At All Souls church, flowers in great
profusion, most beautifully arranged
upon the altar, greeted the hundreds of
children yesterday morning as they
came into the church. It was a festal

THE PARK THEATRE.

A society play, brilliant and satirical,
is '.Aristocracy," which Stage Manager
Gilbert Ely has selected for the Park
Company this week.
The author of Shenandoah" and
Young Mrs. Winthrop" never scored
"a failure, and this piece, on the con-
trary, is one of his strongest successes.
The demands of the play call for rich
and modish costuming on the part of
the actresses, and the very atmosphere
of the production is that of refinement
and sp.endor. Considerable curiosity
is manifested over the appearance OF
Miss Alice Pennoyer, whose charming
photographs have already caused a sen
sation in the hearts Of the susceptible.

Reports of Germany's opposition to
arbitration proposals of every descrip-
ton at The Hague conference can cause
no surprise. Emperor William con-
demned this method of settling inter
national differences some time ago, and
one of his most eminent representatives
has declared that there is no call for
concerted action in the matter, because
the principle is already in force, so far
as it is feasible. 1t is naturally assumed
that Germany has the support of Aus
tria, Italy and Denmark, no one of
which nations nor all of them
together could much affect the re-
suit of the deliberations, but with their
backing Germany might be able to de-
feat any project looking for the formal
institution of international arbitration.
| An agreement might be possible among
the other nations, for German jealousy
of everything that might be supposed
| to contribute to Russian and French
prestige is well understood, and it is
fair to assume that this sentiment has
much to do with her present attitude.
But whatever the result, the promin-
ence given to arbitration in the confer
ence must advance the cause, and the
| gain cannot be wholly neutralized by
the factious opposition of a single mill
| tary nation.

No violent exercise Of the imdgina-
ton is required to account for the rapid
spread of the bubonic plague IN the
orient. The uncIeanliness of the peo-
pie, the absence of sanitary Tegula-
tions, the intermingling of religious
pilgrims from widely separated cities
and towns. and the ordinary course of
commerce offer sufficient opportunities
for disseminating the disease. In two
conspicuous instances, the infection is
supposed to have been carried in a
cargo of rice. It has remained for a
Bombay newspaper to protest against
another POSSIBLE cause of contaglOn,
European physicians visiting the east
have taken away cultures of microbes
for investigation at home and it is
asserted that neither dynamite nor
gunpowder is so dangerous as a phial
of plague germs in the pocket or trunk
of an irresponsible medico. The la
mentable experience at a Vienna hos
pital, last summer, need be only re-
called in order to demonstrate that the
western world is not immune TO the
dread disease. Germ culture was the
cause of the trouble there, but COM
merce might bring it across the water,
without artificial aid, and the fright
experienced in San Francisco is not
unlikely to be repeated elsewhere.
There is filth enough in some of the
larger cities to give the plague start
even if it were afterwards eXtirpated
by stringent health regulations. Nel-
Their climate nor altitude seems a bar
rier TO it. but cleanliness is one of the
most effectual preventives, as is showr
by the general immunity of Europeans
in Hong Kong, Bombay and AleXan-
dria

Neither candidate for the lieutenant
governorship seems to lose any Of his
cheerful confidence in success as the
season wears on. The partisans of each
are unable to see how he can possibly
lose the nomination, barring some in
conceivable indiscretion of speech or
action. Meanwhile the political wise
acres are quite at sea, and there is
very little to indicate which candidate
is ahead. Bates men seem to be very
active in the western counties, and
Col. Guild may not be so strong in
Boston as was once asserted. but there
is nothing conclusive in either Of these
reports. The campaign is still very
young.
