NOVEL SUGGESTION
OF CHICAGO PASTOR

CHICAGO, November l6.-There will be
a large number of men walking about
Chicago with the letter d. enbroide red
in Vivid scarlet on the breast of their fall
overcoats If suggestions are adopted
which have been made by Rev. Frede rick
+. Hopkins to a congregation which
jammed the Pilgrim Congregational
Church. Mr.. Hopkins. speaking on the
topic, What ought to be done to a man
who asks d woman to drink" has laid
down specific rules as to the treatment
OF the men of whom he is talking He
divided into classes the men who invite
Their feminine acquaintances to listen to
the froiicsome popping of champagne
corks. and he offered a punishment for
each class. The address was a continua-
ton of his crusade against women drink
ing in public restaurants and elsewhere.
According to the speaker, the man who
asks girl or woman to drink in a res
taurant is no gentleman and should not
be treated as one.
The most picturf Sque suggestion by Mr
Hopkins was as follows:
The man who insists upon a woman
drinking after she has said she thought
she shouldn this citizen should be os-
tracisad by society. The church and the
public at large should compel him to wear
tn old scarlet letter ID" pinned on his
breast, for he Is "debauchee. a devil"

PARIS. November 16.-Ecclesiastical
real estate is a drug on the market in
France. There is plenty of It, and much

to claim church as one of his posses
sions, but the French people who cried
loudest for the confscation of the Catho-
lie congregations properties. with the
thought that the revenue would come in
handy for the government, are not coming
forward TO buy.
The result is that It is next to i'm

be sought over and over even in the best
quarters of this city. The great Convent

property of the congregation, has at last
decided that everything shall be offered

realizing the millions for the state that
had been counted upon when the separa-
tionists forced the Catholic Church to
face expulsion. and it is by no means Ger

Despite all this the expulsions go on

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. November ls-The bitter
fight in parliament over the bill allow
ing marriage with a deceased wife's sis
ter has by no means ended with the en-
actment OF the law, there being the same
intense feeling against 1t now from a por-
ton of the clergy as there was during
the many years that the matter was under
discussion in the house of lords. The
Archbishop of Canterbury has just issued
very tolerant letter and several bishops
have followed in the same strain. but
they have failed to convince many that
the clergy should obey the law rather
than follow their own inclinations.
The result has been the formation of
several societies among the clergy of the
established church to marry any who
present themselves under lawful condi-
tions. This was started by Rev. r c.
Fillingham, the vicar of Hexton. who
says in a circular which he has been
sending broadcast: "In view of the OBJ
new marriage law adopted by so many
of the bishops and clergy, I think those
OF US who are not blinded by prejudice
or fanaticism should band ourselves to-
gether in some kind of society or at least
issue list of names of clergy who will
be glad to celebrate when required
marriage with a deceased wife's sister"

of displeasure. When the authorities ar
rived at St. Urban recently the villagers
set the tocsin ringing, and upon the olu-
GERS breaking open the door with a
hatchet the Marquis de Boissanger ap-
peared on the scene to declare that the
presbytery was part Of his factory. and.
consequently, there had been a violation
of domicile. The chief official remarked
that his business was only to execute
orders, and the vicar was elected by gen
darmes. with three female parishioners
hanging to his robes
At Trehau the abbot was found kneel-
ing on his prie-dieu after the door had
been forced, but made no resistance,
At Rumengol, however, the three Wears
opposed the expulsion most strenuously,
dressed in full sacerdotals, and excom-
municated the officers of the law as they
were driven out. Rumengol is one of the
most popular of all the shrines in Brit
tany. and is much resorted to by pilgrims
from other departments, and its vicarage
is, perhaps. the finest IN that region, be-
ing an imposing pile. with adjoining sta
bles. outhouses and farm.

IT rs VERY BAD TO
SWEAR, SAYS VALIANT

1.-THE Tongue and the Temper" was
the theme of an interesting lecture by
Capt Theodore Valiant, the evangelist,
at the Homeward Bound Mission, 119
Pennsylvania avenue. Friday evening. He
said all life has a certain train of phe-
nomena belonging to itself.
Men did not understand the life of
Jesus" he continued, "and they were
mystif1ed by His law of conduct. In His
life, motive determines merit. The old
law Of the ages declared, If you will do
right you will be right Again, a good
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
can an evil tree bring forth good fruit
This lesson means. If it means any,
thing, that there is an eternal difference
between a man who is governed by the
will of God, and the man who recog-
nizes no such sovereignty"
Capt Valiant spoke of ''the presence
of Jesus In the soul of man" He de-
scribed swearing as "a peculiar. low, un-
gentlemanly and disgusting sim" He
quoted an old writer as saying when the
angel who records mems words flies to
heaven with an oath he bushes to hand
it in and he said, DR.. Schaff remarked

riages, when they take place, ought TO
take place elsewhere than In the
church." But he does not tell the cleFsy
in any part of his letter that they can re-
fuse to perform such marriages. and ne
especially declares that the privileges OF
the church cannot be withheld from those
who contracted such marriages.
The Bishop Of Hereford in letter to
his diocesan helpers says. Of the de-
ceased wifes sister law: Now that 1t Is
part Of the law Of .he realm. It becomes
the plain duty OF every one, whether
bishop, priest or layman, to consider his
position in regard to 1t and give it loyal
obedience unless conscience clearly and
imperatively intervenes with some abso-
lutte prohibition. 1t becomes necessary
that every churchman. whether clerical
or lay, who is inclined to join in the
policy Of upholding a canon against the
statute law Of the realm. should first put
to himself this question-Am I prepared
to advocate a policy of disestablishment
and disendowment or do desire to main
tain the established church as htherto?,
1t must be clear. think. to any inteli-
gence, that we cannot have It both ways"
The discussion has only tust started.
There have been few cases in which the
question has arisen. but most of the
clergy are trying to forearm themselves,

ondon Chronicle.


The gypsies, interest in whom is revived
hv the appearance of the first issue of the
revived Gypsy Lore Society. have passed
under a variety Of names. arising either
from their supposed original country or
the callings and characteristics OF the
race. The Old English Egyptian. the
Spanish Gitana and the Magyar Pharas
nepek (Pharaoh's people) all point to an
Egyptian origin: the Scandinavian Tar
tar identifies them with the Mongolan
hordes which terroriZed early Europe.
while the French Bohemian suggests yet
another country as their cradle.
AS to the names bestowed by their sup
posed character, the Arab boldly calls
them Harami "a villain). the Dutchman
Heydens, or heathens. and the Persian
takes his name from their complexion.
and dubs them Karachi, or swarthy. A
charter of William the Lion as early as
the twelfth century. mentions their Scotch
name of Tinklers which is commonly
supposed TO be s>corrupton of tinker, al
though possibly the substitution of ''t''
for "z"' has produced this form of the
Italian Zingaro. one of the most wide
spread Of gypsy appellations.

and converted them into good and useful
citizens. Unlike many similar institu.

and hence must depend largely upon the
liberality Of its friends for it's support.
Situated on Pennsylvania avenue in the

has long been a haven Of rest and COM

The church in question is one OF the

unique IN this respect at least.
Community of ownership was quite COM
mon In earlier days, but services in few

comprises one of the strangest church con-
tracts In New Hampshire. This eoltice,
which is 1866 years old, is owned jointly by
the town and the church society. The
town owns and cares for the steeple
clock. bell and part of the basement, and
in addition yearly paints the front OF the
church. The church society owns the rest
of the structure.
This unusual contract was entered Into

The coZy inn of the coaching days
which went out about the middle of last
century. and experienced a revival lately
through cyclfst and motorist-with smil-

substantial good cheer. has developed in
some cases into the smart modern hotel,

Religious freedom and New England have
