THE SATIATED AGE.
Ward Times For Clergyncn. Teach
erS and Providers of Pleasure.


Clergymen in g"eat numbers remark
in these days upon the difficulty OF i'll
teresting audiences, much more OF
drawing audiences. In New York
late census indicates tie sparse ratio
of population attending divine worship
both in Roman Catholic and in lrotcs-
tant churches. Religion is no less fun
damental or needful, but the atten-
tion of people seems harder to gain.
Sensation and advertisement attempt
the problem, but the desired results
faraway subjects do not startle the
people. and many clcrgymen droop i'll
enthusiasm and take on peSsimistic
views. The same cry goes up from the
theatrical managers along broadway,
who decry the small audiences and the
lack of appreciative response.
Newspapers by the million tell the
worlds news, coupled with fiction and
philosophy, often of a high order, of
ten exaggerated rubbish. Blazing head
lines no longer make readers Shudder
Great accidents and foul murders seem
no longer to stir them as of yore 1t
seems to be q Satiated age, we'll fed
we'll instructed in matters as they 60,
but difficult to interest Formerly the
Travelled man was the joy of his
friends. Now all seem to have trav
eled. and few will listen. Formerly the
college graduate was a center of inter-
est and influence. Now college men
are legion i'll every community. DO
they command as much respect? For
merly the boy looked forward to col
lege days and wondered at the mystic
life he hoped to live. Now that is all
lived and experienced in the prepare
| tory school. and the boy goes solemnly
| forth to the university with no smile
upon his face. Il sober youth hard to
| interest He also belongs to the sati-
ated age, and this makes it more diff
! cult for those who are called upon to
handle him. In short, in every avenue
| of life knowledge has been spread al
most to Satiation.
| However, though this erudition or eX-
perience be superficial rather than fun
| damental, We can gain at least some
comfort when we consider that we are
| probably part of the age and are quite
as difficult to interest as those whom
we attempt to handle.-Century.

Revolution of the Orient.

Almost everywhere in the far east
the old days of cheap living are passing
away Steamers, railways, telegraphs,
newspapers. labor saving machinery
and the production of western ideas
are slowly hut surely revolutionizing
the orient. Shangtung wheat, which
formerly had no market beyond a r."
dius of a few dozen miles from the
wheatfield, can now be shipped by
railway and steamship to any part Of
the world, and in consequence every
Chinese buyer has to pay more for It.
In like manner new facilities for ex-
port have doubled, trebled and in some
cases quadrupled the price of rice In
China, Siam and Japan.

The Caesar Young Mystery

New York, June 6.-The inquest into
the death of Caesar" Young, the book
maker, who came to his death by shoot
ing in cab on Saturday while in COM
pany with Annie Patterson, whose stage
name is Nan Randolph, was adjourned
this afternoon without the taking OF
testimony until next Friday. Coroner
Brown fixed bail for Mrs. Patterson,
who is under arrest, at $4,000. This
will be furnished today and the young
woman will be released from the Tombs.
The motion to adjourn the case was made
by Assistant District Attorney Garvan,
who stated to Coroner Brown that certain
witnesses who were essential to the case,
were still being sea- ched for. He also
said that Mrs. Young, the widow, who
is an important witness is in no condi-
ton to appear.
Mrs. Patterson sat beside her father
and counsel in court ard was in a
highly nervous condition. The inquest
was opened at one o'clock and Mrs.
Patterson, in charge of an officer, was
brought into court. Abe Levy, counsel
for Mrs. Patterson, protested against an
adjournment, and insisted that the tax
ing of testimony be commenced. Levy
said the District Attorney had developed
nothing new since last Saturday, and it
was unjust to restrain Mrs. Patterson
from her liberty.
