TUESDAY, JUNE 2:! 1899.
. GOOD EVENING.
In the case of, the Rev. W. M. Bar-
r0ws, of Greenwich, Conn, who mar-
ried Perry Belmont and the divorced '
wife of Henry D. Sloane, a few hours
after Mr. Sloane obtained a divorce,
the General Association of Congrega-
tional. Ministers of Connecticut ex-
hibited greater severity thanwas to be
expected from a body generally so-
liberal in its treatment of an indiscre-
tion that at‘its worst was only a mis-
take. Mr. Barrows expressed his re-
gret that he had consented to per-
form the marriage ceremony in this
case and said that he had been deceiv-
ed in regard to the divorce. Notwith-
standing this cxplanation the minister
was censured by the association, and
the censure was followed by a resolu-
tion against the marriage by Congre-
gational ministers of the guilty party
drastic as the canon recently adopted
by the Protestant Episcopal church.
It is a question whether a policy so
compulsory is wise in a body generally
so broad as the Congregationalists in
according to ministers the right of
judging for themselves in questions of
duty. It‘seems a narrow rule to make
the conscience of a minister in theper-
formance of a. marriageaceremony. . In
many cases there are reasons for mar-
can have no cognizance. It, does not
follow that every person adjudged
guilty in law is guilty in fact, and in
nearlyevery case where a divorced ,
woman, even when she has been ad-.
judged guilty, earnestly seeks a second
marriage, it is better upon social and
moral grounds that she should find-op-
portunity to marry again.
If it is to become the rule of all the
Protestant churches that guilt means
divorce without an opportunity for re-
marriage,however earnestly 'it is sought
a decree of divorce against an erring
woman will become as much a badge
of life-long dishonor as the scarlet,
letter on the breast of Hester Prynne.
It is easy to eat ry the public and en-
during punishment of sin too far. There
are cases, even when guilt has been
shown,that are capable of such explana-
tion as. to make the marriage of the
partyadjudgcd guilty better for all the
persons concerned than a prohibition
that is never to be annulled. It does
not seem that in such cases the com-
munity would suli'cr if the judgment
and conscience of ministers were not
bound by amule so drastic as that ad opt-
ed by the General Association of Con-
gregatinnal Ministers of Connecticut.
The day Congregationalism
placed its Hester Prynnes in the pillory
with the flaming A challenging. the
mockery and detestation of all to whom
it was commandedto be shown passed
away with the severities of Pu ritanism.
It does not seem wise to revive the
pillory and the scarlet letter for the
women of the twentieth century.

FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.
Howl ihe Women. of St. Mal-kind Epis-
copal Church in Chicago Get
Altar Decorations.
One church congregation in Chicago
collects 25,000 canceled postage stamps
'is .St. Mark’s Episcopalchurch, corner
street. These stamps are sold to a flor-
ist for eight-cents a. thousand, and in re-
turn be furnishes floWers for the altar
«every Sunday. For a long time the com—
mittee of ladies in charge of the church
decoration were dismayed at the sgant
appropriation for the purchase of flow-
ers. At last one of them hit upon the
plan of selling old postage stamps. En-
thusiasm 'was communicated to the
:Sunday school pupils. They visited ofm
fleets of vestrymen and prominent
church members downtown and got
them to save the postage stamps on
their correspondence. ‘ Ladies of the
church began to carry on 3 correspond-
ence with long-neglected friends for
the sake of accumulating canceled
postage stamps, and the habit is now
fixed, says the Inter Ocean.
"‘Why, I’d-gs soon think of throw-
ing away carrfare as to wade old post-
age stamps,” said one. ~‘
The stamps at first were counted, but
now an arrangement has been made
with the florist to take them by weight.
It is said that they are purchased by
foreign paper mills. Owing to the fine
quality of the material used by Uncle
Sam for stamps they make Over into an
excellent brand of paper.
SHE IS GROWING RICH.
Chicago \Vomnn’s Hands Bring Her
About $3.000 Yearly—She
Is a Masseuse.
Half the world is as ignorant of how
the other half makes its ’money as of
how it lives. There is a Chicago wom-
an, for instance, who earns with her
hands yearly sums that would make
the average brain worker envious. She
does not print, nor write, nor design,
nor make dresses, nor do any of the
things that one usually picks out as
woman’s work. She earns »nl1 this
money by giving massage to women.
She is not in any way an impressive
woman. She is of medium size and mid-
dle age. She gives one the idea of be-
ing in perfect health and of being kind-
ly and sympathetic. Otherwise there
is nothing noticeable about her. But
her patrons consider her a wonderful
woman. ~
Most of her workis done at the homes
to her establishment at about half the
home rate. She rubs a woman an hour
at each visit,’and her patrons'are posi-
tive that she imparts to them a tremen-
dous amount of vitality. ,
Of course, thereare many women en- .
gaged in massage: The, only remark: '
able thing about this pa cular Woman
is the amount vof__inoney s ' earns. Her

“At Port Arthur we leave ship, and,

“The total of rail travel is 10,700 miles,
and of water 8,900 miles, an aggregate
of 19,600 miles.
“An average of 4.0 miles an hour by
