls
in puprgatory: already offered.
So many aims to the poor: already
given.
So many offerings for the extension
of the Kingdom of Christ in foreign
lands: already contributed.
Then followed the text Lay up tt
yourselves treasures in heaven: where
neither the rust not moth doth con
sumo, and where thieves do not break

TO BUILD A CHAPEL IN CHINA.

From an isolated district in China
Jealous missionary, Rev. j. B. Tis-
serand, c. NJ, sends this appeal:
"A month ago I gave retreat in
the Chinese sub-prefecture of Kiang-
San where the population is very dense
and I have many converts to the
Faith. If I might choose to labor in
any one part of my district more than
in another, I certainly would prefer
the parish of Kiang-San, because there
conversions are numerous and the
neophytes are edifying and pious. In
other parts of my territory, on the con-
trary, the people are Indifferent and
it is difficult to make any impression
upon them. In Kiang-San during the
retreat, baptized forty-one adult con-
verts and several children, the Off
spring of Catholic parents. like this
region, also, for another reason-the
life of the people is very simple,
almost patriarchal. Three-fourths of
the population are agriculturists and
wrest scanty subsistence from the
wretched soil.
"The events of the world beyond
their horizon, the modernization OF
China, which, in many cases, has but
encouraged materialistic ideas among
the natives, does not concern these
isolated farmers. Their morals are
good, and it seems as if God has re
warded the correctness of their lives
by giving them the grace of the con
version. feel it my duty, therefore
to do all that I can to help them
Accordingly, I have decided to build
a chapel in town called Pa-li-bong
which is situated about ten miles from
Kiang-San.
This structure is to cost one hun
dred dollars, and is to be divided into
two stories. The chapel proper will
be in the upper story and will accom-
modate two hundred people; the space
On the first floor will be used as g
school and furnish a lodging for the
missionary. Recently I told our Vicar
Apostolic of my plan, and he said
You have promised the poor native
Catholics of Pa-li-bong that you will
give them a chapel. Very good, but
have you the one hundred dollars
necessary to build it?'
ALAS! No, Bishop! l was compelled
to reply, but I trust that Providence
will assist me to raise this humble
sanctuary, so necessary for these new
converts who are too poor to erect i
for themselves The Bishop gave m,
the permission to go on with the work
and now, dear friends of the mission
of the United States, will you not b,

this modest shrine to His honor an,
