The sea serpent story improves with
age. The last specimen seen was 7s-
foot snake with one eye in the middle
of his forehead, bulls head and a
deer's antlers. 1t was red, white and
blue in color, rigid as telegraph pole
and propelled by a screw like a
steamers, at twenty-six knots an hour.
When caught this one will be worth
''tin cints peep" to see.

ORDERS FROM HOME.

The Washington correspondent OF
the PROVIDENCE Journal is evidently
working under pretty definite instruc-
tions from the home office. The follow
ing extract from yesterdays letter is as
disingenuous as the editorial utterances
of that paper:
Mr.. Aldrich used for his text his own
report on the course of prices, report
which shows that there was an apparent
falling of prices following the Mckinley
bill Of @l00 of per cent, and an in
crease of wages represented by "a similar
fraction. The fraction Of decrease of cost
of living would be reduced perceptibly IL
the item of sugar, which was made free,
were taken out Of the calculation. Ac-
cording to the report, If sugar were not
considered, there would be a fraction
showing an increase in prices for necessa-
ries OF life.
There are several errors of omission
at least. Mr.. Aldrich used as his text
the unanimous report of himself and
two Democratic and two Republican
associates. The apparent falling" in
price was an actual one, noted at the
beginning Of inquiry. AT its end still
further decrease had been noted.
Senator Carlisle complains that the
215 articles used in making the compari-
son were not considered in their pro-
portion to their actual nse, and that to
each an even value in the tables is given.
The Journal reporter says that, with
sugar out, there would have been an in
crease. AS sugar was only one of els
articles, and as the decrease in the cost
of the sugar was scarcely 30 per cent,
it is quite evident that the fall of sugar
counts for considerably less than half of
the noted reduction, say 14-hundredths
Of one per cent, leaving still an appre-
ciable reduction, with sugar out. But
who, in the name of fairness, but
mugwump would propose to leave sugar
out, when the American people are
saving sO,0OO,OOO? It's preposterous.
Senator Carlisle is right and the Jour
nal reporter is wrong, Intentionally
wrong it is to be feared. Such mislead-
ing mistatements, which do not even
mislead, so palpable is the arithmetical
error, are very unwisely placed before
the readers of the journal, which still
retains very intelligent and fairminded
constituency gained in the old Daniel
son days.

THE pECADENCE OF sECTARIANIsM.

The extremes to which certain over
Jealous clergymen have carried discus
sions on doctrinal subjects in the past
few years have lent great aid to modern
liberal thought in breaking down the
barrier between the various religious
sects, and the strength of sectarianism
is rapidly yielding to the common sense
of everyday Christianity.
There is no better illustration of this
thought than practice which has in
recent years become common, the log
ical result of which is easily apparent to
one who gives it more than momentary
attention. We refer to the now general
practice during the summer of congre-
cations of two or more neighboring
churches meeting in one church for one
period and in another for another
period while their respective pastors are
absent on vacations. This habit is not
confined to societies of like denomina.
tions. IL includes those widely diverg-
ent in the doctrine of final salvation.
In our own city there is case of this
kind-that of the Benefcent Congrega-
tional Church with its rigid traditions
of Calvinism on the one hand and the
Ceatral Baptist with its still mistaken
belief in the necessity of immersion on
the other hand. Instances, too, are well
known where Methodist and Presby-
terisn congregations worship i'm COM
mon. There is no difficulty in such an
arrangement. Fifty years ago a religi-
Gus society might have felt that IL was
partially forfeiting its identity by unit
ing in worship with another. To-day IL
is well established custom and neither
congregation has the slightest notion
that IL has detracted from the strictness
Of its own doctrine by such an act.

however, the Times does not seem to

Executive Secretary Jennings had so
many things to do last Saturday before
he went down to Rocky Point with the
veterans, and hustled about so in doing,
that he felt much less cool than usual.
AS he went through the hall of Butler
Exchange the young man at the news
stand said, Wont you try the new tenn
perance drink, Mr.. Jennings" holding at
the same time glass filled to the brim
with fine, clear red liquid with wreath
of foam on top. 1t looked like phosa
and Mr.. Jennings promptly sampled it,
against the foam. 1t was solid. The
whole affair was solid fake. It's there
yet. Look out for 1t.
Yesterday was cool enough to walk,
and the most beautiful walk anywhere
about I found to be the Mineral Spring
road from Pawtucket to Centredale, and
thence by the river road to Manton. It's
some eight miles, which some might con
slider excessive, but that's all in practice.
1t leads past the Lorraine mills into
North Providence and crosses In success
sion number OF hi gh ridges and beauti-
ful green valleys, each more beautiful
than the last. AT one point there is a
magnifcent view of PROVIDENCE lying
away down to the left, with the bay be-
yond and all the way are pretty brawling
brooks scolding at millwheels and fine
masses of dark green foliage, and the
farther hills away in three directions.
Toward the end of the walk came
upon the most astonishing dooryard
decoration" 1t consisted-this Is SOL
emn truth; you can 40 and find 1t for
yourself il you're in time-of a red and
yellow bucksaw leaning againt red and
yellow sawh orse, gracefully supported by
a rod and vQllOxy- handlQd md a hla,E
tea-kettle hung at one end. A particu-
larly knotty stick laid on the horse com
pletes a picture which people must go
miles to see and which casts in the shade
the stone (or iron) dog on Greenwich
street, and the rows of shining doorknobs
and foliage plant crescents in Others too
numerous to mention. Why do people

to be sacred from ridicule-their own

During the last eight days I carried
1905 passengers" said conductor on one
of the city's horse cur routes. These
figures mean good deal. They mean
that the conductor punched his green
ticket 4sO5 times, that he collected s54O 25
in cent fares, that he took n fare and
punched his slip every one and one-fifth
minutes, IL taking an hour to make the
round trip on the line In question; that he
carried sixty passengers each trip, num-
Der much above the average. The
number OF times the conductor rang
the bell TO stop the car or TO signal the
driver cannot be definitely told, it must
have been somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of fifteen hundred times. The con-
ductor must have made change a great
many times. Wonder how many pennies
loaded down his pocket
But the car ran only through the buster
part of the day, and there Is not another
car on the route which would pick up as
many passeHaers.-AaaiH- these large
figures are accounted for because during
the hot spell many persons took advan-
tage to ride out TO the Park or elsewhere
during the cool OF the evening.

A Bridgeport Girl in Berlin.

Berlin, March 27.
 This will undoubtedly be my last week in Berlin and my time will be taken up with preparations for my trip. Last week Wednesday, we visited Potsdam. We took car and rode to near the en- trance of Sans Souci, through lane with large trees edging the drive way. The walls of the gardens along which the path runs were covered with ivy. After entering Sans Souci park, I saw in front of me small hill topped with the pal ace. A little farther along, miniature lake, surrounded by marble seats, with background of green shrubbery and, still farther beyond, the forest. Here stand fine pieces of sculpture. In Summer, it must be charming place. Here the main paths leading to Sans Souci and Schloss Friedrichskron come together.
 A number of steps led, terrace after terrace, up to the castle itself, "a long low building with dome over it's center DOT tion. I climbed the terraces, six in all, and each wall was covered with vines. The sentinel pacing to and fro was the only sign of life. I wandered about long time, saw the wind mill famous in history, visited the orangery at the east end of the terrace, where lie buried the grayhounds of Frederick the Great and where he hoped to be buried. Then. af- ter short time, I succeeded in entering San Souei palace. The guard was ex- ceedingly gracious and gave deal of in- formation. Of course, the first things to Great, just as he left them. or, rather, the same things he had used were still there. The marble hall is beautiful, in- deed; the rotunda is finished in gold and white. Here stand the marble statues of Apollo and Venus and the bust of Charles 12 of Sweden. Each room is full of things to interest and that show the char acter of the man who occupied them. Voltaire's room, furnished especially for him, was curious place. The west wing of the building was used by Frederick I Wilhelm 4. His sleeping room is just as when he occupied it. A painted bed- stead, with the commonest bedding, is enclosed by screen .of very handsome : material. The rooms in this part were : small and plainly furnished, yet they contained some very fine china, vases and such things, which the guide allowed me to handle and told me to strike the keys to the piano. returned to the city with 3 out visiting the other buildings. as my

Young men, turn back before it is too late and protect yourselves, those who have not begun. There are hundreds of young men who, when drink sends fire through their veins, stoop to sins of which they would otherwise never have been guilty; who would die for very shame if those sins should become known to the world. But they will come out sooner or later, if you do not stop right where you are. Men who desecrate the Sabbath by selling intoxicating drink should pause before the wrath of God de- scends upon them. There is no place in Heaven for man who has spent his life in feeding alcohol to drunken lips, to make them curse the God who created them. AS the deluge was sent to punish sinners, so will the Lord surely punish those who thus destroy their own souls or those of their fellow man. Father T. P. Doyle.
