little affairs add formallty to a gown

They should be worn closed that they

In q recent conference in Chicago
Rev. Mr.. Fem objected to the notion
aef presenting Jesus as an infallible
model Of manhood. He suggested sew
eral respects In which the modern ideal
of manhood differed from the example
and precept Of Jesus. But the most
interesting thing about the discussion
was the defense of Jesus made by Rab-
bi Stolz, who insisted chat Jesus must
be Judged in accordance with the stan
dards of His people and His time. In
this light Jesus must be regarded as
more extraordinary, and more nearly
an ideal man than from the standpoint
Of America to-day. The spectacle Of a
lew defending the character Of Jesus
against a nominally Christian critic is
certainly worthy of note.

1t seems that the additional tax Of
dollar barrel on malt liquors had
come at rather inopportune time for
the brewers. According to statistics
presented at the recent annual conven-
ton of the brewers of the United States
there has been a marked decrease in
the consumption Of beer for the year
closing with June. In fact, the con-
sumption was 1,4OS,OOO barrels less than
for the preceding year. This was all
the more discouraging because there
had been an average reduction of dol
lar q barrel in price during the past
year, so that, according to this official
authority, the dollar now added on ac-
count of the new tax will put the price
per barrel back where it was a year
ago.

Horace Greeley as an Orator.

Mr.. Greeley was not an orator in any
scholastic sense. He had a poor and
somewhat squeaking voice, he knew
nothing Of gestures, and he could not
take an orators pose, which adds such
emphasis sometimes to the matter and
argument to be set forth. Not all his
years of practice en- the platform and on
public occasions ever changed his habits
and methods as u speaker, and he ended
as poorly equipped IN the respects NAM
ed for the vocation as when he began.
But he had one prime quality, without
which all the others are exploited il
vain. He invariably had something to
say, and he said it in such clear and
wholesome English with such sincerity
that he was an orator in spite of all the
rules.
To state it briefly, of all the eminent
speakers / have introduced-and more
than Once-there was not one who gave
better satisfaction, different and notable
as they were, than Horace Greeley. As
consequence, he came to me oftenest
AID wore the best. We might or might
not agree with some of his peculiar
premises, as when he says, 1.-THE mo-
ment drop Of alcohol is received into
the human stomach that moment the
stomach recognizes deadly enemy"

APT. WILLIAM L. SIMPSONS

CAPT, WILLIAM L. SIMPSONS squad
ron is one of the most formidab BILE
fleets ever gathered together in any
waters. 1t represents the stilfest
fighting material that modern naval
architecture and the science of the
new gunnery can construct. 1t is
composed of some of the biggest and
most effective Of the war ships in the
navy. and can be surpassed
by no nation in the world for the
fighting devices with which it is
equipped. Without going into de
tailed description of the ships that
Capt. Sampson has under his control
it may he said that they are all capa-
bic of doing such destruction as the
mind reels from when one tries to
picture it. Capt. Sampson can. by Il
simple signal, turn loose upon Ha-
vana's fortress a storm of projectiles
calculated to reduce old Morro's pom
derous walls to heap of ruins.
Steel proiectiles 1000 pounds in
weight can be hurled from 13-inch
guns. Every such discharge costs
the United States matter of 800
per gun. Every 13-inch Gun ut every
discharge gives pressure of two and
one-fourth tons to the square inch on
the protected deck. Sampson S
squadron represents power worthy
of the mighty nation whose standard
it carries into the seas of the enemy.
Commanding these boats are some of
the ablest sea fighters in the Ameri-
can navy. Officers and men alike are
rs eager for action as the memory of
their dead compatriots in Havana
harbor can make them. From Capt.
Sampson and Fighting Bob" Evans
down every man-lack in the fleet is
anxious for work.
