Considerable comment has been passed
upon the fact that the full service of the
Catholic Church was rendered In Long
Island City last Sunday morning in Bap-
tist house Of worship. which had been
kindly rendered by its congregation for
that purpose. 1t Is said furthermore that
~ the Catholics were passing out of one
door Of the building at the close of their
service. the Baptists were entering at the
othesS to begin theirs. and that good feel
ing prevailed on both sides.
The circumstance is a somewhat notable
one. a. sectarian prejudices 60. and 1t Is
greatly to be regretted that such instances
oftener. Happily. however. the aspects of
this case are not wholly unparalleled The
writer Of this paragraph once attended
divine service In the city of Jerusalem,
where the service of the Church Of Eng
land was read by Swiss clergyman.
and in the course Of which prayers were
offered for the Emperor and Crown Prince
Of Germany. for the Queen of England
and the Prince Of Wales. for the President
and Congress Of the United States. and for
the Sultan of Turkey! The first two man,
ed. II may be explained, were Lutherans.
the third and fourth are members Of the
Church Of England, the fifth was a Metho-
dist. and the sixth a Mahomedan.
Such things do not happen very often,
but when they do occur they furnish a
pleasing Indication that something of the
spirit Of charity and federation which ex-
lists outside Of UNCONVENTIONAL lines Is also
to be found among those within who are
widely separated by dogmas and creeds.

worst elements Of society. they had the
sympathy OF q very large proportion of
Americans. For many years the islands
had been looked upon as almost American.
Tha country had been civilized and Chris

session was warmly welcomed That idea
was strengthened when, to prevent useless
slaughter and great business disturbances.
United States Minister Stevens hoisted the
stars and stripes over the government
building and announced the establishment
Of q protsctorate. but vanished almost as
soon as Minister Paramount Blount ar
rived at Honolulu His first official act
was the hauling down Of the American
Gag. accompanied by a disavowal of Amer
lean interest. which was practically an in
vitation to the factions to fight the trou-
BILE out among themselves. Then Minister
Bloont proceeded to cultivate the acquaint-
ance Of the so-called royal family and to do
many things which unwarrantably inter.

On the eastern side of this city are many
acres of marshland. over which the tides
move sluggishly. From this extent of fetid
mud and rank grass emanate doors that are
undoubtedly noxious. There Is no reason
why such conditions should be permitted
to continue. and 1t win be surprising indeed
II the first session of the Fffry-third Con-
grsss should reach adjournment without
having Iesislated the Eastern Branch fats
out Of existence. The work Is not one that
presents any engineering difficulties. nor Is
there In the proposition any necessity for
q vast expenditure Of public funds. The de-

ment. but satisfaction and improved hy-

ton Of the old Dutch plans The malaria
breeding shoals on the western edge of the
city have been improved out Of existence
and the results more than compensate for
the outlay. Why should not attention be
given the equally unhealthy and otherwise
Improbable marshland along the Eastern

As the inventor and builder Of the first
street car. John Stephenson. who died at
his New York home yesterday, is entitled to
some degree of public recognition. He was
not a great man. but he was q much more
desirable citizen than many who have been
called great. The story of his life reveals
a patient industry and courage against
which misfortune could not prevail. From
an humble beginning he built up a business
which was in every respect successful; an
