an overwhelming wave of emotion The

geous golden vestments and wearing a
Iresplendent gold tiara, headed the pro-

prayers in unison. A moment later the
Metropolitan, in a loud voice, prayed
with up-lifted eyes for those who had
gone to defend the national honor and
fight for the glory of the cross" All
heads were barred, and all eyes We're
streaming with tears as the Metropoli-

Metropolitan returned to the Cathedral
where a solemn mass was celebrated
and all those who took part in the pro-
cessiOns proceeded either to the church
or to the Cathedral to take part in the
religious services. The King and Queen

GRAY LOST HIS SEVEN GENTS.

GordIano's Slot ALachine Worked for Him but
wouldn't in Court, and Gordiano Got on.
In the ferror of the campaign against saloon
keepers Policeman Gray Of the East 1o4th street
station visited Frank Gordiano's saloon at $50
East Hath street on Saturday night and squan-
dered seven cents in a reckless attempt to win
some cigars at dice. He showed the coins into q
slot machine and the dice ratified merrily under
aglass cover, but always to the advantage Of tho
saloon keeper.
Gray arrested Gordiano and yesterday morn
ing arraigned him In Harlem Court, and 40
cused him OF maintaining q gambling device.
The slot machine was exhibited as evidence.
Gordiano denied the charge. He said he found
the machine there when he bought the saloon in
cipally to scratch matches on.
"Why, 1t won't work, 1--WE he said.
ut took all the pennies / cared to shove into
II, and worked all right for you" said Gray.
Let's SEQ II IL will work for me" said Magis-
trate Cornell, and he fshed out a cent.
"II turn 1t, said Gray.
Magistrate Cornell showed the coin half way
into the slot, aud could get It no further. Gray
tried his host TO turn the crank. but the machine
obstinately refused TO work.
IL guess the prisoner is right and the machine
ie broken" Magistrate Cornell said. He liz
charged Gordiano and replaced his coin in his
pocket.
The peryerse machine was sent to the property
clerk. and there was that much balm for the
officers injured feelings, but he did not get his
seven cents back.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 6.-Tho Mobile and
Ohio Railroad is building a line from Meridian.
Miss. to Montgomery. 1t will be an active COM
petitor of the Louisville and Nashville. The
Western Railroad to Atlanta is a close ally of
the Louisville and Nashville, and the Plant
system to Savannah is friendly to the Mobile
and Ohio. Tho Mobile and Ohio Company re-
Gently secured very desirable terminal facilities
here and q right Of way to them. Last week
the Western Railroad put two hundred
men at work laying q track on the
Mobile and Ohio right of way. They were Or
dered to desist, but refused. and an injunction.
backed by police and constables, stopped them
after most of the track was down. On Friday
night, under cover OF darkness. the Mobile and
Ohio laid q track alongside of the Westerns.
Their men were stopped by an Injunction Sc
cured by the Western Company. The Louisville
and Nashville then undertook to complete the
Westerns track, and its men were entoined;
Yesterday the Western enjoined the Mobile and
Ohio from crossing its tracks at any point,
which. II sustained, would prevent the new road
from entering the city.
There have been many threats on each side to
tear up the tracks. and a force OF police has been
kept in the disputed territory to prevent trouble.
Engines have also been kept moving over tho

TO ASCEND A B ROCK.
PRoE. LIBBY PLANNING TO USE SOME
OF EDDH'S KITES.

Ground for Heller That the Wow Inaccessible
Rock wac Once Inhabited by . Tribe OF the
CiiT.DweiIing Race-Pottery said 20 Have
Fallen from Its BdEo to the Plain seiow.
Accompanied by q couple Of friends. Prof.
William Libby, Jr., OF Princeton University,
visited Bayonne on Saturday afternoon to con-
suit with William A. Eddy, tho expert kite hysN,
concerning the use OF the Eddy tailless kites in q
unique exploring expedition he and a party OF
six expect to undertake. Tho party expects to
leave this city during the FIRST week In July for
Albuquerque. New Mexico, in the vicinity Of
which rises from the alkali plains TO a height OF
more than seven hundred feet a mesa or table,
land of sandstone. Tho top OF this has never
been explored by white mon, because the almost
perpendicular walls mako Its summit inaccessi-
BILE TO even tho most experienced mountain
climbers.
For students Of anthropology this lonely table
land possesses particular interest, because of o
belief that II was once the homo OF q cliff
dwelling race. This belief Is founded upon the
fact that the slow effects Of heat and cold on tho
mesa has caused articles Of pottery, similar to
those known to have been made and used BY the
cliff jewellers, to fall to the plain below.
Prot, Libby and his party intend e cxpaoTo
ful V or are 80 Convinced y that their %endcayors are
deyices to accomplish their purpose. Prof.
Libby's first idea was to take o mortar with the
expedition, and by adopting the, methods used
by tho life-savinR department shoot o line en-
tirely over the mesa at its, narrowest part TIL
idea is considered practical, inasmuch a. the
tableland Ii shaped somewhat like q figure 8,
and 10 only q few rods wide at tho t~uncture or
the two sections.
Recently Prof. Libby became impressed with
the utility Of Mr.. Eddy's kites. and his visit to
Bayonne was for the purpose Of learning person;
ally something Of the kites and their powers OF
lifting lines above high obstacles. The wind was
too light for Mr.. Eddy to demonstrate the cepa-
assistance OF Henry Allen and Or. William q.
Mitchell he managed to send aloft In O company
tive calm three Big kites, and to satisfy Prof.
Libby that the kite method will be we'll worth
trying.
Prof. Libby will have tho material fol. Q dozen
OF Mr.. Eddy's kites prepared. They will DO con
structed for use In tho extremely light winds
prevalent in the vicinity Of the lone tableland.
He will ship tho material. with q mortar. cables
and other equipments, for tho expedition. III
cable can DO successfully hauled over the mSsa,s

President Taylor Speaks on the Difference he
tween Raaicaiism ana Conservatism.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, Juno 6.-The Rev. James
Monroe Taylor. President Of Vassar College. In
his baccalaureate sermon this morning, spoke to
the students Of tho difference between radical
ism and conservatism.
"Radicalism," said DR.. Taylor. " may root IT.
self in a healthy regard for the past, conserve
tism will reach out to the future and still cling
BEAUTIFULLY to the past. Our age. changeful
radical in its tendencies, calls for restraint
rather than for radicalism. Scarcely Ii there .
thing sacred that has not been questioned during
the past twenty years.
THE State, marriage, home. religion, all these
have been attacked in EXTREMIST reformR- Away
| with tho old has been the cry. Nothing new La
offered, but away with the old; the old in politics,
the old in the church. These EXTREMIST radical
tendencies have been developed and spread far
and wide by tho press and the magazines, who
do not study problems deeply. It Ii therefore
tho duty Of educated men and women to conttn.
ually work for a healthful conservatism.
Every four years We hear men say the ooun-
try is in danger, and only tho victory Of their
own side can save It. A historic sense La all
that Ii necessary to save us from such an abb
eurd notion that one-half tho people win run
away from the other half. or seek 70 destroy or
terested., with this sense we would suffer les.
from active reformers, who promise all sorts of
reforms in a few years"
DR.. Taylor defined sensationalism as a tickling
which saps and debases the moral life. "Tho
pulpit" he said, has gone 30 far into sensa:
for the show than for the pulpit. The press has
so yielded to this sensationalism that It has DO
como widespread vulgarity. Private life has
ceased to be. Men and women have turned their
faces against this impertinencc Of the press and
Of society. Partly from fear Of the reporter,
partly from silly vanity the privacies Of homes
are printed from day to day. 1t is simply vul'
. The literature OF passion was denounced by
DR.. Taylor; also the spirit Of criticism, which
says: Evil to him yh9 evil thinks This no
can be touched by tho pitch Of sensualism and
not be injured. In, closing DR.. Taylor asked II
Ii so tho republic will suffer. No country can
raise above the level Of the homo.
