finite spiritual needs and desires and with
infinite powers of creation. We have
concen trated too much attention upon
man as physical being and upon the
supplying of his physical necessities which
are in reality limited, while his spiritual
needs are unlimited, and their gratifica-
ton is only limited by the power of sup
plying them. Mr.. Clark claimed that
the residual outcome of all human activi-
ties finally crystaliZed into the arts-into
spritiual life as their embodiment; SO
that all we have left of mans life in the
past is the arts of the past; and all that
we shall hand down from our civilization
to those who are to follow us, will be
our arts, which will be the embodiment
of our spiritual life. In short, social i'm
movement can only come as we wake up
to the spiritual life in man.
C. Howard Walker gave practical lee
ture on Architecture as the Outcome
of conditions. He spoke of architecture,
as the constant companion of man, and
as affecting his taste more than painting
or sculpture. Referring to the ugliness
which is inflicted in cities by laying out
streets with long, narrow building lots
he added 1--WE no longer build better than
we know, we know better than we build.
Yesterday William Ordway Partridge,
sculptor gave Yery fdr fhs Psone
He said that art for the people had been
regarded as impossible, but he felt that
there was but one art and that was Tor
every man, woman and child in the
world. He placed it's value entirely on
moral and spiritual plane Have you
ever lived with great picture he asked.
1t is a blessed companionship never to
be forgotten. If we wish our children to
have beautiful faces and beautiful lives
we must place before them only that
which is noble, beautiful and inspiring:
AS a means Of widening the culturl
through art, Mr.. Partridge pleaded for the,
more generous teaching of drawing in our
schools and that the walls of the school
rooms should be hung with copies of
choice pictures such as would be an in
spiration to the soul of child as he
glanced up from his book; and if win

the fashion to put memorial windows in
schoolhouses instead of churches where
they are seen but once week. Monu
ments and memorials in public buildings
and parks, mural paintings and the. like
are grand means of bringing art to tho
people. All public buildings too should
be conscientiously erected with an eye to
architectural beauty as we'll as for
utility. Newspapers and magazines of
the higher class are doing much for the
cultivation of artistic taste.

1t has been an open secret for some
weeks past that the county commissioners
would allow the Cape Elizabeth Electric
Road to lay it's rails on Portland bridge
without widening it, The formal de.
cision is now given out The company
assumes all the expenses ofsstrengthening
the bridge and will also be responsible for
all damage that may accrue from acct
dents happening on the bridge, and it
agrees that if within two years court
of competent jurisdiction, upon hearing,
determines that the bridge should be wild
ened, to widen it at its own expense and
move its tracks off the present struc-
ture While Portland and Cape Eliza
beth people have been generally DESTROYS
that the road should be built and that it's
construction should not be hampered by
unnecessary obstacles, great many of
them have believed that it would be per-
ilous to allow cars to run over the
bridge in its present state. Others were
of the opinion that no great danger
would result from it. Which is right
the experiment now about to be tried
will determine. 1t is to be hoped that
it will not be a costly one.

Will Secretary Carlisle go TO Kentucky
and speak for the Democratic ticket is
a question that is exciting considerable
interest lin Washington. Carlisle's last
appearance in the Blue Grass region was
in the role of a sound money advocate,
butTif he goes there and speaks for Hardin
he will virtually be promoting the tri-
umph of free silver coinage, for Hardin
has made that a prominent feature in his
canvas. Carlisle has turned about SO
many times upon the silver question,
that another right about face could hardly
injure his reputation. 1t might, however
very seriously injure his chances of re-
manning in M. Cleveland's Cabinet, for
Mr.. Cleveland is not in the habit of al
lowing any member of his official family
to entertain opinions different from his
own. 1t would doubtless be great relief
to the Secretary if he could be called to
urope on important business just now
oweyer the condition of the treasury is
enough to give him a good excuse for
going away from it, any further even

The Pennsylvania Republican conven-
ton declared against the free coinage of
silver at the arbitrary ratio off 16 to l. A
minority of the committee on resolutions
favored resolution against free coinage
at all except by international agreement,
but the majority preferred the resolution
as it was presented and adopted by the
convention. Practically opposition to the
coinage of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio is
opposition to its coinage at all by our
government, for no other ratio is talked
OF and it is doubtful If the silver men
would cons emit to any other. Yet never
theless the resolution OF the minority
would have been preferable as being more
explicit and as representing, probably,
more accurately the sentiments of the
great majority of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania. But Senator Cameron
has toyed somewhat with silver, and per-
haps it was desired to let him down easy.

Bishop Tugwell of Western Africa has
sounded cry of alarm concerning the

western equatorial Africa. He says gin

places where there is rich trade in ma

out by traffic in strong drink. Its effects

VALLEJO. June 2S.-It is not likely,
according to the understanding of Com
mandant Howison, that the Philadelphia
will come up to Mare Island till after the
Fourth. The department has not signi-
fed any intentions regarding the future
movements of this ship. However, it is
not thought here that there is any urgent
need for her services Just now. She may
be docked and have her bottom scraped
and painted at San Francisco, as the
Hartford will occupy the stone dock
until the 10th proXimo at least.
The Commandant says that to take the
latter vessel out of the dock to make
room for the Philadelphia at this time
would be simply throwing $1,000 away.
While the cost of docking the Phlade ell
phia and painting her at San Francisco
would be double what the same work
would cost at the yard. still the advantage
is on the side OF having the city do the
work II it be urgent, as the expense and
loss would foot up three times as much
If the Hartford should be unlocked now.
The department has been asked 10 post

July 22d. when the yard will be in read

Will De the actlOn OF the w aShlngton DILL
ciais. There are two places the Phila-
delpnia may go when overhauled, either
to Port Townsend or Callao to relieve
the Monterey, which is still there. The
latter is thought here to be the most prob
able destination.
The Baltimore is still in Chinese waters,
and most likely will remain there until
the latter part of August. Owing to the
fact that most of her officers and crew are
Eastern men, the department is con-
templating sending her to that seaboard,
rather than to Mare Island. The cost
would be about the same, and it would
not take much longer, thus a saving
would be made, in the fact that the crew
would not have to be transported East for
discharge. The seamen, when discharged
on one seaboard, are sent at the Govern
menrs expense to the other side, if
shipped there. Another motive which
will prompt the department TO have the
Baltimore go out of commission at the
East is the fact that Admiral Carpenter
retires in February next. Leaving China
in August, he will reach New York about
Christmas. By the time his ship was
paid off it would about bring him to re-
firing time, and he would be near Wash
lngtOn.
