Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1884-12-01

A correspondent Of the Boston Tran
script says in a letter from the Swedish
capital: Stockholm is a wild and giddy
town, unfit for theological students and
newspaper correspondents. 1t has cafes
enough to give one apiece to every in
habitant, and each cafe has its own
brass band; consequently the effect upon
Sunday is as If one had dropped into
circus unawares. One of the prettiest
Of the pleasure resorts, and right in the
heart Of the city too, is the Strom Par
terre, neatly kept little peninsula,
which iuts ont into the green waters of
the city Saltsjon, and affords q beautiful
.chestra which was unique in its way. It
numbered some seventy performers. all
Of whom were small boys. 1t was inter-
esting to see three feet of humanity try
ing to play six feet of bass fiddle, and to
find the big drum towering high above
its performer. But they make
good music and would make the fortune
Of any manager who should bling
them to America. / will not give your
readers an inventory of all the cafes
that passed (some Of which did not
pass) the first day of my stay in Stock
holm. Suffice it to say that at last
found myself in the Djurgarten at Has
selbackers. This dreadful name is not
Swedish for lookup" It is the pleas
ure park par excellence Of Stockholm.
Seated ii the open air; with q beautiful
view spread out on every side, the Stock
holmer can listen to excellent music and
drink his beer or coffee at the same
time. only wish that any words of
mine could impress the geniality, the
responsibility, the sobriety Of the picture
upon the American public Here are
entire families sitting contentedly in the
pure fresh air, taking recreation in a
manner which al can affoTd and which
will brighten up the entireweelk of labor.
They have attended to their religious
duties in the morning; the afternoon is
given to this absolute rest. There Is, Of
course, no trace Of intoxicatiOn, and
none Of the hurry and excitement Of an
American excursion. Stockholm Is abb
soluteIy encircled by beautiful suburbs.
The approach to most Of these ID by
water, and little steam launches carry
passengers in every direction.

A Few Facts,

NEW 1Ohhi NOV. ~ 1Oots
Dear Sir-Your immediate attention is called
to the fact that The Private Secretary, now run
ming at the Madison Square Theater, and which
has scored phenomenal comedy success in both
New York and London, is to be presented in
your city by Madison Square company at an
early date; and you are specially warned against
the unscrupulous attempt of designing parties
to palm off piece of farcical nonsense under
the somewhat similar title of 1.-THE Secretary 3"
and in many instances going so far as to infer a
connection with the Madison Square Company.
Such announcements are absolutely false, and
calculated to deceive, and should be emphatic
ally denounced. as the so-called Secretary"
Is NOT The Private Secretary.
1t is NOT The New York Success.
1t is NOT The Madison Square Play
1t is NOT from The Madison Square Theater,
And must not be COMPOUNDED with the latest and
greatest Madison Square Success, "The Private
Secretary" which is the sole property of this
management, whose rights will be protected at
all hazard. Respectfully,

THE pLENAaY COUNCIL.
Bishop Ireland Declares that No Action Will
Be Taken ON Total Abstinence.

Bishop Ireland Declares that No Action viii
Ise Taken ON Total Abstinence.
Baltimore Special.
Reports have been circulated that the plenary
council will take some decided action on che tenn
perance question Bishop Ireland the leader of
the Catholic temperance sentiment said to-day
There is no truth in the report that the council
can or will touch upon the total abstinence sub
jeet While we may adopt some of the princi
pies of total abstinence we will not declare out
right in Its favor as such a thing is out of the
question at this time. Other bishops of the
church also think that it would be very iInpol
itic for the church to take action as a church
on the temperance question. Whilo it might ad-
vocate temperance it could not we'll declare for
prohibition in the face of all the German Catho-
lies who, while temperate, will not be hampered
by prohibition laws.
/, The pastoral Of Archbishop Gibbons. read in
the Catholic churches few months ago forbade
the use of beer and other liquors at church fairs
aud pcnics The Redemptorist Fathers. how
ever, had understanding with the archbishop
by which the Germans were allowed to have beer
on such occasions. The German element prob
ably accounts for Bishop Irelands statement
that the penary council Will not declare for total
abstinence this time.
Bishops, like all other men, have hobbies
Now the hobby of Bishop McQuaid, of Roch-
ester, is education. In an interview to DAY he
said: THE government should encourage all
such schools, no matter under whose manage
every large city for both the parochial and
public schools" The bishop declared that the
educational system of the parochial schools in
Rochester was superior to the public schools.
When asked if it was violation of any law Of
the Catholic Church for Catholic parent to
send his children to the public schools Bishop
McQuaid answered: THE future success of this
country depends upon the morality of its citi
zens. Morality can only be gained through re-
lgious training, and no child can obtain that
training in public school, because in it there
are no religious exercises 1t is all very we'll for
parents to say that they can educate their chill
dren in the public schools and give them re-
lgous training at home, but they can do no
such thing" The Catholic Church, therefore,
holds that it is sin for parents to send their
children to the public schools. 1t is obvious
that the council will take some action on the
school question, but, like the total-ahstnence
question, it will touch the matter lightly, as in
this country, in the large cities, hundreds of poor
Catholic families send their children to the pub
lie schools and will continue to do so. They can
not afford to do otherwise Churchmen like
Bishop McQuald are, no doubt, in favor of
adopting the strictest measures, but more con
sentative and liberal members of the council
will oppose such action

A CONJUNCTION OF COMETS.
Three of Them Near Together-Encle's Ex-
pected To Be Visible Soon.


1t will not generally be known, but at present
there is very remarkable conjunction of comets
in our evening skies. If one leg Of pair of inn
aginary compasses be placed at point on the
celestial equator whose right ascension is %
hours and a circle be described on the sky with
a radius of about six degrees it will contain
within it three periodic comets Irefer to comet
and G, of this year. and Enckes well-known
comet of short period. Comet 9 is the only one
of these interesting bodies that is
Of the two others, Enckes is now
possibly just within the grasp of the most pow
erful telescopes, while comet B is just beyond
reach of the same nstrum ent B and will
cross paths within probably a degree of each
other. The fact that three comets are close
together is remarkable, but that each should be
ofsvery short period makes the conjunction all
the more memorable
A word in regard to Encke's comet may at the
present time be appropriate, AS is well known.
this comet has the remarkably short period of
three and a third years. 1t first became known
as periodic comet at its discovery by Pons i'll
1878 Encke did not discover this comet but
having made a thorough study of the theory of
its motion and pointed out its remarkably short
period, astronomers named it after him.
Encke's comet had been seen previous to 1878
in 17S6, 1885, and lS05-but on these occasions
its periodicity was not suspected. This object is
the most remarkable Of telescope comets on &C
count Of its singularly short period and the fact
that study of its motion points to probable
resisting medium lying in space nearer the sun
than the earth's orbit, which has the effect of
shortening the comets period of revolution by
two and half hours at each return.
The theory of this comet is well known that
astronomers can predict Its place in the sky al
most as accurately as that of a planet Its
present position is about eight degrees south of
the bright star Alpha Pegas, and its detection
by the telescope is nightly expected. The pres
emit return will be the twenty third upon record.
