They urge the need Of a Hapsburg heir,

result should the throne OF Austria be left
vacant at the death of Franz Josef.
But should the emperor, after the proper
time of mourning, choose to take unto him
self another wife. who would be available?
Certainly an alliance with an English
princess would gladden. the English heart,
as Austria Is further from England In its
royal family connections than any other

But Franz Josef is decidedly more partial

their relations are very close. During the
recent war they were In daily correspond

moments notice to fly TO the Austrian
court in case of Carist rebellion. But
It is not generally known that the queen
regent of Spain has beautiful daughter,
the Princess Mercedes.
The girl Is but eighteen years old; she
has most lovable disposition. and Is a
most graceful and charming princess.
Her father, Alphonso II, married her
mother when he had a broken heart His

GEORGE DEwEY's REMARKS.
What He Said and What The Sisual
Book Reported.

Several weeks after the memorable battle
between the two fleets correspondent for
a Chicago newspaper. for whom Admiral
dewey had shown q warm liking, visited
the flagship.
Admiral. wish you would ten me what
you said during the fighting on the morn
ing you entered the BAY" said the cor
respondent. Nearly all great naval bat
ties have brought out some utterance from
the victorious commander which has be-
come historical, and would like to know
what you said that can be preserved IN"
why, John, can't for the life OF me
remember what I said during the fight"
the admira said. knitting his brows
thoughtfully. II was so busy, you know,
that 1 paid no attention to anything ex.
cept the fleet
Try and think what you said" urged
the correspondent. II believe there Is a
good story in the fight that has never been
told"
Admiral Dewey thought long and earn
estly, not that he had any desire to glor-
Try himself. but simply because he wanted
to oblige the correspondent. Finally the
correspondent suggested that the admit
rails stan officers might recall something
OF value as a historical utterance. The
Idea was at once acted upon by the ad-
mral. and he told his orderly to call the
Officers. They presented themselves, two
young flag lieutenants. who have the most
profound admiration for their commander
that can be imagined.
MI. Scott, can you think Of anything
! said during the fighting?' said Admiral
Dewey. addressing the junior officer
John wants story, and Ia like TO help
him out. / don't remember saying any
thing worth repeating. do you?'
Il hope you will excuse me for repeating
1t, SIR" said the young officer. a faint
twinkle showing in his eyes.
Go on, Mr.. Scott" remarked Admiral
Dewey. IF you can give John a story 1
will thank you for it,
We'll. sir. do you remember when we
were turning the second time on the figure
that you noticed the Baltimore was go
Ing further away than had been ordered?'
Yes, / remember lat very well" re-
piled Admiral Dewey.
well, sir, do you remember what yo,,
said as soon as you noticed the position
Of the Baltimore"
mo. I have forgot everything about
that except ordering signal Of some kind
to be displayed for the Baltimore. What
did say?'
You said: What's the matter with the
blankety BANKED man? Is the blanked
blank a blank coward? Tell the blankety
blank Baltimore to close up. Blank him
tell him to close up!'"
Admiral Dewey looked across the bay
toward the city Of Manila moment, and
f1ecked the ashes from his cigar. The
young officers knees were beginning to
tremble. and the correspondent was begin
ming to wish he had not been SO persistent
in his search for historical utterance,
when their suspense was broken by the ad-
miral turning with quiet smile and say
ing:
LET'S look at she signal book for that
morning. That will tell what I said"

am willing to indorse his comments
on Spain, but Spain is not repre-
sentative of progressive religious teach
ers who stand for Christianity today.
1t is simply absurd to make SpaniardS

yellow fever reference. l have to say
that Il Is a filth disease. Its presence
Is a rebuke to human skill and is in
dicative of the violation Of the laws
of cleanliness and health. 1t Is nature
indicating an attempted violation OF
her law. In that sense we can thank
God for yellow fever because We are
then led TO remove the causes that
made the fever possible. We can
thank God for every pain and i'll which

pleasure enfeebles and degrades, con-
sequently those in heaven should shrink
and shrink. Here again he is illogical
The pleasure that Ingersoll speaks of is
OF the body, while the pleasures Of
heaven are holy and elevating.
Rev. +. Hamlin CMethodist)-In my opin-
ion Ingersoll's infiuence-what little he
has-is on the wane. All his arguments
are easily refuted. I do not care TO dis
cuss him, as my words would only be
an advertisement for him Barring So
phistry and inaccuracy of statement, In
gersoll leaves nothing Tor a Christian
minister or a Christian thinker to an
swer.
Rev. j. w. Campbell Ndethodsst)-The
devil does exist. II there Is not foun-
tain head. where does sin emanate
from? Ingersoll Is unfair In the treat
ment OF the case from beginning TO end.
The late Bishop e. o. Haven challenged
him to a public debate, which he re-
fused.
Rev. +. j. Belcher Observation-Disclosures
In many respects Is like Voltaire. He
does not attack the essence Of religion.
He does not attack the real, vital, godly
faith. This country Is orthodox. There
is no danger Of Ingersoll leading Chris
tians astray.
Rev. DIR. w. ID. Buchanan presbyterian
1t Is scarcely worth wasting time in
answering the arguments of man
whose every utterance impresses men
with his insincerity. whose every argu-
ment is specious, and who simply
spends his time In ringing the changes
upon arguments that are SO old that
they have been answered over and over
again for hundreds of years.

Rev. Robert .. MacAPthur-Very many
Christians do not believe in a personal
devil and are Christians still. They hold
that the references in the New Tesla
ment to a devil are simply personiiica-
tons of evil, and do not apply to any
personal existence. 1t would De easy
for me to give the names OF a number
of pastors who hold such views. The
fact Is Colonel Ingersoll puts UP a man
of straw and then vigorously beats him

Christianity. i do not hesitate to say
that Col. ingersou IL tar behind the
religious thinking OF the hour. II is a
thousand pities that Colonel IDserson

then save himself from the ludicrous
position In which he is placed. and
would avoid the unfairness Of putting
into the minds Of representative think
ers of today the opinions of medieval
monks--opinions which leading religious
teachers of today long ago discarded.

that he has not kept UP with the pro-
