with the death Of the reminiscent man for a
tragic climax. An audience at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Theatre yesterday afternoon heard tho
dialogue and monologue of Mr.. Mitchelrs

whimsical host and William Seymour as the

TORONTO, Ontario, Oct. 2s.-Prof. Goldwin

the question Of social purity raised by the pro-

Diseases act to the Indian army. says tho ques-
ton is sad and repulsiyc, but the matter seems
to stand thus:
las the world Is and Is likely for many a year
to be, you must have a standing army, and the
bulk at least Of the men in that army must be
unmarried. This is particularly the case with
the British Army, since 1t would be utterly Inn
practicable to send thousands OF families to India
md all over the globe" He directs attention
to tho consequences of enforced celibacy among
n great body of men of the age in which passion 10
strongest, especially in India. where the soldier
lutciy removed from social opinion and the in.
fnences OF home" and adds that " the practical
question seems to be whether you will so far
waive tho principle Of social purity, under tho
pressure of Il dire necessity, as to recognize
those consequences and try to minimize them.
or allow tho ravages OF a widespread disease to
be added to the sexual irreRularity and extend
to innocent children. 1t would surely be better
to attack tho cause than the consequence and
to aEitate for the reduction of the standing
armies. Meanwhile there can he no doubt thai
the intentions OF the Indian Government and
the army authoritics, are, perfectly moral, as
well as humane. They best understand the
question:. and it seems wisest to leave 1t in their
hands. The subject, though OF painful interest,
