certain ballroom belle tells how she re-

My last proposal (she says was from man

My sister saw me, and, knowing things were in
that interesting condition when a word would

saying:
"Who is IL that says il a woman will take the
trouble to pick thread from mans coat that
man may have her for asking?" She laughed
gleefuly at our discontinue and fi0ated away.

AMERICAN LIBERTIES.
The First of Rev. DR.. Browns
Patriotic Lecture Series.

Patriotic Lecture Series.
Last night marked the beginning of a
new series of Sunday evening lectures at
the First Congregational Church.
The general theme of the series is
Goods Hand in American History, or
The Source and Substance of Our LiDer-
ties"
The subject of last evenings discussion
was "Our American Liberties; Whence
Come They?"
DR.. Brown bad an extraordinarily large
and enthusiastic congregation, and his
talk was filled with fir of patriotism
that spread itself into the heart of every
one present.
In opening his discourse the speaker
said: american history is TO me most
sacred thing, and love it's every leaf and
epoch. l see Gods hand ever guiding the
events. It's liberty is deeper rooted IN the
world than its own history traces it.
"At the very time when Christopher
Columbus was crossing the ocean that
torch of liberty, that reformer before the
reformation. SayonarOla. with his eloquent
voice was calling the people to penitence.
Luther had succeeded in bringing about
that condition of affairs in which every
man was equal before God. There was
religious liberty.
"WIth civil liberty in England and re-
ligious liberty on the Continent all was
ripe for transplanting to America. God
then permitted Columbus to discover the
new land.
when George Washington stood under
the old elm and, drawing his sword from
its scabbard, took command of the Ameri-
can army, the descendants of the Hugue-

LOVE THE THEATER.
The Spaniards Are Passionately Fond
of the Stage and Acting.

OF the Sta&e ana Acting.
In no other county is the theater as popular
as in Spain. After a bul6ght Spaniard loves
the theater best. A true Spanish home Is so
dull that men and women alike scarcely ever
spend quiet evening in their inner circles. 1t
is not TO be wondered al, therefore, that they
should prefer TO leave their uncomfortable
rooms to get warmed and daZZled for a few
hours In the glare OF the teatro 1t is there,
also that they see their friends and continue
their habitual tertuIia OF gossip. Even the
children love the drama, play or sainete. and
on Sunday afternoons and feast days their
mammaS deck them up In 6nery and take them
TO see the latest sensational play. Ii is curious,
indeed, to watch box full OF baby faces
keenly interested and devouring d terrible
drama full of narrowing scenes, or laughing at
a short play full OF wit and piquant jokes. 1t
does not seem at all natural TO see childIen
taken TO these spectaces, but Spanish children
are little old men and women, and a fairy
pantOmime would be too dull for them. In
Madrid there are almost as many theaters as
churches. They are very commodious, spl-n-
didly decorated and all built alter the same
model.
A large stage. pit full of cozy red velvet
butacas, or stalls, where ladies and gentlemen
sit together. and around tile house the palcos
chairs and carpets. Above thu tiers OF boxes
is the paralso-paradise, or cheap gallery
which derives its name from its vicinity TO the
sky. The Madrid Opera-house is perhaps
smaller than the Grand Opera or Covent Gar
den, DUt II is by far more convenient. 1t
reminds one of the dainty ladies' bou-
doir-it is so fresh ana bright, with its
red and gold decorations, It's soft electric
lights, its velvet carpets and pretty frescoes.
The royal box itself is a gem. with pink cape
t0nnee walls ana the arms OF Spain above the
red and gold curtain. This is only the small
royal box, as the Queen never uses the I'm.
mense ons that occupies the center OF the
house except on very grand occasions. Behind
the Queens box Is pretty saloon. where she
can retire 10 take refreshments between tie
acts. There is telephone there, ana IL was

TRUE LIBERALISM.
Analysed and Defined by Rev. C..
w. Wendte.

At the Second Unitarian Church vester-
day morning Rev. n. a. Haskell, for some
time pastor of San lose and now of Den
YER, Colo, delivered thoughtful discourse
on THE Ultimate Purpose of the Individ-
ual and National Life" III the evening
Rev. c. w. Wendte of Oakland took for his
topic "What Is 1t to Be Liberal in Re-
ligiOn." Basing his remarks on the words
found in Isaiah xxxii:S. But the liberal
devseth liberal things. and by liberal
things shall he stand." the speaker made
a strong plea for pure and true liberal
ism in religion. In order to more fully
define liberal he first and at some length
showed what it is not. A man is not nee
essarily liberal because he holds radical
views, but rather because of the spirit in
which he holds them. If intoIerant he is
simply a bigOt, but if he Is ready to be-
lieve in the sincerity OF others. TO be ''rev-
erent toward others, reverence" then he is
liberal. 1t matters not how orthodox he

followed her to their room, and shortly
afterwards shots were heard. The door
was broken in by tho hotel people,
when both were found lying on
the floor covered with blood. The
woman was conscious and said
McNabb had shot her. but gave no rea-
son for the decd. The murderer had
shot his victim twice in the neck, one
bullet merely making flesh wound.
while the second entered her neck, and
is now imbedded 10 the spinal column,
completely paralyzing her lower ex-

mouth, and was dead when entrance to
the room was forced. His body was
taken to the morgue, and Mrs. Rock

Tho princess, according 10 tho Itory,
Ia said to have replied vaguely to the
suggestion OF Captain DoNuchnmp, who
subsequently handed four written Qucs-
tons TO tho iavOrltO Of tho car, asking
tho princess to try and obtain answers
for thcm.
