Senator Turpie on the House.

Nobody would ever accuse Senator Tur-

five-minute speech in the senate the

of the ludicrous which no one ever sus-

ATTACKS THE THEATERs.
Rev. G. L. Hare Says Some Strong
Things Against Them.


1.-THE Christian and the Theater' was the
subject of the sermon preached last night
by Rev. G. L. Hare, pastor of the College
avenue Baptist Church, his text being:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the council of the ungody, nor stitch in
the way of sinners, nor stitch in the seat
of the scornful." Psalms i, 9. Judging
from what Rev. Mr.. Hare said last night
there is no good in theaters, and their
whole tendency is to degrade and democrat
ize humanity to such an extent that Chris
tans who wish to avoid the appearance of
evil, as adjured by the great apostles, must
not attend them under any circumstances,
if for no other reason because Christians
are commanded not to place stumbling
blocks in the way of their weaker brethren.
The pastor briefly reviewed the history
of the Roman and Greek theater, and
showed how it would have been impossible
for the primitive Christians to lend their
presence to them and faithfully practice
the doctrines they were preaching. The
modern theater, he declared, is as far be-
low the theater of classic literature as mod
ern rum is below that which used to be
made, which was comparatively free from
deleterious effects. Writers of the drama
as well as actors and actresses and those
who have made study of the subject, he
declared, bear witness to its evil influence.
He quoted from Macready, great English
actor, VINO asserted, None or my children
shall enter the theater nor have acQuaint-
ance with actors nor actresses"
Il do not say all theaters are utterly bad,
as some are more damaging than Others
said he, but as an institution the theater
is gilded nuisance, an influence for law
lessness and crime. The theater that a
Christian could attend would have to be a
puritan theater; the actors would have to
be pure and the drama free from evil and
pure Such theater would be bankrupt in
six months. No puritan theater could be
maintained. You make a theater that a
Christian could attend and it would soon
pass off its stage of action. AS the theaterS
now are, no Christian can attend them
Take the very location of theaterS; it is
against the idea of patronage by Chris
tians."
While there are exceptions. he said that,
best people from the testimony of history
and those who have investigated the SUBJ
ject. Christians should not associate with
them" he continued, except to lift them
up. No Christian attends the theater for
that purpose. The great mass of patrons
are men who have lost all love of wife and
home and are seeking that which will
arouse passion.
The theater, he said takes the time and
money of the Christian. The scenes enact
ed are exciting, unreal and unnatural, and
give those who attend them an unnatural
idea of life. Through them the devil is
much have you paid into Gods treasury
how much have you paid into the treasury
OF the devil? The dance soonest robs woni-
en- of their virtue The theater soonest
robs man of his virtue. They go hand in
hand to drag men and women down"

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
Timely Hints ApropOs of the Coming
Holidays.
Philadelphia Record.


The narrowing holiday question of what
to give" is again the problem that vexes
the feminine soul, the difficulty of which
IS Increased rather than diminished by the
embarra ssment of riches in the way of
pretty things displayed in the shops. The
first thing to be considered in the selection
OF Christmas gift is fitness. What would
be an ideal present for one person would
be q mockery to another, as, for instance,
books to the book lover, or books to that
unfortunate being who does not care for
isn't even the beauty of a gift that must
be first considered; 1t is the need Of the
recipient Let me see, then, if we cannot
suggest a few hints to Christmas shoppers
Don't, first of all, give your poor rela-
tons something painfully utilitarian; don't
give pretty young cousin, whose soul
ticoat. Her mother will doubtless see that
she has that useful article of raiment Give
her instead a pretty soft chiffon boa or
mock jewel buckle, or q silver-mounted
card case; give her, in a word, something
that it would be gross extravaganza for
her to buy herself, but which she being
young and fair, would naturally long for
And give her mother some housekeep-
ing luxury, not necessity. A fine damask
table cloth and set Of servietteS such as
you yourself use, would delight her souI.
or a set of tambour curtains for the family
sitting room, or a portiere or a table COW
err; something, to be brief. that will heau-
tify the home and make the little house
keeper glad and grateful. If you have a
relative in the far West, or one who dwells
all the year round in the country a s,,h1
scription to a good magazine or a weekly
illustrated paper would be sure to he 40
ceptable. as would also a new book which
is talked of, or an old one in a fine new
edition.
Fer the man of the family a woman usu-
ally feels that she must select Something
which he can carry in his pocket or wear
on his feet, consequently the poor things
are usually deluged with cigar cutters
match boxes, card cases, penkEives or slim
perS-all of which they secretly despise as
the feminine ideal of such trifies is usually
something so frail that it is not in the least
useful Give the head of the house instead
a good reading lamp, and, last of ali let
him place 1t where he pleases; or give him
a big down cushion, which the down can't
get through, and if he feels so disposed
let him use 1t for his feet instead Of his
head; or give him a substantial brass paper
cutter, which he can use as sort of ba-
ton when ne wakes eloquent of an even
ing or give him an ice pail-men always
call for ice-and have Ii filled and placed
near him every night at dinner; or give
him anything you have heard him express
a wish for and then let him do as he
pleases with it, and, above all things. see
that the bill is not sent in to him before
Christmas as even the best-intentioned
husband cannot express the proper amount
Of surprise and pleasure over a gift for
which he has sent chnrk In payment the
previous day.

Cheap Cab Fares.
Post.

washington FoSt.
ITO my way of thinking no class of men
in { world are so given to standing In
tn own light as the cabbies and hackmen
of our big cities" said Mr.. G. G. Pope, OF
Boston at the Normandie.
'If they had the least bit Of wit they
would emulate the example of their Lon
don brethren and inaugurate system OF
cheap ores such as prevails in the English
me s. There you can go two miles
for ling and for an extra sixpence be
dr. IS far again. In our cities at least
81 I'D be charged for like service, and
this high tariff is the cause of so many
people using the street cars or INDUCING in
Professionalism. The London cabby gets.
enough out of his moderate fees to keep
his vehicle and horse in prime condition.
There are at least 20, 600 hanson cabs there,
and they never suffer for lack of patron
age.
''There are thousands of people Of moder-
ate means in this country who wouldn't
mind paying rs cents for ride, but win
not stand charge in excess of that sum.
Everything else in the country is on a
cheap basis, but the jehus stupidity insist
on prices that prevailed when money was
abundant. That is the reason one sees so
many disreputable looking cOnveyances and
horses that look like scarecrows Cheaper
service would mean an increase of business
to the fraternity that would more than
make up for the reduction OF rates. but
they are too thick-headed to catch the
idea"

slips of steel kissed the rifle muzzles, and
'click" as every locking ring" came
around. Then whether from the British
ranks or from the Egyptian sentry who was
awake is not known, came the bang" of
a single rifle. Before the sound had died
away the bugles blew the charge There
were blazing the way with wild melody.
The Highland Brigade was into battle
again. Across the strip of land went the
silent, flying killed figures They hesitated
at the brink of the trenches. Imagine
street, torn up for its entire width to
depth of eight or nine feet with the earth
side. That was what stopped the rush and
the piping for a moment. The Forty-second
Highlanders, the famous Black Watch,
were the first to reach 1t.
Down into the hole went the piper. From
the heap on the other side the rifles were
blazing and cracking all along the line. One
as a groom lifts a man to horseback, and
he was on the slope. With the bullets
dipping" to his ears and the flash from the
rifles paling in the dawn he calmly clam
bered up the steep embankment tuning his
pipes. Already the screams or dying men
were mingling with the music. Already he
heard the rush and clatter men and their
accoutrements fell back, shriel-ing, into the
ditch But he stood there his back to the
enemy, and played and blew with might
and main. The dirty, helmetless, swearing,
sweating men in kits swept past him. They
bayoneted the sleepy gunners, The din In
creased until the wild triumph of the piper
blended in the cheer as the. Highlanders,
reforming somewhat drove the enemy be-
fore them. And by the time the cavalry
supports were cutting and slashing among
the fugitives and Arab crushed and
broken, was gailoping toward Cairo. the
pipes had done their work. The Highland
ers had fought one more battle ito their
own music and another piper had earned
the Victoria Cross.
That was the last time, until the Dargai
ridge was carried. on which the Highland
piper had chance to lead his men. De
Neuville, the famous French battle painter,
has put "Tel- EI- Kebir' on canvas. He
shows the Highlanders swarming over the
blowing away with all his skill, he has
painted the piper of the Forty-second High
landers showing his contempt for the
enemy by turning his back on them.

nished in heavy carved oak, the sideboard
having been brought by him from Paris;
on this he has two rare pieces of china
which are claimed to have been at one

characteristic of the furniture throughout
the house is the absence of all that is
gaudy, fragile or over-Ornamental His
tastes have led him to acquire a most in

His library is his special pride, and it con-
tains works of great value, including the
first editions of Thackeray. Dickens,
Charles Lamb and Leigh Hunt. 1t is said
by many of De Angelis's close acquaint-
ances that he has one of the largest and
most select libraries of any actor
