Catherine Tut. Wife OF the Archbishop of

In 1852 DR.. TAFT was appointed Arch
bishop OF Canterbury. II was trial to
leave Fulham, with all the dear, familiar
interests, but Mrs. TAFT accepted the
change. as she had all others, calmly.
She was the first archbisop's wife who
had inhabited the palace for twenty
years. Lambeth Palace stands in the
midst Of a poor and densely-populated
district, in whose welfare she soon be-
came keenly interested. Social and other
duties pressed necessarily upon her at
tention. How we'll she bore herself in
this new sphere all testified who were
brought within her influence. Few could
have succeeded in sanctifyins this busy
and exciting life, but evenness and
thorough Christian simplicity were the
characteristics OF Mrs Tait's nature. She
had simple, straightforward, self-re-

In the midst of this blessed life OF self
conservation and domestic contentment
descended another terrible blow. Crau-
ford TAFT, the archbishop's only son, was
youth OF the highest promise. As hs
grew to boyhood his attachment to his
mother seemed almost romantic; as he
approached manhood he became the

possessed a personal existence Of deep

THE AGNOSTIC'S. QUESTION: ais
LIFE WORTH LIVING?"

Life Is a thing worth living 10 the brave
Who fear not Fortunes spite; In Truth who
trust:
Whose spirit. not enthralled by pride or
earthward lust,
Stands up while mortal tumults round them
rave,
Like Teneriffe above the ocean wave;
Whs. mailed in Duty. with divine disgust
Recoil from frivolous joys and aims unjust,
Nor miss rewards which reason scorns to
crave.
Life Is worth living TO those souls of light
Who live for others, and by gift bestow
On them the jubilant beams their own by
right;
Who, knowing LIES defects, more inly
know
This Life is not the Temple but the Gate
Where men secure OF entrance watch and

VIII Not Tolerate Interference With

Public Schools.

Special to The Chronicle,l
WASHINGTON, Dec. .18.-The strong
pressure that is being exerted by the
territories makes it now probable that
joint conference of democratic senators
and representatives will be held within
a few days to determine the steps to be
taken by the party win the two houses in
relation to the admission of the terrific
ries into the union. New Mexico,
Arizona and Utah have been clamoring
for enabling acts or. bills tending ulti-
nlately to statehood, and considerable
element in Oklahoma thinks that terri
tory has alec arrived at state of ma
turity. Some of these bills have already
passed the house and are pending iil@the
senate, but it is possible the party may
now consider the policy of favoring an
ries to statehood at one time.
Members of congress of both political
parties are being flooded with letters
andypetitions for the admission of the
territories, and delegations are begin
ming to arrive in the city to press the
matter. New Mexico presents the
somew hat anomalous situation of being
urged for admission by both 20 litica
parties. The Hon. L. Bradford Prince,
the republican governor OF the territory,
and the Hon. G. H. Gildersleeve, ex
chairman of the democratic territorial
committee, are both in the city urging
upon each of the parties to which they
respectively belong the political benefits
to be derived by the admission of New
Mexico as state. Nearly all the prom
nent members OF both houses have been
seen by these gentlemen.
Gov. Prince has insisted to the repub-
licans that the admission of New Mexico
would result in gain of two more re-
publican United States senators, MIR.
Gildersleeve has with equal pertinacity
pointed out to the democrats the un-
broken successes OF that party in return
ing Delegate Joseph to congress for
eight years, and assured the leaders that
the democratic supremacy in the terri
tory would only be accentuated by the
admission of New Mexico. as state.
Both gentlemen are, however, aware
that any. enabling act submitted to- the
voters OF New Mexico would fail of ap-
prevail which contained any provision
the effect of which would be to prohibit
the teaching uf Spanish in the public.
schools. The bill now pending in the
senate has this obieetional provision,
but in the event of its passing that body
Delegate Joseph will make a strong ef-
fort to have it stricken out in the house
conference.
