and they served notice upon the donor
OF the window that il could not be al
lowed to remain in their church.
In vain the bishop insisted that or
thodoxy would not be outraged by the
appearance of TRANSPORTED angel
without wings. They made the ques-
ton one Of theology, and on the ground
that a. figure floating in the air must
be an angel, and that the Bible
taught that angels had wings, deter
mined to stand or fall.
The majority of the church members
sided with the Mcintosh family and the
bishop, who. as their spiritual shep-
| herd, they were inclined to believe
would not lead them far out of the
way; but Rector Wilson and the build
ing committee held their ground. and
yesterday the window was taken out
under the supervision of the artist,
who was as indignant as Mr.. McIn-
tosh.
Mr.. Mcintosh, who had intended by
other generous gifts to further beautify
the edifice, now declares that not one
cent will he give to st. Marks as long
as there is any danger of committee
of carping critics. passing Judgment on

The window that Mr. Mcintosh has
taken back to New York was declared
by Bishop Huntington and others ia
miliar with church decoration to be the
finest that had ever been set I'D in the
central New York diocese Great in
dignation is expressed by members of
st. Marks that through the obstinacy
of the rector and building committee
such a gem should be allowed to slip
out of their hands.
The objections of the god rector (the
use of good in such cases as this is
largely synonymous with silly viii
strike the ordinary lay mind as anus
ing. Very few people in modern times
look upon the colored windows of
churches and cathedrals that have
figures OF angels with wings who do not
wonder why no muscles are provided
with which to work the wings. They
are also painfully aware that in the
homologues of arms, and that to endow
angels with both arms and wings is to
distort natures ways. These conven-
tional wings are almost always fash
Toned after the manner of doves wings.
| The reason for this probably is that
the dove is usually associated with =
lea Of peace. But ornithologically
there is a better one than that. which
is the wings of the colunbidae are of
a shape to give the greatest speed in
flight.
So far as being true to nature is
concerned the MEDIEVAL idea of the
form of satan's wings was far juster
than the idea Of angels wings. That
idea was that his wings were of q
membranous substance, being attached
to the body and arms after the man
ner of a bats wing. The bats and fly
ing squirrels show there is a founda-
ton in the animal kingdom for the
idea.
But who does not know of angels
without wings? Every lover knows an
angel without wings. and 50 does every
father and every mother.

A MODERN MOOD.

that are gone.
But We must have machinery now.
Ye must go it on rollers while mowin'
the lawn.
And lots employ steam fur to plow.

weth alarm,
Tell L long ter forsake the hull scene,
An stop all this worry an sell OFF the
farm,
An buy me a flynn machine.
When summer comes back an the woods
are a-thrill,
An the flowers are noddin' so gay,
When the boss sorter scowls eZ We start
up the hill,
An all nature invites We ter play,
I'm tempted by weather whose indolent
charm,
Makes me wish tibet all ife were serene,
Ter go back on workin' an sell off the
farm.
An buy me a flynn machine.
I'd float far away whur the worryin'
sound
OF the cow-bells is lost on the air;
An Id anchor clus under a cloud when L

THE UNBUs1NEss-11KE HOUSE

Woodrow Wilson familiarized the
country with the idea that congress
sional government after all is nothing
but committee government. And that
idea has become rather deep rooted. Is
it possible that it is to be uprooted? All
during the present session of congress
Mr.. jerry Simpson has been calling the
attention OF Speaker Reed and the
country at large to the fact that the
house is not organized. The sua-ve
speaker has persisted in sitting down
upon Mr.. Simpson and the perform
ance of the two gentlemen has caused
a good deal of merriment, both in and
out of congress. But affairs have
reached a stage where the house must
organize or consent to do business di-
rect and without the Intervention of
committees.
Yesterday the senate refused to refer
Senator Morgans Cuban resolution to
the committee on foreign affairs To
an extent that was a declaration
against committee government. A mo-
tfon in the house to refer the same res
olution TO the house committee on
foreign affairs would be out of order.
for the reason that the house is not
organized. The house now can only
deal with this resolution or any other
directly. The house has refused to or
ganize so that it could not transact any
other business than that of passing the
tariff bill, but now it finds itself con-
fronted with business of the very first
Importance How will it get out of its
dilemma? The speaker is very re-
sourceful and he is now confronted
with situation that is going to tax
him very much before he is we'll out
of it.
If the Morgan resolution comes to
naugit else in the house, it may result
in bringing about a complete organiza-
ton, thing that should have been
done when it first met. Committee
government is better than car govern
ment.

ANGELS WITHOUT WINGS.

The New York Sun gives the follow
ing very interesting account of a church
dissension over the question of wings
on angels:
An angel with clipped wings, or, to
be exact, without any wings at ALL
has been the cause of a pretty row,
which may end in the disruption of st.
Marks Episcopal church in Syracuse.
The angel was the central figure Of d
memorial window designed by Miss
Mary Tillinghast of New York and pre-
scented to the church by ex-Mayor John
E. Mcintosh of Auburn in memory of
his late wife, who was at one time
member OF the choir of ST Marks
There were three full length figures OF
angels in the window, one sitting and
one kneeiing and the third, transfig
ured angel, standing on a foundation
that to the building committee didn't
see-u any too secure, and singing 70 q
lutte. The third angel, being transfg-
ured, according 10 the artists concep-
ton, was devoid Of wings.
The window was placed in the church
and approved by Bishop Huntington as
scripturally and artisticaily correct. 1t
remained there one Sunday and was
admired by the congregation But the

The following little story comes from
Goshen. Ind No affidavit goes with il,
but 1t IS good enough to tell, even if il

court read the judges decree and the
bishop of London presented to me the
logbooh of the Mayhower. The great
interest in this matter is the growing
kind feeling that the English people
have for US. They value their literary
treasures very highly. and when the
transfer of the Mayhower's log was
suggested, the bishop of London, at

people as such.
