/ To our great grand sires of yore;
Those to whom we owe our being
Who have lived so long before
God repealed to men mis- purpose
Fer the gospel came to earth
While the people dwelt in darkness
Fer God sent his servants forth
With the glorious gospel message
Which we joyfully received
And enjoy IL to fullness
For It's given pure and free
our grand sires were men f.honor
Oft In history's brightest page
We have seen their names engraven
Men OF valor of their age
And they certainly are worthy
Every effort we can make
To perform for them each duty
That the gospel indicates.
Let us make noble effort
Put our shoulder TO the wheel
Let us do our duty for them
Our father has revealed
We will go into the temple
House OF God, prepared by man
AS our Father has directed
To bring fourth his glorious plan
There 70 stand on Mount Zion
Sayiors TO our kindred dead,
Glorious privileges are given
Heavenly blessings round then shed
We will go into the water
There for them we'll be baptized
That they may receive the blessing
And from sin be purified.
We will organize in union
Have a captain at the head
Each one try to do his duty
In working for our kindred dead
Wen have a fund wherein to place
The money needed for
To carry on this glorious work
or saving those OF yore
So we that cannot work can help
That blessings may be ours
For certainly we all will do
The best that's in our power
We want our names recorded there
That we to God may show
Attic we're young we can help
That blessings he'll bestow
After all this work is finished
When we've done our very best
To redeem them from their bondage
For this Is the Lords behest.
Then sometime In the future
We with them may happy be
When they'll thank us for the biessin,
We TO them have thus bequeathed
Then We'll have grand reunion
Such as mortals cannot know
With a JOY that is eternal
When each heart with love o'erfows
There to meet with great grand sires
Many generations past
Even TO the grand beginning
All along down to the last.

Temple Work.

We have met today in union
To renew our family ties
To rejoice and sing together
May much JOY be realized.
AS we have met in perfect friendship
May we try to understand
What we owe TO those departed
What our Father did command
For He said in revelation
Our joys cannot perfect be
Tho we gain our SOUL salvation
In the great eternity
IL we here neglect our duty

The Nassau Hotel in Princeton, which
has just Deer bought by a company COM
posed mainly of Princeton graduates, to
be %remodelled and opened TO the use Of the
university students for rooming, ia an in
teresting old building with historic asso-
Citations running back to Colonial times.
1t was originally the residence Of Judge
THOMAS LEON ARD who built 1t Of Holland
brick in 1857. When Judge LEONARD died
the property was bought by ROBERT Stock
TON of Revolutionary fame, and became
the college Inn" After the Revolution
General JOHN N. CUMMING and Major JOHN
GULICK, who were interested in the stage
coach traffic between New York and Phila-
delphia, purchased the property. Those
were its palmy days, for 100 fresh horses
were kept in the stables, and frequently
as many as fifteen stages at one time would
start in each direction from the old inn.
1t was here, in the course Of his trip across
Jersey, described in one Of his minor writ
ings, that WAsHN GToN IRVING put up
during his stay in Princeton; and, says
the Daily Princetonian, it was at the hotel
that the Lay Of the Scottish Fiddler" was
conceived and partly written. In the rush
OF modern enterprise 1t Is good to hear now
and then Of some old landmark In our earlier
history, some reminder Of the simpler days,
some storehouse Of historic association, as
the object of a p~reservative process.

pions Of the legislative independence Of
tho House to make that and not the
creation Of the State OF Oklahoma the
issue? There Is a time for everything,
and the time to settle an old score with
the Senate Ia not now.
The Statehood bill was sent TO confer
ence upon the Senate amendments by a
vote of l75 20 1853 in the House on March
~, forty-ohe Republicans voting in the
negative-truly a Pyrrhic victory for the
advocates of an unnatural union be-
tween New Mexico and Arizona. Since
that time they must have heard the
chorus Of disapproval in the West and
Some plain admonitions fromthe less o
oerned East. There must be a feeling in
the House that if the vote could be taken
again the result would be different. Yet
the game Of self-obfuscation and pro-
c%rastination goes stubbornly on.
To save the pieces of a prestige sup
posed to be fractured, but obviously not
damaged at all, it is proposed to revive
the amendment providing for a reference
OF the question of joint Statehood to the
voters of New Mexico and Arizona,
although everybody knows what a waste
Of money it would be to hold the referen-
dunn. For that reason Senator FORAKER,
the author of the amendment, refuses to
consider the proposal, and to end the
deadlock he thinks Of making the Okla
homa and Indian Territory bill a rider
on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.
That plan is not to be commended. Ok
lahoma and the Indian Territory should
be admitted by the front door, and not
by the back.

CHINESE TO SEE OUR SCHOOLS
Through Lantern Slides Sent TO China by
Request.


The Board Of Education adopted q reso-
luton at its meeting yesterday to send
fifty lantern slides to their exoellencies
Tuan Fong. yiceroy Of Fukien, and Tai
Hung-Chi, assistant secretary of the Chinese
Treasury. The slides contain pictures OF
public schools in this city, roof gardens,
recreation centres. kindergartens and other
educational activities.
The Chinese officials had heard about
New York spending nearly $50, oOo, 900 a
year on the education OF its children, and
wanted photographs Of the work carried
on They wrote to w. N. Tolman, director
Of the American Institute of Social Science,
and Mr.. Tolman communicated with the
board.
Commissioner Haupt introduced a reso-
luton that the board engage a press agent
at 500 a m onth to supply the newspapers
with stories about the summer Fairgrounds
and recreation centres. I'VE want people
to know about those activities he
fThe Board Of Education does not need
to advertise for pupils. The recreation
centres and summer Fairgrounds are over
crowded, and we have to turn ava appli-

Mr.. Haupt insisted that his resolution
IF the newspapers print stories about
those places being o~vercrowded, then we
can go to the Board Of Estimate and get
more money to enlarge our faciliti es,' he
said.

Ripper Legislation in This State.

The memorandum filed by Governor
HlGGENs giving his reasons for signing
the ~Ogdensburg ripper bills is scarcely
worthy of the Chief Executive of New
York State. On their face these meas
ures were plainly partisan grabs, intro
duccd for no other purpose in the world
than to thwart the will of the people of
~Ogdensburg as expressed at the polls.
No rational excuse was ever given for
their introduction, and no one could be
found who would acknowledge the au-
thorship of the bills.
From the Governors memorandum
n not familiar with the legislation
would be led to believe that the main
objection to the bills was that they
change the time of the charter elections
in Ogdensburg from the spring to the
autumn. On the contrary, that has been
held right along by the opponents Of the
legislation as a minor consideration,
although it has not been denied that it's
purpose was to give the Republicans the
advantage Of having the local elections
fall in the same year as the State and
national contests, thus giving their
local csldidates the prestige that comes

The Julep and the Serpent.

Has the Missouri farmer learned to put
grass in his whiskey? Has he ceased to
drink his Bourbon straight, without
sugar? Has he become an artist in
co~nviviality? Utterly improbable. Yet
from Missouri comes the subtle state
ment that the mint crop and the snake
crop are greater than they ever were at
any previous period in the history of
that Commonwealth. The oowardly in
situation Of this story lies in the coupling
of the good name of the mint with the
poor reputation Of snakes. Where there
is mint there is the julep, and the julep
is a fragrant demonstration of the pres
ence of refinement and education in the
art of imbibing.
Snakes and mint juleps? Shame on
the base calumniator who dares TO hint
that they are confederated! The snake
of the world of conviviality is a pitiable
companion Of straight whiskey, of
brandy torn from its true home at the
end of the dinner, of those bizarre mix
lures of indigestible compounds known
as cocktails. Upon the irresistible flood
of these the serpent floats triumphant,

The engagement Of WAsrLI SAFoNoFF to
conduct the concerts Of the Philharmonic
Society for the next three years at a salary
of $40 900 a year means several things.
This conductor has been spoken Of as a
4prima donna Of the baton,' but the fact
is that he conducts without a baton, and
that is the real reason why he is to get such
a high salary. Five or six conductors Of
merit equal to his and one indisputably
his superior have been passed over in the
trials which have been going on for two
seasons. When Mr.. SAFoNoFF came and
showed the women that he could make an
orchestra go without anything in his hands
or up his sleeves they cried with one accord,
WONDERFUL and handed him the prize.
Thus does the great game Of waving hands
before eyes continue to be played. For
tunately, Mr.. SAFoNoFF is really a good
conductor, even with empty hands, so that
he may honorably merit the handful that
is coming to him.

50, 900 OFFICE MOTHERS SCULLY.
He Has Got II to Give Away and Isn't Look.
Ing for Enemies,


City Clerk P. j. Scully. has the appoint
ment Of q deputy city clerk to succeed
Thomas Murphy, the Tammany leader Of
the Twentieth district, who died q few days
ago. The salary is IS 900 a year, and as the
duties are almost nominal it is a place which
Ia eagerly sought for. Mr.. Soully is the
Tammany leader of the old Twelfth Assem-
bly, district, which has been wiped out of
existence under the new a~pportionment
plan. He has still three and a half years to
serve in his $1,000 a year place, but
it Is well known that since the Repub-
licans gained control of the Board of Alder
men there have been many eyes on his job.
The Aldermen car remove him on charges,
and 30 many are the responsible ties put
upon him by the Charter that it would not be
a hard matter for the majority of the Alder
men to find an excuse to depose him. If he
should appoint a Murphy Democrat to be his
deputy he might call down on himself
not only the enmity Of the Republican
majority but also of the faction in the board
led by Little Tim Sullivan. And should he
appoint any one else he might find himself
or the outs with the organization. Mr..
Scully refused to be drawn out yesterday as
to what course he might take, but even those
members of the Board of Aldermen who
are not on his side of the political fence
sympathize with him when they talk OF the
puzzle he has had to work out.

Gen. bingham. and DE Won't Resign

Police Commissioner Bingham got hack
from ~. Louis yesterday after nm ahaon.s
~ eight days. Iie went straight a. tho
Mayors Office and did not reach Police
Headquarters until shortly before noon
When tho reporters filed In 10 ann him
they found Commissioner Waldo and
Mathot with him.
Good morning, gentlemen, : said the Com.
missioner. Just came up from the City
Hall, where I went 10 report my return 10
my superior officer, the Mayor. What's
doing2'
The Brooklyn reporter had heard that the
General vas back and was present for the
first time in weeks.
How about that st. Louis interview
he asked eagerly. -
Il denied that some time ago said the
General. sIrl do 50 again. ] never sad
what was attributed to mi in that interview
or anything like IL, and only one st. Loui,
paper printed anything like the despatch
printed here"
your absence has given a chance for
rumors to circulate in the Police Depart
ment that you would resign" the Commits
sioner was told.
We'll, I'm not going to resign" said the
General.
Commissioners. it is said that the city is
wide open and hat the poolrooms are
flourishing in every precinct. Are you
going to take any action?"
Yes. I'm going to try to keep 1t less
open. We are going to try to close the
poolrooms.'
sYou mean that you are going to put the
lid on2S
Il said we are going to close the pool
rooms-and all the w~ickedness in the city,
the Commissioner replied, laughing.
Then you admit that the city is wide
open?"
Il admit nothing, I deny nothing"
The Commissioner and his deputies seemed
to take the entire interview as a joke.

Government by Novel,

saw the future In a dream.
And caught the governmental scheme:
There was no Senate, House or Bench,
Forms old and musty 10 lntrench,
II postage stamps declined 10 stick,
II crops were poor or graft was slick.
The citizen who wished reform
Sat down and wrote a move warm.
The nations Chief Executive
a million per received TO live:
The only thing he had to do
Was Just TO read those novels through.
And so they came In every style,
Just eighty million In the pile,
while, as he turned each thrilling page,
He issued dlctums great and sage.
At last they poured In such a tide
The President for mercy cried.
And then a patriot uprose
This name my dream did not disclose).
Quoth he: "To stop this mourntul sight
A novel I intend TO write"
He did: twas the very worst
That ever good white paper cursed,
A. that the patient people turned
And for the olden order yearned,
Establishing with great content
The Fathers anCicn government.
