A DKSI'ATCH from London to the ef fect that the Midland Railroad of England has placed unorder with the Baldwin Locomotive Works for ten engines and one with the Schenee tudy Company for ten, indicates that the United States is making greater progress in the markets of the old country than even the most enthu siastic Americans had reason to hope or believe. There is probably noth ing to which England has clung with greater pertinacity than the English locomotive. While Hussia, Japan and other countries were using Ameri can locomotives England was using her own make of engines. Having once gained a foothold, it is reason able to suppose that these first orders will be followed by others. Politics and Religion. One of the Methodist churches of the city of Heading, according to published statements, is greatly dis turbed and the disruption of the con gregation threatened by the Intro- .lii..Hiii rtt tin iiiiir.lt tw.lftii.u in rliu pulpit. It appears that the trouble dates back to the Sunday iiniuedi ately preceding the recent election. The pastor, Hev. Hubert J)iUov, had invited a brother minister, Hev. James Van Kirk, to occupy his pulpit and preach the n'liuon. Tin latter improve!! cue occasion to do a little "electioneering" for his friend, Hev. Dr. Swallow, then the Prohibition candidate for Governor. Ho paid a high tribute to his favorite candidate and had a good deal to say, that was not complimentary, about the other candidates and parties. No sooner hail Hev. Van Kirk con cluded his political sermon than Pastor DeHow stepped into the pulpit and in forcible language dissented from and even denounced the senti ments expressed by Svallowite brother. As waijjwbo expected, the congregation quickly divided, aoino upholding Pastor DeHow anil others standing by Brother Van Kirk. The situation did not improve dur ing the following few weeks anil num erous fuembers gave notice of their determination to Bevor their relations with the church. At this juncture Pastor DeBow handed In his resigna tion, deeming that course the shortest road to the restoration of peace and harmony. His udherents were deter mined he should not leave them, and, claiming that they were in the ma jority, offered him an increase of $:J00 lu his salary if he would withdraw his resignation. After having con sidered the' matter lie consented to remain. In the meantime, however, the offi cial board of the church, (which was controlled by the Swallowites,) gave a call to Hev. Dr. Kaln, which he ac cepted. If Pastor DeBow Is not re tained his adherents will withdraw from the church, and if he is retained the Swallowite members will with draw, so that In either event there Is the prospect of a disrupted congre- ' gatlon. " This Is only another of many former illustrations ot the unwisdom of In traducing partisan politics into the pulpit, especially when the congrega tion is mixed as to its politics, as ninety-nine per cent, of the congre gatlons are. If somebody would only devise aoiue method by which religion j ., could bo successfully Irfleotoil Into politics, without injecting politics Into religion, a world of trouble would be avoided. Hut it seems to te so much more dinioultto Infuse religion Into poli tics than politics Into religion.

Fill a bottle or common glasss with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours : a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys ; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble ; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

There is a movement ou foot iu Ashland, says the Telegram, to porsuade members of Council of that town to make certain con cessions to tho Scliuylkill Traction Company, by which tho five cent rate of fare between Ashland and (liiardvlllo may bo re-established. It Is also stated that a still further concession will bo made ou tho part of tho railway com pany by which workingmen may ride as far as they may wish to go, from Locust Dalo to Uilbcrton, for instance, for flvo cents unless they should transfer trout one ear to another. Iu a nutshell, the man ou his way to work can ride as far as tho destination of the car that he st.irts out on for five cents. It la said tho Traction Company is willing to make this concession if the Ashland Coun cil will modify the present car tax of $10 for each car running lu the borough, making the annual tax $100. This would be a reduction of 50 per cont. The company also wants concession on tho tax recently placed on their polls; lu fact, will ask for a genonil revision of the ordinances.
