Ignorant Men Of Mark

For a man who is not a Mason to
wear a Masonic mark is held to be a
social crime in all lands, but there are
times when circumstances surrounding
such an adornment Of the person is
laughable. For instance, at Fulton
and Middagh streets, Brooklyn, the
Wayfarer frequently has seen small
Italian bootblack who proudly wears
the scimeter and crescent Of the
shriner. He had found the mark.
Harry W. Lowe, a prominent Mason
here in Wilmington, recites a circum.
stance even more ludicrous. A man
whom he employed surprised him by
wearing a blue lodge mark.
You have no right to wear that" he
said.

"The Girl in the Barracks" is the
significant military title of the new
comedy which made such sensation
in New York city early in the season,
and which will have its first present
ment here at the Opera House on Fri
day night. 1t introduces in the stellar
roles two Wilmington favorites, Louis
Mann and Miss Clara Lipman. The
play itself is from the German, and is
in three acts. Mr.. Mann's character is
that of a Partisan millionaire not
averse to enjoying himself, while Miss
Lipman appears in the c0ngenial role
of music hall singer of the dashing
type, who kicks conventionalities to
the winds. At a dinner given in her
honor by some of her numerous admir-
ers she makes a wager of $4,000 francs,
to be donated for charitable purposes,
that she can spend twenty-four hours
in the barracks of a small garrison
near Paris. This she does by disguis-
| ing herself as a recruit, and reports for
duty. Endless complications follow,
but in the end she discloses her sex,
obtains her release and wins her wager.
Mr.. Mann and Miss Lipman's support
contains the names Of many prominent
tareeurs, among whom are Joseph
Coyne, George w. Barnum, Ben T. Dill

PARIS, March 1.-THE United states
has shown selfish Europe an example,"
said a responsible official to represent
tative Of the Associated Press when
asked what was the feeling Of the
French government regarding Presl-
dent MoKinleys offer Of his good Offices
to England.
1--WE felt" continued the OFFICIAL IN
question, "that our own position with
respect to England. in view Of the pres
emit state Of public feeling there, was too
dslicate to admit Of our aceeding to MI
fSruEer'B appeal; and, as this Feluct-
ance appeared to be shared by every
other power, the action Of the American
government in taking the initiative
came as an agreeamle surprise. That
1t did not succeed does not detract from
its merit"
The Associated Press representative
here called the interlocutors attention
70 the complains OF portion of the
French press that President Mckinley
refrained from backing up his offer,
which was necessary to Its success,
some papers having openly stated that
his action was a mere electoral maneu-
yer and not intended to be successful.
I'm our View" replied the official,
athese critIelsms are utterly UnJustI-
fed. President Mckinley did even more
than up to the last moment was expect
ed over here. Only the members OF
chancelleries who realized the delicate
nature OF such step can appreciate
Americas efforts at their proper value.
The French government, while not pre-
pared to t6lye the initiative, would, In
conjunction with Russln, readily have
supported America; but the promptl-
tude Of Engiaud's refusal cut the
ground from under them"
The Associated Press Informant add
ed that, although there appeared to be
little likelihood OF intervention In the
immediate future, yet hopes are still
entertained that an offer Of good 6filces
from the powers may eventually prove
acceptable.

TOPICS OF THE SCHOOLS.

Should religion be taught in our pub
lie schools2 This question has been
asked again and again and as often
answered. The answers are not always
the same. One thing is agreed on by all
who have made the matter a study /.
e., there can be no UNCONVENTIONAL re-
ligion taught, else We 80 back to the
times when there was a unlor Of the
church and state, which Is contrary to
the Fundamental principles Of our gov

ground that there should be no relig-
iqus teaching in our schools at all; that
the state only expects Out boys and
girls to be given knowledge of the
primary branches In our public schools.
Teach them to read fiuently; to write
iegibiy and to calculate rapidly, and
correctly. and the state has done its
duty to the child. This is very mar
row view to take OF the matter, though
there are many of our schools not do
Ing these three things well. The state
expects good men and good women to
be made of our boys and girls and we
all arquiesce and say that 1t has a
right to demand IT. This being 80. then
those principles that go to the making
OF good citizens must be taught to our
boys and girls while they are In school.
These teachings must be of a religious
nature. The underlying principles Of
the Christian religion must be taught,
such as the Golden Rule, the proper
relations we sustain 70 each other. to
love truth for the sake of truth, to hate
vice in MI It's phases, etc. These things
are not to be taught from text book.
