Der, on which date all the Masonic or

knowledge, Mrs 7. M. Walton, the
estimable wife of the Eminent Com
maDder that night installed IN the
highest post Of the evening, and the
decorations in the banquet room as

fore all present attested to the ladies'
answering fidelity to the order and

Poetry and sentiment must clear the
track before the march Of progress,
says the Baltimore American; but that
writer was never more mistaken. All
the progress worth the name ever ac-
complished in the worlds history was
the result Of poetry and sentiment.
The poet D'Lisle, when he composed
the "Marseillaise /" did more for hu-
man progress than all the m~aterialism
Of commercialIsm can hope to accom-
plish this side Of the millennium. When
human nature is dead to poetry and
sentiment, human progress is progress
no more, but stagnation.

Literary Note.

The announcement that "Brews-
ter's Millions,' by Richard Greaves,
was really written by George Barr
McCutcheon, throws an interesting
light upon the methods of publishers
and the taste of the public. At the
time of its publication, the book was
exploited as the work of an unknown
author, and his photographs were
printed in the literary columns of
newspapers all over the country. As
they represented kind of matinee
girls idol, they probably helped to
give the book start. Details of the
career of this imaginary author were
also printed until the public began
to grow interested In the new celebr-
ity With this kind of aid. but with
out the help of the reputation of its
real author. the book sold on its mer-
its. and justified Mr.. McCutcheon s
opinion that popularity lay in the
quality Of the work itself rather than
i'm the fame of the writer. Thel story
was the outcome of an idea suggested
to Mr.. McCutcheon by his brother
Ben as theme for a short story. In
Discussing it with his publisher. Mr..
Stone thought the. scheme large
enough for a novel. and wanted it
worked up for immediate publication
But as another new novel. by Mr.. Me-
Cutcheon had already been announced
and advertised. it was decided TO pub
lish brewster ANONYMOUSLY and Sc
if the public really liked the work as
well as ii liked the author. As re-
suit. Mr.. McCutcheon wrote the book
in six weeks and published it under
the nom de plume of Richard
Greaves. It's success has been not
able enough to justify the belief that
merit will be discovered even when
it wears disguise.

The yield has been most satisfactory.
and the farmers would have had good
year but for the price of their pota-
toes being So low. The market price
for prime stock at railroad stations

cents for barrel. The low price is
attributed to large crops in other Sec
tons. to its being presidential cleo

EPISCOPALIANS AND DIVORCE.


There now seems to be little doubt
that the Protestant Episcopal church
Of America will alter its canon relat-
ING to the marriage of divorced per-
sons so that a man or woman dlvorc-
ed for any cause will not be permit
ted to remarry through the sacred
Offices of Episcopal clergyman. The
general convention devoted two hours
to the discussion of this problem
Yesterday and while no agreement
was reached it heard majority re-
port favorin@ revision OF the canon
and applauded fervent addresses by
many delegates who asserted that the
hour had come for the church to OBJ
literate constantly growing men
acehto society,"
Early in the discussion there devel-
oped general opposition to the pres
ent canon, which permits the innocent
party of pair divorced on the
ground of infdelity to be married
again, though denying this privilege
to the other. The majority, however,
presented a report asking the con-
- a. ,
and only to strengthen the cause by
instructing clergymen to look to the
civil court which sundered the mar
riage tie for such facts concerning
a divorce as were needed. By this
plan. it was held. the minister would
make no blunder and the innocent
party could be recognized easily and
given the marriage VOWS.
The debate became so ardent that
delegates asserted the verses in st.
Matthew dealing with divorce were
by not means clear. In this chapter,
said certain of the deputies, Christ
took firm stand against many mar
ried persons, and in reply to many
questions denied the Righteousness or
wisdom Of the law of Moses, which
permitted legal separation.
The chairman of the committee
on cannon, Rev. DR.. F. P. Davenport,
of Memphis, submitted the majority
report, which recommended the fol-
lowing amendments:
If any minister of this church shall
have reasonable cause to doubt whe-
Their a person DESTROYS of being adj
mitted to holy baptism or to confr-
nation or to the holy communion has

nances, shall refer the case to the
bishop for his godly judgment shall
in any case refuse the sacraments to
a penitent person in imminet danger
of death, or to any person who shall
aver that he, or she, was
the innocent party in a divorce for
the cause of infdelity.
