Police Brutality.

A young lady and her brother started
to leave the city in which they lived
for a day’s outing. They were thor-
oughly refined, respectable people. The
lady became ill and overcome with the

heat before they reached the train. She

decided to return home, at the same
7 She
could easily reach home alone. she do-
elared. Thus persuaded. the young
man went on to the train. The sis-
ter turned about and began to retrace
her steps. She is afflicted with a tend-
ency to faint and lose consciousness
at times. She began to feel worse and
worse that morning on the street and at
length fainted, falling upon the street.
A brawuy policeman hurried up and
had her dragged to a police station. She
recovered from her fondness, explained
the situation and told the officers where
she lived. Then she made a move to go
home. "No, you don't, " exclaimed tho
roundsman, grabbing her. He had her
locked up in a dirty room in the. jail
with a lot of the. lnwcst women prison
ers, who made the place hideous with
their blasphemy nnd (irrunkcnncss. The
astute polioenntn. without making the

slightest «mom is) Hm» whothvr the girl

told the truth, entered against her tlnI
charge of drunkenness. She had to stay
in the vile prison till ncxt day. when
.he found means of getting word of her
and plight to her family. Then she was
release! without a word of apology for
the indignity that had been put on her.

She ought to sun the city for damngos.
She could collect it. It is quite too
common for ignorant. callous policemen
to class all cases alike as "drunks."

The best of people may be taken ill on

the street at times. it occasionally hap-
pens that tines undiscriminnting other-rs
pitch a man into a cell as a drunken
case when he is sum-ring from a broken
head or other injury and is not intoxiv
catcd at all. And more than once such
a man has died in tho ml! when surgi'
cal attendance would hate snved his
life. A little decent hnnmnityon the
part of police oflicors would not be it
bad thing.

A Nineteenth Century Koren-at.

an. mm tot-ream which
the atom mun loot: as its
sun noes down is themovemsntof help
fuluess to one another that is spreading
among civilized men. in all history
there is no record of a time when peo-
ple generally were doing so much to
better . the lot of those less fortunate.
There is snobbery without end. There
is the childish aristocracy of wealth.
which thinks‘itself superior because it
has more of the merely animal comforts
of life. There are cheating and despot!-
ing as cruel. if not so violent. as any
that blotted the human record in the
days of the robber barons or the pirates
of the Spanish main. '

But never before did thinkers so often
sit down and strive to reason out meth-
ods of removing the inequalities of fox--
tune among civilized men. The model
tenement houses and cooking classes for
the poor, the cheap music, books and
summer and winter excursions briff
mankind nearer a level of intellige co
and sympathy than they ever were be-
fore. The college settlements are (me of
the most striking features of the move-
ment. Into a squalid, crowded, dirty
district in a great city go a few refined,
devoted men or women. They rent a
cheap suit of rooms. They live among
the poor oftentimes when they them-
selves have been accustomed to every
luxury that wealth can bring. They do
not patronize the people. They quietly
and with infinite tact make them feel as
equals and brothers and siswrs. They
bring cleanliness, light, flowers, music,
libraries and good food within reach of
those whom poverty and ignorance have
stunted and dwarfed. They teach bet.
ter, cleaner, finer ways of living. Espc
cially among the children of the poor
are these lessons learned. Such will be
lifted to a permanently higher level
from which their children that come
after them will never sink. There, too,
is grand «so-operative nflnnvnt of the
nineteenth century. teaching that co-
operation—not competition—is the rul-
ing principle of a true civilization. In-
stead of every man's hand being against
his neighbor’s, the hands all working
together in harmony will produce plen-
ty for all. Among the churches, too,
there are indications of downright hou—
est effort to apply the teachings of the
founder of Christianity directly to the
solution of social and economic prob-
lems. This is what Christianity is good
for.

A Rothschild Scheme.

The most gigantic financial scheme
on record is now contemplated by the
Rothschilds. They are cudcnvoring to
buy the goldficlds of South Africa
They control as it is all the gold of
Europe that is already in coin. They
now pmposv to control it in the mim-s
before it becomes money.

The goldticlds of the Transvaal will
this year yield $37, 500, 000. This is near-
ly three times what the amount was in
1891. The Ilothschihls now own a con
trolling interest in the fields of Kimber-
loy and fix the prices of diamonds for the
world. The Transvaal gold mines yield
annually a third of the earth's product.
If the Rothschilds can buy them, this stu-
pendous commercial concern will then
control one-third of all the annual gold
output. If they think the price of the
yellow metal is at any timo falling be-
low what they think profitable, they
can at once shut oil production. if,
again, all the nations should come to
the single gold standard, the Roths-
childs will how the money of l the
earth under their thumb. Liobkneclit,
the (icrman socialist, is watching with
profound interest the absorption of free
competition by private capital every-
where. He says it is the most important
step toward sociidism ever taken. The
fewer in numbers the private capitalists
are the easier it will be to deal with
them when the time comes.

A sour old bachelor takes a llcndisli
delight in calling attention to the fact
that there in one thing women cannot
do anyhow. and that is tio their inns-
ouiino crawls. ”They may wear ’om, ”
he says, "but thvy can't tio 'otn. I've
seen vmts on 'om, " ho colitinucd, wnrm-
ing up, “that in lo minutes Would drive
a man into imlu-cility if ho hnd to
went the like of ilwin. "

’l‘hn pt'llfiiml list. is lmginning to turn
the other way now. So it will be from
this on. The immense sums paid to sol-
diers of the Union army will not be a
sotltt'o of irritation to certain persons
much longer. They have imgnn to grow
loss. This your thorn were 92, 123 fewer
pt'nsitm claims than there were last year.

Posted trolley cars from cities to their
suburbs and bochon outlying villages
will soon he the coalition thing. They
will greatly facilitate the distribution
of malls in rural and somirurnl districts.
The system apparently could be applied
with advantage to star routes, where it
costs $1 a letter to deliver the mails.

 

A man was lately fined .25 in Chica~
go for publicly making fun of and
laughing at a lady bicyclist who wore
the bloomer suit on her wheel. If this
women's rights business keeps up, the
time will soon come when a man will
not even date to call his mother-in-law
‘ 'the old women. ”

Ordained Won...

The Coigregatlonnllat says: “Eight
women in all, up to this date, have been
ordained to the ministry in the Ba tint
denomination. But The Examine“ .
tint) refuses to recognize them undula-
tera, believing that there can be no proper
ordination without a duly qualified candl-
date, and that the teachings of the New
Testament excluded women from the min-
istry. The Cumberland Presbyterian gen
eral assembly, at its recent meeting, de-
cided that a woman who had been ordain-
ed by pruebytery was not a minister and
that her ordination was null and void. But
the assembly ludnrsed her as a lay evan-
gelist and commended horse a musesrated
and efllclent laborer. When a women do!
ing regularly the work of the ministry is
commended for it, while the title is with-
held from her, she need not be disturbed.
The place she is filling will come in time
to be generally recognized by its proper
name. The Congmgntionnlist has not ad‘
vocatcd the ordination of women to the
ministry. A few women have been or-
dained aa Congregational ministers, but
We think the instances will continue to be
ouly‘exccptionnl. But the teachings of the
New Testament which might be cited as
ficluding woman from the ministry would
exclude her also from the oflicc of Chris-
tian teacher, a [xisitlou which she is iilling
alleeptably in so many places and forms

that she long since silenced objections.”

Yet, in the same issue, The Congregation-
allst quotes with approval front Dr. Pat-lo
hurst's sermon declaring \vmnnn nuflrnge
to be “opposed to the teaching of the
Bible,” forgetting that the some texts are
quoted against Women’s Voting as against
women’s preaching and tcm:hlng.-Bostou

The Gmwtli of Electric Ballrtndn.

”The growth of the use of electricity
as a motive power is remarkable, " said
E. L. Carson. an electrician of Boston.
"Two years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cest
M, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract I knew to be given ran fromfitlio
to $1,500, and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men. it scours singular
that with such acoustnntly increasing
:iernnnd there should be such competi-
tion as to run prices down tonne-seventh
of what was paid slxyears ago. but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few iincs of strict railroad
in the country not run bycb-ctricity. "—
Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘

A Perfect Leaf.

The teacher of a large class in one of
the New York schools once said to the
pupils who were leaving for the sum-
mer: “I want each of you to search for
a perfect leaf and bring it to me when
school reopens. Reuicmbcr it must be
perfect—every tooth right. not to speak
of mold or blight or discoloration. not
a vein broken." They searched faithful-
ly, but none found a perfect leaf. though
they learned a great deal nbonl loaves
while they examined thcin thus careful-
ly.—Ncw York Time-s.

Impatience.

Impatience turns an ague into a fe-
ver, a fever to the plngue, fear into de-
spair, anger into rage, loss into madness
and sorrow to amazement. ——Jcrémy
