London. June s.-tCopyrieht. 1901. by the

signs Germany may have toward possessing
the Island Of Margarita, Venezuela. the

stage where the United States Government

After half an hours conversation with

Bayond the semioficial disclaimer. &C.
cording to reports which he has read I'm the

had no knowledge of any kind. ohicial or
otherwise. that the subject had ever been
even mentioned in Official correspondence
between the two Governments Of the United
States and Germany.
1T il no unusual thing" he said. "to see
foreign warships taking ~soundings along

cruiser vineta was simply doing in a harbor
Of the island Of Margarita hat British

the waters of the South American countries.
THE first ground for suspicion that Ger
many intended something in the way Of

German capitalists were acquiring lands
surrounding tho harbor where the German

Still. I do not wish to be understood As say

I merely mention the coincidence. which

Suppose Germany should offer to buy
outright the island Of Margarita, how

That 10 a phase OF the question which
has never yet been RAISED officially. Until
such dificulty should arise I hardly think
II wise to discuss It," was the diplomatic
answer.
Are not the people Of vsnesuela As
strongly attached to the Monroe Doctrine
as the people Of the United etatssr"
They were: that II to say. about the
time Of President Cleveland's historic mss-
sage. But since then there has been the
Spanish war: and. for various reasons.
racial and otherwise. popular sentiment has
naturally been subjected to considerable
change toward the United States. Hence. II
may be quite possible that negotiations be-
tween the Venezuelan and German Govern
ments might he in progress without the
United States being cflcially cognisant. I
say possible not probable The disclaim-
er on the part Of Germany would be evil
dence to the contrary"

Nine. Sarah Bernhard. who is now play
ing At Her Majesty's Theater. having heard
so much about the magnificence Of the I'M
pertal. made the request the other day Of
Mrs. De Bathe that she might como to see
tho house.
This the great actress did yesterday after
noon She had tea with Mrs. De Battle.
who saw her around the house. with which
Nine. rnhard was enraptured. She said
she had visited many of the finest theaters
In the world. but had never seen such a
magnificent and finely appointed house.
She asked Mrs. Ds Battle that. when she
returned to London. she might appear
there. In fact. she went so far as to say
she would not appear anywhere else.
Therefore. 1t may be taken for granted
already that when Nine. Bernhardt comes
again to London II will be on the stage OF
the Imperial Theater that she will play.
THREATENED CITRATE FAMINE.
The future of the Church of England
does not look very rosy. threatened as ii
Is with something like n curate famine.
According to what the Reverend Paul Petit.
secretary of the ordination and candidates
fund. says. there has been a very serious
diminution In the number admitted to holy
orders. this In face of the rapid growt
Of population.
This condition Of affairs Is largely owing
to tho decrease in values of benefices.
which has resulted from the fall in the
price Of corn. and consequently in the rent
Of land Thus, parents hesitate in recon-
mending their sons to study for the
church.
Young men may readily obtain curacies.
but they may grow old without obtaining
preferment. and the older they get the less
their value as curates. Thus men who be-
gin life full of hope may find themselves
in painfully precarious positions in their
declining days.
Furthermore. many clergymen who would
gladly send their sons to the universities
to be trained for the church are unable TO
do 90 owing to tho reduction of their in
comes.
Those who are well acquainted with the
subject say the only way to check the
threatened dearth of curates is by the le-
galixation Of old age pensions.
An instance Of this state OF affairs was
noted at the Trinity ordination the other
day, when the number Of candidates was
the smallest known. only one deacon and
three priests being admitted to holy or
ders. Truly the whole matter Is very Sc
rous.

Improvements Of mechanical nature
the whole machine shows a finish ard
that is unparalleled The
machines are OF the drop head patterns,
built Of the finest English oak. The
drawers, instead Of having knobs or
tinsel handles, are made with a hand
carved fronts, having "pull" cut right

newest piano legs, aud everything is
finished in the highest from of art.
Compared with sewing machine Of

rs great an advance as was the first
Howe machine upon sewing by hand,
and are certainly worthy Of investigation
by anyone interested in mechanical
