A FEW NOTEWORTHY STATEMENTS OF FACT. Don Juan Aleman, five miles from Acayuc&n, has a grove of several hundred rubber trees of all age?, nine yeans and down, and Irregularly planted in coffee between, in healthy condition. Last year forty wibber trees were bled, producing 12. pounds of rubber (3V pounds to the tiec.) Rejolls Fernandez, at Acayucan, has 400 trees among coffee. Two years an bled fourteen trees, getting 100 pounds ot rubber (7H rounds to the tree.) At Palenque, a year ago. In the orchard of Mr. St. Clair, were trees hlx years old that had given ten pounds of rubber each, and at the time of the visit, nine mot.ths after tapping, the wounds of the bleeding had almost entirely disappeared.

Barnard Moses1, Ph. D., University of California, San Francisco, says: "The cost of coffee production in Mexico In general is between 8 and 10 cents per pound.

The "El Colona," published In Mexico, under date of Dec. 1?. 1S5S, in an exhaustive article on coffee culture, says: "A coffee plantation in bearing Is worth S.7V to $1,200 per acre, and is extremely difficult to buy at any price.

Episcopalians Don't AVant the Ontrast Presbyterian Made a Priest I'nlon Srmlnary SufTerlnc.

E pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. May 6. The Briggs affair, broken out In a different communion, but in the old form, is hurting Union Theological Seminary students. While almost every graduate of Prlnceon, Auburn and other Presbyterian seminaries ihls year haa received a caJl from Presbyterian or allied churches, only two Union men out of a class of twenty-eight have been able to find Presbyterian churches In want of their services. Negotiations between students nnd churches that were under way when tho latest Briggs controversy arose were suddenly broken off. Ia?t year eighteen of the members of the middle class, who wculd have been graduates this year, left for other seminaries In order not to be Union alumni. This year t-t-wn hive o far announced their intention of leaving. Five members of the present class have applUni In other communions than Presbyterian, only to find the same prejudice. The ptoof eerns to be overwhelming that members of church boards of control the country over do not take kindly to eo-alled higher criticism. There are known to be many pulpit committees, and those not confined to Presbyterian churches, who will not consider a Union graduate in connection ith a call, no matter how long surh graduate may have been out of the smn iry, and the number of such men, finding tcnelves without employment, who have gene into Iteformed, CongreatiDnal and even Episcopal communions In order to get sctntthing to do Is not small. Some members of this year's Union class have been turned down by a many as three presbyteries, and some have been accepted by a presbytery as far away as Cleveland, because that rre?btery Is known to contain a lar;;e contingent of liberal men. New. gossip concerning the present Briggs affair is Interesting. It Is said that w'len he goes abroad next week ho will be absent at last a year and a half, and so will not le at Union next year. He Is known to have a large amount of literary work on hand, his plans contemplating two new books. Hence, If Episcopalians have trouble with him as a. deacon they may. if Bishop Potter advances him to the priesthood at this time, have new trouble with him as a rrlest. Bishop Potter and Prof. Briggs are warm personal friend, and In to far as he can go on the line of friendship the bishop of New York may be expected to go. A canvass has been made among about one hundred leading Kplcopal priests, resident West and Kast. and that without regard to hlsh and low church predilections. The result is found to be a 3-to-l preponderance in favor of th rejection of Prof. Bricgs and a conviction that he ought not to be advanced to the priesthood In the Episcopal church. Borne of the expressions here referred to have been secured In confidence, and hence names cannot be given, but It may be said that the West, which is on the whole rather tlffer in Its churehmanshlp than the Kast. 1 mor largely against Prof. Briggs than the East. There li a large element of personality In the opposition. The conviction obtains that Profes.-or Briggs made trouble among Presbyterians; he will make trouble among Episcopalians." Precisely the tame lino of argument obtains In both communions." That argument Is well stated by a leading member of the Presbtyerian Church, perhaps the foremost man In the former BrltiKs prosecution. 'The whole dlffleulty." aya he. "Is the, lack of honesty on the-part of the?e higher critics, and especially on the part cf Professor Brig. In th JVesbyterUn Church the feeiirrg was that Profe.-xr.r iixUg cugfcC it he had changed hi views.

to get out of the-church, and, once out, to preach his new views as much as he pleased. Hut to remain in and preach them was neither honest to himself nor to the church. Precisely the sime condition obtains now among "Episcopalian. If I understand them. They do not object to Professor Briggs preaching and teaching whatever he think? to be. right. They do object to him professing oho thing and teaching another. Herein lies the peculiar Briggs quality, and herein obtains the personal lenient which formed so large a part of the controversy when it was a lre.-iytrian one, and cannot help forming an equally large part when transferred to an Kpiscopal platform." , . In splte of rccenf predictions and developments, it would seem that, there is much Presbyterian consecration In the land. The books have just been closed, and It is seen .that they gave last year about $l.sX)x for missions, home and foreign. On April 1 $20.000 was wanted by the foreign hoard to end the year even. It was secured and J10.(M to pparc. The home board began the year J167, in debt. It will be able to report at Minneapolis a clear account, both debt and current work. Some months ago, there being signs of weakening on the part of the churches, a special plan was put in operation. Under it well-to-do Presbyterians in St. LouK Pittsburg. Indianapolis, Philadelphia. Rochester, Washington. Baltimore aqd Cincinnati contributed assessments, some of them more than was asked for. The result is that both of the great Presbyterian boards, the home for the first time in many years, go to the General Assembly this year clear of debt and lth modest balances ahead. Both boards will, it is said, inaugurate new and long-delayed work. The Texas Preshyterian University has begun to teach. This university, which .is to be stanchly Presbyterian, is allied with neither the North nor the South body exclusively, and alms at a great foundation to be for the middle South what Princeton is for the East. It alms at an endowment of $2..(X. but has yet to reach Its initial SlOO.ooo. Its new departure Is an alliance with the Reynolds Presbyterian Academy, intended to be an academic department, ami In that the university la now ready to receive pupils. The General Assembly of the United Presbyterians, which is about to meet, is to consider rapers on the subject of Joining hands with the Associate Reformed Synod of the South, and the Holland Christian Church. Union being the order of the time, It Is considered likely that these and perhaps one or two other Presbyterian bodies may come together. The moderator of the General Assembly In question Is the Rev. Dr. R. G. Ferguson, president of Westminster College. Another matter to come up this year is an overture forbidding -the use of tobacco by members, eldrs and ministers of this Church. It cannot help be but Interesting to note that in United Presbyterlanism in Its first year as a body, there were 40S ministers. 3t congregations. yMl communicant, and contributions amounting to !.- ?sy. Last year there were W ministers, 9tl congregations. 12ii.2iS communicants, and the money contributtd reached $l,4r7,fO. Lutherans have on hand precisely the same problem us confronts the Church of England In England and the Protestant Episcopal Church In thli country. That problem is ritual ornonritual. The General Synod, which Ls one of the two largest Lutheran bodies, meets in York toward the end of this month. This General Synod is the oldest general Lutheran body In America, and contains the largest element in favor of English services in public worship. The nod and the other large Lutheran body, the Lleneral Council, have been exchanging fraternal delegates for two years past and will do so again this year. This exchange of preetings does not mean that the two bodies may unite, although there is a smoldering hope among Lutherans that some time all Lutheran bodies in America may come together, and even now each body may be said to be wllllnc; to have all other bodies come to It, provided the other body makes practically all of th sacrifices. The two questions at York will be whether all Lutheran Churches belonging to the synoi shall use Knplish in their services exclusively, and whether they shall lay more stress upon ritual. The International Young Men's Christian Association, at the head of whofe naval department Is Rear Admiral John W Philip, Is in receipt of a gift of y,uO upoi. the condition that an additional $100,000 will be secured. This JliO.OOO. which nobody In the association seems to doubt can be raised by the autumn or a littlo later, ia to b used la

developing the naval department work along the line of providing frhore homes for navvies and marines, q'hene homes are virtually Young Men's Christian Association buildings, though they do not make the religious feature prominent. Such homes were long ago provided by the English public for British enlisted men, and must become a feature of our own enlarged navy. Apart from' their moral influence they are designed to protect navvies and marines from the land sharks who look upon them as their own peculiar prey. When the money shall have been raised It Is purposed to offer to certain cities portions of it to found these homes on condition that these respective cities raise additional sums. The cities in which ultimately it Is hoped to be able to provide these places are Portland, Boston, New York. Newport News Key West. San Francisco, Honolulu. Havana and it may bo Manila. GEN.

News reached New Orleans yesterday of the finding of the body of a young girl, about five feet in height, on Chandleur Island several days ago. and the belief Is expressed that the body may be that of one of the young ladles who lost their lives In the mysterious explosion of the yacht Paul Jones some months ago. . . The body was found by Capt. Steve Push, of the lugger Slovinskl, who was cruising in the vicinity of Chandleur island. The Plaquemine Protector, published at Point a la Hatche, La., yesterday contained a communication from Ernest Felton, of Venice, La., in which ho says: "As we are rot aware of any persons having met such a fate. I send you this information, hoping that some one may be able to identify the bedy. Some persons have advanced the theory that this unfortunate person might be connected with the wreck of the 111-fated Paul Jones." The body found by Captain Tush was promptly buried, but the grave is plainly marked. The Paul Jones was owned by Louisville parties, and left there in February for Florida. Nothing was 6ver afterwards heard of her or her party,-hut many parts of the boat were picked tip, Indicating an explosion. Miss Taggart, 'of - this city, was one of the ill-Xated passengers.

SMALLPOX AT LIBERTY.

Health Officer Find a Deplorable Condition -There.

Dr. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, and Dr. T. A. Wagner, an expert smallpox diagnostician of this city, hurriedly went to Liberty early yesterday morning and found a pretty state of affairs. They found four cases of smallpox and that absolutely nothing has been done to check the disease. Socn after they got into town a man came riding down the street on a bicycle with his face covered with eruptions. The two physicians chased him home and found he was broken out all over with smallpox. When caught he was on his way to the postofflce. The citizens of Liberty have been uneasy for soma time lest the eruptive disease which was prevailing wai smallpox and one physician. Dr. J. EL Morris, held that it was and advised all people to keep away from those suffering. The city health officer. Dr. Kell. had taken no action and the county health . officer. Dr. Fosdick. claimed It waa rot smallpox. The Indianapolis physicians Xound lour fully developed cases. Charles. Seward, the bicycle rider, his son and daughter and a young man living near them,, named Donald, all have it. Stella Newbaum, .who hns the disease in Oreenneld, was a recent guest at the Seward home. . Dr.- Hurty is much wrought hp over the lnoorojxuaca v J-ba Ileal tU iliicrfe JJLa

called the Town Board together In the morr ng and had the health officers discharged. He further procured the pa?sa(;e of stringent resolutions regarding the disease and had all cases quarantined. Seward Erobably caught the disease in Cincinnati, ut he and the other patients have been permitted to go wherever they pleased and there have been no restrictions on them whatever. It is impossible to tell how much of a start the disease has secured. Dr. Fosdick accompanied the Inolanapolis men to the Seward home and laid his hand on the brow of one of the patients. He was scornful when ordered to wash his hands In an antiseptic soap, but Dr. Hurty told him if he did not do so he would be quarantined and he obeyed the order. Dr. Hurty says the citizens are indignant and he fears much trouble there. No Xetr Cae nt North Vernon. Special to the In4lar.aioIl9 Journal. NORTH VERNON, Ind..
