DR.. TORREY AND THE DISASTER

"San Francisco was to my mind, I
said DR.. Torrey, the noted evangelist,
ssone of the wickedest cities In the
emn way of speaking to it's inhabi-
world, and the Lord has taken a sol
tants.'
Over a month has passed now since
ruin took up its abode where before
was one of the most splendid cities of
this western world. The pulpits have
been filed several Sundays and count
less sermons have been preached which
had for theih text the overwhelming
of San Francisco. The verdict of the
church has been rendered and because
Evangelist Torrey is notable through
his loneliness have we quoted his be-
lief above.
The attitude of the church in this
regard is one of the most remarkable
external features of the disaster. The
great opportunity was furnished to the
pulpit and it was of interest how they
would seize upon it. San Francisco
had loved it's pleasure. 1t had been a
staunch believer in gay nights and gay
days The doctrine of long faces had
gained scant foothold there. There
There was no cautious shifting as if
some blazing birthstone might be 81
uatcd just around the corner. And now
the disaster was complete. Hardly was
one stone left standing an another
where once had been revel, the clink
of glass to glass, the lit of laughter.
Only ashes and twisted steel and mem
ory remained. The challenge to the
church was full and fair.
DIR. Torrey is the living echo of many
yesterdays. One who read or heard
the beliefs of nearly every other min
lister throughout the country would
have brought forth Numbered ~eloquence
of which the wrath of God was the
all-pervading theme. That was almost
entirely lacking this time. Some tried
to explain the earthquake according to
scientific principles, but for the most
part they talked even as you and we
might talk and their tales breathed
love and sympathy and words of good
cheer.-RENO GAZETTE.

POPULARITY
OF PRESIDENT
WAIVED
(By Walter Scott.)

NEW YORK, May 26.-The question
y of whether the popularity of the
president has been damaged by the
revelation in the matter of the trouble
over the rate bill is one which is be-
ing argued pro and con with the great
est interest. So far as the president
himself is concerned, it appears as
though tn average man simply regards
it as a comedy of errors-a misunder-
standing all around. Then there are
those who do not hesitate to say that
the president has been "playing pol
tics And playing politics they do
not regard as a crime. Others there
are who do not hesitate to denounce the
president roundly of being guilty of
Justification. But those others, it
should be explained, are usually radi-
calls and Democrats.
Probably the staid and conservative
Journal of Commerce occupies the mid
die of the road position when it as
serts;
cit seems to that altogether too
much has been made of the misunder-
standing between President Roosevelt
and certain senator's, and an ex-senator
over the amendment of the rate bill.
In our opinion the president has med
died too much and talked too much in
his zeal to get the rate bill through
the senate just as he wanted it and
he has given occasion for a gold deal
of misunderstanding and misrepresenta.
ton in the process, but we see no
ground for a charge of duplicity or
intentional misleading on his part. He
is apt to be too hasty and he was too
hasty in characterizing the statement
of Senator Tillman on the authority of
ex-senator Chandler as a deliberate
and unqualified falsehood.' Where
there so much off-hand talk he may
have inadvertently used words about
the efforts of Senators Knox, Spooner
and Foraker to amend the bill which
could easily convey the impression that
he thought they were trying to inju-e
or defeat the measure and in effect
said so. He may not have meant that
they fere acting in bad faith, and had
probably forgotten just what he did
say, while Mr.. Chandler may have put
that construction upon the words with
out intending to misrepresent. Such
misunderstanding are common enough
in small matters, and there may have
been no real question of veracity in
this case.''
But though the questions raised may
not have diminished the personal popu-
larity of the president to any great ex-
tent, it has undoubtedly had a tendency
to encourage his antagonists both out
side and inside the party. State Chair
man Odell has been at Republican
headquarters in the Fifth Avenue no.
tel, and has had conferences with his
friends regarding the situation in the
state and his status as state chairman.
An dthe general feeling appears to be
that the power and the prestige of the
president has diminished during the
past few days, and that it would not
be possible for him to arrange for a
decapitation of Odell as chairman of
the state committee even though the
national executive should feel inclined
to force this matter.
Mr.. Odell was not more communities

been heretofore, but he did say that
there was no change in the situation
since March /, when after the iegisia-
tive correspondents dinner at Albany
he declared that all his opponents
lacked was courage and a candidate.
'sThat is about as true as ever 1T
was,' he declared when the phrase
was recalled to him. ~ have received
no word from any state committee
man, he added, "calling either for a
meeting of the committee or a change
in the chairmanship.'
Even those who are not in accord
with Mr.. Odell gather from his de-
meanor that he intends to stick to the
last, and that he will not tamely sub
nit to having programmes mapped out
for him. But the next move must
come from the other side now, it is
said.
1t is believed that one of the pend
ing moves is q breaking down of the
barriers that have separated the state
chairman and Governor Higgins. Those
who are in a position to know what IS
going on assert that the initial steps
toward a political reconciliation may
soon come from Albany.
1t is said by Mr.. Odell's friends
that he feels more secure today than he
did a week ago, before questions OF
veracity arose over the rate bill at
Washington 1t is even asserted on
good authority that fear of interior
cnce in state politics from Washington
will not be as trong in the future nor
as potent in shaping results here as
it has been. 1t has been pointed out,
moreover that this fact may affect the
adherence of Mr.. Higgins to some
present influences and open an easy
way or him to make his peace with
the state chairman.
From the same source it was learned
that there was something more than a
desire not to make a fuss when Mr..
Odell's enemies allowed him to main
tain his position as state chairman at
the time when it seemed easiest to Gust
him. This was after his reapportion-
ment plan had failed o fpassage and
the Parsons plan had been adopted.
1t was then that Odell seemed weak
est, yet no move was made to remove
him. Instead, the governor went to
Washington for a conference with the
president and Mr.. Root and counseled
delay. 1t is said now that things hap
pened at that conference; in fact, that
representations were made to the pres
ident which induced him to withhold
for the time being any plan he had in
mind to make his power felt in the
state machine.
1t has been made plain in some
quarters that MI. Odell as state chair
man is in a very different position
from that in which he would be as
B. B. Odell a private citizen. In his
official position his lips are sealed, but
his friends say that if rough means
were used to GUST him he might no
longer feel himself obliged to keep
them. MI. Odell promised his adher-
ents when the plans for removing him
first assumed shape that he would stick
to the last and would make the fight
of his life if necessary to retain the
post of state chairman. And in this
determination his friends assert he has
never wavered.

a trip through the burned districts of
San Francisco after the FIRE revealed
scene of unspeakable desolation. From
many points on Market street, as far as
the eye could reach in any direction, there
was nothing but skeleton walls and smold-
ering ruins. 1t was fire that wrought the
great devastation and wiped out tne en-
tire business section and half the resi-
dence section of the city. The great mod
ern steel structures were practically un-
injured by the earthquake except for
cracked walls and displaced plaster. All
these great structures, of course, subse
quently were utterly ruined by the flames
so far as the interior construction is con-
cerned, but the walls are in most cases
intact. The most notable cases of prac-
teal immunity from the shock were the
ST. Francis hotel the Fairmont hotel,
the Flood building, the Mills building,
the Spreckels building, the Chronicle
building, and scores of other modern steel
structures.
The branch of the United States mint
on Fifth street and the new postofice at
Seventh and Mission streets are striking
examples of the superiority of the work
manship put into federal buildings. The
United States mint building, surrounded
by a wide space Of pavement, was abso-
lutely unframed. The new postoffice
building was also virtually unchanged by
fire. The earthquake did some damage
to the different entrances to the building,
hut the walls wpra uniuiured EVerV win
dow pane, of course, was broken. The
Fairmont hotel, while damaged in the
interior, is left intact as to the walls.

George Moore has at times written
10000 words day, but as a rule he
only writes 500 words, and there are
times when, for days at a stretch. he
destroys every line written.
Conan Doyle one wrote a story Of
$4,000 words at a sitting. 1t was one
of the best CT the Sherlock Holmes
series, too. This writer's average out
put, though, is below 1000 words day.

Pinero does 300, Joseph Conrad does
800, w. w. Jacobs does 400, Hall Game
does 1000, J. NJ. Barrie does 600, Hen

THE largest incomes are made by
Clyde Fitch, Barrie, Hall Game. Pinero

$4,000.
Marion Crawford, Fl. G. Wells and
Conan Doyle make $25 600 or 10000

than $1,000, and in lucky years this
minimum is tripled or quadrupled."

A Church with Living Rooms.

With the plans for the new Bronx
Episcopal Church house, at Fulton ave
nue. and Hist street, approved by Bish-
op Greer, it was said yesterday ground
for the new building would be broken
within a week and the work of con-
structing the church house would be
carried on with all possible speed. The
building will have cost more than SIPS
co. Besides living rooms for five dea-
cons, ii will contain clubrooms, a meet
ing hail, gymnasium, bowling alley,
and billiard room. There also will be
a running track, and in summer the
roof will be converted into a roof gar
den.
Bishop Greer obtained the money for
the new building from several persons
who refused to have their names made
known. He is confident he will obtain
further funds with which to maintain
the church house in a way that will
make IL of use TO the upper section of
the city.-New York Times.

The Enect of Diamond Ring

Don't take any notice of the man who
SCOTS at the wearer of costly jewelry.
The scoffer is probably too poor or too
mean to purchase diamonds for his own
use, and therefore grudges the advan-
tage which he knows others derive from
wearing them.
Who denies that it pays a man to
wear a smart suit of clothes? Is it not
an established fact that the mere APP
pearance of being rich greatly helps to
stave off poverty?
Man is a very initiative creature
If prospective customer sees that
you have plenty Of money, he naturally
concludes that other people are giving
you big orders, and so he follows suit.
1t would not do to carry your bank
book round your neck, but you can.
without any ostentatiOn, wear a hand
some diamond ring, which will both
please your customers eye and put him
into a good temper. Wear it as though
you had quite forgotten it was there.
and it is bound to do you good.
Again. the effect of the ring upon
the wearer's own morale is very great
The sparkle of the gem is an ever-pres-
ent JOY to him, constant reminder
that he has achieved a certain amount
of success, and a strong incentive,
therefore, to forge ahead and achieve
still greater results.
Socially, of course, the wearing OF
jewelry in moderation is often of in
calculable value. The man who is
known to be man of wealth will al
ways get more than his rightfuI share
of favors-and he does not have to ask
for them either.
