| There is no question that MT. Jerome
 was Co blame. The grand jury itself said that it would not have indicted ' had he not so strenuOusly insisted upon | it. The charges upon which the in
 dictment was based would have been outlawed by the statue of limitations | in another five days. As it is 1901 promises additional trouble for the in- surance magnate whose life for the past two years has been a strenuous one.
 The rapid change in the character
 of the population of New York has led
 the authorities of the Episcopal Church ! in this diocese 10 adopt significant departure in enlarging the scope of its work. The new plan Is one that has been carefully studied by Bishop Pot
 ter for some time and provides for con- ducting the services of the church in
 every language spoken by any consi- 1 derable number of people in the city.
 It is pointed out that New York has | the most polyglot population of any great city of the world, not excepting
 Cairo. including 100000 Italians, 70o,- eco Jews and 3O.OO0 Armenians, to mention only three of the many nation
 alities. and the church at present
 makes no adequate provision for 1 reaching these elements of population. | The work among the foreign speaking population is intended to be not so dis | tinctively missionary work as to pro
 vide means Of bringing religious Serv- ices within the reach of those who do
 not speak English, and who otherwise
 would be deprived Of the facilities of
 the church. Bishop Potter announces that he has recently licensed a man 10
 preach in the Yiddish dialect, and that
 he has in view the appointment Of
 others to conduct services in various
 other languages. Among other depart
 ures he suggests that German services
 be held in old Trinity Church if neces-
 sary, and points out the appropriate ness of this step on the part of the church as symbolized by the Chapel Of the Seven Tongues in connection with
 the Cathedral of St John the Divine,
 which IS so planned as to be tributary l to the great Central Hall in which ! services are held in England.
 ! New York has two Adamless Edens.
 and each by analogy has proved the
 other to be a dismal failure. one is
 the Hotel Martha Washington and tho other is what IS known as the "Wid-
 ows' Settlement" in the upper aym of
 the lake in Central Park. For a long
 time rumors of discord if not actual
 war. have reached the outside world
 from the sacred precincts Of the hotel whose threshold few men dare to cross. The trouble reached a climax one day last week when a stockholders meet ing was called tO consider the fact that whatever this may have been as a theory. the hotel has So far proved a profitless venture. Then arose divers guests who are stockholders to the ex- tent of not less than one whole share of stock. and declared that it was no
 wonder Such management would ruin anything, they complained. To
 say nothing of the absurdity of refus- ing to serve wine jelly with the Chris
 mas dinner. just because il is a tenn perance hotel. IL was a positive shame
 to charge for rolls when that is all one really needs for breakfast, and the head waitress was altogether too fat
 to be artistic, even if she was efficient.
 
 get-weU. certain interesting novels from the hotel library But when il came to the lady bell-hops. they were the limit, There was no such thing as inducing one of them to do a little
 thing like tightening a few strings or buttoning a waist up the back without
 a tip. Up in his institution in Central Park Director Smith last summer had a colony of 176 domestic ducks and only a dozen drakes To be sure the ducks
 don't wear waists that button Up the back. and their creature comforts are looked after by a mere man. But since
 they were put into limited winter quar ters a short time ago. there have been single combatS and battles royal which the old keeper declared to be nothing more nor less than a fight for a hus-
 band So a couple of dozen mora
 drakes were transferred to the lake
 and the trouble has entirely disaD- . yeaIed.
 Of all the weighty subjects discuss cd by the savants of the American as sociatiOn for the advancement of sci Cnce. who for week have been holding forth at Columbia University, none at tractcd more or greater attention than the talk of Maj. C. F. Woodruff on the Disappearance of the Blonde Type in
 America" Even the gray-haired mem bers sat up and took notice. Not an eye closed to the end of the discussion. According to the major. who has made a close study of blondes (under what circumstances he did not state) there is to be a slow disappearance of the type. which is to vanish entirely in about 600 years. IL was also argued, q
 fact which even a nOnscientist can rec OgniZe. that blonde women will be more
 and more sought as they become scare CT Major Woodruff holds out only
 scant hope that science may yet dis
 cover some means Of transplanting the pigment into the skin. which controls
 the color of the hair and the complex ion; but t is hard for New Workers
