HEREDITARY INDIAN HATRED OF
 SPANIARD

| oT AMI
 The masses of the people in these 1 lands of the south are not pro- Spanish
 and wherever the Indian race is strong | it will be found that men of Indian ex- traction are far removed from any sen timent of loyalty to Spain. They cher ish, as writer on Mexicans constitu- tional law has said, resentment against the Spain of the times of the
 conquest. Thus in these southern countries there is cleaverage in tra- ditions. One does not find Latin Amer ica raising statues to Cortes and Pizar- TO. The reason is not far to seek. The Indian element, and tens of thousands of men influenced by that element of the population, cherish a sentiment far from love and admiration for the great conquisitadores. While we have said that Cortes was one of the abest of soldiers and administrators, one of the worlds real heroes, we recognize the fact that his memory is not held in grateful esteem here. In the Indo- Latin republic there is strong senti- ment aeinast Cortes and carried, we have felt to an extreme His essential qualities of gallantry patience and ad- ministration are lost sight of So much for the supposed intense and general pro-Spanish sentiment here. And we say this, cherishing as we do, a belief in the noble side of the Spanish char acter.-MeXican Herald

 Rev. Dr. T. T. Munger spoke on the Relation of the Divinity School to the University" He said that the theo- logian should be taught in a divinity school which was in close relation with q university. A student must think, feel and say that he is studying theol- ogy in divinity school not a seminary. The first theologians of New England were university men. He said that the serious difficulty with man who stud ies directly under another minister or In a small seminary was that he was a miniature copy of his instructors and that when the students went out their diplomas were with books full of lec- ture notes. As regards tuition he said the student should put himself on the same footing with men of other de- partments and if their tuition was re- mitted then that of the theologue should

 In his charge Professor George P. Fisher said that there should be sym pathy with men and that a minister should always keep in the foreground the essentials of his calling. He said the ministers should make men new creatures in Christ Jesus.

An Open Letter 70 the Ministers of
 New Haven.

Reverend Slrs: For the past few
 years we have had an epidemic of ser
 mons on Why men do not attend
 church" and many replies have beer
 given to that question, the large major | ity of them being to the effect tha' ministers, as a rule, do not support tho
 people as against monopoly, and that ! the church is usually on the side of pu. i tocracy and greed.
 1 These are serious charges, and as fa1 as is known have never been refuted 1 while all facts prove their truth.
 There have been many occasions lately offering the best possible oppor- tunities for you to refute the above charges, but with one notable exception you have utterly failed to avail your selves of them.
 The. common people of the city are at present demanding a small part of their Godgiven right to inherit the earth. The issue is as clear as day; one be- tween the rights of the people versus corporate greed: and what part have you taken in it? With the one notable exception referred to the clergy of the city are with the professors. bankers. lawyers and so- called cultured element, We, therefore, as the representatives of those whom the man of Gallilee loved, deem it our duty to call your attention to the fact that in some way, you have become divorced from the position taken by Him. He worked for the poor, You are always on the side of the rich He had no place to lay His head You have elegant furnishings.
 Our labor applied to nature is the source of all wealth. and in no other way can wealth be created; yet within month you have told us that we should not care who gets 1t so long as it is created, because it is Gods will that some should be rich and some poor.
 We believe that God is just, and that it is not His will that one should plant and another reap the harvest
 We believe that the product should belong to the producer as against the whole world
 We believe that when some man gets something for nothing some other men must produce something and get noth- ing in return We know that if a share in the New Haven Water com pany has par value of fifty dollars, and yet sold for one hundred and eigh- teen, and some man somewhere had to slave, and by the sweat of his brow make up the difference of sixty-eight dollars.
 Therefore, Reverend Sirs, believing and knowing these things, and at the same time watching your attitude to- ward them, can you blame us for not supporting an institution that is so clearly opposed to justice, humanity and brotherhood?
 In conclusion we appeal to you to come out boldly for the people in this question Of water: and ere it is too late. prove to them that you are on their side and thus remove the stigma that has so long been attached to the professed followers of the Gallilean car penter.

January term of the superior court. The testator left $30000 to his widow, and divided the remainder of his estate among relatives. He left no children. The widow now claims dowry in addi- ton to the $30,000 The lawyers who represent the contestants claim the will is ambiguous in some respects. One provision gives $3,0O0 to one relative, and later on in the document there is another provision giving $3,OO0 more to the same heir.

AN ENCOUNTER IN SIXTEENTH
 STRFFT

Mrs Roosevelt, in her victoria, was driving up Sixteenth street recently when she was observed to bow to a commodious automobile. There was q great bobbing and lodging of heads within the automobile, and finally the umbering machine was turned about and started in the direction of the pres ident's carriage. When the latter was successfully overtaken three quaint and curious young faces were turned in the direction of Mrs. Roosevelt who smiled at the eagerness with which these strange little Chinese maidens regarded her. The automobile was the property of his excellency, Wu Ting fang. The Oriental strangers within were the young relatives of Madame Wu, who returned with the latter from a recent visit to China. Both the Chi nese minister and Madame Wu go a great deal in society, but their visitors will not be allowed to venture often be- yond the legation walls, it having been a condition of their parents permission to come to this country that they ob- serve faithfully the customs of their own.
