Female Angels Most
Numerous IN England


opecldl correspondence OF Inc Star
LONDON, October ii, 1905.
Few of the monuments in St Pauls Ca
thedral and Westminster Abbey would es-
cape nutilation If it were decided to emu
late the example CT the ecclesiastical au-
thorities of the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine New York, and exclude female an
gels. Most of those that appear In the two
famous Valhallas of England, offering lau-
rel wreaths and other consolatory en-
blems to PROSTATE heroes, are of the femi-
nine persuasion. Their figures, braided hair,
dainty hands and flowing robes all clearly
proclaim their sex. And their wings, like
the sails of Dante's Yurgatorial boat show
clearly that the sculptors who modelled
them intended them for angels quite capa
BILE of long distance flights.
FlaXen-haired ladies with wings and long
flowing robes predominant also among the
stained glass representations of these heav-
emily creatures. Whatever may be the opin-
ions of ecclesiologists to whether or no
there is scriptural sanction for it there can
be no doubt that the glorined woman with
pinions is the popular type of angel in Eng
land.
The controversy regarding the sex of an
gels, which Signor Borgium's frenzied de-
struction of his rejected statuary has pre-
cipitated on the other side, has aroused
keen interest here
Angels" says one artist who makes a
speciality of them, should be regarded as
a distinct order of things, not as human
beings promoted to a higher state, and
therefore it is not at all Illogical to re-
gard them IS sexless. Artists have always
found difficulty in depicting satisfactory
angel. 1t Is not easy to combine the virile
strength and power of the masculine char
acter with the gracefulness, the refinement
and the spirituality of the feminine. There
are very few artists living or dead whose
types of angels are convincing. To my
mind Botticelli is far more successful with
his angels than any other artist, and he
has combined the two natures in an ex-
qulsite blend. The correct angel nowadays
is quite sexless."
The sexless angel represents a compro-
mise Most of the clerics here who have
been interviewed on the subject stand out
for unmistakable masculine angels and re-
pudiate the feminine type utterly as con-
trary to scripture But as long as most
folk prefer the female angel on mortuary
monuments, female angels continue to be
produced. 1t is not likely, however, that
any more of them will be added to the COL
lections in st. Pauls and Westminster Abb
hey, for the reason that there Is no more
room for them.

STORIES OF MUT|NY
On Russian Battlesh ip Kniaz
Potemkin.
Special cableeram to The sta-.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, October 2S.-There are several very
interesting points about the account of the
mutiny on the Kniaz Potemkin, which the
ringleader Matouchenko has written for the
benefit of Russian friends here. Matou-
chenko after having spent few days at
CostanZa made his way TO Geneva and then
paid a brief visit to Switzerland. where he
settled In charming locality" the exact
location of which has not been revealed.
The famous sailor desires to keep the re-
treat which he has chosen a profound Sc
cret But in his letters he declares that the
mutiny was not spontaneous, but that it
had long been premeditated. The whole
plan had been arranged several months pre-
viously at meeting of the revolutionary
section at Sevastopol. 1t had been agreed
that when the squadron started on it's
spring cruise and was making for Ten
droosk a signal should be given from a
particular ship. The sailors would seize
their carbines and to the cry of Long live
liberty" would proceed TO the officers quar-
ters kill the bad ones and put the good
ones on the shore. Then the entire squad
ron would sail to Odessa, where ii would
demand the transformation of the regular
army into national militia, the institution
of a popular government and the release
of all of the political prisoners at Odessa.
Thus it would go from port to port in the
Black sea, but all of these projects we're
thwarted by the incident which led to the
mutiny on the KniaZ Potemkin.
Then comes the story of the trouble about
the soup. Matouchenko lays all the blame
on the officers. The men were contenting
themselves with bread and water when the
captain came up and insisted When the
order followed for those who were ready
eat soup TO leave the ranks only a few
petty officers complied and the sailors were
maddened when they heard that twenty of
their number were to be shot. They
off for their carbines and soon the cry OF
Long live liberty" resounded There was
terrible and decisive moment. 1t was
a question of life or death for the sailors or
the officers. observation-disclosures had been seen
loading his carbine and comrade who had
been doing the same thing, after Neou-
pokoief and fired at him. Neoupokoief fell
with his skull fractured and the man threw
his body overheard and took up his car
bine.
Having run behind the turret he perceived
Guiliarovski with carbne in his hand and
Vokoulentchouk welterlng in his blood. 1t
was Guilarovski who had killed our very
dear comrade. Guiliarovski was then shot
and his body thrown into the sea-

Penny Postage.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
LONDON. October 2s.-Mr. Henniker
Heaton, whose efforts for postal reform have
been SO astonishingly successful, has initi-
ated a movement even greater than the
movement for the imperial penny postage
which he has already carried to a triumph
ant issue. Early in August he sent out a
copy Of the striking appeal for universal
penny postage. He has just made public
the first results of his efforts. The repre-
sentative names include those OF the arch
bishop of Canterbury and the bishop of
London, the Roman Catholic archbishorH
of Westminster and Dublin the lord mayors
of London and Dublin and the lord provost
of Glasgow, the Duke of Rutland, Lord
Roberts, Lord Armstrong. Lord Strathcona,

Hamilton, Mr.. Rudyard Kipling and a great
number of peers and members Of parlia-
ment.
penny rate to the United States IS the
first advantage that would be conferred
by the arrangement advocated by Mr.. Hem
mixer Heaton. Mr.. Heaton discusses In de-
tail his statement that Mr.. Wanamaker,
ex-Postmaster General of the United States.
has interested himself in the matter to the
extent of discussing it practically with the
American ambassador to England, Mr..
Whitelaw Reid.

SEX OF THE. ANGEL
Arouses Interest in Great
Britain.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, October 2s-The question as
to what is the sex of the angel, which has
been agitating theological circles In Amer
lea, is now attracting attention on this side
of the water. The destruction of the an
gels at the Cathedral of st. John the d.
vine in New York by Mr.. Borglum, the
sculptor, because the clergy objected to the
angels being represented as women, has
started the clergy to talking on this side
of the water.
Archdeacon Sinclair claims that there is
no formulated church doctrine upon the
subject of angels.
"Au opinions about them,'' he said, ARE
founded on what is said in the Old and the
New Testaments. In the Bible they are al
ways represented as men-or, at any rate,
with the appearance of youths.
1.-THE idea no doubt would be that they
have no sex at all. See, for example,
Christ's words: In the kingdom of heaven
they neither marry nor are given in mar
riage, but are as the angels
"At the period of both the Old and the
New Testaments women were considered
greatly inferior to men, and the idea of fe-
males in the character of angels would
have been quite impossible.
1.-THE church has always founded its tradi-
ton on these views, and angels have been
always represented accordingly, like the
two young men VINO are SAID 10 be seated
in robes of light at the head and foot of
the tomb of Christ
1.-THE idea of female angels has come In
through the influence of the renaissance
reviving conceptions of the heather god
desses. There has also been a tendency in
art generally to symbolic the virtues and
powers OF nature. such as Courage Truth,
Purity, and the Spirits of the Storm and
the Mountains, etc. in female form. But,
to speak generally the ecclesiastical tradi-
ton is founded on the Hebrew, and that is
very strictly exclusive.

THREF-FoLD SUICIDE.
Mutual Arrangement of a Peculiar
Nature

Special Cablegram to The Star
VIENNA. October 2S.-A curious case of
three-fold suicide by mutual arrangement
is reported from Sa1zburg.
Three young men named Lechner, Grie-
bernig and Butzmuller who were unable to
obtain work, pooled what money they had
and bought revolver.
With the remainder of the money they
paid for a sumptuous dinner at a restau-
rant, and ostentatiously drank to each 9TH
er's future.
Then they went to the cemetery. The
first shot himself through the head The
second took the revolver from the dead
mans hand and followed his example. The
last emptied the third chamber of the re-
yo.ver into his mouth.
The next morning the three bodies were
found lying almost side by side.
In the pocket of the eldest of the three
letter was discovered addressed to the
mayor explaining the arrangement.
