every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels. without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

near lecture by Rev. Joseph Sasia, s. ].
entitled "A Wonderful Subject" under
the auspices of Columbia Council No. *
1oung Mems Institute. The programme
opened with piano solo by A E. Magill
Jr -. j. Sheehan, president of the cotln-
ell, made few Introductory remarks. and
John Desmond sang two tenor solos in
excellent voice
In his lecture Father Sasia stated that
the SUBJECT as announced was but another
name for miracles, which no doubt his
auditors had already realized He
prefaced his remarks by alluding to the
wonderful physical laws of nature which
regulated the phenomena of the vegetable,
animal al and human kingdoms, but which
IN themselves were submissive to tine
hand who had created these laws.
1t IS the temporary suspension of these
laws, said the reverend lecturer, ''by the
creator whereby he performs miracles in
order to exhibit his divine omnipotence
and to manifest his glory to the world,
God performs and has performed actions
above and beyond the ordinary course of
things, as has been attested by the in
dfsputable evidence of reliable witnesses
But 1t Is fact that only the power WhicI a
has created these physical laws possesses
the Wonirous power of suspendfng them
at will"
Father Sasia then proceeded to prove
three points which sum up the whole
proposition as follows: First, miracles
are possible and can be performed: Sec
ond, miracles have absolutely and IN
deniably occurred; third, miracles cannot
be accounted for by any material agent
or attributed to any created being. bur re-
hand of God. 0i''

lege Of keeping 1t open only during the
summer months.
Even to this more than fair proposal
Baron Won Schroeder would not agree
This was the first but by no means the
most serious cause of the trouble which
led up to the present retirement of War
field When the hotel first opened every
possible effort was made to make 1t
fashionable summer resort for reputable
people.
The Baron and his wealthy wife went
there and helped things along with
monthly bill of s11O0. They remained for
two years. and shortly afterward Baron
ess Won Schroeder went to Germany.
1t was the general expectation that her
husband would quickly follow her, but
he found here company more congenial
and remained. Affairs in the Won
Schroeder household had not been NOV
ing as smoothly as might have been de-
sired. The Baron was expensive He
spent money lavishly, and an estate
which was estimated at over three mil
lion dollars began to dwindle until it
looked like four hundred and fifty thou
sand A million dollars in bonds Of the
Donahue railroad had gone Gossip
tongues were wagging, and justly SO, for
the Baron took no pains TO observe those
conventionalities which hide sometimes
even derelictions.
The Baroness, berore she left for Eu-
rope, gave her power of attorney to At
torney Giselman, without whose signature
Baron Won Schroeder cannot dispose of
any of his wife's property. After the de-
parture of the Baroness, the Hotel Rafael
became the scene of incidents which
formed the second ground of General
Warfeld's S complaint. Baron Won Schroe-
der was even more reckless in his disre-
gard of ordinary proprieties.
On more than one occasion he was asked
to desist and respect the feelings of men
and women who could not justly be asked
to submit without protest to insult But
the Baron was obdurate-he owned the
hotel Little by little the story of scan
dalous scenes was spread. Rumor ex-
aggerated them and men who honor their
reputation and women who respect their
skirts preferred to go elsewhere for their
summer vacation. The house became
worse than prOfitless.
1t began to lose heavily and Warfield
decided If possible to retire 1t was idle
to expect that Won Schroeder would alter
his mode Of life and until he did it was
not to be expected that people worth hay-
ing would give their patronage to the ho-
tel, Warleld therefore induced Won
Schroeder to release him from the obli-
cation of his lease. The Baron did this
with the greatest unwilingness. He has
finally done so and to-day the necessary
documents of release will be signed.

ager and Lessee.

General R. Fl. Warfield will, on Novem-
ber l, surrender his lease of the Hotel
Rafael to Baron Won Schroeder, the own
er of the property. To the general public
this retirement of General Warfeld will
be a surprise, but to those who have had
an opportunity of observing events at the
San Rafael hostelry, the expected has
happened. General Warf1eld found it i'm
possible to conduct a respectable hotel
and to permit Baron Won Schroeder to
enter the doors. The general has decided,
therefore, to retire from the contract that
was neither pleasant nor profitable.
He could not ask patronage of reputa-
Bile men and women and at the same
time wink at the escapades of the Baron.
1t was impossible to ask decent men and
women who honor their homes to reside
under the same roof where gambling and
outrageous revelry made noisy the hours
of the night and shocked the senses of
respectable people. The Baron insisted
upon having his way and the other guests
of General Warfeld INDUCED their privi-
lege of moving out Scandal threw its
shadow over the establishment and in
that shadow General Warfeld counted
his losses. The Baron became altogether
too expensive luxury and General War
IeIu ueleIIulueu IL possible TO QlSpenSe
with him.
He therefore asked that he be permitted
to retire from the obligation of his lease
before its legal termination.
Baron Won Schroeder granted the
request, and it is presumed he will
conduct the hotel on the principles that
made it odious to the people who once
favored it with their patronage. The
Baron has full liberty now to conduct his
gambling parties as frequently as he
pleases and with whom he pleases. He
is free to manage 1t in what
ever way will best suit his manners and
morals, and perhaps may obviate the ne
cessity of having his brother booted from
any more local hotels. The trouble be-
tween Baron Won Schroeder and General
| Warfeld is of long standing.
When General Warfied leased the Ho-
tel Rafael it was with the understanding
that the establishment was to be kept
[ open the entire year. After one year s
experience the manager discovered his
sum of profits were eaten by his winter
losses and he asked permission to close
the hotel during the winter and make 1t
distinctively a summer resort. To this
Baron Won Schroeder would not agree
He insisted the place be kept open the
entire year Warfeld demurred, but un-
der the conditions of his lease was
forced to submit, although he went so far

A philanthropic old lady, who lives
on a small street below Morris, for
several years past has fed daily large
number of sparrows ia the front entry
of her house. a great many of the little
birds hover about the house Of their
friend, and perch fearlessly on the steps
and window sills. The children and tie
neighbors, strange to say, have the ut
most respect for the birds and take
great care never to interfere with them.
The old lady pays for the regular re-
mCval Of her ashes and garbage. When
ever the ash man comes the spaErCws
are generally perched about on the
ledge of the ash barrel, and the man
will not 90 near them until the old
lady comes to the door and calls them
all inside. Recently an intruder in the
shape of white owl came to the door,
and there was great excitement among
the children of he neighborhOOd. They
would not tOuch it because they
thought it was new pet, but when the

money to capture it and take it away
from the vicinity, so that her sparrOws
would not be disturbed.-rhiladclp lphia

sionally and officially interested in the edu-
cational work should be first sought and
steadfastly followed. If. as alleged on ex-
cellent authority. the walls and floors of
the Western High School, which cost a
very large sum. are in no sense sound
proof; If it Is impossible to conduct even
ordinary school exercises In one room with
out disturbing another; If there can be TO
general calesthenic work without iarring
the entire structure, as reported, it is evil
dent that somebody blundered sadly when
this house was planned and built In gen.
eral 1t would seem that almost the first
consideration in devising a school house
is to insure quiet in the study and recita-
tion rooms. 1t matters little as to this point
in an engine house or a police station
whether the walls are deadened or not. Yet
1t is to be assumed that when such build
ings are planned the wishes of the depart
ments to which they pertain are consulted.
The school board desires to be placed upon
the same footing, with the difference, which
the peculiar character of the school house
demands, Of giving to the trustees the power
to supervise the preparation of plans and
to nominate the superintendents of con-
struction who shall represent the school
organization in the work of erection. These
requests are moderate and are based upon
conditions which show glaring faults in
the present system.

Great events produce remarkable changes
in tn, worlds economy. A process of crys-
tallization is constantly in progress among
the powers, new forms being steadily
brought into being through new combina-

thing impossible. The amalgamation of the
people of England and the United States
into spirit of unity was in itself re-

changes which were wrought by this war
accepted as facts of the time than other

these is the growing together of Germany
