evening Robert Easton, who sang sew

and truly artistic style that over the
telephone and through the mail the
many congratulatory messages have
taken a good share of Mr.. EastOn's
time and attention during the past two
days. Word came from the president
of the club, Mr.. Monroe. saying, "Nev-

pTeted." The selections chosen for the
evening were MARY of Argyle" Cam

enthusiasm, Mr.. Easton sang many old
familiar Scotch songs, beautiful in
their simplicity, interpreted as they
were by one thoroughly in tune with
the poetic thought of BObbie Burns.
The three origisal drawings i'm the

worked out by other artists.

saw a possibility in one other avenue

the afternoon was also a delight. The
first numbers were by Henry Obern-
dOrfer, who played the Paderewski min
net and later BaTthOldi's Cradle Song
with beauty of expression and a degree
of feeling seldom found in one of his
age. Miss Mary Olive Gray and her

Women S Clubs.

The first presidents day" of the
year at the Ladies' Literary club will
be long remembered by the members
and their guests, who on Friday after
noon thronged the club house. The lit
eTary part of the program consisted of
three groups of readings given by Miss
Frances Savage, who was heard for the
first time by the club. Miss Savage
chose for her opening number the dain-
~ little story of "Ma'mzelle." and
she gave it i'm a wonderfully engaging
manner. She was recalled and recited
"Pansies," a beautiful bit of verse with
just a touch of pathos i'm it. Her next
number was Richard Harding Davis
''Travers First Hunt" which, with its
humorous situations, took the house by
storm. Others were from Riley and
from Browning. Miss Savage possesses
rare ability as a reader, and her work
was thorough natural. The music of

 Last year the my dear Hartman" let ter of tine President, and the disclosures and half lights that subsequently, fol- lowed gave MT. Sherman fiickering pub licity of brand that pleased him little. But the reserve that was imposed on him from some unknown source kept aim from ever making anything like full explanation. At the time of the Harri- man incident MT. Sherman and the speak CT were cruising together off the Ber- mudas, and they returned just as the buzz in Wall street and the White House was dying down.
 The reporters in New York were all lined up to meet the incoming steamer, and the chances were that much light would be thrown on the Presidents letter and the reported contributions to the re- publican campaign fund. But as the ship

This fact was unmistakable in the way the democrats replied to the republican taunts When John Sharp Williams was delighting the House and the gal leries with his account of how John Dalzell with his near poetry" had murdered sleep and made staying awake an agony. and with his com parisons of Serene Payne to the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, the nick names of Sunny Jim and Slick ..ln rarely came in for ridicule.
 Before Speaker Cannon rose to his present dominating place in the Hou ,e Mr. sherman was credited with great devotion to the party leader of his own state, at that time Senator Platt. It was largely through the encoura1,- ment he got in this quarter-from Sen ator Platt Senator Depew and Repre- sentative Littauer-that MT. Sherman was induced to make his one race for the speakership.
 The truth of the matter probably is
 that MT. Sherman is essentially part

 Close To Party.
 Mir Sherman has come even closer to his party as chairman of the congress sional committee than as a member of congress. As chairman it has been his part to see the republican house returned at every election. He has succeeded in this task for several years now, and there is no better way of bringing the party to a leader than for the leader to bring the party safely back to power after the ar dors of campaign.
 In the social world of the capital Mrs. sherman has been compelled by ill health to refrain from taking too active a part During the last session, however, she and Mrs. Serene Payne were the leaders in forming the Congressional club, an or ganization whose membership was com posed of the wives of senators and rep resentatives. She was herself a charter member and director in all it's move- ments for bringing the congressional family closer together until an attack of nervous prostration compelled her to leave Washington early in the spring.
 In Washington MT. Sherman will be counted as shrewd politician, who has stood firmly for the older, reactionary regime. but whose personality and ad- dress has made him popular with the

 Who .J. O." was has never been dis closed, and that MT. sherman knew about the whole tangle has remained equally undiscovered.
 In 1901 the Utica representative figured largely in the Panama canal fight, and in the Investigations of hazing at the Military and Naval academies. As to the hazng, Mir. Sherman introduced the res- olution, and afterward studied conditions closely on the ground. As to the canal project MT. Sherman was credited with the bitterest opposition to the Panama scheme. He was said to have remarked that this country would not take the canal as gift-this after a conference with the President.
 The political sagacity of the republican nominee for the vice presidency is shown in nothing more strongly than in the way in which with his unfaltering adherence to Speaker Cannon and the reactionaries in the house he has yet managed to avoid any palpable breach with the White House. He has been recognized by the President and everybody else for what he is politically, but he has, so far, avoided being singled out by the Presi- dent for individual rebuke, and has pre- served show of friendliness with the n personnel of the administration while

WEAKENING OF
 MOSLEM WORLD
From Harner,s Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
 The faith of Islam is the most vital in huence in the world today. It is the only faith whose precepts form the basis of civil law throughout all countries in which it is dominant. It is making converts more rapidly than all other religions com bined. Its agents are swarming through all the territories of the Old World. They have civilized immense regions of central Africa and have built up the scattered pa- gan tribes into powerful communities; they are permeating the East Indies; they are breaking down the caste degra- dation of India; mosque has been built in Liverpool and another is projected for New York city. Before this triumphant progress many world-evils are scattered: the usurer the gambler, alcohol and all the debasing practices of pagan peoples.
 There are three mediums through which the new leaven is working. The first of these is the educational centre of Cairo. At the old El-Azhar university there ten thousand students receive free tuition from the faculties of theology and jurisprudence and the Gordon college at Khartum has an immense influence throughout the whole of the Sudan. The second medium IS the press. News or the chief occurrences of the modern world is now transmitted daily to scores of news papers in Egypt, Turkey, Persia, and other Oriental countries. The third med ium IS the new railroad between Damascus and Mecca, now nearly completed, which will convey thousands of pilgrims annual ly to the sacred city and greatly increase the intercourse of Moslems from all parts of the world.
 Everywhere the awakening of the Mo hammedan peoples is becoming more and more manifest. Persia has established constitutional government. Afghanistan has schools and factories, freedom of faith, and to us the supreme test of civil ization, an arsenal manned by native workmen, and a well-armed standing mil litia of 100000 men. The petition of Mo hammedan women, subjects of Russia, to the Duma, demanding equal rights and the suffrage, was recently the subject of comment in the American and European press.

Ministerial Diplomacy.
Everybody's Magazine.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 At dinner given by the prime minis ter of little kingdom on the Balkan peninsula, a distinguished diplomat com plained to his host that the minister of justice, who had been sitting on his left, had stolen his watch.
 "Ah, he shouldn't have done that" said the prime minister in tones of annoyance. "I will get it back for you."
 Sure enough, toward the end of the evening the watch was returned to it's owner.
 "And what did he say?" asked the dip- lomat.
 "Sh-h," cautioned the host, glancing anxiously about him. "He doesn't know that have got it back"
