Where Mary Anderson Worship.
ped ON Palm Sunday.

Palm Sunday is always an impor-
tant day with a large class of Chris
tian worshipers, and last Sunday was
no exception. The Catholic and
Episcopal churches were unusually
well attended.
Thatit is commemorative Of the tri-
umphant entry of Christ into Jerusa-
lem is in itself sufficient to secure a
Urge attendance, but Sunday an
other incentive was added.
1t has been announced through the
press that Miss Mary Anderson, the
distinguished actress, as she is larry
ing here during holy week would at
tend st. Peters church. Before the
usual hour for the mnrning service
people began to collecta about
the cathedral, anxious to catch
a glimpse of the beautiful
young woman-to step behind the
scenes" as it were. By ten o'clock
the cathedral was pretty full, even the
aisles being occupied, and an expect
ant throng hung about the vestibule
and pavement. The interest Of some
who are not credited worshipers
seemed to center upon the street door
instead of the altar. The curious
spectacle Of persons with their heads
set on backward was presented in the
pews, of beaux standing first on one
leg and then on the other about the
entrance, and elegantly dressed ladies
c~raning their necks over the shoulders
Of their male companions to the utter
disregard Of such vanities as bangs
and ruches.
While all this was going on Mis-,
Anderson quietly wendell her way to
st. Patrick's church on the corner of
Linden and DeSoto streets, nearly
mile away. If she wished to avoid
the crowd ssand to be allowed 10
worship in her own sweet way, she
had her wish. Only a few of the
members ofSt. Patrick's were present.
Father Quinn oficiated, and he
performed the impressive ceremonies
with deep effect. As 500 as it was
over he had occasion to walk to the
door and in passing recognized a
attired visitor as Miss Ander-
son. She was accompanied by her
brother to whom he introduced him
self and who in turn introduced Miss
Anderson.
The worthy father expressed regret
that he had not known of the pres
of his fair visitor and her escort,
that he might have provided a pew
nearer the altar. The lady replied
that she was happier in the less con-
.spicuOus place she sat in. A few
remarks followed when Miss
Anderson and her brother modestly
took their leave. The incident was
beautiful, and also a rare one, for it is
not often hat a foot light faTorite
q moral lesson to the commu-
nifty she has entertained.

The doctor then paid some high cow
pli,nents to American science, and closed
his lecture as follows:
"How to restore the health when broken

study. That one of the greatest revela-
lions of the present day has been made in
ascertaining the true seat Of health TO be

The Price Of Dawes and HOar.

The Price Of Dawes and HOar.
Boston Globe.l
Let us see what price has been paid
tor the support Of reputation by
Messrs, Dawes and Hoax. Mr.. Hoar
is chairman Of privileges and elections
and member ofthree other committees.
Mr.. Dawes is chairman Of Indian
affairs and member of three other
committees, including the appropria-
tons, a place which ranks with an
ordinary craftsmanship. Both Of them
are placed high; but how did they get
there2 BY Mahone's vote. How was
Mahone's vote secured? By the prom
ise Of federal patronage to aid the
party OF reputation in Virginia, and
by the promise Of naming two senate
officers whom even the organs now
denounce as unfit for the places.
The contract was made with Malone,
the Virginia repudiator, that if he
voted for the organization which gave
Dawes and Hoar these prominent
places on committees the Massachu-
sets senator's would support the men
whom he named for places in the SER
vice Of the senate. As the New York
Sun says: IF Senator Dawes and
Hoar had gone into the oDen market
and bought their places with money,
as some senators have bought their
seats, the transaction would have
been no more degrading than it now
appears. They traded off the honor
and tie good name of the senate"
