Vj Bryan's Attack on ttio Ministers. jF Mr. Brtan's speech Inhe Auditorium at Btt Wilmington contained ono passage which JS' pvns reported as follows In the If'tlmijirton RJS yV7us of the next morning: W MMr. BnTAK Mlil In effoct that mora bitterness had Jtcmbown by mlnlitrra of the Gospel, as a rlaas, t jliaaJrut Hie advocates of frro silver than had been fMTCehown by tho politicians on the p'alform. aud .that It was not that thejr bad ao much tacked freo silver a that ther had shown their J $ general disregard for the Intcrrite of tha people.

When I IGHave seen preachers of the Gospel using even mora fltter speech than politicians against the clamorlngs pt the people, I have wondered where the got the JXnrellglon that they preached." ji The discrepancy between these two ver-- , i'slons Is not essential. It is evident that tho jj candidate of the Kepudlators is exasperated f' at those ministers of tho Gospel who aro J now preaching tho honest payment of debts. t He Is brutal and foolish enough to endeavor 1 to punish them by stirring up against them, i asaclasH, thesamesortofbatrudtowhlchhe j appeals successfully whenever he addresses tho basest prejudices and passions of the JY, crowds which guthur to hear him speak, it He pictures the ministers as a class of lux- - I urlotls loafers who enre nothing whatever about the dlstresi of the "masses," to use his favorito word. This is contemptible, but it is charocter-- ( lstlc of the man v ho is asking his fellow ' citizens to elect hlin to tho most important 1 ofllce In the world. The ministers who are preaching honesty nnd honor are doing their J duty. Mr. BUYAN'd leal grievance is not against them, but ngalnst tho Divino Law .which prescribes in the Eighth Command- ment: "Thou shalt not steal," A j; , ,! TIio Yalo Students and IJrynn. ),J Gen.

'Weliuvo read curefully all tho reports of ' the proceedings of tho Yale students which vrero publihhed In ruputablu newspapers of New York, and we cuuuot find In thera nny justlncatlon whatever for tills language of Gen.

The stu- nt dents gathered in strong force, as was Jf natural. Practically, they were on their J own ground. They expressed their feellugs j' against Repudiation with the rigor and vo- -i elf erou'sness of youth; and they had a right to do it. They ought to have done it; and .!j tho sentiment to which they gave utter-QIJalie- o Was honorablo to them.

They detested and despised both It and him ; and they made known their feeling noisily. Gen. Wxdd says that " the position of nomi- nated candidate for the Presidency ot this great republlo carries with It the right to respect from all cltlcsns, no matter to what party tho candidate may belong, or what may be his political creed." Bat it carries with It no such right. Noons, can- didate for President or anybody else, is entitled to respect unless he deserve it, and the same Is true of a political creed. Wonld a freg-lov- o or an Anarchist can- didate desorvo respect t Should a candidate on a platform ot rank and frank treason to American freedom, be received with honor simply because ho is a candidate r Gen. Wedii talks arrant nonsense; yet ho Is the President of an American college and 09 instructor of American youth I Whh Mr. BrtYAN began his speech he proceeded to Insult tho students by insult- ing their fathers. Would they not havo boon contemptible fellows It tboy hod not resented his words with all the force ot ex- pression In language of which thoy were capable f Treat such a man with respect I it would havo been disgraceful to them It they had kept silence. If ho had a right to talk had they not an equal right to respond t Thcro wiib no obligation of courtesy pre- venting them from uttering their Indignant aud derisive dissent. He ottered himself for crUklsm nnd he has no reason to com- plain because he got It. The Yale students did right. They may havo been boisterous beyond tho measure of necessity, after the fashion of collego boys; but tho spirit animating them was wholly honorablo, wholly commendable. Their fathers havo good reason to bo proud of such sous. Wbcu Gen. WEUB rails their conduct "dastardly and outrageous" ho proves himself to bo a man disqualified to bo a college President and an exemplar for youth. He and not they deserve tho reproach of his unjustifiable letter. The Yalo students dotest Repudiation, aud ail honor to them for tho feeling! When they come forth from their little col- lege world into tho broad world of socloty, they w ill mnko good citizens. They will fitly sustain the burden of duty to the republic when, in tho cruel and relentless order of nature, it must be transferred to their shoulders by their fathers. Cant. Cant has been defined to bo an empty, solemn speech, professing more religious sentiment than is really felt A timely illustration of what constitutes cant is furnished by this utterance in the speech of WILLIAM JBNM.NOB HltYAN at tho American House in Boston on Friday: "lam a believer In AlmlgMr Ood applause, and mr prayer la that He may give rue strength to bear whatrver responsibilities ara reposed In me. and wis- dom to discharge whatever duties fall to ma " It must havo been an audience of queer persons who thought it proper to applaud a public man for announcing his belief in the Deity! Mr. Bbyan's prayerful reliance on Provi- dence is pralsoworthy if it is sincere; but it is difficult for tho average unregenerato man to understand how any ono who is advocating the establishment ot a dishonest dollar can look for'auy assistance from Heaven. "I am a believor in Almighty God," shouts this young Nebraskan in tho mar- ket place; and yet ho has travelled thou- sands of miles this summer and made nearly two hundred speeches to induce tho people ot the United States to break that commandment which says, "Thou shalt not steal I" A Schomo of Certain Reformers. Tho now Constitution provides that In tho three cities of the first class, New York, Brooklyn, and Buffalo, the Mayor shall concur In tho final adoption of every " spe- cial city law local in Its application, the approval of the Governor being made sub- ject to such acceptance." But no sim- ilar provision ot law or of the Constitu- tion requires the acceptnnco by cither tho Mayor of New York or the Mayor of Brooklyn of sections or clauses In the re- port to tho Legislature of tho Greater New York Charter Commission. In spito of this deficiency, however, the views, sentiments, and opinions of Mayor Stp.ong have been sought by those munic- ipal reformers who desire to engraft upon tho scheme of a truly Greater New York their pot notion nnd device, a " statistical bureau for the publication of arithmetical tables of ratio and percentages." It is, In other words, a bureaucratic devico forgiving employment to theoretical nnd unemployed statesmen at the public expense, if not for the public benefit. Undoubtedly there nro in the United States sotno philosophers who derive pleas- ure and instruction from the perusal of tho statistical reports sent out from Wash- ington from tho Board of Lighthouses, from tho Seed Department of the Bureau of Agriculture, from the special agents on Indian reservations, nnd from the ; teorologlsts of the Alaska Territory; or at leant they imagine that such reading gives them joy. When Congress is in ses- sion, nnd especially when questions ot bucolic interest engngo tho attention of the members present, the Conuresatontil Ilccnrd has a Jtrge circulation, and probably thero aro those who read It through with avidity, but their number cannot be great. Tho bound volumes of weather reports con- taining early and sometimes unsubstantial prophecies may furnish palatable literary food for some people. In New York there Is n gloomy clique of theoretical reformers who think thoy provide a cure for all public abuses aud municipal Ills by tho publication of elaborate and monotonous statistical re- ports, which probably aro read by them- selves at least. They get tip, for instance, special reports on the percentage of sodium in the Croton water on Sept. C5, 1800, as compared with the percoutago on tho preceding Sept, SB of alternate years since 1870. Still another favorite subject of statistical inquiry by theso laborious phi- losophers is ' the ratio of gallons of water required In the extinguishing of Ares In New York city in 1800 as compared with the number of gallons required for the same service in 1806." Still nnother is "the re- lation of poverty to suicide, based on tables furnished by the Publlo Administrator showing the value of clothing and eiTeots of successful suicides, in groups of ten years" Tho ratio of illiteracy in words of Now York compared with the nupiber of miles of streets swept In suc- cessive months, h another fruitful subject; and In the same category is to be included the ratio of runawaj s In Central Park com- pared with the mean average flow of tha Bronx River, the equation betwecu tho two establlshlngjln the view of some of these proftsalouei municipal ret ormere a VJIC lfor estimating tha progress In the art of driving by land and of navigating by water. Tho value of such figures must bo plain to every one In this busy town, and the es- tablishment and maintenance at the publto expense of a Bureau of Statistics would fill a long-fe- lt want, In the view of theso reform- ers. They have accordingly submitted their grand schemo to Mayor Stoono, and what he has to say on tho subject is this: "IbaDavatbeldeaagoodooa, considering It oasu-all- as I hare oertalnly fall tha need of such a depart- ment tinea I became Mayor." The Mayor approves, casually. Ho has felt, along with the need ot many other things, the necessity ot such a department since ho became Mayor. The dearth ot sta- tistics reroaling as in a brightly burnished mirror the profound and occult undercur- rents of the municipal government in New York, may not have Impressed itself upon others, but it finds tho favor of the wily Mayor STRONG, casually. Ho would like to know what some of the boys whom he has appointed to offlco aro doing to Justify their selection under tho Powor of Re- moval bill, and to ascertain what somo otbor boys appointed by him are not doing for tho public benefit. He would like, casu- ally, to get facts and figures, political " X" rayB, on the movements of Brother Lauter-BAC- for instance, or tho political effects of Ll HUNO Ciiano tea on Brother Platt. Would a Bureau of Statistics, however, be a good thing for the city of New York, actually and not casually t Should tho demand for such a department lie satisfied in the proposed charter of tho Greater New York f Can thero bo found reformers willing to undertake tho Job of keeping the supply ot figures in perpctua) motion, provided the appropriation should be sufllcieut, or would thorn dry but noble souls agree to pay for the boon ot statistics themselves r Who can tall f Tho study of arithmetic is a good thing. ' We figure to ourtelvee The thlugwullke, aud then wo build It up Ai ccanoa will ha 0 It, on tha rook or Bind." Would tho statistical reformers do a thing like that t Probably. Not casually. Amcrlcan-bull- t War Ships. The fuvorablo report Just made by the Japanese naval ollltcrs upon the plans of the Messrs. Cramp and tho Union Iron Works for building two fast cruisers, will doubtless bo followed by u formal award of contracts for such vessels. The displace- ment proposed is understood to bo about 5,000 tons, and tho speed 22 knots. Thus Japau will bo the first of Old World nations to draw war vessois from American yards, just as Russia, another good friend of ours, was foremost to seek armor for her battle ships in American foundries. We may also believe thut, as this armor has already carried its own recommendation, so the two cruisers w liicli Japan is expected to order will be a credit to American ship- wrights. Only a dozen years ago tho first group of Btcel war vessois ewr undertaken in this country was still under construction. A dozen years ago we had not oven begun to make plates for battle ships. The progress which has since been achieved Is extraor- dinary, nnd It is largely due to starting iu the right way. A short time after the steel fleet was begun, Congress declared that all new vessels for it must be wholly of Amer- ican material. That meant, for n time, an increase in cost over similar foreign ships, but tho result was to put American ship- building on a firm basis, and to prepare it for its presenttnumphit. It has been suggested that Japan would, from frlondly considerations, be glad to have American yards represented In her new navy; and It would cortalnly show both friendship and wisdom for her to do so. But it is not necessary to go bev oud ordinary business considerations in order to find mo- th es for tho recent favorablo reports of hor officers. Not only has American armor been for several years equal or superior to the best anywhere else constructed, but in tho Russian contracts our armor makers w ere actually to underbid their European rivals. And as to our war vessels, tho prices have steadily fallen, as tho recent proposals for battle ships and torpedo boats show. What tho quality of American cruisers has come to be, Japan understands well In her dealings with the builders of the Minneapolis and the Olympia. Tho Jew Halting In Europe, Tho most striking contribution to the current number of the A'tncfecnfh Century is an article by Dr. Eiil Reich on tho c movement which has acquired so much momentum in Germany nnd Austria. The most interesting feature of the article is the author's demonstration that the movement is directed not against Jews of tho tjpe, but against the now Jews, the reformed Jews, tho very men who are tending to become like Chris- tians through strhlng to accommodate themselves to modern civilization. A proof of this Is put forward In the fact that no in- considerable number ot the fiercest anti-Semit- in Germany nro to bo found among the conservnthe Jews; to the funds, for in- stance, collected for the inlislon of STOECKKR, tho arch Jew-bait- of Berlin, certain bankers of that town subscribed vory largely. The vogue of the word is ascribed by Dr. Reich to tho fact that It is no mere synonymo for tho traditional hos- tility of Christians to Jews, but rcnlly means something novel. It does not stand for precibely the old persecution of the Jews, or rather it does not signify the per- secution of that kind ot Jews who were tho objects of nntlpathy In former centuiies. The Stoeckers and Ahlwardts and Lueo-er- e and Drumonts nnd the other European leaders of the c movement, do not really hate the small Jew, the orthodox Jew, the petty trader In foreign garb and of strange manners. Him they look down upon ; and nobody wants to destroy the subjoots of his disdniu, menim the per- secution of the emancipated Jew, of the Jew who is a doctor, a professor, a playwright, a Journalist, a lawyer, In one word, of the gentleman Jew. It is their invasion ot the highest strata ot society which is relented so ferociously. How far that Invasion has gone in Germany Dr. Hkich Indicates by some statistics. Ho shows, for liibUnte, that in the years 1870-8- 1 the Jewish students nt the Berlin Gimnanlcn (institu- tions which correspond rather to our col- leges than to our academies) formed no less than 17 per cent, ot the total, In 1887 the Jews furnished 10 per crnt. ot the students at Prussian universities, although thoy formed only 1( per cent, of tho population of Prussia. Nearly 10 per cent, of the Judges in Prussia are Jews, and at tho highest law court of the German empire at Lelpslc, thero nro ten Jewish Judges among a total of 70, In certain towns the propor- tion Is still higher; thus of the 67 barristers at Breslau a I are Jews; and of tho 1100 lawyers of the law court, or Land-gerich- t, lu Berlin In 1860, no less than COO were Jows. In tha twenty-on- o univer- sities of Germany thero were In 1888 no fewer than 104 Jows among the regular professors, that Is 8 per cent, of tho total, while of tho privatdooenten, or tutors and prospective professors, tho Jews form 18 per cent. In tho university of Vienna thero were in 1885-8- 0 two thousand and odd Jewish to throe thousand and odd Chris- tian students. In Hungary, Italy, and France tho statistics show similar results, proportlonably, though, of course, tho fig- ures aro no't so startling because In thoso countries the Jews constitute a muoh smaller clement of the (population. In France thero are scarcely over 70,000 Jows; whereas thero are 000,000 In Germany and 1,600,000 in Austria, Dr. Reich Is not ono ot those who hold that is entirely without ex- cuse. Ho finds tho principal pretext for it in a certain wast ot social tact at times evlnrcd by tha new Israelites. Tho Jews, who in the last century wero still to a con- siderable extent outsldo the pale ot tho law, havo all at unco obtained not only full civil rights but access to tho learned professions, and to every channol of Influence and power. Unquestionably thoy have mads a wonder- ful use of their opportunities, and they aro not unnaturally vain of it. It may be that sometimes this vanity takes on a super- cilious, arrogant, and even contemptuous ospcot. But this is a transient phenomenon, which will inevitably pass away In propor- tion as tho assimilating process Js carried out. Dr. Reich says that in Germany a large number of new Israelites have taken the lesson of to heart, and have redoubled their efforts to blend with tho nation whoso members they aro. Registration and Voting. Tho Bureau of Elections estimates the cost of registration and voting in New York city this year at 8410,000. The totnl vote cast on Nov. 8 will ba not less than 800,000, but probably more. In tho Presidential election of 1884 the total registry in this town was 840,000. In the Presidential election of 1888 it was 880,000; in that of 18U8 it was 800,000. At the same rntlo of Increase, from 1898 to 1800, as marked tho increase from 1S88 to 180'-.-, the registration this year should be about 830,000, exclusive of tho gain in voting population from the three newly an- nexed Westchester county townB, which became officially a part of New York on July 1, 1805. Tho total vote in those an- nexed townships was 2,411 last year, and as thero has bcon no wholesale exodus from them, of which any ono has heard, it seems reasonable to allot 8,500 new voters to tho poll of 1800 by reason of tho increased area of the city. Tho fact is not to bo lost sight of, however, that through tho multiplication of restrictions on voting, first applied in 1808, and increased by tho rigorous provisions of the registration law adopted last year, voting hns been mado more difficult in Now York than formerly, nnd the number of "stay-at-home- " or " o " voters hns become greator. A probable vote of 800,000, or ten per cent, short of what may be accounted a n normal registry of 300,000, may therefore, be de- pended upon. If tho registration, voting, nnd canvassing is to cost this year 8440,-00- 0, according to the official estlmnto mado, the average cos to the city of each ote polled will be SI. 30; and with honest money and law and order trinmplinnt on Nov. 3, who will stand up and deny that it is worth tho price ? Heretofore, nnd In fact sluco the passago of tho registration law In April, 1878, these wero the days fixed for registration : on the Tuesday of the fourth week preceding the data of election the first enrollment of tho voters took place On tho Wednesday of the third week preceding election day, camo the second enrollment; and on the Friday and Saturday of tho second week before election day the third nnd fourth enroll- ments wero mado respectively. One whole week elnpsed between tho last day of enroll- ment and the beginning of tho week in which tho election was held, affording am- ple opportunity for the preparation of tho registry lists and their subsequent scrutiny. Prior to thnt there had been in New York three registration days: tho first on tho Tuesday three weeks before election, the second on tho Friday before election, and the third 6n tho Monday before election, or. In other words, tho day before election. This nrrangrmeut of registration dayR, It wiib freely charged, made possible electoral frauds. There aro no such frauds now; thero is no claim or pretence of any. The four registration days this year are: Friday, Oct. 0; Saturday, Oct. 10; Friday, Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. 17. The last Legislature made n change lu the dates, for the purpose, as Its advocates said, of mak- ing uniform the registration dates through- out the Stnto. Whatevor merit there may bo iu thnt, It Is clear that for Now York county the changu is not 1111 Improvement, for under the old system tho convenience of oters w as served by a cholto of dajB, ono Tuesday, onu Wednesday, ono Friday, and one Saturday being put aside for register- ing This car. If tho business or profes- sional engagements ot tho voter nro such that ho Is employed on Fridays and Saturdays, tho ('banco of his losing his vote Is greater now than heretofore. On the other hand, however, tho convenience of the city electors has been sered by a chango in tho hours of registry. Heretofore theso hours wero from 8 o'clock in the morning until 0 o'clock In the evening. This year's hours are from 7 in tho morning until 10 in tho ovening, or ono hour earlier in the morning and ono later in tho evculng. The election instead of receiving 50 for each day of registry, now got 96 for tho same service. In other words, tho hours have been lengthened nnd the pay has been shortened; but tho voters generally, ex- clusive of those engaged ns such inspectors, will have more time nnd a better oppor- tunity for enrollment, nnd the cost, borne by the citizens of the county, will bo lens than heretofore. The popular Interest in this year's election outweighs here all past records. The pro- found concern In tho successful outcome of the campaign against Repudiation 1b discern- ible on every hand. An abnormally large registration on the first day, larger probably than on tho llrnt day of registry lu any pre- ceding Presidential or other election in New York, la, therefore, certain. It is safe, too, to wager that the number of citizens who go early ou the llrst day will be larger than ever before, Our Methodist Episcopal contemporary, ZUm't Herald, congratulates the ministry upon their chanee of atyle. It seems that they have discarded the " long: black coat and the long sanctimonious face." "The minister who looks like a bailors man, or, for that matter, like a bicycler Id hla knickerbockers aud soft cap. Is not now at a discount, but. Indeed, la at a pre- mium In the exchange of soul with soul." Wo guess that these remarks of Zion't lltrald are correct. Lots ot the ministers In Nt York are blc) clrrs and aportimeo. They take part la tha bicycle races; they compsta for thi prises at stolf and other gamut torn of thtm Ilk lo sea a good horsa race. Half tha time you can't tall a minister from an ordinary man. Tha lone blaek cost and tha sanctimonious faoa were all right In the dark ngea, but are not at all neces- sary for the ministry tn thtse enlightened times. Wa do not suppose It woold be regarded as sin- ful for a minister to preaeh from the pulpit In a blkioESutt. Prlneo BlSliAItCK Is willing to see us try on the experiment of the free coinage of silver, more espeolallr If we make tba venture "all, alone by ourselves," after the BnrAH plan. That Is not wonderful. Germany could look on unharmed. It could watoh the game with curi- ous Interest; but ot course neither Disuabok nor Germany has any notion ot taking any share In tha venture. Tha funeral will not ba their funeral. It wtll ba all our own; apd they esn enjoy the satisfaction of standing aloof as aptotatort ot our doleful progress to tha grave of financial stability and seourtty, and draw from It valuable lessons for application at home. BtsuAncs Is an old man, but he keaps his wits about him. Now that the gold "color" has been seen along many of tha ereeka In that part of Venez- uela to which England has laid claim, It will ba harder than aver for the English to abandon their olstm to tho disputed territory. Another thing: quartz mining is now carried on profit- ably at Barlmo. Again 1 large devclopmenta in tba gold Industry ara erpeoted. Finally: Eng- lish capitalists have made new Investments In promising properties. John Vvuu will never willingly leave a territory of which such things can ba aald. If it be that he shall hnve to turn his back upon It. and leave all the gold on the craeka and In tha quarts to the Venezuelans, ha will certainly feel a pain In his pocket Wo recently printed an Interesting pleoe ot news about a Brooklyn woman who Is wait- ing to gat her abare of tha property left by one ot her ancestors, a eea rover, CapU Wrrrnz, who died In tha Netherlands nlnety-flv- a years ago. It wai In an irregular way that the Cap- tain piled up his fortune of 15.000,000 gulld-or- s, and it was In a noteworthy way that ho disposed of It. lie had been a pirate and slave trader, and It was whllo thus en- gaged that he made his millions. A queer thlmc came to lltht after bis death, when it was ascertained that he had left the bulk of his gains for the founding ot an asylum for orphan children! the remain- der to be divided among those of his posterity who should be living one hundred yrara after hit decease, or In the year 1800. If tbo atory told by the Brooklyn woman Is cor- rect, she U ona of the heirs of tbe pirate and slave trader who had a kindly feeling for desti- tute younic orphans. Tha atory Is good enough to deserve a place of honor In the "Pirate's Own Book." Thera bava beon other pirates who bad a sound spot In their hearts. The most notorious one of them all, Capt. Km I), tha son of a clergyman, was generous to bis craw. Another of them. Capt.

What It tbe true condition of the laborer 7 I take It that it Is beat for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as bo can Soma will get wealthy. I don't belle e lu a law to prevent a man from getting rich: It would do more harm than good. So while wo do not pro- pose any war upon casllal, we do wish to allow tbe humblest man an equal chanco to get rich with everybody else. When one starts poor, as most do In the race of life, free society is such that he knows he can better his condition; he knows that there Is no fixed condition of labor for his whole life. I am not ashamed to confess that intnty-flv- e years ago I waa a hired laborer, mauling rails, at work on a flat boat Just what might happen to any poor man's ton. I want every man to lime the chance and I believe a black man ! entitled to in which be can better his condition when he may look for- ward and hope to be a hired laborer thla year nnd the next, work for himself nftcrwarJ, and Unally to lilro men to nurk for him. That is tho true system. " Up here In New England you have a soil that recarcely sprouts black-eye- d beans, and yet where will you find wealthy men eo wealthy, and povertj ao rarely in extremity? There la not another Bitch placo on earth! I dcilro that If you got too thick here and find It hard to belter your condition on this soil, you may hivo a chance lo strike nnd go somewhere else, where you may not bo degraded, nor hnve your family corrupted by forced rivalry with negro elaves. I want you to have a clean bed and no snakes In HI Then yon can better your condition, and so It may go on and on In one ceaseless round as long as man exists on the face of ,tho earth."

They travelled by carriages to tbe near- est river port, which then was only a small landing, but which became famous In the lata war aa tha fortress and stronahold of tha Mis- sissippi River, Tort Hudson. Bore they board-e- d a small steamboat for New Orltana, it taking them a week tn make the trip. Arriving thero, ther remained several days before proceeding on their trip, trying to In- duce their eon, Henry Dearborn Ripley, who waa with them, to give up the Idea of going to Teias and taking part in tbe war that waa raging for Independence, but to his step- mother's earnest entreaties he said: "No. ma, I must go. and will never return until I come with victory on my brow." no bade them farewell, and proceeded to Texas, never- more to see them.

The Pope and tba Anglican Orders, To the EniTon op The Sck Sir: Will you kindly permit me apace for a few brief state- ments In reforence to the reported condemna- tion of Anglican orders by Leo XIII. T I. The movement which led up to this de- cision was not started by Lord Halifax, but by a French priest, tho Abba Portal. Another most dlitlngnUhed French priest, tho Abbe Duchesno. warmlv supported tho validity of Anglican ordinations, and Anally an Inquiry Into the mcrita of the question wot ordered at Rome. The part of Lord Halifax and the Eng- lish priest. Father Puller, waa merely to coop, crate with the French priests and assist them In their efforta to mnko Rome's practice with ref- erence to Anglloan orders square with the facts of history. II. The object of tho movement waa not to bring about "the reunion of tho Church of England to tho Church of Rome." but to belter the relations of these great sister Churches by removing tho chief cause for Irrltatinu, Rome's practical of Anglican orders, and her reordinatlon of tho Anglican prlesta who occasionally wander Into hor fold. Tho Franco clergy reccgnlio this aa the first neces- sary step toward the restoration of between the Anglican and Roman Churches. III. " The process of Incorporation by means of Individual conversions" is deplored by tho French olergy to whom I have referred, because it simply aggravates the strained relations of these Churches. It It, moreover, a process dis- tinguished for Its practical failure both In Eng- land aud In thla country, for whllo Rome re- ceives many ndherenta from tho Protestant bodies, she recehes very fow. Indeed almost none, from tho Anglican Church, and the few Anglicans who seek rest wUhln her borders usually return to the Episcopal Church. IV. At for tho practical effect of this reported decision on the Angll can Church, there is none, for the Anglican Church stands y n here It did before the present Pope ordered this In- quiry, perfectly sure of the validity of Its orders. Its priests will continue without hesitation to celobrate mass and to give absolution: Its bishops will continue to ordain prlesta. and tbe laity will continue to he ruled by their lawful aplrltual pastora. Anglicans have never ap- pealed to the I'opa for bin approval of their order, nnd they are not disturbed by hla disap- proval. They are contont that Rome should balance the adverse decision of Infallible Leo against the unmistakablo facts of history and the undoubted recognition of Anglican orders by Pope Paul IV.

Whatever happens, Newport man are bound to have their fun, especially when Mr. Herman Oelrlch. 1. In the field. He made a .creaming farce of the benefit baseball game for the New- port player, on Wednesday last, and was ablr seconded oy Mr. Daniel Fearing, the captain of tba picked Uatu, and Mr. Edward Bulkier, who made errors after tho most artlttlo fashion, and Justified by hi. diversified and contradictory play all tha lnoonstttenclea of the umplre'a de- cision.. It was unique and original baseball, but everybody had hla money's worth of fun, than which nothing is better worth having. Golf, golf, nothing bat golf, has been the cry ot the week at Lenox, and It ha. been played with .kill and spirit under various-vicissitud- e of wind and weather. On Tuesday the window. of heaven wera opened .0 wide that the epick and span red coat, aud parti-cnlore- d stockings of the players were swiftly reduced to pulp. In common w 1th the around they were playing on. Play went on. however, against these odda, and younp Bayard Cutting, to whom mud and v. atcr seemed no obstacle, drnve hla brasser ISOjsrda repeatedly, nnd stood nt the head of the list when tbe games wero over. Dr. Klnni-cct- t, with true professional humanity, camo to the rescue of the spectator, as well aa players, by giving a substantial luncheon to over a hundred guests. On the following day unexpected Arctic rephyrs helped to dry the soskod and steaming earth, but little p!ny waa possible. Five o'clock tea, however, was largely J attended, and very Jolly. The foreign element in the diplomatic nt at Lenox this summer ha. given Ufa nna animation to f ociety, v hich for some reason Americans have failed to Impnrt. Indeed, there hat been a great deal of grumbling In both Newport nnd Lenox at the llttleunesi and uncomern of American youth, whore 'h presence of women was ooncerned. Aa a general thing unmarried men have banded themselvet into a leaguo of defence against a possible matri- monial Invasion of their rank., which, a. a mat- ter of fact, no one was solicitous to make, nod thoso who are already married are apnareitly bo alarmed at tbe progress of the new womat toward trraevcry border, of their kingdom that they have etriven to keep their wlfes and daughters from all possible contact with her. Foreigners, having no fear of pitfalls nnd with whom politeness Is the first article ot the social creed, have thus oome largely to the front, and made themaelves Indlspensablo to tho enjoy- ment ot all social gathering.. With tbo cloto of tho golf tournament tha brilliancy of tho Lenox season will begin to fade. There Is llttlo or no prospect of bsllsor dance.. Elm Conrt will certainly not be the eceno of very much gajety-- at least not Ju.t yet at Mra. Sloane haa come to town to meet her daughter. Mrs. Burden, and will make a llttlo tour with her before returning to Lenox. Thoro will be dinners of course, and house par-tie- s, who will enjoy driving, riding, golf, and other outdoor pleasures, but dancing does not enter largely into the dreams of even tho very young at this period of the world's history. Mlneola fair ba. been the centre of Long attractlone during the last week, and traps of all aorta, from to pony carts, have taken sportsmen, both masculine and feminine, from Westbury, Hempstead, and Cedarnur.t to see trotting matches and criticise the blooded stock on exhibition.

ji The discrepancy between these two ver-- ,i'slons Is not essential. It is evident that tho

Cant.Cant has been defined to bo an empty,

solemn speech, professing more religioussentiment than is really felt

A timely illustration of what constitutescant is furnished by this utterance in thespeech of WILLIAM JBNM.NOB HltYAN at thoAmerican House in Boston on Friday:

"lam a believer In AlmlgMr Ood applause, andmr prayer la that He may give rue strength to bearwhatrver responsibilities ara reposed In me. and wis-

It must havo been an audience of queerpersons who thought it proper to applaud apublic man for announcing his belief in theDeity!

Mr. Bbyan's prayerful reliance on Provi-dence is pralsoworthy if it is sincere; but itis difficult for tho average unregeneratoman to understand how any ono who isadvocating the establishment ot a dishonestdollar can look for'auy assistance fromHeaven.

A Schomo of Certain Reformers.Tho now Constitution provides that In

tho three cities of the first class, New York,Brooklyn, and Buffalo, the Mayor shallconcur In tho final adoption of every " spe-

cial city law local in Its application, theapproval of the Governor being made sub-ject to such acceptance." But no sim-

ilar provision ot law or of the Constitu-tion requires the acceptnnco by cither thoMayor of New York or the Mayor ofBrooklyn of sections or clauses In the re-

port to tho Legislature of tho Greater NewYork Charter Commission.

In spito of this deficiency, however, theviews, sentiments, and opinions of MayorStp.ong have been sought by those munic-ipal reformers who desire to engraft upontho scheme of a truly Greater New Yorktheir pot notion nnd device, a " statisticalbureau for the publication of arithmeticaltables of ratio and percentages." It is, Inother words, a bureaucratic devico forgivingemployment to theoretical nnd unemployedstatesmen at the public expense, if not forthe public benefit.

Undoubtedly there nro in the UnitedStates sotno philosophers who derive pleas-ure and instruction from the perusal oftho statistical reports sent out from Wash-ington from tho Board of Lighthouses,from tho Seed Department of the Bureauof Agriculture, from the special agentson Indian reservations, nnd from the ;

teorologlsts of the Alaska Territory; orat leant they imagine that such readinggives them joy. When Congress is in ses-

sion, nnd especially when questions otbucolic interest engngo tho attention of themembers present, the Conuresatontil Ilccnrdhas a Jtrge circulation, and probably theroaro those who read It through withavidity, but their number cannot be great.Tho bound volumes of weather reports con-taining early and sometimes unsubstantialprophecies may furnish palatable literaryfood for some people. In New York there Isn gloomy clique of theoretical reformerswho think thoy provide a cure for all publicabuses aud municipal Ills by tho publicationof elaborate and monotonous statistical re-

ports, which probably aro read by them-selves at least. They get tip, for instance,special reports on the percentage of sodiumin the Croton water on Sept. C5, 1800, ascompared with the percoutago on thopreceding Sept, SB of alternate years since1870. Still another favorite subject ofstatistical inquiry by theso laborious phi-losophers is ' the ratio of gallons of waterrequired In the extinguishing of Ares InNew York city in 1800 as compared withthe number of gallons required for the sameservice in 1806." Still nnother is "the re-

lation of poverty to suicide, based on tablesfurnished by the Publlo Administratorshowing the value of clothing and eiTeotsof successful suicides, in groups often years" Tho ratio of illiteracyin words of Now York compared withthe nupiber of miles of streets swept In suc-cessive months, h another fruitful subject;and In the same category is to be includedthe ratio of runawaj s In Central Park com-pared with the mean average flow of thaBronx River, the equation betwecu tho twoestabllshlngjln the view of some of theseproftsalouei municipal retormere a VJIC lfor

estimating tha progress In the art of drivingby land and of navigating by water.

Tho value of such figures must bo plainto every one In this busy town, and the es-

tablishment and maintenance at the publtoexpense of a Bureau of Statistics would filla long-fe- lt want, In the view of theso reform-

ers. They have accordingly submitted theirgrand schemo to Mayor Stoono, and whathe has to say on tho subject is this:

"IbaDavatbeldeaagoodooa, considering It oasu-all-

as I hare oertalnly fall tha need of such a depart-

ment tinea I became Mayor."

The Mayor approves, casually. Ho hasfelt, along with the need ot many otherthings, the necessity ot such a departmentsince ho became Mayor. The dearth ot sta-

tistics reroaling as in a brightly burnishedmirror the profound and occult undercur-rents of the municipal government in NewYork, may not have Impressed itself uponothers, but it finds tho favor of the wilyMayor STRONG, casually. Ho would like toknow what some of the boys whom he hasappointed to offlco aro doing to Justifytheir selection under tho Powor of Re-

moval bill, and to ascertain what somootbor boys appointed by him are not doingfor tho public benefit. He would like, casu-ally, to get facts and figures, political " X"rayB, on the movements of Brother Lauter-BAC-

for instance, or tho political effects ofLl HUNO Ciiano tea on Brother Platt.

Would a Bureau of Statistics, however,be a good thing for the city of New York,actually and not casually t Should thodemand for such a department lie satisfiedin the proposed charter of tho Greater NewYork f Can thero bo foundreformers willing to undertake tho Job ofkeeping the supply ot figures in perpctua)motion, provided the appropriation should besufllcieut, or would thorn dry but noble soulsagree to pay for the boon ot statisticsthemselves r Who can tall f Tho study ofarithmetic is a good thing.

' We figure to ourtelveeThe thlugwullke, aud then wo build It upAi ccanoa will ha 0 It, on tha rook or Bind."

Would tho statistical reformers do a thinglike that t Probably. Not casually.

Amcrlcan-bull- t War Ships.

The fuvorablo report Just made by theJapanese naval ollltcrs upon the plans ofthe Messrs. Cramp and tho Union IronWorks for building two fast cruisers, willdoubtless bo followed by u formal award ofcontracts for such vessels. The displace-ment proposed is understood to bo about5,000 tons, and tho speed 22 knots.

Thus Japau will bo the first of Old Worldnations to draw war vessois from Americanyards, just as Russia, another good friendof ours, was foremost to seek armor for herbattle ships in American foundries. Wemay also believe thut, as this armor hasalready carried its own recommendation, sothe two cruisers w liicli Japan is expected toorder will be a credit to American ship-wrights.

Only a dozen years ago tho first group ofBtcel war vessois ewr undertaken in thiscountry was still under construction. Adozen years ago we had not oven begun tomake plates for battle ships. The progresswhich has since been achieved Is extraor-dinary, nnd It is largely due to starting iuthe right way. A short time after the steelfleet was begun, Congress declared that allnew vessels for it must be wholly of Amer-ican material. That meant, for n time, anincrease in cost over similar foreign ships,but tho result was to put American ship-building on a firm basis, and to prepare itfor its presenttnumphit.

It has been suggested that Japan would,from frlondly considerations, be glad tohave American yards represented In hernew navy; and It would cortalnly showboth friendship and wisdom for her to do so.But it is not necessary to go bev oud ordinarybusiness considerations in order to find mo-

th es for tho recent favorablo reports of horofficers. Not only has American armor beenfor several years equal or superior to thebest anywhere else constructed, but in thoRussian contracts our armor makers w ereactually to underbid their Europeanrivals. And as to our war vessels, thoprices have steadily fallen, as tho recentproposals for battle ships and torpedo boatsshow. What tho quality of Americancruisers has come to be, Japan understandswell In her dealings with the builders of theMinneapolis and the Olympia.

Tho Jew Halting In Europe,Tho most striking contribution to the

current number of the A'tncfecnfh Centuryis an article by Dr. Eiil Reich on tho

c movement which has acquiredso much momentum in Germany nndAustria. The most interesting feature ofthe article is the author's demonstrationthat the movement is directed not againstJews of tho tjpe, but againstthe now Jews, the reformed Jews, tho verymen who are tending to become like Chris-tians through strhlng to accommodatethemselves to modern civilization. A proofof this Is put forward In the fact that no in-

considerable number ot the fiercest anti-Semit-

in Germany nro to bo found amongthe conservnthe Jews; to the funds, for in-

stance, collected for the inlislon ofSTOECKKR, tho arch Jew-bait- of Berlin,certain bankers of that town subscribedvory largely.

The vogue of the word isascribed by Dr. Reich to tho fact that It isno mere synonymo for tho traditional hos-tility of Christians to Jews, but rcnllymeans something novel. It does not standfor precibely the old persecution of theJews, or rather it does not signify the per-secution of that kind ot Jews who were thoobjects of nntlpathy In former centuiies.The Stoeckers and Ahlwardts and Lueo-er- e

and Drumonts nnd the other Europeanleaders of the c movement, donot really hate the small Jew, the orthodoxJew, the petty trader In foreign garb and ofstrange manners. Him they look down upon ;

and nobody wants to destroy the subjoots ofhis disdniu, menim the per-secution of the emancipated Jew, of the Jewwho is a doctor, a professor, a playwright,a Journalist, a lawyer, In one word, of thegentleman Jew. It is their invasion ot thehighest strata ot society which is relentedso ferociously. How far that Invasion hasgone in Germany Dr. Hkich Indicates bysome statistics. Ho shows, for liibUnte,that in the years 1870-8- 1 the Jewishstudents nt the Berlin Gimnanlcn (institu-tions which correspond rather to our col-leges than to our academies) formed no lessthan 17 per cent, ot the total, In 1887 theJews furnished 10 per crnt. ot the studentsat Prussian universities, although thoyformed only 1( per cent, of tho populationof Prussia. Nearly 10 per cent, of theJudges in Prussia are Jews, and at thohighest law court of the German empire atLelpslc, thero nro ten Jewish Judges amonga total of 70, In certain towns the propor-tion Is still higher; thus of the 67 barristersat Breslau a I are Jews; and of tho1100 lawyers of the law court, or Land-gerich- t,

lu Berlin In 1860, no less than

COO were Jows. In tha twenty-on- o univer-sities of Germany thero were In 1888 nofewer than 104 Jows among the regularprofessors, that Is 8 per cent, of tho total,while of tho privatdooenten, or tutors andprospective professors, tho Jews form 18per cent. In tho university of Vienna therowere in 1885-8- 0 two thousand and oddJewish to throe thousand and odd Chris-

tian students. In Hungary, Italy, andFrance tho statistics show similar results,proportlonably, though, of course, tho fig-

ures aro no't so startling because In thosocountries the Jews constitute a muohsmaller clement of the (population. InFrance thero are scarcely over 70,000 Jows;whereas thero are 000,000 In Germany and1,600,000 in Austria,

Dr. Reich Is not ono ot those who holdthat is entirely without ex-

cuse. Ho finds tho principal pretext for itin a certain wast ot social tact at timesevlnrcd by tha new Israelites. Tho Jews,who in the last century wero still to a con-

siderable extent outsldo the pale ot tho law,havo all at unco obtained not only full civilrights but access to tho learned professions,and to every channol of Influence and power.Unquestionably thoy have mads a wonder-ful use of their opportunities, and they aronot unnaturally vain of it. It may be thatsometimes this vanity takes on a super-cilious, arrogant, and even contemptuousospcot. But this is a transient phenomenon,which will inevitably pass away In propor-tion as tho assimilating process Js carriedout. Dr. Reich says that in Germany alarge number of new Israelites have takenthe lesson of to heart, andhave redoubled their efforts to blend withtho nation whoso members they aro.

Registration and Voting.

Tho Bureau of Elections estimates thecost of registration and voting in New Yorkcity this year at 8410,000. The totnl votecast on Nov. 8 will ba not less than 800,000,but probably more.

In tho Presidential election of 1884 thetotal registry in this town was 840,000. Inthe Presidential election of 1888 it was880,000; in that of 18U8 it was 800,000.At the same rntlo of Increase, from 1898 to1800, as marked tho increase from 1S88 to180'-.-, the registration this year should beabout 830,000, exclusive of tho gain invoting population from the three newly an-

nexed Westchester county townB, whichbecame officially a part of New York onJuly 1, 1805. Tho total vote in those an-

nexed townships was 2,411 last year, andas thero has bcon no wholesale exodus fromthem, of which any ono has heard, itseems reasonable to allot 8,500 newvoters to tho poll of 1800 by reason of thoincreased area of the city. Tho fact is notto bo lost sight of, however, that throughtho multiplication of restrictions on voting,first applied in 1808, and increased by thorigorous provisions of the registration lawadopted last year, voting hns been madomore difficult in Now York than formerly,nnd the number of "stay-at-home- " or" o " voters hns become greator.A probable vote of 800,000, or ten per cent,short of what may be accounted a n normalregistry of 300,000, may therefore, be de-

pended upon. If tho registration, voting,nnd canvassing is to cost this year 8440,-00- 0,

according to the official estlmntomado, the average cos to the city of each

ote polled will be SI. 30; and with honestmoney and law and order trinmplinnt onNov. 3, who will stand up and deny that itis worth tho price ?

Heretofore, nnd In fact sluco the passagoof tho registration law In April, 1878, thesewero the days fixed for registration : on theTuesday of the fourth week preceding thedata of election the first enrollment of thovoters took place On tho Wednesday ofthe third week preceding election day, camothe second enrollment; and on the Fridayand Saturday of tho second week beforeelection day the third nnd fourth enroll-ments wero mado respectively. One wholeweek elnpsed between tho last day of enroll-ment and the beginning of tho week inwhich tho election was held, affording am-ple opportunity for the preparation of thoregistry lists and their subsequent scrutiny.Prior to thnt there had been in New Yorkthree registration days: tho first on thoTuesday three weeks before election, thesecond on tho Friday before election, andthe third 6n tho Monday before election, or.In other words, tho day before election.This nrrangrmeut of registration dayR, Itwiib freely charged, made possible electoralfrauds. There aro no such frauds now;thero is no claim or pretence of any.

The four registration days this year are:Friday, Oct. 0; Saturday, Oct. 10; Friday,Oct. 10, and Saturday, Oct. 17. The lastLegislature made n change lu the dates, forthe purpose, as Its advocates said, of mak-ing uniform the registration dates through-out the Stnto. Whatevor merit there maybo iu thnt, It Is clear that for Now Yorkcounty the changu is not 1111 Improvement,for under the old system tho convenience of

oters w as served by a cholto of dajB, onoTuesday, onu Wednesday, ono Friday, andone Saturday being put aside for register-ing This car. If tho business or profes-sional engagements ot tho voter nro such thatho Is employed on Fridays and Saturdays,tho ('banco of his losing his vote Is greaternow than heretofore. On the other hand,however, tho convenience of the city electorshas been sered by a chango in tho hours ofregistry. Heretofore theso hours wero from8 o'clock in the morning until 0 o'clock Inthe evening. This year's hours are from 7in tho morning until 10 in tho ovening, orono hour earlier in the morning and onolater in tho evculng. The election

instead of receiving 50 for eachday of registry, now got 96 for tho sameservice. In other words, tho hours havebeen lengthened nnd the pay has beenshortened; but tho voters generally, ex-

clusive of those engaged ns such inspectors,will have more time nnd a better oppor-tunity for enrollment, nnd the cost, borneby the citizens of the county, will bo lensthan heretofore.

The popular Interest in this year's electionoutweighs here all past records. The pro-found concern In tho successful outcome ofthe campaign against Repudiation 1b discern-ible on every hand. An abnormally largeregistration on the first day, larger probablythan on tho llrnt day of registry lu any pre-ceding Presidential or other election in NewYork, la, therefore, certain. It is safe, too,to wager that the number of citizens whogo early ou the llrst day will be larger thanever before,

Our Methodist Episcopal contemporary,ZUm't Herald, congratulates the ministry upontheir chanee of atyle. It seems that they havediscarded the " long: black coat and the longsanctimonious face." "The minister who lookslike a bailors man, or, for that matter, like abicycler Id hla knickerbockers aud soft cap. Isnot now at a discount, but. Indeed, la at a pre-mium In the exchange of soul with soul." Woguess that these remarks of Zion't lltrald arecorrect. Lots ot the ministers In Nt York areblc) clrrs and aportimeo. They take part la thabicycle races; they compsta for thi prises at

stolf and other gamut torn of thtm Ilk lo seaa good horsa race. Half tha time you can't talla minister from an ordinary man. Tha loneblaek cost and tha sanctimonious faoa were allright In the dark ngea, but are not at all neces-sary for the ministry tn thtse enlightened times.Wa do not suppose It woold be regarded as sin-ful for a minister to preaeh from the pulpit In ablkioESutt.

Prlneo BlSliAItCK Is willing to see us tryon the experiment of the free coinage of silver,more espeolallr If we make tba venture "all,alone by ourselves," after the BnrAH plan.That Is not wonderful. Germany could look onunharmed. It could watoh the game with curi-ous Interest; but ot course neither Disuaboknor Germany has any notion ot taking anyshare In tha venture. Tha funeral will not batheir funeral. It wtll ba all our own; apd theyesn enjoy the satisfaction of standing aloof asaptotatort ot our doleful progress to tha graveof financial stability and seourtty, and drawfrom It valuable lessons for application at home.BtsuAncs Is an old man, but he keaps his witsabout him.

Now that the gold "color" has been seenalong many of tha ereeka In that part of Venez-uela to which England has laid claim, It willba harder than aver for the English to abandontheir olstm to tho disputed territory.

Wo recently printed an Interesting pleoeot news about a Brooklyn woman who Is wait-ing to gat her abare of tha property left by oneot her ancestors, a eea rover, CapU Wrrrnz,who died In tha Netherlands nlnety-flv- a yearsago. It wai In an irregular way that the Cap-

So while wo do not pro-pose any war upon casllal, we do wish to allowtbe humblest man an equal chanco to get richwith everybody else. When one starts poor, asmost do In the race of life, free society is suchthat he knows he can better his condition; heknows that there Is no fixed condition of laborfor his whole life.

The Pope and tba Anglican Orders,To the EniTon op The Sck Sir: Will you

kindly permit me apace for a few brief state-ments In reforence to the reported condemna-tion of Anglican orders by Leo XIII. T

I. The movement which led up to this de-cision was not started by Lord Halifax, but bya French priest, tho Abba Portal. Anothermost dlitlngnUhed French priest, tho AbbeDuchesno. warmlv supported tho validity ofAnglican ordinations, and Anally an InquiryInto the mcrita of the question wot ordered atRome. The part of Lord Halifax and the Eng-lish priest. Father Puller, waa merely to coop,crate with the French priests and assist them Intheir efforta to mnko Rome's practice with ref-erence to Anglloan orders square with the factsof history.

II. The object of tho movement waa not tobring about "the reunion of tho Church ofEngland to tho Church of Rome." but to belterthe relations of these great sister Churches byremoving tho chief cause for Irrltatinu, Rome'spractical of Anglican orders,and her reordinatlon of tho Anglican prlestawho occasionally wander Into hor fold. ThoFranco clergy reccgnlio this aa the first neces-sary step toward the restoration of

between the Anglican and RomanChurches.

III. " The process of Incorporation by means ofIndividual conversions" is deplored by thoFrench olergy to whom I have referred, becauseit simply aggravates the strained relations ofthese Churches. It It, moreover, a process dis-tinguished for Its practical failure both In Eng-land aud In thla country, for whllo Rome re-ceives many ndherenta from tho Protestantbodies, she recehes very fow. Indeed almostnone, from tho Anglican Church, and the fewAnglicans who seek rest wUhln her bordersusually return to the Episcopal Church.

IV. At for tho practical effect of this reporteddecision on the Angll can Church, there is none,for the Anglican Church stands y n here Itdid before the present Pope ordered this In-quiry, perfectly sure of the validity of Its orders.Its priests will continue without hesitation tocelobrate mass and to give absolution: Itsbishops will continue to ordain prlesta. and tbelaity will continue to he ruled by their lawfulaplrltual pastora. Anglicans have never ap-pealed to the I'opa for bin approval of theirorder, nnd they are not disturbed by hla disap-proval. They are contont that Rome shouldbalance the adverse decision of Infallible Leoagainst the unmistakablo facts of history andthe undoubted recognition of Anglican ordersby Pope Paul IV.

So ended tha ralgn ot Lucullua In his king-dom ot Newport. That thero ara many peoplestill left In the city by tha sea was shown by tholarge attendance at Mr. Walter L Eane'afuneral, whloh Included all tha largo Kanaconnection and tha winter aa well aa the sum-

Whatever happens, Newport man are boundto have their fun, especially when Mr. HermanOelrlch. 1. In the field. He made a .creamingfarce of the benefit baseball game for the New-port player, on Wednesday last, and was ablrseconded oy Mr. Daniel Fearing, the captain oftba picked Uatu, and Mr. Edward Bulkier, whomade errors after tho most artlttlo fashion, andJustified by hi. diversified and contradictoryplay all tha lnoonstttenclea of the umplre'a de-cision.. It was unique and original baseball,but everybody had hla money's worth of fun,than which nothing is better worth having.

Golf, golf, nothing bat golf, has been the cryot the week at Lenox, and It ha. been playedwith .kill and spirit under various-vicissitud- e

of wind and weather. On Tuesday the window.of heaven wera opened .0 wide that the epickand span red coat, aud parti-cnlore- d stockingsof the players were swiftly reduced to pulp. Incommon w 1th the around they were playing on.Play went on. however, against theseodda, and younp Bayard Cutting, to whom mudand v. atcr seemed no obstacle, drnve hla brasserISOjsrda repeatedly, nnd stood nt the head ofthe list when tbe games wero over. Dr. Klnni-cct- t,

with true professional humanity, camo tothe rescue of the spectator, aswell aa players, by giving a substantial luncheonto over a hundred guests. On the following dayunexpected Arctic rephyrs helped to dry thesoskod and steaming earth, but little p!ny waapossible. Five o'clock tea, however, was largely Jattended, and very Jolly.

The foreign element in the diplomatic nt

at Lenox this summer ha. given Ufanna animation to fociety, v hich for some

reason Americans have failed to Impnrt.Indeed, there hat been a great deal of grumblingIn both Newport nnd Lenox at the llttleunesiand uncomern of American youth, whore 'hpresence of women was ooncerned. Aa a generalthing unmarried men have banded themselvetinto a leaguo of defence against a possible matri-monial Invasion of their rank., which, a. a mat-ter of fact, no one was solicitous to make, nodthoso who are already married are apnareitlybo alarmed at tbe progress of the new womattoward trraevcry border, of their kingdom thatthey have etriven to keep their wlfes anddaughters from all possible contact with her.Foreigners, having no fear of pitfalls nnd withwhom politeness Is the first article ot the socialcreed, have thus oome largely to the front, andmade themaelves Indlspensablo to tho enjoy-ment ot all social gathering..

With tbo cloto of tho golf tournament thabrilliancy of tho Lenox season will begin tofade. There Is llttlo or no prospect of bsllsordance.. Elm Conrt will certainly not be theeceno of very much gajety--at least not Ju.tyet at Mra. Sloane haa come to town to meether daughter. Mrs. Burden, and will make allttlo tour with her before returning to Lenox.Thoro will be dinners of course, and house par-tie- s,

who will enjoy driving, riding, golf, andother outdoor pleasures, but dancing does notenter largely into the dreams of even tho veryyoung at this period of the world's history.
