GOSPEL Music IMMoRAL.-Prof. G.
B. Penny, of Washburn college, has
shocked the world by the declaration
that many of the melodies OF Gospel
Hymns are immoral in their tendency.
He says, in support of that broad as.
sertion. IL do not mean that the
words are immoral, but the music is
very much 90. l find, upon exsmina-
ton OF the book that at least twenty.
five tunes are immoral. Six OF these
are waltz tunes, two are two-steps, and
seventeen are polkas. March tunes,
too. are Objectionable" Myl what .
sensitive nature that dominic must
possess. He would have the golden
harps Of Zion attuned only to the
penny-roya" hymns of suld lang
syue.

EX-SENATOR TURNER MAY STAND
FOR GOvERNoR.-State Auditor John
D. Atkinson has set afloat Q rumor
that Ex.-U. s. Senator Turner, before
his departure for England. TO meet
with the Alaskan boundary commits
sion had consented to reconsider his
declaration that he would in no case
be a candidate for Governor, to succeed
Mcbride, on sho Democratic ticket.
It seems that the Senator has 60 much
respect for the present executive for
his stalwart fight against corporations,
that he will not under any circum.
stances stand in bis way for reelection,
if he wants the Office. Another reser.
walton is that he can 80 arrange his
business interests a. 10 enable him to
give his whole time to official duties.

SHE FORGETs HER FRIENDs.-Melba
who sailed a few days ago for this
country, to sing in concert in the larg-
er cities, told World correspondent
just before starting, that she would re-
fuse to be interviewed by the press
when she arrived this side the big va.
tiers, giving as reason that "newspa.
per people in America have an exag-
gerated sense of their importance. AS
far as l am concerned, | don't care
pin what they say about me. / con-
slider myself out of reach OF their criti-
cism, and don't need their assistance
longer" All, madam, then you admit
that you was once in need of their
" assistance" and that you have grown
in assurance as you grew in reputation.
Have a care, madam. The press can
unmake as we'll as make reputation,
and you would find that cyclone
might not have greater terrors than to
arouse the combined wrath of compe-
tent critics Of foibles and failings all
human beings possess and of which
they appear to be singularly oblivious.
There are doubtless many little things,
Melba, that the press have kindly
overlooked in your professional career
that would better remain covered by
the mantle of charity. Her latest at
tempt at financing the new Garrick
play, 1.-THE Golden Silence" by Had
den Chambers, was not success, but
of that she would probably agree that
silence would be indeed golden. The
converse of the proposition, -" Nothing
promotes success like success" is like.

Perplexity Of Mr.. Plat.

o no, Mr.. Platt! It's you, is it, who
appears in tine little drama now CATCH
ing the attention OF the public which
contributes its share to verify the
axiom that "True love never runs
smooth? The announcement of the
speedy marriage OF Senator Thomas C.
Platt. of New York, to Mrs. Lillian L.
Janeway, Of Washington City, was the
curtain.raiser to a delightful little
lOve-scene in which the dignified Sen
ator and the charming Miss Mae c..
Wood, clerk in the money order divi-
sion Of the Postoffice Department at
the national capital, are the principal
actors. Miss Mae steadily and une-
quivocally affirms that she has prior
claim on the frisky Senator and that
she can back it up with epistolatory
evidence extending back couple OF
years, in which he professed undying
affection for the maiden he has left all
forlorn. She says that she can show
he gave her $1,000 to make a tour of
Europe upon and prepare herself to
perform acceptably the part of sena.
tors wife.
The tour was made, and when she
returned, q few days ago, she found
that she had been supplanted by a
winsome widow, and that their nup-
tials had already been announced.
Now Mae is not the kind of girl 10
be made fool OF, and intends to con-
test with the widow the right to Mr..
Platts affections. She seems to have
known OF the widow, and now thinks
she was sent abroad to enable him to
marry her, after he had promised to
we'd the maid just as soon as he could
shake the widow; so it was merely o
game OF "shake up" after all.
The Tilted maiden promises to make
ell this correspondence public, and the
legitimate sequence will be, if she
cannot break off the suit, to sue for
heavy damages in coin of the realm,
which generally serves rs an &C.
ceptable solace for outraged affe ction.
The plaintiff knows just what she is
about, being Doctor of Law, q Doc
tor OF Medicine and . Doctor of Di-
plomacy. How can . plain Senator,
after the fate of the famous Kentucky
Senator, who met his Waterloo in the
"$10.note episode" a few years ago,
expect to successfully combat Wood
with the gnarly bark and stalwart
heart of Miss Mae?
Notwithstanding these facts, Sena.
tar Plat was quietly married to Mrs .
Jaueway, at the Holland House, New
York, Sunday, in the presence Of only
few members Of the families of the
respective parties.

SioA III q Ohuiinut CuiCOlidts 4HC pun .
Usher Of the Journal feels fattered, to be
sure, but We would like to ask our old
friend Murphy why he credited some
paragraphs to this paper, and others to
"Ex ?"-White Rirer Journal.
At the risk Of the charge of being a
promoter OF the Mutual Admiration
Society, we quote the above, as we did
those paragraphs, simply to hang an
addendum upon it; to develop and ex-
pand the currents OF thought which
sweep over the sea OF journalism. The
reason we credited part Of the extracts
to "Ex," was to keep our readers in
ignorance of how near that issue OF
the STANDARD had been a reprint Of
the Journal. If Bro. Sherry yields
the faber long as the writer, he will
not kick over such matters. We have
had column.articles cribbed many o
time without the slightest word Of
censure or comment from US. When
one is complimented on the quiet, he
should not manifest churlishness by
an affected display Of anger from the
housetop.
