Bishop Hall OF Vermont has au-
thorized a prayer for the use in the
churches of the diocese in behalf of the
State Legislature, as none is provided
for that body in the prayer book.
Rev. John Edward Herman. pas
tor Of the Congregational Church of
Milford, N H. read the sermon on
Sunday which was preached 100 years
ago, by Rev. Humphreys Moore at his
installation as pastor of the church.
Ex-senator Jewett of st. Louis is
"a years old. Someone asked him not
long ago how old he thought a man
should be before retiring from business.
The old gentleman gravely responded:
Il don't really think man should
keep on after he has reached the age
of 90"
Count Eugene Esterhazy. 1t is re-
ported from Vienna, left the Jesuit So
ciety on account of love affair. Since
then he has married the Marquise de
Bainac. His leaving the order has
caused all the more gossip in Vienna,
as he has taken legal measures to re-
gain his fortune of $175.000. which he
donated to the society upon entering
it.
1t Is said of Lord Kitchener that
three months of social ionizing, coun-
try-house visiting and fulsome adula-
ton from English society have mark
ed a baneful transformation in this
erstwhile stole. He has lost much OF
his sternness, has stopped refusing in
vitations for teas. dinners and lunch
cons and, indeed, has surrendered COM
pletely to social influences.
w. +. King, chief astronomer of the
Dominion of Canada, has been appoint

"THE CORRECT THING"

Those who are wont to follow the
operations of that nebulous organism
known as Good Society with a certain
admixture of reverence and awe, and
with a depressing sense of their own
inability to initiate what they admire,
are now in position to heed the ex-
hortation of the ancient ballad and
wipe their weeping eyes"
The wade mecum to this state of
blessedness is a little book known as
1.-THE Correct Thing" which describes
with a minute attention to detail that
overlooks nothing in just what orbits
members Of Good Society live and move
and have their being. For instances:
''It is not the correct thing for a
gentleman to wear his overshoes in
the drawing room"
Now there you are-balm of Gilead
at the very first dive into the contents
of this guide to decorum. Those who
have been hesitating in the past be-
tween leaving their overshoes at the
front door. kicking them off in the yes
Thule and thrusting their muddied en-

The last noticeable outbreak of that
particularly Objectionable type, the
practical joker, was in Philadelphia the
other day. The Joker answered all the
advertisements for work he found in
the morning papers. directing the APP
plicants to appear at the residence Of a
prospective bride few hours before
the ceremony was to take place and
ask for the groom. They appeared
in such numbers that arrangements
for the wedding had almost to be aban-
doned and with such insistent requests
for an audience that the victims were
driven almost wild. If the applicants
for work could be locked in q room
with the perpetrator OF the joke the
result would be poetic justice with a
vengeance. Some one with a sense OF
humor equally as well developed ought
to ind the joker and put this plan
into execution.

bodiment Of common sense upon the
vision of a hostess, possibly shocked
and Mortified. have all their doubts dis
PEELED. And. inferentiaTly, the quota
ton settles in the affirmative the awful
question whether it is the correct thing
to wear overshoes at all.
This. however is merely a sample,
for the proprieties of every occasion
almost are suitably explained. The
anxious reader is informed that it is
mot the correct thing to drink tea out
of the saucer. or to pour It into the
saucer to cool: to tuck the feet up on
the rounds of ones chair or to place
them on the stand Of the table; to eat
with ones knife" The practice of
wrapping a napkin about the neck is
strongly condemned and the use of
toothpicks at the table denounced as
a gaucherie likely to brand the per-
petrator as a trespasser, or at best but
a casual wanderer, in the hallowed do
main of Good Society.
The gentler sex receives admonition
designed exclusively for itself. 'Tt is
not the correct thing" says the author
for a lady to refuse the invitation of
one gentleman and then accept that OF
another for the same dance. Dueis
have been fought for smaller matters
than this" And rightly, too. Even
the prosaic modern soul wakes indig-
nant at the mere mention Of such an
affront and longs for the good old days,
when such stain could be washed out
only in blood. Let the gentle demoi-
selles beware lest they arouse these
fiery passions. even though there is no
chance of a resulting order for pistols
and coffee for two.
The sterner sex has also its share
of reproof. The practice of wearing
evening dress TO afternoon receptions
is not the correct thing, while for a
young man, on that most solemn of all
occasions through which he will con-
sciously pass-his marriage, to forget
to obtain the license or provide himself
with a wedding ring is faux pas be-
yond the power of earthly forgiveness.
Nor is it the correct thing, either, "for
a woman who believes herself a mans
equal to promise to obey him as If she
were child or an inferior"
Limited space forbids the further
enumeration of what is and what is
not 1.-THE Correct Thing in Good So
ciety," as it is set forth and explained
in this compendium of information.
Altogether 361 pages are required in
the recital-S61 pages checked full of
wisdom and delicacy from the first to
the last. The reader who ponders

HOW TO KNOW GOOD MUSIC.

The court room of Justice Traux of
the New York Supreme Court was the
other day turned into a lecture hall
upon classic music, and incidentally a
number of musical doctors held a clinic
with Victor Herbert's operas upon the
dissecting table. The occasion was
the trial of libel suit brought by Mr..
Herbert against a musical magazine
that had called him a plagiarist and
asserted that he couldn't write good
music anyway. Mr.. Herbert assessed
his grievance at $500 and asked the
court to give him that amount of dam
ages as a balm to his wounded artistic
sensibilities.
The defendants in the action elected
to prove to the court that all alleged
against Mr.. Herbert and his compost
tons was absolutely and perfectly true
When the case was called, therefore,
the court room was filled with compos-
ers. musicians and critics ready to give
expert testimony and enlighten Judge
and jury as to what constituted good
music and what poor. AS might have
filled with crescendo and andante
movements and vibrant with music of
all the schools. Yet fair progress was
made with the case on the first day.
Three witnesses succeeded in telling
the court of their professional records
and successes and their competency to
give an opinion on the matter In
Tn
rules that must be applied when music
is under consideration. Was COM
position written to order? Then it is
no good. Classical music is always an
inspiration. Money kills genius. No
good music could be originated to fill
an order. like one would write an adj
vertisement for soap.
What is to guide one in determining
whether music is good or bad?" was
asked of one of the witnesses. His an
swer, which win be read with interest
by great public that has long wanted
sure test upon which to base opin-
ions, was this: Good music always
becomes part of the repertoire of street
organs. The test of good music is
whether it is played on hand-organs or
not" And then, by way of crushing
Herbert, he added: 'Herbert's music
is never played on street organs. :"
Here, then, is the mentor and musical
guide of the great music-loving lay
public-listen to the hand-organ and
from it let the basis of your criticism
be taken. Hereafter despise not the
son of Sunny Italy who comes with his
organ and monkey, for his mission is
to inform the public what good music
is and thus elevate the race.

GOVERNOR TERRELL.

The Hon. Joseph NJ. Terrell was in
Quoted into the Office of Governor Of
! Georgia at the capitol yesterday and at
once entered upon the discharge of his
new duties. Prior to taking the oath
/ required by law he delivered a brief
| inaugural address which will be read
/ throughout the state. as 1t must have
been heard by the members of the Leg
islature, with sincere pleasure and ap-
prevail. 1t is an admirable expression
of lofty purposes looking to the main
tenance of peace and the advancement
of prosperity throughout the state. In
the prosecution of these purposes.
Gov. Terrell will have the cooperation
of all citizens who have pride in their
state. No assistance that would tend
towards the success of his administra-
ton should be withheld. and it will
not be by those who love Georgia.
1t would be superluous to comment
upon the personality and character of
the new chief executive, since he is al
ready one Of the best known men in
the state. If he were not a strong, con-
sentative. able and safe man he would
never have been in the position he oc-
cupies to-day. That he was the choice
of the Democratic party of the state
for the highest honor within it's gift
is an all-suficient guarantee that in
character and attachments Mr.. Terrell
is governor-size. This he has demon
strated to the satisfaction of the party
during his several years connection
with the public service.
The salient features of the policy Of
Gov. TerrelPs administration are to be
1.-The reduction of the rate Of taxation
and the providing of better educa-
tional advantages for the children of
the state" Briefly, he outlines how
these reforms may be brought about.
Taxes can be reduced by an economical
administration of the states affairs, by
cutting off all unnecessary appropria-
tons. and by a faithful execution of the
present tax laws and the amendment of
those laws In certain particulars so as
to distribute the burden more evenly.
The Governor will later communicate
his plans and ideas in detail to the
Legislature.
In the matter of school reform. he
would make the first step the prompt
payment of the teachers; next provide
for local aid to the public school fund
so that terms may be extended and
better school houses provided. The
Morning News has persistently advo-
Gated these reforms and will continue
to do so. Until the counties generally
pay direct taxes for school purposes
we shall not have an adequate school
system throughout the state.

The old beliefs of our boyhood are
shattered day by day. There was a
time when the poison of the tarantula
was embalmed in a phrase. "As pois-
onous as a tarantula's bite" we were
apt to use as descriptive of something
more than ordinarily deadly. Now
comes a giddy iconoclast from West
Superior, Wis, who declares that the
tarantula's bite is not even uncom-
Portable and offers to prove it. When
we consider the number of persons
who have been foolish enough to die of
fright, under the lingering delusion
that a tarantula had inflicted their
mortal wounds, we feel like shooting
the Wisconsin idol-breaker, either for
not having been born earlier or, having
been born too late. his failure to hold
his peace.
