BFRNHARDTs RELIGION

In recent article in an English
magazine Sarah Bernhardt makes the
following interesting coufession:
Our Roman Catholic religion has al
ways had an immense charm for me,
and l am still very sincere member of
the faith, although I have not time to
follow all its practices. 1t appeals to
me both emotionally and aesthetically,
and as a young girl I had serious
, thoughts of becoming a religeuse. 1t
seemed an outlet for my soul, over
flowing with exalted sentiment, in spite
of my Maynard and passionate tenn
permanent. st. Augustin, the patron
saint of the convent, was my ideal, and
that and my devotion to the Virgin
made my religion very real. Moreover,
the artistic beauties Of the church and
its cult We're and are still an abiding
| charm to me. 1t is for this reason that
pieces of a mystic or religious nature,
like La Passion and La Samaritaine,
commend themselves to me as illustra-
tive of religious facts which appeal to
our deepest feelings. They thus evoke
my keenest sympathy and demand all
that is exalting in dramatic art

How to deal with the Trusts, one OF
the burning questions before the ma
tiraal administration to-day, receives a
new aspect in view of the utterances Of
United States Circuit Judge Grosscup
in an address delivered by him at d
dinner at the Hamilton club, Chicago,
Saturday night. Judge GrosscuI's name
has been prominently before the ma
ton owing to his fearless and timely
decision during the Chicago riots which
grew out of the great railroad strike
and when Debs was fourishing apace.
Other decisions of national Importance
have been rendered by him. Judge
Grosscup suggests a new remedy for
curling and restraining the power of
the Trusts and preventing them from
encroaching upon the interests Of the
public. His idea is to have the people
form big trusts to fight other big trusts.
Competition by individuals doesn't
work and cannot succeed, he argues. He
thinks the view outlined by the admin
istration through the Attorney General
falls short OF hitting the core of the dis
order, their main remedy being to nur-
ture against the trusts competition by
+ individuals, in other words, to neutral
ize the power of the trusts by individ-
! x,11 t1Ir
holds that courts are almost as help
less in commanding men to compete
parents in seeking to compel young pao-
pie to live apart who wish to live to-
gether; or the law in commanding hus-
band and wife to live together who are
determined to live apart. The real COM
petitor of the future must be itself a
great corporation. Individuals can do
little against their antagonists"
The learned Judge further remarks:
THE real monopoly behind the present
consolidation is the monopoly Of CONVEX
tible capital. Give security to the peo-
pie in the matter of investments made
by themselves directly as individuals.
and this monopoly will disappear, and
competition be restored TO it's natural
field from which to recruit and organize
it's financial forces"
These be words worth considering.
They are frankly uttered and there is
force in them. But the difficulty is in
the application of the theory.

schoOlma am, the aristoeratic sprig Of
Boston's royalty. the immaculate de-
scendant of John Alden, of Governor
Winthrop, Of Bunker Hill heroes and
Of FaneuiI Hall orators.-all were he
smirched alike, If they ventured out.
London has her intense, almost impen-
etrable fogs. Connecticut and New Jer-
sey and vicinity have had their yellow
day" and Boston is having Its sooty
days. Last Tuesday in particular was
the banner day for SCOT. 1t was one of
the worst soDty days of this memorable
sooty seasan there, and was a day long
to be remembered in Bost0n's annals.
No one who had calling or shopping to
do or any outdoor business to attend
to, was exempt from an all-pervading
deposit of scot upon their apparel, and
in generous allowance. What a har
vest the laundrymen there must be
reaping! Our New Haven laundrymen
who have just combined to raise the
price of their work in some lines would
sing paeans of joy could they share in
the prosperity which attends their Bos-
ton co-Workers. It was a sorroWful
sight that Boston had last Tuesday,
and in the course of an editorial on the
subject the Boston Transcript thus be-
walls the situation as regards the fair
! sex, to say nothing of the lamentation
! in behalf of the mems shirt fronts and
, collars: Gone would be the freshness
! of a crisp white shirt waist in about
fifteen minutes of such a cataclysm Of
SCOT as that which visited our streets
on Tuesday, and the least of mankind
knows that when that virtue is gone
from the shirt waist it becomes a dis
| consolate-l looking covering, and nothing
more, AS for the rest Of us, we shall
miss sOrely on summer mornings and
summer nights those pleasing sights of
| open cars laden with white shirt waist
girls, for they do so cheer mere men
with their sWeetly wholesome atm0s-
phere that they can undertake their
days work with great courage and
bravery"

NDT.i BIZ T..

! According to Mr.. Capen, president of
the American Board Of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, important
changes are planned in the work as
carried on under the direction of the
commissioners and which include the
making of a special effort this year
to secure from the churches tributary
to the board the money requisite to the
adequate carrying on of the boards
work. He says that the field for the
boards work was never SO great as
now and that the desire Of far away
peoples to have the best that our
Christian religion can give seems to be
constantly increasing" All the boards
colleges and schools, he adds, are filled
to overlooking with eager young men
| and women DESTROYS Of Christian edu-
/ cation. The boards hospitals are una
/ BILE to adequately care for all of the
/ sick and suffering who apply. In none
Of the fields of work of the board can
the fields be fully covered for lack of
sufficient funds. Mr.. Capen proposes a
movement as a denomination all along
! the lines for educating and interesting
the young people of the churches as re-
CARDS missionary work, what 1t accom-
plishes and what is needed for doing
! the work, and urges the adoption of the
! pledge plan in giving money for the
spread of the gospel in foreign lands
He urges the cooperation and hearty
interest of the corporate members in
this work to the end of getting the
plan before congregations through the
pastors of churches. A million dollars
year at least is required for the
boards work. The treasurer of the
board, Mr.. Wiggin, presents some strik-
| ing facts in this connection. He says
that encouragement and hope come
from all the mission fields of the Amer
lean Board. Converts have been larger
in number than the average, and
churches, hospitals and schools have
| been thronged to the full limit of their
, capacity. In the various hospitals and
dispensaries 100000 people have been
helped by the Christian physician or
the trained nurse. The orphans of Ar
menia and the famine sufferers of In
| dia, have been ministered to, and a
very large number of boys and girls in
the different lands, at least $4,000 in
/ all, are receiving the care and training
which will fit them for useful and hap
Ply lives.

NINE. DE sEvIGNE's HOME.

Despite many efforts to balk him
Count 1}oni de Castellane has become
the possessor of the famous Chateau de
Grignan, where Nine de Sevigne passed
her last years and died. The Adhemar
de Monteils built the Chateau de Orig
nan. In the sixte> nth century this
great family of the Midi merged into a
branch of the Castellane family, that of
the barons of Entrecasteaux, and be-
came the Marquises and Counts Of
Grignan. This line, however, disap-
peared in 1704 with the death of Louis
Provence de Castellane, Adhemar
d'Orano de Monteil, grandson of the
famous Nine. Sevigne. The chateau
has three facades, one built by Man
sard. Its gallery and library are par
ticularly interesting, and the view from
the terraces is magnificent. The quaint
village of Grignan is full of souvenirs
of Nine. de Sevigne, and her ashes re-
