Especial Washington Letter.l

The poet told the truth, although
there will always be some doubt con-
cerning the authorship of the lines.
The words have a jingle OF merriment,
wine and Wassail, and indicate that
they were written by man; and by
just such man as Col. John A. Joyce.
But Ella Wheeler Wilcox claims their
authorship:
Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep. and you weep alone.
This grand old earth must borrow its mirth.
1t has troubles enough of its own
Phillip Phillips, the celebrated singer
of sacred music, used TO sing a verse
containing the words: Though you
may forget the singer, you will not for
get the song" and so :. makes no diff
| ference from whose pen the lines came,
| nnd it would make no difference if we
never heard of the controversy concern
| ing authorship-the words contain
truth which is universal.
The moralists and theorists of all ages

There are ascetics to-day who believe
in the repression Of mirth, even in chill
drcn. There is priestly class who live
in seclusion, and, meeting each other,
always make the cheerful allusion:
"Brother, we must all die" There are
others who look upon the world through
glasses of different color, and who be-
i;cve in extracting all the pleasure pos
sible out of this tieeting existence.
Some of them are the careless ex-
tremistx who clink their bumpers and
sing: Eat. drink and be merry But
there are still others who attain happy

and extreme asceticism, and they are IN
the majority.

able incomes, the families of Statesmen,
and of the higher salaried governlnen

are little card parties given by th'

on the fifth floor, and the ladies on th

the hotels just as calls are made a
home from house to house.

that gambling for money is growing
less and less among gentlemen ever

No Chinese Concert Gardens In New YORK
There is one feature of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinaman. and that is the concert
garden. To congregate in public
nlace to drink Intoxicating beverages,
listen to sensuous music, and watch
vplgar displays OF the human figure:
to be waited upon by young women OF
more than questionable character; to
take part in profane and obscene talk;
all this is beneath the dignity of
Chinaman. and nowhere in the Chinese
quarter, from beginning to end, can
such a place be found. But they are
found on the Bowery, and Germans.

Topeka Presbytery Decides that III on
Paying Members Have No Vote.

The Presbytery of Topeka convened
in the parlors of the Westminster Pres
byterian curch. at the corner of COL
lege avenue and Huntoon street, yes
terday afternoon at . o'clock. Eigh-
teen pastors and elders from the diff
ferent dioceses between Junction CITY
and the Missouri river answered to
their names ais they were called.
The first business before the body
was the discussion of the report of the
judicial commission, upon the question
who is entitled to vote for officers and
upon important matters of the church 81,
The purport of the report was that only
those members of the congregation that
We're in good and regular standing, and
who contributed their just proportions
to all the necessary expenses of the
church, were allowed to have anything
to say in the election OF officers and
like matters The second and most im-
portant matter of interest was the COM

him removed. because they did not like
his preaching. To accomplish this end,
and to break his ministry down. his
enemies canvassed the congregation
and sent Mr.. Reney, one of the elders
of the church, here to appear against
their pastor. They have also absented
themselves from the services OF the
church, have refused to pay anything
toward the necessary expenses of the
church and have undertaken to control
the congregat ional meetings. The Pres
bytery decided that such q charge
against a minister was trivial and un-
worthy of Christian people
According to Presbyterian law it Isl
the duty of the church session to dis
cipline such persons, SO it was decided
unanimously that DR.. Baczus should
continue to hold his position as pastor
and the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the judgment of
this Presbytery. in its Interpretation OF
Presbyterian law, that members of the
church who have not paid their just
proportion to the necessary. exp enses OF
the church are not ia good standin
