Most of the socicties are in the United States, but several are in Canada, one inChina, six in Ceylon, twenty in Turkey, and one in the Sandwich islands, This society conducts its religlous work i a sort of a cosmopolitan way, that is, there are no restrictions about its religlous afiiliations, every religious or- ganization that aimns to do zood being invited 10 join with it. So it is expected that dele- gates wlill be present at this approaching con- ference not only from the sixty-six assocl- ations belonging to the order, but from many other religious organizations. Among the topics to be discussed aro such subjects as sinful and sinless amusements. How to reach young men, and get them under good nfluences. ~ How to look after strangers at hotels and boarding houses, and umnr other topics of a religio-philanthropo-social char- acter, .

Its debt is not yet due, d is too llrrfl for its debtor to pay imme- diately it it were due. Meanwhile, its present security is still insuflicient. But 'the debtor has additional securities which may be pledged, and a solvent business, capable of paying the entire interest and part of the principal each year, if he can only be per- mitted to conduct and manage it in accord- ance with business principles and the same freedom enjoyed by his rivals. At present, the debtor” is ° hampered ~both by partnerships and by the cloud upon its « credit caused y the attitude of the government, Surely it s 1o the great advantage of both parties that this state of affairs should cease, that a per- manent adjustment should be made which will give the government ample security for its debt, and pay this interest in full and part of the principal each year, and give to the company freedown of action in the manage- ment of its business and a good credit in financial circles. The government directors, therefore, confideutly and earnestly recom- mend the early passage of the bill now before congress, unanimously reported by the house committes on Pacitic railroads, which pro- vides for the final adjustment of the debt of tho Union Pacific railway company, The government directors express eontidence in the present managers of the road.

A few days ago a local “‘fly copper’’ took an alleged Pinkerton detective to the police station and introduced him to Ma 1l Cummings.
