SAM JONES, WORK.

The GLOBE publishes this morning the
opinions of a number Of eminent Chicago
clergymen concerning the religious work
that Is being done in that city by Evange-
lists JONES and SMALL. With the eXcep-
ton of DR.. SWING these Chicago clerical
gentlemen are disposed to pass harsh judy
ment on their two humble fellOw-laboreTs
in the vineyard of the LORD. The objec-
ton to Evangelist JONES is that he is
coarse, unlettered man, and does not possess
the culture and dignity which they suppose
shall adorn the Christian pulpit. To pro-
fame ears, at least. this kind of an argument
Sounds a little strange coming as it does
from the ministers of a religion whose
founder was an uneducated man, and who
never had pulpit from which to preach.
Our recollection is that precisely the same
objection now urged against Evangelist
JONES was once urged against SIMON
PETER, and yet when the day of Pentecost
came the humble Galileean fisherman num-
bered his converts by the thousand, while
his educated critics stood by in dumb as
constituent 1t is barely possible that the
same condition of things exists to-
Jay III SulCdSOs w uiAO llC pCopAO
are flocking by the thousands to
hear JONES and SMALL the high-strung
pastors of the tony churches are preaching
to empty pews. However much or little
good may result from Parson JONES preach
ing, there is one thing certain, he is reach
ing class of people with his gospel that
has never been reached by the Chicago pas
tors. If he isn't doing CHRIsT's work he
is doing more like CHRIST did it than all
the preachers in Chicago have been doing.
He is going at it just in the same way that
JOHN and JAMES and PETER and the
other coarse and unlettered apostles of the
primitive Christian church. went at
it. He is talking to the people
in very plain language and when
g he sees a whited sepulcher he
he makes the fact known. Judging from
the character of the criticisms made by the
Chicago clergy on Parson JONES work, one
is inclined to think there are some whited
sepulchers in the Chicago pulpits as well Us
among the laity. We would kindly sug-
gest to Evangelists JONES and SMALL that
they get the entire clergy of Chicago into
the Casino, lock the door on them and then
preach to them until they are soundly con-
verted to the doctrines of primitive Chris
tianity.

MARY ANDERSON.

Miss MARY ANDERSON, who has been
termed the beautiful ice palace of dramatic
art, is on her way to the Northwest. Ever
since Miss ANDERSON did honor to the
simplicity of American institutions by re-
fusing to shake hands with the Prince of
Wales, she has occupied very warm place
in the hearts of the American people. She
enjoys the singular distinction of being the
only American girl who ever had the grit
to decline an introduction to his royal high
ness when the opportunity was offered. 1t
doesn't make any difference how cold
hearted she may be, or how many suitors
who admire her shining ducats she may
have rejected. The brave little woman has
demonstrated that she has sand in her craw,
and that's what pleases the plain yeomanry
of the Northwest. We are going to tack
our "Welcome" notices to the lintels of our
door posts when Miss MARY comes to see
us, and if British royalty doesn't like the
reception that we will give her. then Brit
ish royalty can make the most of it. The
honest American girl who esteems the
purity of her character of more value than
the favor of kings and princes is the woman
whom Americans delight to honor.

GIRLS CoNo1rEsrs.

No fault can be found with the good
taste which has led several foreigners Of
late to WOO and win the hearts and hands Of
American girls. particularly, surprising as
the fact may be. as IN these instances the
fortunes which usually prove the greatest
attraction to titled suitors cut no figure in
the love making. The men, possessing as
they do more than an abundance of this
worlds goods, are relieved from the sus-
picion of bowling before the shrine of
wealth instead Of worth and beauty. The
young women. though, can not be made
the recipients of the same unqualified con-
graduation, nor is the wisdom of their
choice open to so little question. The rec
ord of marriages between American girls
and tilted foreigners has not been bright
one. The widely divergent conditions TO
which the man and woman have been
accustomed are not of nature

THE POETRY OF ADVERTISING


There is land of bitter tears and wailing-
A land most like that drear one Dante
knew,
Where wan-taced Niobe, with dark robes
trailing,
In sad procession moves, brows bound with
rue.
1t Is a land peopled by witless mortals-
Compared with them the virgins Eve were
wise
And II is writ above its gloomy portals:
1--WE did not think It paid to advertise"
There Is land that flows with milk and
honey
Not the condensed, nor yet the sorghum
strains
Each dweller bears gripsack fat with
money,
Bonds. coupons, stocks and various other
gains;
Happy are these as, at high tide. the fishes;
No tear doth drown the laughter in their
eyes:
For better luck they have no sort OF wishes;
The cake is theIrs-they learned to adver-
tise.

THE LENTRN SEASON.

To those who feel that their consciences
have been more or less battered by contact
with the pomps and vanities of this wicked
world, the brief season of Lent is an admir-
able arrangement. 1t permits them to do
fall penance for the indulgences which they
have permitted themselves during the past
gay season, and at its conclusion begin all
over again without any scruples and with
the happy consciousness of having earned
the right to a renewed enjoyment of
the good things of life The sackcloth and
ashes, therefore, are not regarded with very
great distaste by those who are aware of
the necessity for spiritual regeneration.
To others, who are not impressed by the
ACCESSIBILITY of that kind Of repair the
Lenten season, even if regarded as only
period of rest, is no less welcome. Those
who dance must pay the fiddler, and, If
the dancing is continued with hardly any in
terruption during an unusually brilliant
social season the fiddlers' eXactions in the
way Of broken health and shattered consti-
tutiOns are apt TO be only too frequent

almost complete abstinence from late hours

mony. especially when considerations
other than those of pure affection
have influenced the union. Although, as
the French have IL, ''there is always one
who loves and who suffers herself OF HIM
self 10 be loved" when the consideration
for which an American girl suffers herself
TO be loved is a title. instead OF worthy
manhood, the prospect for continued hap
piness can hardly be called brilliant The
hollowneSs Of such an empty distinction is
apt TO become apparent very soon. The
American girl would do far better to
choose her life partner on the basis
of respect and affection from among
her own countrymen. No Others appre-
cate her as highly. and with no other is her
prospect for future content and happiness
as good.

WHERE MIR. Villas LIVES.

The postmaster generals house, as has
before been stated, is just OFF from the
Thomas circle, upon NJ street. and is very
large dOuble-frOnt house. 1t belongs to the
earlier style of architecture, when the first
improvements were begun in Washington
under Boss Shepherd. The brick work is
not very good. The front is very light
red, while the house Is trimmed with white
stone around the top of the windows and
the doors. The style Of the architecture is
cheap. The general appearance of the
house is suggestive of gingerbread. The
house is much better inside. The rooms
are large, well ventilated and comfortable.
1t is also well furnished. 1t can accOmmO-
date quite large crowd for entertaing.
