to a well-known minister and made all
sorts of promises, declaring that he was
tired of the life he had led, and say
ing that he wanted to turn over
new leaf. He told the minister that he
was not married to the woman who bore
his children, and asked for advice. His
children were growing up, and, he said,
had never been christened. He thought
his reform would be complete If he could
have them baptized. All the ladies were
very much gratified and made arrange

children christened.

Omen on sunday.

After struggle OF ten years the doors
OF the Metropolitan museum in Central
park, New York. have been thrown open
to the public between the hours of p
m. and sunset on Sunday. The high
minded and far away trustees OF the in
stitution held out against the innovation
for long time, because they did not
wish to seem to be yielding to popular
clamor." II this was their only reason
every one of them ought to be bounced
from their high and mighty places. Pop
ular clamor indeedl What, pray, is
popular clamor but the voice of the great
people itself-that people who ina re-
public create trustees and public officials
of every kinds In this country there is
no higher will or rule than just the voice
OF this same people-'popular clamor,"
as the lofty trustees express it. A more
silly or absurd statement was never made
than that.
A reasonable person can understand
and respect the state of mind of an indi-
vidual who has conscientious scruples
against the opening of picture galleries
and other places of recreation on Sun
day: but one who refuses to do thing
just because majority of the people
want it done can only be characterized
as stupid and obstinate, and nothing
else. especially when he is the custodian
OF a building created and maintained by
the state for the benefit of these same
people.
However. popular clamor or no clam
or. the great and rich collection of art
works will for the present be opened to
the throngs of working people, who with
their children take their little outings
in Central park on Sunday afternoons
They win see in the beautiful Metropol-
titan museum the best representations Of
modern art and some mummies of old
Egypt besides.
