state Pensions.

The State board of pension examin-
ers has completed it's apportionment
of pensions for 1901 under the in
creased appropriation of $4,000 made
by the legislature, and submitted it's
report to Comptroller King.
The board considered 529 applica-
lions, of which 285 were rejected. One
hundred and seventy-five third-class, re-
ceiving $500 per year, were added.
Fifty-five were passed for further in
vestigation. Fourteen were recon-
mended to the Confederate Soldiers
Home, their principal disabilities hav.
ing been acquired since the war.
Three to ten applications per day
have been received since the legisla-
ture increased the appropriation.

The board could not issue a full
quarter to new pensioners, as the ap-

BosFdman Quits.

DR.. S. w. Boardman, for twelve
years president of Maryville College,
near Knoxville, has rendered his resig-
nation and left for Newark, N. j.,
where he will reside. 1t is believed
by some that his departure is due to
the conditions arising from the legis-
lature's act denying the co-education
of the races in Tennessee. Maryville
College is for whites and colored, and
DR.. Boardman was opposed to the
abolition of this system, while some
officials favored compliance with the
law. DR.. Boardman was inclined to
test the laws constitutionality in the
courts and claimed the trustees could
not cut off the negroes without violat-
ing some of the conditions upon which
certain endowments were granted.

VIII Favor a Deposit Law.

The recent failures of the Trades
and the Manhattan Fire Insurance
Companies has convinced Commission
er Folk of the necessity of a deposit
law to protect the insured against
false statements, and he will recon-
mend to the next legislature the enact
ment of such a law. The investigation
into the Manhattan company's affairs
by the receiver has developed that
false statements were sworn to and
prosecution has begun against the
company, charging grossly false state
ments as to its condition when it's cap
ital was impaired half million dol
lars, and with having paid over 10000
dividends last year, when there were
no funds from which dividends could
be legally paid. 1t was on these false
statements that the company was IL
censed. The insurance companies have
always fought all proposed deposit
laws in the Tennessee legislature.

New Australian Flag.

On September 3rd the new flag of the
Australian Federation was hotsted in
Melbourne in the presence of great
crowds. The flag, which was selected
from designs handed in by 10000 COM
petitors, is very beautiful one. 1t has
union Jack in the upper left hand
corner, the rest of the ground being
deep blue. Under the Union Jack is a
large white six-pointed star, to repre-
sent the six federated states of Aus
tralfa. On the right half of the flag
the southern cross is represented with
white stars. This design was selected
with an eye to history, heraldry, blaz-
onry, distinctiveness, utility and the
cost of making the bunting. The flag
is to be seen in the store of E. W. Jor-
dan on Fort street, having been brought
here by r. A. Jordan, who recently re-
turned from Australia on the Aorangi.

STODDARD'S TRIBUTE
TO FATHER DAMIEN
Booklet by the Poet-Author
About the Martyr
Priest.

In little booklet recently issued by a
local Catholic Society, Mr. Charles War
rem Stoddard gives a brief sketch of the
Martyr of Molokai" Born in a small
village in Brabant in 1910, he seemed
from earliest childhood to be predestined
| to the mission among the heather. Pow
erty and self-denial were dearer to him
IMAM all the temporal joys, and he longed
10 go forth and begin the works of mer-
! cy for which he felt God had prepared
him. At the age of four-and-twenty
fresh from the Seminary of Louvain. he
reached Honolulu, and for nine years
was stationed in Hawaii. One day being
present, as guest, at the dedication
OF chapel In Wailuku On the island of
Maui, he heard Bishop Maigret express
his sorrow that he had not missionaries
enough. SO that he might spare one for
care OF the suffering lepers of Molokai.
rather Damien Immediately offered his
services, and that very day started for
the leper settlement. Soon his whole
heart was in the work. He had neither
eyes nor ears for anything save the spir-
ltual and temporal welfare of his afflict-
ed people. For more than thirteen years
no trace Of the dread disease manifest

years longer he worked among the poor

on to wear the martyrs crown. His last
words We're: Il would not be cured if
the price of my cure was that | must

FOR the glory of God and the love of his

forgotten. Every one should read MIR.

- HERE is a combination of Jap
anese and Hawaiian color in the
paintings which are on exhibition
in the windows of the Pacific Hardware
Company which is so brilliantly done as
to attract instant attention, and upon
investigation proves to be of such per-
feet truth as to hold the interest. The
work is that of Theodore Wores, and
there are half dozen of the views on
exhibition, three from each land.
The Hawaiian subjects are so chosen
as to bring into prominence perhaps the
most striking of the many flower bear
ing trees, the Poinciana Regia. The first
subject is taken from Ainahau, the
home of Gov. Cleghorn. 1t represents a
corner of the garden where the tree
spreads over a large area, branching
out gloriously and showing it's spikes
of bright hued flowers in a broad
canopy. In this there is a most realis-
tic touch, which reproduces the bright
shades with clearness, and so combines
the reds and the greens as to give the
natural impression which is left by the
tree in itself. Another view of the
same scarlet blossoms is taken from
a point in the High school grounds. In
this there is a smaller shrub used as
the foreground of the painting and the
result is the production of most i'm
pressive piece of still life work. Espe-
ciaIly is the color work of interest, in
that the reproduction of the reds is
handled in a manner which gives a
broad idea of the shades which Turk
about the depths of the spreading
branches of these trees.
The third subject taken by the artist
is a view Of a gateway at Ainahau,
where the shades which gather ser!e
to throw into brighter relief the vines
and flowers which overrun the entrance.
Off in the background lie the noun
tains, masses of shadow in the bright
ness of the fairgrounds sunshine. In
this as in the other there is an appre-
ciative touch given to the colors which
make the reproductions most home
seeming in addition 10 the purely artis-
tic effects.

collection of Japanese subjects. and III
these the handling of the lights will
be most remarked. The most perfect
perhaps is the picture showing group
of women descending a series of steps
laden with branches of cherry. each
covered with the bright blossoms. There
is most effective combination of color,
in the dressing of the figures and the
arrangement of the flowers. all produc
ing a colorful result, which indicates the
rare skill of the artist in the handling
and combination of the pigments. The
next is of no less artistic or popular
/ interest, the scene being almost the
same, but the time that of the peach
blossom festival. There is a deeper
touch in the blossoms, shade of
warmth lying in the flowers which are
as plentifully strewn and carried
/ by the gaily clad women. Taken to-
gether the two are full of interest to a
student or one interested in the Jap
anese festivals.

seated on a mat, arranging flowers in a
vase. This is a teacher of the art of
flower arrangement, for there is no art
more cultivated in Japan, and nothing
which gives to the expert such pleas
ant task as the teaching of the proper
distribution of colors to make the per-
| feet display. There is a warmth of
color in the gown of the teacher, the
vase and the blossoms with which she
is working, which makes of the little
thing a most attractive piece of charac-
t ter painting, while, as well, there is an
| ideality in the simple composition
which makes it worthySa place in any
collection.
| In the room above stairs in the same
store there is displayed a portrait of
Col. w. F. Allen, in which Mr.. Wores
has carried out the high class of por-
| traiture which has marked the previous
examples of his art. The portrait is in
most excellent drawing, but is of high
est value perhaps in the coloring. In
this particular alone the head would be
remarked. The lights are eXcellently
managed and altogether there is the
same dignity and repose of manner
which is noticeable in other work of
Mr. Wores.

They thought of a spirit as brave as

And they bore him up to a lonely
height,
And they laid him there, where he
loved to be,
On a mountain gazing Ger the sea!
They thought of soul aflood with
song
And they buried him where, the sum-

Myriad birds his requiem sing,
And the echoing woods about him
ring!
They thought of love that life re-

OF heart the home of perfect dreams.
And they left him there, where the

In the sunrise glow and the sunset fire.

CHURCH POLICE,

London Mail: 1t is not generally known
that the Metropolitan Tabernacle and at
the City Temple men in uniform are en-
plOyed who perform similar duties to
those of tho ordinary policemen. At
Spurgeon's Tabernacle there are two po-
icemen and their uniforms are very SIM
liar to that of the ordinary men in blue"
but the officials at the City Temple are
dressed more like the functionaries at
the Mansion house.
The policemen at the Tabernacle are
required to regulate the crowds Of wor-
shippers and to avoid all brushes. Now
and then they are called upon to eject
unruly persons and to prevent such gain
ing admittance. but duties of this char
acter are both few and far between Con-
trary to general belief the men have no
authority outside the Tabernacle, and If
a pickpocket was caught redhanded at
his work inside the building he would
only be taken to the gates and handed
over to the first policeman that came
along outside, or be detained inside the
building until official assistance arrived
Other big places OF worship in the prov
inces as we'll as in London have ordinary
policemen on special duty. 1t is much
cheaper to pay these fees than to keer
regular men all the year round. THESE
chapel BEATS" are naturally very popu'
lar, and as lucrative as they are novel.
