The San Francisco call., 1904-09-11

Is expressed by English yachtsmen
that Sir Thomas Upton should enter a
fourth Shamrock for the Americas
cup under the same conditions that
governed the last contest. 1t was gen.
orally believed that the challenger
would ask for change on the meas
urement rules. which have made the
designers problem one Of providing
the largest and lightest hull on given
water line. 1t is evident that Sir
Thomas prefers to renew the contest
under the old conditions under which
he has been so badly beaten than to
secure a possible victory by the aid of
new rules. The Yachting World, how
ever, calls Sir Thomas Liptons atten-
ton to the fact, that it is not a per-
sonal matter between him and the
New York Yacht Club and asks in the
interests of international sport that
he placed himself unreservedly In the
hands of his designers.

soldier Cannon Be ChrLstlan.

LONDON, Sept. 1O.-The Rev. r. c.
Fedingham. vicar of Hexton. says he
is going to America in October to
preach his remarkable doctrine Of
War and Christianity" He considers
it possible that Christianity. which
died as far back as the fourth CEN
tury, may be restored because the
churches don't try to teach that a
young man cannot commit a greater
sin than that of enIisting.. He says all
churches are apostate. He declares
Christian churches should excommuni-
cate generals and colonels till they
give up their profession. How can a
man be Christian, he asks, who
takes money for numbering his fellow
men? If the churches were Chris
tian they could stop all wars.

Astor as pictured by his surroundings.
Anything a little out of order moves
him to bitterness, which probably ex-
plains an incident that did more to
hurt him with London society than
could be undone by any amount of
lavish gifts of charity. Through some
misunderstanding Sir Alexander Berke-
ley-Milne, one Of the most popular of
society men, was present without in
vitation-without a formal invitation,
at least-at a big party given by Mr.
Astor. The host was so irritated by
the fact that he had it published in
his own paper the next day. Now Sir
Alexander was perfectly innocent Of
offense, and was. moreover. a personal
friend of the King and Queen. Her
Majesty took especial pains that he
should be seen in her box at the opera
Immediately after the publication Of
the item, and since then Mr.. Astor has
not had royal approval. although his
daughter has been a favorite with both
the Queen and the Prince of Wales.
The Queen took a hand, too, in an
other dispute in which the millionaire
became involved through insistence on
his rights, TO the great detriment of his
popularity. That was his conflict with

fort Of society to solve the servant girl

allowed to make money out of her ac-
complishments until she has passed

ceived her diploma. The club further
stipulates that to retain their connec-
ton with the club the graduates must
not enter households where they will
be simply one among other servants
who are not gentlefolk by birth. The
result is that they either enter ser

exists between the Dowager Duchess
and Queen Alexandra.
