outward EXPRESSION of 1t goes, IN the

the meeting will be IN London. Ihis
Congress brings together every variety
of Professionalism, together with Cathol-

Judaism and Ethical Culture. and. In
truth. every form of religious thought
and life which is represented in this
country. The meetings have been thor
oughly outspoken, with no concealment
of personal belief or abatement OF per-

and tolerance and underlying unity
have been manifested beyond precedent

dawning of the day when there shall be
indeed a symphony of religions.

TURF QUEEN RETIRES.

The retirement of Mrs. Ella Offutt
Pepper from the turf, after one of the
most brilliant seasons of success ever
scored by a Kentucky devotee of the
thoroughbred, is considered a great loss
to turf sports. She had one of the best
stables out the past season. She placed
the horses in the hands of that astute
turfman and trainer, II. Eugene Leigh,
and his successful preparation and
selection of jockeys, coupled with his
skill in placing the horses in company
they could defeat, won for Mrs. Pepper
large sums of money in stakes and
purses, and in bets with the book
makers. Stories are told of big amounts
being wagered on single events, and it
is said that on one race Mrs. Pepper
won besides the purse something like
$4,000 from the layers of odds. When
the season was over many of her
friends advised her to keep the horses
and to race them next year, but she
declined this advise and offered the
horses at public outcry.
She shrewdly saw that the horses
would bring more money when their
prestige was fresh in the minds of pros
pectiVe purchasers, besides, she would
be taking no risks on the horses dying
or getting out of condition. Then she
wanted the money for purpose, and
that purpose was to assist her husband,
Colonel James e. Pepper, in again get
ting a controlling interest in the dis
tillery that bears his name. It will be
remembered that Colonel Pepper failed
during the early part of last year, and
that Mrs. Pepper, who had money in
her own right, bought in the property,
including the thOrOughbredS.
Mrs. Pepper, who has been the means
of restoring the colonel to his old po-
sition in the distillery, was one of the
most beautiful women in Kentucky,
when, as Miss Ella Offutt, she was a
social favorite in Louisville, Shelby
Vile, Lexington and other Kentucky
cities.-Lexington Correspondence of
the Chicago Chronicle.

But why" it has been asked, should

because the Prince Imperial would have

that is, provided other things were fav-
