Mormons Greatly Increasing

An interesting item about a
church which claims to be Christ
ian, but which is not accepted as
such by either Catholics or Protes-
tante, may be given. The orthodox
Mormons or Church of Latter Day
Saints, made the largest accessions
Of membership during 1898 OF any
religious body in the United States,
unless you treat the colored Method
lists as a separate entity, and then
the relative incre asa Ca little over IL
per cent? in these two bodies is
about equal.
No statistics of increase are made
relative to the Salvationis.s. But
allowing the claim of Commander
Frederick Booth-Tucker that dur
ing the last year $4,000 persons have
publicly confessed conversion, and
estimating that large number of
them joined he Salvation Army, it is
plain that the estimated number of
10000 Salvationists in 1897 must be
credited with All increase of infinite
ly greater proportional magnitude
than even the Latter Day Saints.
DR.. De Costa has put on record
his opinion that the reason is their
sternly orthodox estachology. "Uni-
versalism," he said in he sermon
in "offering to make a present of
heaven, if there be one, has less
favor than the Salvation Army,
threatening eternal pain."-N. Y

A. A Carreira, clerk in he Tax
Office, was charged in the District
Court this morning with assaulting
Ah Ngee, a Chinese in the employ
of Mr.. Atkinson, and All Ngee was
under arrest for non payment of
taxes. The cases will be heard next
week. All Ngee claims that he is
only nineteen years of age and that
no taxes can be collected from him,
and that the collector assaulted him.
What Carreira has to say will be

Sh- kespeare's "As You Like It"
At the Opera House.


At the Opera House.
In the days gone by, when we
nightly donned the garb of official
criticism,-too frequently, alas con-
trolled by the Box Office and the
Business Department. we had one
canon Of criticism which was our
guide: How did the audience re-
ceive the play and the playerss After
all they, and not the critic, ars the
ones to be pleased, or offended. 1t
is their money and their judgment
that the actors, playwrights and the
business managers require. The
canons of criticism are excellent in
their way for the two extremes Of
society, the very thoughtful on the
one hand, and on the other they who
prefer to have their opinions model
led on the thoughts of others, too
lazy or unintelligent to-think for
themselves.
To criticize Shakespeare's deli
cious little pastoral-comedy is very
much like spattering the Lily and
smudging the rose. Personally, we
prefer to take it and digest it, from
the best text, in the midst of pleas
ant surroundings, and to endeavor-
ing to encompass ourselves with the
feelings of the age in which the
master poet penned it. We have
seen it-rapturous memories-de.
picted under English oaks and near
ancestral homes, with costumes in
perfect character and harmony with
the sweet conception, but even then
were not content. But to our limit
ed understanding, there is soma
thing incongrous in turning it par.
TALLY into modern society play
with modern surroundings OF Paris
ian costumes, and no effort of gen.
ius, however powerful, can rob the
senses of this insongruity. No thanks
to the school books and amateur
elocutionists = the murderers of
thought, language and expressive
ness-all the gems have become
familiarized ahd brutalized and it
requires real genius and perfect
understanding to re-translate the
language to bring it in a welcome
manner to the souls intelligence.
We shall measure, then, last
nights performance by the pleasure
it appeared to give to the very large
audience assembled in the charming
little theatre, which, by the way,
would be materially improved by the
addition OF a few electric fans.
There can be no doubt about it. The
audience was an intelligent one and
its attention was earnest. Its ap-
plause was generous and spontan-
eous and richly won for it was in
variably timely and not given as
perfunctory duty. We have seen
many Rosalinds, some better, many
worse, but Janet Waldorf undoubt-
edly makes a very charming one,

share OF the over. lavish praise

BLACK BELTS AT THE SOUTH.
some Lately Learned Facts About
the Distribution of the Me-
gre Population.

A considerable number of districts of
the south contain black population
exceeding 60 per cent. of the entire
population. These districts are found
from Richmond to Raleigh and in two
thirds of South Carolina and in wide
belt extending from Augusta, Ca,
southwesterly to the Alabama line and
across Alabama in belt that includes
Tuskegee, Montgomery, Selma and
Demopolis and along both banks
of the Mississippi river from the
delta to Memphis andi in the Shreveport
section of Louisiana and in the Houston
neighborhood in Texas. In about one
third of Alabama the proportion Of me-
gro population, however. is below II
per cent.
In the districts most densely populat-
ed by negroes, there are rs or more to
the square mile, while there are many
large districts in this state in which
there are not over eight negroes to the
square mile. The two largest areas
heavily peopled with negroes are found
in South Carolina and along the lower
Mississippi river.
These facts are brougbt out in the
plates that accompany DIR. Curry's re-
port upon the Slater fund. He discusses
at considerable length the congestion
that exists in the districts mentioned.

fusion theory or the deportation the

Europe II Being Ftansncked by
New Workers for Tapestries
Furniture.


Europe is being secured for the choic-
est and most beautiful antique furni-
ture to satisfy the desires of Ameri-
cans, who have been interested keenly
in the productions of the old world.
In this country knowledge OF objects
of art has broadened very much in re-
cent years. h
Wealthy persons are satisfied no
longer with limitations or copies of old
and famous tapestries and tapestried
furniture. They want the originals,
no matter what may be the cost. They
distinguish readily between the real
and the counterfeit. The homes, as
a result, are being made more fascinat-
ing and beautiful by the collections
from European shores.
Leading dealers IN objects of art will
tell you with every succeeding year
that the demand for the finest speci-
mems of antique furniture is increas-
ing among the people of this country.
Many residences contain. the most su-
perb examples of art in furniture. This
is true not only of New York, but of
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
lngton, Chicago, San Francisco and of
other cities. The demand is so great
that the supply is very inadequate.
Since last fall the dealers have been
called upon more than ever before to
find the best antiques for their patrons.
1t is believed that the stock will be
increased now that the war with Spain
has been closed. There is large
amount of beautiful antique tapestried
furniture in Spain. The rancor of the
late war has not passed away. Inn
porters of antiques have been careful
not to enter the Spanish field too soon,
but they hope to resume business there
quickly.
Many dealers in antiques have gone
TO Europe to spend the summer in
searching for rare and costly objects
of art for their customers. The sum-
mer season is always duh in the city.
1t is the opportune time for them to
cross the Atlantic and stock up their
establishments.
Especially in these days is desired

and Louis XVI. periods. have made
inquiries at the wep-known antique
furniture houses of this city and have
been told by the firms that they cannot
buy large enough stocks to meet the
demand.
Agents in Europe are paid large sal
aries to search for the beautiful tapes
tried furniture of the above periods.
Every corner of the continent Is
searched to beautify the homes of
Americans. At the present time the
stock in the establishments of this city
is not nearly as large as desired, though
visit will show that there are beauti-
full sets and separate pieces in the mar
ket.
The prices for these splendid objects
of art vary. Exquisite sets of Gobelins
or Beauyais tapestried furniture will
cost usually between $4,000 and $20,-
