Bishop COxe's Letter.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
have nothing to do with the contents of
the letter of the bishop of western New
York, purporting to be an open letter to
Satolli but to the language used in the
comments thereon by some of our Roman
Catholic citizens l wish to take respectful
exception. When they characterize Bishop
Coke as an ecclesiastical crank they use
an epithet that will only bring down on
them severe criticism. The American people
know too much about this eminent church
man. who is one of the most distinguished,
scholarly and pious of Americans, to rest
silent under such language. l am not an
Episcapalian, hence II is very proper for
me to express myself as the spokesman of
sentiment which know to be held by all
classes of intelligent people. He is deeply
cherished for his personal worth. his broad
and generous catholicity and his scholarly
ability. No American is his superior Roman
Catholics would have higher respect paid
them II they would not fly to such bitter
personal assaults upon those who differ
with them on questions pertaining to Amer
lean interests. The opinions Of Bishop Keane
will not be accepted by our informed and
just classes Of all creeds

Ludgate Hill.
Twenty fire engines were kept at work
throwing water on the building near the

house and Newgate prison were drenched
with innumerable streams of water to keep
them from taking fire. Several times the
report that the prison had caught was

an hour with his recollections of the wise
and witty things that have been said on
post prandial occasions He SKINNED the
milk of his memory and produced the rich
est of cream that tickled the palates of one
OF the most cultured audiences that Wash
ington can produce. Anecdotes were cou-
pied with philosophical reflections upon the
value of the ''after-dinner'' as one of the
important elements in modern civilization.
From Edwin Forrest down to Mark Twain,
with several way stations among the New
England poets and metropolitan wits, Mr.

ton of the author of ''Innocents Abroad"
was very funny, and his examples of bright

Mabie was in a more serious vein, but
charmed his auditors for an hour with
discourse on Literature" He spoke with

| splendid voice, and though he told no
funny stories and did not aim to make his
hearers laugh he made a very deep i'm
preston. He spoke of the eternal fresh
ness of life that there Is to be found in the
great books and of the wonderful arts and
| thoughts that have gone to make up those
works He led his audience here and there
in the fowery fields Of literature and gave
them some excellent advice in a kindly
way for their guidance in the choosing of
their mental pabulum.
These talks were the first installment
