1T was the pleasurable fortune of the
editor OF THE NEWS, this forenoon, to be
introduced to his esteemed fellow citizen
whose immaterialized self, as frequently
evidenced in these columns, he has long
known and appreciated, though having
been deprived Of a like acquaintance in
the flesh. The ceremony Of introduction
was performed by a mutual friend with
rare grace and delicacy, but in entire in
nocence of the effect that might be pro-
duced by the contact. Mr.. CLARK &C.

and significant observation to the

SENATOR BEN TILLMAN has not been
invited to stay over after the Commercial
Club banquet and address the Brown
University Alumni Association next Tues
day. There are go. Ooo, 900 people in this
country and although the list of celebri-
ties who are worth seeing and listening
to Is small in proportion, there are men
who are prominent in the public eye be-
sides the freaks and blatherskites of only
temporary notoriety, and the Brown
Alumni has received and will entertain
one or two of them.

STATEMENT OF srEIyERT HOUSE.

STATEMENT OF STEINERT HOUSE.
A representative of The NEWS called
upon Mr.. ALEXANDER STEINERT, presi-
lent OF the STEINERT d Sons Company, in
Boston yesterday, to secure, IL possible,
from the highest authority in the well
known piano house, some statement as
to the position of the firm in the matter
of the proposed suit to be brought IN be-
half Of the estate of the late CYRUS c.
ARMSTRONG. Mr.. sTEINERT, while receiv-
ing our representative with marked cour-
tesy, naturally preferred, in view of the
claim for the return OF money received,
and for damages against his corporation,
a purely business and legal complication
that may only be decided in a court of
law, to maintain a reserve on the matter,
but he dictated TO his stenographer a
statement to which we take occasion to
give as full prom inence as possible, and
as the standing of the house demands, as
follows;
"There is no truth in tha current reports
relative 10 the Armstrong matter. The facts
of the case are these: The accounts Of M.
Stcinert a. Sons, Providence. were short in
1899 TO the sun of about Sl2, 600. This fact
was proven upon an examination OF the hooks.
Mr.. Armstrong had been in the employ of M.
steinert 81 Sons for a number Of years, and
had sole charge OF the BOOKS Of the company.
This shortage was discovered. and Mr.. Arm
strong voluntarily settled with us for the
deuciency."
Mr.. ALBERT STFINERT, who came from
the Springfield house to take charge OF
the Providence branch, assures us that
the report that his brother, EDWARD, is
seriously sick, or that he is sick at all,
or hat his visit to Europe was in any way
made necessary by his condition of
health, is ~upfounded. He feels that
great injustice has been done his brother
by the connection made of his name with
the ARMSTRONG Tragedy, ana naturally
considers that quite aside from the BUSH
ness features OF the case the honor OF his
family and the good name of his brother
are involved. AS TO the claim on
behalf Of Mr.. ARMSTRONG, Mr.. STEINERT
states that he knows nothing, except
what he hes read in the newspapers. No
suit has been brought, and until the case
Is thus presented to the notice Of the
house the sTEINERT & sons Company can
have nothing to say, as, from a business
and legal point of view, they have moth
ing TO controvert. II suit is brought, the
claim will be contested, of course.

OF all MS worldly possessions becadss of
his religious belief, whose people are In
the like position, with the added circum-
stance that their business Is blotted out
beyond recovery, so that they cannot do
a thing beyond getting bread for their
children; whose faith is his only resource
because the so,salled Christian govern
ments have deserted him to his fate, and
who has felt that, whatever his suffer
ings, he is as sure Of sympathy from the
American Board as from Godl Now,
while at his wits end for escape from
those who seek his left, while getting from
charity an occasional piece OF bread for
his children, and while hopefully await
ing an answer from the missionary to
whom he has made known his position,
he receives answer that the Board has
ordered the reduction by half of the aid
hitherto given toward his support. Do
not ask me to be the messenger OF such
heartlessness toward those victims Of
overwhelming calamity"
Sacrifice and distress are expressed in
all of the communications SO far re-
ceived. There is no suggestion OF COM
plant at the reduction of salaries, but Bit
ter protest, carrying with it all the en-
phasis of an intimate knowledge Of the
necessities of the situation, against the re-
duced appropriations for the succor OF
body and soul Missionaries offer TO
resign and still further reduce expenses
that there may be more funds for the
needs OF their charges. The suspension OF
colleges and theological schools is threat
ened. Churches must be closed; congre-
cations, gathered at expense of Christian
effort and money, must be scattered; the
entire work well nigh paralyzed. The
want OF money can make destruction that
the sword of the Turk failed to accom-
plish.
The appeal of the missionaries is made
to the board. The appeal Of the board is
made to the Congregational Churches.
"The Churches must answer" says the
board; and it is evident that the churches
must answer speedily, II relief is to be
effective.

VICTORIA'S REIGN.

1t is not any anniversary that Is
to be celebrated in honor of Queen
Victoria tonight. The event is
one marked by an hour or even q
minute, that point of time now
passed when the venerable sover-
eign has reigned longer than any
of her predecessors. Hers has
indeed been glorious" reign.
Trite as the term here borrowed
from the national anthem is, no
other single word is more expires.
sive or true to history. Victoria
is not merely a product of the era
to which glory is universally at
tributed, but her own personality
has created much of the golden
quality. She has never been a
mere figurehead although abso-
lutism has long since disappeared
from the British constitution,
where indeed it never had more
than temporary and usurping lodg-
ment against protests moro or less
pronounced. Queen Nictoria's
wisdom and tact, with
fine discrimination between
right and wrong, has often saved
her counsellors and executive
officers from disastrous blunders.
Her firm supervision of state
documents and dictation of their
reyision-it is matter of historical
note even now in her lifetime
has saved the nation from inter
national broils that would have
left q poisonous trail of bitterness
that even her long reign would
not outlast. 1t is largely due to
the Queens active influence that
the bad feeling between America
and the Mother Country left by
the War of Independence, and
whose embers were famed into
fame by the war of 1912, seems
now to be rapidly becoming re-
placed by the sentiments of
ardent friendship of mutual r,la-
tions. AT this very moment the
probabilities are that the mighty
empire of great sovereign peo-
pie is ready to cooperate with
the mighty empire of a great
peoples sovereign, reigning with
their most cordial will, in one
of the mightiest services to op.
pressed and suffering millions Of
people which man ever rendered
to man. Not merely in the line
of that tactful suppression of lat
ent national prejudices, which
makes this community delightful
Iy cosmopolitan, may residents of
other nationalities than British
join in the informal rejoicing over
Victoria the Goods attainment of
the longest reign on the throne Of
her ancestors. Many nations have
benefited in material progress,
moral advancement and political
liberty from the benign infuen-
ces emanating from the whole
some reign of the venerable and
venerated Queen Victoria. All
friends of enlightened and pro-
gressive government, all persons
who feel the thrill of nineteenth
century life, may be expected to
rejoice with those who do rejoice
on this remarkably memorable
occasion. -

handling them. They only cost
