THE Boston Herald's Washington letter
reports Senator Logan as saying to the post
master-general "Mr. James, hope you
will probe the Star-Route corruption to the
bottom. Never mind whom it touches;
don't mind either those who will cry out
that the investigation will hurt the party.
Reform never ruins. You remember some
years ago we investigated in Congress the
sale of cadetships by Republican Represen-
tatives, and, as a result of the investigation,
ousted three of them. That didn't hurt the
party. That is forgotten now, and the par
ty survives uninjured-yes, all the better
for it. Since then no cadetships have been
sold by Congressman" 81 Will investigate,
regardless of consequences" responded tile
postmaster-general.

hear that Carl Schurz says that is the fact,
and know from two of Blaine's friends
that he says he had nothing to do with it.
Equally good authority tells me that White
law Reid made personal application to
Garfield to send in Judge Robertson's name
for Collector, on the ground that large
batch of the nominations of the kind the
President had already made, had disgusted
the only element in New York which meant
to stand up for him."

The turf Club, Twenty. sixth street
and Madison avenue, was illuminated
in honor of the event. Not content
with the effect OF gaslight from base
mcnt to roof, the enthusiastic club men,
in spite of the rain, bedt csed the front
with Chinese lanterns. They wanted tn
have fireworks, but this, it was found,
the police would not allow. IL was then
determined to give banquet at the
club in Mr. Lorrilard's honor. Subscrip.
tons were Immediately made and the
affair is to come of Monday evening.
1t was said by members Of the Turf
Club that, as a rule, not many bets have
been made by club men on Iroquois
Mr.. Rowland Robbins was reported,
however, TO have won 1000 on bets
laid in England some time ago, when
the odds against lrCquois were very large.
Mr.. Lorrilard himself was SAID to have
been a large winner on bets, as lie had
booked on other horses besides his own.
One bet of an interesting nature was ru.
mortd. 1t was said that when IroquoiS
was a yearling, Mr.. Lorrilard laid 100
guness against 5000 that he would win
the Derby. At that time the odds OF

chance of Iroquois was certainly not
then greater. Another bet reported was
one OF 300 guineas to $500, which it was
said would go to Archer and to Iroquois'
trainer. The clue gossip agreed that
the net result in bets was not greatly TO
Mr.. Lorrilard's advantage, but it is well
known that this is not a consideration
with him.
There are said to be few large winners.
One gentleman who laid large amount
when the odds were 20 10 / went yester
day to Cridge & Co.. and hedged to some
extent by laying TO | against Iroquoi..
He did not hedge TO a sufficient extent,
however, to prevent him from being q
large winner. Tom Gallagher, who
keeps the saloon next TO the Hoffman
House, laid $25 on lroquois when the
odds were 20 to l.. Day before yester-
day he placed 800 on him at G to /. Mr..
Gallagher says that at Kelly & Bliss,
day before yesterday, a man came IN
with the intention of laying 800 on Go
ologist. When told that Archer was 90,
ing to ride lroquois, he decided TO back
lroquois, a change OF mind that WIS

Calming an Audieace.

An old gentleman tainted on Monday
night at the Boston Park theater. His
son ran wildly up the aisle shouting

water was the next thing to fire and
began TO rush. Mr.. Whiting well known
in Detroit as leading man in Macauley's
company, who was playing John Sire

Miss Sarah Jewett and Miss Maud Har-
rison were on the stage and behaved
beautifully.

Harvard man in the front row.
"That's what we're willing to do II
you'll listen" replied Miss Harrison.
The next line was received with Il
tremendous round of applause.
"Do be calm, Lillian, said Miss Harri-
son, and the audience, approaching the
approposity of the situation, roared it
self into quiet and good nature. Had
Mr.. Whiting turned tail when the au-
diencc began to run there would have
been a terrible disaster. His behavior
was manly and commendable.

The Revision and the Church OF England.

The London Solicitors Journal says:
"a question has already arisen wheth-
er the revised edition of the New Tesla
ment may be used in churches when the
second lesson comes to be read. 1t has
been sand that the Church of England
has never tied herself down to partic-
ular translation, although where the
Bible forms a part Of the Book of Com
mon prayer-as is the case with the
Epistles and Gospels-the old version
must, by the very terms OF the act OF
uniformity, be used to the letter. There
is, however, direct authority for the pro-
position that even in the lessons the
authorized version must be used.
an 'Newbury VS.. Goodwin Il. Phil.
2S2), suit was brought against a cler-
gyman for Inter ALA irregularities in
reading the Holy Scriptures and q
monition was decreed against the de-
PENDANT to refrain for the future from
offending in the manner charged in the
articles.
"sir John Nichols said: The law
directs that a clergyman is not to dimln'
ish, in any respect, or to add TO, the
prescribed forms of worship Uniform
ity in this respect is one of the leading
features of the Church of England
Nothing is left to the discretion or fancy
of the individual, If any minister we're
to alter, omit or add according to his
own taste, this uniformity would soon
be destroyed, and though the alteration
might begin with small things, it would
soon extend itself to more important
changes OF the public worship of the
Established church, and even in the
Scriptures themselves the most impor-
tlut passages might be materially altered
under the notion of giving more cor
rect version, or omitted altogether as an
unauthorized Interpolation
"The principle of this case will, Of
course, hold good as regards any version
not authorized, although produced
under the authority of convocation. The
case appears to proceed upon the author
ity of the canons. The fourteenth canon
prescribes that all ministers shall OBJ
serve the order prescribed in the
Book Of Common Prayer, as well as In
reading the Holy Scriptures, and saying
of prayers, us in administration OF the
sacraments, without either diminishing,
in regard of preaching or in any other
respect, or adding anything in the matter
or form thereof Canon eighty also
directs that if any parishes be vet un'
furnished with the Bible Of the largest
volume, the church warden shall, within
convenient time, provide the same at
the like charge of the parish
"Both these canons clearly proceed on
the assumption that, whether altered or
not by authority from time TO time, one
uniform text shall be used at the same
time in all churches"

For strength to Withstand this power and
pride.
Down they came, marching from mountain

Massed and mighty together they stood
Weeping for joy, the strong, stern men,
And signed the Covenant in their blood.
And believing the Lord was on their side,
They flung to the winds all doubt and fear;
So they conquered the king in his power

And that was done in the great old year.
