the Gotham prelates were particularly
chummy. But It appears that Corrlgan
accused his reverend brother OF "de-
sorting" him, q charge which evidently
filed the cardinal haired one with
amazement. To bring matters 70 a cri-
sis, the two were found TO differ radi-
cally on the question Of public schools,
and when the hierarchy came together
recently In Chicago Il was plainly evil
dent that the pair had agreed TO dlsa-
gree.
The matter would be less important
were It not that cardinalate for an
American is trembling In the balance.
IL has not yet leaked out that Satoli

bearing upon this question; it is even
said the delegate knows whom Leo has

great misfortune Of the human race has
been that never has IL seemed able to
tell when the time for SHINING has ar
rived. The sins of the world have
usually been so inopportunely commit
ted as to afford no material for the
scientific study of wickedness, a region
in which Mr.. Wilde would become the
pioneer.
This explains, in Mr.. Wilde's opinion,
the strange attraction eXerted by sin
and sinners upon even the virtuous In
all ages. How interesting is the hand
some rascal who has broken scores OF
hearts and wrecked the happiness OF
those who mechanically stopped to
folly! What a wealth Of material for
investigation has thus run to waste! So
ciety has long revolted against this
conventional injustice to sin, but no
one has yet had the courage to cham
pion the cause. Upon Mr.. Wilde has
| it devolved to become the parent OF
the science Of sin in much the fashion
that Adam Smith is now the father OF
the science Of political economy.
Whether the sGnhower is to be re-
| talped as the cross OF the new crusade
seems yet unknown. Emile Zola's sug-
gestion Of pair of horns has not been
noticed.
Mr.. Wilde, however, is not the only
| theorist who will shortly land upon
our coast. The arrival of Joseph Cham
/ borIain with his American wife is de-
signed to have a Quickening effect
upon all movements looking to the
unificatiou Of the Anglo-Saxon race.
Mr.. Chamberlain is contemplating
public utterance that will place his OPP
position to home rule for Ireland In an
entirely new light. He means to come
out In favor Of parliamentary union
OF all English speaking peoples. Ac-
| cording to his theory the home rule
bill is q direct blow at this scheme,
apart from any consideration OF its pc
J litical inexpediency. Mr.. Chamberlain
will point TO the Bahring sea arbitra-
ton as one indication Of the Anglo
Saxon unifcation to come. He believes
that no written constitution will be ne
cessary to bring all this TO pass and
that in much less time than most men
now anticipate. England, the United
States, Australia and the colonies will
be a great federate republic. Mr.. Cham
berlain proposes to remain six weeks in
the United States,
Goodwin Smith comes to Us from
across the Canadian border on an er-
rand Of much the same nature as does
Joseph Chamberlain. BE will work
actively for the annexation Of the

Goodwin Smith means to make this
nropaganda his life work and believes
that be will live to see Canada State
of the American Union. The theorist
has wealthy wife and no end Of brains
and is eager to make his name even
more eminent than IL now is.

that in this country we have such a

often do not receive all the commenda-

The announcement that Senator Platt
means to write life of Roscoe Conk-
ling comes to no one as greater sur
prise than to Mr.. Plat himself. The
Republican leader has often been urged
to prepare such volume, but he is not
. man of leisure by any means, and de-
clares, moreover, that the subject is
too momentous for his pen. Mr.. PIatt,
however, possesses an immense fund Of
material for such work should he
ever find time to set about 1t.

that is very striking. When a man
achieves eminence as political leader
his work in other lines Of human en-

man is sent to Congress. No matter
how distinguished he may be in his par
ticular calling, he is known thence
forth simply as politician: Should he
weary Of public life and go back to his
profession he is still heralded as a poll
ticlan. This very often proves embar-

q Wow to its utility as servant Instead
OF as master. Has anyone ever made
study Of the possibilities Of sin? Has
sin ever been dissected and experiment
ed with from worthy motives? No. The
physician who exposes himself to the
contagion of smallpox and consumption
that he may better know and battle
with those diseases is hero in the
cause Of science. Similarly, the being
who exposes himself to every tempta-
ton and yields his spotless soul to the
debaucherles Of Tlberius at Capra or
practices the exquisite weaknesses
that have rendered the name of Hello

tives, retain every vestige OF his limo

Oscar Wilde theory: One may sin-sin

between sin for the sake OF SHINING and
sin committed in the line of scientific

ealing to live is the ethical antithesis

Mrs. Josephine Diebisch Peary, wife
of Lieut.. Peary, the arctic explorer, has
a warm friend in New York who will
shortly be married to a well-known law

ing with this friend of hers regularly,

the little stranger, whose birth is eX-
pected TO give to the United States its
first citizen hailing from the frigid zone,
shall receive the name Of Robert, II OF
the voting sex, and that of Josephine II
not. Mrs, Peary gives some personal
views relative TO her husbands explor-

ly from the charge Of having reduced
her husband to a henpecked condition,
and AYERS that he is her lord and mas
ter in every sense Of the words.

The Roof Garden Craze.

This seems an unreasonable time Of
year to set about the cultivation OF
roof gardens, but no less than six such
parterres are now blooming in New
York. The idea is borrowed from the
aerial hothouso plan Of Marquis d.
Jacksonville. That literary Partisan
is passionatsly fond of flowers, and
spends much time, even in the winter,
In their cultivation. Land being as
expensive in the French capital as
It is in other centers OF popula-
