A thoroughly national entertainment was the
one given last evening at Mount Washington
Library Hall by ladies interested in that insti-
tuition. The curtain rolled up on q very pretty
scene, the stars and stripes forming the back
ground The thirteen original States were
represented by well-known society ladies. In
the parsonage of Mrs. Doctor o. W. Sadler
was recognized the District of Columbia. In
well chosen words she reviewed the hardships
and trials through which the original ID States
passed. before declaring independence. Con-
graduating them upon their union, she intro
duced one at time the remaining AZ States in
the order Of their admission.
A very pretty idea was that of having the
four new States represented by little girls
little Lucy Sadler and Adelaide Bridly appear
ing as Washington and Montana; Gerty Heard
and Ella Jones representing the two Dakotas.
Utah was the only Territory absent at this
reunion. 1t was impossible to find any lady
who would assume that name with the dread
full curse of Mormonism upon it. 1t is plain to
be seen Utah would never be recognized in any
way were the ladies handling the Government
reins Mrs. DR.. ]. E. Miller appeared as God
dess of Liberty in very handsome costume.
MIS- Joshua 0oiubnofpe, IN 5Lars anu StElpts,
represented Columbia,
A vast amount of taste and originality was
displayed in the toilets of the ladies who took
part in this entertainment. Mrs. DR.. o. w.
Sadler, as the District of Columbia wore
soft white wool gown trimmed with silver and
copied from the picture of Roman Empress.
Miss Lottie Marland, as Mexico. appeared in
black lace and old gold and with her tair face
presented quite fetching picture of the
Spanish senorata. Miss Emily McMIllin, as
Alaska, was dazzling in a dress of cream with
deep green border cape and cap of sealskin
trimmed with icicles
Miss Emma Williams, as Kansas, wore cos
tune of white. trimmed with wheat and
sprnkled with grasshoppers. Miss Rhea Dali
Zell. as Florida, was radiant with tropical
flowers and singing birds. The Key stone State
was nicely represented by Mrs. Captain Nc
Millin. every item in her toilet having some
special significance. The dress of black silk
opened over a quilted white satin petticoat.
Her bracelets were of iron and steel, necklace
of jet. and panel of tiny refectors appeared
as natural gas.
Part second of the programme was composed
entirely of camp scenes and songs Prominent
young vocalists of the city made it very enter
tanning to all, especially Grand Army people.
At the conclusion OF the programme lunch was
served by the ladies in costume,

PECULIARlTIES OF TRADERS.
Wherein Germans and English Differ In
Handling Indian Trade.


Handling Indian Trade.
Correspondent London Times.1
A correspondent of the Times meets the COM
plant that trade in India and elsewhere is fall
ing into German hands. The truth is he tells
us, that the Germans are only taking the i'm
port trade. The export still belongs to US. The
reason is to be found in the very qualities
which mark the difference between German
and English clerks. To manage large export
business, Judgment in giving credits and great
power of organization is required. Here the
Engishman easily surpasses the German, and
finds his only formidable rival in the Greek.
To import piece goods, however, into India, and
to sell them to the natives requires minute
perseverance. industry and willingness to take
trouble about minutiae, and here the German
excels." The Englishman, if he imports, wants
to sell wholesale; the German is not above SELL
ing his bale or even his piece direct. "The En-
glishman may. perhaps, condescend to sell
bale or to work for per cent profit. The Ger
man is willing to sell piece, and to make u
per cent profit he is willing to waste hours"
In addition to this, the writer of the Times
letter states that one of tho things which hand
leaps the Englishman in the import trade is the
social loss of consideration which he suffers if
he engages in retail business The English
men who 60 abroad are generally drawn froma
class which holds retail trade in adherence,
and carry their prejudices with them. Hence,
if an Englishman takes to selling retail he loses
caste. HE is sailing rather close to the wind
if he sells single BALE but if he splits the bale
and sells by the piece he is anathema; he can
not dine with the Consul or play tennis with the
chaplain's daughters. The result is, he alb
stains from retail trade till wholesale trade alb
stains from him." AS a remedy the writer
suggests. "Englishmen who are not deferred by
social influence from selling retail' should go
abroad more largely than they do at present.
If they will do SO they will, he declares, prove
adequate competitors to the Germans now al
most alone in the field" s'

The New Theology.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
Rev. DR.. Smith, editor of the Christtdn Id
voeate. in talking with a reporter concerning
Mr.. Franks scheme reported by THE DIS
PATCH, of building rival of Chautauqua takes
occasion to say some unkind and untrue things
Of myself He says tried to start a church in
Jamestown, but was disappointed and gave uD
the project, when the facts are that my church
has in its society over 500 members. and is as
vital and vigorous church as any in the city.
He also said that the Lakeside School of New
Theology. founded by myself had been fail
ure, and had lost my money in it, stc., where
as never lost cent in that enterprise. and
my farm in Ohio has nos a modern adornment
in the shape Of mortgage on it. DR.. Smith
knows that the only reason for the interregnum
in the school was my sickness, which lasted
year. and in which my life was despaired of.
And the reason expect to resign the pastorate
of my church in jamestown is that my church
there is SO large that am afraid to undertake
the work, and have. therefore. come to this
city to organize a church, where, for time at
least, will not be under the necessity Of
preaching two sermons on the Sabbath.

Would you inform me through your paper If
q son born TO Consul, or any representative.

gland or any foreign country, can hold the
Office of PRESIDENT ]. NJ.
MCKEEsPoRT, September 26.
1.-THE question you ask turns up in the ed
itor's mail on an average about 81 times year.
and sometimes good deal ofteneE. Since
there is small probability of any person born
under the circumstances named ever running
for the Presidency, it is hard to understand
why SO many are speculating on the subject
Now, If you are the son of Consul and were
born abroad, get yourself elected President
and the Supreme Court will probably decide
whether you can hold the Office. That is the
only way to settle the question. The Constitu-
tion says only "a natural born citizen" can be
President, and that Is all it says about it,

death occurred to-day. Mrs. Siler has four
children. which she would leave at home
while at her work. Among the chill
dren is a 3-year-old boy who, the Coroner

has mania for using matches and setting fire
to everything that can be ignited. He set fire
to his baby SISTERS clothing. and held
a blazing paper to the infants face,
burning it SO terribly that it died
When the crowd had gathered in the house
after the infant had been burned to death, the
youpgster attempted to set fire to the clothing
of a neighbor's little girl, and was only pre-.
vented from doing so by force:
"If something is not done with that child"
remarked Coroner Wagner, when he gets
older he will be dangerous to be at large"
