cially the deliverance OF St. Bartholomew

Still another long Ethiopic prayer of this
kind is said TO have been uttered by the
virgin at Golgotha. and is full of these
mystical names. but 1 trust that 1 have
given enough of this material for illustra-
ton.
GNOsTICISM RESPONSIBLE.
Ideas of this kind seem TO have been in
troduced into the Christian Church mainly
by means of Gnosticism. which was prev
alently of Egyptian origin. And Gnosuelsm
left more traces in the world than is gen.
orally supposed. 1t was one of the main IN
spirations of medieval mysticism, magic
and astrology.
l shall have no time TO so into these, but
everyone knows how their main idea was
that of the possession of secret names or
formulas having great virtue. The name
gave over evil spirits, was pow
erful to transmute metals and to perform
the tasks Of alchemy. And contributing 10
this were ideas common to Judaism. Chris
tianity, Mohammedanism. indeed, the folk
lore and religions of all nations.
When Shakespeare said. what in a
name?" he said something that according
to enlightened twentieth century ideas was
obviously sensible, even trite. am not
sure that it was so plain when he said 1t.
AS we have seen, many men of different re-
ligions nave thought that there was every
thing in a name. Probably a great deal or
this superstition fingered in the Eliza
bethan age. Indeed, a good deal of 1t sur
wives yet. Half the world believes still that
some names are lucky and others unlucky.
A proof OF this is the fact that more boys
are called John than any other name
throughout the Christian world, and a still
larger proportion of girls are called Mary.
Every Christian nation likewise has its
favorite names. unless il be the United
States. which is absolutely cosmopolitan.
The custom of selecting names by lot, by
the burning of tapers, etc, which is still
not a little practiced, t~estifies to a linger-
ing belief in the virtue of names.
Yet an idea which has been so widely
received, and has so many forms as this
one of the mystic potency of names, can
not be altogether without some shred OF
truth TO support II. 1 fancy this truth
consists in the superiority of the ideal to
the actual, which all thinking men have
felt, and in their faith that there were
spiritual entities far more real than the
material, transitory things of earth.

Schroeder, the Governor

Dispatches have been received at the
May Department from Commander Seaton

the last of which is dated Agana, Febru-
airy 1.
my attention has been drawn to the
fact" says Governor Schroeder. that some
newspaper correspondent, with a fertile
imagination, has made the widespread
statement that on the day of the hurricane
here the governor Of Guam sought refuge
| with some others in the cellar of the pail
ace. There is no cellar to the palace nor
to any other building in Guam. 1t is per-
haps unnecessary for me to state that when
I reported that the officers here did their
duty did not exclude myself or any other
officer. Incidentally I may mention that

recommend that no steps be taken to send
any more unless I call for 1t. What little
I may need can be obtained from Manila
Il regret very much that such an inaccu-
rate forecast should have been made of

quent and at such long range, I would not
have been justified in the early days in

that 1t has not been without its effect upon

UNIFORMS OF NAVAL OFFlCERs.
Secretary Longs Response to O Sem
ate Resolution.

The Secretary Of the Navy today made
response to the resolution Of the Senate
making inquiry as to whether commissioned
officers promoted from the ranks are de-
barred the use of the uniform and other
privileges. He says:
Commissioned officers in the naval ser
vice promoted from the ranks are not de-
barred from privileges enjoyed by other
commissioned officers Of the navy, but they
are not given the use of some uniforms used
by certain other commissioned officers, Just
as the latter In one grade or corps are not
given the same uniform as others Of them
In another grade or corps.
There Is distinction getween the insignia
OF office of officers promoted from the ranks
and Of officers who have graduated from the
Naval Academy. just as there are d,stinc-
lions In the insignia of the latter officers
as, for instance, between a lieutenant and
civil engineer, because such distinction Is
necessary to indicate the grade of the serv-
Ice to which these officers belong by rea-
son Of their duties and their rank.
The distinction does not arise from the
question of whether the officer was pro-
NOTED from the ranks or Is a graduate Of
the Naval Academy"
The Secretary adds the following fnfor-
nation: THE department has In prepara-
ton and will issue about May q uniform
regulation book, showing all uniforms and
permitting officers promoted from the ranks
to wear certain insignia and uniform not
now worn by them, but which are permit
ted for other commissioned officers"

VOTE ON ELECTION BILL.
Dfsfranchisement Clause Passed by
the Maryland House.

Acknowledgement Clause Passed by
the Maryland House.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. a--.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, March 8.
The house of delegates today considered
ex-senator Germans disfranchisement bill,
and Mr.. Buckley, democratic member
from Frederick county. made a strong and
forcible argument against the principles
involved in the Acknowledgement law. Mr..
Buckley said that the proposed disfran-
chisement act was contrary to the state
constitution and every principle Of the
democratic party. He prophesied the down
the passage Of the bill and said that both
democrats and republicans were opposed to
the bill He warned the house they were
about to go too far: that the people aimed
at were. many of them, taxpayers and
good citizens, and that the legislature had
no right to take the proposed action: that
legislative tyranny and abuse of power
were as great an evil as military tyranny.
The democratic leader, Mr.. Wilkinson,
after Mr.. Buckeyes speech called for the
previous question, which stopped further
debate. and Mr.. Buckeyes amendment to
the bill was rejected, although several
democrats and all Of the republicans voted
in favor of 1t. The vote in the house in
favor of the disfranchisement clause was
so to &c.
The bill will not come up for final action
until next week

BRAVE BRITISH SAILORS.
The Navy Department Desires to Rec

Ever since the termination OF the Ameri-

the risk of their lives. leaped overheard

of the bank and towing her out OF the line
of fire. though not before three OF the
wounded in the boat had been killed In the

The department some time ago addressed
a letter to Secretary Hay, asking him to
call the attention of the British government
to this exceptional act Of bravery and hu-
manity, with view to bringing about some
sort OF recognition for the deed through
that channel, our government being with
out any authority for bestowing marks OF
recognition of sailormen of foreign navies.
The department still feels however. that 1t
has not quite exhausted itself in endeavor-
ing to provide for the men. and IL is prob
able that a special act of Congress will be
solicited to At this particular case.

SENATOR ALIENS STATUS,
1t Was Fixed by a Roll Call


Much curiosity was aroused today by the
action of Senator Hoar In demanding a roll
call on a motion for the Senate to go into
executive session when there was no oppo-
sition to the motion. The object of the
demand was to fix the status OF Senator
Allen of Nebraska. who holds his seat by
appointment OF the governor to fill a va
cancy. The question might be raised as to
whether. the Nebraska legislature being in
session, Mr.. Allen did not cease to be
senator on the 4th of March. The inclu-
sion of his name in a roll call of the Senate
would be recognition OF his continued title
as senator. and would be a guide to the
dlsbursing officer of the Senate.
There having been no call before during
the special session. Mr.. Hoar took occasion
to demand one. so as to make the record
clear. and Mr.. Aliens name was called to-
gether with the rest. his status being thus
