Sunday at the First Congrega tional
church was designated as childrens day
and the church was filled with the children
of the Sunday school and their parents
The entire program was in charge of the
Sunday school and the services were under
the auspices of the school. The regular
church choir assisted in the singing OF
the general hymns. The front part of the
church was reserved for the youngsters OF
the Sunday school. whose number was
augmented by the children Of the Chapel
OF the Carpenter from the southern part
of the city.
The church was beautifully decorated
with plants in pots, which were distributed
after the services to the children, who had
been told OF the beauties of flowers in the
short talk by the pastor, Rev. II. c. Her
ring. The program consisted chiefly OF
songs and recltations by the little folks and

THE RETIREMENT OF MR.. GAGE.

A good many worthy people are work
ing themselves up quite unnecessarily
over the retirement of Ex-Secretary
Gage to picturesque Point Iona, to de-
vote the rest of his life to the study of
theosophy under the guidance of a lady
who has set herself up as the Chief
Hierophant of that cult.
Why should not man who has had
20 years of as vigorous and useful life
as Mr.. Gage choose to take a rest, and
where could he find more delightful
resting place than the farthest projec-
ton of his country into the Sundown
Seas? There he can daily watch the
sun after his 1000 miles of course over,
this throbbing, fermentive, unresting
land, sink behind the placid surface of
the Pacific in weary content that his
journey for the day is done. Maybe
Mr.. Gage will see I'm this a likeness to
his own career, with the boundless Pa
cific representing the Eternity which is
waiting for him. Maybe Point Loma is
attractive because it is the farthast
away from Chicago that he can get, and
the passionless cries of the gulls and
the hoarse but innocent roars of the
sealions are a reposeful change from
the clamors of the ain-maddened meb,
of his home city.
AS to studying theosophy, he can find
nothing more innocent. Theosophy is
mainly a maze Of big. strange words. OF
which 30 one knows the exact meaning,
and the study is an exciting but elu-
size effort to find out what somebody
else means by words that there is no
possibility she really understands.
If Mr.. Gage can make this sort OF
thing give zest to his lelsurely life-after-
noon. who is to say him nay? Is no.
the werd-weltering theesopiry quite as
cofnmendable as whist or 5 o'clock teas 9

MONUMENT TO MRS. TANNER.

The following letter expresses a wish
that has weiled np In the minds OF
comrades all over the country:
Editor National Tribune: The very
sad news of the untimely death of Mrs.
Miro Tanner fills the hearts of the SOL
dier comrades Cor, at least. such of the
comrades as have true appreciation of
a noble. true. affectionate wife and
companion. as was Mrs. Miro Tanner)
with painful sadness. and to US, the
surviving members of soldiers of the
rebellion. 1t is a serious loss, as she was
ever on the lookout for the largest
benefits of the boys of the war OF 1851
65. and generally successful In her un-'
dertakings for our good. Having often
called Us boys $50 / am informed), / do
hereby respectfully nominate her az
Mother Tanner, and / suggest that
subscription be opened in your good
paper for a monument to Mother Tan
ner. l cheerfully subscribe IS for the
present as showing good faith of my
sympathy in this matter. While many
of the comrades. perhaps. are not able
to give much toward monument, yet
truly believe every one Will give some
thing, if it be but a nickel. while
goodly number will no doubt contrib
ute fairly large amounts. l would like
to see every comrade contribute. so as
to make it a united Offering or all the
boys. Please extend my sincere SYM
pathy to Cemmander-in-Chief Tanner
in this hour of his bereavement. Very
truly-Joseph Guest, Co. D, 18th Md.
Chestertown. Md.
The National Tribune is heartily In
sympathy with this suggestion. and will
give it all assistance. Mrs. Tanner was
one of the noblest of women. and de-
voted her life to the service of the vet
GRAMS To erect a monument to her
memory would be a most fitting and
graceful thing for them to do.' and be
but modest return for all that she
did for them.
The National Tribune will gladly re-
ceive and acknowledge all contribu-

check is given to the two-cent-a-
mile movement by the decision of the
Corporation Court at Staunton. Va,
that the two-cent-a-mile bill passed by
the Virginia Legislature last Winter Is
unconstitutional. The decision of the
Court was based upon the exception
that the two-cent rate was not gen.
eral rate. did not apply to the general
public, and, therefore, was contrary to
the 14th amendment. II Disseminated
in favor of parties able to buy tickets
at wholesale rates and against ordinary
passengers who buy one ticket at
time. This defect viii probably be cured
at the next session of the Legislature
by a more comprehensive bill, which
will make a two-cent-a-mile rate OBJ
igatory for all tickets.

Provision for public recreation and
amusement is becoming more and more
recognized as duty of municipalities,
and some recent statistics are of inter-
est. The city of New York spends As
cents year for each inhabitant upon
music in parks. public baths, play
grounds, flowers and recreation piers.
While New York's total expense is ap-
proaching s2.009.000 a year, Boston ex-
ceeds her. and expends about 81 per
capita for these purposes Philadelphia
expends the same as New York. while
Chicago goes New York 10 cents better
and expends SIS cents. Baltimore 60. st.

IS HE PLAYING FOR A THIRD TERMs

Somebody quotes Henry Watterson as
saying:
president Roosevelt is playing his
cards SO as to compel the Republican
Party to nominate him, and in fight
between Roosevelt and Bryan the latter
will win on the single issue of third
termiSm."
We very much doubt that Mr.. Wat
terson ever said anything Of the kind.
1t is too cheap and brummagerl to come
from SO distinguished a mint.
President Roosevelt is no more play
ing to compel a denomination than has
ly tried to do his duty Like every other
vigorous-minded, right-thinking Amer
lean, Mr.. Roosevelt has cherished virile
ideas as to what President should do,
and what he would do If President. Be-
coming President at much earlier age
realize those ideals with an energy that
was not to be expected from older men
who have begun to weary of political
strife. No one can say-no one pre-
tends to say-that single one of the
many things the President has pushed
forward has not been urgently demand
ed. The time has been ripe for every
measure that he has insisted upon. IN
der his prompt initiative ana unremit-
ting pressure Congress has passed in
one session what otherwise it might
have pottered over for two or three.
Congress would have passed every one
Of the bills in time, but the President
recognized the urgency of the public
demand for them and used all his in
fiuence to secure immediate action. If
being somewhat more alert than Con-
gress tc recognize the pubiic's strong
wants and needs is playing cards for a
denomination, then President Roosevelt
has been playing the cards. Then, also,
every public official. no matter what
his station, who honestly believes that
he has been delegated by the people TO
do necessary things for them. must be
held equally liable to the charge of play
ing cards.
1t is very significant and still more
amazing thing that for the first time in
our history both parties have been sub
stantially united upon every great meas
ure of the Administration.
Undoubtedly Mr. Roosevelt has very
laudable ambition to be regarded as an
exceptionally good President He has
shown this same ambition in all the
lower positions that he held. He tried
quite hard to show himself an unusually
good Civil Service Commissioner, Police
Commissioner Assistant Secretary of
the Navy and Governor. In all of these
another term was a more or less in
definite proposition, and cannot be said
to have strongly influenced him. He has
said in the most positive way that he
does not desire another nomination, and
his strongest opponents usually give him
the credit of sincerity in whatever he
says.
Why cannot we content ourselves
| with assuming for him the noble sell
| fishness of desiring to make his Admin
istration pass into history as one of the
very greatest and most commendable In
our annals?

an accident on the Tamaipais Railroad
For more than 20 years Comrade War
