 In sharp contrast to the Rev. Dr. Aked, of Rockefeiler's Church. the Rev. pr. PariShurst is not an admirer of the ubiquitous suffragette. On the occasion of his Thanksgiving sermon at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, Dr. Parkhurst spoke of the womanly character of the New Eng land women in colonial times, conn pared them with the women of the present generation in New York. In- cidentally he gave one of the clev- crest epigrammatic definitions of "sufragette,"
 we had no suffragette in New Eng land" he said. T mean that we had, so far as I remember, no females that felt that a mistake had been made in creating them females instead of males They seemed well satisfied with the sex that God had given them, and thought. perhaps, if they thought anything about 1t, that a person femi- nine by nature but who tries to be- come masculine, by artifice falls short of what she wants to be as she does of remaining what she ought to be; or to express it by line quoted from the Poet Drayton: Nor man nor woman. scarce hermaDhrodite.'
 It is strange how mortaHy afraid some people seem to be of tainted" money. In olden times people were a great deal more philosophical about this matter.

HOSPITAL NURSE WAS
 POISONED BY BEER

Paris, Dec. 1.-Two hospital attend ants of the Cochin Hospital have just been tried for homicide, committed in strange circumstances. A male nurse named Buchet had practice of drink ing most of the beer and wine ordered Tor the patients. To cure him of this habit B. Brissard the dispenser of the hospital, gave to the hospital celIarer q strong dose of an emetic to be placed in a botle of beer intended for patient. This was handed to Buchet. who gave half glass to the patient, who was seriously inconvenienced. Butchet drank the rest himself and the dose being to strong he died a few hours later. In view of their good characters the defendants, M. Brissard and the eellarer, were fined small sums. The widow. who claimed $6,O0O damages. was awarded only $500 on the ground that her husband cavsed his death by his own greed

wrecked a building and injured sev- eral persons. It Is incredible that the existence of such hotbed of anarch- Ism and crime should be tolerated in any civilized community. So long as the Paterson anarchists confined them selves to assassinate American Pres idents, the police authorities of that city smiled indulgently at the "inno- cent pastime" of their anarchistIc pets. IT the latter, however. should begin to use members of the Paterson police force as targets for bombs, it Is quite likely that the police authorities will reach the conclusion that 1t would be In the interest of the community to stamp out that nest of criminals.
 The younger members of the exclu- slve set of New York's multi-mfllion- aires have nothing but a smile of half pity and half contempt for the primi- tiveness of the Beauty" Society in Berlin, which recently invited the members of the sReichstag with their wives and daughters to attend an en- tertainnent, the principal feature of which was sword dance performed by a beautiful young woman clad only in diadem in her hair. New York society has long outgrown such Pi AAItifS anu AHnocent llltle paStimeS. It takes more to satisfy their craving for new sensations than to watch the dancing of nude woman. If the Beauty" Society should send a repre- sentative to New York. well accredited to the exclusive set of this city, they could. undoubtedly obtain a few inter esting pointers.

New York. Dec. 12.--It is not pleas ant to contemplate the evanescence of fame. It makes one shudder to think of the sacrilege of grinding the mummy of some ancient Egyptian king into powder to be used as a pig ment or of Caesars body, turned to clay" used to close bunghole. It gives a shock to ones bump of rev erence to see a gown that once adorned some world famous queen. dragged over the rough boards of stage by some cheap actress. The sale of a great mans personal effects is sadder and more ,dep pressing than his funeral.
 Sentimentalism, is not a prominent American characteristic. A great man may die, his death may mean a great loss to the country or to the world in general. but beyond the passing of memorial resolutions and more or less pomp displayed at his funeral the American public pays no further tri- bute to his memory. In some cases a monument is erected "in honor" of the great departed. provided he had been a general, a Governor or a distin- guished politician. Little else counts and even in such cases the erection of the monument Is consider d com pensation in full for everying of merit the deceased may have done for his country.
 The other day the personal effects of Edwin Booth including a large quantity of stage costumes which he had worn during his long and honor able career. were sold at auction in one of the fashionable auction rooms on Fifth avenue. The things were sold Mrs. Edwina Booth -Grossman, the daughter of Edwin Booth, who probably needed ready cash more than a lot of old costumes and still older furniture and bric-a-brac, the prin- cIpal value of which consisted in their intimate association with her great and lamented father. Mrs. Grossman may not be to blame for this appar- ent lack of flial veneration for her fathers memory. yet the idea of the auction sale Is shocking and repulsive to finer senslbilities--"Sic transit glo- ria mundi"
