Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
spent almost five hours Monday in ex-
ecutive session considering the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. There were five or
six speeches made, some of them by
senator's who had previously expressed
themselves. Among the latter was
Senator Morgan, who returned to his
former speech, celebrating somewhat
his position as to the effect of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. He took issue with
Senator Teller as to the purport of the
first clause of that treaty, claiming
that 1t applied only to Great Britain's
right to fortify the Nicaragua canal it.
self.
Senator Teller proceeded to again
elaborate his views upon the general
subject, repeating his declaration that
the United States should construct the
canal If at all regardless of the English
position and without going through the
formality Of ratifying the pending
treaty. During the day speeches were
made by Senators Money, Stewart,
Frye and others. Senator Stewart an
nounced that he was for the treaty
without amendment, and Senator
Money that he was against the treaty
in any form. The possibility Of secre-
tary Hay resigning in case the foreign
relations committee amendment to the
treaty should prevail having been al
luded to, Senator Frye said he was in
position to make official denial of that
report. The secretary had no such in
tention. Senator Frye announced him
self as favorable to the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty.

JEFFERSON A MONSTER.
BY JOHN 7. ALBRITION, in N. C. Baptist.

about 1916, | reproduce a part OF an
article taken from the Christian
Waterman and written by DR.. Fish
back, of Lexington, Ky.
''Mr. Editor:-The following cir
cumstance which occurred in the State
of Virginia, relative to Jefferson,
was detailed to me by Elder Andrew
Tribble about Six years ago.
Andrew Tribble was the pastor of a
small Baptist Church which held its
monthly meetings at a short distance
from Mr.. Jefferson's house, eight or
ten years before the American Revo-
luton. Mr.. jefferson attended the
meeting of the church for several
months in succession, and after one of
them asked Elder Trihble to go
home and dine with him, with which
he complied.
Mr.. Tribble asked Mr.. Jefferson how
he was pleased with their church gov
eminent. Mr.. Jefferson replied that
it had struck him with great force,
and had interested him much; that
he considered it the only form of
pure democracy that then existed in
the world, and had concluded that it
would be the best plan of govern
ment for the American colonies. This
was several years before the Declara-
| ton of Independence Reynolds
Church Polity, p. 227.
May 20, 1906, the Chowan Baptist
Association of North Carolina sent to
President Jefferson a long letter
Astounding in expressions of gratitude,
affection and confidence. The sigma
lures of Lemuel Burllitt, clerk. and
George Outlaw, moderator were APP
pended to it.
Jefferson replied June "a, 1906.
Among other things he said:
The happiness which our country
enjoys in the pursuits of peace and
industry ought to endear that cause
to all it's citizens and to kindle their
hearts with gratitude to the Being
under whose providence these bless
ings are held. We owe to him special
thanks for the right we enjoy to wor-
ship him, every one in his own way.
BE SO kind as to present my thanks
to the churches of your association,
and assure them of my prayers for the
continuance of every blessing to them
now and hereafter; and accept your
self my salutations and assurances
OF great respect and consideration.
9TH. JEFFERSON.
Mr.. George Outlaw"
| repeat, when l read these express
sions indicating belief in God, graft
itude to him. trust in his providence.
and looking up to him in solemn
prayer, and when / see the strong
bond of abiding confidence and affec-
ton uniting this great man and his
Baptist fellowcitizens, the conduct of
our Baptist forefathers was unac-
countably strange. Yea, the conduct
of Thomas Jefferson was equally
strange. if indeed he was a monster,
displaying contempt for all churches,
and speaking unexpectedly of the
ministry in general. Really, it's the
biggest puzzle I've ever. seen.

being the first man in the history of the
United States to make a personal an
nouncement as candidate for President
before his friends even signed the common
announcement that the many friends of
the admiral had announced him. Let no
Democrat be led into the idea that simply
because he is loved as a soldier and a
war hero and sunk the ships of a defunct
nation that he can defeat Mckinley
easier than Bryan. Every reading man,
woman and child in America knows what
Bryan stands for, and has seen him ac-

They have rewarded them this time in

to do this is to slaughter Dewey by hav-
ing him sacrifice the highest place in
the hearts of the people. Dewey has
come too late, and broke his charm at
the first fire of the gun. The handwrit-
ing is on the wall. Mckinley has read it,
and Bryan is the leader of the hosts that
will wipe out the disgrace to which the
constitution has been subjected by the
hosts of Belshazer, desecrating the sacred

DR.. kilgO is said to have stated that
Jefferson was a monster. A leading
editor of the State says that Jefferson
"dsplayed contempt for all churches
and spoke disrespectfully OF. the min
istry in general"
These are strong statements. They
may be true. If this language fifty
describes him as he was from 1776 to
his death. the high esteem in which
he was held by the Baptists of Nir-
ginia and North Carolina. and their
confidence in. and demeanor towards,
strange.
He, along with Patrick Henry and
James Madison. stood shoulder to
shoulder with the Baptists of Virginia
in their persistent warfare against
the union of church and state in the
Old Dominion
The first law passed by the General
Assembly of Virginia eNempting dis
senting societies from compulsory
support of the Episcopal clergy was
prepared partly by Jefferson, and
passed during October, 1916. accord
ing to the testimony of Semple and
Benedict. This was accomplished in
SDltG Vi at SlIOllS HltHlDlIdl OI iIit
Episcopal clergy, and petition from
the Methodists praying that the
church of England, as it ever hath
been, may continue to be the estab-
lished church,
Later an effort was made to pass
the General Assessment Bill for the
support of the Episcopal ministry.
Virginia Baptists demonstrated and
petitioned against the bill. "A me-
mortal and remonstrance" drawn up
by James Madison, and petitions from
the Baptists Of every part of Virginia
against the Assessment Bill put an
end to compulsory support of religion
in the State.
Upon ,Jefferson's retirement from
the presidency, many Baptist bodies
in Virginia sent him congratulatory
addresses conveying their esteem. af-
lection, and confidence. The follow
ing letter to the Buck Mountain Bap-
fist Church is a fair sample of his
replies:
Monticello, April 10. 1909.
Il thank You, my friends and
neighbors, for your kind congratulate
tions on my return to my native home,
and of the opportunities it will give
me Of enjoying, amidst your affections
the comforts of retirement and rest.
Your appreciation of my conduct is the
more valued as you have best known
me, and is an ample reward for any
services / may have rendered. We
have acted together from the origin
to the end of memorable revolution.
That our social intercourse
may, to the evening OF our days. be
cheered and cemented by witnessing
the freedom and happiness for which
we have labored will by my constant
prayer.
Accept the offering of my affection
ate esteem and respect.

HOW HOPPER STRUCK LONDON.

De Wolf Hopper is back from Lon
don and will appear at the Academy
of Music, Wednesday, May End, in
Sousa and klein's ''The Charlatan,
with his entire London cast. Hopper
went abroad to stay six weeks; but
he remained nine months. This is
rather strong evidence of the extent
of the comedians success. The Eng
fish were a little slow to grasp Hop
per's peculiar style of fun, much as
they enjoyed his fine voice. But \
complete appreciation Of the come
dian soon followed. The English
comedian and the American are not
at all alike; they are as much unlike
as a hore and an OK. When you are
accustomed to the OK the horse may
seem odd and unsuited. 1t is curious,
to compare the first and subsequent
opinions of Hopper in some of the p:
pers. The Telegraph" critic said,
for example, after seeing Hopper for
a second time: 1.-The fir.t time | saw
De Wolf Hopper l thought him as ur
funny as a doctors bill; the second
time / allowed that he wasn't really
more deadly than a comic paper, now
Il make bold 10 subscribe myself
amongst his converts 1t was Hop
per's speeches, however, that took
from the very start. icy applauded
his fine singing, they roared with hill
arious applause over hrs speech, and
finally accepted him rs the drollest
individual seen on the London STAGE
for a decade. The thoroughbred had
eclipsed the bovine come uian.
Thea1tre-goers of this city will be
keen to see the little girl, Jessie Mae
kay, who made such fine impression
in London. So many glowing encomi-
ums were poured upon the head Of
this wee Wisp of a comedienne that
much is expected from her. A sample
OF the sort of praise melted out to til
little American girl is the following
from the London Globe: "There is
one good thing that De Wolf Hopper
has brought us besides himself, and
that is the American girl. The intel
hgence and viyacity of the 'Charlatan'
chorus is enormous; but Hopper has
a further trump, in addition to that
advantage, in the person of the smart
est, sprightliest, daintiest 'soubrette'
have ever seen. This little girl.
jessie Mackay, is as bright and crisp
as the new morn snow, so to say.
light and clean as the foamy surf that
the wind sewers from the broken wave
-tWlnkllng as the mornings tremui-
Gus gems of balmy dew; swift as the
flash OF clear blade in the sun, AMI
has chances that shoot and ilumin-
ate like the sudden CLEANS that glow
through autumn clouds. There is not
a touch of 'winky" coarseness or vuI-
garity about her. She trips through
her part with the serenity and
etherealness Of little smiling sun.
In short. Jessie Mackay is an artist"

SHAVING A DEAD MAN.
A Job That Occupied an Impecunious

A Job That Occupied an Impecunious
Artist About a Week
uaVgss
New Orleans Times Democrat.)
Il have just finished shaving a dead
man. said a local artist. "The job oc-
cupied me about a week and"-"Good
heavens?" calculated a Mortified friend,
what dye mean?" Don't be alarmed
replied the artist calmly. 1.-The operation
was not as repulsive as you may imagine.
In fact, | performed it with a brush. You
see, certain family of my acquaintance
have a large painting of the head of the
house, who departed from this vale of
tears some time in the early eighties.
At the time the portrait was made he
wore a full beard, which was contrary to
his usual custom, and the family who re-
membered him best. with a smooth face,
have been anxious ever since to get off
the whiskers. l was engaged to shave
the portrait, and hard times and ap-
preaching rent day persuaded me to ac-
cept the commission, which, needless to
say, was highly antipathetic to my ar
tistc instincts.
Il had to depend entirely on the recol-
lection of the family for my data, and I
found, to my alarm, that each member
had retained a different impression of
the old gentlemans chin. One claimed
it was double and another insisted that it
was sharp and clean cut; daughter de-
scribed it as square and determined
and the widow assured me privately that
it was shaped like the prov of an armor-
ed cruiser Altogether found myself in
a deuce of a fix. 1t was no trouble to
take off the whiskers; I did that in three
fell swoops; but when l blocked out the
jaw eXperimentally and called in the
crowd for suggestions, there was a grand
chorus of protest. Strange to say, I
pleased nobody, and have been correct
ing, amending, remodeling and doing it
all over again ever since. One point of
dispute was the location of a wart, which
half the family said was on the left and
half on the right. l finally effected COM
promise by painting in two warts, one on
each side. l got my fee all right, but be-
fore l take another tonsorial job I'll go
to driving trolley car"
