Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 9.-Henry Gas
saway Davis, late candidate Of the demo-
cratic party for Vice President, who has
a winter residence in Washington, man
revered and esteemed by not only the
people of his own state of West Virginia,
but by those of the sister commonwealth
of Maryland as well, has given further
evidence Of his public spirit by offering
to give to the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation movement in his state the sum
of 25,OOO This gift is conditional upon
the raising of $4,000 more, the total
amount of 100000 to stand as a perma-
nent endowment to aid the work in West
Virginia.
Announcement of the gift of Senator
Davis was made at the fourth annual din
ner of the interstate executive committee
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions of Maryland, Delaware, District of
Columbia and West Virginia, held Friday
night at the New Howard Hotel. Toast
master A. M. Lothrop read a letter from
Senator Davis, which was as follows:
Mr.. George F. Tfbbitts. interstate sec
retary, Washington.
my Dear Mr.. Tibbitts: ] recall having
discussed with you several times the
question of raising an endowment for the
West Virginia state work of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The af-
fairs of the association are now SO far ad-
vanced as to bring this subject more
prominently into view. Besides my be-
lief in the underlying principles of the
association and the Importance of its
teachings for brighter and better man
hood. I know from personal observation
and knowledge of much individual good
that has been accomplished in the state
of West Virginia.
II am satisfied that an endowment pro-
viding the means for a permanent work
would bring about much good in stimulat-
ing interest, rekindling influences neg
lected, encouraging competition between
sections and supervising the work as a
whole. Such a fund to be effective should
be at least $10OO00, and l am willing to
subscribe a quarter thereof. or $4,000,
provided that the remainder is raised and
collected within the next twelve months.
I hope that in time every city and town
in the state will boast Of its Young Mems

quainted with a man is understood to
mean a very different thing from saying
that he is your friend. And indeed the
distinction is very real one, for
friend is d very sacred term. and has
received its crown in the saying, "A
friend that sticketh closer than a
brother" But there is no necessity for
the invdious distinction that is made.
Acquaintances are as necessary as
friends. and without them the business
of the world would come to an end and
life would lose half its pleasure, for 1t Is
with acquaintances rather than with
friends that most of our business is
transacted, and in intercourse with them
find large element of our diversion.
There Is another objection also to the
invidious distinction, for at first sight.
at least, it leads one to think that there
is a degree of hostility in the attitude of
man toward man unless they are on
terms of friendship, whereas - truth
of the matter is that acquair -ance is
virtually a degree of friendship and rep
resents the normal attitude of those who
are brought in contact with each other,
and may develop by further contact into
that closer union Of heart and interests
to which the higher title is accorded.
The real difference between acquaint
ance and friendship is to be looked for
in this union of heart and interests. Ac-
quaintances are supposed to have sepa-
rate interests, each regarding the other
as a unit totally distinct from himself,
but with the common humanity in virtue
of which they are brought into occasional
intercourse; while friends have much
more in common than humanity, and
find that heart an soul have a common
standing ground. For persons to be
friends there must be somewhere in their
natures a sympathy, a similar mode of
feeling and thinking however difficult
It may be at times to discover and de-
scribe It. We see this in the historic
vi doh hot of TOnx a,>1
Jonathan. Totally different as the char
acters of these two friends may appear to
be, no one can read the dirge which
David pronounced over his dead friend
without discovering common nobleness
their friendship and a kindred sympathy
which makes that friendship understand
able.

LONDON. November 9-The harmony
of the jubilee celebrations of the Cam
bridgeshire Band of Hope was disturbed
this week by strongly worded speech by
Judge Rentoul upon what he termed the
gard to the temperance cause" His
honors attack upon the Church of
England was so pronounced as to evoke
a public protest from the master of
Magdalen College. the Rev. a. S. Donald
son. Upon the platform and in the large
audience were members Of several differ
ent de denominations, and some excitement
was caused when the master of Magdalen
protested against certain matters, held
specially sacred by church people, being
used as a basis for temperance argument
Judge Rentoul declared that he did not
know of any Christian church in this
country which in its corporate capacity
was not deadly enemy of temperance
form. He proceeded to elaborate the
statement with statistics referring to the
Church of England. He touched upon
the resolution of the Lambeth conference
declaring the use Of any liquid but wine
for holy communion unwarranted by the
example of our Lord and an unauthorized
custom of the church. and declared that
there was not one circumstance connected
with the holy communion that had not
been changed. except going TO the public
house for the eleme Mt by which they cell
ebrated our Lords death and suffering.
He regarded that as a horrible resolution.
His honor also quoted an encyclical let
ter containing an affirmation of the
bishops that the use of wine was not
fects upon ourselves and others. He
challenged any ecclesiastic to put any
meaning to that sentence.
Neither murder nor highway robbery
was wrong In itself Independently of its
effects on ourselves and others. The
speaker quoted statistics showing that
!, 100 elergymen of the Church of England
were at the present time shareholders in
breweries and distiileries-that the Church
of England was the landlord of 1856 public
houses and that in the last fifteen years
the ecclesiastical commissioners had re-
newed over sixty leases, with increased
and enlarged premises. and an increase
Of revenue of $4,000 year. This was
blood money out of the lives of the peo-
pie. Further, he alleged that at the lord

There Is music in the, air, and talk

The leaders are to remain at the same salary for
