The quadruple description of the cru- cihxion Is a literary marvel Though . circumstance of transcendent im- portance. the narrative of 1t Is surpris- ingly condensed. There is no spin ming out of details, no obtrusion of the personal opinions and sentiments of the narrators. Here is a suggestion of how we ourselves should approach Cal vary. It is not a theme for voiubility. There should be no striving to magni- fy its painful horrors. or to compare the physical sufferings of its victim with the sufferings of others. A spir- itual interpretation is the thing desir- able. A personal appropriation by faith Is great riches.
 We first have the numbering of Je- sus with transgressors. He was cruel fed between the malefsctors, the in- surgent robbers and murderers. He who could challenge the world to im- peach His slnlessness was made sim He was put to the extremity of con victed felon. With the shedding of his blood begins his mediatorial prayer. Father. forgive them" The 'inven- tiveness of love" finds a palliating cir cumstance in their ignorance. They know not what they do." The prayer sweeps out to include. not the coarse executioners alone. but the cunning conspIrators who use them as their tools. It Is enough to brand with m fanny the destroying vice of gambling. that 1t obtruded itself at the cructfx- ion. The soldiers threw dice to deter mine which should have the most val uable garment of the sufferer. They "chanced off" the seamless robe.
 He saved others" Unconscious. un- designed encomium. Let him save himself" Last recurrence of the temp tation of the wilderness. That which Is a literal possibility Is moral im- possibility. Except he stay upon the cross He can not be savior. If he remains not. he can not utter that in- effable cry, Tt Is finish the work the Father gave Me to do." Keener than mortal pangs are the brutal gibes of rulers, populace and soldiery. That triple inscription may signify that the story of the cross is destined to go in- to all languages. as it there appeared in the tongues of conquest, culture ana colloquy.
 The 'third word" of Jesus from his cross Is a lustrous example of nlial ar lection. Even shame and agony of his crucifxion was not sufficient to divert his tn ought from his mother or to con fuse his judgment as to what would be the best provision for her. In touching and significant terms he com mended her to the care of his dearest friend.

NAT (. GOODWIN WEDS
 MISS EDNA GOODRICH

Boston. Mass. Nov S.-Nat c. Good win the comedian and Edna Goodrich a well-known' actress who formely starred with Mir Goodwin were married at o'clock today at the home here of Mir. Goodwin's mother. The cere- mony was performed by a justice of the peace who has been a friend of MT. Goodwin since boyhood but whose name was not made public.
 The wedding party arrived here from New York early today and comprised Mrs. Nellie Stevens. mother of the bride; Miss Goodrich. Mir. Goodwin and George o. Weeian. MT. Goodwin's manager These with MT. GoodwIn's mother were the only ones present at the ceremony. The house was decorated with roses. lilies of the valley and we'd after the ceremony.
 The couple remained in Boston un' til late this evening. taking the mid night train for New York.
 The wedding today is the fourth marriage of Mr. Goodwin and the sec ond of Miss Goodrich. The ceremony was held in Boston. said Mir. Goodwin, that he might have an opportunity of seeing his mother before he entered on arrangements which would prevent his again coming to Boston for some months.
 NO. my marriage will not in the least affect my stage ambitions" de- elared Mrs. Goodwin. T hope 1t win materially aid them. On account of my health I shall not return to the stage this winter but shall take a good long rest.

RELIGIOUS FAITH OF
 THE NEW PRESIDENT

pens to have q particular religious creed. Such a consideration should never be treated as . reason for either supporting or opposing candidate for. a political office. Are you aware that there are several States in this Union where the majority of the people arc now Catholics? I should reprobate in the severest terms the Catholics who in those States Cor fin any other States) who refused to vote for the most fit man because he happened to be a Protestant; and my condemnation would be exactly as severe for Protest ants who, under reversed circum- stances refused to vote for a Catho- lie. In public life I am happy to say that have known many men who were elected. and constantly reelected. to office in districts where the great majority of their constituents were of different religious belief know Catholics who have for many years represented constituencies mainly Protestant and Protestants who have for many years represented constituent cies mainly Catholic; and among the Congressrnen whom know particular ly well was one man of Jewish. faith. who represented q district in which there were hardly any Jews at all. All of these men by their very existence In political life refute the slander you have uttered against your fellow Americans.
 Future PreaHaebts.
 T believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among its Presidents, Protestants and Catholics. and very probably, at some time Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any future President who happens to be a Catholic will act towards his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that was unfit to represent the American people.
 Tn my Cabinet at the present mo- ment, there sit side by side, Catholic and Protestant. Christian and Jew, each man chosen because in my belief he is peculiarly 1t to exercise on be- half of all our people the duties of the office to which | have appointed him. In no case does the mans re- ligious belief in any way influence his discharge of his duties, save as 1t makes him more eager to act justly and uprightly in, his relations to all men. The same principles that have obtained in appointing the members of my Cabinet, the highest officials under me. the officials to whom Is entrusted the work of carrying out all the im- portant policies of my administration, are the principles upon which all good Americans should act in choosing. whether by election or appointment. the men to i'll any ofice from the highest to the lowest in the land.

No Word From Berlin Regarding Ger
 many's Attitude.
 Paris. Nov. s--No new word has come from Berlin with reference to the German governments attitude In the Casa Blanca affair and further de- lay Is considered likely owing to the confusion which prevails among the German officials and the necessity of manoeuvering before the Reichstag. But French opinion remains sereneiy confident that Germany eventually will yield on the point upon which France insists and that both countries will express regret for the incident"
 There is no trace of bluff in the French attitude and the spectacle pre- scented by France last week must have convinced Germany that in all her dealings with the German government since the capture of 1870. France never displayed such an exhibition of national solidarity. The people. the press and parliament. Royalist. clerical, liberal and socialist, men of every political shade, have acclaimed the govern ment's decision to stand firm for the maintenance of national dignity. Moreover. Germany doubtless is aware that Great Britain and Russia have been consulted upon every steT France has taken and fully share this governments view and in addition art prepared to give material as we'll ai moral support to France.
 Europe Is now witnessing the firsi real test of the strength of whai amounts to an Anglo Russo-Frencf triple allinance and France already halls it as marking her definite eman- eipation from what is termed heI German domineering."

TAFT ENJOYS REST
DID SOME GREAT SLEEPING SAT- URDAF NIGHT.
The sunday Quiet Enjoyed By Mir. Taft Yeaterday Was In Striking Contrast To Ills Recent
 Campaign.

Hot Springs. Va, Nov, s-'T really did some great work at sleeping last night and am already beginning to feel the tiredness disappearing"
 This was Judge Taft's comment this afternoon as from the wide porch of hls cottage among the trees. he look ed at the red sun slip behind the noun tains over which laziIy hung the blue smoke of many forest fires.
 The Sunday quiet which Mir. Taft enjoyed today was in striking con trast to the. days of turmoil he has gone through and he gave himself up to rest.
 Cameron Forbes. vice governor of the Philippines, and Mir. Luzuriga, a Filipino, member of the Philippine Commission, called on Mir. Taft today. Both are returning to the islands after some time spent in this country and a general discussion wasindulged in re- specting Philippine matters.
 Representative Joseph ". Gaines, of West Virginia, stopped here today and had a talk with Judge Taft. Mir. Gaines is on his way to Washington to attend the tariff hearings to be held by the Ways and Mean Committee of the House of Representatives, of which he is member.
 It Is the belief of Mir. Gaines that there is unanimity of opinion between Judge Taft and the majority members of the committee. and that all are be- lievers in the principle of protection and that the nature of the protection should be the difference between the cost of producing an article here and abroad, including a fair profit in the calculation. The difficulty of the work to be done in framing a new tariff, he added, was in arriving at the basis of cost. Frank H. Hitchcock has teIegraphej Judge Taft that he will be here on Tuesday.
 Representative T. B. Burton of Cleveland. will arrive here for a con- ference on Wednesday.
