ADVISES THE CLERGY.
Bishop Paret COunsels Ministers
Against Preaching Politics.

Fearing that some of the cIergymen IN
his diocese might be tempted to refer i'll
their sermons to the present strained rela-
tons between this country and Spain and
to give voice to their patriotism from the
pulpit, Right Rev. William Paret, D. D.,
bishop of the diocese of Maryland, of which
Washington was formerly a part, has is
sued d circular letter on the subject. A
copy of this letter has been forwarded to
each Episcopal clergyman in the diocese
of Maryland.
Bishop Paret says: God has brought US
to times of uncertainty. trouble and dan
ger. He calls US, our nation and its au-
thorities to use all possible patience CT
wisdom. And, helping to that, l ex-
all questions Of war or of national poll
tics and from unnecessary professions Of
patiotism. True patriotism does not need
to be boastful Important as these things
are. they have no place in the pulpit
Bishop Paret refers to the fact that
Christ and his apostles are the best mod
els for preachers of the gospels. He goes
en- to say that there were questions OF
deepest national Importance pressing the
minds of the people in the days of Christ.
but they did not make them the themes
for preaching" The bishop says that as
private citizens all clergymen should take
an interest in national affairs, but" he
says. keep Spain and points of national
policy out of your sermons"
The bishop then goes on to give some
advice in regard to prayers, asking them
to pray often for those in authority that
they may nave the divine guidance.
A reporter for The Star called on Rt.
Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Washington, today
and asked him If it is his intention to issue
similar circular to the clergymen Of his
diocese.
mo. do not think shall. I think that
the circular issued by Bishop Paret is a
very wise one. and 1 am heartily in accord
with the sentiments expressed by him. 1
have. however, heard of none Of those
fiery sermons being preached by the WASH
ington clergy and do not anticipate that
any will be-" Continuing. Bishop S4tter-
lee said: "AH this war talk Is good thing.
1t is like the safety valve to an engine:
in this way the surplus feeling is worked
or"
1t is thought that the circular sent out
by Bishop Paret will have the effect of
tempering the utterances Of clergymen who
might, to say the least, be fndiscreet. The
circular Is not issued on account OF any
particular clergyman. but is simply a
warning to those who might be tempted to
give vent to their patriotic feelings.

Eeon I'm Macy, Conanits Suicide.
s DR.. George CAntdA Hubbard, assistant
surgeon. UEitedn States navy, committed
suicide at st. 1is6beth's Asylum shortly
after midnight. asAtnrday by strangling
himself with ebrtkof his dressing gown.
Up>to few wsekBago DR.. Hubbard had
been attached = the San Francisco. He
showed signs OFF mental arrangement and
was removed t& the asylum about three
weeks ago. He was never violent and was
allowed such privileges as could be grant
ed. It was not. thought that his mania
would take q suicidal turn. =.
1t was stated that DIR. Hubbard was in
the habit of awakening in the middle Of
and turn on the electric light for few
noments. He did this Saturday night.
The Waterman saw the light burning at
II o'clock. but thought nothing of 1t. When
he made his next round at 1890 and found
the light still turned on he became suspi-
cfous and entered DR.. Hubbards room. He
saw Dr.. Hubbard lying on the bed, with
the cord from his dressing gown wound
tightly around his throat and knotted over
large blood vessel. The Waterman
sounded an alarm, and DR.. Lattimer hast
lily responded, but he found that life was
extinct. Coroner Carr was notified, and
after investigating the facts gave q certifi-
cate of death by suicide without holding
an inquest.
DR.. Hubbard was twenty-seven years of
age. He knew, it is said, the character of
his affection and felt it keenly. He was to
nave been examined in June for promo
ton to past assistant. surgeon, and 1t was
probably the worry over this matter of
taking the necessary examination that put
him In the Respondent mood which pre-
coded the rash act
DR.. Hubbard was q nephew of Rear Ad-
miral Benham, U. 8. N, retired. His par
ents are dead and he had but one brother,
who Is an ensign in the navy and now at
tached to the monitor Terror. He also had
a sister living in New York.

EGeetiveness of Modern Arms

Enect1YeneSs 0f Modern Arms. Shreveport Journal.
 The war between the United States and Spain was expected to demonstrate the potency of modern arms, but as yet it has not settled a single disputed question. In fact, the unparalled success of the American navy would indicate that all the improved ammunition was in the hands Of the United States or that if the Spaniards were so equipped, they were totally un- equal to the task of using the same effectively As to torpedo boats, they have not proven effec. tiYe, although some military au- thorities maintain that the Span iards have not handled them with sufficient skill to properly test their worth and hold that in the hands Of better seamen they will accom- plish ali that is claimed for them.
 On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that shore batteries, torpedos and mines can effectively protect any part from an attack by irorclads. The experience of the Vesuv.us has demonstrated the practicability and effectiveness of dynamite guns, and all nations will now probably turn their attention to developing this arm of the service. On the contrary, the operations on land do not indicate that modern arms will change the usual methods 10 any great extent, for in several of the engagements around Santiago strong Notifications and lines of rifle pits have been carried by as- sault by the American troops, and their losses were not greater than that sustained by troops in our late civil war under similar circum- stances, when the muzzle loading rifle was used. The war has been a disappointment to military tactics both at sea and on land, for although the Spaniards fought bravey upon every occasion they have suffered defeat every time they have met the Americans in open combat.
 It now looks like the military scientists will have to await another war to demonstrate the correctness of tbeir theorles or make manifest the folly of their predictions.
