QUEER NAMES OF SOME FLATS
Do They Afect the Characters of Those
 Who Dwell Within7

aAs for me- ventured the man with the wooden head, T cant indorse your views. You lay claim that our apart ment- t-house-our flat-nomenclature, as given expression in Chicago, is too airy. too exalted, too fancifui. On the contrary it is not the one nor the other nor the last of these. You say. Here; a man lives in the Santa Maria. He comes home with Saturday night tolerance of feeling for all men. He is willing to sleep on the grass in the ln- ner court. He is even ready to lndorse the views of the janitor--to carry the white mans burden for the. o1T-scour- ing of our social system. Then, yoe say, into what unhappy contempt does he bring name conveying such ten derness as does Santa Maria? My con- l tention is that is all wrong with the decency of the man and all right with , the name of the apartment-bulldlng. The Abbotsford, you say. Great Seotti can man live up to that? Can l he dwell always upon the pinnaeles or romance while stufing cheese and beer
 
 1 to the idea of dwelling in the compan- ! ionship Of fatted knights, who rescue l distressed maidens when at his daily business he has to haggle over the sale price of a pair of pants and to figure with the girl who brings him his lunch upon the relative merits of eorned beef hash and chicken wing pUree with rice?' While you are right in part, you are wrong in most. All of us admit 1 that the sentimental atmosphere sur- rounding man makes for much in his daily conduct. I say that it makes for everything. If I live in the Wash ingfon' don't you perceive I am going to be higher, deeenter. cleaner, more devoted citizen than I would be if I lived in the Aaron Burr?' There is a standard set for me; if I am half hon. est to my environment I must try to attain it. Don't you suppose that 2 resident of the John B. Cough flats will pay more taxes in the end than the dweller in 'Baechante' apartments? :? Wouldn't your chest expansion be greater on the twelfth floor of the sMastodon' than in the parlor suite of the Little Jennie?' Some names. of course, are i'll chosen and comparative ! 1y meaningless. I do not myself like to see a twenty-foot front. story-and- a-half bit of brick and mortar called the Pantheon, nor a nest amid a world of downtown stories called the Plaza del Mesa del Virginia, but. gen orally speaking, there Is a good deal in name, in fat name, Shakes peare notwithstanding
 Now would you prefer to live in the Otis or the 'Aguinaldo?' asked one of the carpers. Lest I incriminate myself" said the original speaker, T decline to answer. Come up with me ] to the House of David and will see what can be done to remove this dust. Chicago Chronicle.

eritisa Ears Row Against Ma,av.

In the harbor at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, the other day, an interesting boat race was held, a crew of British blueiackets being pitted against some Malay fishermen. The five seamen who represented the British navy were se- leeted from the crew of the cruiser Doris, the flagship Of Rear-Adniral Sir Robert H. Harris, one of the smartest admirals of the navy. and now in con- mand of the Cape Of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa squadron. If the seamen thought they were going to have a walkover they were greatly mistaken. The Malays gave them a good race; sometimes the naval men led, and then again the ATalays would overtake them. Toward the finish. however. the seamen obtained a tae- teal advantage and managed to win with about dozen lengths to spara
 The Term of Life.
 Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the full term of life" for man, and other mammals, based upon the theory that there is a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length Of life. Accident, dis ease and so forth. have to be eliminat- ed from the calculation. According to these tables. only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term, namely. the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about go years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity. come the camel and the Arabian horse, whose term Of life is about 42 years.

From r.nrone to America.

The success of wireless telegraphy between France and England has awakened much speculation as to the praeticability of using the same sys- tenn between Europe and America. Mir. Marconi is modestly non-committal on the subject, but believes that it may ultimately be practicable. Towers from 1000 to 1.500 feet high. with cer- tain lengths of wire netting to catch the current and make the circuit, would be required, and even then he does not assert that success would be achieved. The next test of the sys- tenn will be between New Haven Eng land, and Dieppe. France, distance of Fl miles.

week the counsel for Nelson again di-
rected their main fight along the line of
the charter making the question of the
courts jurisdiction subordinate
The decision which Judge Searle rem
dered in the case Saturday was to quash
the writ and deny the relief sought there
from. In his notes the court states that
a license to sell liquor Is merely "per-
sonal privilege to do that without which
II would be an unlawful act The
license, he holds, is in no wise a contract
The court itself held that the hearing
OIL this case was beyond the limits of its
jurisdiction unless the provision of the
city charter authorizing the mayor to re-
woke licenses is valid and confers upon
the mayor at least quasi judicial powers
the mayor was ministerial one per-
formed in his administrative capacity.
A great deal of local interest has been
aroused by this case. 1t may yet lead to

prominent attorneys here have affirmed
is not substantial

ONE OF TRICKS ATTORNEYS
MAKES A STATEMENT.

PHILADELPHIA, May 6-Tn c1nnea-

brought by II. G. Frick and his asso-
ciates against the Carnegie Interests At
torney John l.. Johnson, of this city. VIII J
was associated with counsel for Mr.
tnck, submitted to an interview today
IN which he corrected statements that
have been published regarding the alleged
ambiguous position occupied by David #.
watson, of Pittsburg. Mr.. johnson said:
The two suits brought in the common
pleas OF Allegheny county, Pennsylvania
by ii. G. Frick and others against the
carnegie Steel company and others, were
formally discontinued Yesterday They
involved large amounts of money AID
many novel and interesting questions,
which l must decline to discuss, but I
desire to call attention to a serious mis-
representation which some one circulated.
In various newspapers OF this and other
states 1t has been said that ATTORNEY Da-
Vid L. Watson, of Pittsburg drew the
lron-clad agreement of 1887 for Carnegie
Bros. & Co., limited. and endeavorel in
so acting to show that the agreement
which he had drawn was Illegal This is
wholly untrue
Mr.. Watson agreed 10 act with Mr..
McCook and myself on behalf of Mr..
Frick, only on condition that the validity
of the 1887 agreement should not be at
tackled Mr. Frick did not desire, nor
did we in our bill, nor did we intend to
in the trial, attack the validity of that
agreement.
"on the contrary, admitting the valid
lty OF that agreement when made, Mr..
Watson and ourselves thought and ad-
vised that, owing to a series of events
beginning in 1892 and including the new
agreements of 1892 and 1897, with which
Mr.. Watson had nothing to do, the con
tract of 1887 had been reseinded and aban-
doned and was not insforce In 1900 and
for these real objections none of which
touched the validity of the contract of
1887, that Mr.. FIick's interest could not
as attempted, be taken at book value.
I'VE preferred to let this appear on the
trial Of the case, as it would surely have
done.
AS the discontinuance of The suits de-
prives us of that opportunity, l think 1t
proper to state the truth as we all know
1t to be. The facts are Just as l have
given them

Rev. NJ. D. Hardin, pastor of Andrew
Presby terian church, yesterday preached
upon the subject of creed revision He
took the position of radical and asked
for an entirely new creed rather than a
patchwork of the thought of the present
time and that of three centuries ago In
the course of his address he said:
ENTIRELY NEW CREED NEEDED.
We need not a revised creed. but a new
creed, made upon fundamentally differ
ent pattern from the one our fathers
uSeu; made with a different purpose in
view. Ihe confessions of faith for the
purpose OF excluding persons of certain
pelle1s, formed in order that Calvinists
ana Armlnlans might be separated from
one another. These questions of theology
which rent the church into warning fac

schoIastic debates about how many an

that sanity Christian souls may differ
upon such questions without one being

quantities may agree if their hearts he

only hereuc one who in his daily life sins
against the love of God and the law of life:
Greco winch emphasizes the fatherhood
or God, the brotherhood of man: a creed
taken rather from the sermon on the
mount than from the speculations and
pmiosophies Of the fathers.
We want a creed true to Christ vet
broad enough and elastic enough to hold

diverse elements which today are found
IN our church; a creed to every word Of

CHICAGO. May 6.-The report of the
constitutional committee of the Metho-

of John Wesley. The episcopacy may be
abandoned and other constitutional fea-

he has done in the past, but Methodism
will not accept any departure from the

for the tenets of Methodism is found in

provision is as follows:

of two-thirds of all the members of the
