Of the Church.
NEW PARISH AT CHEVY CHASE
Standing Committee Elected-Charles
H. Stanley Named Chancellor of
the Diocese.

The diocese of Washington is not in
testant Episcopal Church. The consen
sus of opinion of the members was
learned yesterday at the closing ses-
sions OF the convention held in st.
Paul's Church, and though the minority
found much able support, it's resolution
was finally voted down.

luton was adopted approving the opiu-
ion expressed by Bishop SatterIee in his
address that the time has not arrived
for change of name This resolution
will be communicated TO the secretary
of the general convention, and the do
cese of Washington will join those OF
Pennsylvania, Florida, and New Jersey
against the proposed change.
New Parish for Chevy Chase.
The question of organizing a new
parish at Chevy Chase was one of the
important features of the afternoon ses-
sion. The committee appointed to look
after the matter was not ready to re-
port. owing to the absence Of some Of
its members, and there was some oppo-
sition to considering the question until
the next convention. However it was
urged by other interested persons that
the people of Chevy Chase deserved
some consideration and that the nat
ter should be disposed of immedia tely.
It was accordingly agreed that the
parish should be allowed to organize.
Elections for the standing committee
resulted in the appointment of the Rev
r. H. McKim, the Rev Alfred Harding
the Rev. Thomas j. Packard, the Rev.
r. p. Williams, ]. H. Gordon, Charles
H. Stanley, and Melville Church.

The bishop named Charles H. Stanley

lowing were chosen by the bishop as the

pinwall, the Rev. C. E. Buck, the Rev.
c. J. s. Mayo, the Rev. P. NJ. Boynton.

Taft Would Destroy.
And it IS this treasure the Philippine
Commission and Governor Taft sug-
called the women of patriotic societies
to arms. and has provoked such broad
charges as Commercial vandalism"
president Roosevelt once said 10 4
visitor who preached the subject Of pre-
serving historical relics: Show Euroce
that America is a land OF cultured peo-
pie. and refute the charge that an
Americans horizon is circumscribcd
by the size OF a dollar
The President knows. OF some OF. the
historic treasures. OF ManiIs, but il Is
doubtful If he has given them serious
thought. A young lady who spent q year
in the Philippines interested the Presi-
dent in the historic buildings and wall
and he expressed himself in favor Of re-
tanning them IN good order He also
favored the plan. of removing the ole
shacks and streets, retaining only the
buildings of interest, and parking lie
vailed city in order TO make it health
full
Commercialism IL It.
Pressure of 2 commercial character
has been brought to bear on the mem
bers of the Philippine Commission, and
II IS not surprising that the members
have not been attracted by the Iact tina,
the walled city also had commercial
value.
Members OF the commission have ap-
parently lost sight of everything except
that the land on which stands the walled
city might be available for warehouses
and that the bay near this portion of
Manila is accessible for the construc-
ton OF deep waterway
Governor Taft has observed that the
massive blocks OF stone forming the
vail would be eff good service in filling
the moat and paving the streets in that
section.
Army officers have condemned as as
thine the plan of destroying this por.
tion of the city.
Cultured people of America have no
hesitancy in saying that the move would
be vandalism.
: Together the opposition TO destruction
OF such treasures should be easily vic
torious.

There has been found, presumably in
garnet, a hitherto unpublished man
uscript by Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
says the New York Times. 1t appears
to have been the intention of the poet
to write a second Rhine of the An
Client Mariner" showing how that IA
nous old salt on an occasion subse-
quent to the one COMMUNICATED in i'm
mortal verse met another wedding
guest, this time lady. The poem was
not written, but the marginal notes
make its outline and plot quite clear.
These marginal notes are as follows:
First. The Ancient Mariner meet
eth another wedding guest, this time
a fair ladye.
Second She is bedight for the nup-
tial feast, and, being little late, is
hurrying to the church to witness the
ceremony.
Third. The Mariner holdeth her
with his glittering eye and beginneth
his gloomy tale.
Fourth. She endeavoreth to break
away, and offereth the aged man the
price of a drink, which he accepteth,
but nevertheless continueth his tale of
woe.
Fifth. She explaineth that she hath
a pressing enga cement, but he still
holdeth her with his glltterlng eye.
sixth. She heareth in her mind the
strains of the Wedding March, and
seeth in fancy the bride walk down
the aisle, and is agonized by the
thought that she will not be there.
Seventh. But he still holdeth her
with his glittering eye and she cannot
choke him off.
Eighth But, at last, she maketh
great effort and giveth the Ancient
Mariner such a tongue-thrashing that
he cannot get in another word edge
wise.
"Ninth. He trieth hard to get in the
albatross story, but in vain. He real
izeth that he is up against it.
Tenth. Then, wagging his head
dolefully, he turneth away, sadder
and a wiser man. And never from
that day did he stop a Wedding Guest
of the female variety"

OUT OF CUBA.

There are no American troops in
Cuba now. The last of them left Ha-
vana on Oct. II, and arrived at Port
land, Me-, last Saturday. The very
general impression was that all of
the American troops left when Gen.
Wood did, namely, on May 20, 1902.
AS a matter of fact a few remained
to see that order was preserved in
the island. 1t was thought that per-
haps there might .be trouble under
the new government, and that the
presence of American troops in Ha-
vana would tend to prevent disturb
ances of the peace. Happily, however,
there was no need for their services.
President Palma's government has
been very generally respected and the
indications are just now that it will
continue to be.
There seems to be ground for say
ing that the masses of the Cubans
have very little love for the Ameri-
cans Notwithstanding the assistance
Americans gave them in Kidding them
selves of the yoke of Spain. Indeed,
Cuba would still be province Of Spain
if the United States had not taken
hand in the contest between Spain
and Cuba. OF course the leading Gu
bans are grateful for the assistance
the United States gave their coun-
try and freely admit they could have
accomplished nothing without their
aid 1t is the masses who are unappre-
ciative.
1t is said that when the troops left
Havana the other day there was no
enthusiasm manifested by the crowds
in the streets 1t was only when they
were reviewed by President Palma
that there were manifestations Of good
will, and these came from the Presi-
dent and the members of his official
family.

Sailors are proverbially fine roman
GERS. says the New York Press. One
who returned recently from a voyage
in the South Pacific tells this story
of a narrow escape from death when
caught in a living trap on one of the
little islands there.
1.-THE ship" said he, had stopped
at the island for water, and / was
walking along the beach at low tide,
looking for shells and other sea curl
osities. l reached a rock which at
high tide was under water and started
to climb around it, without thought
of danger and without paying much
attention to the surroundings. AS
turned the corner of the rock l felt
my foot slip on something soft; there
was snap and the next instant L
discovered that I had carelessly walk
ed into one of the great mollusks, or
sea CLAIMS, which are to be found at
low tide along the coasts of those
islands.
These CLAIMS are over three feet
in diameter and the muscles which
hold their great shells together are
like steel springs. When l stepped
into the open clam the two shells
shut with a snap, imprisoning me as
in a vase.
THE edges of the she'll caught me
above the knee, and at first l thought
l would faint from the pain. Then I
tried to push the shells open. l might
as we'll have tried to pry open the
door of a locked iron safe with my
bare hands.
II had clasp knife and, drawing
this out, l attempted to cut the mus
Gle which held the shells together. But
l couldn't quite reach it, and every
time I made a stab the shells would
close tighter than ever.
I'D sailed the seas d good many
years and been in bad places before,
but never one where things looked
so hopeless as they did then. There
was no use in calling for help, although
of course l did, for l had wandered
up the beach nearly mile from where
the rest were.
But what at first looked like my
greatest peril proved my salvation in
the end The tide was coming in, and
trap I would be drowned, l thought
So 1 redoubled my efforts with the
knife They were useless. The tide
kept creeping up. Then it finally
reached the part of the giant clam
where was the muscle which contracts
and expands the two shells. To my
surprise and joy when the water reach
ed this muscle it relaxed, only a little
to be sure, but enough so that 1 could
manage to pull out my leg. it was
the tightest squeeze l was ever in
you may believe"
We all know the clam eating man.
but this is the first heard of a man
eating clam.

An Anecdote of pisraeIi.

On one occasion this habit Of exag-
gerated adultation led to so bold an
attempt by the fair recipient to turn IT
to her advantage that he was driven to
save the situation in a way that was
very far from being appreciated, says
Blackwell's. The charmer, a young
lady of advanced views" finding the
great man so exceedingly protuse In
his attentions, thought it an excellent
opportunity for making him a convert
to her utopian ideals, which were of
the most daringly democratic order.
After a long recitation of her propa-
gandas she wound up with fervid ap-
peal to the prime minister to immor-
taliZe himself by espousing her ingeni-
GUS panacea for remedying the wrongs
Of humanity! AS she finished her i'm
FASHIONED harangue, with flushed
cheeks and flashing eye, DIsraeli, who
had been silently watching her with
apparently the profoundest sympathy
and admiration, suddenly dropped his
eyeglass and softly murmured, "Oh,
you darling!" eff it had been at din
ner," she afterwards declared, land I
had had a knife, would have stabbed
him."

Some Of the Canadians are now ex-
pressing the fear that the United
States will endeavor to get possession
Of Greenland and thus hem US in on
the East as they have done on the
West" Some of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
newspaper supporters are advocating
the taking of immediate steps by Great
Britain, or by Canada if Great Britain
declines or neglects to act promptly, to
acquire Greenland and place it where
Uncle Sam cannot get his hands on it.
Greenland belongs to Denmark. If the
Danes have any desire to dispose Of it
the fact seems to have been carefully
concealed. Indeed, the Danes have
only recently evinced a dissemination
to ALLEVIATE any of their territory, as
was seen in the failure of the effort to
transfer her West India islands to
the United States. If Denmark would
not sell these islands, which are a
source of expense to her, what reason
is there for thinking she would sell
Greenland, from which she derives
revenue?

The South isn't very greatly inter-
ested in the food Of immigration that
is pouring into the country, except as
it effects the general welfare OF the
| country. because very few immigrants
| from Europe find their way into the
Southern States, but it is evident that
the country is going to have another
labor problem to deal with in the near
future If something isn't done to
| Europe.
Almost every day now there are ac-
counts of the closing of indus
trial plants. owing to the decline of
the demand for the products of such
plants. Only day or two ago sew
eral thousands of the employees of the
Illinois Steel Works were told that
there was nothing for them to do at
present, on account of the want of
orders, and it is known that a num-
Der of the plants of the United States
Steel Corporation have been closed.
In many parts of the North employ
ment is much harder to get than it
Wco a COuplC VI lllOiiAtlS d6O tllh llC
indications are that there will be many
men hunting for work in the North
ern cities before the winter is over.
And yet, in the face of this condition
of affairs, wage earners are coming
into the country at the rate of nearly
100000 a month.
Mr.. Sargent, the commissioner of the
Bureau of immigration, shows in his
annual report, which has just been
filed, that for the year ending June
30, last, 921,315 immigrants arrived in
the country, and the records show
that since that time there has been
very great increase in the number
of arrivals. The fact that 100000 more
immigrants arrived in the country last
year than arrived the previous year
ought to arouse Congress to the i'm
portance of legislation that would re-
strict the number Of arrivals. If all
the wage earners who want to come
are permitted to do so it will not be
long before the great cities of the
North will have more starving peo-
pie in them than can be taken care
Of satisfactorily.
And there is another thing to be
taken into consideration. 1t is that
when the supply of labor becomes
much greater than the demand there
is bound to come a reduction in wages.
In the face of want men will accept
almost any compensation they can
get When the movement to reduce
wages begins there is likely to be
troubles of greater or less violence.
The situation would not be a cause
for uneasiness if these incoming wage
earners did not congregate in the
cities. If they were to settle upon
the vacant lands of the South, for
instance, and turn their attention to
raising corn and cotton, their coming
wouldn't present a problem for a good
while to come, but they know nothing
about farming, and, besides, very few
of them have the means of buying
land or stocking farm. Under the
circumstances about the only thing
to be done is for Congress to restrict
immigration.

PERSONAL.

Considerable surprise was mani
tested in Paris over the fact that the
King of Italy did not applaud when
President Loubet took him to the opera
there. Parisians did not seem to
know that their distinguished guest
does not care a rap for music or poe
try. King Victor Emmanuel takes his
pleasure on horseback or in an auto
mobile. He is also fond of military
life, being rigid disciplinarian.

gentleman is good enough to say that
he finds no fault with the young bald
headed man who wears a wig, but de-
clares that in the case of old men
it is altogether unbecoming." "Old

Sweet Cider.
From Lippincott's.

The dapper waiter fingers
What shall l drink tonight?
| turn. with listless fingers,
The wine list to the light
And while 1 scan it, thinking
That wine has lost its charm,
I dream once more of drinking
Sweet cider at the farm.
From grandad's ancient settle,
Before the cracking blaze,
watch the singing kettle
A merry tune it plays.
There, when the corn was swapping.
And apples sized and steamed,
With granddad slyly mapping.
My sweetest dreams were dreamed.
The winter wind, snow laden.
Coaxed up the roaring flames,
And there a rosy maiden
Sat by and played me games:
There Love, who heard the clinking
OF glasses, came and saw
Two happy lovers drinking
Sweet cider through 4 straw.
Snug sheltered from the weather.
At Boreas we laughed,
And quenched our thirst together
In that cool amber draught.
That drink Of granddad's making,
Pressed in the mill hard by,
Set no light head to aching.
Turned no bright speech awry.
Stilled are the clinking glasses,
Long vanished is your smile,
Oh. rosiest of lasses;
But still / dream, and while
My gray mustache I'm dipping
In wine without a flaw
see your red lips slipping
Sweet cider through a straw.

ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Statesmen must think treaties of
arbitration would aid materially in
preventing war or else they would not
waste time in negotiating them. Mr..
Thomas Barclay, ex-president of the
British Chamber of Commerce. has
just had talk with President Roose-
welt and Secretary of State Hay re-
speeding the proposed treaty of arbi-
tration between the United States and
Great Britain. 1t seems that he had
considerable to do with the treaty of
between Great Britain and France, and
was a factor in the treaty of arbitra-
ton that was negotiated between this
country and Great Britain in 1897, but
which the Senate refused to ratify.
Mr.. Barclay is of the opinion that
the Senate would now ratify treaty
of arbitration and he proposes to agi-
tate the question in public addresses
to be delivered in differents parts of
the country One will be before the
Chamber of Commerce of New York
on the occasion of it's annual meeting
on Nov. II.
1t is probable he thinks that be-
cause this country was successful in
the arbitration of the Alaskan bound
airy question the Senate will be willing
to ratify ii general treaty of arbitra-
ton with Great Britain, but it isn't so
certain that Great Britain finds in the
Alaskan arbitration much that would
lead her to want a treaty of arbitra-
ton with this country. AS a matter
of fact, she is pretty we'll scared by
the anger shown by Canada over the
outcome of that arbitration. She is
afraid that Canada will take notion
to sever her relations with the mother
country.
If Great Britain had been acting for
herself it is by no means certain that
the Alaskan boundary dispute would
have been settled by arbitration 1t is
doubtful il the arbitra tors could have
reached an agreement, though there is
no doubt that the decision that was
rendered was a just one.
Nations are no more likely than men
to reach settlement of their differ
ences by arbitration, and it is we'll
known that arbitration has not been
found satisfactory in the settlement of
labor troubles. 1t is probable that in
cases where no great issue was at stake
differences between nations might be
settled by arbitration, but if the is
sue were of great Importance a treaty
Of arbitration would not prevent war.
Still, as such a treaty can do no pos
sible harm. Mr.. Barclay may be sue
cessful in the mission which he has un-
dertaken
