TILLmAN AND ToucHsroNe.

Senator Tillman is classic even in
his bitterness. In his elaborate NOM
ination of Attorney General Bonaparte
for membership of the Ananias club
the Senator went into dissertation
on the grades OF untruthfulness and
the degree OF quarrel such as he
was supposed to be having with the
the Oregon land case He remarked
that Shakespeare in sAs You Like
IT. has put words in the mouth of
Touchstone which determined the de-
gree of a lie warranting fight. and
quoted as follows:
%. sir. we quarrel in print, by the
book; as you have books for good
manners; viii name you the degrees.
The first, the retort courteous: the
second, the quip modest: the third.
the reply churlish; the fourth. the Ie-
proof valiant; the fifth, the couat.r
check quarrelsome; the sixth, tie liz
With circumstance; the seventh. The

might be ciouded with rhetoric to his

LECTURE ON PANAMA.
Claude n. Bennett Talks Interest
ingIy of Work in Canal Zone.


At the Columbia Theater last night. be-
fore an audience which comfortably filed
the playhouse. Claude y. Bennett. the
well-known Washington newspaper man,
talked Interestingly Of the Panama Canal
and the great work that is being done
on the isthmus by the engineers OF the
army. Mr. Bennett is an easy speaker.
without distinguishing mannerisms, but
with a charm Of personality which places
him at once on a level with his auditors.
His talk was that Of a man thoroughly
familiar with his task. and who had made
an exhaustive study OF conditions in the
Zone and Of the problems which con-
front the United States IN this under
taking.
In a preliminary discourse, before the
pictures were thrown on the screen, Mr..
Bennett gave a few statistics regarding
the work on the canal, and endeavored
by Illustration to convey TO the minds
OF HIS hearers some idea OF the COM
paratively huge problem involved. He
stated that every days work on the. canal
saw removed a bulk Of earth and rock
equal IN cubic diameter 10 the Capitol.
and that every day material was removed
equal to twice the weight OF the Wash
tngton Monument He also stated that II
the material excavated and removed each
month were 10 be loaded into ordinary
two-horse wagons. II would form a pro-
cession that would girdle the earth The
facts and figures presented, both orally
and upon the screen. interested the au-
dience greatly, and when comparisons
were made between the work done by the
United States engineers and the French
company, showing the American work 10
be far in excess from every possible
viewpoint, the audience broke into en-
thusiastic applause. Mr.. Bennett then
showed great variety OF interesting pic
lures. interspersed with a little talk re-
garding each one. He compared the
finished Panama Canal with the Seven
Wonders Of the World. and declared that
II was worthy Of being described as the
eighth and greatest wonder Of them all.
not only from the standpoint Of human
achievement, but from a utilitarian as
pect as well. Some Of the pictures shown
were taken during the visit Of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt TO the isthmus, and others
showed the inspection trip taken by Presi-
dent Taft. when he WIS simply President
elect.
The educational value Of Mr.. Benefits
lecture Is undeniable, for there were many
things that he referred to that were new.
and he took occasion TO refute some Of
the statements made by various critics
Of the canal proposition. notably PouIt-
ney Bigelow. He IS an enthusiastic ad-
vocate Of the work. as Is natural. and
assured the audience that the actual
figures proved that the estimate given
out by the engineers that the canal would
be finished January !. 1915, was based
upon calculation and not mere guess
work.
Altogether the lecture was one that ap-
pesls especially 10 Washingtonians who
take an active interest IN national affairs.
The talk viii be repeated on Wednesday
evening at the Columbia Theater.

TELLS OF WORK IN GUATEMALA
Rev. Mr.. MeBath Gives Interesting
Account of His Labors.
Climatic Conditions Described as
Being Trying by Reason of
Sudden Changes.

After fifteen years work among the
5000 inhabitants OF Quezaltenango, a
city OF Guatemala, only twenty-five per
sons have been accepted into the Presby-
terian Church. was the remarkable state
ment made by Rev. Walter f. NcBath,
at the Fourth Presbyterian Church last
evening.
This inhniteslmally small number Of
communicates was accounted for by the
speaker on account OF the high standard
maintained by the church in the personnel
Of its members.
Mr. McBath in his address on mission
work in Guatemala. country OF which
little is known, said il was not a tropical
country, and that tonight he was ex-
periencing the hottest weather he had
encountered in the six years away from
Washington" Continuing his remarks
upon the climatic conditions OF this
southern country. he said:
The change IN temperature IS most
trying. We get our change from sum
mer 10 winter IN the course Of one dav
instead Of waiting months as is done IN
the States.
The Indians Of Central America are a
hard working. industrious people and
possess none Of the war-like Character
istics Of the North American red men.
"Of the 100000 Indians in this country
all are totally devoid OF education. many
OF them not even speaking the Spanish
language. There exists among this peo-
PIE nineteen different dialects. which ac-
counts for the little tha; has been ac-
comphshed by the missionaries"
The speaker IS a son OF A. W. McBath.
Of Washington. and Is spending his va
cation in this country in company with
his wife. who has had one more years
experience in this particular field than
Mr McRath.

HIS BUTLER HAD SMALLPOX
Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church
Understood Alarm of the Worship

Another Pastor, Who Preached at
Services-NOt 90 Appear Sunday.

Rather than risk arousing the fears Of
any OF his congregation, Rev. DR.. Samuel
II. Greene, pastor Of Calvary Baptist
Church, whose negro butler was recently
a smallpox patient. turned his pulpit over
TO another minister yesterday. and at
neither morning nor evening service Wis
tied the church.
As DR.. Greene explained. his action was
entirely voluntary. believing IL best TO
give his congregation the benefit OF any
doubts they might have as 10 the danger
OF his appearing among them, He ex-
planned that while his home was under
quarantine. he had personal passes for
himself and family 10 leave and return
to the house at will
None Of the members Of his family, said
Or. Greene had been IN in any way and
most certainly had shown no symptoms
OF smallpox. He said the negro butler.
who was removed from the house, there
by causing the quarantine, had recovered

charged from the hospital

He secuted the idea of there being any
danger 10 himself or family.
IT.
Greene's church were undecided and nerv-
Gus about attending the services yester-
day morning, and their pastor. seeming
this apprehension. announced that Rev.
A. S. Hobart. Of Crozier Theological
Seminary, would fiji the pulpit at both
morning and evening services. There
was. therefore. no diminution in attend
ance at the services
DR.. Hobart filed the pulpit well and was
heartily congratulated by members Of the
church.
Dr. Greene announced last night that
he would not preach next Sunday. Il IS
understood many OF his congregation
have asked HIM 10 reconsider this de-
cision. bat he steadfastly perseveres in his
intention Of remaining away from the
church until the most skeptical shall be
thoroughly convinced that there is no
danger Of contagion.
