Washington girls are evidently willing
to help along the proposed reconciliation
between church and stage. In addition
to other reasons, of course, they used TO
go to church to study the styles ;but now
they 20 to the theatre. Time was when
the leading lady played "Ophelia' and
"Topsy' in the same dress, and some
times wore that elastic garment in ''real
life," but nowadays stage gowns are
made in Paris and are very gorgeous in
deed. Washington is now recognized as
the very foremost ''first night" ltown of
the country, and is just as proud of the
fact as boy of sixteen when a girl of
equal maturity alludes to him as "man
OF the world" SO besides going to the
play to be amused, or shocked, or edited,
our ladies go to study the fashions, and
Washington girls have the best of OPP
portunities in that respect.

A FerYent Prayer.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells this
story of the Virginia backwoods: A white
minister, after conducting services at a
colored church, asked an old deacon to
lead in prayer. The dusky brother in his
fervent appeal asked that a shower OF
heavenly grace be permitted to fall upon
his white friend. He said:
sob, Lor', give him de eye of de eagle
dat he may spy out our sins afar OIL
Weld his hans to de Gospel pillow; tie bis
tongue TO de lines of truf an nail his ear
to de gospel pole! An. oh Lor', bow his
haid way down-ah! benin his knees,

lonesome dark an narrow valley, oh

be, if we but wore the toga But what
a senator is-well, that's another ques-

THAT "LITTLE INSURRECTION.v

ARMY in the Philippines Three Times Lares
er Than the One That Whipped spain.
The president is inclined to speak
lightly of the troubles over in the Phil
'ppines. The poor fellows who are wad-
ing around over there do not view the
situation in as rosy light as does Mr..
Mckinley. In one Of his speeches in
South Dakota Mr.. Mckinley said
1--WE have little insurrection in the
Philippines, which l trust will be very
promptly suppressed.
Only the day before this optomistic
utterance dispatch from Washington
said:
"The combined military and naval
forces OF the United States in the Philip
pines, when all the ships now under or
Gers reach their destination, will aggre-
gate more than seventy thousand men
and forty-five war vessels"
A list of the regiments and ships were
given. Is not this considerable of a
force to put down "little insurrection?"
The army in tue Philippines is more
than double the size of our entire stands
ing army before the war with Spain, 1t
is three times the size of the force re-
CURED to whip spain in CUBA and Porto
Rico. And it is three and a half times
bigger than the armies under Scott and

The city of Copenhagen, Denmark
is overrun with rats, and is trying to
exterminate the pests by offering a
small bounty on each rat killed. In

ciaIly recorded as having been
slaughtered; the number grew to 6,6l6
in the second week, and to $3.50 in the
third. When the number shall nave
reached 10000 per week it is thought
that some impression will have been
made on the army of rats. Meanwhile
rat catching is a popular and lucrative
sport with the youth of the town.

Mr.. Buck on "patrick."

Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland"
was the theme Of an Interesting lecture
delivered last night at the First Baptist
church, by Rev. Martin ". Buck, the
pastor. The lecture was part OF an en-
tertainment given by the ladies OF the
church. and Rev. Mr.. Bucks Views
were unique In many respects. set up as
they were against what he termed the
traditions that surround the life Of the
apostle.
He gave an elaborate sketch OF Pat
rick's career, quoting from ali recog-
nized authorities. The date Of his birth
and death, he said, were shrouded in
doubt, the years OF his birth ranged
from 800 to 400, and OF his death the
years 450 or 400 were the most credited.
But Rev. Mr.. Buck didn't attempt to
pose Us an authority on these Details
dealing more with his work, of Chris
thanking and clvilizIng the Irish. whose
land he had first visited rs slave.
Patrick" he said, was Il great scrip
tural, a great evangelical character. All
his writings TEEN with reference to the
Bible, and none show his submission to
Rome. He preached salvation by faith
In Christ. and the story of his CONVEX
stoll ullleTS nttle from tndt OF Pthul OF
the modern Christian"
Continuing, the speaker cited histor-
les and encyclopedias In throwing light
on the great evangelist, and he said not
n line Of Patrick's writings spoke of
relics the confessional, indulgences, or
other Accomplishments of the Roman
Catholic religion. He paid an eloquent
tribute to Patrick's character and work,
intlmating that Patrick was more Of a
Baptist than II Catholic. He instanced
Patrick's teachings and his mode OF
baptism. he having on one occasion i'm
mersed 1000 of the Irish people in one

ton, and II he was Baptist he wis

who followed closely In the footsteps of
the apostles, preaching repentance Of
sin, salvation by faith and baptism OF
the believers. His life work ought to
be better known, and any church ought
to be proud thEt can consistently claim
him. He was the Paul Of Ireland, a
giant for truth, whose impress on his
age gave marvellous impulse TO Gods
work. He lived rs he taught, a noble
type Of man. We must admire his
character, and fifteen centuries fail to
dim its lustre. His was shining eX-
ample OF love for humanity: it mat
tiers not which sect claims him. And
