OUT AND ABOUT,

Rudyard Kipling continues to he tho
most written about and most quoted
modern English man of letters. Since
ms great Recessional hymn appeared
1t has been practically impossible 70
PICK up magazine or a newspaper
with any pretensions to the literary
without finding oneself confronted bv
the name or the fame of the author of
THE Seven Seas" In fact, Mr. Kiplina
IS the literary idol not only of the Eng
fish, but of the English-speakine mao
pies; his is the dominant influence in
English and American literature to-
day.
No further excuse is needed for the
quotations which follow. They are
from an article on THE Religion of
Mr.. Kipling." by w. r. Parker, in the
New World. Mr.. Kipling is often ac-
cused of having no religion. Many
men. declined to read him because thew
say he is so irreligious. But Mr.. Parker
accounts the appearance of the Recess
sional Hymn one of the chief religious
events of the past two years, and likens
1t to Luther's hymn, Millions sonnet
ION the Late Massacre in Piedmont"
and the noble cadences of the Fifty
first Psalm.
Mr. Kiplings religion" continues
Mr. Parker lis neither new nor COM
pick. 1t shares with his heroes and his
words simple and primal nature
There was never, in faot,a religion with
less scaffolding of theology. Such theo-
logy as there is to this faith is of the
most uncompromising orthodoxy, but
for the most part 1t springs up straight
from the broad base of human feeling,
unexplained and undefended,
AS little in religion as in statecraft
or verse forms, is Mr.. Kipling an inno-
walton. He is a healthy, austere, old
fashioned faith-the faith OF England
and the Old Testament. The two great

THE PARK THEATRE.
me 6est Show of the Season on the
Boards This Week.

Inc most entertaining collection of
artists that the Park theater has pre-
scented since its opening is on DUTY This
week. The biograph is laid off, and the
SzUo saved thereby enables the manage
ment to invest in a few higher priced
ana more taking acts, a fact which
the audience will appreciate. for the
aliInlated picture machine has begun to
grow little tiresome. 1t was one OF
the largest houses since the opening
nlgnt, even the boxes being filed, and
every one present will be around telling
MS friends today what a good show If
was.
Unquestionably the best act on the
program is that of Charles and Minnie
Sa Van, who do one of the funniest
ana cleYerest comedy acrobatio acts
seen in long time. The girl apnears
in soubrette makeup, and is fully as
good gymnast as her clown partner,
though, he, too, performs a number of
novel and difficult feats. and does
most of the fun-making The pair work
together admirably, and keep the spec
tators alternately laughing and ap-
plauding.
Dixon, Bowers and Dixon's act, which
IS the same as seen here last season
is of Itself enough to redeem any pro-
gram, provided it be not repeated too
many times. Professor Zarro deftly
performs number of conjuring tricks;
Mamie Harnish sings a couple of coon
songs after the most approved serio-
comic STYLE and Gardner and Gilmore
have singing act after the style of
Cushman and Holcombe, which is not
quite as successful as that Of their mod
els. Charles Bowser is a clever COM
edian on the effervescent order, and his
two supporting players give him ample
assistance in the farce, "A Chicago
Drummer" which pleased the audience,
although hardly worthy the talents of
its interpreters. Brannon and Collins
made things lively for Is minutes with
new and up-to-date jokes, gags and
songs, which put everybody in the best
of humor. Their first song, however.
is hardly as refined as the standard of
the house demands, and Manager Will
ton will do we'll to insist on its omis-
sion The list of entertainers closes
with the American Musical Four, a
quartet of ex-members of Sousa's, Gill
nlore's, Brooks, and Reeves bands.
Their brass playing, both in solo and
quartet work, is superb. every man be-
ing a genuine artist Their playing on
other instruments is not quite so sue
cessful. They introduced a large and
complicated arrangement of bamboo
reeds and Irvine, and the audience. as
soon as it was able to guess the name
of the piece that was being produced by
the efforts of the four on the same, APP
lauded itself vigorously on it's success
The well known soubrette Patrice, in
half hour comedietta is announced

Perhaps Gen. Gomez would be sur
prised If he did not get the $40, 600, 900,
which he wants as pay for the Cuban
soldiers for the past three years, but
others would be more surprised if he
did get it. Something might be said
in favor of paying off the Cuban army
and sending the soldiers home, but it
does not seem necessary to open a
bank account for each and every one
of them.

The exact nature OF the trouble is not
made known, but apparently the Fifth
Massachusetts, regiment is going to be
mustered out and sent home instead Of
to Cuba or Porto Rico. The govern
ment will send no dissatisfied troops
abroad, it is said. There was scarcely
a more efficient regiment in the state
militia or one more eager for service
when it went into camp in the south,
and something extraordinary must
have happened if it's usefulness has
been so quickly destroyed

Inc most interesting feature of the
Saopath Protective Leagues meeting
IN Boston, Sunday, was the presence
OF Rev, H. N. Brown, the Unitarian
pastor of Kings Chapel, and Rev. DR..
Lorlmer, pastor of the Baptist Ire
mont Temple, in the pulpit of Park
Street Congregational church. The ten
or OF the remarks may be judged from
Rev. Dr. Withrow's speech. Growing
boys are apt to be bumptious and some
what unruly, and that is the case with
chicago, city of very rapid growth. .
They have Sunday theatres in Chicago.
but Dr. Withrow did not know that
these were any worse than the Sunday
concerts at Music hall, organized by
Mayor Quincy. Charitable people will
make some allowance for DR.. With

unfortunate victim of careless report
ing that has called down upon his head
the wrath of the alumni of the Uni
Versity of Virginia 1t is not surpris-
ing that Thomas Nelson Page, ex-Sec-
rotary Hilary A. Herbert and the others
should have been enraged at reading
that their alma mater lis also famed
for its immortality and Righteousness,
ana that the students ARE moral only

should satisfy them, however. Moral
IN spots was used as descriptive of our

Now there is an issue of veracity be-
tween Shafter and Eagan in regard to
army beef. The conqueror of Santiago
denies that he made any such sweeping
approval of the beef as the commissary
generals words implied. So there is a
division in the ranks of the Algerines.

The Chicago News, after commenting
on the announcement that some one
has designed a statue $50 feet high as a
feature of Detroits 20Oth anniversary
in 1901, says that when one recalls the
size of Gov. Pingree, the statue seems
Ike an infant" The sarcasm is wasted,
so far as the possibility of its having
any effect upon the governor is con-
cerned. Michigan's chief executive is
self-respecting person. He knows of
nothing that can compare with him
self in point Of greatness, and il the
25O-foot statue seems short, the only
remedy is to make it higher.

these things are in sense a tri
butte to the power Of the Resur-
rection, sign Of influence Of
the Christian faith even upon the
worldly lives Of worldly men and
women.
It is commonly said that our
English name for Easter is
derived from that of a pagan
festival to the goddess OF Spring;
and indeed it is easy to believe
that as soon as men began to
think at all they must have ass
sociated some idea Of the super
natural with the reawakening of
the earth after the apparent
death Of winter, and would
naturally set apart a season of
thanksgiving to- the unknown
.beneficence that crowned the
coming spring With Fl owers. Then
came the Christian church pro
claiming tha mystery Of the Re-
surrection, and all the inchoate
devotions Of natural religion were
gathered up ard made an act OF
faith in the triumph Of the risen
Lord.
