the papers, which are brief and pointed,
display the fineness of feeling for which
Mr.. Curtis is remembered. They are,
moreover, models of the art of editorial
writing, and might be studied with
profit by every young journalist. One of
the most timely papers in the collection
might, indeed, have been written for
those young men who have adopted, or
are thinking of adopting, journalistic
work. 1t is entitled Newspaper
Ethics, and it presents very clearly and
simply a statement of the place of the
newspaper in the community and of the
means by which it's vast influence may
be directed for the public welfare. The
other essays are on the following sub
jects: Extravaganza at College, -
Brains and Brawn," "Hazing," THE
Soul of the Gentleman" ''Theater Man

ties Tobacco and Health" Tobacco

It is interesting to note that the No
vember number Of the Atlantic
Monthly CBoston), the first issue of it's
forty-frst. year, shows in the variety
and value of its contents the same
timeliness and energy which character
lied the fortieth anniversary issue. The
opening contribution is a review of the
new life of Tennyson, by his son. This
is an important literary event, and it
is reviewed by Hamilton w Mabie, one
of the most discriminating literary stu
dents and graceful writer's. Another
article is a paper by Ira N. Hollis of
Harvard University. formerly of the
United States Navy, on the frigate
Constitution. Professor Hollis tells the
story of the Constitution, her adven-
lures and achievements. Two articles

Of insuring the healthy vitality Of a

While it is probably true that steel
engraving, as well as engraving on
wood, is being supplanted by the va
Tious cheaper, more rapid, and more
accurate forms Of process and photo
engraving, or by the more personal and
artistic etching by painter-e -etchers, it
does not follow that the interest in
engrayings on the part Of the collec-
tors is any the less keen. Indeed, it
is probable that just in proportion as
the art Of engraving is neglected, their
interest will increase.

fact, the dispute between DR.. Congosto
and Senior Guzman became so heated
that it nearly ended in a most disagree
able manner, and their conversation,
becoming generally known, has been
much commented upon. and has had a
very unfavorable effect among the
Spanish residents.
1t is believed here that there will be
great excitement in Spain so soon as
the United States congress meets. Let
tiers found upon captured insurgents
show that they were recently advised
TO keep uD the struggle for three
months longer, pointing out that the
first act of the Sagasta government
would be the removal of General Wey-
Ter, and adding that war would be
made on the Spanish minister in Wash
ington, Senior Dupuy de LONE. It is
charged that Senior Dupuy de Lone and
DR.. Congosto are to blame for the
spread in the United States Of the SEN
timent in favor of autonomy, and it is
even alleged that they have induced
American newspapers to advocate this
policy.
There is much excitement here at
present over the news of the landing
OF another filibustering expedition by
the Dauntless, and the hard feelings
against the Americans has consequent
ly been increased in bitterness.

'4ITTLE CHJRCH'S" PASTOR
DEATH OF DR.. EoUcEToN, WHO
GAVE TT FAME.
Memories of the Funeral of An Actor
in the Wallaclz Co1npany-Favor-
tie Church for Actors.

New York Nov. 17.-Rev. George H.
Houghton, pastor Of the Church of the
TRANSPORTATION better known as "the
little church around the corner died
tonight.
DR.. Houghton was born in Deerf1eld,
Mass. in $780, and in the year 1916 he
was admitted to the ministry of the
Protestant Episcopal church. In 1913
the ambitious young clergyman or
ganized the Church OF the Transtigura-
ton, which was destined to become in
after years world famous as the little
church around the corner" 1t has
borne that name for more than quar-
ter of century. The circumstances
through which the title was bestowed
were as follows:
George Holland, the actor, for many
years a member of the old Wallack
company. and father of Z. NJ. and
Joseph Holland died on Dec 90 1870.
In arranging for the funeral Joseph
Jefferson and others called on Rev. Mr..
Sabine, pastor of fashionable church
on Madison avenue, and asked him if
he would conduct the funeral services.
Ascertaining that Holland was an ac-
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Sabine declined to
conduct the funeral services, and when
asked by Mr.. Jefferson and his com
panions if he could tell them where
lney cOulc get clergyman, ne re-
marked that there was a little church
around the corner where they do such
things"
The dead actors friends went to that
little church and were received with
kindly consideration by Rev. DR..
Houghton. This incident formed a
live theme for talk all over the coun-
try and it established the little church
around the corner" firmly in the af-
fections of the public, as well as of
the theatrical profession. Since that
/ time many prominent actors and ac-
tresses have been buried from that
church, among them Lester Wallack,
Dion Boucicault and Edwin Booth.
Many are also married there and
many have their children christened
in the little church. The actors show
their appreciation in many ways, some
by attendance, others by renting pews,
and IN 1893, when a deficit in the
church finances was learned of by the
dramatic profession, they turned in
With viii and quickly replenished the
depleted treasury.
Although loved by actors and men,
bers of that profession, DR.. Houghton
attended theatre but once in his life.
That was the Chatham street theatre.
He was but 10 years old at the time
and ran away from home.

Things About the Sport.

Things About the Sport.
Baltimore, Nov. 17.-Nr. Otto Zeigler
Of California has written a letter giving
reasons for asking reinstatement in the
L. A. w, in which he says:
First, the new league of this coast,
50 far as 1 can judge, is about on its
last legs.
Second, 4he prizes under the coast
league are SO small that when a sea-
sons work is over the average rider is
out of pocket on the racing game. To
cite an instance Of this, I will state
that 1 went in the California Associat-
ed Cycling clubs circuit this year at
my own expense, and cleaned I'D, on
Mr.. Welch's percentage scheme, just
$l.5O as result Of my effort in three
race meetings, in which 7 captured six
flrstS and one second, which in the
east, would have paid me $3.50 at the
very lowest And, another thing, cycle
racing is dead so to speak, in Cali
fornia- Cycle tracks of the finest kind
are being torn up. as they do not pay
the owners. All this is on account of
the eastern riders keeping clear of this
new league, as it is against the L. 4.
W. rules to ride on Sunday, and the
California Associated Cycle clubs is
only petty organization in opposition
to the L. A. w.
Let me say in conclusion that cycle
racing needs new faces to keep up the
enthusiasm of the public"
