BISHOP PROTESTS
AGAINST 'PARSIFAL."
Thinks the Last supper When Pro-
duced on the Stage VIII BE Profa-
nation of the Savior.

NEW YORK, Dec. Alright Rev. Freder-
ick Burgess. d. D.. bishop of Long Island.
preached a sermon in st. Paurs Chapel,
New York, to-day, in which he protested
against the forthcoming production of
''ParsifaP' in this city. He did not men
ton the opera by name. but he left no
doubt as to his meaning when he said:
The last supper, with its sacred feeling
and associations. is TO be placed before our
eyes. We cannot be blinded to the blasphe-
my OF this by all the grand harmony and
fine language that even a great artist can
give us. Let them laugh at US, sneer at us
even. II they must choose plots from the
bible. but, at least let that story of our
Lord remain as sacred. Let them choose
whom they will for plays from all charac-
tiers IN history, but by all odds let this man.

being was too holy to be profaned before
our eyes. Let Us be spared this climax
for the scoffers on our Christmas eve"
The first performance OF "Parsifal' Is to
be given on Christmas eve.

That genteel old-time colored person, once
characterized by an observing man as "a
black white lady," and known to all South
ern-born Americans as "Aunty'' or BLACK
Nanny" is rapidly becoming one of the
rarest types of American humanity.
On the outskirts of the city, along White
river. the other day. a couple of bachelor
girls on autumnal pedestrian tramp en-
countered one OF these high-quality old
black women. Hmping along with bundle
Of wood she had picked up on the river
bank. Although her garb was faded and
ragged, her shoes old and her head grizzled
by time the old black woman, who was
smoking a short-stemmed stone pipe, car
ried cheerful old wrinkled face and eyed
the two bachelor girls with a friendly
glance that invited conversation.
Rest your burden. Aunty, and talk to
u.s." said one Of the spinsters, adding ''You
seem to enjoy that pipe. 1 always envy
anybody who smokes pipe. When I'm a
little older / m going to get me pipe, too"
The old black woman's face took on a pro-
found and desperate seriousness; all the
sparkle died out of her much-dimmed old
eyes. She laid a protesting hand on the
bachelor girls shoulder and said earnestly:
Don't y do it. honey. don't y do it.
why not, Aunty?'" the bachelor girl
asked.
"Cause, honey, dere'll be lots O. times
vi wisht y had tobacker when y liant got
none.
A discreet tobacco fund for "Aunty" was
made UP on the spot and the two bachelor
girls, on future pedestrian trips at the
White river trail, will always hope to en-
old black lady and her comforting little
stone pipe.

DEFINES FUNCTIONS
OF TERMINALS.
:. ID. Webster Claims That st.

S. u. Webster. general claim agent of the
Terminal Association. at a recent meeting
of the st. Louis Railway Club. Mr.. Web
ster. after exlIaustively reviewing the his
tory of the Terminal Association. closes
with suggestions springing from the pres
ent consested situation and the definition
of the normal functions of terminal or
belt roads. which he defines to be:
First-The simple operation Of inter-
changing cars between roads.
Second-The handling of freight for local
loading and delivery to roads. or converse
ly to receive from the roads loaded cars
for local delivery.
Mr.. Webster claims that for the local
delivery. such as coal. lumber and mer-
chandise. the track and yard room should
the demand. and tracks and yards suffi-
cient to place all the cars that ship
pers might call for should be provided.
Mr.. Webster contends that, 1t is hardly
incumbent upon the terminals to furnish
for railroads an indefinite and more or
less unlimited track and yard room. be-
cause the roads fail to supply them for
themselves
Further. for the interchange of cars all
that should he required from the inter-
mediary is that 1t take from one and de-
liver 10 the other road such cars as are
rendered for that purpose and there
should be no obligation on the Terminal
to hold these cars until the road to which
they are CONSIGNED can & receive ,- them: =,

the roads offering. could any day in the
year block completely half the roads to
which the cars are consigned, but u the
roads were to take care of the offerings
all the roads of the city would be unequal
to blocking the terminals.
