EVERY INCH A KING.

In the latest instalment of her Me moirs, in the February McClures FL len Terry writes with much feeling of her friend Oscar Wilde. It is when re- calling Irving and his successes, how ever, that she is at her best. She writes:
 Henry Irving could not at first keep away from melancholy pieces. Henrietta Maria was another sad part for me, but l used to play it we'll ex- cept vSlen l cried too much in the last act The play had been one of the Bateman productions. and had seen Miss Isabel Bateman as Henrietta Maria and liked her, although I could not find it possible to follow her ex ample and play the part with a French accent
 T constantly catch myself saying Of Henry: That is by far the best thing he ever did I could say it of some things in Charles I.'-of the way he gave up his sword to Cromwell of the way he came into the room in the last act and shut the door behind him. It was not man coming on to a stage to meet some one. It was king go- ing to the scaffold, quietly, unobtru- sively, and courageously. However of ten I played that scene with him, l knew that when he first came on he was not aware of my presence.
 Much has been said of his make up as Charles l. Edwin Long painted him triptych of Nandyke heads which he always had in his dressing room. and which is now in my posses sion. He used to come on to the stage looking precisely like the Vandyke portraits. but not because he had be- busy building up his face with wig paste and such-like aTocities. Ills makeup in this, as in other parts, was the process of assisting subtly and surely the expression from within. It was elastic, and never hampered him. It changed with the expression. As Charles he was assisted by Nature. who had given him the most beautiful Stuart hands; but his clothes most actors would have consigned to the dust bin! Before we had done with Charles I've played it together for the last time in 1902-these clothes were ready threadbare. Yet he looked "a them every inch a king"

GoRFE ST. BELL OUT
Fire Department Orders its Dis continuance for an Indefi-
 mite Period.
ONLY THREE BELLS NOW
It Is Possible the Unused Bell Now at Edwards Street Will Be Installed
 at the Tower.

Orders went forth from the chief of the fire department and the fire mar shal yesterday morning which will re- suit in the non-use of the big fire bell at the Goffe street tower for an imde- finite period This will leave the city with but three fire bells in commis- sion. that at city hall, that at No Is house on Howard avenue, and that on East Pearl street at No 5's. The order of yesterday came as the result of the crack in the Goffe streaet bell, which has been known to some cf the men in the department for some t:me. Of late the crack has so increased in size as to seriously interfere with the usefulness of the bell as a spreader of fire news. ust what will be done is not yet known, though there is rumor that possibly the bell, now un- used and lying at No. S's house on Edwards street, may be put up at Goffe street.
 The situation will recall some facts of interest In the history of the eraek- ed Goffe street bell. It weighs 3,S40 pounds and was first set up in wood en tower in the rear of the DiXwell avenue school house on Goffe street in 1873, when Chief 4. C. Hendricks es- tablished the fire alarm bells about the city. Chief Hendricks put ;n three bell towers during his administration. Q D street school and in Fair Haven in the rear of No. 5's house. Now all these original bells have gone out 4 com mission.
 At a later date the wooden twer was moved from the rear s the school to the present site of the iron tower, which was later ere,doa Tie change came about through snlt for damages which was threa.ened by a man named Higgins who used o i've next to the school house and who complained to the board of aldermen because of the vibrations caused by the bell ringing.
 The bell which is now unused at No. Ss house and which may 5e put up on the Goffe street tower original ly hung in a wooden tower at the rear of that house It is If 2,500 pounds weight Its predecessor, a bell weighing 4,20O pounds was rut up with that tower in 1874, and cracked some years after being hung end was superseded by the bell which is still perfect When the old wooden tcwer at No. s's house became rotten, 1t was taken down. The residents of the neighborhood brought Influence to bear to prevent a new tower Icing erected at that place. Since that time several places have been under con sideration. One of these has been the little triangular plot in sr) oS Forsythe's dye works, but there. too, there has been objection. In beth 1905 and 1908 sl,S0O was appropr!- ated to the fire department for the erection of new tower in the Fl. wards street section but becalse a situation for it could not be agreed upon the appropriation has cen transferred with permission to o:aer accounts. If the good bell is talk n to Goffe street there will probably be some active objection on the p,rt ct the Edwards street people who WI not want their chance for q fro Del near them gone Indefinitely.

The Making of a Religion

GA country with forty religions
and one gravy!" If the Frenchman
who thus summed up his impression
of American life were to visit us
again. he would find that the art OF
sauce making has considerably i'm
proved, and is now capable of turning
out quite varied product. Also he
would discover that the manufacture
of new religions goes cheerfully for
ward. There are at least several re-
cent additions which he might add to
his list. For some reason the Amer
lean mind seems to be unusually fer
tile in this kind of invention. All over
the world there must be good deal of
sense of the inadequacy of existing
religious institutions, and more or
less men must speculate as to what re-
ligion might be. But the American
is apt to have the courage of his con-
victions. and to manifest large de-
gree of confidence in the operations of
his own mind. When he conceives of
the better thing that ought to be put
in place of what exists, he generally
sets to work to effect that transfer.
When he has worked out philosophy
of life to his own satisfaction. he is
rather given to thinking that he has
made an original discovery of the
scent of the universe, and therefore

bring
Some fitting tribute to the mighty
King.

What flowers of learning graced the

What gems of wisdom dropped with
every word;
What wholesome lessons he was

In pleasing proverbs; and she wished.

To know if Rumor spoke the simpl'
truth.
Besides the Queen had heard (Which
piqued her most)
How through the deepest riddles he
would spy:
How all the curious arts that women
boast
Were quite transparent to his pier
cling eye;
And so the Queen had come-a royal
guest
To put the sage's cunning to the test.
And straight she held before the mon
arch s view
In either hand radiant wreath of
flowers:
In one. bedecked with every charm

The other, no less fair in every part,
Was the rare product of divinest Art.

compeers. With what happy salts
faction must we then contemplate the
condition of our women in America!
To her are accorded privileges which
by divine right belong to her. She IS
the active spirit in benevolent instltu-
tions and the life and light in every
movement that elevates and improves
Jewish life. Side by side with the
sterner sex the gentle woman wOr-
ships God in our temples, and her be-
nign influence reaches out to all our
institutions and organizations, ind
ing time and means, besides to help
our non-Jewish neighbors.
We are proud of our women, and 1t
is meet that she become aware OF the
fact that her standing is superior to
Jewish women of other countries, that
she may with modest pride declare:
"Thank God, am an American Jew
ess!"
Now. let our women keep up this
standard and WELD their beneficent
influence over Jewish affairs, build up
Jewish life among Jews, and make
Judaism the crowning glory of our eX-
istence. Let them dissuade their hus-
bands. brothers, cousins, friends and
beaus from bringing them tickets to
the opera, theater, ball or any enter
tainment that would interfere with
the Sabbath or holy-day services in
our temples. evening or morning. and
cause God s Sabbaths to be sanctified.
Let them particularly guard against
the odious style of Friday night par

them sweetly command with angelic
persuasion that all who can devote

positiveness determine that it is i'm

Jews Christmas presents. Children

has found rock on which he too can
build church so that the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
Now. so far as the multiplication OF
religious sects proceeds from deep
ening ethical insight or from revolt
against further carrying of outworn
PHILOSOPHERS, whether or not the pro-
cess is to be lamented, undoubtedly 1t
will 90 steadily on. 1t may be the
counsel of wisdom to remain within
the old organization and work from
that vantage point for the elimination
of whatever is to be complained OF.
TO many, at least, this will seem both
the wiser and the more comfortable
way. But to others this becomes at
last impossible. They find the burden
of conformity too heavy to bear.
Either they voluntarily withdraw to
attempt the formation of a new house
hold of faith, free from such encum-
brance, or they speak their mind So
plainly that they are forcibly elected
from their ancient spiritual habita-
ton. All this is incidental to the de-
velopment of the religious conscious
ness, and there will be more of it in
days to come.
But, in so far as the making of new
religions grows out of a persuasion
that new philosophy has been found
or is about to be discovered, that will
provide the world with an answer to
its deepest intellectual problems. The
progress of the age is rapidly putting
an effective check upon that kind of
adventure The modern mind is bet
ter protected from such overweenins
ambition than was the mind of earlier
generations.
Once. it is said. men undertook to
build a tower that should reach up
into heaven. The blue dome of the
sky, just above the clouds, did not
seem so very far away: and, if only
they could build up to it, they might
break through into the abode of the
gods. So. while men had no adequate
sense of the profundity of the myster-
les by which they were surrounded.
they We're easily confident of con-
structing philosophy whereby the
whole of existence could ne accounted
for and explained. In later days we
have climbed a taller height Of knowl-
edge to look out over such CULTS of the
uneXplored and unknown. never
dreamed of before. that we must now
pcrforce abandon the idea of covering
these spaces with any ''scheme and
plan' we are able to produce.
This, perhaps, is the main lesson
which Pragmatism brings to us :;
that we must, for the present, at least.
give up hope of attaining the knowl-
edge which understands all myster-
les. We have the faith which is a
veritable part of us. and which springs
naturally out of the facts of existence
as they are known to us. That we can
clarity and develop, and apply to the
conduct of life. But still it is writ

This is now being so strongly borne
in upon the modern consciousness that
he who comes forward with a new
view of the universe to expound is not
likely to create more than a ripple of
passing interest. Not many new de-
partures in religion are likely to be
thus successfully launched. -

to add this disturbing factor to those
which already agttate the public mind
here. The boundary dispute with
Canada serves in a measure to in
flame the popular antipathy toward
the dominion which is so striking an
element Of colonial political sentiment.
Newfoundland Is the only portion OF
British North America outside the
dominion. The curious feature about
the matter IS that every public man in
the colony is confederate. or at any
rate has declared himself more or less
equivocally in favor of confederation
at some time or another. but they are
all pledged not to attempt to bring IT
about unless after decision in favor Of
It from the people at the polls.
In the present conflict each side is
vehemently lenouneing its opponent
as the confederate party, and the be-
lief that the people can be sta1npeded
in, this fashion, as they we're in years
gone by, is still as prevalent, and pos
