of all the churches the Catholic Church
was the church of the poor, and speaking
of the Pope as his Holiness and Holy
Father. These were grounds of offense
to certain members OF the National Club

of member who hold the doctrines of the
principles of the reformed faith.

ing to consider whether Mr.. Hall Game.

ciples supposed to be held by its men,
bers, passed a resolution denouncing Mr..

Newspaper Man Suitably Rebuked
Brooklyn Eagle

If familiarity with great men does not
breed contempt for personal and official
dignity in the average newspaper worker
it certainly makes him forgetful of the fact
that other people are not privileged to view
individuals and things from his ~neighborly
level. A ~well-known special writer for a
large metropolitan daily rushed into a tall
office building in Manhattan the other day
and, addressing himself to a uniformed Of
fetal who was standing in the hallway, in
quired:
Can you tell me where 1 can find Jake
Cantor?"
The uniformed official was visibly panied
and there was a distinct drop in the tenn
perature as he answered Jelly:
Mister Jacob Cantor, p~resident-elect of
the borough of Manhattan, has an office on
the ninth floor"
And with a humble Thank you" and a
chastened spirit the newspaper man sought
the elevator.

Low and Political influence.
Minneapolis Tribune.


The official count of the vote in New York
city has been finished and it appears that
81 per cent. Of the vote for Low was cast
by Republicans. Senator Platt referred to
this significantly before his conference with
Mayor-elect Low recently, though he in
sisted that he would make no claim to die
tate appointments based on these figures.
The reformers, however, view the situation
with alarm, and regard the conference as
menacing to their interests. This is the
rock on which the Strong administration
split. Mayor Strong tried to divide city
patronage among the various organiza-
ticns that supported him in proportion 10
their vote. He only succeeded in making
everybody sore. and in surrounding himself
with d lot of office holders that spent their
energy in fighting each other instead of do
ing the city's business. Mayor Low is a
stronger character and has more practical
knowledge of politics and government.
There is hope in his record as mayor OF
Brooklyn that he will be able to deal more
successfully with the difficult situation.

TRIBUTE TO BULLER.
Demonstration in Honor of the Dis
credited British General.

LONDON, Nov. SO.-The Devonian dinner,
at which General Butler presided, at the
Hotel Cecil tonight, was the scene of great
enthusiasm and a remarkable tribute to the
personal popularity of the discredited gen.
eral, but it passed off without any unusual
anti-government demonstration. Long be-
fore the hour fixed for the reception the
great courtyard of the hotel was crowded
with Bullerites. The arrival of General and
Lady Butler was the signal for enthusiast
tic cheering.
The most dramatic scene was in the BAN
quet hall, where General Butler, as the
presiding officer, necessarily proposed the
health Of the King, by whose order the
general had been compulsorily retired from
the army. A remarkable demonstration
ensued. For several minutes there were
deafening cheers, the waving of ~andke
chiefs and singing. 1t is doubtful if Lon
don has ever seen a heartier response to
the toast to the King.

Concession to Insurance Companies.

LONDON, Nov. SO.-News has reached
London that In response to the pressure
brought to bear by American and British
companies, Germany has made an i'm
portant concession in connection with the
new insurance law, which comes into force
in January. Ii is 10 the effect that COM
panies deciding TO retire will be considered
practically nonexistent, and will not be
compelled, during the process of liquida-
ton. to conform to the conditions of the
drastic new measures. This insures the
German government not taking over such
assets and liabilities of these companies as
were under governmental control. the
probability OF which had previously greatly
exercised foreign insurance interests in
Germany.
