MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE

REPORT OF TUE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL REVISION. COMMITTEE. Change Proposed lu Canons Elope incuts Frowned On Discipline for Divorced 1 rons. NEW YORK. June 1.-The joint commission on the revision of the canons of the Protectant Episcopal Church, which was continued by resolution of the House of Deputies in the General Convention of 1S9S, and concurred in by the House of Bishops, has just made public its report which will be submitted for approval to the next General Convention in San Francisco next October. Attached to the report, but not Incorporated in its text, is "the proposed canon on prohibiten! degrees," which revives the old discussion of the prohibition against marrying a dead wife's sister. This question has long vexed the lawmakers in England. Elopements of young persons are frowned upon in the following words: "No minister shall solemnize the marriage of any person who is a minor under law of the place of marriage unless the parent or guardian of such minor is present and consenting or shall have given written consent to the marriage if permanently resident In a foreign country." Another precaution against ill-advised marriages is taken. The canon says: "No minister shall solemnize a marriage except In the presence of at least two witnesses, the minister or the witnesses being personally acquainted with the parties." Remarriages by divorcexl persons is carefully considered thus: "No minister shall folemnlze a marriage between any two persons unless or until bv Inquiry he shall have satisfied himself that neither person has been, or is the husband of the wife of any other person then living; unless the former marriage was annulled by a decree of some civil court of competent jurisdiction for cause existing before such former marriage." Discipline for divorced persons Is laid down thus: "No person divorced for causa arising after marriage and marrying again luring the lifetime of the other party to the divorce shall be admitted to baptism or confirmation or received to tho holy communion except when penitent and separated from the other party to the subsequent marriage or when penitent and in immediate danger of death, but this canon ihall not apply to the innocent party to a divorce lor tiie cause of adultery." If the revisions submitted are adopted by the convention the canon law of the Episcopal Church will appear in a much simpler foim than is the case now.

The 500 employes of the Keystone colliery, at Hudson, Pa., went on strike yesterday because the company "docked" the outside men for the time the breaks was temporarily out of use. The International Printing Pressmen's Union has decided that its members shall not hereafter join any State national guard organization, on the ir round that they do not believe in utilizing that power in strikes and that they have no sympathy with State interference in labor troubles. At Cleveland. O., yesterday Judge Stone, in Common Picas Court, granted a temporary order restraining striking machinists fron Interfering with employes of the Cleveland Punch and Shear Company. The latter averred that their new men were being intimidated by the machinists who recently went on strike. In consequence of the refusal of the Hod Carriers Union of Denver to abandon the strike for higher wages owing to the action of the Building Trades Council the council has determined to exclude all unions of unskilled labor. The Hod Carriers' Union will join the State Federation of Iabor, and a war between the various labor organizations may ensue. Representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Iron Workers and the Manufacturers Association held a conference at Cleveland yesterday 'behind closed doors for the purpose of adjusting the wage scale for the ensuing year. It is generally believed the matter will be settled by a compromise. About 40.no1) men will be affected by any agreement that may be reached. President J. H. Patterson, of the National Cash Register Company at Dayton, yesterday Issued a formal statement that the concern would open for work this morning.

A H0LL0WAY INTERVIEW. Consul tirnernl Tnlk Aliont American and Iltiftftlnn Fcellnsr. New York Journal's Paris Cable. W. R. Holloway, United States consul at St. Petersburg, said to the Journal correspondent to-day: "Americans are in the highest possible favor in Russia. "We can get anything: we want. The Russians favor us more than other people, and they don't like the English. "Without going to the extent of ostentatiously wearing the American Hag, it would be wise for Americans to let their national- J uy oe Known ana not allow tnemseives to be taken for Englishmen. When the men take a drink they try to hug us unfortunately, the women tion't drink. "Russia is the most religious country in the world, outside of Ireland. Tolstoi isn't a favorite nor a prreat power in Russia; his right with the church weakened him. He would like to be exiled, but the government declined to make a martyr of him. Once I asked him would he go on a lecture tour in America, and he replied that money should not be spent in travel, nor at cards, nor upon drink, nor the frivolities of women; it should be given to the poor. "All Russia is praying that the next imperial baby be a boy. Should such be the case there won't be a prisoner in Russia next day; the Czar will have pardoned them all. "Only three American women have married Russians. One of them denies her nationality, and the Princess Cantacuzene constquently cuts and ridicules her. We are all very fond of our princess. She is a. j?riat favorite in Russian society, and cuts as wide a swath socially as does her aunt, Mrs. Potter Palmer, in the United States,. When the princess Roes to her countrj seat she is waited upon by thirty servants. Her American spirit revolts against such personal retinue, but her social status exacts It. She hasn't been presented at court, because she was ill with typhus when the presentation was to have taken place. "Russia likes to trade with the United States. In connection with the Siberian Railway alone Russia shipped $7Rt.' j.fcxj worth of goods which otherwise would have gone to England. CTIUSG WROX; SHOP 3IETIIOI1S. Tonic Criticism a Help to Uusinea Establishment!. Xew York Evening Post. A unique calling has developed itself in this city. It may be called that of the business doctor. The business doctor is a man who goes to business houses, and Is allowed to examine thoroughly the whole workjns of the "machine." He finds out. for example, how the letters are opened and distributed, how orders are executed, how many people are employed, what is the exact nature of the work they do, what are the wages they are receiving, and so on. In the case of a large concern he may need a week to get a full possession of the facts, and he charges at least JG0 a day for his work. When he has completed his investigations he draws up a report, and adds to it a number of practical suggestions. III3 object is to prevent waste, and especially to check the constant tendency in worklng expenses to rise year by year without any compensating advantages. One of the largest department stores In the city employed the services of a "doctor" recently. He found that the partners came down about ten and opened th letters together. As their correspondence was enormous, the opening of the letters necessitated a waste of much valuable time. He. therefore, advised that a woman, who was to be paid a salary of $1.000 a year, should be engaged to open the letters before the partners arrived, and sort them, allotting each partner his own letters so that when he came down to business he might deal with them immediately. This recommendation was adopted, and has been found to save a great deal of precious time, as was intended. He also advised the rearrangement of the duties of the assistants. Some were receiving too much, others too little. Nearly all of his recommendations on these ixjir.ts were also adopted, and the result is that the Arm Is now getting its work done at a lower cost than before. Waste has been considerably checked, and efficiency has been proportionately increased. The business doctor earnestly advocates good payment to really efficient people, and would have the test of ethciency stringently applied year after year. He condemns strongly the practice of automatically raising salaries according to length of service, irrespective vof the quality of .the service. Of cour.-e, lie confines bis work to giving recommendations. Whether these recommendations are adopted or not Is no eonctrn of his, so long as he receives h!s fee. Snath African Gold Ontput. Springfield Republican. The May production of gold In the Rand district of South Africa is reported as about 7.4'JO ounces. This indicates that mining is still far from having been resumed on a scale worth mentioning; for the production in May, 1SW, before the war broke out, was 411.933 ounces, and in August 459.710 ounces. Present work on the mines appears to be confined largely to pumping them out and flxln up the machinery, and even this work is seriously interfered, with by the lack of native labor, which has been scattered by the war, and the necessity of maintaining on th part

While Mr. McKinley declaration with regard to the third-term talk is calculated lo relieve 1.1m of annoyance and embarrassment, he was very Inconsiderate as to a certain few gentlemen. These particular ones for whom Mr. McKinley has manifested so little consideration are the agitated "antls" who have heretofore felt It their duty to speak of him as "the Emperor." Take Charley Towne, for inKlance although Charley, come to think of it, is no longer in jontics, but In oil. Take Mr. Bryan. How can he expect to be regarded seriously when he speaks of "the Ilmperor" to people who have Just read the President's declaration? This Ia certain to le exceedingly embarrassing to thesa anxious gentlemen, and we must admit that the President has been very InconsideraU of them. No Credit to 3Ir. Ilryan. Washington Times (Dem.) Mr. Bryan adds nothing to the weight or dignity of his position by such suggestions as his recent one with reference to the nomination of Justice Harlan for the presidency by the Democratic party. Not only is it too soon to begin to talk pbout candidates, hut there is nothing ia the situation as thus far unfolded which g-ves political propriety to the suggestion. It indicates a desire on Mr. Urvan's part to get in a dig at those Gold Democrats who have twice aided in defeating him. rather than to argue seriously the great questions now before the country. On.
