THE AGE OF Reason.

Rev. DR.. Shppen's remarks at the closing
session of the Unitarian conference last
night betoken q liberality of thought that
is in harmony with the spirit of the age.
1t is quite evident that his views are not
bounded by the horizon of sect or creed,
and that he can recognize even in those
whose tenets and doctrines differ most
widely from his own all that is good and
progressive.
DR.. Shipper thus happily emphasized one
of the most cheering evidences of advancing
thought in the field of theology. 1t tends
more and more to the recognition of the
essence of the good In all forms Of religion.
1t is this recognition that made possible
the memorable congress of religions in
Chicago, and the harmonious exchange of
opinions between men from all parts of
the world, who, though as far asunder
as the poles in matters of tradition and
tenet, paid a grand tribute to the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
After all, it is the golden rule OF doing
unto others as we would have others do
unto US that is alpha and omega of all
true religion, and if it were carried into
everyday practice the millennium would
not be far off.

MONEY FOR THE DIsTR1cT

Just aspredicted in The Times, the amount
the Commissioners will ask Congress to
appropriate is nearly seven and a half
million dollars, exclusiveeof the water
department, which is nearly a quarter of
million more.
Among the estimates the requisitiun of
S4,100, 600 for sewer extension in and
outside of the city is conspicuous. There
is little doubt but all of this sum, large as
1T may seem, can be profitably expended
for the purpose for which IT is asked, md it
is, moreover, proof positive that all this
class of work can be paid for out of the
current revenues of the District without
burdening the taxpa yers with the principal
and interest of large issue of bonds.
Increased appropriations are asked by the
Commissioners for the public schools. II is
to be hoped that the estimates are large
enough to give all the children of school
age in the District a full days tuition,
which means, of course, that sufficient
additional accommodations will be provided
to make room for all who apply. The
complaint that there is not room for all
should never again be heard at the capital
of the United States. The estimate OF
100000 for building for the Business
High School is repeated and, it may be
hoped, will not be thrown out this time as
it was at the last session. OF course, there
will be some statesmen who Will come
ambling along with the same old rigmaruIe
about the>peuple OF the country paying for
the education of the children of the people
of the District, but il isn't worth while to
give any serious heed to that sort of
twaddle.
There is one item which ought to be
granted without any haggling or contention
of any kind, aud that is the SIG $50 for
deficiency in the police relief fund 10 be
taken from the police court fines. So much
has been said upon other occasions about
the equity of this demand that it is hardly
necessary to go over the same ground
again.
Altogether, the estimates are full of in
terest to the people of the District and
will well repay careful perusal.

SPECIMENS FROM GEORGIA.
Temp Dice and His Wife Paid a Cal
On Mr.. Frank

A drunken woman and genuine Georgia
| Cracker with his wife were among
Sanitary Officer Franks visitors yesterday
afternoon. The "cracker" came first and
was as ''uninteiiigent as clam,' to use
police officials expression Nr.
Frank asked in his blandest tones:
What can do for you. SIR"
"Wal, stranger" replied the Georgian.
'.me an Lny wants ter git as fer as
Baltymo', an we hears you uns heyar gives
out free steam car tickets We uns
is po' as Jobs turkey hen an amt had
emmy victuals since yesterday"
Mr.. Frank asked the g eorgia back
woodsman his name, and after stamuering
and suffering for several minutes he
draw awled out:
Now, don't We know. Mister Ticket
Man, l cyart jes' think er my tother
name, but down home they calls me
Temp
Temple or Templeton?'' querled the san
itary officer.
Can't ies say, but it mought be either"
Just then his wife, weakened little
woman spoke up:
why, you squashed huckleberry. yer
last name is Dice-Temp Dice; that's it,
mister. My man Amt got emmy great eddi-
cation. but he can split mo- cord wood than
emmy man in the county"
The couple We're placed In charge of
Sanitary Clerk VIII Amiss, who procured
railroad tickets and saw them off to
s'Baltymo'."
About O'Clock last evening little
woman, clad in the deepest black. stag
gered into Mr.. Franks office. Her breath
was redoent OF hummer whisky and
her movements We're decidedly unsteady
and shaky.
MY name is Mrs. Bette Powell, nee
Miss Bette King" she said, striking
dramatic attitude. II am a sick woman
and want you to send me to some hos
pital."
The sanitary officer recognized Bette
as a woman who had served many moons
in the female workhouse, and replied:
Drunk again, Better
''Wen, since you have discovered that
I am slightly inebriated. ] will acknowl-
edge that 1 have indulged in several
potations."
The sanitary officer told Bette that
the only thing necessary in her case was
to go home and sober up, as he would not
send intoxicated persons to the hospital.
I'm obey your diplomatic Injunction"
concluded the woman, and, wheeling TO-
ward the door, she nearly fell on her
head. Then she waved her hand and
rounced out of the office.

DANGER OF BoNFIREs.

This is the season of the year when
youngsters of both sexes find amusement
in gathering dry leaves and other inflarn-
mabie material in the streets aud back
yards and make as big boafircs as the ac-
cumulated material will permit. Natu-
rally the roar ring flames cause the little
ones to indulge in all sorts of gleeful
pranks, one of the most risky being to run
OF jump through or over the fire. and it
was this pastime that may cause the
death of little Mary.
There is constant danger in these sort
of ventures. and no admonitions ON the
part OF parents Will give assurance that
they will not be attempted. Children will
be children, and the example of one auda-
cious boy or girl is sufficient io iDcite
all the rest OF the little company to at
tempt equally hazardous feats. If parents
will not or cannot prevent these perihus
forms OF play, the police ought to do so,
and this not only because some child may
be injured, but because such bonfires put
property in jeopardy. There have been
ing caused by bonfires, and here In Wash
ingtoa several cases of that sort are on
record.
No Injustice will be done the children il
Major Moore will instruct his policemen
to suppress all bonrlres or any attempt to
make them, and .'better be sure than be
sorry"

construction has not been a one-sided af-
fair. Her Majesty's government has had
practically free access TO the designs for
the finest ships in our navy. The product
of the best brains In America and the
fruits OF our naval invention have been
freely extended, and, IL is safe to say,
profited by. On the other hand, England.
as well as other European powers, guards
jealously the designs of their fighting yes
sells. With the recent action of the ad-
miralty as a precedent, would it not be
well for the Navy Department TO be
bit more secretive in this respect? While
the chances of war are remote, it is not
impossible, and the best naval evidence
is to the effect that a knowledge of ones
adversary is more than equal 10 skillful
seamanship in fights at sea.

WHY NOT DO IIEEVISy.P

The edict of the British admiralty abro-
eating the courtesy heretofore extended
this government in the admission of it's
naval constructors to the Royal School of
Naval Architecture, is indirectly a conIpIi-
ment to that branch of the service and the
ships of our new navy.
We are grateful to Her Majesty for what
our officers have learned, but feel that the
future ships which viii fly Old Glory will
not suffer from the revocation of this
privilege.
That England should feel nettled at the
remarkable success of American built war
ships is but natural. 1t is rot pleasant
for a nation with centuries of experience
TO be eciipsed in lis chiefest glory By an
infant country. That she should show her
spleen in this manner need not be mar
veled at in the light OF past events.
At the same time this matter of naval

vowING GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

NOWING GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
The Christian Endeavor Society of
Mahoning county, Ohio, has recently taken
a vow indicative of the high estimation its
members entertain OF the functions OF
citizenship, and their action in this re-
spect might wen serve as an example TO
all associations of citizens, no matter what
their character may be. The vow is as
follows:
Believing that my ballot is my testi-
mony and as a Christian citizen l should
make it witness for political righteous
ness, i record my vow that l will, when
ever possible, attend the caucus and pri-
mary and demand the nomination OF honest
and capable men; that / viii seek the
enforcement of national issues from mu-
nicipal and State elections and Will sup
port for office such men only as are in
favor of righteous legislation and the i'm
partial enforcement of the law"
In the scheme here laid down lies the
sum and substance of good government
It's aims may be difficult OF complete at
tainment, and some of its details sur
rounded with obstacles of no inconsider-
able magnitude, but yet it makes for the
publication of politics, seeks the climina-
ton of dishonest and incompetent men
from municipal, State, and national offices,
and aims at the best results in the admins
tration OF the affairs OF the people.
One of the main reasons why dishonest
and incapable men are so often elected to
office is found in the disinclination of the
better class of citizens to attend the party
caucus and primary. As matter of
course the less scrupulous clements take
control, and the result is the nomination of
men who make promises which they never
intend TO keep, whose action is determined
by selfish consideration ard TO W hom pub
lie office is simply private snap. This
class, whose representatives are too fire.
quently found in legislative councils and
in other places of public trust and honor,
would be altogether relegatcd to private
life if all suffragans " ere to demand the
nomination of honest and capable men" and
then support for office such men only as
are in favor of righteous legislation and
the impartial enforcement of the law"
In the brief vow recorded by those Ohio
Endeavorers are stated the essentials of
good citizenship and good government.

ROUTE OF CoLUMBUs.

Columbus followed the line of latitude
west from oPalos, and late in bis voyage
veered to the south, fearing that he would
go north OF Japan. This is why he struck
the Bahamas. Columbus was badly treated
because his voyage was not success He
had found something, Europe knew not
what, but supposed it was some part of
India, of very little speculative value; no
gold no spices. Vasco da CANA had passed
the Cape OF Good Hope and had unlocked
the combination. He had reached the
promised land. Cana was the success and
Columbus was the failure.
Amerigo yespucci had reached an un-
known land of great extent, south of the
equator, then supposed to be the .'oppo-
site world as drawn on the maps-of
Ptolemy. He sent q letter to his friend
Medici at Florence describing the land.
When this letter reached its destination
MedicI was dead, but one of his friends
got it and published it as a tract under
the caption 'The New Word Discovered
by the King of Portugal" 1t was not
Thought, of course. that this conflicted with
any discovery made by Columbus.
NAMED FOR vEsPUCCI.
He had reached some lovely part of the
Indies, vespueci, had reached the con-
tinent believed to exist and designated on
the maps Of P tolemy as the opposite world.
Thus was the new world named for Yes
pucci.

great continent lying between Europe and
the Far East was Seneca's Medea Strabo
