WOMEN IN CHURCH cHoIRs.

Policy to Exclude Them from Catholic
Choirs Regarded Impracticable.
Despite the fact that Pope Plus has
expressed a wish that there should be
no more women in Catholic church
choirs and that ecclesiastical music,
as distinguished from what Father
Wagner of Brooklyn terms ''holy rag
time,'' should be sung, little attention
is being paid to the matter in this
country. One Eastern bishop has mott
fed the clergy under him to reorganize
their choirs and have only male voices
but his example is not being followed.
Choirmaster Edmund De Wine of the
Cathedral parish, Kansas City, No..
contends that to remove women sing
ers from American Catholic choirs
would mean to abolish the choirs.
I'VE would have to substitute boys
voices for those of women" said the
choirmaster, "and it would be impos-
sible to get enough boys banded to-

A gentleman who has acquired ju-

as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food
He says:

The Nelson Act.

In 1863, when group Of mortar
schooners joined their fire to that of
the other vessels which were besieging
Port Hudson, Admiral Schley, then a
young man, was in temporary COM
mand. There was, he says, in his
"Forty-Five Years Under the Flag"
almost no breeze, and the signal flags
hung listlessly The great volume OF
smoke from ships guns and fortifica-
tons increased the difficulty Of read
ing signals. and although the quarter
master reported that one was flying,
he added that he was unable 20 I'M
derstand it because there was too lit
tie wind to blow the flags out.
The action was continued until every
gun of the enemy had ceased firing.
Then the ship dropped down to its
former position, and, after anchoring,
young Schley made a visit to Admiral
Farragut to report. Farrag gut was on
the quarter deck and after responding
to the young mans salute, he said:
Captain, you begin early in life to
disobey orders. Did you see that sig
nal flying for nearly an hour to with
draw from action
This was blow, for Captain Schley
had felt that his action was entirely
creditable. He stammered something
about the smoke and the difficulty of
reading signals.
81 don't want any Of this Nelson
business in my squadron" said the adj
miral, quickly, about failing to see
signals"
The young man went on to explain
that it had been impossible to interpret
the signal, and that since he had been
given orders to destroy the citadel he
felt sure that he was to retire only
when that duty was done.
The admiral merely invited him into
his cabin. When the door was closed
upon them, Farragut said, smilingly:
II have censured you. sir, on the quar-
ter deck for what appeared to be a
disregard Of my orders. / now COM
mend you and your officers and men
for doing what you believed to be right
in the circumstances. Do it again
whenever, in your judgment, it is nee.
essary to carry out your conception Of
duty"

Restored.

Southern people have lately received
into their Confederate Museum a bust
of "Stonewall' Jackson which had
been missing since the fall Of Rich
mond. When the city was taken, a
guard was placed in the house of Pres
ident Jefferson Davis. A soldier Of the
guard stole from the mantel a small
bust Of Jackson and took it North
with him.
Last winter Richmond gentleman
was lecturing in Boston on General
Lee. In the audience was the soldier
who had committed the theft. Some
good motive led him to put the bust
In the lecturers Lands, the lecturer de-
Hvered it to the Confederate Museum,
which is Davis house, and SO it re-
turned home after an absence Of forty
years.
To make the story complete, vis-
itor recognized the bust as one she
had seen, and discovered after some
search the name Of the artist, a Balti-
more sculptor, who had made it from
a death mask which he took himself.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Ten deaths
and more than a score Of prostrations
resulted today from the intense heat
wave which visited the city. A CRATE
full breeze from the sea served in
measure to temper the torrid tempera-
ture and excessive humidity, but the
suffering, especially in the swarminS
tenement house quarters, was intense
and throughout the day the ambu-
lances were kept busy removing the
sunstruck patients to the various hos
pitals.
At 1 o'clock the thermometer regis
tered SO degrees, two degrees higher
than yesterday, and remained at this
point until s o'clock, when a heavy
thunderstorm with a deluge Of rain
descended on Brooklyn, the lower por-
tion of Manhattan and suburban towns
in New Jersey. The storm brought a
sudden fall in the mercury, which
dropped thirteen degrees within half
an hour, effectually breaking the hot
wave. This evening the cool breeze
continued with every prospect that IL
would hold during the night. The rain
storm almost attained the proportions
of cloudburst in the lower section of
Manhattan and within ten minutes
many Of the downtown streets were
flooded to the level of the sidewalks.
Broad street, in the vicinity of the
Stock exchange, was rendered impass-
ible and brokers on curb" were COM
PEELED to hasten the close of the market
and flee before the rising flood. A tor
rent poured down Broadway and State
street, poured into the new subway
station at South Ferry, flooding the
tracks nearly to the level of the third
rail and for a time threatening to in"
terrupt traffic by short circuiting the
current. Within half an hour the flood
subsided.
During the height of the storm the
administration building on Ellis ISL
and where there were 1000 immigrants,
was struck twice by lightning but sus-
tained only trlfling damage.

NEW YORK, July 10.--When Nance
O'Neill appeared last month in Austria
liza to fulfill her winter engagement she
announced as a part of her repertoire
Judith of Bethulia," by Thomas
Bailey Aldrich.
This play was first produced in New
York last winter with Miss O'Neill in
the leading part. The announcement
brought out public defiance from S
A. Mills, an Australian, who charged
that Judith" was stolen bodily from a
play Of his, written under contract for
Miss ONeill when she was last in Aus
tralia.
Mills said that he himself had worked
from an old play by Giocometti, and he
registered his opinion that Mckee Ran
kin had turned his play over to AL
drich, representing it as being Gioco-
mettis. He further quoted a number
of incidents not to be found in Gioco-
mettis play which he charged Aldrich
with cribbing. Mills copyright is dated
two years earlier than that of Aldrich.
At last accounts j. c. Williamson,
Miss ONeills Australian manager, had
about made up his mind to withdraw
the play in the interests of peace.
