Happily the best lesson taught by the
notorious Story Of Mary McLane is to be
had without reading the book But it has a
moral worth the pointing-even worth wad-
ing through a few chapters OF the best
abused volume Of the day to get at
In the fact that this raw and undomesti-
Gated literary effort could find a reputable
publisher there is encouragement for bud
ding literary ambition, no matter how iso-
lated from influences of culture, how I'M
trained in methods or inoenious IN outlook

RETURNS TO TURF.
King Edward Has Entered Several of
 His Horses for Coming Races. London specIaI to Philadelphia North

King Edward Has Entered Several of
 His Horses for Coming Races, London special to Philadelphia North
 American.
 Something in the nature of a mild public sensation was caused today when the announcement of entries for the spring handicaps revealed the fact that King Edward has entered several horses in his own name. This Is taken to mean that the King will publicly resume his beloved sport upon the expiration of. the term of court mourning for Queen Vic toria who died on January 9 last.
 Since. that deplored event the sover- eigns stables have been conducted under the name and colors of Lord Marcus Beresford, and 1t has been semi officially intimated that the King would never again personally figure on the turf.
 Following today's announcement 1t IS taken for granted that Danny Maher, who has been engaged as the chief jockey of the Beresford stables for the coming season, will actually ride the King s horses, although no statement to that ef- feet has been made.
 The resumption of the sport by the King in his own proper royal person is hailed with joy by the sport-loving ele- ment. which anticipates A lively and thriving season in consequence.
 All the leading events are already filled Among the Americans represented are Messrs Whitney, Keene and Croker.

THEKAISER'S THEOLOGY
THE uLTRA-oRrHoDox CIRCLES ARE ALARMED.
The Emperor Sat Through the Lee.
 ture by Professor Delitzsch and ( This Has Caused Mach Comment

Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The action of Emperor William in sitting through a long lecture by Professor Delitzsch the Assyriaolog- ist, on the "Babylonish origin of Hebrew Ideas" has alarmed the ultra-orthodox circles of the State church, who begin to think something is wrong with His Majesty's theology. They have noted that in Gotha three weeks ago the Elm peror intimated that all churches were equally dear to him, saying that one of the great purposes of his life was to bring about church unity. His allowing Professor Delitsch's conclusions as to the historical foundation of Hebrewism to have imperial approval is regarded as a dangerous symptom.
 Among the curious grants of money by the Academy of Sciences to promote original investigation, is one to Countess Dervonlinden of Bonn to study the color ing substances of butterflies wings.
 General Horace Porter, the United States Ambassador to France, and Mrs. Porter, accompanied by R. s. Reynolds Hitt, third secretary at the United States Embassy at Paris, have arrived here on their way to St. Petersburg.
 The American Ambassador, Andrew D. White, has arranged reception for Wednesday next in order to make Gen. eral Porter acquainted with some of the Cabinet ministers and diplomats.
 Admiral von Tirpitz, Secretary of the Imperial Admiralty, who is going to the United States with Prince Henry of Prussia, will give a dinner Friday. at which some of the members of Prince Henrys suite and Commander w. P. Beehler. the naval attache of the United States Embassy here, will be present
 The provisional program from Prince Henrys visit, as arranged by Secretary Hay and Dr. von Hollenben, has been re- ceived at the Foreign Office here, but has not yet been considered by the Emperor who is expected to take up the matter Monday.
 The friends of the tariff bill continue to express themselves in pessimistic terms regarding the prospects of that measure. It is significant that the Agrarian organ. The Deutches Tags Zeiturg, has printed an article notifying the tariff commission that there is no use wasting time upon the bill until the agricultural duties are raised still higher, as the agricultural members will never vote for the bill in it's present formX More sober papers friendly to the bill are also much dis couraged on account of the slow progress 1t is making in committee.

The Moon and Bad Seasons.

The State astronomer of New South wales has recently shown remarkable relation pc tween the good and bad seasons Of Australia and the moons position. There is lunar cycle of nineteen years, or, to be more preclse' of G. e3e .69 days. That is to say, after nine teen years the time of new and full moon come over again almost exactly as before Mr Russel's official observations for three periods of nineteen years show that f'rain comes in times in abundance when the moon is in certain degrees of, her motion south, and when the moon begins to go north the droughty conditions prevail for seven or eight years which, says the astronomer, 'is either a marvellous coincidence or is a law connecting the two phenomena" and the latter, he be- lieves is the case. The first bad year of the present cycle was in 1895, and the droughts have persisted to such a terrible extent that from 1895 to 800 25,ooo, 900 sheep have died of starvation in the commonwealth. But the law doesn't work so well elsewhere.

COMMITTED TO HOME RULE.
Campbell l-Bannerman's Declaration
 Sunrise

London Jan. l8-The most important event of the resembling of Parliament was un- doubtedly the emphatic declaration or SIT Henry Campbell Zimmerman the Liberal leader in the House of Commons that the Liberal Party is still committed to home rule
 This was so utterly at variance with Loro Rosebery's Chesterfield speech that 1t was taken to completely nullify the other pas sages of Sir Henry's opening speech in which ne en- deayored to conciiiate the Rosebery factioh The Spectator says this renailing of the home rule flag to the Liberal mast is new ana violent repudiation of the imperialist wing
 In other quarters the home rule announce ment has been taken to be a de facto bid Tor the support of the Irish Parliamentary Party, but this does not appear to he a probable contingency as John Redmond and other leaders of the Irish Nationalists have con tinually declared and proved It to pc their m tention to fight the hc me rule battle unham- pered by alliances, only supporting Sir Henry Rannerman when the occasion suits them
