This From a Woman Lawyeri

From the New York Sun
This very remarkable letter comes to US
from a woman lawyer of this town who Is
an expert in patent suits"
ITO the Editor of the Sun-Sir: When
two people are drawn together by the In
visible power of love. the church and state
will not recognize that God is love but In
sist that God Is magistrate, notary, O.
priest, or the like. Every sane, thinking
person knows that people are constantly
marrying where no true love exists, and
also that people very often mistake fleet
ing passion for love; yet, If two such peo-
pie have been Joined by a man god, that is,
magistrate, etc. and then true love forces
one of them into desire for union with
another, the church rises in great indigna-
ton and shouts God Is not love-God Is a
politician of state or church.
THE person who takes literally the view
that God is love- propounded by John, is
branded under the misnamed title free
lover by those who have not the slightest
conception of the highest force in nature
true love. AS a rule, those who love so
deeply that they forced by that love
to disregard the opinion of the church and
believe that God is love usually follow the
commandment Thou shalt have but one
God E. ]. G.
New York, June IT,
This is about what has been said lately
by a man who deserted his wife, the mother
of his six children, for a young typewriter
of whom he had become enamored. He Is
in love so deeply" that he is forced by
that love to disregard" his duty He holds
himself TO be under a higher law" and
he. too, calls It love"
This woman lawyer says that ministers
and magistrates often marry people who
mistake fleeing passion for love" Very
likely; but how about the people who love
so deeply that they are forced by that love
to disregard the opinion of the church,
that is. get along with an Illicit union? If
man takes fancy to another woman
than his wife or a woman to another man
than her husband, that fancy she calls
true love-; for, of course, there would be
no need of putting up such a defense unless
the law of marriage was violated.
We are astonished that a woman who
seems to have even a respectable place at
the bar should write such wretched stuff
TO us. 'Iove'-what is lover Is It sem
timent apart from self-respect, from the
law of society; yagarious impulse to be
followed blindly and madly without regard
to established social morals? A woman
lawyer who has not learned that legitI-
mate marriage is essential to the conserv-
alton of society, and more particularly the
protection of women and children, has pur-
sued her studies to very little purpose.
She Is an anarchist, not a lawyer. She
says she renders obedience to her higher
nature; actually she is under the dominion
of her lower senses. True h,Nc'-hoshi
The saddest degradation OF society GENES
from the eroticism which aba ea.ss love.

DIFFERENT KIND OF MULES.
Classification Depends Upon Work

From the Kansas City Star.

Among dealers who supply the different de-
mands he is classified according to weight,
bone. size, color, age mouth. teeth, broken
or unbroloen, length and breadth and also IN
regard to the locality of the buyer. In the
first place green unbroken mules are never
wanted. Once in while we receive a few,
and generally have to sell them at a sacri-
flee. The principal classes of mules known
to the market are cotton mules, lumber
mules railroad mules, sugar mules. farm
mules levee mules. city mules and miners.
Miners are classed as surface and pit mules.
Cotton mules are the commonest kind in

Sugar mules belong to the fancy class:
They must be smooth, built rangy, small
head and neck, small bones. Farm mules
vary in size. but are formed from the re-

"Levee mules, as the word implies, are
used near steamboats, and docks for the

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR NOTES.

Many delegates to the recent interna-
tional Christian Endeavor convention at
Baltimore have been visiting and seeing the
sights in Washington. 1t is estimated that
the number Of those who came over on e:t-
cursions last Saturday and of those who
have come since the close of the convention
will run up into the thousands. A great many
of these Endeavorers could be distinguished
by their badges. which they still wore. Be
sides the convention badge many state and
local badges were to be seen.
Visitors coming Saturday and Tuesday
were met at the trains by members of the
reception committee Of the District Chris
tian Endeavor Union. under the chairman
ship of Hermon c. Metcalf, and those de-
string il were shown TO places of enter
tainment and given information about the
city. Some mer.oers of the committee acted
as guides for peTties of sightseers.
Many OF the local Christian Endeavor
societies are planning to hold Baltimore
echo meetings next Sunday or in the near
future
The Christian Endeavor Society at Grand
view Va. near Chain bridge. has elected
the following new officers for the remain
der this year: President. Walter Marcy;
vice president. julius Marcy; secretary,
Miss Emma Troup; treasurer, Mrs. Troup.
Most OF the Washington societies which
were awarded diplomas at the Baltimore
convention for good work were represented
b. delegates who were present to receive
the awards. few societies, however, were
not so represented, and the diplomas and
recognition booklets for the societies
were delivered to the officers of the Dis
trict Christian Endeavor Union, and will
be obtained on application at the office of
the union, 14l3 g street northwest.
The Christian Endeavor Society of the
Plymouth Congregational Church has
changed its time of meeting from Tuesday
evening to Sunday evening from $50 to
T:30 o'clock. During the summer the society
meeting takes the place of the regular
evening service of the church. This So
ciety held an echo meeting Of the Balti-
more convention last Sunday night though
the convention had not closed at that time.

Applied truth.
Paul Gerhardt, prosecuted. poor obliged
to leave his country on account of his firm
religious convictions, came one night to the
climax of his troubles. Footsore and
weary he found retreat in which to pray
in little arbor by the way. while his dis
couraged wife sat near by weeping. And
as he prayed his words took the form OF
the wonderful hymn which has been sung
by so many discouraged ones since:
''Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy signs and counts thy tears
He shall lift up thy head"
And that very same night there came rid
ing two messengers from Duke Christian
inviting him to a home.

Car Ventilation,

From the Baltimore Sun.
The ordinance forbidding splitting in the
streets and street cars can be greatly i'm
proved, from the point of view of sanitary
science, by an addition requiring a more
thorough ventilation of the cars. The air
in closed car, containing perhaps 40 per-
sons, becomes very offensive, not to say
dangerous, being contaminated with an ex-
cess of carbonie acid and possibly with
germs of tuberculosis. The smell on
damp, cold day is often almost intolerable
Most of the cars nowadays are provided
with venttlators in the roof. If the Venti-
lators were opened somewhat when the cars
get filed with people the impure air would
escape and be replaced with fresh air; but
the conductors seem to think the ventila-
tors are for use only in summer when the
weather Is hot. They need to be instruct
ed that contaminated air is worse than hot
air-that the ventilators should be par
TALLY open all the year round, especially
when the cars are full, or nearly full It
is as bad to leave them shut when the
weather Is cold as it is to leave the front
door Of the car open on passengers liable to
pneumonia AS at present managed the
cars may be expected to favor greatly the
spread of contagious diseases, as well as
consumption. The conductor Is no doubt
generally very busy man, but he can well
find time to attend to ventIlators, II in
structed to do SO.

A Southerner's Frank Confession.

The following special dispatch from
Washington appears In the New York
Tribune:
Prominent men from the south, delegat-
ed by the citizens of Birmingham Ala,
and Knoxville. Tenn, to extend to Presi-
uent Roosevelt a cordial invitation to in
clude those cities in his contemplated

regard and enjoyment with Booker r.

After the visit to the White House to-
day member of the delegation, who is
one of the most influential democrats in
the south, and takes an active part In pub
lie affairs, declared, in describing the four

The Anti-Pool Room Crusade

All present indications point to a decisive
victory in Alexandria county by the agen
cies of law and order over the owners and
managers Of the pool rooms that have for
years been Furnishing in that jurisdiction
Prosecuting Attorney Maekey's latest
stroke in bringing charges that would stick
and forcing an agreement from the pool
room people to vacate the county NAV he
accepted as a Knockout blow, as far as
that part of the state is concerned. But
what the people of Washington and Alex
andria county are anxious now to know is
whether these establishments will be imme-
diately set up elsewhere, and. if so, whether
they VIII flourish despite public sentiment,
as they nave for so many seasons across
the river. Washington is particularly con-
cerned, for from this city is drawn the
bulk of the patronage of the gambling
dives.
1t is possible that the pool room people
may shift their plants to Alexandria city
which lies outside of the jurisdiction of
Prosecutor Mackey. Yet one of the coun-
sci for the defendants In the cases settled
yesterday has declared. it is said. that the
city will not be the scene Of future OPERA
tons. Some point in Maryland Immediately
suggests itself as an alternative. Thus far
the efforts of the District and of those off,
Gals of Maryland who are earnestly OPP
posed to such enterprises have awaited to
keep the gamblers from settling comfort
ably in that part OF the state bordering
upon the District But 1t has been sus-
pected that the promoters of the various
schemes for placing pool rooms on the
Maryland side of the boundary have been
in large measure checked by the interven-
ton of the st. Asaph and Jackson City
managers, who viewed possible division
OF the spoils with serious alarm. Just
whether these gentry can now ensconce
themselves at some point in Maryland re-
mains to be seen. If they make a move in
that direction 1t is assured that the District
will forthwith demand of the state authori-
ties a rigid enforcement of the laws or, If
the existing statutes are not sufficient to
cover the case, the enactment and enforce
ment of new laws which will grant the
capital immunity from these pestilential
enterprises on its very doorstep.

Croker and the King,

Is Richard Croker coming back? This
story about his trouble with the officials
Of the Newmarket race course should make
him very popular again with his old cronies
in New York. He was forbidden to train
his horses at the course, and the reason
given is that on one occasion at sale of
horses he bid against a representative of
King Edward, although warned that 1t was
had form. 1t is risky to win from royalty
al cards, perilous to fail to see the point
OF royalty's joke. and something like trea-
SON to shoot in the hunting field where
royalty takes aim. Mr. Crokers idea that
sport, like death, is a great leveler is not
calculated for the Newmarket meridian.
The ex-boss Is now residing in Ireland,
and probably we shall see him in New
York soon again.

A grave and regrettable feature of this
race racket is that 1t serves so mean and
contemplate purpose. 1t is full of n.y.
pocrisy, and has no other object than to
injure the lowly of the one race and mis-
lead the ignorant of the other. 1t is raised
in campaign times, when the blood is up

those who employ it the most Justify are
among those best advised of it's hollow

after few more years even the shabbiest
politician will not be able to capitalize it
at a single red cent.
