LATE Oakley HALLS REPLY
To n Scurrilous Attack Made by a Re.
liEiOus Nigot.

Ex-Mayor A. Oakley Hall, of New
York, who died recently, was a convert
to the Catholic faith. His conversion
made him the victim of scurrilous at
tacks by mail and in print. Not long
since he received postal card which
read:
well, how do you like Popery so far
as your have gone? The Spaniards put
themselves under the protection of the
virgin. United States, of God Which
side shoots the best? Your Spanish
brothers blind folded noble horse ON
Sunday and let bull tear it's entrais
out to amuse them. Does that amuse
you? If so keep on at Mariolatry, Romish
puerility, tyranny and savagery"
The card was unsigned, but he recog-
nized the hand as similar to that of a
note received from an Episcopalian ex-
clergyman, and he mailed to his coward
ly correspondent the following reply:
Monsieur Thorpe-I'o your unkind pos
tai card 1 can only send you an echo
from Calvary-"Father, forgive them for
they know not what they do" You are
ignorant. You do not know that holy
church forbids bull fights and frowns
upon those who participate In them.
Also you do not know that the Spanish
government is not affiliated with the
church as is the English government
with it's Protestant church. In Tie An
glican church in which you once ofiiciat-
ed and in all the Protestant sects the
word Mariolatry is used as a sneer to the
veneration paid to the virgin mother Of
Christ by the Holy Catholic Roman
Apostolic church and as found in pas
sages in the new testament. Only big
Otry could use the sncer word "Mariol-
atry," for if by the command on Meant
Sinai man is to honor his own mother,
how much deeper should be his honor
to the mother of his Redeemer
"You also sneeringly ask how | like
my faith so far as you have gomez"
You will find my answer at the fourth
verse of tho epistle of Philemon. And
take leave of you by suggesting that
thou obeyest the injunction contained in
the second chapter of Proverbs reading
"apply thy heart to understanding"

for those pin-headed enough to believe

ratholic priesthood which should cop

creed: They are invariably men Of sound

ground up, not seeking advertisement
and giving their lives uncomplainingly

BOsTON's OPINION OF CARMEN -

BOSTON'S OPINION OF CARMEN" Z"
The Boston Daily Advertiser, one OF
the most conservative journals in the
country, has this to say of Miss Rosa
bel MOrrisOn's production of Car
men," which was given its first per-
toTmance in the Club" 'The genera!
scheme of the play naturally follows
somewhat the opera, and lavish use
was made of Bizet's music. There is
in the character of Carmen" as 1t has
been sung, a magnetic fascination for
the public, of which 1t will probably
not tire for many years, and the lead
ing impersonation has been that OF
Madam Emma Calve. For an actress
who has never seen Mime. Calve to In
vest her performance with so much of
the essence of the accepted character Ia
certainly an achievement, and the au-
dience accepted it as such. The group
ings and melo-dramatic scenes were
handled with such adroitness. and the
production and scenery were excellent. "

THE BATTLEsHTP O,HTGGINs.

A great deal Of interest has been
aroused among persons Who are not ia
miliar with Chilean history by the
name Of the Chilean battleship Ouiig-
gins. the finest fighting vessel now
available for purchase by the United
States. Spain or any other country de-
string to thus increase it's navy. It has
been reported that both this country
and Spain have been negotiating for
the purchase of the ship, but Chile Is
not anxious to sell, as she expects trOu-
BILE with Argentina.
Bernardo OHiggins, the Chilean
hero after whom the battleship is
named led theChilean forces during the
wears i'm which the country fought for
and won independence from Spain. He
was president and dictator from 1916
until 1923.
O'Higgins was the son of AmbrOsiO
O'Higgins, Marquis de Osorno, a poor
Ir.shman, who went to South America
to become priest, but after a varied
career finally rose to be president of
Chile under Spanish domination and
also became viceroy Of Peru.
The son organized a regiment as
soon as the insurgents declared indie
pendence in Chile, in 1910, His selec-
tlOn as head Of the army was made by
a junta opposed 10 Carrera as dictator,
but he demonstrated his bravery and

To ne the Greatest Lutheran City in
the World After January 4,

To he the Greatest Lutheran City I'm
the World After January 4,
Inlthe presenticity of New York the
three religious denominations most
largely represented in the population
are the Roman Catholic, the Presby-
terian and the Methodist. There are
50 Catholic churches in New York city,
IS Presbyterian churches and 6s Meth
odist churches. The number of
churches of a religious denomination
IS not. however, of itself guide to the
church membership, for there are s5
Episcopal churches in New York,
though the number of Eplscopalians is
materially less than the number Of
PresbyteHans. The explanation Of such
disparities is found in the fact that,
as a general rule, Presbyterian churches
are larger and more generally attended
than Episcopal churches, and the Ro-
man Catholic churches are filled not
once or twice on Sunday, but as oftea
as half a,dozen times in many cases.
There are 81 Lutheran churches in
the citypof New York, but in Brooklyn,
with a poulation half as great, there
are SO Lutheran churches. The German
Lutheran population in Brooklyn is
larger than it is in New York, and,
moreover Brooklyn has a very large
Scandinavian population, almost ex-
clusiTelymade up Of Lutherans. After
January 1, It is claimed, New York will
be the greatest Lutheran city In the
world, with es churches, $4,000 Sunday
school members, and church property
to the value of s3,OOo,OOO, exclusive OF
Staten Island, which has four Lutheran
churches and 41O Sunday school mem
bers, and Of the five Lutheran churches
in the portion Of Queens county which
