ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
AXE CHAUTAUoUA, N. Y, July 29-In the
days when Chautauqua was Of decidedly
Methodist sentiment for an Episcopalian to
appear upon the platform would have been
considered direct affront to that praise.
worthy organization. No one thinks of it as
methodist now, for iu has grown broader and
better until every denomination now enjoys it
as home and is welcome on the grounds. Last
Sunday Rev. N. s. Rulinson, a Bishop of the
Episcopal Church preached, and again to-day
lectured on "Sight and Insight" Sight among
the senses stands like love among the virtues;
hrst, the man with open eyes need not be In
trance to see great visions. More of natures
wonders are revealed TO the sight than to any
outer sense. Sight should not only be a source
of pleasure but a source of knowledge.
Our education is coming to be largely a thing
of object lessons. This superiority of sight
may be applied TO religion. Spiritual insight is
somewhat rare. 1t is the highest source of re-
ligious knowledge and appreciation. The man
who has something before his eye which inter-
ests the actinic ray Of truth will never be WISE
Many things which are invisible are none the
less real; hope, fear, love. virtue, and we can
not obtain these without spiritual insight.
Inere are people who have a great deal Of
knowledge but very little wisdom. They have
not learned the philosophy of knowledge. They
nave the facts, but they know not what to do
with them.

A Cooperative Hotel for Boston.
From the Boston Ira veler.

A new scheme for enjoying the benefits
of that law of social economies demon
strated by cooperation is on foot in Boston,
in the guise of a cooperative hotel in
which each family would own instead of
lease its apartment. 1t is estimated that
the expense will be only about one-third
that of building Independently. The plan
is to form a company with a capital Of
100000 An eligible site can be obtained
for $4,000 or $4,000 In building suites the
estimate is about $1,000 to a room !;
thus a ten-roomed apartment could
be had for about $4,000, ard
this would presuppose conveniences
and beauty which, in separate
house of corresponding quality. would cost
not less than 600 There is to be a great
central kitchen and laundry. If a family
desire their individual kitchen, in their own
suite, they can have it. With food ordered
from the kitchen for the private family
table, and the laundering all done outside
the Individual house. one maid would be
sufficient for the household service, and
would easily do the work of three servants
in house of corresponding size and require
ments Therewill also be arrangements made
for apartments on varying scale of prices.
If man desires to put in $4,000 or $4,000
he can have q suite corresponding to this
smaller investment.

The Most Common slisquotation,

What is the most common misquotation
in the English language" asked the in.
quistive member of the Cogburn Club,
this morning, as the purist entered. The
answer came promptly:
''When Greek meets Greek, then comes
the tug of war.
We'll, what is the matter with that?'
asked the inquisitive member.
"rhat is the most common msquotation
in the English language" responded the
purist. 81 heard the late Roscoe Conkling
say once that he won basket of wine
from Clement l.. Vallandingham on that
quotation. He wagcred that Mr.. Vallan-
bingham could not tell what the correct
words were, nor who wrote them, nor when
they were written. And he won on every
point Now put Yourself in Mr.. Vallan-
dingham's place. What would you have

'And |, "and l." came from all parts

"sWhen Greeks joined Greek, then was

a reporter of the Posi- had II talk with
Gen. Ayers the other day in regard to the
stocking Of our rivers with fish. Il have
made all the arrangements, said he, 'to
secure an abundance of young fish of

1t is to be hoped Gen. Ayers will carry
out his purpose as soon as possible. 1t
will be many years before the railroads
throughout this section are completed,
for as fast as one is finished another is
under construction. But if the law against
killing fish with dynamite is enforced. the
Young fish will be safe. The community

A Drunken Negro Rips Around and Deties
Arrest, but Is Taken In.

A lively fracas occurred Monday after
noon on Wyandotte avenue, caused by
Tom Pierson, colored waiter at the In
termont Hotel, who was raising a dis
turbance in the streets, being intoxicated,
and John Willis, who attempted to arrest
him. He resisted arrest, and threatened
to shoot Willis, by placing his hands on
his hip pocket, as if to get his revolver;
whereupon Willis fired FIVE shots ut the
negro, but none took effect. Gordon Gilly
arrived on the scene about this time, and,
after hard tussel, in which both fell to
the ground and engaged in rough and
tumble fight, succeeded in taking him to
the lookup. At the police court, Tues
day afternoon, two charges were brought
againstthe negro, one for disorderly con-
duct and the other for resisting arrest.
For the first oftcnse he was fined SIS and
costs, and for the second SIS and costs.
A charge was also brought against Mr..
Willis for indiscrectly performing his
duty as an officer and shooting with intent
