THE LIVING PICTURES A SHAME TO THE
CITY

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: 1t is time that decent people should protest
against the most indecent exhibition ever put be-
fore the New-York public. namely. the Giving
pictures" When they were first produced. almost
a year ago. we expected to see scathng denounce-
ments OF them In all the leading newspapers, but
to our amazement there nothing Of the kind
but on the contrary they noticed only by
favorable criticisms. Last week. for the first
time. saw In The Tribune. In notice of Little
Christopher Columbus" few remarks in con-
demnation Of them. which. to say the least were
very feebly expressed.
1t Is certainly the business OF the police to stop
such outrages against purity and morality as
these pictures certainly are but is It not equally
the duty OF the press to condemn these exhibitions
and in such unmeasured terms to force the
very sluggish Police Department to take the
sary steps toward their removal? II our news
not forced to believe that they are being
paid for their silence?
AS sister wife and mother. protest against
such display. which must Of necessity be de-
grading. and appeal to The Tribune public

toward the suppression Of the Living pictures"

PROSPECT OF UNION
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In the editorial Rome and the Eastern
Churches" in this mornings paper, / was horri-
fled to statement made which Is so abso-
lutey false that 1t ought not to be allowed to go
uncorrected. The Tribune is usually much
correct in its religious and ecclesiastical
than most papers that was particularly SUR
prised to read that since 1869 no effort has been
made by the Anglican Church toward union with
the Eastern churches.
This, as I said above. Is not true. Constant
efforts being made to bring two Of the great
branches Of the Catholic Church together and
with and more those two branches
Of the Church learn more about each other. 1t is
true that the Greek Church does not officially
knowledge the validity of Anglican orders. but her
most learned preates individually, believe In their
validity. and the highest officials of both churches
most friendly terms with each other. The
following facts should be a good proof OF this

sstent with the due safety and preservation OF the
