In ad dition to atatlatlca of the various denomin ation, the work will preoent a brief history ef each; alao the pertinent facta rerardtna; their doctrine and policy. The compilation la the work of Dr. Edwin it. Bllaa. . ' Chinese an Japanese Templea. Up to the time of the investigation there had been no effort to affeot any organlsa tion for the promotion of Confucianism, but ths text tells of a aoclety of the Chlneae spec's followers which was orranlsed In Mew Tork City In 1307, among- the Mongo llon students An Columbia university. Con tending that Buddhism Is only a aystem of ethics, they" undertook to - demonstrate that Confucianism waa a real religion and so a regular system of services waa estab lished by. a well defined organization.'' The organised followers of Buddhism are Chinee and Japanese. , Their churches, known officially as' "tetnples," by' the Ir reverent are referred to aa "Joss" houses. There are sixty-two Chinese and twelve Japanese temples In this country,', the former being distributed over twelve and the latter '.over three states. California aheltera all but three of the Japanese and more than half of ' the Chlneae houses. About forty, which went down under the San Ftanolsoo cataclysm, had remained in ruins to the time of the enumeration. Tare Chimes Deities. New Tork boaated fifteen of the Chlneae temples, the remainder being scattered over ten states mostly In the west. The Chinese) Buddhists have only one priest In this country and conduot no recognised system of worship. There Is no record of member ship; they have no sermon; keep no Sab bath and hare no religious service. The only use for their templea are aa plaeea at which Individual devotees may consult their patron aalnts. Three deittea are recognised In the American templea, the god Kuan, a mighty duke of the ancient Han dynaay; thei Goodeea of. Fortune and the Ooddesa f Mercy. v The American-Japanese .Buddhists are of the progressiva Bhln Shlu sect, whloh Is missionary In oharaoter. - They discard the aacetlo practices of the more austere Bud dhists of Asia, allow the priests to marry and have no ban on meat or other food. The societies are well organised, each having a priest- General headquarters are In San Francisco, and they have both Jour nals and schools devoted to the propagation of the faith. In IMS their membership In this country was 1,187, . of which 771 were females. There Is no Shlntolsm, an explanation of whloh la found In the faet that this religion attaches Itself too closely to the person of the Japanoae emperor. in a rvay the Hindoo religion la represented by the Vedanta aoclety, with organisations In New Tork, Pittsburg, San Francisco and Los Angeles. -It waa organized by soma Hindu teachers who came here In 1888 to tha World's fair.

Twenty-two of the fifty-nine Hueslan churcliea are In Pennaylvanla. Th volume alao will tell of the various Christian aecta which are considered more purely American, and will show the various branchea thereof. It will show that while there are only fit ty-aeven main bodlea, thera are 215 church organlaatlona. many of them professing a faith only, a ahada different from others. For Instance, there re . seventeen Baptist bodies, twenty-four Lutheran, fifteen Methodist and. twelve Floating Court Volcano Now in Eruption SEWARD Alaska, 'Aug. lS.-Unlted States District Judge Cushman. who has been conducting a "floating court," aboard the revenue cutter Rush, haa completed his work along the Aleutian peninsula, and is on his way back to Seward.

The same Is true of lose known - organisations. Thera are fifteen Mennonlte, seven Adventlsts, four Dunker or Dunkard and four Quaker or' Friend bodies. There appears no division In either the Roman Catholic or Proteetant Episcopal church, although It Is ahown that efforts to modify their creeds have resulted In the establishment of Independent bodlea. They are designated aa the Reformed Catholic and the Reformed Episcopal churches, respectively. The Reformed Catholic number only 1.130 communicants while of the Reformed Eplscopallana there are about 9.82. Reasons for Divisions. Tha cause of origin of some of the branchea is indicated by the name. For Instance, there are General Baptists, Separata Baptists, United Baptists, Free Baptists, Freewill Baptists, United Ameri can Freewill Baptists, Primitive Baptists, Goners I Six-Principles Baptlats. Seventh Day Baptists, Duck River Baptlsta and Two-6eed-ln-the-Splrlt Predestination Bap tists. The dvll war caused splits, giving rise to Southern Methodist and Southern Bap tist bodlea. In these churches there la also color division. Two or three churches came Into existence just after tha close of the war aa a protest against political preach ing. Many of tha branchea of tha Lutheran church are due to differences In nationality. Of other branches beatdea the Duck River Baptlsta. owing thalr name to localities, are tha River Brethren and tha Torkera, both branches of tha Brethren denomination. Tha former began existence on tha Susque hanna river; tha latter In Tork county. Pa., The Brlnaers, also Brethren, are called after their flrat bishop aa are aleo the Bchweckenfeldera.

There were about 790 organizations In the main branch of the Salvation Army, with a membership of about 25,000. . There were IKS organizations of Spiritualists with over 36,000 members. The report records tha rapid disappear ance of communistic societies, showing that of eight organlaatlona mentioned In the census of 1890, only two are left, the sur vivors being remnanta of the Shakera and of the Amana society.

The dealer In that market are used to hearing lurid stories of life afloat In pursuit of eeev f ood. When, however, the sailors of the Leonldaa began telling of the capture of aea aerpenta and of a wave full of man-eating sharka breaking aboard, even the most liberal minded among the fish market audltbra Joined In asking Captain Olaf Olaen, eom rrander of tha amack, to unload the Leon ldaa as quickly aa possible and then take her over to the dry dock. "Why ahould I take her to tha dry dockT" he inquired. . "To . have her fractured reputation for veracity repaired,", waa tha response, ' and Olaen did not relish It. "We went outside a week ago," one of tha aallors said, "and had a fine run to Five Fathom Bank. There we began to fish and had good luck from - the start. It waa eight bells on last Sunday night.

USGE HASTE BY DEPARTMENT Seek to Permit Issuance of Patents . to Bona Fide Settlers, with , Reservation of Coal Lands Delay Called Vnjnet. HURON, S. D., Aug. 13.-(Specfal Tele gram.) Among, those attending the con ference here to dlacuaa recommendations to the president and Secretary Balllnger for a modification of the rules governing an order withdrawing from homestead en try certain lands In Perklna and Harding countiea, claimed to be underlaid with lig nite coal, was Governor Vessey, United 8tates Senators Crawford and Gamble, Congressman Martin, Governor Burke of North Dakota, Logan Berry of Lemmon and D. P. Norton of Hettinger. The con ference resulted In sending to Washington last night Governor Vessey, D. P. Norton and Logan Berry with the following rec ommendations: . "We have today been in conference In tha city of Huron upon the urgent request of seventeen commercial and homestead cluba of the Lemmon land district In North Dakota and South Dakota to consider tha serious nature of the altuatlon In whloh tha homesteaders are placed In that dis trict, in part, as the result of the recent order of the department of date July 31, 1910, and executive order of July T, with drawing from entry, sale and disposal cer tain lands In said district and other dis tricts similarly situated. The altuatlon from the standpoint of the homesteadora la really critical. Drouths have . prevailed during "the present season, resulting In widespread crop failure, causing many more settlers than otherwise would have done so to offer commutation proof In or der to ' obtain proof title to their lands. Action upon several hundred of such proofs had been delayed heretofore In the depart ment and now, since the promulcatlon of tha executive order referred to, the local land officers have adopted the practice of suspending all homestead filings and proofs until definite Instructions ahould be laaued by the Interior department as to the scope and effect of the orders referred to. "We have considered the various acts of congress and tha aald order with great care and aa a result tnako the following sugges tions and recommendations: "First, that neither the order of with drawal nor the law under which it Is made Impairs the rights of bona fide homestead settlers. Such settlers have full right to make .commutation proofs and entry and to receive patents promptly, unless their lands aro classed as coal landa or are pro tested as containing coal, In which case they can accept a patent reserving the coal to the United States or can have op portunity to disprove the allegations of the coal character of their lands and Insist upon a' patent without reservation. "Second, that lands embraced In lawful homesteads Initiated prior to the date of tho order of withdrawal are expressly ex cepted from the force and effect ot the withdrawal order by the terms of the con servation aot of June 25, 1910, and are in no way. affected thereby, that there is no authority or Justification for the suspension of action on commutation proofs upon homesteads, but-they should pass promptly to approval and certificate of final entry unless tainted by fraud or other Irregu larity. . '-' ' "Third, that It Is manifestly unjust to bona-fide " homesteaders to auapend action on their homestead proofs If they are will ing to- accept the. limited patent with coal reservation,' as provided In the act of June 22, 1M0. It Is also unjust te delay Indefi nitely on final proofs protested for alleged coal character of the lands. Hearings should be provided promptly in euch casea tn order that tha nature of the patent in each case may be ascertained with the least possible delay. - "Fourth, that all final or commutation homestead proofs, where protests have been made aolely on the. ground that tha land contains coal and the homestead settlera have filed consent to accept title with coal reservation, should be releaaed Immediately from suspension and be passed for examina tion and approval for patent. As there are several . hundred cases of this character said to' be under suspension, we earnestly suggest that this recommendation be spe cially considered for Immediate action. ' "Fifth, we recommend also that the classification' cpntethplated by the presi dent's withdrawal order of July 7, 1910, should be made with all possible speed and that an adequate force for thla purpose should be put Into the field Immediately.

HOT BATTLE OVER A COMMA Cartons Controversy In Chaurcn of England Sheds Consider- ' able Ink. A curious controversy rages among Eng lish churchmen, and so bitter has It become that statesmen have been drawn Into It, and it threatens to provoke a debate upon the floor of the House of Commons. IM has to do not with the ooronatlon oath nor with any other important matter of faith and creed, but with the punctuation of the Loid's prayer. Should there be a comma tn the sentence beginning "Thy will be done," and, if so, where should It go? In other words, which of the following forms Is correct? Thy will be done In earth as it Is In heaven. Or Thy will be done, In earth as It Is In heaven. Or Thy will be done in earth, as it Is In heaven, To understand the controversy. It must be remembered that In England the privi lege of printing the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer Is a monopoly conferred by ancient statute upon the king's printer and the Ofcford and Cambridge university presses. In this cour try any printer Is free to publish-' an edition of the Bible and ta make any changes In the text, that he desires to make, but not so among the English. , A London Quttenberg who sought to Invade the monopoly of the three presses mentioned would see his Bibles seized and destroyed by the poltoe, and, In addition, he would probably get six months in Jail tor his pains. The idea Is that the monopoly safeguards the purity of the sacred text. Not long ago some one discovered, In an English library, a manuscript prayer book bearing , date of 16S2, and soon afterward representatives of the three presses met to examine this manuscript and to com pare it with the prayer book of today for the purpose of rectifying any errors or corruptions that the latter might reveal. This work accomplished, a new edition of the prayer book was issued, and at once a number of argus-eyed readers discovered that a comma appeared, for the first time, In the passage mentioned above. In pre vious editions , there had been no comma at all In the sentence, but now there was one after the word "done." Thus the row began, with a loud protest from Dr.' H. C. Beechlng, a canon of West minster Abbey. . Dr. Beechlng protested that' the comma destroyed the traditional rhythm of the sentence and thus outraged every English Christian. Going further, he showed that -there was no justification for It In the seventeenth century manuscript that the representatives of the three presses had examined, , for in that manuscript, though ' a comma actually appeared In the sentence, It was not after "done," but after "earth.". A flood of letters denouncing and defending the invading comma then began to appear tn the newspapers, and one day Lord Hugh Cecil, that tower of orthodoxy, arose In the Houae of Commons and de manded that -Winston - Churchill, who, aa home secretary, Is officially the secular heed ot the Anglican church,, explain the sacrilege. Mr.-- Churchill gingerly - side stepped. And so the controversy continues, with a great emission ot abuse and many letters In the newspapers. The foes of the comma threaten to take the matter to th courts, and even talk of besieging Parlia ment with a monster petition for redress, signed by millions of the 'orthodox. And meanwhile the friends of the comma defend It, alleging that It Improves not only the rhythm, but also the sense of the disputed passage. Baltimore Sun. Games Transferred to. Des Malnea.

Don't Attack the Burglar. "If a burglar breaks Into your house at night, don't try to cnrnr Mm," said an old headquarter policeman In commenting on the killing of Ira (J. Rawn, near Chl-csk-o, reported to have been done by a robber. "If the visitor awakens you make noise enough to scare him twiy, but don't go after him with a gun, Ten to one, ho'll Ket you before you can got him. It's better to lose a few rtollnrs' worth of gixvl than your life. I'm giving It t( you straight. The average man, wsked up tn the middle of the niKbt, always badly frightened, hitsn't a chfince agnlnst the man with nerve enough to brenk Into an occupied house Every burglar Is a potential murderer and will shoot to kill If you try to ontch him. And why not? He's got a big, long term In prison starlnn him In the fnce If he's nabbed, and he'll tnke a chanre on murder every time to get away. Iave the capture of such gentry to the 'cops.' They're paid to ha shot nt, you ain't." New York Tribune. POLITICAL ADVERTISING. R. B.
