soft but earnest report from the expert

1t is for untimely Fourth of July ce!e-

however, the undue curiosity Of the

~ ISCUSSION has been Started
regarding b extent to which
socialistic ideas prevail among
the clergy of Protestant
churches by the announcement as to
Christian Socialist Fellowship In New
York May 2S to 81. That social
istic views have made considerable
progress among the clergy is evidenced
by the number Of those participating
In this conference. Though the organ
ization is but three years old, it has
branches in all the leading cities in the
country, and fully 300 ministers are
openly allied with 1t, while many 9TH
ers have expressed themselves as
largely in sympathy with the move
ment. Although 1t has often been
charged in recent years that the
church and the workingmen are drift
Ing apart, there has grown up a gener-
alton Of church workers, both minis
terial and lay, who are seeking to
align the church always on the side
of the humber and wage earning
classes where any contest as to prin-
ciples or practice arises involving the
interests of opposing classes. Many
of those who are engaged in the move
ment to bring the church down to the
w%orkingman and the workingman I'D
to the church have economic views
that are radical if not socialistic.
The case is illustrated perhaps by
the instance of the SO called socialistic
tea parties on Sunday evenings in the
parish house of Ascension Episcopal
church. ON Fifth avenue, New York.
The rector of this church. the Rev. Or
Percy S. Grant. does not classify him
self as Il Socialist. Nevertheless he is
greatly Interested in socialism as Il
movement which is absorbing the de-
votion of great numbers among the
wage Farmers Of the country. He is
convinced that, whatever may be the
facts as to other countries, socialism in
America is destined to be a peaceful,
evolutionary movement in the interest
of justice. working out good to the

Another invention that is liable to
have an important effect upon the fu-

property in consideration of marriages
of citizens of he United States to for
eigners. Mr.. SABBATH was born in Be-
hernia in 1866. and when he was fiji
teen he cmigrated alone to the United
States and settled in Chicago, where
his total capital was less than $3.50.
He obtained work as a watch boy in
Il merchants establishment and after
working hours attended the public
night school. In 1887 he embarked in
the real estate business and two years
later commenced reading law. In 1892
he was admitted to the bar.
1t is an unusual controversy that has
arisen over the case of Colonel William
+. Stewart. who was 'banished' to
Fort Grant, Ariz. The reason assigned
for exiting the colonel to a desert fort
was his alleged "contentiousness and
impcrtinence" and his liability to get
into quarrels and stir up trouble. He
has found a champion in Senator Isl
dor Rayner Of Maryland. who says
that legal proceedings will be brought
to compel the secretary of war to
grant Colonel Stewart a court Of In

senator declares he will follow the

Natural Romance.

1r joyous June
We sit and spoon
The month was made for mating
Beneath a tree,
Where none can see,
The story old relating.
There hand in hand,
With rapture and
A feeling far from chilly.
We while away
The pleasant day,
So happy and SO silly.
Tho ky above
Is fair as love,
A pleasant sun is shining,
And should the air
One cloud speck bear
It has a silver lining.
The moments fly
Till by and by
Lights pale and grow uncertain,
And then and there
You are aware
Is time to draw the curtain.
And all too soon
Comes out the moon,
End to the seance bringing,
But you may guess
The answer Yes
Will wedding bells set ringing.

When. all in tune,
Dame Nature lightly touches
The minor string,
What living thing
Can then resist her clutches?

his important department at a critical
time in the history of his nation, which
IS now undergoing a commercial and

caused partly as a result Of the hard

the Chinese boycott on Japanese prod

something to do with it. Baron Yoshi-

His life was for a time despaired Of,

months later at the Eutaw House, in
Baltimore, he sent them an encourag-
