Downing Street, London.

The greatest street In the world is
one Of the smallest This Is Downing
street, a dark little alley In the west
Of London. Here Is the real center Of
the British empire, for 1t is at 10
Downing street that the premier has
his official residence. Ever since Rob
ert Walpole was the prime minister,
200 years ago, the heads Of the govern
ment have made their homes in this
'alley" American tourists usually go
out Of their way to gaze upon the
dingy, almost repellent exterior OF this
lodge Of diplomacy and national ambi-
tion, because Sir George Downing, who
laid out the street and built the house
therein, was Of American ancestry,
his mother belonging to the Winthrops
Of Massachusetts, Bay Colony, and
stands as the second graduate on the
roster Of Harvard college. After get

Curing Snake Bites.

Considerable difference of opinion ex-
lists with regard to trustworthy rem
edy for snake bites. DR.. Lauder Brun-
ton advocates the use of permanganate
Of potash applied Immediately. Mr.
Greengrass of North Arcot district,
Madras, however, as the result of varl-
Gus experiments states that acetic acid,
even In the diluted form Of vinegar, Is
an important and effectual remedy,
and II can be applied effectually as
long as an hour or an hour and a half
after the bite. Cases OF recovery from
snake bites have followed the applica-
ton Of vinegar after such intervals.
An inclsion must be made over the
bite, as much of the poison as possible
squeezed out. and then vinegar Is to
be injected. II the bite Is on limb,
ligature must be placed above 1t. Mr..
Greengrass records twenty-nine cases
Of recovery from cobra bites, by such a
use of vinegar. The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
incision had been made over the bite.
A similar treatment is recommended
for the stings Of scorpions..-London

STRIKE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Pastor Calls Young Women Bull.
headS-Mutiny.

Twenty-one young women Of the
Second Christian church Sunday
school have gone on strike against
the preacher, the Rev. Ralph Edward
Alexander, and they will not return
unless he allows their demands, says
a st. Louis dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune.
I'VE shall never go back to the
Sunday school, never, until the pastor
shows a more lenient spirit in his
dealing with our class" said Miss
Rosalie Clark, one of the leaders in
the mutlny. and the other girls voice
her sentiments.
THE pastor tells us he never will
permit us to come back except upon
his terms" continued Miss Clark. He
is willing to lose 21 young women
from his Sunday school rather than
be conciliatory. He has said so.
The pastor called US bullheads,
and said the devil had broken loose
in one Of the Sunday school classes,
meaning in our class, of course. That
uOcSi iOOk HlCet uOeS IL
The 21 young women are members
of the best families in the church and
the Sunday school has been seriously
crippled by their "walkout."
Some of the girls use strong Ian
guage in denouncing the ReY. Mr..
Alexander for what they term his
high-handed and arbitray manner
with them. The whole membership
of the church is in turmoil over the
mutlny, and each has taken sides, one
way or the other, some with the pas
tor and some with the young women.
The trouble began two years ago
when the Rev. Mr.. Alexander became
pastor of the church, which Is at
18th and Tyler streets. 1t is report
ed that he said then there were too
many cliques in the church, and these
caused jealousy and weakened the in
fluence Of the church, and he would
break up the cliques IL he had to
throw some people out by the neck.

An Ennllah Turf rransdy.

Half an hou. before the race for the
Two Thousand Guineas of 1888 Prince
Batthyany, who bred st. Simon and
who was one Of the most popular rae
ing men of any time, was talking with
Lord Cadogan In the luncheon room Of
the Jockey club stand at Newmarket,
when he suddenly reeled and fell.
He was carried to Weatherby's Office,
and doctors were summoned, but the
prince was beyond all human aid, and
just before the bell rang for the race
for which his colt, Galllard, brother OF
st. Simon, was first favorite he breath
ed his last
A few minutes later "the clear blue
sky rang with cheers and shouts as the
horses came laundering along, which
rose into roar as Galllard won by
head" while behind the drawn blinds
of Weatherby's office Galliard's own
er, who had been looking forward so
eagerly to this moment, was lying
dead. 1t was owing to the death Of
his owner that Galopins great son
could not run in the Derby of 1884,
which he would almost certainly have
won.-St. James Gazette.

RELIGION AN ISSUE
TAFT ATTACKED BECAUSE
HE is A UNITARIAN.
Placed in Same Glass as Tom Paine
and Other AgnOstics by His Defam-
ers- Candidate and His Pastor
Daily Besieged with Letters-Nany
OF Them Abusive.

Washington, July 29.-"Unitarians
teach today what the deists, such as
Tom Paine, taught a century ago.
Unitarians are no more Christians
than are agnostics. Thousands Of
people throughout the country under
stand this, and they will no more vote
for Judge Taft, who is an Unitarian,
than they would have voted for Col.
Ingersoll."
This statement privately made by
the rector of one of Washington's
leading churches, reflects sentiments
that are now being heard on every
side. The religion of Judge Taft prom
ises to become a campaign issue Of
considerable magnitude. The Rev. U.
G. B. Pierce, pastor of the Unitarian
church of which Judge Taft is a men,
ber, has received hundreds of letters
inquiring about the candidates views
on spiritual matters. Judge Taft, too,
daily receives many communications
OF tnls CHARACTER, ana some OF them
are of an abusive character.
Some of Mr.. Taft's friends are In
clined to be alarmed by these attacks,
which are constantly becoming more
frequent. Reports have been received
here that evangelists in various parts
of the country have denounced Taft
for his religious views and urged their
hearers .not to vote for him. A ma
jority Of Washington politicians, how
ever, refuse to consider these at
tacks seriously. They point out that
Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln and Grant
were all unorthodox In their religious
views, but that attempts to defeat
them on those grounds failed miser.

almost a century ago, and for many
years was the largest bell in the city,
and the only bell of any size. 1t was
used not only by the Unitarians, but
by other denominations, and pealed
out equally to call the people to holy
day celebrations or church festivals
or to warn the city of fire.

Taft's Pastor.

DR.. Pierce, the pastor, is young
man, a native Of Providence, who was
raised a Baptist. He went to school
as a boy in Boston and took post
graduate course at Harvard. He was
called to All Souls eight years ago
and in that time has become one Of
the foremost pastors Of the city.
About the time he first entered the
pulpit as Baptist preacher he be-
gan reading Darwin and Huxley and
readjusted his religious views to con-
form with the more advanced teach
ings Of science. Then he turned to
the Unitarian church.
SO far as All Souls Is concerned,
it Is practical church. It's members
believe in doing practical things. Its
charities are many. 1t maintains for
one thing, annually. a visiting nurse
paying all expenses, and is the only
church of any denomination in WASH
ington which does this. Its member
ship embraces some of the most pro-
gressive citizens OF Washington, peo-
pie of culture and refinement. On It's
roll are those who have been previ-
ously Methodists, Baptists, Catholics,
Presbyterians--in fact all creeds are
represented. AZ Dr. Pierce says, the
Unitarian church does not ask a man
his religion any more than It asks
his politics. 1t is church Of free
dom.

field and Wilson-Bonaparte Would
GO-Bryan Cabinet More interest
ing.

Washington, July Washington
political wiseacres are already busily
engaged in arranging cabinets for
Judge Taft and Colonel Bryan. Scores
of prognostications are being made
Of the probable lineup and batting
order of the distinguished men who
will be called to act as official advis-
ers of the next occupant of the White
House.
In case of the election of Taft, it is
generally agreed that there will be
few vital changes. Ellihu Root is
Is slated to retain the state portfolio
as long as he wants it. provided, of
course, that the republicans continue
in control. George Won L. Meyer
postmaster general in Roosevelt's
cabinet, will likely be advanced to the
treasury secretaryship. General Luke
Wright is certain to remain as head
of the war department under the Taft
regime. Frank B. Kellogg, 1t Is
thought, will be selected to succeed
Attorney General Bonaparte, while
Frank II. Hitchcock will be awarded
with the office of postmaster general.
James Wilson, the perpetual secretary
OF agriculture, will not be disturbed,
and James r. Garfield will continue
as secretary of the interior. Whether
Metcalf will be retained as secretary
OF the navy and Straus as the secre-
tary of commerce and labor is a mat
ter of disagreement, some of the wise
acres declaring that they will have to
make way for some of Taft's more in
dustrious workers.
A Bryan Cabinet.
Doping out a Bryan cabinet Is. of
course, more interesting, since it al
lows a wider latitude of choice and
presents more elements of uncertain
ty. At the head of the list as secre-
tary of state most of the wise ones
place Judson Harmon of Ohio A few
think that Judge George Gray of Del
aware. would be chosen for this inn
portant portfolio, but this is not con-
sldered probable by those acquainted
with just the degree of friendship ex-
istlng between the Nebraskan and the
Delaware jurist. The Bryan cabinet,
1t is thought, would be largely com
posed of westerners, with only two or
three eastern and southern men in
cluded.
1t is likely, in the event that Bryan
is elected, that his cabinet will be
substantially as follows:
Secretary Of state-Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio.
Secretary of the treasury-John A.
Johnson of Minnesota.
Secretary Of war-George Turner
of Washington.
Attorney General William ]. Cay
nor, of New York.
Postmaster general-Henry d.
Clayton, of Alabama
Secretary of the navy-Theodore A.
Bell. of California.
Secretary of the interior-Thomas
NJ. Patterson, of Colorado.
Secretary of agriculture-Clark
