Il IL
Houston's vote had been SO materially
increased merely at the expense Of Mr..
Byrne, his Union Republican opponent
for Congress, it could have been
accepted as personal tribute and an
indication of his great popularity. But
the figures show that as Mr.. Houston Is
vote went up, the vote for the Demo.
cratic candidate for Representative
went down; and as the vote for the
Democratic candidate for Representativ
went down, the vote for the Union Re-
publican candidate for Representative
went up This was not the case at the
previous elections, or in any other dis
trict, despite Mr.. Houston's intimation
that it was. The figures show to the
contrary.
1t is also shown by the returns that
Mr.. Houston's amazing personal popu-
larity among Republicans of his home
district was confined to those of the
Union faction. For while Mr.. Byrne's
vote fell away below that of his
associates on the ticket, DIR. Ball, the
Regular Republican candidate for Con-
gress, led the Regular Republican vote
OF the district. He received q votes,
while the Regular Republican candi-
date for Representative received only I6.
1t is fact that the returns of the
election in the Second Election dis
trict of the Sixth Representative dis.
trict of Sussex county are very sus-
picious. They arc suggestive of a deal
by which Union Republican votes we're
cast for Mr.. Houston for Congress in
return for Democratic votes for the
Union Republican candidate for Repre-.
sentative. and also for the Union Re-
publican candidate for State Senator.
If this suspicion is unfounded it is
incumbent upon Mr.. Houston and his
friends to remove it by facts that can
not be disputed.

GOTHAMS DIRTY PLAYS
MINISTER BANKS SAYS THEY
ARE ROTTEN.
Claims They Are Not True to L'1e'
and Asks Church Members TO
Not Attend Theaters.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Rev. DE-.
Iouis Albert Banks, pastor Of Grace
Methodist Episcopal church, made
some caustic references to the immor-
al quality. or rather lack ST quality,
of the drama to be seen on the boards
Of New York theaters in his preliml-
nary sermon tonight. He spoke to
the caption, New Yolk's Dirty Thea
ters." in part as follGws:
Good judges who ought to know
whereof they speak, declare that i'll
stead of getting better the moral quail
i,v of the theater in New York IS
steadily growing worse. True dla-
matte critics, weighing the present
situation, say that it is triumph for
the drama of dirt.
.SDramatic managers excuse them
selves for these vile and reeking plays,
which smell of the very pit, by claim
ing that they represent but the reali-
ties of modern life. That is a great IL
bel on modern civilization. If these
plays are true to life, there is no good
ness in human nature, no honor and
no virtue in women. We know this is
a lie. The fact is, these filthy plays
represent the wolst, not the best or
even the average, of human life.
But it is impossible that one should
look and listen to these exhibitions
of fifth, however spiced with wit and
whatever glamor of cclor and light
may be thrown upon them, without
biting hurt by it. here is centamina-
ton in the very air
Gould you take fire into your very
bosom and not burn it, q. have a
snail crawl across your clothing and
leave no trail of slime? Could you sit
in the midst of the bestiality repre-
sented in one of these dirty plays and
go away clean in mind and heart as
when ycM come. New York's dirty
theater of today is exactly the place
for decent Christian people to give a
wide berth,

lain at West Point, was listening to
some raillery one evening concerning
the efficacy of prayer 1t was all
good-humored enough, for his COM
panions at the time were men who
held him in deep respect and regard.
His argur ent was that very, very few
OF us who are helped by prayer are
inclined to give credit for the assist
ance to the proper source, and often
fondly believe that our good fortune
is Of onr own devising. To point his
argument he told the tale of Celt

fall Buildings of Ancient Day

Numerous conflicting estimates
have been made Of the height OF the
Tower of Babel, but one fact never
has been denied. and that is that it
was a sky-scraper. st. Jerome, in his
commentary on Isaiah, says that the
tower was already 1900 PAGES high
when God came down to stop the
work. A pace is about two and half
feet, therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10,-
600 feet; consequently Babel was
twenty times as high as the Pyra>
mids (Which are only about 500 feet).
Father Calmet says the tower was
$1,000 feet high, and that the struc-
ture was unfinished because the archi-
tects were confounded, as they did
not know how to bring the building
to head. Moreover, it is understood
that the Chinese language of to-day
was originally the same language as
the high German.

We got out a chart of the Banda sea:
found the island of Timor Laut and
then measured off seventy-three miles
to the north. This brought us to roDc's

there, but understood that the island

existence of a spring was mentioned,
but why shouid we 60 ashore: Unless

had been at the hospital inQuiring
about Kane and his effects.
l think 1t was on the twenty-thir

bay on the north side Of Pope's islann.
After having reached the shore We
found the spring, but as we stood be-
side it we looked at each other and
asked what should be the next move.
The island was thickly wooded, ana
we soon realized that We had better

after.
For a week after our arrival we hao
