AME-RieAN
They Seek
NEW YORK, June 6. (Special Corre
spondence.) There are more Ameri
cans In Europe now than In Amer
ica. This only means, however, among: the
prominent professionals who go abroad
lor rest, lor new Ideas, lor cures and for
Innumerable other reasons. Indeed, the
bond between the English actors and the
American has become so strong that it is
almost difficult to remember which are the
Americans and which the English. We
have almost come to look upon Sir Henry
Irving as our own and the names of
Beerbohm Tree, E. S. Willard, Forbes
Robertson and many others are as fa
miliar In America as they are on the other
side. With every year there are more of
the American actresses who play Beasons
in Europe, as well as in America. To do
this required a good deal more than dra
matic ability. The very first requisite Is
the English language as It should be
epoken. Tho fault found with "The Prince
of Pilsen" in London is that it Is ultra
American. Much of the slang and of the
local references were lost on the English
ardlences. That was to have been ex
pected for 'more than one reason. In the
first place the Englishman Is not noted
lor his appreciation of humor, then he
cannot be expected to understand that
humor which deals entirely with Ameri
can conditions, and, moreover, American
humor Is not always funny, so we must
admit three good reasons why London re
fuses to laugh at the same things that
America roared hilariously over. It will
bo remembered that America does not
laugh at English humor, any more than
London laughs at American mirth. All the
plays that come from the other side have
to undergo a process which ill-advised
people call "pruning." It should, however,
bo called "grafting" Instead as instead of
cutting out there is added an almost in
sufferable amount of horse-play and low
comedy, which, we are Informed Is done
to meet the American taste. This does not
prove, as it would seem to, that the Amer
ican taste is any more or less refined than
that of its older brother, but London can
get along without the hilarious while
America cannot. There are, howover, con
flicting reports upon the subject of the
success of "The Prince of Pilsen" in Lon
don, as George F. Marion, the gifted stage
manager for Henry W. Savage, returned
from Europe on Thursday, and he says
that every number In the entire score was
encored wlthou't exception. He says that
it has settled down for a long run. Other
reports state the contrary. However, if
Mr. Savage is satisfied no ono else need
be otherwise.
Among those who are playing In London
is Ethel Barrymore. who has not made
a very marked success In Henry Hubert
Davies play of "Cynthia." It will be re
membered that this play was produced in
New York by Elsie De Wolfe, for whom it
was written. Miss Barrymore sailed for
New York Juno 5, and almost Immediately
she will go to San Francisco, where she
will open her season. If she decides to
play "Cynthia" there. It will probably
have a warm reception, as Mr. Davies is
well known in San Francisco, havingbeen
musical critic on the News Letter for some
years.

Charles A. Moore, Columbia's
In One Year Becomes a Clever Baseball Pxtcner, a Sturdy Football
yrTHLETBS are generally the out
j growth of Institutions which foster
sports, and that Is the case of
Charles A. Moore, who has become a
crack football end. a fast track, man and
perhaps the best amateur pitcher in town
with one year of constant training at the
Catholic School, Columbia University.
Although all the credit of turning out
good athletes does not belong to the In
stitution, especially in the case of Moore,
still the opportunities given the pupils of
Columbia by the faculty to develop any
athletic tendencies that they may have,
have been the direct cause of the success
of its teams in many lines df sports. The
boys never grow stale In Winter, having
a largo inclosed gymnasium with a dirt
floor. In which they put In a couple of
hours every day.
It Is the esprit de corps which affects
the teams and individuals alike which
has made Columbia successful with very
little material, and most of that raw.
Moore, himself, a year ago, was the raw
est possible. He had just come up from
Gardner, Or., where he had barely seen
a baseball, and had no idea of the Inter
collegiate game of football at alL
He entered Columbia last Fall, and had
one good point, speed He was not the
only green player on the team at the
beginning of the season, but thanks to
Charles A. Moore, Prominent Colum
bia Athlete.
Coach Cronan. ho, with the rest of the
team, was a competent player by the time
the season was well begun.
Before long he began to show genius,
especially a quickness at tacxllng and a
speed In getting around the ends with
tno ball, that earned for him the positioa
of end. where he showed himself to be
heady and suro to get his man. He made
an end run in a game with Pacific Uni
versity last Fall which first brought him
into prominence, and later on in the
game with Tacoma High School both he
and Gleason were said by their Tacoma
critics to have done tho best end running
ever seon in tho town. But his possibil
ities in football have hardly been snown
yet, ono season rarely bringing out the
best In a man. and muoh more can be
expected of him next year.
Ho made bis first prominent public ap
pearance as a pitcher here a few weeks
ago, pitching against Multnomah. The
spectators saw some clever pitching on
that occasion, but those who stood in
front of the backstop found out why the
Multnomah batters could not find him.
There was a break In the course of tho
ball as he threw It that deceived the
batters many times. It was visible
enough from a distance, but it came so
close to the batters that they did not
see it.
Alter a. hard solge on the Puget Sound,
playing against semi-professional teams,
he came back rather out of condition, but
In the game played with Multnomah May
2S, he showed the same cleverness and

makes occasional trips to Paris, where she

Those rare favorites, Nat Goodwin and
his beautiful wife Maxlne Elliott, are en
tertaining lavishly their American friends
as well as friends iron all nations in their
beautiful suburban home called "Jack
wood." They enjoy not only the rest, but
It will be remembered that Mr. and Mrs.
Goodwin were not In the same company
this year, and consequently have not seen
very much of one another.
The present season seems to be given
over to the vaudeville houses and to a
few musical comedies, which will soon
fold their tents and depart, that Is, some
of the better class performances will close.
Among those still In full swing Is William
Collier -who Is playing his third month at
the Criterion. The close of Henrietta
Crossman's "Sweet Kitty Bellalrs" is at
hand notwithstanding crowded houses
right along. Elizabeth Tyree is In her sev
enth week at the Savoy Theater in the
play of "Tit for Tat." This theater had
the distinction to serve ice "cream between
the acts during the very hot nights of last
week. This week it would be In order to
serve hot coffee and sealskin coats as the
weather calls for that uort or thing. Lon
don is making this quite a feature at all
entertainments, especially musicals and
concerts of all sorts.
The appearance of Charles Hawtrey,
Jessie Millward and Robert Loraine In
vaudeville has occasioned more than a
little comment, but they certainly add
greatly to the interest of the Proctor
houses; however, ono feature which might
be regarded as extremely disagreeable is
the Sunday night concert, and if one loses
sight of the Inferiority of an appearance
in vaudeville during the week, it cer
tainly is not possible on Sunday night, as
the so-called "sacred concert" Is about
the limit when It comes to misnomers.
It Is so called, of course, to evade the
law, which should be rearranged so as to
close these houses on Sunday night
There are some Americans who have been
offered any amount of money to appear
In vaudeville, but they, have refused, with
or1 without many thanks, and the reason
that the English constituency have less
objection Is because they have not so
much at stake as the American. They
come over here to make money, and put
every effort In that direction. Indeed, It
is said that some of the most noted of
the English actors live In the cheapest
quarters In New York. Apropos of this,
one of the most prominent of English ac
tors, while In this city, lived away over
on the East Side, In the dirty tenement
section. When reproved by his American
friends for being so niggardly, he Imme
diately informed them that he was study
ing types; but he did not state whether
of human beings or of bugs, as the East
fooled the older batters still. On Decora
tion day he was played out, but was so
anxious to pitch that he was allowed to
do so. He should not have done It He
had plenty of speed, but he was easier to
find. His arm was out. That was his
last game, and he will not pitch again till
next year. .
How he ever came to be so clever a
pitcher is remarkable and shows that be
sides taking advantage of the opportuni
ties given him to develop himself he had
a natural genius. Last Summer he saw
advertised a little pamphlet which de
scribed the art of pitching. He sent for
this and, studying it, followed the direc
tions and taught himself. No one ever
showed him the least thing about it. He
picked It up by himself and proved bet
ter than any of -his competitors. He
pitched a 2 to 0 game against Galaskl in
Bellingham, In which he struck out ten
men. This was the best game he pitched
this year, as he "had a clever set of bat
ters to tackle, and handled them well.
Gaiaskt. who has since been taken Into
the Tacoma professionals, struck out 18
of the Columbia batters.
He Is not only a pitcher, but fields well
and bats over .300 per cent. In baseball.
Date Palms Planted in Desert
California Professor Hakes Interesting Experiment
SAN FRANCISCO. June 8. (Special
Correspondence.) Professor Arnold
V. Stubenrauch, superintendent of
the agricultural experiment stations of the
University of California, has returned to
Berkeley after spending some weeks in
the southern part of the state In a most
unusual undertaking. He has set out a
date palm grove at Mecca, In Riverside
County. This is the first attempt as far
as known here, to raise dates In the
United States. At Mecca, which is 200
feet below the level of the sea. conditions
akin to those of the Sahara Desert exist.
One hundred and fifty plants have been
set out. They were brought to this coun
try by the Government from the Sahara
Desert, the home of the date palm. It
will take three years lor the plants to ma
ture. ' Professor Stubenrauch Is convinced
that his experiment will be successful. He
says that with the artesian water and the
tropical sun of the Colorado desert, on
which Mecca is situated, the plants should
thrive as do those of the Old World. It Is
the Intention of the professor to try ad
jacent parts of the desert with figs and
table grapes;
The large part which electricity has
come to play in the transportation facili
ties of the cities of the Bay was brought
home to the residents of this city and
Oakland this week when a new suburban
line connecting with a new ferry system
was put into operation, Tho time for
merly required between the ferry depot
on the San Francisco side and the homes
in the remote residence districts of Oak
land was one hour and ten minutes. This
same distance Is now covered In 30 min
utes. The boats make three trips across
the bay In the time that the Southern
Pacific boats make two. The electric
trains make fewer stops and run at great
er "speed. In order to meet this competi
tion, Harrlman has detailed a man to
make estimates as to the cost and practi
cability of transforming his Interurban
system Into an electric one. On the Mar
ion County shore the old steam service
between Sausallto (which is connected
with San Francisco by boat) and San
Rafael, a. distance of ten. miles has been
superseded by a third-rail electric line.
Electric cars now run down the coast
from San Francisco to San Mateo and
surveys are being made lor an extension
to San Jose. At San Jose a new system
radiates throughout the entire Santa
Clara Valley. The great stimulus to the
construction of electric lines has como
largely through growing population, but
the Santa Fe has been an independent
agency at work. With the completion of
the transcontinental line Into Oakland,

Surely every one will remember the
charming little actress, Marie Jansen,
who has been before the public as one of
the most prominent of Its musical comedy
artists. Miss Jansen has Just gone Into
bankruptcy, and prays for release from
all obligations. For some time this tal
ented woman has been living near Boston,
and' under the name of Hattle Johnson
she has earned her living by the needle.
This will seem almost Impossible to those
who knew the degree of talent with which
she was blessed.
It is beginning to dawn upon the world
that the women of America have set the
example for women of other nations, as
will be shown by the Interest that women
in other countries are taking in matters
that formerly meant nothing to them. A
large number of American women sailed
early this week for Berlin, where, from
June 12 to 18, will be held the Interna
tional Council of Women's Clubs- Among
a large number who have gone are Miss
Susan B. Anthony, Dr. Anna Shaw and
Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. The questions un
der debate will deal with art, literature
and science, as well as with domestic,
social and political questions, and Dr.
Shaw will Introduce to Germany a ser
mon from a woman, which will be the
first ever delivered In that country. There
will probably be interesting matters, in
which It Is very certain that the Amer
ican will In no way be In the background.
I am In receipt of the very delightful
news that Adele Aus der Oho is to take
up permanent residence In America, and
she will make New. York her home. Miss
Aus der Ohe has a very large number of
engagements for next' season, and she
has every encouragement to believe that
a permanent Identification with this coun
try will In no way Interfere with her
artistic prestige either here or In Europe.
Miss Aus der Ohe will devote what time
she is not playing to composition, as she
has a genuine talent In that direction,
and everything that she writes or has
written Is eagerly sought for In this
country, where all her works are pub
lished. It Is certainly astonishing that the whole
of Europe seems to have succumbed to
the charms of Miss Isadora Duncan, a
California girl. She has apparently tak
en dancing from a different side than
have any of her predecessors or contem
poraries. Miss Duncan, Instead of danc
ing what is known as dance music, dances
Chopin fantastics, Beethoven symphonies
and Wagnerian excerpts beside. In an
entertainment- just given in Paris, she
danced the Seventh Symphony of Bee
thoven, and later she gave a varied pro
gramme, Including antique Idylls and oth
er classical picturesque reproductions.
Miss Duncan dances with bared eet, and
If there were another name for It, It
would hardly be called dancing. Quite the
most remarkable piece of work done by
this young lady was the "Blue Danube"
waltz, which had In no sense any relation
to the waltz, but It became a new and
wonderful expression of art. It is rather
difficult to Imagine any one going into
Berlin with an Innovation of this kind, but
she certainly carried everything before
her In that city, as In all others where
she has been seen.

as in football, he Is only a beginner, and
his best work certainly lies before him.
It is well that he is going to give up
athletic activity completely for the Sum
mer, however, as he has taken up so
many things this past Winter and worked
so hard ar them all that he must need a
rest, especially as he Is only IS years old.
His third activity he went into every
thing that came along Is track athletics.
He has done well In the high and broad
jump and the pole vault, though he took
these up only as a side issue and never
tried out in them, but ho went into the

In the .latter race he defeated Fredell,
the star track man of the school, at the
Spring meet.
Moore's record has hardly begun, but
he has shown himself exceptionally cap

with greater strength he will distinguish
himself nex.t year In all the sports he
took up this year. He has a natural apti

When Henry Oxnard made a formal an
nouncement of 5iis candidacy for the Sen
ate he did it in all seriousness, hardly an
tlcipating the storm of ridicule which
has come upon him. Oxnard, however,
has maintained his composure beneath It
all and. has a strong following In the
state. There have been Senatorial cam
paigns In the past in California In which
"the sack" has been tho spokesman of
the candidate. Oxnard's announcement
created the impression that thero would
be a "barrel." But the sugar magnate
has proved to be a different type of man
from the sort the San Francisco politi
cians were led to believe he was. Oxnard
visited San Francisco this week to look
over the situation. He was at once
hunted out by the old - time "a
dollar - for - "my - Influence" politicians.
They saw no evidence of the barrel,
and at last boldly asked Oxnard what
he meant by coming to San Francisco
without that adjunct. Oxnard announced
that he was "no sugar barrel," and the
sooner this was understood the bettur.
He left San Francisco after spending but
two days here. He was disappointed in
his reception. That portion of the press
which was not belligerent was cold. In
the meantime Bard Is at home In South

It has come to be pretty welll recog
nized here that Governor Pardee Is daily
growing into a great power In Repub
lican politics. He has strengthened him
self since assuming office, and while his
appointments have been uniformly strong
he has gathered about himself a number
of men who encourage his ambitions.
That Pardee has ambitions, no one de

evidently Is a seat in the United States

It Is now believed by friends of Lieu
tenant Victor A. Lewis, the dashing
young officer who ran off with a hospital
nurse, that he and the woman are In
Mexico. He has been heard from Indi
rectly, and so has Miss Elizabeth Berry
man, the woman with him. It seems that
the two were childhood lovers and later
In life were separated. After Lewis' mar
riage he was assigned to the Presidio,
and met Miss Berryman again by chance
at St. Winifred Hospital, where many of
the military officers are treated. The old
love revived, and Lewis urged Miss Berry
man to flee with him. She advised that
he first secure a divorce. Miss Berryman
held out for a ions time, until she saw
that a divorce svas Impossible, and then
she consented to go with him.
"While Mrs. Hearst has withdrawn her
support from several enterprises at the
University of California, she tempered
her action by deeding to the College Set
tlement Society the building arid grounds
in which the work was carried on. These
are valued at 05,000. This insures the
continuance of the work, as a small fund
only is necessary outside of rent. With
the announcement of Mrs. Hearst's de
cision to conserve her finances, word was
conveyed to the California delegates to
the Democratic National Convention that
William R- Hearst would not provide a
special train, as was planned. This was
something of a shock to the men con
cerned, as they had been given to under
stand that their trip to St. Louis, the time
they spent there and their return would
cost them nothing. The delegates at
large will be assessed 5150 each and the
other representatives" a somewhat smaller
amount.
No more peculiar case has ever been in
the divorce court here than that of Dr.
John Albert Noble, who sought to have
his marriage annulled. He was married
in 1S99 under peculiar circumstances. He
says that the woman who Is now his wife
and whom he knew as a patient In 1899,
one day demanded that he marry her
without delay. He refused, but the next
day in his office .she swallowed lauda
num and stated that she would die from
the effects of It and refuse relief unless he
first promise to marry her. Dr. Noble
says there was no reason why he should
marry the woman, but to humor her he
promised, and then relieved her. She was
very sfcki but demanded the marriage be
immediately performed. Dr. Noble says
he had to submit. This week an action
was brought to have the marriage an-,
nulled on the ground that the woman was
of unsound mind at the time the cere
mony was performed. The court granted
Dr. Noble's petlton. Dr. Noble is a well
known physician, and his story is not only
credited, but has been sworn to by other
reliable witnesses. He was Inclined to
think the woman was subject to nervous
attacks and hoped to cure her. She has
been sent to an asylum.

The Eastern trip of. the Stanford ath
letes, while not attended with the success
that was hoped for, has had some bene

did they create that a number of young
Eastern athletes ready for college have

that he will leave Michigan at the close

receipts for the season of "Parsifal" and other
grand operas. Including theroad tour, amount
ed to $1,500,000, and that an extra dividend
was declared on the capital stock of the cor
poration, as well as the regular dividend, of 0
per cent. "I can't make known the profits of
the eeason," went on Mr. Conried. "It la a
matter which doesn't concern the public. But
some of the Items of expense may be of in

"For instance. I paid out to the leading
singers those who are paid by the perform

who were on weekly salary. Stage alterations,
scenery and costumes last Fall and Winter
cost 5250.000. Only one-fifth of this' was put
down to this season's expenses, though, for
the benefits of the expenditure of this sum will
last for several years. The stage carpenters
alone got $42,000 between the opening and
the end of the season. The total expenses of
the orchestra amounted to .J9S.0SO.

Two healthy, bright-eyed and intelligent
German girls, of 12 and 14, have Just ar

They are Paula and Flora Hegner, a pianist
and a vocalist, and that each Is a prodigy

their first appearance at St. James" Hall,
where they captivated a critical audience.
Flora Hegner has been endowed by Nature
with the fully developed throat and larynx
of an adult. Her vocal organs have been
examined by more than one physician, who
pronounce that sho Is able to sing as a
grown person with peVfect safety. . Her chief
recreations, apart from singing, are paint

the pianist, is & sturdy girl, very far from
being a neurotic subject. Both have a mass
of wavy hair, and are simple and unaffect

them, only allows them to practice an hour
or so a day.

The presence of so many young" women who
are graduates of musical schools. In the cast
of "Woodland." playing at the Tremont The
ater, Boston. Is a reminder of the fact that
the choruses of modern comic operas are
conducted on a higher moral plane and are
composed of persons recruited from higher
walks of life than In years gone by. In the
company now playing the new Plxley and
Luders opera are no fewer th&h 20 young
women who hold diplomas from music
schools' and other institutions of learning.
There are no "show girls" in any of Henry
W. Savage's companies. The expression,
"show girl," is disliked by this manager. .A
young woman applied for a position to Mr.

'show girl." " Mr. Savage almost lost his
temper and replied: "In my companies there
is no such thing as a 'show glrC If a young
woman is in the chorus, she Is a chorus girl.
If she is occupying a position higher than

The Elks' Ladles Quartet of this city, com
posed of Misses Kathryn, Llna and Stella,
Llnehan. and Mies Virginia Spencer, gave a
succcssful concert at South Bend. Wash., re
cently, under the auspices of the Baptist.
Church lecture course. The Wlllapa. Harbor
Pilot, of South Bend, says: "It, is rare, in
deed, that a South Bend audience enjoys such
a musical treat as that given them when the
South Bend lecture committee wound up a
successful season with an entertainment given
by the Elks Ladles' Quartet, 4 of Portland.'
This closing entertainment was " the crowning
feature of the entire series. Should the Elks'
Quartet ever again visit South Bend, they will
be assured of a royal welcome and a packed
bouse- to greet them."
Camllle .Saint-Saens declares he would, for
his part, banish from Roman Catholic churchea
all music that was not composed for sacred
words, but to which religious' words had been
more or less successfully adapted. He calls
such pieces artistic crimes. Be would also
proscribe all music composed by men unac
quainted with Latin. Though conscious that
he will surprise many people, Saint-Saens de-,
clares he would. In addition to the above, exile
from Roman Catholic churches all the music
of Sebastian Bach, and goes on to say: "Hia
marvelous preludes for chorals are essentially
Protestant; and. with few exceptions, his pre
ludes, fugues, fantasias and toccatas are con.
cert music and not. church music"

Patti is still artlessly telling stories about
experiences during her concert tour of this
country. In Hot Springs, Ark., while she
was singing "Home, Sweet Home," an en
gine at the depot closo by was sounding Its
whistle loudly. "We were not In the same
key," .said Pattl, "and it was a' trial to
drown that locomotive. For all that the
audience was pleased. Some one shot a
negro in the leg. Poor fellow! How they
do dislike negroes down there. This negro
had climbed a tree to look In at a window
while I was singing."
In the absence from" the choir of the Temple

was recently. Injured by being .thrown from a
carriage by her horse running, away, her posi

will be temporarily filled by Miss Reatha
Fowler, who has been studying voice with J.
Adraln Epplng. Miss Fowler learned the He
brew necessary to sing the service- at one
day's notice, and acquitted herself with great
credit. She is one of the best younger dra

London is to lose one of its) oldest concert
halls. No concertB are being booked at St.
James' Hall after June 30, so there is every
reason to believe that the syndicate formed to
erect on the site an Jmmenee hotel, will com
mence pulling down the present building the
following month. The familiar concert hall
was designed by Owen Jones, and was opened
March 25, 185S, with a concert in aid of the
Middlesex Hospital. Mr. Santley Is the only
surviving soloist of that occasion.
Miss Daisy Crooks, wno Is esteemed here
for her good work as soprano soloist in West

In the choir of the Temple Beth Israel during
the temporary absence of the regular soprano
soloist at the Salem music festival, has left
for her home in Texas on a short visit. Miss
Crooks expects to return to Portland In the
Fall, to pursue her music studies. She has
an excellent coprano voice, and has many
friends among Portland musicians.
To compel union musicians and stage hands
to submit to a radical reduction in wages
and correct certain grievances that the man
agers now suffer, the recently formed New
York Theatrical Managers' Association has
called a convention for August 1. Manag
ers say that heretofore they have had to
submit to whatever schedule of wages their
musicians have demanded. A schedule of
wages from the managers will probably be
adopted.

NEW YORK. (Special Correspondence.) Dr.
Wallace Hadley, a well-known professor of
chemistry of this city, has undoubtedly made
the most Sensational discovery of tho age.
Call it divine power, science, or whatever you
will, the fact remains that in a single night,
so to speak, he has completely upset modern
i.in. rioflor! nil known laws of nature and
utterly dumfounded ecientlsts and medical men.

hopes. I particularly remember the case of
Mrl Sarah Miller. No. 1500 Sixth .street Har

The doctors had given her up to die. Her

The following abstract Is taken verbatim
from Mrs. Miller's letter. She says.
"When I began to take your treatment I
realized that I was on the brink of the grave.
I suffered from gastro-intestinal catarrh and
diabetes. I was lrr constant pain day and

with life. I had taken so much medicine for
so many years without receiving any benefit.
I tried your treatment as a last resort, and

"This Is only one of a large number of sim

directed these poor sufferers where to obtain

this great discovery for the benefit of the
world. Hence I offer my services free, for a

of perfect health. Here Is a letter from an
other woman whom I saved from the grave.
Mrs. Germond, of No. 303 Highland avenue,
Benton Springs, Mich., writes: 'I tried so

had given up all hope of ever being cured. I
heard of your wonderful discovery, but I had

"Layman" Sees Plot to Annihilate
Protestant Episcopal Church.
PORTLAND, June 8.-(To the Editor.)
The promoters of the Oxford movement,'
generally styled the High Ritualists,
have, -with jesuitlcal Ingenuity, chosen as
their "slogan" the very best catchword
possible to Impose upon the American
people, namely "Unity." They say that
there are too many branches of the
church, each going Its own way, and by
that means weakening the power of the
church for good; and It is a sad fact that
the followers' of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ are so divided.
But do the Ritualists expect to heal the
divisions in the way they have adopted?
Do they suppose for one moment that the
Introduction of Romish practices Into our
church will attract the great bodies of
Nonconformists Into closer union with
her? They know better, or if they don't
they ought to. With whom then Is this
"union" to be effected? There are only
two other churches with which union is
possible tho Greek and the- Roman, both
given over to idolatry, the one with its
Icons, the other with. Its Images.
There 13 at the present time In this
country a prominent ecclesiastic of the
former, who has made such an Impression
upon the minds of some of our clergy that
they are ready to jump down his throat
at a moment's notice, taking the Protest
ant Episcopal Church with them. They
know that eventually should any such
union take place the strongest will swal
low up the weakest, and that the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, being by all
odds tho weakest, will simply suffer an
nihilation, which Is and always has been
the end and. aim of the Oxford movement.
"Why did such great men as Manning
and Newman gd over to Rome? Because
they felt that they could not consistent
ly favor the Oxford movement and remain
priests of the Protestant Episcopal Church
and they were too honest to benefit by
her emoluments while at the same time
betraying her. From any such union as
the one evidently proposed, good Lord de
liver us, and if the Protestant Episcopal
Church and her members are true to
themselves, they will "avoid It, pass not
by It, turn from It and pass away."

IF THIS SOLDIER WERE RICH
He fells What He Would Do With
His Money.
Hartford CouranL
A group of veterans were telling stories
at the Allyn House last evening, and one
of the number related one about when hia
regiment was down In Northern Virginia.
He said:
"We were sitting around tho campflre
one night, and, for lack of anything else
to talk about, we began to tell what we'd
do if we had a lot of money. One soldier
said if he had a pile of money he'd spend
It all for tobacco; another said he'd get
out of the Army and go to Europe; one
said he'd buy a yacht, and everybody had
some special object in view on which to
lavish untold wealth. An Irishman In the
party sat smoking his pipe, and didn't
seem to have much to say about It. Ono
of tho boys asked him what he would do
if he had a lot of wealth.
"Well' Ol'll tell yez phwat I'd do.
moighty quick. Ol'd hire a substitute, and
Ol'd go to New York, and Oi'd put up at
the biggest hotel in the city. Oi'd order
about three pounds of portherhouse steak,
and Ol'd have it smothered wld about a
pound of buttljer. and Oi'd have the foin
est feed of my loife. And thin, begorra,
Ol'd buy a New York newspaper, and go
out in the hotel office, and sit down and
put me feet up on the winder, and look
over me paper, and say: "OI wonder why
In hell the Army don't move.' "
Fewer Agricultural Immigrants.
Detroit Free Press.
Each year sees a decrease in the num
ber of agriculturists that reach the
United States and a marked increase In the
less desirable classes from Southern
Europe, who settle in the large cities
adding to the troubles of those already
there. The officials are powerless to
prevent the practice, which Is rapidly as
pcming alarming proportions, but the
time Is not far distant when steps will
have to be taken to regulate the traffic.
Whether this will be through the medium
of uniform citizenship laws In the vari
ous states and a mutual agreement as to
supervision of aliens remains to be seen.
