THE DEAD WIFE’S SISTER. The Defeat of the Proposed Change in the English Marriage Laws. History of the Measure—Mr. Chamberlain's Advocacy of the Bill and Its Opposition by the Bishops. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Jouraal. London, June 30. —The rejection by the House of Lords, on its third reading, of the bill to legalize marriage with a deceased wife’s sister, after its second reading had been sanctioned, is an event which, besides being almost unprecedented in the legislative customs of the nation, strikes such a cruel blow at so large a class of her Majesty’s subjects and presages such great changes in the English constitution, that I am sure people in the United States will be glad to have an explanation, both of the event itself and of its probablo consequences. This bill has had a strange history from the first. A measure of a similar character has been passed by the House of Commons seven different times, and just as often has the upper chamber rejected it. In the present instance the proposed legislation originated in the upper chamber, and the second reading was consented to a couple of weeks ago by a majority of seven. A year before, by a majority of three, the same body had refused acquiescence in the measure. At the time of the bill's passage for second reading there was a full house present, and the majority, though small, was considered fair and decisive. The opponents of the bill had fought hard to crush it, and, not being able to do so, they were deeply mortified; but that they would show such an utter disregard of all precedents as to continue the conflict and seek to snatch a victory at any future stage of the bill’s progress, was not expected at first by any one, not even by those gentlemen themselves. This surprise movement •was evidently an after-thought, and it is interesting to note what gave rise to it. Contemporary with the second reading of this bill in the Lords a great demonstration was held at Birmingham in honor of John Bright. The speeches made bn that occasion, of which my letters have already apprised your readers, will be long remembered and promise to have a very wide influence. A peculiar interest is given to what Mr. Bright said, by the fact of his having since been hauled over the coals for it in the House of Commons, and his addresses then made 'possess the additional and very sad interest of being in the nature of a valedictory, for he had just announced that he must leave the platform hereafter to younger men. But Mr. bright was the setting sun at that great demonstration, there was also a rising luminary present, and the beams of light shot forth by this new orb have penetrated further and have produced greater results, so far, than those reflected by the one now sinking in eventide glory toward the horizon. Mr. Bright referred almost wholly on that occasion to the past, but Mr. Chamberlain horoscoped the future. He announced the programme of the advanced liberalism of the day, the cardinal features of which were manhood suffrage and the disestablishment of the church. AN AFFRONT TO THE HIGH-CHURCH PARTY. Incidentally, too, Mr. Chamberlain cast some reflections on royalty. Now, this bold man is one of the most influential members of Mr. Gladstone’s cabinet, and is admitted by even his worst enemies to be in the line of Speedy succession to the premiership. For an ordinary member of Parliament to have spoken in such a strain would have been bad enough, but for a man of commanding influence, and who in a sense represented the government, to so speak, was simply intolerable, and the high church party resolved to have revenge. What specially rankled in their breasts was the threatened revolution of disestablishment. In many ways latterly has the influence of the church been undermined. and here, thought they, in this new marriage law is another wedge of separation. To jreaoh tips conclusion was the easiest thing 'imaginable from their st md-point. for jn jjte first place this bill is favored by all dissenters, and all dissenters,.as a matter of course, favor the severance of church and state. Then, the principle of the bill contravenes the stipulations of the Book of Common Prayer, and anything that detracts from the authority of that oracle lessens by so much the power of the eccleciasticism it represents. Besides, there was a provision in the bill which gave dissenting ministers an apparent advantage over the clergy in the celebration under certain circumstances of the marriage ceremony. To be sure this was a conscience clause inserted for the special relief of said clergy, and was a clause, too. which, had the representatives of the church been willing, would have been gladly dispensed with by the supporters of the bill; but they were not willing—neither content to have it taken out nor satisfied while it remained in. How could they be. in the nature of things? After having fought for dear life for every inch of privilege that the legislature has compelled them to share from time to time with their non conformist brethren, was it to be expected they would consent willingly to yield to the latter anything looking like a palm of official superiority? Could those whoso long barred the chapel minister from the church graveyard, and cruelly usurped from him the sad comfort of uttering the final prayer over the dead of his own flock, and who for so many years kept from him the privilege of marrying his own people, and allow him to perform that ceremony even now only when a registrar is present to see that no wiong is done—could such as these be reasonably looked to for concessions such as this new marriage law contemplated, which would place the chapel ahead of the church in certain cases, and give the minister what might, at least, seem like a superior legal right over the parson to celebrate a particular clnes of marriages 9 This was certainly not to be expected, and it was viry easy for the church party to persuade themselves that tins was another point at which the bill menaced the dignity and security of the establishment. Hence, touched to the quick by the Birmingham pronunciamento, they resolved to renew' the battle and to strike another blow for ehurchlv domination on the occasion of the third I reading. It was a desperate resort, and, I some think, as unscrupulous as desperate; but men in desperate straits will leave no j stone unturned to accomplish their object, and they are r.ot always particular about keeping within strict lines of honor. A MENACE TO THE THRONE. That fear of this growing sentiment for the separation of the church from the state was really the predominant motive of the opponeifts of this measure, and the one thing particularly which incited them to the final attack, is abundantly evidenced in many ways. The tenor < ' tin Speeches shows 't The Duke of ManbwH in'K, in moving

the rejection of the bill specially emphasized j that portion of Mr. Chamberlain’s speech j which appeared to be disrespectful to the royal family. His argument was that not only church but the thror.o was menaced, and that the two must stand or fall together. But Mr, Chamberlain merely said with reference to royalty that none of tbal class were ■ present to do honor to Mr. Bright, and that j “nobody missed them.” This was very mild , in comparison with what h* said against the church, and when it is remembered that the royal family are more solicitous than perhaps any one else in the realm to have this bill passed the strained reasoning which would convert the bill into a blow at the Queen’s authority appears in its true light, and i9 seen at once to be a groundless assumption. The Queen's sons, it should be said in this con- j nection, stood by the bill to the last. They j were all in at the death, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Albany being present and j voting, and the other two pairing with ab- j sen tees. The failure of the measure will be ' felt ver} r keenly in the royal household. The j effect it will have on the mooted match between the Prince of Hesse and the Princess Beatrice can only, of course, be conjectured. If, however, the affair is one of love we can j scarcely imagine that it will be broken off, j nor yet can we suppose for a moment that ! the royal pair will commit the grave scandal of marrying while the law continues to forbid thorn. They must bide their time, as they no doubt will, and seek solace in their isolation by thinking of the good time coming. But the strongest proof of the chnrchlv animus of the opposition is in the attitude and uncompromising hostility of the bishops, the lords spiritual, as they are called. If these gentlemen can only he relied upon to fight the devil with half the zeal and determination with which they have antagonized this innocent marriage law amendment, we may expect shortly to hear the old fellow cry for quarter and to see a British millennium ushered in. It is, in fact, solely at the door of these ecclesiastical legislators that the bill’s defeat must be laid. But for their votes the measure would have received a majority at its second reading, not of seven merely, but by twenty-seven, and notwithstanding that many of its supporters were absent, it would have had twelve majority, but for them, when its third reading was moved. Thus, as the Daily News points out, this score of lords spiritual have accomplished the defeat of a measure which the voice of the country demanded, which two-thirds of the members of the House of Commons were ready and anxious to vote for, which the peers temporal have favored by a considerable majority for a number of years, and which but two weeks before was passed by a fair majority of the entire peers, including both the lords temporal and themselves. By this act the bishops have exercised a veto power such as, in the view of the News, not even the sovereign of the realm would have dared to exercise, for the veto power vested in the crown has fallen into practical disuse, the Queen having come to feel, doubtless, that to cross the will of the two houses on any subject would be almost as pinch as her place was worth. The paper referred to goes oil to say, with reference to these bishops: ‘They are not usually found -in their places when great measures affecting the welfare of the people are under discussion. The seats apportioned to them are often empty, or but barely occupied, when questions which greatly concern the highest interest of the nation are undergoing a critical division; but on a matter in which they think the wishes of the nation are out of harmony with the presumed law of the church, their zeal is awakened and their votes are ready. One great objection to the law which the bishops have retained is that it produces great social evils among the poor, and those evils will henceforth be chargeable to the lords spiritual. Such persons are anomalies. Their position ana power are used not for national but for sectarian, or, at any rate, for ecclesiastical purposes; and the nation will seriously consider whether they should not be entirely limited to their pastorial duties in their own diocese.” A DEMAND THAT MEETS A PROMPT RESPONSE. What adds weight to the utterances of the News is that it is the organ of the present government. Its leading articles are inspired by Mr. Gladstone, and some think he occasionally writes for it. This, however, is not likely, inasmuch as he is paid a large retaining fee as an exclusive contributor to Nineteenth Century. The demand of this paper that the bishops shall be deposed from legislative power will meet with a response from the country such as may perhaps surprise their lordships. Calls for public indignation meetings are already out and there is to be sharp firing, we are told, all along the line. Should the extreme zeal of these ops cost them their seats the world will have another illustration of the old adage that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad, and that event may be followed by other great changes. I suppose really that in the course of a few decades the House of Lords itself will be swept away, or will at least be modified into a representative body after the fashion of the United States Senate. This is the radical programme certainly, and if radicalism is the backbone of the Liberal party, and if it be true that the radical members of the cabinet are its controlling force, which is now generally admitted by all careful observers, what changes need be accounted impossible? Meanwhile the three or four hundred thousand interested persons who are once more relegated to a state of bastardy or bigamy, after havirig had one foot for a couple of weeks inside the boundary lines of legitimate wedlock and proper parentage, and the other equally interested, and even more interesting persons who are on the edges of the matrimonial cliff without the legal right as yet to plunge themselves over, must bide their time, like the Prince and Princess will have todo. They will not have to wait until the House of Lords has been abolished, nor, necessarily, till the peers suiritual have been squelched. A little agitation in the Commons and among the people, and a few more grains of common sense, driven by the force of public opinion into the omniums of those who sit in the upper chamber, aiul in a year from now' all will be so lovely and the matrimonial goose of the deceased wdfe’s sister be hanging in such altitudes of popular favor that every unmarried lady in the country will begin to wish she were in the shoes of that fortunate individual, while the effect on delicate wives, who are in danger of leaving marriageable 9isters behind them, will he such, no doubt, as in some instances to save the ancient husband not only doctors’ bills but funeral expenses and tiie trouble of beginning his courting over again. In the British House of Lords there are fourteen Roman Catholics. By a strange coincidence, seven of these supported this bill and seven opposed it. and a discussion is now in progress as to which of these best served their church. Those who opposed the bill contended that'such a course was demanded from the fact of the church law opposing such matches, but the others allege that while the law of the church condemns such marriages they are nevertheless often permitted by special dispensation, and these justify their support of the bill by the desire to give to the parties to such unions, and to their offspring, the civil and legal rights of which the law in its present state deprives them.

THIS ARCHBISHOP’S FUNERAL. The Most Solemn Services Ever Seen in tlie Cincinnati Cathedral. Cincinnati, July 11.—The funeral of Archbishop Purcell, one of the most solemn services ever seen in the cathedral which he built, occurred at 9 o’clock. Crowds were at all the gates seeking admission with cards previously distributed. The body of the cathedral was soon filled, and then others were admitted to stand In the side aisles. The center aisle was kept clear. Seats were provided on the platform for the press. The body of the dead Archbishop lay as placed yesterday in the casket at the head of the main aisle, with the face visible to those in front. Tlie interior of the cathedral is heavily draped. Bishop Elder, coadjutor of the deceased Archbishop, was the celebrant of the occasion. Rev. W. J. Halley, assistant president; Rev. J. C. Albrech. deacon; Rev. J. B. Murray, sub-deacon; acolytes, Rev. H. Ft mending and Rev. F. X. Dutton; bookbearer, Rev. P. A. Quinn; candle-bearer, W. H. Sidley; censer-beafer, Rev. Edward Hickey; master of ceremonies, Rev. H. Mueller; Rev. Thomas S. Byrne, J. F. Schoenboeft, Pall-bearers—Rev. J. J. O’Donohue. Rev. B. Menge. Rev. CharlesHahne, Rev. H. Kemper, Rev. W. W. O’Rourke and Rev. R. F. Doyle. Fully one hundred priests in white, in addition to the bishops and archbishops in purple, were on either side of the main altar, while the priests selected tor chanting occupied the main aisle. It was 9:20 when the organ proclaimed the beginning of the ceremonies. During the robing of tlie celebrant, a bass solo was sung by T. J. Sullivan. Then followed the solemn ritual of the pontifical requiem mass. Tlie musical portion consisted of an introit, by a male chorus: a gradual, by chanters; Dies Iras, from Mozart’s Requiem, by quartet and chorus; Domino Jesu, by a male chorus; Sanctus Benedictus, Agnus Dei, by a male chorus: communion, by the chanters; line Absolutine, by chanters and bishops; Miserere, by a male chorus —the whole under the direction of J. A. Brojckhoven. The music was of a high order of merit, and was rendered with deep feeling. The elevation of the host was marked by a most profound devotional attitude throughout the whole of the crowded cathedral. At 11 o'clock, mass being ended, Bishop Gilmour delivered the eulogy. He began by reference to the high office and high responsibilities of the priesthood. There were two orders in society, human and divine. Icings and magistrates represent the human; the priesthood represents the divine. This gives this scene its significance. The Bishop gave a brief biographical sketch of the life of the deceased, dwelling with emphasis on the severe labors performed bv the Archbjshop.in the early years of his appointment to the diocese ot Ohio, and showed what a mighty power the dead prelate wielded in the Catholic growth in the West. Fourteen priests of fifty years ago had increased to 4,800, the sixteen churches to 500, and the G,OOO Catholics to 500,000. Archbishop Purcell, it was true, was aided in producing these results, but to him belongs the honor of outlining the great work. Speaking of his financial failure the speaker said it was commented on most widely, but not even his bitterest foe ever charged Archbishop Purcell with personal dishonesty or evil intent. Poor he came into the world, poor he lived and poor he went out of the world. The pathway of his whole life was strewn with works for the poor. When passions have calmed and impartial history is written, Purcell’s memory would rise far above the shadow of reproach. He mistook the principles on which business must be conducted, but he was not guilty of wrong. He closed with a touching and eloquent tribute to the personal character and moral worth of the deceased, during which many were in tears. The sermon was followed by the solemn ceremony of absolution, repeated by each of the five archbishops present. It was 12:45 o’clock when this was ended, yet the house remained packed as at the beginning. The procession then formed, marched through the streets, returning by the cathedral, where it was joined by the hearse containing the remains of the Archbishop and proceeded to tlie depot to take the train to St. Martin’s. The funeral train bearing Archbishop Purcell’s remains consisted of four cars, carrying Archbishops O'Connor and Gallagher, Archbishop-elect Elder, and lifty priests, together with about one hundred others. All along the route great crowds were gathered. The train stopped at the principal stations, the casket was ope net!, aim the people permitted to view the body. Arriving at Westboro, where tlie body had to be taken from the railroad, there was a great number of people in vehicles in waiting to join the procession to the convent of St. Martin’s. The body will lie in state there to-night, and the burial take place to-morrow. THE TELEGRAPHERS. 1 A Positive Statement that a Demand Is To Be Made for Redress. St. Louis, Mo., July 11.—It is asserted here, to-day, by parties usually well informed that the executive committee of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers held a meeting at New York last Monday, at which they discussed the grievances ot the brotherhood and formulated a demand for a redress of them, which will be presented to the general managers, or other high officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company next Monday. If this demand is not acceded to within forty-eight hours after its presentation t ) the company it is alleged that a strike will be inaugurated, and every member of the brotherhood quit work. This executive committee is composed of one representative of each of seven districts into which the brotherhood is divided, and it is said to have absolute power to act in this matter. The Strike Deport Unfourrted. Pittsburg, July 11.—Thomas Hughes, secretary of the Telegraphers’ Brotherhood, said to-day that the report that a strike of telegraphers is imminent is unfounded. “We have not decided to demand an increase in wages, or anything else,” he said, "and if any demand should be decided upon, it will not be made secretly, and no attempt will be made to take snap judgment on the telegraph companies.” Other persons assert that the strike will take place next week, but Hughes’s statement is generally regarded as authoritative. The Western Union Isnties New Utile* for Its Goverment. New York, July 11.—In reference to recently published reports of contemplated changes in hours of labor, salaries, etc., of | employes of the Western Union Telegraph Company, careful investigation develops the following facts: The company has had j in contemplation for some time theadoption of new rules for the management of its business. The committee having the matter in charge have been holding meetings every week for the past three months, and have finally made their report, which has been adopted by the company. One of tlie most i important rules in the new code is that dej terinining the hours of duty and manner of 1 paying for extra service, the settlement of

which question has heretofore been left 1 largely with the superintendents of the j company, whose practice has varied accord- ! ing to the requirements of the business, af- | fected by climatic and other considerations. ; The following is the rule adopted: At all independent Western Union offices, which may ho required to Keep open nil dayon Sunday, nine hours actual service in the day, six days in tlie week, amt seven horns actual service at nighr. seven nights in the week, will constitute the daj ’ work. All service in excess j of the above named hours, including Sunday, will he regarded as extra, and be paid for at the regular salary, on the basis of seveu hours to a day. The above order was issued to-day, and is interpreted by some of the operators as having been forced from the company by the fact that the Brotherhood of Telegraphers had demanded certain concessions and threatened a general strike unless their demands were at once complied with. Tlie officers of the company state that no demands have been made upon them of tlie kind indicated, and it was necessary to issue the present order now, because its operation affects the accounts of the company for the current month. It was intended to have the new rules take effect at the beginning of the company’s liscal year, July 1, but the printing of the rules had been delayed unavoidably until tins time. THE CIVIL SERVICE. Under tlie New Law in tlie City of Philadelphia. Philadelphia Times. Common Council Chamber would not hold half the applicants, and the forty-four men who went to serve the government in the custom-house were sent into the Select Council Chamber, and the fifty-two who may some time in the years to come fill clerkships in the postoffice or in the departments at Washington were turned adrift until 1 o’clock. The batteries were then turned on the men who want to carry letters. J. M. Gregory, of the Civil-service Commission, had charge of the examinations in this class. Os the 100 men who were examined in this class all were young men, and three were colored. The work of examination began by each candidate filling out a blank, giving his name, residence, place and date of birth, education, experience in business and in tlie public service. Having finished this biographical and historical sketch without a serious mishap, the class was ready for a little exercise in literature. Dr. Gregory read slowly fifteen lines from the civil-service act, the candidates copying it upon blanks as he read. They were then directed to write from memory the names of fifteen States and cities of this country. The States and cities were named without muofc difficulty, but one of the examiners who moved about among pupils, said the spelling of nearly all the applicants was bad. TWefi more of the civil-servicC act was copied, this time from the printed copies before them. This exhaustive and arduous literary feat accomplished, they were immediately plunged deeply into the mysteries of arithmetic. Several simple problems in addition and subtraction were given out, and the I unfortunates brightened up under the ini- j pression that the arithmetic ordeal would j not be as trying as they expected. This de- ! lusion was destroyed when the examiners propounded the following conundrums: “When board cost $3.76 per week, what will it cost from March 15 to July?” “How many times is seventeen cents contained in $10,000.10?” “There are $703 to be divided between nine men and three boys. The boys are to have $25.50 each; the residue is to be equally divided among the men. What is each man’s share?” They wrestled with these problems an hour before all the answers were in. The sufferings of the embryotic carrier were, however, slight when compared with the sufferings of those who aspire to clerkships in the postoffice. In this class were seven young and pretty women, whom the examiners said were the most proficient scholars of the lot. Oue examiner predicted that all the girls would pass. The fractions, however, played havoc with the masculine applicants. They counted the cost of twelve ounces of salt pork at $13.87 X A per barrel, and computed the interest on fabulous sums of money deposited in banks by officeholders, who only retained 2J4 per cent, of the princi pal. These and many other wonderful things they did, not to speak of the townrf and rivers and railroads and States itlwy named, and did or did not locate. One young man said: “If ii is as hard work as this at Washington I don’t want an office.” The examination of candidates for places in the custom-house was carried on tiie select chamber. L. I). Thoman, of tlie civil service commission, conducted the examination, assisted by the committee from the cus-tom-house. The geographical Knowledge is required to be of different character from that of a letter-carrier. The latter need only know' the names of fifteen States and cities, but a future employ of the custon-house must know and be able to write the names of an equal number of seaports and navigable rivers in the United States. More than this they were expected to tell how the water of Lake Michigan gets into the ocean, besides stating the term of office of ten presidents. The essential characteristics of a republican government and the functions ot its departments and the definitions of the various parts of speech came next in regular order. Not least among the tests of statesmanship applied is in that provision which says: “Write a letter, addressing it to the President, and giving your views, as far as you are willing to express them, in regard to the duties and responsibilities of an officer in the public service which you seek to enter.” All were willing to express their view's except one, and lie informed “Dear Mr. Arthur” that the writer was trying to come up to the requirements of the civil-service law, and said if ever he got an office he would thank the President personally. Some of the letters were addressed to plain “Air. President,” and some to “His Excellency Honorable Chester Allen Arthur, President of the United States,” while one started off'with charming familiarity, “Dear Chester.” All these applicants. whose average is sixty-five out of a possible 100, will have their names placed on the register of available material with which to fill up chinks and crannies in the public service.
