PARISH COUNCILS.
A Probability That the Bill Will Be
Passed in a Month.
Copyright. 1891, by the United Press.
London, Jan. 13.—Unless the House of
Lords disregards the compact made in the
House of Commons and adopts an inde
pendent course on the parish councils bill,
parliament and the country will see the
measure completed about the middle of
February, and then will enter upon a
period of comparative repose.
The denial of Arthur Balfour, leader of
the unionists in the commons, that his
Compromise with the government on the
parish councils bill binds the peers in any
way, is only a polite fiction.
THEORY or THE PEERS.
The theory is that the leaders in the
commons cannot commit the peers to any
course of action. In fact, no compact be
tween the government and the chiefs of
the opposition in the commons is ever
reached without the assent of the leaders
in the upper house. Lord Salisbury
assented explicity to Mr. Balfour’s
arrangement with Premier Gladstone.
What caused Mr. Balfour to deny that
the lords must accept the compromise,
was the omission to consult with the
Duke of Devonshire and Joseph Chamber
lain, the liberal unionist leader, who re
sent the agreement made behind their
backs. Taking advantage of the conserv
ative discontent with Mr. Balfour’s con
cessions. Mr. Chamberlain is inciting
among the unionist peers opposition to
the passage of the bill unless it he ma
terially altered.
THE LONDON VESTRIES.
The clause placing London vestries
under the operation of the bill, must be
withdrawn, he says, and the unionist
peers regard this proposal as most com
mendable. The archbishop of Canter
bury will try to insert in the bill provis
ions keeping the parochial and other kin
dred charities within the control of the
church. An attempt will be made also to
modify the allotment clauses in the in
terest of the landlords. The liberal un
ionist peers will lead this attack on the
measure, with the covert purpose of de
stroying its efficacy.
THE QUESTION OE THE HOUR.
The great question is: ’’Will the peers
dare to assume the responsibility’ of an
attitude so offensive to popular senti
ment!” It now seems more probable that
after much vehement talk they will al
low the bill to pass without essential
changes.
The Spectator, after analyzing the situ
ation from the liberal unionist point of
view, reaches the conclusion that Lord
Salisbury will not risk another coliison
with the House of Commons, as it would
imperial the existence of the House of
Lords.
HARMONY IN_THE CHUROH.
The Northern and Southern Presby
terians to Work Together.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 13.—The con
ference of committees from the northern
and southern Presbyterian general assem
blies adjourned to-day after a most har
monious am} successful meeting. Practi
cal results of far reaching importance to
ail interests concerned were attained
after patient consideration. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted before ad
journment:
The northern and southern Presbyterian
churches in the United States of America
are agreed:
1. That we recognize the solemn duty laid
upon us by our common Lord to work for the
evangelization of the negroes in our country.
2. We bedeve this work can be tetter done
if we work together than as at present sepa
rated.
3. We.agree that the entire work now done
by both assemoliea shall hereafter be con
ducted together, and to the work so conducted
we pledge our continued confidence, prayers,
contributions and moral support.
4. In view of the fact that the work done by
the northern church has been conducted un
der the corporate name of the Board of Mis
sions for Freedmen of the Presbyterian
Church in the Presbyterian Church of the
United States of America, tn whose name,
porperty is held and to which bequests have
been made, and It being deemed advisable for
legal reasons that the future work of the two
churches should be conducted under the same
corporate power it is agreed that said board
constituted as hereinafter provided shall
manage and control the work of the t\#o as
semblies, and shall make aimual reports to
both assemblies.
5. Said board shall consist of twenty-two
members, fifteen of whom have been or may
he appointed by the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United States of
America, according- to the existing law, and
seven others who shall be selected by the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church of
the United .States, and IT vested-rights or
charter requirements shall ifihke’ft ndies
sary, the Presbyterian church in tluFUnlted
States of America shall make legal and effec
tive the selections of the said seven members.
8. We make these mutual concessions be
cause we hope we can unitedly do better the
master’s work for these people, the brethren
from the south changing their present re
sponsibilities and power over a limited work
to take part in the much larger and more tm
portant work to be done by both churches,
the northern church inviting the assistance
and co-operation of their brethren from the
south because of their local knowledge and
experience, and their vital personal interest
In the success of these efforts to christianize
and elevate this race, who are all around
them, touching them at every point.
7. That Rev. Dr. W. G. Young and Gen. R. D.
Johnston be appointed to wait on the assem
bly at Saratoga, and Rev. Dr. Cowan and
Rev. A. L. Phillips be appointed to wait on
the assembly at Nashville, to give such ex
planation of our action as the brethren may
desire, and that in < ase of inability to attend
they shall each huve power to suustitute an
other member of the committee to represent
them.
To-morrow the Presbyterian pulpits
will be occupied by the visiting clergy.
Rev. Dr. W. C. Young will preach at the
First Presbyterian church. Dr. Young is
an ex-moderator of the Northern Presby
terian general assembly, and is a man of
eminent influence throughout ’-hat body
and is a most eloquent preacher.
Dr. Sutherland, of Knoxville, Tenn., a
successful pastor and influential Presby
terian. will occupy the pulpit at the South
Highlands Presbyterian church.
Rev. Dr. Cowan, secretary of the freed
mon’s board of missions, will preach at
the Third Presbyterian church.
Rev. A. L. Phillips, of Tuskakiosa, sec
retary of the southern committee on col
ored work, will occupy the pul put of the
Central Presbyterian church.
There will be no services, at the
churches at night, all giving way to the
grand rally at the First PresJiyteriau,
which will be addressed by visiting
brethren and others. At this moeting the
all absorbing topic of the unification of
Presbyterianism in the United States will
be discussed most interestingly.
All of the visitors to this conference
express themselves as highly delighted
with the hospitable reception gi ?en them
by the people of Birmingham, and say
their stay in this city has been pleasant.
CARLISLE TO ISSUE BONDS.
Unless Congress Comes to tho Rescue
He Will Put Out *30,000 ,000.
Washington, Jan. 13.—From well in
formed sources it is ascertained that there
is a strong probability that if congress
fails to come to his relief within the next
fifteen days. Secretary Carlisle may deem
it necessary to issue £30. 00<1.000 ,>f bonds,
under the resumption act, for th p purpose
of maintaining the gold roserv e intact.
The bonds, if issued, will be sold only for
gold, but the details as to how hng they
will run. at what price they will be sold,
and how placed on the market, edc., have
not as yet been considered. This proposed
plan of the secretary, it is said, ‘js the re
sult of careful consideration, and will be
adopted if it meets the approvtii of the
President.
The small amount of the propoi ted issue.
It is understood, has been determined
upoj t simply to tide the treasury over un
til a ongress can take up tho wholo finan
cial! question and dispose of it.
Si ould congress within the next fifteen
day! i, by resolution or otherwise, meet
the i present treasury needs, Secretary
Car) isle will refrain from acting on his
own! responsibility, but should it fail to
act | n that time, a bond issue to the
amoj mt stated, it is believed, will he
madj ?.
Sej cretary Carlisle, it is said, would
pers( inally favor the coinage of the silver
seigq orage if the law permitted him to
toll i t off and coin it, but the seignorage
obta| nable from the coinage of the silver
bulli on is so small, and would come in so
slovq ly that it wilt not bo nearly sufficient
to id eet the present emergency.
P/JRTS OF THE PAPER WOMEN
READ.
Strfiws That Seem to Show Some
tl ting They Prefer to tho News
C i lumn.
From the New York Sun.
Hjalf a dozen women, of whomareporter
wa?| one, were dining together the other
eve (ling.
11 (lave you seen Irving as Beoket?” the
hos ‘.ess asked the reporter.
“i to; I think I’ll go on Saturday night.”
■‘.tie plays ‘Louis Xl’ on Saturday
pigl it,” exclaimed the five other women
in c boms.
“J Sow do you know!” asked the re
port [;r, with a sudden inspiration.
"I Vary, bring me the morning paper,”
said j he hostess to the maid benind the
chaiff, while the others regarded the re-
r with iilconeealed astonishment.
"Ti ll me,” asked the latter, "do you
womb n in your hours of ease pursue the
colunj ns of the daily papers! Now,
honestly, do you?”
"Oi course we do!” in chorus.
“P< rhaps, then, you can tell me the
exacts status of the Hawaiian question at
preset it and the latest developments in
Brazil, and how the Lehigh strike is pro
gressing.”
Tlicjre was a perceptible gasp and each
woman looked anxiously at her neighbor.
Thenj the newspaper woman took pity.
"Vffhat Ido want to know.” she went
on, 4 fis whether you women read the ad
vert Isements.”
Tile five countenances brightened.
Thefi. as if they had suddenly decided
thatqt wasn’t the proper thing to be "up”
on attfertisements while they gave little
heed ■ to the news, the five assumed a
careU ss air as they replied: 4 ‘Oh, yes,
Bomeffimcs. ”
"How about the advertisement of a
bargain sale? Does that catch your eye?”
Five self-conscious smiles betokened
assent.
“And you seem pretty thoroughly in
formal about amusements. How often
do yoiit read that column!”
“Well, I’ll tell you how often I read
it,” said the poverty-stricken little
church mouse of the party. “I read it as
reeujarly as the day comes round. Not
that I can afford to go to the theater of
ten. I don’t get there once a month, and
when Idogo I sit up in the 50-cent hea
ven. But lam thoroughly posted on
the people and plays that have been in
the city for the last two years, and that
is neat door to going to see them.
“If you want to know whether women
read the advertisements in the papers,”
she continued, “let me assure you from
thefvfilness of my knowledge that they
do. Home of them read a few things; a
few qf them read all; but all of them
read some things. Next to me, at my
hoarding house, sits a typical old maid.
Every single morning she gets up from
breakfast, picks up the paper, and says:
•Now, I'm going to look over the paiier.
But 1 won’t keep it from the rest of you
very Jong. I'm Just going to read the
deathu.’ Why under the sun she reads
the deaths is more than I can imagine, for
everybody that belonged to her was dead
long ago. Another woman at the same

table, who has an excellent situation,
which, I think, nothing could induce her
to change, always looks over the
“Wants.’ ”
“I do. too!” said a pretty school teacher
across the table.
"Why?” asked the reporter.
“Well,” with a blush, "I suppose it’s
because I got my own place through that
column. A friend of mine saw the ad
vertisement, went to the school to make
inquiries, and here I am. Then, too, tho
‘wants’ always interest me. And, for
that matter, one good thing turned up for
me through that medium; perhaps a bet
ter one may come the same way.”
“Well.” put in tho church mouse, “I
own up to reading the ‘personals’ in every
paper I come across, I'm always hoping*!
may sec a line: ‘lnformation wanted or a
poor church mouse who is one of the heirs
to tho estate,'etc. There's another wo
man at our house who reads everything
in the paper; at least she reads all tho ad
vertisements. She knows what ships are
to sail and what ones are due, just what'
plays are at the theater and how long
they will stay; she knows which store
has a cloak sale and which one a linen
sale, and where shoes are advertised the
cheapest. Perhaps we don’t read adver
tisements at our house so much as we
would if she wasn’t there, for we can ask
her what’s on sale, and where to get it,
and she can always tell us.”
"I'll tell you how it is with me about
reading advertisements,” said the hostess
with a Judicial air. “I do read them ;
that is, I keep watch of them. When 1
see mention of something I need I go to
the, store, and if it is satisfactory I buy
it.”
“But why do you need to read the ad
vertisements; you know they have every
thing, or at least most things, in stock all
the time?”
"But if they are advertised that means
that they are to be sold at special rates for
that day or week only. It may be a very
trifling reduction, hut that makes no
difference. Plenty of women have abso
lutely no common sense about the matter.
I remember a couple of years ago there
was a drop in the price of sugar,
and a big grocery firm advertised
to sell sugar at ‘J cents a pound less
than its usual retail price. But, mind
you, not more than two pounds were
to be sold to any one tier son. Well, my
dear, women pamo from far and near;
from Jersey and Brooklyn. Naturally
they could save only 4 cents on their lim
ited purchase of two pounds, and in com
ing or going they spent five or six times
that amount, besides buying othor things
they had not thought of.”
‘•But,” said tho engaged girl, who had
uot taken any part in the discussion,
"there is common sense in reading the
advertisements; you must admit that.
You find out the novelties, and when the
regular old stand-by materials are adver
tised at a bargain you know it. O, yes; I
own up to reading tho bargain advertise
ments, and, what’s more, I believe every
mother’s daughter of us does it!”
“I know,” said the church mouse,
“thero are dozens of times when I wi3h I
had read the advertisements even more
carefully. You may be sure I don’t want
to go to the museums on pay days. But
two or three times I have been caught,
when a glance at the paper would have
told me better. And I’m always turning
up at places after they are closed and go
ing to hoar something that has been post
poned, so that I have taken a vow to tie
come as well posted as the animated cal
endar at our boarding house.”
Although French law prohibits women from
going about dressed In men’s clothes, except
when they have obtained special permission
from the prefect of police, curiously enough,
there Is no legal obstacle to men parading
the streets in women's clothes. This tact
has just been brought to light by the Paris
courts, which have acquitted a man named
Florentln Gosrelder. who was charged with
wearing an unauthorized disguise with the
object of concealing himself from the pursuit
of a revengeful wife.
THE ROOSTER KILLED THE DOO.
It Ends in a Lawsuit in Which Own*
era Pay Half the Costs.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Hazleton, Jan. 9. —A lawsuit growing
out of a bloody battlo at .Springfield be
tween a dog and a rooster was heard be
fore Squiro Luckonbaoh to-day. Patrick
Foley and his dog were exercising yes
terday when they overtook Thomas Gib
bons, an Englishman, who had a game
roostor witii him.
A discussion arose as to the merits of
the dog arid the bird. It was agreed to
lot them settle it then and there. Gib
bons “heeled” the bird. “Jack,” the
dog, needed no ehcouragoinent to go in.
Every time Jack dashed at his combatant
the rooster dodged. Suddenly the rooster
sprang into the air and struck his gaff
deoii behind “Jack's” ear. With a howl
of pain the dog rolled over and soon died.
Then Foley got mad, Gibbons taunted
Him and tho two men were soon punchiug
each other. They fought until they were
separated. Gibbons sued his assailant.
The costs were divided.
Cat and Husband.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
A Saco woman has a cat that she values
highly, indeed, that she has good reason
for prizing far above her husband, if a
story told of the family is true. The
woman keeps the three in food by taking
in washing, but she draws tho line at fur
nishing her worse half with drinks. So
the other day ho stole the cat and an
nounced his determination not to bring it
hack until his wife gave him 150 for it.
Her friends advised her to let the cat go,
but pity for her pet at last induced her to
comply with theterms. Nowif somebody
would only do her the favor to steal her
husband! But probably no one’s imag
ination is strong enough to induce the be
lief that anybody would give even 50 cent*
to get him back.
