Washington, May 9.—The investiga tion of the affairs of the postofflee de­partment. which has been dragging along for two months, took sensational turn Friday afternoon, when by order of Postmaster General Payne, August W. Machen, general superintendent of the free delivery system, anil one of the most widely known government of­ficials in the United States, was re­lieved from his duties and Postofflee Inspector M. C. Fosnes was designated to take charge of that service. The change took effect today, when Mr. Fosnes will assume charge of the fret-delivery service, and at the same time that service will pass under the control of the office of the fourth assistan postmaster general. Heretofore it has been under the jurisdiction of the first assistant. The action of the postmaster general was taken on the written rec­ommendation of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, who is di­recting the investigation of the affairs of the department, that the transfer of Mr. Machen's bureau to his jurisdiction and its administration by a postofflee inspector would expedite the Investiga­tion.

Before a large number of newspaper men, Postmaster General Payne an­nounced liis decision and read the cor­respondence between himself and Mr. Machen, together with the recommen­dations of Mr. Bristow.

Postmaster General Payne, in dis­cussing the matter, said his conclusions to relieve Mr. Machen was reached Thursday, after office hours. Mr. Bris­tow, he said, had come to his office and they had a conference, during which Mr. Bristow presented his letter.

by Striking Section Hands Appeased the Wisconsin Central.

New Richmond, Wis., May 9.—The in­crease of pay demanded by the striking section hands of the Wisconsin Central has been granted. The company c-ven gives them more than the ask for.

The room presented a horrible appearance. He wrote his real name on a card for the attending physician and it appears to be "Maschuar." He stated he had a wife and two children in Indianapolis.

A postofflee has been established at questing to be put in full charge of the Tennant, Shelby county, with Chauncey office in order to expedite the Investi­gation. He declined to say whether the changes made would be permanent, saying that that depended on the re­sults of the investigation.

Mr. Machen came here from Toledo, j

Ohio, in 1893, and qualified as superin­tendent of the free delivery service on j May 6 of that year. Since then the j

office has grown to immense propor­tions and the rural free delivery, mail | service has been introduced and ex­tended to cover all parts of the counr try.

Mr. Fosnes is one of the best known inspectors In the service. He is chief assistant of Mr. Bristow in the investi­gation. He is a native of Norway, where he was born in 1851, and his home is Des Moines, Iowa. He was once a special examiner of the pension bureau, and subsequently served as postofflee inspector at Philadelphia, Chicago, Helena, Mont., and St. Paul.

tos-Duinont's Record

MACHINE OBEYED PERFECTLY

The Results Are Considered Notable,

Making Aerial Navigation in Dirigi­

ble Balloons Appear to Enter the Do­

main of Practical Reality—37 Kilo­

meters in One Hour and 36 Minutes.

Paris, May 9.—The airship con­structed for the Lebauder brothers made a highly successful trip yesterday under Pilot Jouhmes an l Engineer Rey. The start was made at i» a. m. from St. Martin during a light rain and with u I-risk wind blowing. The dirigible craft passed -oved a number of suburban towns. At Nantes she made a circle around the cathedral spire and left that town, going down diagonally against the direction the wind w is coming from. Over Limay, Nantes and Rosny the air­ship was put thru a series of evolutions and answered her helm and maneuvered to the perfect satisfactlcn of all inter­ested in her. She then returned to her point of departure, where she descended without accident. The distance covered was thirty-seven kilometers in one hour and thirty-six minutes, against Santos-Dumont's record for the Deutsch prize of eleven and one-half kilometers in thirty minutes.

The Temps says in view of the rain and wind, the results obtained were no­table, making aerial navigation in dirigible balloons appeur to enter the domain of practical reality. M. Jouh­mes furnished a report of the trip, in which he said the airship obeyed per­fectly and was under perfect control. The screws revolved 800 times per min­ute, which speed was increased to 1,000 revolutions when sailing against the strong current of wind ou rounding the Chateau de Rosny.

The populations of the towns which the airship passed over gathered in crowds to witness the sight and ac­claimed the aeronauts.

THE RELIGIOUS LIFE OF LONDON.

Roman Catholics, they meet with sue cess." Westminster Gazet, in review­ing Mr. Booth's work, after comment­ing on the Daily News' religious cen­sus of London, showing a church-go­ing population of 67(5,798 out of 3,162,-156 thus far canvassed, says: "The mental life of the working class is undoubtedly very much more active than it was a generation ago, but re­ligious interests have not gained in proportion, and pleasure, amusement

'hospitality, and sport have perhaps even encroached upon the sphere of re­ligion. It the truth is fra.nkly set down, the churches as a whole .wheth­er Anglican. Roman or Nonconformist are making little headway with the male sex. Individual preachers have great success, self-sacrificing clergy, especially those who live a life of /vol untary poverty, have great influence but real attachment to the churches and to their forms of belief does not increase, at all events among men."

The Result of Mr. Charles Booth's Ob-serbations—Hold of Churches

Weakening. The latest addition to the series of

volumes being prepared by Mr. Charles Booth in Lindon, on the "Life and La­bor of the People," contains a study of the religious life of the metropolis. The conclusion at which Mr. Booth is forced to arrive, after an exhaus­tive consideration extending through seven volumes, is that the hold of or­ganized religion on the people of Lon­don is growing weaker rather than stronger. His conclusions are admir­ably summarized by the London cor­respondent of the New York Evening Post: "Of course, among the young children the response to the approaches of the churches is greatest, but the habits of the home soon assert them­selves, and the influence of the church is not continuous, after they pass from childhood. In the fashionable districts of London prosperous churchc-s and large morning congrega­tions on Sunday are secure. Passing down one step in the qoclal ladder, we find a vigorous middle-class religious development combined with active so­cial life. For the grades below* there are the missions, and as Ave pass step by step downward the more hopeless does the task of the churches become.

"And Mr. Booth is forced to admit that the churches have themselves very largely to blame for this state of things. Their attitude toward the people in the main is 'one of surprise at the rejection of the teachings of re­ligion'—or rather of their particular typo of religion. 'If the religious bod­ies would awaken energy for further­ing the welfare of others, and would keep it pure, what they propose must be untainted, alike by the struggle of competition or by ignoring the work that others do, by magnifying their own office, by exaggeration of state­ment or by bribery in all its subtle forms.'

"The interest of Mr. Booth's survey is intensified as we follow him from his summary to his analysis of the work of the religious communities in what seems so much like the hopeless task of spiritual regeneration.. The Church of England claims first place in his analysis, and there is a world­wide Interest in the conclusion to which Mr. Booth is forced, that no rit­ual, no doctrine, will bring success. Where the Church of England does succeed it is by 'a combination of souncj sense, philanthropic enthusiasm and deep religious feeling which, though it may not land on every bush, is not so rare as might be supposed.' Turn next to the Congregationalists. They boast that theirs is not the church of the poor; one might, says Mr. Booth, go farther and Say, 'not of the poor, nor of the working class, not of the rich, nor of the fashionable.' Hence in London the influence of the Congregatlonalists is 'more social than religious, but it is good and wholesome, and being without exaltation, is free from the dangers of reaction, is free the Baptists, 'whether taken individ­ually or collectively, the Baptist churches are a great spiritual force in London, and the religious influence they exert is very deep.' Next come the Wesleyans, but with all their en­ergy, activity, enthusiasm, and zeal Mr. Booth sees 'something hollow, un­satisfactory, and unreal about Wesley-anism as a religious influence. The hard work and self-confidence of C'on-gregationalists lead to self-sufficiency, and the deep religious convictions of the Baptists to an obtrusiveness of piety which favors cant; so the en­thusiasm and overwrought emotions of the Wesleyans produce a false at­mosphere of exaggerated language.' There remain .of course, the Roman Catholics. Numerically, theirs Is not an Important church in London, ex­cept in its influence upon elementary education, where In the main, and as

DEFINITION OF CHRISTIANITY, Eldora, May 9.—We notice a list of

"definitions of Christianity" in issue of the 4th and don't think any of them distinguish between Christianity and other religions. Will you permit one from the outside, nota member of any denomination, to-wit: Christianity consists in an experimental reception of Christ, chrism, annotating, or holy spirit thru repentance and faith, the true Christ or chrism that Jesus had or was, a begetting into sonship with him.

Hence believing in Christianity is be­lieving in the above, or In the holy spirit baptism, and if this belief reaches a point described by Paul where he says, Epr. 1:13, "Ye were sealed with the holy spirit of promise," "Which is the earnest of your inheritance." (Your heaven or a heavenly place). Then they have believed into Christ or chrism and know Christ. Many may know and be lieve very much about Christ or chris tening and not know Christ or believe in him in the least, as a person may not know one particle of heat or warmth, yet know and believe more about it than any of the comfortably warm peo­ple in the world. This Christ always was, even with Moses and before Abra­ham. In the beginning was the word, and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us, but is now spirit and life, making his abode in all who have that faith which is substance and evidence. Many people know a vast amount about and believe in the Bible, which is ih€ letter of the word or truth and never grasp the spirit or substance which is the blood or life which the most igno­rant may have abundantly without any Bible. A few had part of it—the Bible —on the day of Pentecost Many in the Gentile churches never heard of most of it. Belief in the Bible is not saving, but faith and trust, reliance, depend­ence upon "obedience to the chrism of the true Christ—I. e., Christianity.

In this connection would you permit a little "splitting of hairs," as you and many of your readers may oppose me, in regard to the definition of the wofds. "wisdom," "knowledge," "understand­ing" and "education" in Bible parlance? Wisdom is seeking the btst experience. Knowing or knowledge is always per­sonal experience. Understanding is a comprehension of this experience. Ed­ucation is principally theoretical deduc­tions or intellectual grasp and disci­pline. Thus it is simpiy a matter of faith based upon education with most of us. That the earth is round and re­volves, that the earth is the greater part water, in fact, that there is any Atlantic or Pacific ocean; but if we act on such faith, which Is wise,, we may gain a personal knowledge cr experi­ence. This carried far enough will en­lighten our understanding or compre­hension thereof. God's great process in resurrecting human beings out of sin, misery and suffering into a comprehen­sive knowledge, experience of enjoy­ment, rest, purity, love, etc. But in this world each of these is an assistant, in­centive and spur to all of the others. Wisdom causes us to gain knowledge, which in turn brings into action more wisdom, both aiding our understanding and this demanding the exercise of more wisdom indefinitely. So it is in the knowledge of the chrism, except in the case of Jesus, and even "he learned obedience thru suffering," who had the chrism without measure and knew no sin, Jesus received it (I say it advised­ly spirit or begettor is masculine, while soul or soil is feminine) on the banks of the Jordan and gave it, chrism, life, truth, resurrection, in the garden of Gethsemane, where his soul was sor­rowful even unto death, so that he sweat as it were great drops of blood. Oh, great offering! That we might have it—chrism, life eternal, spiritual truth, the way, the life, the resurrection, the inheritance—which he had or was. Truth and all of these he gives of him­self are masculine, with God, Him, the Christ, the Chrism, the Holy Ghost, the Father. This is Christianity: Chris­tian Christ, one. C. D. CONE.

A Woman's Prayer It is notable that in the despondency

caused by womanly diseases, there seems to many a suffering woman no way of escape from pain except at the price of life itself. It would be sad to record such a story of struggle and suffering ex­cept for the fact that in such dire distress many a woman has found a way back to health and happiness by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor­ite Prescription. The one and only remedy for leucorrh ea, female weak­ness, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso­lutely specific and sure in curing these common ailments of worpen, as to war­rant its makers in offering to pay, as they hereby do, the sum of #500 reward for a case of the above maladies which they cannot cure.

"Your medicine almost raised me from the dead," writes Mrs. Edwiu H. Gardner, of Egypt, Plymouth Co., Mass,, Box 14. "My tirine was like brick d\ist, and I had pain all over me, and such a dragging feeling it seemed I could not do my house work. One day I found a little book. I read it and wrote to Dr. rierce, and in a few days received an answer. I decided to try his medicine, and to-day 1 am a well woman. I have no backache, no headache, no pain at all. I used always to liave headaches previously to the monthly period and such pain that I would roll on the floor in agony. I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favonte Prescription und three of ' Golden Medical Discovery' and three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and was com­pletely cured."

Accept no substitute for w Favorite Pre­scription." There is nothing just as good.

Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser—sent free on receipt of stamps to cover expense of mailing only. Send 21 one-cent stamps for the book in paper covers; or 31 stamps for the cloth bound volume. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf* falo, N. Y.
