DENOMIN ATOMS
ARE Considered
Clergy Join in Discussion
of Greek, Roman Catholic
and Protestant Churches
UNITY OF CHRISTENDOlI
Mrs. Meserve Gives Graphic
Description of a Good
Friday Service Abroad

THE Unity of Christendom" was the
subject of long and scholarly discus
sion before the San Francisco Associa-
ton of Congregational Churches and
Ministers yesterday at Plymouth Con-
gregational Church, Post street, near
Webster. The Rev. E. L. Walz was
moderator. The Rev. Sebastian Dabo-
vich, priest of the Russo Greek
Church, was present
The Rev. George c. Adams, D. D.,
took for his argument The Orthodox
Greek Church and the Unity of Chris
tendom," wherein he traced the church
in all its stages, showing where 1t had
lost it's power, while the Roman Catho-
lie Church maintained its authority.
The Roman Catholic church, he said,
had kept from schisms. The Greek
church could not succeed in holding
what it had conquered. There were
200, 100000 Roman Catholics, he said,
150,000,000 Protestants and 90,000,000 of
the Greek church, so, as a matter OF
fact, the last named was not as strong
as its name would imply.
Mrs. Cora D. Meserve, in giving a
descriptive account of An Easter in a
Greek Church in London" told of the
procession on Good Friday In it came
the priest with swinging, fra
grant censer, the bishop with
his rich vestments and chanting
voice, singing boys and priests.
each bearing lighted candle.
And in the midst of all was borne the
bier with its pathetic figure of the
blessed Savior of mankind, covered
with the grand canopy and carried by
the appointed priests in the funeral
march.
The Roman Catholic Church and
the Unity of Christendom' was the
subject allotted to the Rev. William
RAIDER, who said that the first thing in
Roman Catholicism which had made
for unity was an orthodox faith in the
fundamentals of theology. The Roman
Catholic church. he said, had never wa
vered in it's faith in the divine nature
of Christ.
THE Protestant Church and the
Unity of Christendom" was treated by
the Rev. l. c. Meserve, D. D., who said
that all differences were softening up
Christian unity. He said it was coming
in the Protestant world first
Unity of Christendom BY and In the
Spirit was taken up by the Rev. W.
H. Hopkins of Berkeley, who was Of
opinion that it was not feasible that
there could be unity of form, while he
upheld unity in the spirit. He consid-
cred that there had not been a day
within this generation when the church
could accomplish so much as now. The
differences, he thought, might be left to
care for themselves.
Among those who discussed the topic
were the Rev. DIR. Wiley, Rev. Mr..
Earl, Rev. Mr.. Scudder, Rev. w. H.
Atkinson, Henry Wall, B. A. and Rev.
H. A. Luckenbach. Mrs Charles W.
O'Brien presided at the organ.

DEMAND FOR LOOT
AMONG FASHIONABLES
How a Shrewd Old Junk Dealer Built
Up a Trade In Odds and
Ends.


What an odd fascination the word
loot has for some people" said a
Tenth avenue junk dealer, whom
drink had converted from a school
teacher to the keeper of a queer little
shanty in which all sorts of odds and
ends may be bought or sold.
When the rummage sale was a
fashionable device for raising money
for charity some of the swell folk
from up on the west side took to COM
ing down here to search for odd bar
gains In this mass of cast-off stuff,
but the fad passed.
Then an idea struck me, and when
a couple of young women came In
here one day to look for old braSses.
when 1 didn't have a piece of brass
in the place. 1 told them If they
wouldn't give me away l would show
them some Fifth avenue loot that l
had bought from the gentleman burg
lar who gave Captain Lantry so much
trouble.
They just jumped at the word loot
and paid me well for some bric-abrac
that / had bought from tenement
family that had seen better days.
They must have passed the word
around, for ever since then have had
a steady business with well-dressed
women, who come in and whisper
mysteriously, Have you got any loot?'
/ tell you it keeps fne busy collecting
stuff that 1 can pass off as having been
stolen from fashionable homes and in
venting tales to make 1t attractive. =

An Archbishop's Joke.

The Right Rev. DR.. Randall Thomas
Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury
more than held his own as raconteur
during his visit to Fernleigh Over. the
county seat of Bishop Potter. This Is
one of his stories: When l was a
young man / once made an impassion-
ed appeal on behalf of a foreign mis-
sionary to an audience composed OF my
rural parshioners. The following
week / was surprised on entering a
provision shop in the village to be
greeted with marked GOODNESS by the
worthy dame who kept it. On asking
the reason of this strange treatment
the good woman produced half
crown from a drawer, and, throwing it
down before my astonished eyes.
snapped: I marked that half crown
and put it in the plate last Sunday,
and here 1t is back again In my shop.
I knowed we'll enough them niggers
would never get the money. Lon

FREDERIC MISTRAL
AND THE NOBEL PRIZE
Provencal Poet VIII Devote His
Award to Develop His Museum
at Aries

Frederic Mistral, the Provencal poet,
recently awarded 50000f by the
Swedish Academy as half share of the
NOBEL Prize for Literature, now states
MS intention of devoting this sum to
the development and adequate installa-
ton of the little chronological museum
LIE Musee Arletan-founded by him
some years ago at Aries. For this
purpose the municipal authorities agree
TO make over an old palace, now used
as a college. the restoration and adap-
tatlon of which will cost z5O,000f.
The matter has engaged the interest
OF an American resident of Avignon,
SUBSCRIPTION and undertakes to ar
range tor five lectures in the United
States-New York, Philadelphia, Bal
tlmore and Boston being the suggested
cltles-to help on the fund thus in
augurated. Mr.. Leon is confident that
the remaining 150 000f will be easily
raised, for he writes: In France you
nave no idea of the prestige Mistral
enjoys with us. At the present time he
is the most popular of your writer's.
Ihe poet himself expresses the hope
that the restored building may by and
Dy become the palace of the Felibrige.

SEA-GAZING GREAT
SPORT IN BERMUDA
Wonderful Life of Crystal Depths
as Revealed to the
Observer,

1t was little parrot fish who started
out so briskly on this summer morning.
whether he was eager to keep an ap-
polntment or had been unexpectedly
summoned to a distant part of the
world one will never know. but one
may be certain that the matter was of
the greatest consequence so far as the
little flsh was concerned. Keeping his
bright eyes fixed straight ahead. he
passed a corner of the reef where the
coral was incruSted with mollusks and
sea- -urchins and where a pair of beau
tlful squirrel fish, deeply engrossed in
sentimental affairs, turned to look after
him wonderingly through their enor-
nous eyes. Below, in a deep pool

warned of his danger, turned quickly
away, he gave his attention to pair
OF gray snappers-great. quiet, ghost
ly figures that seemed like two shad-
ows drifting slowly along, far down
through the green waters.
A few feet farther on and the hurry
ing parrot-fish passed a tall sea-fan
around which three dainty butterfly
fish, clad brilliantly in yellow. were
peering into each nook and corner in
their search for small prey. while
sober cowf1Sh, with his two conspicu-
Gus horns, looked on sedately. Sud-
denly the parrot-fish turned sharply
aside to avoid spot where the. reef
was broken by jutting rocks covered
with green ulva; around this a school
of bright little zebra-striped sergeant
majors were sporting, while just to the
right an angel fish, whose blue body
tipped with gold first attracted the at

cording TO the Indianapolis News. and
assisted the girl into the privacy OF a

tended to her professionally. The
Queen then made inquiries about the
girl. She was milliner, who, having
failed to get work at her trade, had

support of an invalid mother, but with
such poor success that she was nearly
starved. The Queen is now her patron

ee2 PEOPLE KILLED
ON NEW YORK ROADS
Report of Railroad Commission for
1904 Shows Also 2399 Persons
Injured

Increased operating expenses chiefly
cause a falling off in net earnings for
the year ending June 30, 1904, covered
by the annual report of the State
Railroad Commission, recently issued.
Net earnings for 1904 were less by
s311,47 than in 1908. Expenses of oper-
alton were $24O 1885, 437: in 1903 they
were $226, ,991, ,079. The report ascribes
the increase principally to the rise
in wages, greater cost of fuel for loco
motives and the unusually severe WIN
ter of 1903-1904.
The total number Of persons killed
was 952; injured, 1899. In 1903 SS4 were
killed and 1926 injured. The report as
cribes the increase in casualties to the
greater number of trains operated, for
improvements in roadbeds and equip
ment, which should have diminished
the number of accidents, have been
many. Only twelve of those killed and
446 of those injured in 1904 were passen-
gers. The average for the past five
years is eighteen passengers killed and
349 injured.
Regarding street surface roads the
board reports the cost of their road and
a gain of $4,000, 900 over 1903. Net
earnings from operation were $780,
567,122 in 1904 and $40, ,715.127 in 1908.
These roads still have In their equip
ment 4443 horses, but the number
shows decrease of over 600 since 1908.
In the year 1913 persons were killed on
street surface roads and 878 injured.
The report says that while improve
ments of these roads have continued,
especially on suburban and interurban
lines, few of the older and less i'm
portant roads are not in proper condi-
ton. One of the most serious defects
exists in the method of train dispatch
ing. A uniform method must be adopt
ed to insure safety of operation.-New

Desertions and Their Cause.

Frequency of desertions from the
army and navy are readily traceable
to national characteristics-to the free
and easy democratic ways of independ-
ent young America who is used to
come and go as he pleases and unused
to restraint, and is bred to change his
occupation and domfcile at will and to
pull up stakes and move on whenever
the humor seizes him. The tempera-
ment is not conductive to patient en-
durance of the irksome restraints and
obligations of discipline. But the
American sailor or soldier has the COM
pensating merits of his defects. He is
not a well-drilled automaton or a fixed
cog in the machine, but he is quick to
act and think for himself in an emer-
gency.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
