Courtney Has No New stroke.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sun Sir. 1t was
asserted by New York newspaper yes
terday that Charles Courtney, the able Goa CHI
Of the Cornell oarsmen, invented an entirely
new stroke for the use Of the winning uni
versity crew of this year. and that one evt-
dence of the presence OF this stroke was the
slow rate at which the young gentlemen
Of the carnelian ard white swung back and
forth in their shell. II is always we'll when
about TO make an important statement to be
in full possession Of the facts Mr. Courtney

impurts to each successive crew under his
charge The only modification of the gtroke
of the present year was in the length OF the
forward reach. and this was made TO accom-
modate physical popularity of Nutting

slowness Of the stroke was largely due to the
fact that CONN, the stroke oar. is youth Of

were 8-f0oters and over 1t Was also due
partly to the uselessness OF rowing any

The RfahOp and the Pnrson.

To THB EDITOR OF THE Sun Sir: All Epis-
Copalians, regardless of party. will deprecate
the style OF controversy INDUCED In by the
Rev. Mr.. Fillingham and Bishop Potter. For
the former to threaten to forcibly invade the
Church Of st. Mary the Virgin and create a
public disturbance. and for the latter to re-
taliate by advising Father Christian to throw
his brother clergyman into the street are
measures certainly not calculated to increase
the respect Of the laity for the high dignita-
ries of the Church.
But after sitting out all the personal rancor
involved in this dispute there Is one point, it
should make clear. That point Is this: Are
the laws Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
Of America-laws which as Bishop he is SOL
EMMY sworn 70 enforce-violated by the ser
gin? Indeed. Is it not an incontrovertible
fact that these laws are openly violated and
detied? II this is a fact. and It is certainly

Surely Bishop Potter has placed himself In

personal questions involved, however, n in

A COURSE IN PHILANTHROPY.
Ten women From Out Of Town Are Taking
IL at Sea Breeze.

Sea Breeze, the establishment at Coney
Island where the New York Association
for Improving the Condition Of the Poor
gives fortnight's recreation to the city's
poor children every summer. has turned
itself into very pleasant sort Of philan-
thropical factory for the week.
Last Monday ten women from Minneapo-
lis. Washington, Baltimore. Boston and
Philadelphia took possession Of the house
They wanted to learn how give to the right
help to the right people in the right way.
80 they went to Sea Breeze for a course Of
scientific study in the art. The course
doesn't require any books. All it exacts
is an endless capacity for giving the New
York youngsters a good time, and up to
date it has been eminently successful.
When the prospective philanthropists ar.
rived they found that the children had
collected great part Of the wild roses
on the island and had stocked the house in
the visitors honor. Each woman was
assigned to a share of the four hundred
youngsters in the house and spent the day
In testing her imagination by inventing
ways of amusing them. In the evening
the women and children sang, danced, told
stories and did stunts.
Up to date the course has been a great
success, the philanthropists enjoying them
selves quite as much as the philanthropised

The CannOm-Aldrtch BIZ.

At this moment of returning financial
confidence, the Hon. JOSEPH W. CANNON,
expectant Speaker Of the House, by an
nouncing that the scheme to readjust the
currency, roughly known as the Aldrioh
bill, shall not be considered by the next
Congress, has chilled the hope that a
remedy might be found for certain mani
fest defects of our present currency sys-
tenn. Yet the very terms If his objec-
tions justify the idea that, after all, he
may come round to the opposite view.
What Mr.. CANNON opposes chiefly, is
what is known as an asset currency,
to use Mr.. CANNoN's more expressive
phraseology, a rubber currency, and
neither was ever an essential or legiti-
mate element of the Aldrich bill. We
cannot believe that an Aldrich-C Cannon
bill is beyond possibility, notwithstand-
ing the next Speaker was born in the
school that holds money to be the root
of all evil and the wishes Of Wall Street
to be anathema.
What is needed is bill to obviate the
standing danger that the excess Of Gov
eminent receipts over expenditures may
lock money up beyond the Secretary Of
the Treasury's power to get it back into
the channels of trade. Is 1t too much
to expect Uncle JOSEPH to put his
shoulder to Senator ALDRIcH's in the
endeavor in the next Congress to abolish
this danger for good and all?

The House of Refuge.

Governor ODELL's professed ignorance
of the disgraceful conditions that prevail
at the House of Refuge on Randall
Island appears strange indeed. He HIM
self heads the list of its thirty managers.
One Of his first official acts after he be-
came Governor was to make a personal
examination Of the State charitable in
stitutions, and from the information then
obtained he has obstinately backed his
Judgment on all questions affecting State
charities against the Judgment Of the best
experts on such questions in this State.
II there is any one subject on which the
Governor has pretended thorough I'M
Outstanding, it is in reference to these
same charitable institutions.
The purpose Of this House Of Refuge
is to make of the inmates useful members
of society, and the money of the taxpay-
ers could not DO put to better use than i'm
proving the conditions in this neglected
institution. The State Government now
stands self convicted Of neglecting the
House Of Refuge, and it is only because
a private citizen has pleaded the case for
these unfortunate inmates in the public
prints that the Governor has been forced
to do something for them.
This is entirely in line with Governor
ODELL's policy in all matters affecting
State charitable institutions. He has cut,
relentlessly and, according to his own
memoranda, ignorantly, urgent appro-
priations made this last year, apparently
with the sole idea of making record as
a tax reducer. Although the House Of
Refuge on Randall's Island is nominally
a private institution, it is really the joint
charge of the State and the city, and
the Governor cannot evade responsibility
for IL by any bubble.

only with hesitation permit ourselves to
make note or two. As a matter OF
human prudence, it may be better not to
ask for that impression OF farewell and
welcome The convention which has
grown up in 80 many ages has the au-
thority Of experience; and though there
are extreme cases where the woman has
to do the wooing, the party Of the other
part being dense or slow, even then she
must conceal her art and avoid demon
stration. Besides, think what aspre-
Adamite your husband is, Madam!
Thirty-five years old, a grave and rev.
erend person, settled, as you say, and
perhaps even little set in his ways.
No more nonsense for him. Ii he
stopped to innocent endearments when
he was counting you, all that is an
old story. You have been married more
than year; what do you expect? Why,
in less than forty-nine years you will be
celebrating your golden wedding. Must
DARBY and JOAN COO forever? After all,
marriage is a great business institution.
Will you not take a businesslike view of
it, as your husband probably does?
But this is too much like advice. BY
way Of consolation you may be inter-
ested to know that there are plenty Of
other women in the same boat. In so
many cases, after the roses and raptures,
comes period of, let us say, stolidity on
the part of the husband. The voice of
the turtle is heard no longer. The we'd
ding torches sputter or go out in the
light Of common day. The man has his
business. The woman dawdles or mopes
at home. He gets home and wants to
stay there. Selfish but businesslike.
He married to have home. He has had
his fun. He doesn't care to wander
from his own fireside. Naturally, she
wants some amusement Inevitably she
is surprised and panied when the lover
is lost in the husband. Some modus
vivendi must be arranged. Probably the
man means well. He is not conscious
Of his own selfishness. He is equally
unconscious Of the hopes, dreams or
illusions that he is crushing, of the SEN
sitive plant his clumsy feet are treading
on. 1t is so difficult for two willis and
two lives to blend. In this world of
wonders not the least marvel is that
marriage, that seeming impossibility,
the harmony of two variously diverse
natures, two sets of habits, opinions, de-
sires, prejudices, is, on the whole and in
the long run, 80 much of a success.
But the eager lover degenerates too
often into the oafish husband. What is
the remedy7 We cannot expect that the
women will admit that there is none, or
consent to phlosophic establishment.

GOTH REGIMENT COMPLAHNy.


Members OF Company Of the Sixty
ninth Regiment who forwarded a COM
plant few weeks ago against their COM
mander, Capt. Daniel p. Sullivan, learned
yesterday that it had been declared UNI
worthy Of further action by rsgimental
headquarters, on the ground that the ale
cations made were not proved. Some Of
them now declare that they will take the
case to the Adjutant- General.
Points in the complaint were chat SER
vice under the Captain is sagreeable; that
he announced lecture at the armory on
May by an officer Of the army, with music
and refreshments, but neither the officer,
refreshments nor music was on hand; that
he deducted company dues from State
checks for camp service, in violation of the
law; that no proper accounting of tickets
sold by the company for en- ertainments
last drill season had been made, and that
after some drills the Captain would bore the
men with speeches lasting from ten to twenty
minutes while at attention. The most
serious allegation was that Capt. Sullivan
had called the men dogs and ours In the

the property to the State.

of the State Legislature making the Cover

troller officers ex-officio OF the institution
and providing that the property should not
be used for any other private enterprise
without the consent of these three men.
This made the institution as nearly State

One OF the theatre managers announces
that he will next season have bars In his
theatres for the convenience OF his patrons
who will then be relieved from the necessity
OF having to leave the theatre building for
any reYreshment that they may desire. In
order to do this, II will be indispensable to
secure liquor licenses for the theatres, a
task already attempted several times and
always met with failure. The excise laws
prohibit the sale Of liquors in any place
directly connected with theatre, although
that rule has often been violated, There
are now two city theatres with bars opening
into their lobbies and in the cheaper thea
tres on the Bowery liquor is freely served
to the audiences during the performances
