CLEARING OUT A SLUM. and the attaches of the legation. Senor Luis Felipe Carbo, envoy extraordinary and minister, plenipotentiary, is located in a handsome suite of apartments on I street, and with him are one of his sons and the two secretaries oi the legation, Senor Cristobal Velas and Senor Pablo Elias Albornoz. The minister is a native of the city of - Cuayaquil, and was educated at schools in that town. At the early age of 19 he entered upon public life, accepting the office of president of th municipal council and later on that ol collector of the port.) When only 25 he was made seertary of state under the lead of the Liberal party, of which President Veintemilla was the head. But as is frequent in the republics in) the south, a revolution, displaced the Liberals from power and Senor Carbo went for some time into banishment. On his return he took charge of a newspaper, the Times (El Tiempo), which was regarded as the chief organ of his party. He held at the same time a chair in one of the largest colleges in Ecuador, filling both positions itb great honor to himself. On the 6th of last June the Conservative party fell and the Liberals came in, the president being Alfaro, who appointed Carbo to the position of secretary of state. As the president for a short time did not exercise his executive power, Carbo was placed to act in his stead, being what might be termed president pro-teBut on the Resumption of this right by the president, Senor Carbo was sent to represent his country, not only at the court of Uncle Sam, but he ia also accredited to al of the nations of Europe, being the only minister sent out by Ecuador Senor Carbo Is the father of ten children, all of them very small, and hisf wife, who Is at present in Ecuador.Will join her husband within six or eight monthsl The Admirable Method that Has Been Followed In London, First, London kept a watchful eye over the people she unhoused. Only enough of the old buildings were at new first demolished to permit work to be intelligently begun. Those until they remaining were were in habitablerepaired condition, and retained as long as possible, so that only a small proportion of the old tenants should be forced out at once, the idea being to get some of the new buildings ready for occupancy before all the oldi ones were tom down. In addition, to that, care was taken to see that such of the residents of the old district as were forced to remove found desirable and sanitary dwelling places. A complete list of all the vacant rooms within a mile of the condemned territory was prepared and kept on view at the councils office on the ground; and moreover, with every notice to quit was Issued a statement that the council would withhold from tenants their compensation for the cost of proving until the proper, official had visited their proposed new home and was satisfied that they were going to premises which were, healthful and In every way suitable for their occupancy. Thus, while It was of course impossible to improve the condemned area with great rapidity, yet within a few months from the time operations began the council knew that every person who had hitherto been subject to the evil Influences of the slum had found comparatively good surroundOut the Loudon ings. stamping Slums, by Edward Marshall, in the March Century. te m.

But the crux is, now solved. The investigator referredto holds that the Greek word gyne. which St. Paul uses, does noiinean in that particular text women generally, but "married women whose husbands are alive. Some critics are capable of suggesting that the only importance of the new gloss is to go one better than the old saying of a wife being a crown to her husband by showing him that she is really a gyne (usually spelled guinea), hut the emendator takes .the subject most seriously. For instance, when St. Paul speaks about women keeping silence in churches he immediately adds, Let them ask their husbands at home, showing that his prohibiton of speech merely referred to wives. Moreover, in the! Acts of the Apostles it is distinctly mentioned that one Philip had four daughters, unmarried, who' prophesied or preached. The new contention; therefore, is thatlSt. Pauls injunction is sufficiently met if married women cease to preach, but as far as maidens and even widows are concerned, they may discourse as much as they please without breaking any law of the churches or apostolic command. Qn this point it may be interesting to note that in America women preachers are increasing with amazing rapidity and promise before the next century is far advanced to equal the number of their male, rivals., The denominations in which they abound are baptist, conUnitarian universalist, gregational, and methodist. According to recent while In statistics, they number 1,235; ' 1891 they were1 750. The statistics do not show whether any of them have husbands alive, I Speech. The mystery of speech is very great.

The corres- pondent of a Chicago paper says: There is a' clause in the postoffice appropriation bill which was reported in the House of Representatives last week, restricting the transmission of second-clas- s matter through the mails. It applies particularly to unsold newspapers and magazines returned by news agents to the offices of publication, and is supposed to have been insertedat the suggestion of the express companies, who are always around when any attempt is made to extend postal facilities.
