GOSSIP OF CONVENTION
COMMITTEE WILL REPoRT
 CUBAN REsoLuTIoN
Consideration of Suffrage Articles will Probably Be Postponed for
 Some Time-Many Delegates
 Went Home Yesterday.

The Cuban resolution introduced into the Constitutional Convention by Mir. Ferguson of Jefferson, and referred to the Committee on Rules. it is under stood will be reported favorably to the Convention by the Committee today.
 It Is learned that there was some opposition to the resolution in the Committee, but under the leadership of President Knox the resolution went through and got q favorable report It is simply declaration of sympathy with the people of the country in their struggle for independence and 1t Is thought will not meet serious objection upon the floor of the Convention.
 There Is some desire among delegates to have the Suffrage Article considered by the Convention. If it Is allowed to takke the ordinary course and is not made a special order, 1t will probably be several days before 1t is reached. There are several other Articles ahead of 1t on the regular calendar. It has been unsuccessfully attempted several times to make 1t a special order for consideration on a day named. It is a fact that many delegates think that after they have disposed of the suffrage question that interest in the Conven- ton will wane and that in order to get through other important matters the Suffrage Article had better be put off as far as possible. There are others who take no stock in such an opinion and think that the sooner the Sunrage Article Is disposed off the bet ter for all concerned.
 There are but sixteen more working days or the Convention within the limit nxed by the enabling act, and there is not delegate who now even hopes time. '"1'
 It Is probable that the Article on Taxation will be concluded today.

In NaW Orleans.

New Orleans, July 4.-New Orleans started the century by celebrating the Fourth of July in most approved style. The display of bunting was lavish and fireworks were in evidence, and all business was suspended for the first time in years. There was a great free festival at City Park, with military fea- lures and patriotic speeches, and clerks, grocers, drummers, street rail- way men and others conducted large festivals. Even the baseball park was damned to see an amateur game.

THE RIVER TRAGEDY

The terrible explosion on the steam
boat City of Trenton is an accident
which may never be solved. There was
every reason to guarantee perfect safe
ty. She was a new boat, and had been
on the river a sufficient time to DEM
onstrate any faults of construction She
had been inspected in the usual man
ner. and her builders were a sufficient
guarantee OF good workmanship.
AS in all such cases, rumors are
thick. but so far there has developed
no reasonable explanation of the dis
aster Talk OF an over-pressure OF
steam and of racing is prevalent. bu
az is highly improbable that the boil
ers were forced beyond their capacity.
There will doubtless be a rigid investi-
cation into the matter, when the rea-
son for the explosion may be laid bare
but there is a probability that it may
forever remain a mystery, even as The
blowing up of the Maine.
Such disasters call attention to the
dangers of travel by water, but acct
dents. either on land OF sea, cannot al.
ways be foreseen. and il STATISTICS M.
be relied upon, one is safer on ship
board than any other place. The pity
that such disasters cannot be render
ed impossible; their horror is almost
beyond comprehension.

PLEA FOR GRAND OLD HYMNS
BEING SUPERSEDED RY IRA

There has been much in print lately
regarding the class of hymns so often
heard these days in what is presumed
to be sacred worship. There is a ten
,dency to popularize religion, at the ex-
,pense of that which is elevated and de-
,corus. In order to do this it may be
observed that in many religious meet
ings songs are sung which contain the
iveriest dOggerel, set to modified music
hall melodies.
To a layman it is not inspiring to
hear chorus shouting such absurd
lconglomerations as Throw Out the
Life Line. "Beulah Land" and only
an Armor Bearer" When the iingles
of such combinations rise and
fall there is a sort Of excitement pro-
duced. which is akin to that which
dominates the snake dancers, or the
voodoo victims of the South. But it is
not religion, since the result is excite
ment and not profound and reverent
feeling.
Were it not for the fact that the
writer knows many thoughtful and
conscientious people who sing these
bits of doggerel, the impression would
be that they are irreverent, and used
to cast slur upon the high things
which worship is supposed to inspire.
One cannot but ask what have be-
come of the grand old hymns, with in
Ispiring ideals and splendid music
(which were sung by our fathers!
why should they be succeeded by col
lections mostly of trash, which are
ground out daily by a press willing to
cater to pubic demand
For whatever hostile critics may say.
there are splendid poems in the older
hymnals accompanied by music that is
solemn and dignified, and in keeping
with the true idea of worship. Let
us name a few at random, "Rock o
Ages, " simple and powerful; "God
Moves in a Mysterious Way" full o
plendid imagery and elevated
thought; I'm the Cross of Christ
Glory" suited to the pealing organ
and the uplifted voice: Grown Him
Lord of All" and hundred others.
The hymn is different from any
other part of religious worship. 1t:
purpose is not directly theologi-

REGULAR EPIDEMIC
COLDS and HAY FEVER

Watering eyes, red noses and husky
voices are in evidence everywhere.
This state OF affairs may be due to hay
fever, or just to common, everyday
colds. There is an unusual prevalence
of both. which amount almost to an
epidemic.
The prevalence of the trouble is
mainly attributable to the recent sud-
den change in the weather; also to the
fact that the people are indiscreet in
the nature of their clothing. Most per-
sons are in the habit of wearing the
same sort of dress during the Summer
months, and give little consideration to
the necessity Of changing their ap-
parel according to the climatic condi-
tions. The last three or four evenings
have been extremely cool for this sea-
son Of the year, yet the writer saw a
number of girls and women riding in
street cars to the various resorts ad-
iacent to the city without outer wraps
of any description. The majority of
the feminine passengers wore fimy
whites. with thin laces and insertions,
low necked and short sleeved while
their escorts looked none too warm in
wooden coats and vests. IL is little
wonder that shop-keepers are having a
big rush for plain linen handker-
chiefs" while drug stores are doing a
land office business in various patent
remedies for coughs, colds and hay
fever
Many cases OF hay fever, IL is thought
are due to the fact hat number of peo-
lple arereturning from vacations in vari.
