MRS. FAY AND THE REPORTERS CASH

lady a the Nara gansett Hotel last night.
1t was Mrs Eva Fay. who appears at

comfortable leather upholstered kind.
The reporter was about TO sit down and

OF the chair, when that article Of furniture

The reporter felt In order 10 make sure
that Il was not an automobile and then
sat
Just one favor, Mrs. Fay" said he. IF
Il starts again, please ring the bell
Mrs Fay laughed and I'm two seconds

There was n lull I'm the conversation.
The reporter thought ne would Ike 10
ask Mrs. Fay how the chair moved, but,
taking another think" he feared that
she might make IL move and give him
switch back ride through the parlor,
which would Jar the dignity OF the pro-

SERMON ON
SABBATH
OBSERVANCE

In a logical and interesting sermon at
the First Baptist church yesterday. Rev.
Dr. H. NJ King. the pastor, pointed out
several ways how the Sabbath could be
httingly observed and the whole world
improved, He took as the text OF his SER
mon, And He said unto them, the Sab
bath was made for man. and not man
for the Sabbath; therefore the son of man
is Lord also of the Sabbath"
According to the speaker Christ was
the typical man. being the Master Direc-
tor, Lawgiver of them and OF their Sun
day and man is responsible to Him for
the use he makes Of Sunday
He saw four uses and IL they were right
ly remembered and observed the abuses
would fall away of themselves. First.
Sunday should be made a day OF rest and
physical and mental recuperation. not sim
ply as a cessation from the customary
activities as an end I'm itself. but in order
TO secure needed physical and mental re-
cuperation.
Secondly a right and necessary use OF
the Sunday is a cultivation OF the family
ties Thirdly. the Lords day should be
devoted 10 the performing OF deeds OF
charity and practical sympathy. The
fourth and most important use OF the
Sabbath should be a devoting OF the day
TO worship. for IL hath been said They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength
Therefore / say that II the Lord
day is 20 be kept Il must be kept by
Gods people. lovingly cheerfully. con-
scientiously. And the day 10 be worth
the keeping must be anchored in the
house Of God. Otherwise II will drift
upon the rocks and go to pieces. Rest.
family charity. worship--let these be
written upon the gates of every Sunday
morning and IT'S sun will soon rise upon
the new and better world

THE CHIEFS
DIFFER IN
OPINIONS

Washington. oct. 2.-There is good rea-
son to believe that a crisis will soon be
reached in the relations between Frank
T. Sargent. commissioner general of inn
migration, and George Uhler. supervising
Inspector general Of the steamboat in
spection service. on the one hand and
Secretary Metcalf Of the department OF
commerce on the other.
In fact, IL is said on good authority
that Messrs Sargent and Uhler may soon
retire from the public service.
IL has been known here for some months
that. while on the surface the relations
OF the commissioner general Of immigra-
ton and the supervising Inspector general
Of the steamboat service with the head OF
the department have been cordial. as a
matter OF fact trouble has been brewing
and a break is a matter OF short time
only
Messrs Sargent and Uhler have a COM
mon cause for complaint and dissatisfac-
ton. Their friends say that they have
been shorn OF a large part OF their au-
thorty and that much OF the work for
merly done by them is now referred TO
Herbert *. Smith, deputy commissioners
OF corporations.
Mr.. Uhler and Mr. Smith were mem
bers OF the federal commission created by
President Roosevelt TO inquire into and
fix the responsibility for the disaster 20
the steamer General Slocum In New York
harbor last year. Lawrence q. Murphy,
assistant secretary OF commerce. also
served on that commission.
Mr.. J.--er's troubles began AZ that time.
He was not in harmony with his associate
commissioners and was criticised by some
- 1zT - n n
sured I'm the report OF the commission.
When the rules governing the steam
boat inspection service were revised Mr'
Smith was consulted by Secretary Met
calf, TO the practical exclusion OF the
supervising inspector general
Last winter the department submitted
a number OF bills 10 congress, proposing
important amendments 10 the steam
boat inspection rules. In the main these
measures were the work OF Mr.. Smith
An order was issued last week calling
for reinspection of all vessels under
the Jurisdiction OF the United states
Inspector General Uhler was
not even aware that such step was
under considera ton until Secretary Met
calls order was made public. Reinspec-
ton was decided upon by secretary Met
calf and Assistant Secretary Iiurray
without consulting the supervising IN
spector general
While Messrs Sargent and Uhler deny
that they are dissatisfied with the pres
ent condition OF affairs in the department,
II is known that they are and It would
surprise no one here II President Roose-
Welt took a hand in the controversy The
Bureau and the steamboat
Inspestion Service are practically IN
state~of decentralization as result OF the
frame of mind OF their respective chiefs'

Arctic Center, at the lO:45 o'clock high
mass yesterday. He declared that Supt
Glover had only once though several
times requested, furnished copies OF the
towns examination papers, but that II
was a courtesy accorded the parochial
schools by the superintendents of schools
in every other city and town in the state
He expressed a wish that the Catholic
members OF the school committee-two
OF the seven members OF the board are
Catholics-might ask him certain ques-
tions and answer some OF his, and fol-
lowed this by saying that he desired TO
say publicly that he repeated his charges
of discrimination and unfairness in the
examination the children OF his school
were required 10 take, nearly three
months after the close OF the school year.
and promised his hearers that justice
would be done. II not now, later on.
The members OF the committee declare
they have absolutely nothing 10 do with
the examination Of candidates for admis-
sion 10 the warwick nRn school, except
10 order the holding OF such examination
by the superintendent. and so far as their
investigation OF the circumstances attend
ing the holding Of the entrance examina-
tions had gone. there was nothing to in
dicate that there had been unfairness or
discrimination, or that II would have been
possible under the conditions under which
the examinations were held The teacher
who conducted the examination and the
teachers who marked the papers OF the
candidates did not know and had no
means of knowing who the children were,
or from what school they had graduated.
