In two octave volumes Mr.. JOHN HUTCHINSON

& Shepard) This is, OF course. tho record of
tho family which, in tho second third of this
century, rendered such valuable service to the
anti-savery cause by singing in the concert field
and preaching on the platform. In an introduc.
tion Frederick Douglass recalls that all aboli.

Tho latest and one OF the most valuable con-
tributions to the series entitled " Ten Epochs of
Church History" 10 The Age Of Chdrlemdgne,
by CHARLES L. WELLS, Professor of History In
tho University Of Minnesota (The Christian
Literature co.,. This is no compilation of the
opinions Of other students. On the contrary It
embodies the results of first hand vcstgation
of the original sources. The author, indeed, has
frequently allowed the primary authorities to
speak for themselves not only In order to be
more accurate. but with the purpose of gaining
thereby greater vividness and realism. Too
little is generally known regarding the times
of Charles the Great, and DR.. Wells has. there
fore. laid us under obligations by essaying
to bring into clearer light some of the more
obscure though most important features OF the
period. and to show the deeper relations which
underlay the chief events of the history of the
Church and its connections with political his
tory. Many of the other volumes in this series
have had to do with the East, where. of course,
Christianity had It's origin. For three or four
centuries the documents and the oral exposi-
tions Of Christianity. the formulas of its faith,
tho theological discussions and the decisions
Of councils were all couched In Greek;
even the Church OF Rome and most of the
churches Of the West were. at first, Greek
religious colonies. 1t is when wo come to the
age OF Charles the Great that the scene changes
definitely to the West, and we are called upon
to witness the transmission of tho most precious
possessions of the Roman Empire its law, its
language. its civilization and its ideals to new
peoples. to wit: the German tribes, under the
leadership of the Franks We are called to
watch the development of Latin Christianity;
the upbuildng of great Latin Church. and the
foundations laid of tho middle ages and of
modern times.

We have said that tho period with which the
name Of Charlemagne Is associated was already
well advanced before he acquired the powor to
act Independently. Lot US sec what his father,
Pepin, or Pippin had accomplished. In the first
place. tho Church had been established in an or
ganized and systematic form under abbots Bish-
ops. and Metropoltans throughout tho Frankish
kingdom; heathenism had been gradually. but
surely. eliminated within its borders, while mis-
sions had been extended and missionaries placed
under royal protection among peoples not yot
converted to Christianity; finally, the Papacy
had been constituted at Rome q spiritual and
temporal sovereignty under the pretectorate of
new line Of Frankish Kings. Tho FrankIsh
monarchy itself had been consolidated, and its
principal parts. Australia, Neustria, and last
to be annexed, Aquitania. had been united
under one head; the peoples on its borders, the
Saxons. Bavarians, Lombards, and saracens,
had been either reduced to submission or con-
fined within fixed bounds which, on tho south,
were the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees.
There is much uncertainty as to the division of
the kingdom which WAS made at Pepin . death.
DR.. Wells while quoting in a footnote three
authorities, is inclined to believe that the three
parts Of the kingdom. Austrasia. Neustria, and
Aquitania. together with the newly conquered
territories on the east, were divided in such q
way that each King should have a part of each,

What Is meant by the age of Charlemagne \
One means, of course. by such n phase not a
period TINT was co-terminous with one man
lifetime but one that began before It, and
reached elimination in 1t. or may even have
attained the crisis of its development after
he was dead. We attach a mans name to an
age when we can soc that some one great per.
sonality dominates, or at least guides and moulds
the development Of n long period in history;
preceding years or centuries seem to have
prepared for his coming. and succeeding
ones are filled with his spirit and with
the influences OF forces which he set in
motion. Thus donned. the age of this man,
who was SO truly great that greatness is incor-
porated In his nanio, lay between the two dark
est centuries namely, the seventh and tho
tenth, which were. respectively. the results of
the earlier and OF the later barbarian invasions.
With the eleventh century. the age Of Charles
the Great comes to an end. and a new period be.
gins. which. from Its principal figure. is named
the Hildcbrandinc era. 1t was in tho interval
between the seventh and the tenth century that
various Teutonic tribes and kingdoms were
brought under the rule OF one controlling poo
pie. to wit: the Franks: that new race of
kings, stronger than the Mcrovngian. arose
from ancestors who had fought for unity and
won 1t. who had driven back tho flood OF Mo-
hammedan invasion and thus saved Europe TO
Christianity and Aryan civilization. ana who,
by subduing savage barbRrism in eastern and
northern Germany, made possible tho spread
OF Christianity to the middle Danube and
tho boundaries of the Northern Sea. As
trustees for the modern world. tho Franks
had received the treasures OF Roman civili.

cd new empire. in which the peoples of
the West might realize their common origin
and relationship, and comprehend the rosponsi.
bilities and hopes awaiting them in tho future.
1t 10 true that the vision OF Charles the Great
was realized for less than half a century; that
the central power continued to be central in
name rather than in fact, and that 1t was left
for feudaliSm TO preserve all that was strsne
and precious, 10 protect it from tho dsinteGra-
ting forces OF barbarian invasion, and, finally
TO hand II over to the monarchies of the lter

The blockade of Havana.

The indications that food supplies have
been sent to havana from points outside of
Cuba do not necessarily imply that our
blockade has been broken, because there
are ports beyond the specified limo where
ships might creep In and discharge their
cargoes, thence to be carried to the capital
by rail. Still, with thew withdrawal from the
blockading feet first Of Admiral SIMPSONS
ships for service at Santiago and Caima-
nera, and then Of other vessels to serve in
the expedition Of SHAFTER's corps, IL would
not be strange IL some vessels loaded with
provisions should occasionally cross the
~blockaded area itself.
During the civil war, in spite of our
numerous war vessels lining the Southern
coasts. blockade runners slipped into Con-
federate ports, tho high rewards for sue
cess stimulating great risks. The Bahamas
were a great centre for such expeditions,
and Cuba is not only close by those islands,
but In the neighborhood of others, such
as Jamaica, from which blockade runners
could easily start. The case of the Puris-
ina Conception and Benito Estangar,
which changed their flags from Spanish
to English, the former when loading at
Kingston with such supplies as -four, rice,
and corn, with which she started for Cuba,
shows what we must expect elsewhere.
OF course, no protest was made by our
Government against the departure of tho
Purlsima Conception from Jamaica, even
when it was suspected that her destination
was a blockaded port. We admit the right
to carry provisions to q belligerent, and are
satisfied with our own right to capture ves-
sells that attempt to run the blockade. On
the other hand, occasional success In run
ming the blockade will not render it legally
ineffective. We still make 1t "dif1cult
and dangerous" to run the gauntlet of
our ships, and this is all that is
required. 1t is not necessary for an effec-
tive blockade, within the meaning Of inter
national law, to seal up a coast or harbor
so that 1t cannot possibly be entered under
favoring circumstances. Outside of Spain
the a~ctuality Of our blockade has not yet
been called in question, and with the re.
turn Of some ships from Santiago and the
sending down Of others, like the Newark,
from the North, we shall henceforth make
the blockade stronger. Meanwhile there is
evidence going to show that food supplies
for Havana have not run the blockade of
its harbor. although they may have been
landed at Batabano or elsewhere on the
south coast of Cuba.

Montenegro.

Prince NICHOLAS of Montenegro is a
comparatively obscure %potentate, but big
events have more than once had their
origin in his little principality of the
Black Mountain on the borders of the
Adriatic. The last Russo Turkish war
was preceded by a severe struggle between
the mountainecrs and Turkey, from which
Montenegro emerged with it's independ.
ence universally recognized and its terri
tory enlarged. The Turkish relics of the
contest are yet to be found amid the defles
of the Moratscha. Once more the fight for

stations of our own, seeing that we could
always avail ourselves of Great Britain's.
The answer to this assertion Is, frat,
that in the waters OF China and Indo.
China there are but three British naval
stations, namely, at Singapore, Hong Kong,
and Wei Hal Wei; secondly, that under the
stress Of war England might lose one or
more of her naval stations, as she has lost
them before; thirdly, that no ono can
assure us that amid the shifting Of inter.
national relations we might not one day
have to rely on some other ally than Great
Britain; and, lastly, that It does not be.
come a great maritime power, such as we
have become or shall become, to depend for
the coal supply of It's warships upon the
friendship Of any other nation.

Bridge ConmIsnioner Shea Wants e Have
Thorn Increased Considerably.
Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea expects
to have a conference soon with President IThl-
mann of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad with
a view to a Encouragement of tho tolls which the
road is to pay for the privilege of operating its
cars on the bridge. In accordance with tho
contract entered into with the old Board Of
Trustees the road pays only 12h cents for each
car. M. Shea regards this toll as too low and
he means to demand an addition of 2x cents q
car and also have the railroad company supply
the power and man its own trains while cross
ing tho structure. Mr.. Shea said last night
chat the negotiations with the railroad company
were still pending, but that he expected tho
controversy would soon be settled satisfactorily.
He declared that he would not be satisfied wi tn
any arrangement which did not give q financial
0aid. would.causca large deficit.
The elevated road managers are we'll pleaaed
with the traffic on the bridge since the opening
on Saturday. So far tho Fifth avenue limo is
the Snly ono which has been operated, but on
the Brooklyn side the passengers can bo trans-
ferred to the other lines. At 8 p. M. yesterday
the Roadway was reduced from ten to six min
utes. and when the Lexington avenue and
Myrtle avenue lines are running a train will
cross the bridge every three minutes. MI. Uhl-
mann estimates that on the single limo Is, 600
passengers were carried on Saturday and a ike
number yesterday.
