The use of vile and profane language
In public places has become SO prevalent
that many of our best people have be-
come alarmed oyer its probable effect
upon the rising generations, and are
looking about for means of checking the
habit. President Guggenheimer of the
municipal council of New York city,
has introduced an ordinance with the
view of stopping the use of such lang
uage in that city. The same evil exists
IN nearly every town and city. The
complete lack OF a spirit of reverence
that is so characteristic of some people,
aud the utter disregard of decency and
the feeling OF others that goes with it
has come to be an evil of no small mag
nitude. There are forms OF indecency
that are summarily punished, but the
offense OF the foul-mouthed brawler and
street loafer is nearly as bad and de-
mands attention.

Sir Thomas Upton is willing to
spend SS00,0 in building yacht and
contesting with American yachtsmen
for the purpose of securing the Amer.
ica's cup, which has cost American
millionaire yachtsmen so many million
dollars to defend during the past AZ
years. Sir Thomas is said to be "the
bsst fellow" among the British sports
men who has offered challenge TO
American sportsmen during many
years past, but whether he will have
the best yacht remains to be deter
mined by the race.
The Americans seem to have been
securing quite a number of prizes dur.
ing the year 1913, and it is hoped Amer
lean skill in yacht buildiug and sailing
will win the prize when Sir Upton
comes over to see us in 80.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

At stated couvocation of the Fort
Meigs Chapter No. 80, of Royal Arch
Masons held at Masonic Temple, in
Toledo, Ohio, August l6, 1898, the fol-
lowing Resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased an Ali
Wise Providence to call into His
immediate presence the entranchised
spirit OF our departed friend and COM
panion, Fred j. Matzinger, to occupy,
as we trust, a seat at his right hand, and
WHEREAS, In the sudden departure
of our friend and companion to the
"great beyond" we are again most
forcibly reminded of the fact that in the
"midst OF life we are in death that
this is not to be our continued abiding
place, and that while it is not yet too
late, we should learn to walk uprightly
in the sight of God aud our fellow men,
it is therefore, hereby,
RESOLVED, That in the death of Com
panlon Fred j. Matzluger, Fort Meigs
Chapter No. 30, r. A. M. has lost one
OF its most faithful and consistent mem
bers, and one who was ever ready and
willing, not only to heed the teachings
of our Order, but to practice them as
we'll in his daily intercourse with the
world.
RESOLVED, That, to his sorrowlng
widow, once the sharer of his Joys and
sorrows, and to his mother whose sup
port he was to become in her declining
years, both now bereft of his comfort
and assistance, we hereby extend our
most sincere and heartfelt sympathies
with the consoling reflection that
"rhe path of sorrow and that path alone
Leads to the lands where sorrow is unknown
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records OF this Chapter,
and that certified copy of the same,
under the seal of the Chapter, be for
warded to each, the widow and mother
of the deceased, and the same be also
published in the PERYsBURG JOURNAL.
Respectfully submitted,
d. X. HoLLENBECK,
J. f. BRANDHUBER, Committee.

An Indiana editor, who is somewhat
afflicted with bright ideas, says: "Sur-
reuders to be according to Hoyle, must
be made under tree. This facilitates
the process of taking leaves and en-
ables the terms to be kept shady. Lee
surrendered under an apple tree at
AppOmattox, and Toral surrendered
under cedar tree at Santiago. Ger
vera did not need a tree because he
had his park with him, although the
way in which his ships ran ashore was
suggestive of a slippery helm"

Yes!

Why, he let

You bet!
1t was his day
For screaming, anyway!
Oh, say,
Do you think our flag is still there:
That's where
1t is, and that's where it'll stay,
Waving away

How we
Go about the business OF setting people free!

1t was great day,
So, just for luck once more

Our Cuban allies do not improve on
acquaintance. The earlier reports of
their inefficlency as soldiers and un-
willingness as workers are supple
mented by the latest dispatches from
Santiago. 1t seems almost incredible
that these are the same men about
whose deeds of heroism SO much has
been said during the last three years.
Our soldiers find that they shirk both
fighting and work, but are adopts at
destroying property; or at plundering
1t is unpleasant to come to this reali'
zation of the worthlessness of the in
surgents, but it is inevitable.

Hyperion Theater. THE. GEIsHA."

MT. Augustin Daly will send the orig inal "Geisha" company to New Haven and it will be seen at the Hyperion Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, Jan uary 25 and 26 There will be a special matinee on Wednesday,. All the origi- nal scenery, costumes and mechanical and electrical effects will be used here. To tell the story briefly: Lieutenant Reggie Fairfax, R. N. of H. M. s. Thistle, stationed at Japan comes on shore with party of fellow officers and makes love to the geishas (singing girls trained at the Yeddo conservato- ry). The officers English sweethearts are making a yachting excursion through Japanese waters. They all ar rive at the same tea house and Mollie Seamore, Reggio's fiancee, to secure, re- venge upon her faithless lover, disguises herself as one of the geishas. The gov ernor of the province, ridiculously susceptible old parsonage, revokes the license of the tea house and orders the auction of the geishas The madcap  Mollie is forced to mount the block with the rest and meeting the fancy of the governor she is sold to his and carried off to be married. This furnishes the motive for the first act, and the remain der of the piece shows in whirl of humorous activity the plots and schemes of the Englishmen for regain ing possession of the unfortunate little maiden. Up to the very curtain fall the fun and interest is capitally sustained. The following we'll known artists are in the company: Nancy Mcintosh, Vir- ginia Earle, Helena Nelson, Ethel Horn ick, James T. Powers, Julius Steger and Augustus Cook. There is large and we'll trained chorus of fifty voices and the orchestra will be increased for this presentation. The seat sale commences on Friday morning. Prices, matinee 25c, soc, 75c and $t. Evening, soc, 75c, $l and s1.50.

TWO SHIPS ASHORE.
City of Birmingham of Savannah Line
 and the Sarah H. Prior.

OlLy OI OL s1etNdIllIdu sl1lut
 and. the Sarah H. Prior.
 Boston, Jan. 19.-The steamer City of Birmingham, Captain Charles s. Burg, from Savannah, Ga, while coming up the harbor this morning during a thick haze ran ashore on the flats near Thompson's Island. Efforts made to float her were unsuccessful up to noon- time, and it was decided to move as much of the vessels cargo as could be taken out before high water tonight, and to make another attempt to pull her into deep water then. The City of Birmingham is an extra boat in the Sa- vannah line service to this port and was making her third consecutive trip here. She left Savannah last Saturday with full cargo of cotton.
 The fishing schooner Sarah M Prior, owned by P. H. Prior of this city, Cap- tain Frank Raymond, is ashore on Nix's Mate full of water. Arrange ments are being made to float the ves- sel, but it is thought that she is badly damaged The Sarah H. Prior was built at East Boston in 1882 and regis ters ninety-seven tons net. She was on her way out of the harbor on voy- age to Georges when she went on the rocks. One of the crew says that she was forced out of the channel by tow of barges.

 THE BELLE OF NEW YORK.

Its First Production Here Last Night
 at the Hyperion.
 The Hyperion was crowded last night at the first production here of "The Belle of New York" which enjoyed quite an extended run at the Casino in New York Like all the Casino producr tions it's chief merit is its "go" and this quality is recognized as the chiefest virtue in musical burlesque. The book is by Hugh Morton and the music by Gustave Kerker There is not a slow moment in either of the two acts. and there are one or two moments when thins are dangerously lively The seen cry is varied and the costumes are radi- ant. The fiat" representing the Grand Central station was very cleverly done, particularly in the matter of perspec- tive
 The company was a long list of Casino favorites. The absence of Dan Daily was a great disappointment. MT. Daily is a great favorite and the size of the audience was no doubt due in a large measure to his personal popular ity here The substitution of Harry Davenport left the role in competent hands, but it did not atone for the ab- sence of the advertised star. George Fortesque, William Cameron and George Schiller were conspicuously good among the men, and Edna May, Phillis Rankin, Marie George and Paula Ed warties were excellent among the wo- men, Edna May, who was promoted from the chorus to play the role of the Salvation lassie was extremely demure and won much applause from the col lege portion of the audience. Phillis Rankin, who initiates Anna Held, was extremely comedy and showed consid- erable magnetism in a rather small role. The chorus and ballet disported with their customary vivacity and in- termittent grace.
