MODERN PAGANISM
Cleveland Clergyman Sees Indica-
tions of Such In America.


Cleveland, March 5.-Rev. George
Vahey, pastor of st. Johns cathedral,
in the course of a lenten sermon in
that church yesterday said that the
plays of '.Sapho," the "Degenerates'
and others of similar character are
Indicative of pagan spirit through
out the country. He said that the
ultimate effect of such plays is to in
crease immortality and to destroy vir-
tue and innocence.
Father Nahey said that inasmueh as
the immigration laws bar the physical
leper from the United States, they
should be framed so as to bar the
actress from abroad who comes to this
country with her immoral plays, the
effect Of which is to spread spiritual
leprosy.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Cole

with the story.
Many people in this city will remem-
ber Madam dOrguerre, who, a few
years ago, lived in Akron, and gave
private instruction in French. The
woman was highly cultured and ac-
complished, and having been left a
widow, was dependent upon her own
talents for a livelihood. While in Ak
ron she lived in the home of Mrs. r.
w. Sadler and during her stay she
made many friends.
Two years ago, she went to Califor-
mia and Washington. She. returned
to Akron last fall and took up apart
ments at the Windsor. 1t was her
intention to resume her work as a
teacher Of the French language, but
she was taken Ill and her plans were
abandoned. T he attending physician
noticed symptoms, of nervous affec-
tion. and two weeksnago, the case de-
velopd into insanity. sfLast week

sanitarium at Cuyahoga Falls. She

Madam dorguerre was formerly
Miss Grace Conkling, a niece of Ros-

mented woman.
Mr.. Conkling called upon DR.. A. X.

Madam d'Orguerre during her illness.
He afterward went to Cuyahoga Falls
and the unfortunate woman was taken
to the State hospital at Buffalo, NY.

WROTE AGAINST TIME.
And After All Came Out an Easy
Winner.

did you know" said an old reporter,
that prominent newspaper man Of
St. Louis left tiptop editorial position
the other day for the purpose of set
ting up In business as a writer Of
speeches and letters? l have seen his
announcement and must say he doesn't
mince words in offering his services to
the public, but tells in plain English
exactly what he proposes to do.
II have had little experience my
self in speech writing for other people.
and one episode call to mind was
rather narrowing. A certain business
man who is tiptop good fellow, but
totally devoid of what is called the
gift of gab,' was put down to respond
to toast at big banquet and came
to me in a cold sweat to help him out.
Il engaged to get up something
bright and snappy that would occupy
about five minutes in delivery and
ground out the stuff without much
trouble on the following day. My man
was certain he couldn't memorize any
thing, and accordingly reduced it to
typewriting on couple Of sheets so If
necessary it could be read.
Il was present at the banquet myself
in the capacity Of reporter, and shortly
before the speechmaking began a wait
er handed me frantic note from my
friend saying he had brought the
wrong manuscript by mistake and beg
ging me to do something quick and
save him. He was sitting some dis
tance away on the other side Of long
table, and when / looked up he made
a wild gesture of entreaty.
81 am not particularly rapid writer,
and the sudden emergency, the excite
ment and one or two glasses Of cham
pagne punch had imbibed drove the
speech clear out Of my head. My mind
was a total blank, but I grabbed a
menu card and began to scribble on
the back. The speech was third on the
list so had to write against tins, and
great beads of perspiration rolled off
of my forehead as I stumbled along.
Whenever glanced at my patron he
motioned me to hurry.
'It was an awful ordeal, but I got
through with it somehow or other and
sent over the manuscript Just in the
nick of time. My man delivered It SO
indistinctly that nobody could under
stand him, and that accounts for the
enthusiastic applause 1t received. I
never dared read 1t in print"-New

Only Interest Taken by the
Women Voters
Is In Fifth Ward Where They're
HustIing For Gibbons.

Everything indicates Democratic
victory. ~
At1so'eloclS it was predicted by the
Republican campaign officials that the
Democrats would elect four out of the
six Councilmen and two Constables and
Justices Nv ~ pl
The vote was light in all the pre-
cincts. The Republicans have suffered
much more than the Democrats, how
ever, because of the failure of the vo-
ters to respond to the call.
Very few women have voted. They
have been out in force in only one
ward, the Fifth, there to help Col. I. c.
Gibbons, who for more than a month
has been making special effort to in
terest the women. In the other wards
not more than 50 have cast ballots.
Every man has voted on tho water
works question and it is generally be-
lieved that it will carry.
At the Republican primaries, a great
effort is being made by the machine to

in the world, and drawing the largest
salary ever paid to any minister iii
the United States, $4,000 annually. }
he is the editor of the Reform Advo-
cate and professor Of Semitic Ian
guages in the Chicago university.
DR.. Hirsch is a remarkable man,
being the first Jewish minister to
change the Saturday Sabbath to the
Sunday Sabbath, which day is observ-
ed In his church. He is fearless re-
former and his oratorical abilities are
wonderful. He possesses a personal
that is marvellous. An
earnest and deep scholar, ne holds the

His fame is known from ocean to
