Episcopal Churches Endorse Local
Option Principles.

The Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church for the Diocese of
Maryland took an action conservative
in form which is revolutionary and
far reaching In effect and marking a
new policy. The resolution adopted
Is as follows.
That this convention expresses Its
conviction that the ultimate aud COM
plete elimination of the saloon. a II
now exists, Is a necessary step toward
the cure of the drink evil and par
ticularly that 1t place itself on record
as fayoring such reasonable measures
as will remove the liquor question
from the sphere of politics and per
init Of Its solution on a moral and
social basis. through the passage of
such legislation as will enable the
whole matter Of licensing the sale of
Intoxicating liquors to be settled By
referendum TO the people. whose IN
tereats are vitality concerned there
with.
Superintendent Anderson Of the
Anti-saloon League Is quoted Is fol
lows respecting this action:
This does not commit the Eplaeo-
pal Church TO the Anti-saloon League
or even to the proposed local option
bill. or any particular bill. but since
1t Is an endorsement of the principle
which the bill exempllfies It Is Cyl
dent that In time the representatives
of this conservative denomination viii
either Join in to pass this bill or find
a better one, and as no church can
do this kind of work alone It Is rea-
sonahle to suppose iDat IL viii even
tually line up with the other church

the Protestant Episcopal Clergy
are already Interested In some
states the Episcopal Churches
are now open for the presentation
of the work of the League. IN I'LL

Chicago Diocese is officially represent
ed on the League Board Of directors.

tive as the Protestant Episcopal
Church takes this stand II Is The he

Is a great tribute TO the taet. persIs-

respect entertained for him IN his own

TRAGEDY n oHIoEESDOM
Hen Had @SettIng Fever Which
Proved q Fatal malady Mt Last.

Oscar A. Decheubell. the black
smith at Five Points. had q freak hen
which broke all records for Matching,
finally breaking her .'health"-and she
died.
Almost a year ago he set the hen
and Immediately following the hatch
he gave her another setting OF eggs,
which she duly "peeped."
After this double duty, the hen re-
fused to leave the nest. but kept right
on Matching setting after setting,
throughout the Summer. To try and
break the hens "persistency," Mr..
Decheubell resorted to the following
measures-penned 1t up, drove 1t from
nest to nest. placed 1t in water for
several hours. but as soon as left out
she started for the hennery and re-
turned to the nest.
The hen kept this up until this
week when 1t died. probably from
starvation, as 1t scarcely ate any food,
spending nearly al the time on the
nest.-HanoYer Record.

POSITION.

So Carranza let's it be known that he
will accept no aid from the United
States nor any other country-cXccpt
perhaps the exact amount Of aid which
accOrdingto his own assertion oft re
peated, will give him possession of the
capital and make him master Of the
country. For he has repeatedly said
that, given plenty of arms and ammuni.
tiOn-Or given the right 10 purchase
arms and ammunition it will enable him
to speedily win fall he has been, fighting
for. For if he needs nothing but arms,
arms are all lie needs. Therefore to ac-
cept the arms is not quite equivalent
to rejecting help-though. when stated
with proper unition and emphasis it
may sound ike rejecting help ......
However, let us not complain too
much Of Carranza. In politics it often
happens that the situation arises which
we sometimes describe with more force
than elegance as being between his sat.

nation has arisen for Carranza. He il

Properly armed and equipped his forces
could undoubtedly do more effective
fighting than they can do now. Yet if
C%arranza could win through any hell
given him by the Americans. his posi-.
ton would be unpleasant for many rca-
sons. He would be unpopular because
he had won by the aid Of a foreigner
rather than. by. his. own ski and cour

because Of any hatred of McXicanS for

THREE MEN. O. MERHI."

There were three men o Merri,
That lies along the sea;
They Sworc the oath of salt and Wind
That they would hold them free
From wtman'S charms and woman arHl>
And womau'> witchcry.
And Eric met a fisher lass
A-walking on the sand:
The Sea is LonlincSS," she said,
And touched him with her hand,
And smiles into his blinded eyes
And wed him to the land.
And Petri watched d bold girl dance.
With pant upon her lips;
The light fell from the tavern lamp
And touched her finger tips
Like marriage gold! Another man
Halls out in Pctri's ships.
And Barrac, Of the heart Of brass.

He laughed and kissed 4 " mans lips
And found them fresh and warm
And went across the little hills
And Squattcd on a farm.
