1t is the supreme act of his life, though
he does not realize It. His trust shall not
be shaken. If God requires the sacrifice. he
thinks. it Is enough, for in itself. in the
light Of his environment, 1t seems not
wrong. and this will be the very greatest
proof that could be given Of his obedience
and devotion. It is agony untold. but there
is no way out, nor does he desire any. He
has given up country and kindred. as
separate man: why should he halt at this
new test? In the words Of Doctor Sayre:
THE sacrifice was only too fully in har-
nlony with the fierce ritual of Syria. Tho
belief In the efficacy Of the sacrifice OF the
first born was deeply rooted In the minds
OF the people Of Canaan. They offered to
the gods their best and dearest, the fruit
of their body for the sin Of their soul" II

a KING OPPOSES A MARRIAGE.
Edward VII Objects to a Union With
a Pretty Acfress.

q EE%lFE Actress
LONDON. Feb. pa stir has been
created in social circles by the renewed
reports of the impending marriage Of the
Marquis Of Headfort to Miss Rosie Bo0te.
a pretty and popular young actress. Who IS
now appearing in the Messenger Boy
at the Ciaiety Theatre.
The Marquis is only twenty-three years
old. and IS a lieutenant in the First Life
Guards. Of which King Edward still Ie-
talns the honorary COiOnelCy.
The chief interest attaching TO the story
OF this prospective marriage lies in the
fact that the King ordered yOung Head
fort confined to the barracks at Windsor
so as TO. temporarily at any rate, prevent
the marriage Beyond the fact that Miss
Boote is an actress. nothing can be aIleg-
ed against her character by Headf0rt's
friends and relatives.
Il only know" said Manager George Ed
wardes yesterday afternoon. that Miss
Boote is pretty. clever girl. II was 7 n
derstood the marriage was to have taken
place Wednesday. but whether Headfort's
confinement TO barracks viii prevent the
ceremony taking place / cannot say
though II seems TO me extremely Prob
able Miss Boote with excellent taste
preserves her own counsel IN the matter
and refuses TO discuss IL with anyone. so
it may be taken thar any interviews which
may be published with her conce- ming the
affair are entirely ina ginary."
Hsadfort was introduced to Miss Boore
by the Duke of Manchester. The Marquis
bears a fair reputation and is a fayorite
among his felIow-o officers. who. however.
warmly commend the Kings action IN en-
deayoring to prevent what he regards IS
a neSalliance.

HUMBUC.

When the Democratic adminlstra-
ton had a chance it destroyed re-
clprocity as menace to "tarlff re-
FORM" as ga scheme for bringing
foreign countries under the shadow
of our Protective policy" All this
chatter IN Democratic organs now
about reciprocity as another word
for free trade is humbug, and the
men who write it with the same pens
with which ten years ago they de-
nounced reciprocity as twin of
Protection know it. The free trade
faction in this country is just as much
afraid of reciprocity now as it was
in the Harrison administration, and
the chances are that when the issue
is drawn great majority of Demo
cratic senators will vote against the
pending arrangements as they vote
