FRESNO, March -28—Fresno church| people will have none of Carrle Nation. The Kansas smasher is billed to speak here next Tuesday night, and for sev- eral days the Temperance Allance, under | the auspices of which she is to appear, | has been skirmishing about looking for | a fit and proper place for the lady to ! hold forth. First they engaged the Ad- vent Church here, but after the bargal had been all but sealed the church di rectors got together and concluded the jdea was bad. The directors sent word to the Temperance Alllance that the bar- | gain was off, and would assign no reason. Then the Christian Church was sought. The first man approached said he'd see. ! The next ome gave no more encourage- ! ment, and finally word was sent that other parties had engaged the church for that night. The third church tried also had some excuse for not allowing Mrs. Nation to speak there, so at last the alliance gave the churches up in despair and hired a hall. | | AR | REFUSES TO EXPLAIN POSSESSION OF BILL | Newspaper Man Suspected in Mis- | souri Boodling Case Resigns Of- fice in Press Association.

New York Sought by St. Paul’s. of Exceptional Pulpit | Talents. i Qakland Office S8an Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, March 2. The congregation of St. Paul's Chureh, Qakland, one of the oldest and wealthi- €st Episcopal organizations In the diocese of Cdliforn has decided upon a succes- sor to its Jate rector and extended an | urgent call to the Rev. Alexis W. Stein, an eminent New York clergyman, who is now officiating in a parish at Lake Placid, the home of many distinguished and exclu- sive New Yorkers. The reverend gentle- man has the call under consideration and has notified the rectory of St. Paul's that he will visit the parish during the coming meonth and look over the ground before final decision. Mr. Stein is a san of the well-known Dr. Stein of New York and a graduate of 1 logical Seminary, New York, from which | he graduated with high honors. After | ordination to the preisthood Mr. Stein be- | came assistant to the Rev. Frederick W. | Clampett, D.D., who was at that time | rector of Bt. Peter’s Church, Baltimore, ! remaining in that pesition for two and | a half years, when he resigned to accept | a call as special preacher and assistant | to Rev. W. S. Rainsford of St. George's Church, New York, a church of which J. Plerepont Morgan, the financier, is a: attendant and vestryman. Here he re- mained for two years and made his mark as a preacher of high powers. He then accepted a call to the rectorship of Chirst's Church, Cincinnat!, remaining | there for two years, when {li-health com- | pelled him to relinquish the care of that | parish. ! For the next two years Mr. Stein was stationed at Colorado Springs and in that fine climate succeeded in regalning his | health, afterward returning to New York | and entering upon the charge of the par- | ish at Lake Placid. Dr. Clampett speaks in high terms of his. former assistant. He says he is of exceotional pulpit eloquence and a scholar of ripe attainments, possessed of win- ning maners, and withal, of great force of character. In Dr. Clampett's opinion St. Paul's will be fortunate in securing a rector so well adapted to the peculiar re- quirements of the parish. | Mr. Stein is married. His wife was | a Miss Bonner and is a descendant | of the late Robert Bonner, publisher of the New York Ledger. AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CANADA GROWING How Canadian Press Regards the In- vasion From the United States. A change In the American attitude io- ward Canada is now being manifested in three different way: First, the is an incregsed tendency toward the ‘nvestment of American money in Canadian enter- prises. Second, there is the flow of Amer- jcan settlers into the Canadian West. | Third, there is the movement for recl- procity., which is attracting mueh inter- est in the New England States, which has led to the establishment of a journal for | the advocacy of the project and which | was discussed in the meeting recently | held in Detroit. ! Canadians are naturally inierested in: this change of American sentiment, but are not showing either elation or anxiet There is, in fact, in the Canadian char ter a certain solldity and steadiness which have on several occasions upset the cal-| culations of superficial observers. There was a time, for instance, when the coun- try was supposed by some persors to Le drifting toward annexation. This was so far from being the case that a strong reaction set in in the direction of impe- rialism. That current flowed with such | strength and volume that some of the more ardent imperialists belleved that the | time was ripe for radical changes in the | relations between Great Britain and Can- | ada. * But here again the calculations | were disturbed by the conservatism to which we have referred, using that word, of course, In its broad and not in its nar- | row and partisan sense. The Canadlan | will travel a certain distance with the | ardent advocate of some radical change | and will then call a halt. Irn the present case what is called the American invasion is being regarded in Canada with what some observers might regard as indifference. Our opinion Is that the feeling is not quite of that nega- tive character. We think it would be nearer the mark to describe it as a calm | and steady confidence in the future of | Canada. Some day we may, and prob-| ably will, trade with the United S!llesi But | we are not anxious about the matter. We feel that it is.for the Americans to | make the“first advances, and there are | scme of us who think that they might rake a very fair beginning in reciprocity by lowering their own tariff on Canadian products. As to the American capltal, It | is needless to say that capital Is always | a welcome visitor everywhere, and we | think that our laws will be found to af- | ford due protection to investors. But evin about this matter we have no overween- ing anxiety, for the resources of Canada have now becomc so well known that they need no longer go begging for mil- lonaires to develop them. Finally, we have the filling up of the | Canadian West by American settlers. In | one sense It is useless to discuss whether this is good or bad, because It is Inevit- able. I ne Americans have a territory of about the same area as ours occupled by fifteen times as many people. It is natur- al that population should ~ flow from south to north as that it should flow from the Old World to the New. If it did not happen In our day it would happen ten, twenty-five or fifty vears hence, and fu- ture generations would have to deal with the problem, If problem it may be called, | We can see mo reason for fears or mis- givings. The new settlers are of a most suitable class, as might be supposed frdm the spontaneity of the movement. For the most part they speak our own lan- guage and while there may be some | change In government and laws, the American seftler is not likely to regard it as a change for the worse. We can give tim, we think, somewhat beétter security for life and property than he enjoys in kis own country. We can give him at least an equal measure of lberty; and as to democracy, which an eminent writ- er has declared to be not always synon- ymous with lberty, any British communi- ty may be as much or as little . democratic it pleases. Tn a word. we feel able to take care of the Americans and to make them good Canadians by the influence of | a national soirit which is hourly growing stronger.—Toronto (Ontario) Globe. ——————— Named for Mayor of Indianapolis.

If we asked a known criminal the occupation of some companion at an adjoining table, he | would not say, ‘Oh, that fellow is a thief." {as I would if the remark were addressed to me. We would be informed, If the man’s real occupation was to be revealed, that he ‘worked’ somewherc—that is, he ‘worked’ the races, the Coney lsland crowds, upper Broadway or elsewhere, where his regular occupation of a ‘pick- pocket’ or ‘sneak thief’ could advanta- geously be followed, but these latter terms would be conspicuous by their absence in the conversation concerning the Individual under discussion. “They ‘work,” don't you see? to them, and so they view it one thief will unbend and 1t is work Sometimes all his com- | panion a ‘erook.’ and ‘crook’ is the popular generic term among thieves which covers the whole gamut of crime—from house- breaking to pocket picking. “Crook” doesn’t sound so bad as. ‘thief,’ and does not suggest the penitentiary so vividly. “Jt is so with female crooks; they alt ‘work,’ and never steal from their stand- point. If the companion of the pickpocket at the table excited our interest, and we asked our informant what she was, we | would be told, for instance, if she were & shoplifter, that she ‘worked the stores,’ which is a difference with a decided dis- tinetior between working in a store. But it any of them ever ‘steal’ anything, or make their living by ‘stealing,” well, that's a word that is cut out of their vocabulary entirely. They may ‘take’ a thing, from a brick house to a child’s savings bank, but they never ‘steal.’ ‘Take' is the word they use when not indulging In slang; just ook’ a man’'s watch or a lady's pim, that's all. “It is the same with professional gam- biers and with all kinds of professional in crime or in making an illegitimate live- lihood. No professional gambler will vol- untarily own up to his being a ‘gambler.” | He ‘plays the wheel,” If he is a roulette player; or ‘plays the bank,’ if he is a faro fiend; or ‘plays the races,’ if he is a pool- room bucker; but as for being ‘gamble: or ‘card sharps’ or ‘players’ among them selves, why, they don’'t know what these words mean, except when they read them | in the newspapers. “And thus we may pass all along the line of those who live by any means ex- cept by honest work. Knowing what they are they remain silent as to themselves, except, as I have said, when in anger. During a quarrel no terms of slang or of proper speech are too vigorous to be used against each other, and the correct title of the illegitimate occupation in which the disputants may be engaged is always the strongest and most cutting epithet which may be uttered. For one sneak thief to call another to his face ‘nothing but a common thief,’ for instance, with the usual accompanying unprintable adjec- tives, is a deadly insult, which calls for instant blows and often for blood and the life of one or the other, or both. of the participants in the quarrel.’™ ew York Herald. R TREATY NULLIFIED BY DRAINAGE CANAL There is to be a naval training station near Chicago, and the Washington au- thoritics may be expected to claim, in a vear or two, that the professed necessities of the institution will require such navai craft as have heretofore been forbidden by treaty on the great lakes. But a dispatch from St. Louis would make it appear that the treaty refetred to has almost outlived its usefulness. The managers of the World's Fair at St Louls are drranging a big naval display for the closing week of April next, when the falr will be dedicated, although it will not be opened until a year later. The proposal is that ships of war, gun- boats, monitors and torpedo boats shall come up the Mississippi to St. Louis, and that vessels from the great lakes shall go down to the same point by way of the Chicago drainage canal. This reveals a passage by which armed vessel may enter the lakes readily enough. The proposal, however, does not end here. for the dis- patch adds that an effort will be made to take two or three of these fighting ves- sels through the lilinols River over the drainage canal to Chicago, in order to show that this can be done. By treaty it is agreed that neither the United States nor Canada shall keep armed vessels on the lakes, and should war occur we could not bring armed ves- sels through our canals if we tried, so ex- posed are they to attack. It now appears, however, that the Chicago drainage canal has Its strategic use, and that fighting vessels drawing as much as fourteen feet of water can be brought up the Missis- sippl, over to Chicago and at short notice turned loose to run overythe great lakes. And this passageway is nowhere exposed to attack. The situation has been entirely changed. With such an outlet as this the shipbuilders on the lakes will again press fc the right to. build war vessels in fresh water for ocean service. When the subject was up for consideration some time ago it was proposed that such ves- sels should be carried through the Cana- way of their own these shipbuilders will be more insistent. A good deal seems to depend on that Chicago drainage canal— Brooklyn Eagle. »
