less the average New Yorker likes his
policemen. Part of the remarkable eff
ficiency of the metropolitan police rests
in the fact that the police are admired
respected, liked. The recent bestowal
OF "Slocum Medals" one of the echoes
of the steamboat disaster, was a typical
incident. Police bravery in any Amer.
lean city is likely to elicit bravo" and
perhaps substantial recognition. But
in New York there is something like
sentimentalism on this subject. The
medals presented by the East Side asso-
citation bear this inscriptions: "For hu.
name conduct, sympathetic zeal and
kindness in relieving distress"
The popular zeal in praising police
bravery has just resulted in a police
Board of Honor" which is to look into
the claims of policemen for medals and
commentator. Seldom day passes"
says the chief of police, ''in which three
or four policemen do not receive COM
mendation. Medals are getting COM
mon. think it would be well to know
that We have real hero when medal
is given The policeman who jumps
off pier and saves small boy is no
longer to be in the way of a medal. This
sort of thing is to be regarded as part OF
his job. But for special or extraordinary
acts of bravery there is to be recogni-
ton. and it is this new board of honor
that is to draw the line between mere
duty and special heroism.

ty-fifth annual meeting. These meet
ings, held under the jurisdiction of the
Methodist church, were true old-time
camp meetings when they began, and
they SO remained for many-at least q
score-seasons Then notifications
crept in, partly because change had
crept into the Methodism of the city and
it's suburbs. The change extended to
other camp meetings at Newick, for in
stance, and at Sea Cliff-and these
places all became more like permanent
summer colonies than like camp meet
ings. The meeting, lasting for week or
ten days, became an incident, and an
incident less and less spectacular. The
shouting" days are over, and with
those days have passed the habit of go
ing to camp meeting out of curiosity.
The church people tell me that the re-
ligious spirit is as strong as ever, and
that the fruits of these meetings, which
draw together audiences of immense
size, are as rich and as gratifying as
they ever were.
1t is notable that 4 strong liberal
movement has entered these summer
meetings in and about New York. De-
nominational lines are much relaxed,
and the whole effect is of a summer
church into which it is hoped that all
evangelical Christians may be drawn.

YESTERDAY

l
The result was great rush to the
| blessed saloon. There is an annex de-
voted to the sale of soft" drinks. It
| bears a sign announcing that "This is
the way to the Water Wagon But
the rush was chiefly to the hard drink
! bar Perhaps the Investigating Gus
toners wished to convince themselves
could be bought in a consecrated tavern.
If this was their object they were fully
convinced. The saloon is doing land
office business. And the air of New
York is full of loud cries. Nearly every
clergyman who has remained in town
has expressed an opinion one way or the
| other on this Innovation, and the chorus
rises from all parts of the country.
Many of the clerical criticisms are ex-
ceedingly bitter. A few testify the
bishop as having taken part in a purely
modern experiment with benevolent
purpose whose outcome should be
awaited with reasonable patience. The
w. C. T. U. women have called special
meetings, and there is lively contro-
versy in many quarters. The newspa-
pers are still giving more space to the
discussion than to the war 1t must be
admitted that up to date the majority
opinion runs against Bishop Potter.
'.Going too far" is the judgment even Of
the liberals. Perhaps it would have been
better if Mr. Johnson hadn't put out the
sign. And, by the way. have omitted
to mention that all the other saloon
keepers in New York. who are selling
just the same goods, are profoundly dis
gusted. t4

for special dishes. Her sewing is never
elaborate, for her clothes are so simple
that plain neat stitching is all that she
need know. The splendidly embroid-
cred robes which were once worn by
ladies at the various Daimio courts were
never, as it might be imagined, worked
at home; they were given to profession
ais, who were trained in the art from
generation to generation. The only sort
OF fancy work Japanese ladies ever did,
Miss Bacon says in her Japanese Girls
and Women, and she had unusual a0-
vantages for knowing, was curious sort
of patchwork made of silk. Flower ar
ranging and flower painting seem to
have been the correct accomplishments
of the educated classes, who, of course,
were never allowed to learn singing ar
dancing-the biwa, fiat instrument
which lies on the floor, was the only ono
recognized by the upper classes.
It must be borne in mind that Japa-
nese woman never expects her life to be
interesting, for she does not consider
herself as an individual, but as a do
nestle complement to man. To admit
tina: she was dull would be to sin against
the teachings of perfect submission"
After her box OF rice is boiled in the
morning and the little toy-like house has
been aired and the god-self ''honored,'
her days work is practically over.
A great deal of ceremonious calling
takes place which helps to fill up her
