 SHARP SHOT AT SMART SET,
New York Minister Says Genuine Ar lstoceacy Laughs at Them.

New York, August 31-In sermon at the Church of the Ephiphany on the Sins and Follies of Fashion," the Rev. Dean Richmond Rabbit has made an appeal for Christian earnestness and di9- nifty as a corrective to the abuses of fash lon in various circles of society, and criticized severely many of the reported doings of the so-called smart set in America"
 am more and more convinced" he said' that we of the clergy must preach clearly, pointedly. as forcefully as poss,. ble to the sins and follies of the times dwell less on the exodus of the Israelties from Egypt and more on the exodus of Christian virtues from American life.
 Each one of us is the keeper of chr,e- tian morals and public opinion to the ex- tent of our social abilities and influence. and 1t Is just as necessary for each of us to carry out reforms in ourselves and neighbors, if possible, as 1t would be to reform the entire nation. which is impos- sible.
 There are many ways to lool, a, tbe selfish, wasteful indecorous, baleful sc- tlons or the social smart set" who seem 10 make crusade to get their peculiar social antics in the newspapers, as en- thusiasts impale butterflies for exhibition in museum. The senseless class in the public initiate them, the sober-thinkIng class have a pitying contempt for them patriotic American abhors them and the genuine aristocracy of America and Eu- rope laughs at them Their example is pestilent to democratic America their an- ties violation of all moral sanity. their moral standard reprehensible at the bar of Christian morals; their lives with all their false glitter and brilliant frippery are personal degradation to themselves and they make rapid descent into that avernus of the senses where lie buried all the best and choicest of human aspira- tions"

REVOLUTION MAY
 BE THE RESULT
SPIRIT OF DISSATISFACTION PRE- WALLS ON ISTHMUS AS RESULT OF REJECTION OF THE CANAL TREATY.

New York, August 91.-The spirit of rev. olution is gaining in force on the isthmus as the result of the rejection of the canal treaty by the Colombian congress at Be- gotta, says a Times dispatch from Pan- anna.
 Only vigorous action on the part of the government can prevent an outbreak, the correspondent asserts, and it is doubtful whether such action is possible.
 General Huertas, commandant at Chiri- qui, and virtually the comrfiander of all the government forces in and around Pan- anna, is at this time the only officer to whom the government may look with any hope of checking any revolutionary spirit. Even he is warm sympathzer with the canal project.
 As for the naval force it is practically controlled by Americans or pro-Ameri- can -Englishmen. They form the gunn'ng. and engineering forces.

 A state dinner In honor of King Edward was given at the Hoffburg tonight The company present included the emperor. all the archdukes and archduchesseS, the ministers diplomats and the general staff of the army.
 Emperor Francis Joseph toasted King Edward in speech, in the course of which he hailed the latter's visit as a fresh pledge for the maintainance of the close confidential relations which have so long existed between the two families and countries, and which was all the firmer because there was no political in- terest or point of antagonism likely to cast the shadow of a cloud between them.
 The king, in response, expressed his thanks for the friendly sentiments ex- pressed towards him and the cordial re- ception he had met with, which he said had deeply touched him. He assured the emperor of the continuous feeling of friendship which he had inherited from Queen Victoria and concluded by appoint ing Emperor Francis Joseph a field mar shal in the army.

ANOTHER HEIR CROPS
 OUT IN THE FAIR CASE
What Pupos to be the Last Will and Testament of Charles Fair Comes to Presiding Judge Through the Mails
 Attorneys Believe t to be Big Joke

eleven months ago an heir. Charlie Fair, was brought forward in this city. al- though he never appeared in person and the matter was dropped without any in- vestigation. Whether one will come for ward and petition the court to probate the alleged will is a matter of conjecture.
 The mysteries of this purported heir in the person of Charles L. Fair, Jr. This heir was hinted at some months ago by Attorney William Cannon who stood sponsor for him, as entitled to a share of the estate of the millionaire. That child, however, was never produced in the flesh and the attorney never disclosed the identity of the mother.
 Attorney Cannon said of the alleged will: "I believe 1t is a fake and l will ask that 1t be admitted for probate. As far as the child of Charles l.. Fair Is con- cerned, I have nothing further to say at this time"
 Attorneys and others interested in the estate of the late Charles l.. Fair regard 1t as a hoax sent by some dull witted joker
