At the dinner of the Whitefriars'
Club, London, which includes the
best t.known authors and newspaper
writer's, United States Consul Genra
Collins was the guest of honor, and
over one hundred persons we're pres
ent, including Messrs. Henty, Farjeon,
Christie Murray, Poultney Bigelow
and Mr.. Lowe, editor of the st.
James's Gazette. Replying to toast,
the Consul General made q speech of
refreshing candor, in which he good
naturedly criticised the English and
praised America. "You have so much
time at your disposal, he said. "as to
be able to devote much OF it to the
regulation OF the affairs of other coun-
tries. You hold your meetings, ap-
point your committees and denounce
lynchings in America; yet you kill
more monthly in Africa than we have
done in our history"

Nobody knows how many vessels
have been wrecked on Cape Cod since
the bleak December day when the
Mayhower rounded Race Point and
sought shelter IN what is now the har-
Dor of Provincetown. The number is
very great, however, and the loss of
life on this most dangerous part OF the
whole New England coast has been
something appalling. A list, admitted
to be incomplete, of the wrecks since
1878 shows that 151 vessels, including
three steamers, have gone to pieces on
the pitiless sands of the Cape, and had
not the waves always hastened to re-
move the evidences of their work, the
shore all the way from Chatham, at
the elbow of Massachusetts, elbow, to
the crook of her bent hand, would be
piled high with the ribs and planklng
of shattered vessels. A large proper
ton of the Cape's victims arc coastlng
schooners, with only an occasional
bark or brig. These disasters. there
fore, rarely attract much attention,
but they are tragical none the less,
and almost every storm adds to the
number of dreadful stories which the
lighthouse keepers and members ol

1t Will Hardly DO.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Feb. % The
scheme to place statue of Brigham Young
in the National Capitol at Washington. as
being Utah's most prominent man, will
hardly obtain. No one disputes Brgham's
ability. He made an arid desert
to blossom as the rose; he filled with Joy the
heart of every unmarried female who came
his way; he was possessed of almost abnor-
nal executive ability. But the ethical fea-
lures of the religious policywhich dominated
him and his associates were not only repug-
nant to the great mass of the American peo-
pie, but were distinctly condemned by act
of Congress. On this account to have a
statue of the chief apostle of polygamy
placed with the distinguished public men of
other states in the capitol at Washington
would be little less than an insult.

The recent shatte-ing of the steel pool
makes Andrew Carnegie, who was one of the
principal figures in that concern. person of
unusual interest. Mr.. Carnegie is a native
of Dumferline, Scotland. and was brought
to America at the age of II. His rise from
a messenger boy to the possessor of a for
tune of many millions is an interesting story.
Mr.. Carnegie believes in using his money
while he still lives. and to an Unprecedented
extent he has done this. BY the size of his
gifts he ranks with Girard. Cooper and Pea
body. Mr.. Carnegie is an author of note
and agreat lover of music. In 1887 he was
married to Miss Louise Whitfield of New
York City. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie are
extremely fond of travelling and spend little
time in New York. They have no children.

Professor Munk of the University Of
Berlin, famous for his discoveries in
the physiology of the brain, says it is
a great mistake to suppose that gym
nastic exercises sandwiched in between
school hours rest the pupils. On the
contrary, he says. they still more
fatigue the brain, which ought to have
absolute rest. If both studies and
gymnastics are to be INDUCED in on
the same day, he says, they should be
separated by intervals of rest.

diocese the regulations for the observance
of the season of Lent among the faithful
which were read in the churches on Sunday.
The temperance feature is observed by tile

and commendable custom is that of abstain
ing during Lent from stimulants, in honor
of the sacred thirst of our divine Saviour" ;"
In connection with this abstinence recon-
mendation half million "I Thirst cards

ATHENS, Greece. Feb. 23-King George
OF Greece is the son of Christian lN, king of
Denmark, who has furnished consorts for
half the royal houses OF Europe. He was
born in 1915, and under his baptismal name.
William, was serving in the Danish navy,
when, at the age of Is, he was selected to
rule the little kingdom of Greece. King
George sits upon the throne by the selection
of Great Britain. France and Russia. In Octo-
Der, 1863. he succeeded King OthO who, when
he returned from ten days yachting trip
with his queen in October. 1862, found his sub
jects had decided they wanted "a change of
rulers and would not let him land, As the
Greeks are seafaring race, and the men
are held to military service for - years,
two of which must be in the regular army,
King George has small but seasoned army
and navy. He stands as the guardian of
Christianity at the gateway to the Mos
lem empire. He has boldly attempted to
reverse history, and conquer fromthe Turks
one of the ancient possessions OF the Gre
clan empire. Whatever his real reason
may he for planting his standard on Cretan
soil, whether to rescue Christians from OPP
preston or add to his territory. he is favora-
bly, situated to involve all his own and his
wife's relations, representing nearly every
ruling house in Europe.

State Senator Clarence LeXow of New
York, whose recent trust committee investi-
cations have caused the promoters of great
trusts to tremble, was born in New York in
1852. He was educated for a journalist. He
decided to take up law instead of journal
ism, and studied at the Columbia law school.
He practiced law in New York city until
1881, when he retired on account of ill
health, and went to Nyack to live. In 1893
he was elected state senator, and since then
his ability and worth have been recognized.
and he has'made a splendid record. In no
way has he made greater reputation, how
eyer, than as chairman of the committee
which in 1894 made so thorough an investi-
CATION into the municipal government of
New York, and did away with 50 much evil
and corruption in its workings

rending crush. Eleven were so badly in
jured that they were taken to the hospital or
their homes. The fire other than this did
