Wife Is Vigorously Denied
by Him.

NEW YORK, April l+,-When Max
i'm Gorky arrived in this country Tues
day he stated to immigration officials
that he was accompanied by Madame
Gorky, This morning a statement was
published that his companion was not
his legal wife. As result of the ac-
cusaton Gorky today issued state
ment denying the accusation. Gorky
says he does not believe the American
people originated it but it was concoct-
ed by friends of the Russian government
He declares that Madame Gorky is his
wifc-the wife of Maxim Gorky. He
also stated that the publication of such

der should have gained credence, The
published story asserted that the Mad.
anne Gorky now with the author is
Andre Eva. Russian actress, With
whom it is stated Gorky has lived since
the separation from his wife two years
ago. An explanation was made that it
was impossible for Gorky to secure a
divorce in Russia owing to strong of,
fetal antagonism and to secure a di-
voNe in Finland and he was married
to Andre Eva before notary.
Mary Twain when asked whether he
would refuse to act on the committee
to forward the Russian revolutionary

effect the publication would have on the

that he believed in sticking to the flag

WASHINGTON, April 1.-TWO years
later to day, from the day of the ia
tai Battleship Missouri disaster, on Fri
day and on the Isth of the month, six
men were done to death in the forward
tuuett of the battleship Kearsarge by
one of those accidents which acquire
additional terror for sailors because of
their obscure origin and their almost
impossibility Of prevention. The At.
lantic feet for weeks has been engag.
ed in the most severe drills in the Car
ribbean Sea, eliminating in the quarter
ly target practice. This practice was
just concluded with the most satisfac-
tory results when today just at the close
of the weeks work at the department,
a cablegram came from Admiral Evans
telling of a dreadful accident on the
Kearsarge. The news came from Cal
menera, a little cable station at the
mouth of Guantanamo Bay and was as
follows: "0n April 18th, at 3:I5 p.
m. shortly after the completion of
target practice on the Kearsarge, while
the powder was going below, three sec

A Century Ago.

Over 100 years ago Benjamin
Ionry Latrobe was advocating the
movement in national education
which is now slowly but surely TAX
,ng place in all of our great schools
and colleges. The following is quot
cd from The Journal of Latrobe,"
which the Appletons published last
year. The extract is dated 1893:
American citizens may be d.
riacd into three classes-cultivato
If the soil, artisans, and merchants.
II the practical sciences, the first
1aye most occasion for a knowledge
of chemistry, natural history, and
natural philosophy; the second, of
those branchebs of mathematics usu-
ally called mechanics Cor materia
appllcata), and the third, of numeral
mathematics. To each a general
range of science is highly useful, but
these ought, in my opinion, to be the
leading subjects of education in an
American seminary. They may be
acquired without the knowledge Of
Latin or Greek, although an ac-
quaintance with these beautiful Ian
guages will greatly ease the men,
ory in retaining the technical vocab-
ulary and assist in comprehending
precise meaning of terms, most Of
which are taken from them"

Aiuch-Trayelcd Cask.

Two of the drift casks which were
set loose in Behring Sea at the insti-
cation of President Henry G. Bryant
of the Geographical Society of Phila-
delphia and of Admiral George w.
Melville some years ago have been
recovered.
One of them was found on the
coast of Iceland, $500 miles from
the point where 1t was cast over
board on the Alaskan coast. In its
tortuous course it proably travelled
1000 miles. Its drift across the Arc
tic Ocean proves once more the ex-
istence of an Arctic current flowing
from Behring Sea across the North
Pole region.
Fifty spindle-shaped casks were
constructed from designs submitted
by Admiral Melville and we're sent
north on United States revenue cut
ters and whaling ships to Behring
Strait and there dropped overheard
in 1899, 1900 and 1901.
Each cask was numbered and
contained a message in four Ian
guages, requesting the finder to noti-
fly the Geographical Society of Phila-
delphia If the cask turned up.

PASSING OF THE CHURCH sPIRE.
Many of the Recent Edifices Resem-
BILE Public Buildings,


In the old days, when the church
was chiefly regarded as place In
which to worship on Sunday, the
spire was perfect, visible symbol
of the character of the building. It
was a sign of Gods house, and as
such had It's use, says Leslie's
Weekly. Aside from this the spire
had a bell, and, perhaps, clock.
Now, how changed! The rapid COM
mercial progress of the era has
shown no sentimental regard for
ho@os, churches, or anything else.
The Baptists of late seem to have
taken the most united move to get
away from the spire and all that II
means, but they are going to the
other extreme. Many of their new
churches look like public buildings,
and some resemble a Cairo mosque.
The Methodlsts, while doing away
with the spire, have compromised In
many instances on tower.
The Norman and English Gothic,
or perpendicular Gothic" has come
into high favor in city churches. This
style is at once dignified and full of
strength because of its massiveness.
One of the strangest looking
churches in New York City is to be
that of the Harlem Presbyterian. 1t
is strictly Oriental at every point,
startingly Byzantine from its front
elevation four stories high, to the
silded dome and color effects. The
necessity for institutioralism knows
no law except available room. One
church in Pittsburg, recently COM
rlcted, has tifty-two rooms in the
editce. The cost of the spire has
