GARDEN OF EDEN EoR RENT.
The British Government Offers hs
seychelles for Lease.

The British Government Offers he
Seychelles for Lease.
Somebody, having the price and being
so disposed, may take long term
lease on the site of the Garden Of
Eden. The British government Of the
Seychelles In the Indian Ocean has
given notice that bids will be received
for periods of nine, twenty-one and
thirty years on the islands Of the Aida
bra group proper, the Cosmoledo group,
and the islands of Astoye and Assump-
ton. AS to just which one of the isl
ands was the home of Adam and Eve,
however, the man who takes the lease
must determine.
According to travellers almost any of
these islands might easily fill the fanci-
full conditions that may have existed
with the first man. There every pros
pect pleases," and on many Of the ISL
ands there are no men to be vile. The
lessee of these islands will take them
for purely commercial purposes, but
their settings are considered TO be ideal
for dreamer or painter.
Fixing upon the Seychelles group as
having contained the site of Eden. the
archaeologist has had little more to
guide him than has one who chose the
South Sea Islands. The four quarters
of the globe have been settled upon by
one or another as the place of this gar
den described in Genesis, but in the
Seychelles selection the beauties of the
islands have been emphasized as lend
ing color to the belief
There are eighty of these in the gem
eral group, having an area of about 102
English square miles. OF these eighty
islands only eighteen are inhabited.
They rise from bank, submerged from
ten'to forty fathOms, and lie almost on
the equator, in the blue of the Indian
Ocean. Alden. on the Suez Canal, is
1,4OO miles northwest, and Zanzibar is

The death of Sir Arthur Sullivan
caused more genuine sense of loss, to
a greater number of people, than would
have been felt If a dozen men whose
place in history may be higher than his
were to end their lives together. His
work was many-sided in Il field where
the emotions are stirred and exceeding
pleasure is given to those who are for
tunate enough to have a natural joy
in music. If the author of songs like
"The Lost Chord" hymns such as "On-
ward, Christian Soldiers" and an ora
torio of the merit of THE Light of the
World" had never produced any oper-
attic music he would still have left a
deep impression upon a host of adj
mirers. But IL Sir Arthur Sullivan's
only contribution to the art of his times
had been his delightful and sparkling
operas he would deserve for that alone
very wide and sincere admiration and
honor. 1t would be hard to overesti-
mate the direct and indirect effect for
good of such work as Patience" pin
afore," 1.-THE Mikado," 1.-THE Pirates Of
Penzance," and others less popular
but not in all cases less admirable
They did much to lead other composers
up to cleaner, better work than had
been done in light operas. They set a
fashion which was altogether for the
good OF the stage and a strong force
on the side of sound public morals. II
Is only necessary to compare the best
OF the operas for which Sir Arthur
Sullivan furnished the music and W.
S. Gilbert the librettos with most Of
the earlier works OF the same general
field to understand how cleansing, sa-
luxurious, and beneficial the work Of
that great team of Opera-makers
was. They have affected the musical
taste and morals of millions of play
goers Of their time and for the better.
That is a good title to lasting honor.
SO vast number of people who have
never ceased to hope for more delight
full surprises like "PinafOre" and "The
Mikado" win deeply and keenly regret
the death Of the best known British
composer OF this generation. 1t is a loss
to many countries, for Sir Arthur Sui
livan's music was much enjoyed in
Germany, Italy, and other European
lands, as we'll as wherever English Is
the mother tongue of nations. 1t
leaves a void not easy to fill. and there
is no present promise Of any worthy
successor in his most distinctive lines
of work.

this action was felt at once. All the

SERMON TO NEGROES.
Rev. McGili Tells Them They Are Re-
 sponsibie for Their Condition.

Meridian, Miss, July 11.-(Special.) .)-Rev. McGill, the negro editor of Birmingham, told some truths to his negro oongrega- tion in West End last night. His lecture appears to have been a collection of hard facts concerning the past, present and fu- lure of the negro race. He told his hear CTS that so long as they gave up lying, cursing, gambling and immoral acts, or so long as they countenanoed these things in their neighbors or associates. just so long might they expect to remain down the ladder in public estimation and in character building. He told those before him that the negro had no one to blame for his present condition, but himself. He reminded them that slavery had been dead nearly forty years, that the various States of the South had provided free public in- struction. that generous white people had offered to assist them in church building, and that with all these advantages many of them had drifted into a lower state of morality and common honesty than was ever the case during the days when their white superiors had direct control of their habits.

Those who suffer from stomach, blood, kidney or nefvious troubles should bear in mind an important fact about Dr. liar ters Iron Tonic; that is that this remedy has been largely used dor forty-five years. Once in a while some absolutely perfect compound is discovered. This Is one of them, and affords ample proof of the learning and wisdom of pr. Harter. True, modern methods of preparing 1t are used, it is now made in one of the finest laboratories in the world, but in all essentials it is precisely the same as when first made by Dr. Harter nearly a half a century ago. How many other remedies have grown in favor, or even survived, for that length of time?
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is more than a tonic; it is a blood maker and life renewer. It stim- .ulates the repair of the body and 1t sup ;plies something to repair with.
 All building or healing of the body de- bends on an abundance of blood that Is rich in iron. Nowhere, except in Dr. .Harter's Iron Tonic, can you get the De- sculiar form of iron that Is all ready to

Supreme Lodge Is Still Investigating
 Charges of Mismanagement.

Chicago, July 1.-The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which has been in session here considering charges of mismanagement by the board of control of the endowment rank, today declded that the most ex- pedient way of meeting the deficiency of S500,00 in the treasury was to raise the insurance rate to the maximum prescribed by the national fraternal congress. If in this way money is not quickly enough forthcoming 1t Is like ly that special assessment of 50 cents will be put on every member of the order for the benefit of the endowment rank. This movement would speedily raise $250,000. The board of control will continue to investigate the affairs of the endowment rank pursuant to resolutions adopted yesterday. The only immediate action which will be taken will be the institution of fore closure suits In an endeavor to rescue as much as possible the money said to have been carelessly invested by J. A.

The Irish Woman in America

On the recent occasion of the consecra- tion of the great cathedral of St. Bunan Letherkenny, diocese of Raphoe, County Donegal Ireland. Archbishop Keane, for merly rector of the Catholic University, Washington. and now archbishop of the diocese of Dubuque, made In his eloquent address, an interesting reference to the emigration of the Irish women to Ameri- ca Speaking of the evils of Irish emi- grafton, he safn:
 ''I have hoard 1t said that of late emil grafton from Ireland is specially an emil grafton of young women. The young women go to America because they have a better chance there than they have at home. That is natural. People will na- turaIly go where they have the best chance, and they say that the young women go rather than the young men, because the chance of the young woman today is better than that of the young men in America. There is a great deal of truth in that. Unfortunately, in Amer lea we are rather overstocked with hands and arms. There is more arms in America today than there is work for them to do."
 Then touching a more serious vein, Archbishop Keane cried:
 "Ah, this is the saddest of all thoughts: Why do our Irish girls go to America? Because Irish boys at home have not the means they ought to have to make them comfortable wives. And why should that be the case? Two things I clearly see have to be done in Ireland. First of all. we have to develop Irish industries-and my heart has been made glad by what the bishop of Raphoe has told me about the development, for instance, of the weaving industry. which is giving em- ployment to thousands of young men, every one of whom can say to a fine Irish girl: Stay at home: don't go to America; will take care of you"
 At the close of Archbishop Keane's ad- dress, Bishop O'Donneii, thanking him. said:
 Tn this diocese of Raphoe, we owe a great deal to America, especially in con- nection with the building of our new ca thedral, but the greatest service that America has rendered us is having sent us the archbishop of Dubuque. Ap- plause) It was worth the while of the great archbishop to cross the waves to preach that sermon today, and as long as he lives, and even when he dies, grati- tude for that service will be green in this land of Tirconnaill"
