Bishop Harsrove Of the NJ. E. Church
South, who, with his wife, has beer visiting
friends in Washington for several days
past today, with Mrs. Harsrove, went to
Baltimore The proposed reception to the
bishop which was arranged by the members
of the Epworth League of Epworth Church,
corner of 9TH and A streets northeast, did
lot materialize, because Bishop Hargrove
missed his way to the church after leavin
the residence of a gentleman by whom he
vas entertained at dinner, and did not reach
Epworth until after the hour for the regu-
lar services to begin. The members of the
league were present in large numbers, and
much regret was felt on account of the
bishops mishap. Later Bishop Hargrove
preached an able discourse on Prayer in
The main auditorium of the church.

The Princes original aim was to make an exhaustive collection of authorities and examples Illustrating his own special studies-vlz, the Eng fish, French, Italian and Spanish dia- lects, and the Basque language. In all these departments the library is par tlcularly rich and almost complete, He afterwards extended his purpose so as to include all the known languages of tho world The books are in excellent condition and sumptuously bound. Eng fish scholars are anxious to keep this valuable collection in their country and hope to secure it for the Guildhall li- brary, where it would be easily access sible to all students. A committee, of which the Bishop of Stepney is chair man, and MT. Henry Hucks Gibbs is treasurer, has been formed to achieve this result, and promises of support has been received from Lord Rothschild and others. The London corporation have undertaken to take charge of the library in the event of it's being offered for their acceptance, and have agreed to provide for it's accommoda- tion at Guildhall.

good and Well-metaled roads to replace these natural paths. Numerous villas have lbeen built in this quarter; tasteful gardens alternate with picturesque copses of native bush. Landward, the eye ranges over boundless eNpanse CT open parklike country, seaWard over the sparkling waters of the bay; while the huddled town at the foot of the heights, the spacious river, and the shipping fill up the nearer view. Seen from this point. the natural advantages of Lour- enco Marques are apparent to the most casual observation.
 It possesses @ hal'bor unrivaled on the continent south of the equator. Dela- goa Bay itself is almost landlocked, and sheltered from every breeze that blows except gales from the east, which sell dom occur; three navigable rivers flow into it from north, west and south while it's great eNpanse is ample enough to afford anchorage for the entire Brit ish fleet. English rlver on which stands the town, is a mile in width where it enters the bay, and has a depth of water which enables warships | to anchor within a stone's throw ot the ljetty, and ocean steamers or the largest class to discharge their cargoes directly on the wharves. But these advantages are nullified to a great extent by the apathy and incapacity of the Portu- guese, who have shown themselves to be unable to cope with the growing in Aux of trade. The delays which occur in forwarding are so vexatious that merchants in the Transvaal still prefer the costlier and longer but more expedl- tious route through Cape Colony and Natal.
 In the hands of its present owners, Delagoa Bay is useless and expensive possession, and the obvious advantages of the new railway are to a great extent lost. But if held by a progressive pow CT, Lourenco Marques would develop at once into a first-class port, an invalua- ble coaling station, and a strategic na- val base of the greatest importance. The power that holds Delogoa Bay will dominate the coast from Cape Point to Guardafui besides holding the key tc | the internal trade of the wealthiest part of South Africa To whom will it fall The question is one which is daily deba- ted throughout the length and breadth of the South African states, to all of which the question is one of vital inter- est.

MORALITY " BUSTNEsS.

Marshall Field, the noted merchant of that the standard of business morality in Chicago is perceptibly lower than it was five years ago and is steadily sink ing. He ought to know what he is talk ing about, and it appears to be gener- ally admitted that he does. No effort has been made to show that his state ment is not true and it has called out similar statements in regard to the con- dition of business morality in other cit ies. One of the Chicago papers, the News, makes plausible explanation of the situation when it says: That statement is simply another way of say- ing that the business affairs of Chicago have grown larger and more complicat- ed in five years. Comm mercial develop ment nowadays is generally along lines that lead away from the ethical ideal. A trust absorbs the material activity of dozen individual concerns, but it doesn't gather to itself an atom of their | morality. In a general way the vaster the enterprise becomes the more lightly the idea of personal moral obligation sits upon those who direct it's affairs. They lose the sense of a personal tie which comes of personal experience of
 
 ness" The Chicago Inter-Ocean takes a narrower view of the matter. It says: ment incident to the worlds fair, the worry, temptation and strain incident to the panic, the fierce competition of a consistently declining market, all had their influence in denoralizing the weaker men in the commercial world, and their failures to meet obligations, or their evasions of plain business prin- ciples, possibly led to the embarrass- nlent of those who held to the straight
 line, be the times what they might.
 The favorite theory of the prevalent immortality in business seems to be that the bigger the corporation the smaller the soul thereof, and that the increase of big corporations is making business more wicked than it has been. Business is certainly business nowadays in this country, and if it has ever been less moral than it is now it was not very moral then. But people are not in bus. mess for their health, you know.

Immediately in front Is placed small white owl with outstreched wings, the tips extending over the edge of the hat on both sides. The brim is shorter in back than in front and IS slightly rolled at the sides. The hat comes we'll over the forehead, which makes the owl look as if he were stand ing upright, and this with the outspread wings gives a very striking effect.
