Sentiment. Generally Commended.

Sentiments Generally Commended.
The recent interview with Lord Paunce-
fote in London relative to canal matters
and other things has attracted much at
tention officially, and it may be said that
generally the sentiments expressed meet
with CONNIE 1dation. 1t is realized officially
that Lord Pauncefote's position in England.
talking for publication, Is not precisely the
same as 1t would be In America, and when
allowance is made for this difference in
conditions 1t Is admit ed that the interview
very fairly sets out the present status of
the relations between the United States and
England.
The reference to the reconventfon of the
high joint commission next fall Is taken to
indicate willingness on the part of the
British government to yield to the Cana
dian demand for resumption of the sus-
pended meetings of this body Our own
government had concluded that better re-
suits were promised by direct negotiations
between Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce-
fote. but If the Canadian government pre-
fers to take up the threads of the nepotia-
tions where they were dropped by the com
missioners two years ago there will be no
objection on our part, for, of course, the
Canadians were fully advised. through the
last declaration OF the American commits
sioner, upon what terms negotiations might
be proftably continued, and will doubtless
reassemble upon that basis.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
WASHINGTON GROVE. July 1s, 1901.
Montgomery day at the w. c. T. U. camp
was a success, despite the high tempera-
ture. Mrs. Ella A. Boole state superin-
tendent of New York, gave Bible reading
at the initial service, 915ea.m m. At 1890 the
county convention was called to order by
the presiding officer, Mrs. Sarah T. Miller

nine local unions showing marked progress
along all lines Of departmental work. Sandy
Spring, the pioneer union Of the county,
was reported as having attained its major
ity since the last annual convention.
The report Of the treasurer, Mrs. Wether-
eld, showed a creditable surplus fund after
most liberal contributions to state work.
Upon motion of Miss Rebecca Miller, the
visiting White Ribboners were accorded all
the privileges Of the convention, save that
of voting. Seated among the accredited
delegates were Mrs. Chas. Shelton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Welles. all of Washington. D. c.
In her annual address before the conven-
tion Mrs. Miller referred to the seemingly
futile efforts Of the officials to stop the
Illicit liquor traffic. While deploring the
evasions of the law in several localities, she
voiced the sentiment Of the county w. C.
T. u. against resubmission OF the local
option law.
officers for the year were elected at this
meeting as follows: Mrs. g. 7. Miller of
Sandy Spring Unlon president; Miss Lula
Windsor of Darnestown Union, recording

Spring, corresponding secretary; Mrs A. M
Wethereld, treasurer; Mrs John Brew
er of Rockville, superintendent of sci
entifc instruction; Mrs. Tatum, evangel-
ical superintendent; Miss Annie Owens, su-
perintendent of Jail work.
A pleasing feature Of the afternoon serv-
ice was a solo, Under His Wings" rem
dered by Miss Ella Laurenson of Northeast
Washington. An innovation was introduced
at the afternoon service also. when Rev
John Van Ness of the Takoma Presbyteri-
an Church appeared before the convention
by request and addressed the body; "Op-
portunity and Responsibility was the top
ic discussed.
In the evening Mrs. Mary Haslup aroused
much enthusiasm as she eloquently retold
the story Of the twenty-five years Of strug-
fgle by the Maryland w. G. T. U.. Mr.. Jas
Dyre served as precentor at the evening
song service.
The condition of DR.. Peck has been rem
dered more serious by the intense humid
ity of the past few days. The bulletin is
sued last night by his physicians was not
so favorable.

Richard Mansfield in his revival Of King
Henry V. retains the character site fea-
lures Of this Shakespearean drama. One
of the most notable and unique elements
in Henry V. is Chorus who will appear
in the Mansfield presentation. By Chorus
is not meant the band of characters in
classic robes, who, in the Greek drama
intended an accompaniment to the the
atrical epics of the ancients; nor yet the
tripping band of men or maidlens who
distinguish our comic opera. Chorus in
Shakespeare is a person. This person
appears between the acts and annotates
the action describing what is taking
place in the entr' acte lapses. Chorus was
not an uncommon parsonage formerly,
but the office Of this character. If 50 it
may be called, gradually dwindled to the
recitation of a prologue and an epilogue,
which were finally given to players in the
action, and Chorus at last was entirely
without occupation. There are four in
stances only of Chorus in Shakes eare
In Winters Tale" before act four
Chorus appears in the person of Father
Time, who accounts for the lengthy lapse
of years since last the curtain fell.
Chorus without any other characteristic
designation appears after the first act
Of Romeo and Juliet in the text of
