DIR. PARKHURST TO MEN.
Simply Doing Right, He Says, is Not
Religion.

New York, April DIR. Parkhursts
talk at Madison Square yesterday
morning was directed to the young men.
In speaking to the young men," he
said, zone is not confronting an element
that is thoughtless, although that which
is in them does not always find express
sion. In everybody there are two diff
ferent kinds of persons mixed in each
other; sometimes we are one of the two
and sometimes the other. In order to
live peaceably with each other people
should find common grounds on which to
meet, instead of counting grounds on
which to disagree. 1t is always posi-
bic to find a common resting place.
Simply doing right is not religion 1t
lacks the supreme motives of relig
ion. This is not said in the interest of
mere philosophical distinction, because
I don't care for such distinction. There
is not motive enough in simply doing
right that would get men to do it mere
ly for the sake of doing what was right
The great demand is for motive. Sigh
ting the power to do it. The impersonal
never can be trusted for permanency of
effect.
"A child will not observe rules of be-
haviOr unless they become to her the
impersonation of what her mother was
to her.
L hate theological and moral abstrac-
tons, because nothing can succeed but
the personal. The real ambition of ev-
cry man is to have something to which
he can bend his whole heart. What it
costs is not a measure of its compen-
Sation.''

WAR SHIP TO GO.
Admiral Beardslee Stationed
at San Diego
Is Ordered to Sail for Hawaii
at Once.
TROUBLE is FEARED
With the Japanese Who Pre-
dominate in Numbers.
Trying to Keep it Quiet at
Washington.

san Diego, Cal, April 2.-Rear Ad
miraI Beardslee received orders from
Washington today to proceed at
once with the flagship Philadelphia to
Honolulu. The order was followed by
a number of other cipher dispatches
which kept the flag secretary busy
translating~ The greatest excitement
prevails on board, as intimations have
been received that trouble is expected
between the Americans and japanese.
None of the other vessels here viii go.
San Francisco, April 2.-The news
that Rear Admiral Beardslee has been
ordered to proceed to Honolulu is
taken here as an Indication that the
government is apprehensiVe of trouble
in Hawaii over the Japanese question.
The latest advices from the islands
state that the Japanese are greatly ex-
cited over the determination of the Ha-
Waiian government to prevent illegal
landing of Japanese immigrants.
The JaI anese are already the dOmi-
nant power on the island as far as
numbers are concerned, and Japan has
been credited with encouraging emigra-
ton to Hawaii until the Japanese are
in control It is not known yet how
many ships will go with Admiral
Beardslee to the islands. The Marion
is now in Honolulu since the Alert left
that port March % for San Francisco.
The Oregon is on her way to Puget
SOuIlo 10 go 4illO 0Iy 0OCh Of OAl VI
chard. There are no evidences of IN
usual activity at Mare Island navy
yard. The Concord is the only vessel
there that is ready for sea. The Ranger
is in dry dock and will not go out for
a month. It will take months to get
the other vessels ready for sea.
At San Diego Admiral Beardslee has
with him the monitor Monadnock, the
coast defense vessel Monterey, the
cruiser Philadelphia and the school
ship Adams. 1t is not likely that either
the Monadnock or Monterey will be
sent on such a long cruise, and the
Philadelphia will probably be the yes
sci selected to carry the admiral to his
post.
Washington, April 2.-The announce
ment from San Francisco that Admiral
Beardslee had received orders to sail
for Honolulu could not be verified. Ad-
miral Ramsey was rather reticent
about denying or affirming the story.
IF Admiral Beardslee," he said, has
decided to go to Honolulu with his flag
ship there is no significance in the
movement of the vessel, as the island
lies in his territory and he is at liberty
to proceed there without any orders
from the navy department. He has
lust arrived at San Diego and 1T is just
possible that he received a suggestion
from the department to go to Honolulu,
but no orders were sent and it IS en-
tireIy optional with him whether the
vessel goes to Honolulu or not.
He was emphatic in his opinion that
there would be no significance in the
movement.

MRS. CLEyELAND's HOME.
It is Being Decorated by a Woman,
Miss Grace Temple.

New York, April miss Grace Lin
coin Temple, who is doing the decora-
lions and arranging the furniture in the
Cleveland mansion at Princeton, N. J.,
is a young woman, petite and pretty,
and of the blond type. She took her
first course in decorative art at the Mu-
scum of Fine Arts, IN Boston. After
leaving there she taught decoration for
two years in the Cleveland School of
Art. Then she opened her studio in
Washington. where for the first year
Miss Elizabeth Sheldon, now Mrs. Til
Iinghast, was her partner.
Miss Temple has her studio in the
Cairo at Washington. Mrs. Cleveland
became interested in Miss Temple and
in her work from the very first, and
was one of her most frequent visitors.
Miss Temple says each room in the
Cleveland mansion is done to carry out
the idea conveyed in its shape and size,
and of course the use to which it is
to be put. The colors are all light and
dainty and the furniture and hangingS
selected harmonic in hue and style
with the decorations Among Miss
Temples patrons besides Mrs. Cleve-
land are Mrs. Daniel Lamont, Mrs.
George NJ. Sternberg, Mrs. John M. Will
son, Mrs. e. J. Somers, Mrs. s. w
Woodward Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, Mrs
Parker Mann, Mrs. ]. w. Loundes,

HOW ITALY SEES 1T.
Unique Account of the Inauguration
in an italian Newspaper.

Washington, April LA Capital, a
newspaper published in Rome, printed
in good faith in an edition, copy of
which has been received here, the fol-
lowing brilliant but hardly veracious
description of President McKinley's in
auguration:
Some days ago the United States
was in feast; it was the dawn of a new
presidency. Mr.. Cleveland left the
White House to cede to Mr.. Mckinley,
who inherited at the same time all his
neutrality-suspicious. very much
envied in that country. 1t is at Wash
ingtOn where this transmission of pow
er takes place, and there is nothing
more interesting than this ceremony,
which characterizes the temperament
of Americans.
For eight days The preparations
were going on with feverish activity
the trains were unloading millions OF
passengers, coming from the utmost
points of this vast country. As to the
hero of the day, Mr.. Mckinley, he was
for one week residing with his family in
a small villa, away from the tumultu-
Gus crowd. He profted by his last
hours as a plain citizen by meditating
on the immense responsibility which he
was about to assume. AT all events,
he wished to pass TRANQUILITY the night
of the Sd of March Surrounded by his
family he remained until II o'clock in
his studio. Thursday, at the stroke of
Il, the pTesident-elect, without uniform,
without pomp, plainly dressed in black,
with silk hat, walked to the inaugural
place to take the oath of Office.
Nothing was so grand as the parade
which characterized the Democracy of
America After the inaugural address
the president, having reviewed the
troops, went on foot to the White
House, always followed by the crowd,
which was singing Yankee Doodle and
The Star Spangled Banner The
president, having gone through such a
fatiguing day, had yet to assist at
public banquet of 10000 covers. The
ball, which marked the end of this joy
Gus day, was one of unheard magnifi-
cence.
1T certainly was original To see 1O0-
900 persons dancing in a tent in the pub
lie gardens"

BRIGHT FOR BIG STORES.
Department Store Bill Not to Pass

Springfield, ILL.,, April 2.-The depart

and now have representatives here
asking a hearing on the anti-depart-
ment store legislation. H J. Hamlin,
an attorney from ShelbyvilIe, is here
to represent the Fair and SiegeI & Coo

has served notice on Moses Solomon
that he will want a hearing. And Mr..
Cooper of the Big Store has given
similar warning.
The anti-department store bill is Ian
gushing. There is small promise now
of its passing before election. Presi-

cation of six other mennbers of the
Business Mems association, processes to

they all own a considerable discourage

foot ball game between them, and in
the scrimmage both have lost the. ball. -
A few unwise moves by such leaders

HYMEN'S EASTER TORCH.
Spring Matrimonial Season in New
York to be Brilliant

New York, April From the num-
Der OF engagements announced, and the
advance orders already received by ca
terers. florists and other tradesmen, it
is already apparent that the Easter
matrimonial season in this city will be
one of the most brilliant of recent
years.
The number of fashionable weddings
is said by society people to be largely
above the average. and in addition cards
are yet to be issued for several events,
the dates OF which in Easter week have
only recently been determined upon.
The usual boom in the wedding market
is ascribed in part to the evidences of
returning prosperity, and also in
measure to the fact that Easter week
this year comes much later than usual,
OF practically on the edge of spring, and
that consequently the atmospheric CON
ditions for the honeymoon are likely to
be more favorable than when Easter oc-
ours in March, with the prospect of an
other month of winter weather ahead.
