Shouting doesn't settle all old ac-
counts with God or man. All forms
OF amusement are preached against,
but the pious scamp who never pays
MIs debts is allowed to go on his
way rejoicing, bringing in the
ssheaves that he swiped from his
meighbor and Others. Preachers and
church members who do not pay
their debts are doing the cause Of
christianity more harm than all
eother classes combined. The effect

church organization. Its sincerity is
questioned by the very people the
church is trying to reach. Members
should pay their debts or get out
OF the church and quit impeding its
progress. They are bringing reproacl
npon it and destroying its powers.

old hymn, Jesus Paid 1t All, they d

Gabrielle d'Annunzlo Has Numerous

The wardrobe Of Gabrielle .d'Annun.
zio shares with his new play, "The
Ship" the attention OF the italian
newspapers. A Roman reporter who
got an opportunity to look over his
stock of clothes reports that the poet
owns 72 shirts, LA pairs OF colored
socks, some of silk and some OF
thread; As pairs of street gloves and
"a pairs of white ones; umbrellas,
including several of violet hue; 20
dozen handkerchiefs, $50 scarfs and
neckties, 10 house jackets and 6 pairs
Of slippers.
There were about a dozen hats OF
all shapes, evening dress coats, dinner
coats, frock coats, waistcoats, fancy
and plain. Trousers and shoes are
described as innur1erable. The pur-
chase of new supplies is described as
being a serious business on which
the poet concentrates his artistic
faculties, So that nothing may belong
to him which is not worthy 5f him.
He also gives up his whole soul in the
process of dressing, so that his mind
may be completely at liberty when 1t
is over in the consciousness that no
mistakes have been made through dis

: WALKING Round the World.

OF late years quite "a number OF

world, mainly with the object Of win.
ming O wager. M. Georges Grandin,
however, a French gentleman, who,
having twice made tour of the world
ON foot, is now about to begin a
third journey, is, actuated by quite
different motive:s He is a man Of
property and means, and the sole
object of his seIf-imposed end ardu-
Gus task is the patriotic one Of pro
noting the friendship of France
among the various countries he visits.
Not only does M. Grandin not bet
or live on charity during his journeys
but he makes considerable profits by
selling en- the way books and pamph,
lets recounting the Interesting impress
stons of his tours, and out of these
profits he has already given a con.
siderable sum to-, d hospital in his
own commune.
One Of his experiences was Of a
q
particularly thrilling character. While
passing through Abyssinia he was
taken for an Italian spy, manacled
and imprisoned for a month. During
this time he was terrorized by his
guards, but succeeded by bribe in
getting them to remove his chains.
1t was only after a march of three
hundred miles through a desert, dur
Ing which his guards threatened tn
shoot him IL he tried to escape, that

case of Anderson vs.. Francis, which
referred to an alleged obstruction OF

square. The Plaintiffs we're the rec.

asked for an Injunction to restrain the
defendants, who are the owners and
occupiers of 40, AZ and A Maddox
street, W., opposite the north side of
the church, from carry out proposed
alterations 80 as to interfere with and
diminish the light. Of the church. The
defendants denied that the plaintiffs
had any grounds for complaint.
Mr.. Eve, X. c., said that damages
were not asked for, as it was case
il which damages would be no com.
pensation for the interference Of
which complaint was made. Light was
obtained by the church almost exclu.
siyely from the windows on the north
and south sides, and experiments
showed that the greater part of the
light was received from the former
The ancient lights of the church
(Which was erected in 17z5) were not
contested, the sole question being
whether an additional story proposed
to be added to the defendants build
Ing would materially diminish the
light.
The Rev. David Anderson, rector of
st. Georges since February, 1891, and
DR.. Charles Edward Jolly, the organ

were carried out the effect on the
church would be disastrous during the

TeIepathy In Golf.

A golf story which Is less cryptic
10 the general than most Is told by
the County Gentleman. Smithson
had been having III many ways an
exasperating round, and his caddie, a
small youth of inhumah aspect. had
not only committed every known
crime during the round, but had only
hiccupped in response to anathemas.
However, on the last green, Smithson.
despite his misfortune, still had a
two-foot putt to halye the match.
He missed it, and turning upon his
caidie, he wrathfully exclaimed: "l
believe you willed that, you littla
d!"-Mancheste Guardian.

DON'T CARE FOR DRESS.

The Russian Empress cares little
for dress, though her coronation robe
Of cloth of silver and pearls was
marvellous thing. And she looked
like some goddess of the North in
u novel ball dress I designed for her
recently. II was simple gown
pf white velvet with long train and
superb veil This last was kept in
IT'S place by jewelled white dove
tightly, perched on the Tsaritsa's hair,
which was arranged over a cushion.
Carmen sylvia, the white-haired Queen
: Of Roumania, affects, the charming
flowing draperies Of her country. with
d long lace veil held in position with
jewelled pins. The favorite color OF
Queen Elena Of Italy is soft blue
gray. Wilhelmina of Holland feels
most at home in tailor-made gown,
and the Dowager Queen of Spain has
brilliant taste in patterned brocades
and silks.-Worth in Harper's Balar;
