CHURCH BURNING GOES ON.
People in England Wonder How SUI
fragettes Can Destroy.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. June 1.-THE squalid snort OF
church burning goes merrily on. War
crave Church, which was burned down
this week and its ruins decorated with
irreverent suffragette literature, is not
of such notable historical interest a the
church near Edinburgh which suffragettes
burned some months ago. but it was very
beautiful especially its square tower Of
red brick. which the centuries had ten
derby weathered to rich. delicate hue
II was well known to all lovers of the
Thames who go to Wargraye and they
were many. for Wargrave has the most
delightful backwater on the river. The
old church was picture of peace. with
its iyied tower and the open lawn before
il. and the tall elm screen made an Heal
setting. The tower is half destroyed, and
only the walls of the church remain
People ask how the blind and malicious
persons who destroy these and other
beautiful things can think that they do
good to the suffrage cause, and the ex-
pressions one hears on all sides of alb
horrence and indignation and reputation
show how, just as those who do these
evil things have forgotten their cause in
a one-sided vendetta against the finer
things in England, so the unthinking per-
son forgets everything but these acts.
forgetting that religious mania, which
goes to fill the asylums. is not accepted as
a proof against religion.

DIFFICULT TO GET JOBS.
Pension Office Employees Who Face
Dismissal Hunt Other Places.

Names of the persons dismissed from
the pension office force were sent to the
other bureaus and departments Of the
government, before the dismissals were
ordered, with a view to obtaining posi-
lions for them. Few of the dismissed
employees, it Is understood, obtained
transfers in this manner. as some Of the
departments took the stand that they
did not want to take certain employees
whom the pension bureau was attempting
to get rid of. But some Of the employees
did obtain positions In this manner.
The employees who are to be dismissed
are finding it difficult to get positions in
the other departments. as it is declared
that the clerical force is filled to the
limit. One woman. who is among those
who will be compelled to give up their
positions July l. declared that she had
been to nearly every department, but
had not met with success.

MY Dear Sir:
IT am sure that the whole country is in

that the Lincoln Highway Association

ficial Lincoln highway markers on the
mAcadam roadway running from Phila-
delphia to Washington, through the
properly selected streets of the latter
city to the Lincoln memorial now I'M
der construction. and from thence along
the roadway through Frederick. Md.
and from Freredick to Gettysburg.

more than $1,000, received from several
copyrighted books written by him.
After his death Wirth's nephews and
nieces. as his heirs, claimed the prop
erty. The circuit court OF appeals held
that the agreement Of poverty with
the society was void as against public
policy, and held the nephews and
nieces were entitled to the property.
Justice Hughes said the lower court
erred in interpreting the rules Of the or
der as preventing members from leaving
the order.
He explained the court failed to distin-
guish between an ethical withdrawal and
a civil withdrawal from the order. The
rules, he added merely bound him for
