V I TO MAKE US BETTE& RELIGIOUS PEOPLE TALK OF 8EIZINQ THE PRESS. tfrank Craae Think thafthe Dig city rper Are a Hindrance to Church regress Good rper Better Than Maaj- Churches. CHIT'S NB time there were a couplo who did not get along very well together; they often fell out and each thought tho other hardly treated him fair. They were a wolf and a lamb. So tho wolf ate the lamb, and found ho greed with him much better than over fceforo. That is one way of settling mlsun deretandlnga. The pulpit would rec ommend that the church go up and take the newspaper, for we are abundantly able to possess It. Now let me preachlfy a little and ehow (1) why and (2) how we should take possession of the newspaper. 1. Why. (1) Because every church man feels that it is the gospel and that alone which will solve society's prob lems. The principles of Jesus are of infinitely more use to be applied to cur rent events than the1 principles of any political party. (2) The news vehicle Is the very best extant medium for reaching the people. Pulpits are good, and so ate books; the quarterly review influences few, the monthly a few more, tho weekly religious periodical ouu more, out best of all Is the news paper. News Is the best bait Why should not the best principles have the best vehicle whereby to get to tho pub- lie eye? (3) Preaching originated bofore ' tho days of newspapers. New days de mand methods. Truth ought to change , clothes often to keep strong and healthy. Nothing needs up-to-dateness like the gospel. Conservatism Is good, but sometimes there Is too much of a good thing. (4) While the pulpit will always remain the best means of per sonal persuasion, the printed page is the best handle to. public opinion. The church has quite as much to do with public Ideals as with Individual char acter in the business of saving the world. For lnstanqe, by arousing public opinion to secure tho enforcement of the law against gambling houses, tho church would do quite as much good to the public as to persuade a hundred youths not to gamble. (5) As a business proposition, look at it The object of the church is to influence people. To that end she spends much money. Business demands it be invested in the most paying ways. Say it take an ! vestment of a halt million and an an nual outlay of fifty thousand dollara to run the churches of Omaha (a con servative estimate) wouldn't half of this amount pretty handsomely subsidize a good dally paper, by which, on the wings of news, tho popular mind could be influenced more than by preaching? I 2. How? (1) Not by making a denom- I inational organ, or in any sense her- alfling the claims or peculiar doctrines of any sect. Tho day is past when i these are of great interest to the poo pie at large, and the day Is here when all evangelical churches are standing shoulder to shoulder proclaiming the same gospel and making common cause again all sin and humbug and sham. (2) Let this Christian newspaper stand for such a platform as this: Enforcement and not evasion of law against the criminal class; public officers must keep their- oaths; tho saloon must go; gambling must be crushed, like a ven omous snake; prostitution must not be legalized, directly or indirectly; the first duty of a Btate is to conserve its morality, business prosperity Is sec ondary; tho spirit and principles of Christ is the only solution of the labor 'question greed is the chief enemy of society; the stale must not connive at , affiliation with any sect or church; pur ity of elections; honesty among legis lators; and, Indeed, all questions of public Import are to be treated, always applying to them the principles of Jus tice, honor and the people's welfare, and never the false and fatal heresies of policy and greed. Let the public mind become familiar with the reiterat ed question, Is it right? No newspaper can do this that Is tied to a party or Is merely working for the business in terests of a community. (3) Every coun ty In the state could have one Chris tian county newspaper if the Christian people would co-operate lor its support "One 'such organ would preach more . gospel than a dozen ordinary churches. Nothing in these remarks is intend ed to Imply that the pastoral care and teaching of present church organiza tions should be at all superseded, nor that newspapers, as at present conduct- ted, are especially wicked. The pulpit believes our existing newspapers are important conservators of public moral ity, but that is not in Issue liere. Our contention is slmnlr this: Chrlafn business ought to have tho best possible agencies. The newspaper is the best agency to mold public opinion. There fore Christ ought to have it AT THE THEATER. Th Female Villain' Rcallstle Death Stirred One Woman' Heart From tho Chicago News: Tho prin cipal actors In tho play had waded through quagmires of blood-curdling, hair-raising mystery and a wilderness of Boul-dopresalng, tantalizing doubt, dragging a hydra-minded audionce through with thorn. At last they tottered on tho verge of tho Bceno whore tho femalo imper sonator of devlllshnesB commits tho grave error of bolng found out and winds up her career by yanking a fow stray locks of her hair out by the roots na a prelude to Bwallowlng tho fatal pill of Infinitesimal dimen sions, tho hero raves, tho outragod mother-in-law goos daft and all tho other cut-and-dried incidents Indige nous to tho last act of a modern drama pile up thick and fast bofore tho senses of a muddled houso. When they got to that point ono thrilling chapter of mimic life followed in hot haato on tho trail of its nredeceRRorn and thn ma jority of lookers-on who had been in- , cllnod to play a game of lnappreclatlve ireeze-out during tho flrat two acts Warmed UD to a knnwloilen of thn flrn and vigor being displayed and their outbursts of annlmina warn frnnnnnt and sincere. One of tho most interested looking people in tho whole theater wbb a woman in the sixth row of tho par quet Her faco was pale and the lower Jaw was Bet in that mold of rigidity which naught but tho most intense feel ing can produce; her eyes never wan dered from tho sceno of action and for a dangerously long period she leaned forward in a state of suspended ani mation, determined not to loso ono frac tional part of a wink or nod necessary to a creditable production of the play. me temaie villain started out on her last series of dying gasps; her stage as sociates grouped themselves effectively around her and watched her In well simulated, Bilent horror; a hush like tho presence of some unconquerable, in visible power settled down over the vast audience and the face of the woman in the sixth row grew whiter still. A few seconds elapsed; she sighed. Another second and sho sighed again. The ex pressions of solicitude were deep and long-drawn out and audlblo several feet away. Everybody withn earshot who was not too much engrossed turned to look at her sympathetically. Her huB band touched her on tho shoulder as a means of restoring her to consciousness, MANY ARE PITIFULLY VOUNO, ' Mlti Wllllard Vtlte at Iter VUlt to the Anchorage. Miss Frances H.

There was considerable excitement in tho Moran family, of Chelton Hills, the other evening when It was dis covered that the pride of the house, a siuray young man or 3 years, was mys teriously missing. He had been con siderable of a rover from tho time his well-starched dresses gave place to kllts, but his wanderings had been limited to the houso and yard, and thus It was that when, about 7 o'clock in tho evening, the little Fauntleroy was wanted and was not found, the anxiety prevailed. The neighbors' houses were all vlsltod nnd each family was Invited to participate in tho search, while In turn one after another of tho patrol houses were notified and the blue coated officers detailed to lend their as sistance to listen in out-of-the-way localities for a youthful voice raised In treble entreaties for help, and In by ways to search with lanterns for the wanderer. It was all in vain. how. ever, and as pne after another reported to the anxious mother the 111 success wnii wmen iuey nau mei sne occamo almoBt frantic, while picturing her darling alone in-a great city beyond the influences of her tender caro and subject to ail tho indescribable dangers which one In her position might fancy. At last she burst into a fit of hysterical sobs, and then It was that a still small and very sleepy voice emanating from beneath the old-fashioned sofa, softly inquired: -vnars a matter, mamma?" That was all, but it settled the dis turbance, and a proclamation was Is sued notifying the good people of the hill that the lost had been found. The Japanese .Note. In Japan the noBe is the only feat ure which attracts attention. The nose determines the beauty or ugliness of the face, according as -It la hi r small. ThiB is probably due to the fact that differences in noses constitute about the only distinction between ono Japanese face and another. In Japan a lady who has a huge proboscis la al ways a great beauty and a reigning belle. Some of the Simpler Kxerclse Pre scribed hjr CultnrUtt. For thoso who sit much, and most women do, either over tholr sowing, at a desk, an easel, a piano, or an em broidery frame, some of tho simpler ex orcises that physical culture teachers prescribe, or similar ones that the Indi vidual may invent at will, aro valuable to keep tho chest from contracting and weakening. The work should bo left every few hours, a perpendicular atti tude assumed, and a few motions gone through with, for counteracting the stooping posture. Stand with the feet in tho military position heels slightly apart and toes at an angle of sixty de greeswith tho knees straight and tho hcols about Bix Inches from tho wall. Put tho tips of the fingers on tho chest, and whllq slowly counting four, throw out tho arms from tho shoulders hori zontally across the wall, bringing them back with another four count to their original position. Repeat tho oxerclso, tnis time turning the wriBts, that tho palms of the hands may lie flat against tho wall, and bring tho hands back aa I before to tho original position. Tho : one, two, three, four, should bo very deliberate, and tho ex erciso oven never hurried or Jerky. Then, in the same position (military), with tho heels a few inches from tho wall, lean backward, with knees rigid, slowly, until the top of the head touches the wall, and then, on the count of four, is gradually brought back to the natural position. Repeat this exer cise of touching tho top of the head to the wall, at the Bamo time rising on the toes, pressing the hands on the body, the thumbs under the armpits, and the fingers forward on tho chest The lungs thus expand very perceptibly, and the bad effect of considerable stooping is enacea. 1 Coal In Alaska. It Is believed that an extensive field of valuable coal haB been discovered within fifty miles of Juneau, Alaska. If this proves to be so it will, of course, - mean very much for the development of that region. It la known that excel lent coal exists In many parts of Alaska, but tho discoveries hitherto have been remote from the settled regions. A Hoonah Indian brought into Juneau some three weeks ago several p'ieces of excellent anthracite coal, which ho said he found at a place fifty mlleB from the town, and from his description it was thought that there lb a e,n several feot thick cropping out on a hillside These Athlutle Day.

Tho novollst has never woven a tale of more Improbability than tho plain, unvarnished story of the lifo and social trlumphB of Mabel Wright, from the time of her Introduction to tho Inner circle of Now York society, her capture of it and ono of Its moat exclu alve membcrH, to her separation and di vorce the other day In a Dakota town, and her prospective marrlago to tho heir presumptive to ono of tho oldest and foremost families of a European court It la almost Cinderella in real American life. Mabel Curtis Wright wna tho daugh ter of a carpet designer, a man who had only a moderate income, and lived In a fair, but not aristocratic, Now York boarding house. There was ab solutely nothing in hor origin nor sur roundings to warrant any expectation of more than tho ordinary, hum-drum life of an American woman of the mid dle class, except her beauty. That at tracted attontlon, and her good naturo and good sense completed the conquest of thoso who camo In contact with her. She was introduced Into "society" nt Newport, and, for onco lot it bo said to tho credit of New York "society," usually tho crudest and most shoddy of all flimsy creations, sho was received and welcomed for tho aako of hor own sweetness, waa paid attention by all tho swells, and at tho last wbb won by one of tho best "catches" of tho sea son, Mr. Fernando Yznaga, tho mar riage taking place In March, 1890, In tho comparatively humble apartments of bor father and mother. As the wife of a millionaire Mrs. Yznaea had n. tree to all tho social functions of Now York, and spent much time in Enrnnn. meeting tho very best people on both sides of the Atlantic. But Mr. Yznaga had already been divorced from one wife at her instance tho sister of MrB. W, K. Vanderbilt, before ho married Miss Wright. Two years ago thero wero rumors of differences between the Yzangas. Early this year, while in London, thoy separated. The wife camo over here and settled In Dakota, where sho secured a divorce last weok. Her hUBband waa represented by counsel, but made no defense, and the cause was "incompatibility," which may cover a multitude of matrimonial sins. Now comes the continuation of tho romance. Where Count Bela Zichy and Mrs. Yznaga first met does not appoar, nor is It material. That thoy mot and that thoy loved Is certain. For somo tlmo the name of the count hna hsnn whispered in connection with that of the beautiful American, but, to the credit of both lot It bo said, never in an onenslve way. The Hungarian nobleman hoa borno himself most chlv I alrously and with raro discretion and 1 delicacy. But no sooner waa the dl vorce announced than it was said the I two would bo married, and of that thero seems no doubt While tho lady waa with her father In Dakota her lover waa here In Now York in Btrictest retire ment, awaiting the tlmo of her freedom from tho bonds of matrimony binding her to Yznaga. Contrary to tho usual custom in nuoh cases, qulto in contrast with the Morl-borough-Vanderbllt affair, in this in stance the foreigner is not after American dollars, but American beauty, and for lovo alone. It Is he who has the millions, while his bride will bring him but littlo but hor own sweet self. Count Zichy, though at present only a Lieutenant In the Austrian army, is of the 12th Haller-Hussars, ono of the most aristocratic regiments in Europe. Ho is a brother-in-law of Count An- the West to hall from or to romembor and be patrlotio about hna a pnthetlo and simple talo of woo to toll abont such a simple, little thing aa tho trim ming of a hat that will surely strike a sympathetic chord in tho gontlo bo aonia of hor sisters along tho Mississ ippi. "I wont down to an catbllshment on 8lxth avenue tho other day," said Bhe, "and selected a hat I llkod untrlmmed, becauso I wanted to ubo aomo feathers I had on hand. Thou I took It upstairs to the trimming department. It was a long tlmo before I could find nnyono to wait on me. When I did got attention It waa from an arrogant girl with her handB on her hips and a swagger that was made for a duchess and so was a misfit on her, who refused utterly to touch my hat. I finally had to Undo it anu snow nor what I wnntod. Sho was so insolent nbout it that I gavo hor n bit of my mind nnd went nwny. I wont to another placo, and then to nnothor, nnd yet another, until I wna tired be yond oxproBBlon. Do whnt I could I was unablo to get that hat trimmed! At last, worn out nnd doBporato, I aflkod ono girl: 'Will you toll mo why I can't get a hat trimmed here in Now York'' Tho anawor wna that unlesa I 'VJaKiMmBaw. SaM(i Tmrf COUNT ZICHY. bought at leaBt $5 worth of trimmings from tho firm or all tho material in the first place, no houso would touch it Then I wanted to know It It was pos sible to get such a Blmplo thing done In the city, and was told that it waa not expected. I went home in disgust I have plenty of money. I have lived in several cities and never before had any such troublo they always charge enough to mako It very profitable. Finally, I took a Sunday paper, and at last found an advertisement of a wo man away down town who did such a thing. I took that hat from West One Hundrcd-and-Thlrd street to East Twenty-seventh street and had It done nicely and to my porfect satisfaction. But, my, what a time I bad and such a simple thing too.

STANTON WANTS. ! fl Women Urged to Demand Equal Chares, and State Right. In tho address prepared by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton for the celebra tion of her eightieth birthday la New York recently she pointed out what new etepB she would wish to see women take In their progress toward reform and equality. She urged that, as In the past tney nad worked to secure from the state the same rights, immunities and privileges enjoyed by men, they should now demand from the church these things. "First" she said, "we muBt see that the canon laws, Mosaic code, scripture, prayer books and liturgies be purged of all invidious distinctions of sex, of all falso teachings as to woman's char acter and destiny. "Second, wo must demand an equal place in the offices of tho church aa pastors, olJorB, deacons; an equal voic in the croods, discipline, in all business matters, and in tho synods, conference and general assemblies. "Third, wo must InBlst that all un worthy reflection on the sacred charac ter of tho mother of the raco, such as the allegory of her creation and fall, and Paul's assumptions as to her social status, bo expunged from our church literature. Such sentiments cannot In spire tho rising generations with re spect for tholr mothers.
