DIR. CRAPSEY CLOSES THE CASE

The Rev. Algernon Crapsey has
added himself to the list of modern
it in a very dignified and commendable
manner. DIR. Crapsey being an Epis-
copal rector might have made quite a
fight on the property aspects of his
case. He could have carried it on ap-
peal into the civil courts and his own
trial having been irregular in some re-
spects he might have made a great
deal of bad feeling before he was
forced to let go.
DR.. Crapsey has shown a spirit above
this kind Of pickering for a rectorship.
He bows to his judges and without
criticising them quietly departs from
the Episcopal ministry. Only one shot
he gives in parting, but that a telling
me-. He says he asked only for toll
erance in the church and tina could
mot be granted.
Of course, a great deal depends
upon what DR.. Crapsey meant by toll
erance. The church tolerates many
men who are teaching according to
their own ideas rather than those OF
the church itself. If it did not it
would be in a constant turmoil Of
heresy trials. But it is quite appar-
ent that if the church is to bear n
semblance to an organization it must
draw the line somewhere. The church
has chosen to draw it between what
are known as the essentials of faith
and those things which are not essen
tial. Even this line is difficult to
draw. DR.. Crapsey seems to be satis-
fled that the church drew the line
fairly so far as he was concerned and
accepted the result. This ought to re-
lieve the case from any air of SEN
sation. 1t amounts simply to this,
that DR.. Crapsey and the church could
not agree as to what he should teach,
and after a fair statement of the po-
sition of both sides. DR.. Crapsey has
agreed not to teach for the Episcopal
church n more.
There is plenty of room in the world
still for Crapsey to teach. There is
plenty of room in the world for the
church to learn. They have each a
mission. Their lines no longer cross,
but there is no reason why they should
not each learn from the other, be-
cause both are professedly enlisted
J in the search for truth.

Opposed to Duel1nX.

The Wiener Neue Freie Presse gives
a prominent place and calls attention
editorially to resolutions passed by the
antidueling society Of Budapest. In
the preamble the document speaks of
a recent fatal duel and refers to the
fact that it could not have taken place
in England or in America, where the
laws forbid such encounters. The So
ciety makes a strong appeal to the
press to refrain from publishing news
pertaining to duels and urges men who
may be selected as seconds to become
ambassadors Of peace and not possible
accessories to crime.

Neon In Spring Water,

1t is but a few years ago that the
atmospheric gases argon and neon
were discovered and that helium, an
element previously known to exist on
ly in the sun and certain stars, was
found combined with rare minerals on
the earth. Since then argon and hell
I'M have been discovered in the wa
tiers Of many mineral springs, and 1t
has been shown that the helium issu-
ing from such springs is probably de-
rived from radium in the rocks. Quite
recently Charles Moureu has Informed
the French academy Of his discovery
of neon in twenty-five mineral springs
whose waters were already known to
contain argon and helium. He believes
that neon is generally present in warm
springs.

Mr.. Duss and a National Anthem.

Mr.. Duss and a National Anthem.
Up in Winnipeg, Canada, Mr.. Duss,
the calisthenic bandmaster, was much
annoyed by the British national an
them. At "Happyland," which is Win
nipeg's permanent fair ground, a place
given up to all kinds of shows and me-
chanical sensations, an American band,
conducted by Mr.. Duss. was engaged
for q term last summer. Thinking no
evil, intending no ofense, Mr.. Duss
finished up his first performance with
the national anthem.
The management Immediately COM
planned that this gave the side shows
no chance, for as soon as the anthem
was played the people obediently went
home.
Mr.. Duss then started his concerts
with the anthem, but was promptly re-
minded by members of the audience
that the anthems proper place was at
the end. AS a kind Of compromise Mr..
Duss played the anthem at the end of
the first part of his concert, and then
The people did not even wait for the
second part Of the concert. In despair
Mr.. Duss left out the national anthem
altogether, %whereupOn everybody wrote
indignant letters to the papers. Poor
Mr.. Duss then wrote to the papers him
self and related his %distracting expert
ence.-Boston Transcript.

Fashion Notes.

Small turbans Of crushed cloth, SIM
ply trimmed with wings of the same
color, are to be worn for everyday use.
Dusky shades of velvet trimmed with
fur are to be worn.
The moderately short corsage. com.
ing quite long in front, but running up
almost to an empire in the back, has
obtained a sure foothold in the affec-
tons Of the wOman of fashion. 1t Is
generally becoming and very graceful,
particularly for the house, in soft,
clinging fabrics. .
