mote such an exhibition to which a small admission will be charged, and which will form an art fund. A meeting will be held shortly to discuss plans. Co., operation on the part of the artists and the public schools should certainly result in a most successful exhibition.
 No private exhibitions have yet been announced. Mrs. w. F, Motion will prob ably give an art tea during November, and her friends will have an opportunity to see her rare poreelains, which are among the most exquisite things ever exhibited in this city. There will also be some small studio teas through the winter, but the only large exhibition in prospect is the contemplated one by the pupils in the manual training depart ments of the schools. This exn.oition will include all the drawing and water color work as we'll as the articles made by the pupils In their cardboard work and weaving and wood carving.

better, and that he makes no distinc- tion between the best types and the class where the torch of tradition burns lowest.
 It is only those who should know better. and who often do, whose bad manners surprise us. MT. James may find much to criticise in the manners of American women. No one will take issue with him in what he says about the young American girl who takes the speech from her monthers mouth" :" but 1t is rather sweeping to say that American women do not even know they are ill-bred.
 Instances of bad manners that have come under my own observation can not be smoothed out by any such process of reasoning. Unlike Mr. James, I am convinced that persons with an over supply of bad manners are perfectly conscience of 1t them selves, and deliberately go out of their way to be rude or indscrete. What eyer can be laid at the door of Ameri- can women by the cryptic MT. James 1t cannot be said that they have not sense enough to know when they trans sress. There is nothing in the world that could make woman dull enough for her not to be conscious Of the social transgressions that MT. James

Men cells portrait of the Rev. Dr. J. W. Stagg has also attracted attention. The artist has recently painted a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the beloved Confederate leader. He secured a photograph that had been made from an old picture of General Lee, now in the possession of Lexington friends, and the portrait has been pronounced exceedingly eharaeteristie in pose and expression The artist has received several notable commissions re- gently. He will leave shortly for Char lotte, N. C., where he will be the guests of some friends of the Stages and will have several interesting sittings.

SUPPLIES" IN PULPITs.

How to treat preacher supplies or those
who fill pulpits in the different churches
while the regular pastors are on a vacation, is a
question disturbing the Richmond Journal, an
unusually progressive paper OF the Virginia capi-
tal The complaint is that the supplies receive
scaut courtesy during the summer season. and
there is general falling off in church attendance
while the supplies" arc officiating.
Ministers, like other people, must have vaca-
tons, and August is the favorite vacation month.
Some years ago it was customary for many large
city churches to be closed during August. This
practice has largely fallen into dsuse- Satan is
busy all the time, it is argued, and why then,
should the fortress Of the churches be abandoned
leaving Satan in full play during the summer
months? The absence of the pastor during the
summer is often inconvenient to members OF his
congregation; soul-sick folk must be looked after
in the heated period as we'll as during the winter
or other seasons. In fact the closing OF churches
at any time is going out of fashion. The ten
dency is to keep the churches open more, and in
the larger cities many of the non-Catholic de-
nominations follow the custom of the Roman
Catholics in having an open church continuously,
with brief services daily.
1t appears that in Richmond, when the regular
minister leaves, the congregation dwindles. Often
the visiting pastor is confronted by yawning pews
or a few deacons, stewards and sisters who are
prepared to combat ev1 in warm as well as in
cold weather. The Richmond Journal points out
that those who absent themselves from churches
at that period frequently miss good discourses, as
the supply" comes to town loaded with his best
sermons, to be delivered in his most skiliul man
ner
Probably the same complaint of non-attendance
at churches in summer when the supply preach
ing is not confined TO Richmond. There is a fall
ing off in congregations during the heated spell,
and no intentional discourtesy IS meant to the
supply" but many people, believing they should
have vacation from their church-going duties,
take advantage of the minister's absence to enjoy
a respite themselves.
In an other time Of the year at the regular SER
vice when different pastor fills the pulpit tenn
porarily provided he is up to the standard, he is
sure Of an appreciative congregation.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

Y ORK, PA, is agitated over public improve
n ments. The citizens of that town are
waking to the advantages OF municipal better
ments. And word Of encouragement goes from
Harrisburg, Pa One of the papers of the Penn
sylvania capital says that the Capital City is en-
joying benefits derived from the issuing of loans
from public improvements. The progressive ele-
ment won in two campaigns in the Pennsylvania
city Money was borrowed for adequate sewers
improved water supply, paved streets parks and
other things and there is no sign Of regret among
the Harrsburgers. York is in the throes of Just
such an improvement campaign as Harrisburg
went through
AS the paper says, Harrisburg awoke from
century of sleep and became progressive. To see
for themselves, Harrisburg asks the people of
York to journey to Harrisburg and see the inn
provemeuts that have been made, and which
have satisfied the Capital City people who now
wonder how they continued so long without mu-
nicipal comforts.
Wilmington is entering upon an era of inn
provement. Loans here were authorized by the
Legislature without appeal to the people, but
there is no doubt that Wmngtonans would
have voted for the loans. The important ques-
ton that now confron,s Wilmington is that the
money shall be wisely expended and not frittered
away. The proper expenditure of the money, so
that the people can see what they are getting, will
be satisfactory to the taxpayers. Wilmington
must move ahead in the municipal progress pro-
cession.

SOCIALIST BUGABoo.

a BOUT the clearest exposition showing that
a the present movement against monopoly
is not socialism, but the reverse, is given by Pro-
fessor ]. B. Clark, the noted writer on economies,
OF Columbia University. and one of the foremost
writers in this country on this topic. Professor
Clark says:
Shall we have Socialism in the United States?
Not within any period that in our plans we need
70 take account Of And yet we shall have what
looks like it, and is often confounded with it. So
ciasm Of the genuine sort requires a radical
change in the mode Of distributing the general in
come of society. 1t would give over the scramble
Of competition, by which incomes are now deter
mined, and FIX every ones income according to
some law Of the State. In lieu of the wages
which, by strikes boycotts or other pressure on
employers, laborers manage to secure, it would
pay them out Of the public treasury sums which
the general law would ordain as representing
their rightful claims.
An anti-monopoly movement is anything but
Sociastic, and putting every railroad in the conn

est Such measures we may resort to in America
We have before us an anti-monopoly campaign
which will stir up gigantic powers Of opposition
and require the utmost power Of the people if it
IS carried through to success. Whatever will ac-
complish the end in view-the preservation Of
economic freedom and the protection of the peo-
pies property as well the property of all honest
investors-is legitimate. 1t is to be hoped that
we shall not have to own and operate railroads,

ANARCHISTS In
A CONVENTION
By THE JOURNALS Special wire.

AMSTERDAM, Aus. 29.-American
laws were made the subject of bitter
criticism by Emma Goldman, the Amer
ican anarchist in an address to the
International Anarchists congress now
in session here. She declared that the
statutes of the United States are so
strict and severe that it is practically
impossible to carry on the anarchistic
propaganda.
Anarchy, however, is growing in
America, she declared. II is especially
gaining adherents among Jewish work
ing people.
MANY anarchists have gone from the
United States to help remove the des-
potism of Russia" she exclaimed
Max Maginski. a Russian delegate
criticised the anarchists of America as
well as the working classes Of that
country generally. Laborers of Euro
pean countries all want a revolution,
he said. but in the United States work
ing people do not want an uprising, be-
cause they live in a free country.
