THANKSGIVING SERMON.
REV. MR. PERRY ON "RESPoNSI-
 BILITR OF PRIVILEGEn

Thanksgiving Sermon at St. PauPs
 Church Yesterday MOrning-Amer-
 iea's Great Cause for Gratitude to
 God and Our Duty.
 At the Thanksgiving service held in St. Pauls church yesterday morning, the Rev. James DeWolf Perry. rector of the church, preached on sThe Re- sponsibility of Privilege" The sermon was based on St. Matthew, x., 8, Free ly you have received, freely give."@
 The first words of this text echoed the note which has been sounding throughout the service this morning. The church in unison with the nation sounds a note of gratitude during this season until finally it swells into the Thanksgiving anthem. To-day thought full men must acknowledge on their knees that they have received freely at Gods hands. But this thought of bless ing is attended by the fact of responsi- bility. Every gift from God is a call to some sort os service.
 As citizens we are responsible for what we have received. The historian, James Bryce. recently made the re- mark that no people in the world have so good a cause as the American peo- pie to be optimists. Yet with our opti- mism there is too oftena strain of pride. We delight to recount the proceeds from our crops and commerce, and to review the rapid growth of our indus tries and railroads.
 This pride of so-called wealth is not real patriotism. The true patriot asks in reverent humility how these bless ings can be converted into the wealth which means the welfare Of the peo- pie.
 As Christians we have equal reason to be optimistic. Ours is a rich heritage of religious institutions. To enjoy these for our own sakes is to miss the real intention. The temptation of an his torical church like ours is in spiritual self-indulgence, We can overcome this danger only by praying as Christ pray ed to sanctify ourselves not for our own sakes, but for their sakes who have not these privileges.
 But independently of our relations to the church and to the state we have received rich blessings as men and women. We have been privileged in the conditions of our birth, in talents for which we have not labored, and in circumstances which we have not ere ated.
 What do these mean for us? Are they not the proof that God has some high purpose for our lives? No one can excuse himself from this divine respon- sibility by pleading poverty. The only shameful form of poverty is the SO called wealth that lies wasting in our hands, never finding it's real uses. The fact of our rich privileges imposes on us equal obligations
 Let our prayer at this Thanksgiving season be that as we have freely re ceived, we may as freely give.

MAY DRIVE IN ROTTEN ROW.
Queer Hereditary Prerogative of the
 Duke of St. Albans

Queer Hereditary Prerogative of the
 Duke of St. Albans.
 Any American girl who happens to marry the Duke of St. Albans, who is due here this week from England, will be entitled when with her husband to the altogether unique privilege of driv- ing through Rotten row, in London's Hyde park. It is a prerogative that is enjoyed only by the sovereign and by the Duke of St. Albans, and which not even the Prince and Princess of Wales or the other members of the royal fam lily are permitted to share.
 Rotten row, may explain for the benefit of those who have not been abroad, is the. fashionable ride in Hyde park, and is reserved exclusively for equestrians, all carriages being barred therefrom save that of the sovereign, when occupied by the monarch, or that of the Duke of St. Albans.
 | The strictness with which this rule is enforced became the subject on one oc- casion of an amusing wager on the part of Admiral Lord Charles Beres- ford, in which the present king, then Prince of Wales, who took part, was among the losers. Lord Charles un- dertook that, despite the vigilance ot

AN ANTICIPATING AXE.

Conspicuous among homeseekers at the Union Station yesterday morning was a middle-aged man of stalwart bearing and rugged appearance. But the impression was not made so much by the man as by what he carried as one of the pieces of his baggage.
 It was an old axe, of antique shape and worn nearly to the handle groove. The handle was old and partly decayed, but the homeseeker chung to it as the most valuable piece of baggage he carried. Struck by the presence of this peculiar piece, of baggage, a bystander asked for an explanation, and received this. story from the visitor:
 This old axe you see here has been in the Jeffries family for four genera tions and was handed down to me as the oldest member of our family. It is because of it's history that it iss valua- ble to me.
 Early in the 18th century one of my forefathers settled near Louisville. Ky. Tn fact where he located is now part of the city. This axe did service in clearing away a forest for one of the biggest towns in the United States, and was then carried by one of my grand fathers to near Dayton, O., where again | it was used. But at that time the axe was not brought into active service, as it was handed down as an heirloom be- cause of the fact that 1t had struck the first blow for our ancestry in the Blue Grass State.
 From Ohio it has migrated to Wis consin, and now am bringing it to Florida, where expectst to strike the first blow with 1t in clearing land for a farm in Manatee county. T am here to stay, and my family will follow in a few days.''

The chapel Is being painted by George Atwil and new floor has been laid in the dining room, and the one item of great importance needed is the introduction of gas, but as the pipes are laid only as far as the corner of Chapel street and New Ha- ven avenue it will be an event for fu- ture consideration.

TOY SPANIEL DOG SHOW.
Canine Aristocracy Has All Luxury

Canine Aristocracy Has All Luxury
 Money Can Buy.
 Reclining upon silken cushions, with |stylishly gowned women as attendants, and with all the airs and graces of tiny aristoerats, the toy dogs of high degree made their debut yesterday in the sec ond annual show of the Toy Spaniel club of America. They were shown and judged in the east room of the Waldorf-Astoria, and the judge, James Mortimer, finished thirty-nine classes out of the total of fifty-four. All through the list Dreamwold, the kennel of Thomas W. Lawson, showed prize winners, with the Ashton kennels and the Nellcote kennels also very strong in taking ribbons and awards. Mrs. Rich ards Harding Davis worA.in several classes with her Japanese spaniel, Crossroads Shogun. This dog took firsts in both the novice class for dogs and bitches, and also in the limit class, and third in theioper class. Consider able disappointment was occasioned because none of the classes Of Gitfon Bruxellois, the great feature of the show, were judged yesterday. It is in this class that Mrs. James L. Kerno- chan is regarded as one of the stron- gest exhibitors.
 Those panlpered pets are the real laristocrats of the world of dogs Seve- Iral of the champions have outfits that are truly gorgeous. One of the most fortunate of the ruby spaniels laps it's drink from a silver drinking drinking cup that lis elaborately engraved with the ini- tials of the fastidious canine. Not only that, but 1t has its own set of silver dishes from which it eats specially pre- pared food. All that is lacking is a French chef. So delicate are some of these bits of canine royalty thaa they are housed in elaborate French plate- glass kennels.
 These kennels appear very like a fine showcase in the dry goods stores, only they are decorated in manner beflt- ting the occupant. Each of these deli- cate creatures will have complete outfit, ranging from little rubber boots, which are put on 1t in damp weather, ] to dainty buankets that would be a boon to real live baby. Not only are these blankets of the downiest woolen stuff, but they are embroidered in the most beautiful needlework, so as to charm the eye of their pampered wear Ter. Some even have their monographs and initials set with jewels or in fine enamel work in their toilet sets, and the display is enough to put an ordina- | ry dog to shame and cause it to become green with envy. The values of these dogs run up into the thousands of dol- lars. and they are treated with respect because of their rank in dog society. Silver or plated bath bowls and other accessories to their toilets seem to be on every side, and they are the con stant care of one or more attendants,

CONDITIONS OF THE SIMPLE

 is Possible.
 There are two stages of civilization in which the simple life is possible. One is the colonial, the other is the highly finished stage. that one may see in spots iri England, in France and in Japan. colonists have of necessity cut out of their life great deal that most of us think necessary to our comfort or convenience, and they finA rich com pensation in their freedom from useless expenditures of time, strength and money. Certain cultivated classes in finished civilizations have learned at last the art of selection, of saying to themselves, 'aThere are certain things that we have come to look upon as su- premely desirable. These we will have, and these we will leisurely enjoy, Whatever interferes with ouA posses sion of these, or with our leisure to en- | joy them, shall be sacrificed
 Let us be specific. We will begin with an item of the most material and practical kind. The colonist has but little furniture. The cultivated Eng flishman or Frenchman of moderate means has little more. The Japanese gentleman of artistic sensibilities has least of all There is hardly a house in America that would not be improved in ! 'livableness,' in substantial comfort, and especially i'll attractiveness, if, some evening. the good man and his wife should sit down and make up a 1 list of exactly one-half of their posses sions to be consigned next morning to the bonfire. The American house of the family that has love of rare and curious things, as so many Americans have, is a museum, and the exhibits are everywhere in sight. The Japanese gentleman who boasts fine collection of rare vases keeps them in a fireproof cellar under the little garden. One beautiful object stands on low table in the living-room. From time to time | it goes back to storage, and another takes it's place. This practice is typical of the Japanese method of securing the simple life.
 Again we will cite habit of that people which, perhaps more than any
 other, has solved the problem of the

 To the Japanese mind strict cleanliness is the foundation of all the decencies

There is an inclination among the la- dies to rather over-feed the Dominic sometimes. and while that indirectly helps the sale of Grape-Nuts, it offers no suitable excuse for the makers to encourage the practice.
 A minister in Auburn, Ind, writes:- .sWhether it was from irregular habits and more or. less badly prepared food, taken during some of my travels or whether I have been too we'll cared for by my parishioners, does not seem en- tfreIy clear, however, the fact remains that indigestion set in and after per- iod of hard work, I came down with a genuine case of nervous prostration.

the police, he would succeed in driving up and down Rotten row in the middle of the day At the appointed time a number of the members Of the Marl- borough and Turf clubs who were in- terested in the, matter took up their station along the rail which separates the walk from the tide and awaited the appearance of Lord Charles. They had been there for nearly an hour, and were just about to depart, convinced that Beresford had either backed out or else had been stopped by the police, when suddenly the driver of watering cart, who had passed two or three times uo and down the row to lay the dust, raised his hat to them as he drove by, and, disclosing the features of Lord Charles, remarked that they would be obliged to pay up, since he had won his wager.
 This privilege of driving up and down Rotten row Is hereditary, and was con ferred by King Charles II, along with the dukedom of St. Albans and the he- reditary offices of registrar of the court of chancery and of hereditary grand falconer to the crown and master fal- coner of England, upon his illegitimate son by Nell Gwynn.
 The present duke, who is about thir- ty-four years of age, was formerly in , the army. and visited the United States, as well as India, China and Ja- pan, as Lord Burfurd in the lifetime of hiG F1 i,f bn Eoe, either in society or the turf, on which the late duke was, so prominent ffg- ure, since a sensational scene in the l Cowes week some years ago, when a sunstroke which he had received out in India brought on a sudden fit of violent delirium on board his steam yacht, { which necessitated his being placed un- der restraint for a time. It is not true that he has any Jewish blood in his i veins. For he is a son of the late dukes first marriage, and it was the tenth dukes second wife, and now sur- vivirg widow, who was the daughter of Ralph Bernal- Osborne, the noted wit of 1 the Victorian era, and whose own fath- CT, Ralph Bernal, M. P, was a convert ed Jew. One of the late dukes daugh- ters by this second marriage is Lady Katherine Somerset, married to that Henry Somerset who received his edu- ! cation at Harvard and is a son of Lady !; Henry Somerset.
 ! The present duke is very far from rich, as, naturally, the money which his ctep-mother brought into the family will go to her own children, the eldest of whom, Lord Osborne de Were Bau- { clerk, a captain of lancers, is heir ap- parent to the dukedom and to the es- { tate, which include Eastwood, one ot tho most beautiful places in the SO called "dukeries." It was originally l the favorite hunting lodge of the kings i of England in their expeditions fol ! sport in the adjacent forest of Sher. wood, celebrated in connection with Robin Hood, and was a. gift iron l Charles II in 1883 to his son, the firsi
 Duke of St. Albans. Eastwood is filled from cellar to garret with most inter. esting relics of the "merrie monarch

the storehouse of infectious germs. An American gentleman who stepped from the street pavement upon the floor of a Japanese teahouse without removing his shoes was shamed to see his enter tainers scrubbing and polishing the spot where his feet had rested. To maintain perfect cleanliness costs time and effort, but it prevents incalculable waste of time and effort in the end. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and to the highly-cultivated man godIiness itself is an unswerving devotion to es- sential truth, and essential truth con sists in eternally seeking to know the truth, rather will holding with stub born bigetry to formulations of sup posed truth that were taught to us in our childhood. Can any one measure the enormous waste of energy, of hap piness, that might have been avoided if throughout the long warfare of en- lightenment with tradition every man had been honest with himself and had unfiinchingly resolved that he would adhere with single-mindedness to a purpose to learn or discover truth rather than to purpose to defend some for mutation of doctrine with which busi- ness or social interests have become entangled.
 Tn the end it all comes to this: We may, if we will, select from the infi- nite mass of things, of activities, of in- terests, of alleged principles. pressing. upon us with their remorseless de- mands, those few royalties that are really essential, really fine. really worth while. and let all the rest go. So to choose is to live the simple life, and to make life worth the living New York Independent.
