A FOOL MOTHER.

If girl has fool mother, she is
apt to know it by the time she is q
years old. Miss Elsie Sigel must have
had suspicion that her mother was
mentally irresponsible; that she had
gone crazy about Saving the souls"
of the Chinese. Miss Sigel must have
had strong suspicion that going to
the room of a Chinaman was improp-
er; she must have known that carry
ing on a love affair with two China
men was somewhat out of line. Mrs.
Sigel deserves all the abuse she is get
ting, but Elsie Sigel was old enough
to know. She invested in love at.
fair with Chinaman, and seemed
to enjoy his jealousy. Miss Elsie q
gel was no innocent young thing.

POOR RELIGION

Philadelphia, July 27-Nor for
many years has theological storm
risen of magnitude to compare with
the unsparing denunciation of Charles
Norton Eliot. president emeritus of
Harvard, by clergymen of all Chris
tiaE denominations.
Philadelphia. a stronghold Of ortho-
doXy, leads in the chorus of Indignant
comments from her ministers, called
forth by the remarkable speech of the
educator before the Harvard summer
school of theology, at Cambridge
Roman Catholic. Protestant, Episco-
pal, Methodist Episcopal, Presbyter-
ian and Baptist join in denouncing the
advanced stand taken by DR.. Eliot.
Although majority OF Philadelphia
clergymen are away from town enjoy
Ing their vacations, an interview up
on Dr. Eliot's speech from a clergy
man of each denomination has been
obtained in order to show the state of
feeling among ministers of the differ
ent denominations.
"Outrageous"-Dr. DOwney.
"It's absolutely outrageous" was
the comment of the Rev. DR.. Downey,
editor of The Methodist, as he picked
up newspaper and read a report of
DR.. Eliot's speech. Il do not under

Christian. Such religion as that is
no religion"
DR.. William P. Fulton, head of the
Presbyterian evangelical committee,

ing tho brilliant flight made by Nj.
Bleriot across the channel. Nj. Arch
dean said:
II rejoice in the glory of France, in
the impetus given to the new French
Industries and because ! persuaded
Nj. Bleriot when he failed with a
wing -fapping machine, to continue
/ consider it easier to fly over land
than over the sea on account Of the
air currents ana the difficulty in de.
termining7 distance. nj. Quinton re-
peatedly predicted that England in
five years would cease to be an
island. Keep France in the van in the
conquest Of the air, which was the
object in the formation of the Aero
league"
Count Henri de La Vaulx while en-
thusiastic over Bleriot's achievement
insisted that the spherical balloon
must not be forgotten. He considers
its utility incontestable, as it alone
gives poetic sensation and blissful
tranquility and can attain heights
capable Of solving many problems in
teresting to humanity and he expects
that balloons ultimately will be
equipped with a motor. He considers
that the aero plane supplements the
dirigible by its extraordinary swift
ness and is destined to become the
torpedo boat OF the aerial navy.
Another Try for Latham.
Dover, July 27.-Hubert Latham,
the Frech aviator made another dar-
ing attempt to cross the English chan
mel at o'clock this evening. He sue
ceeded in covering nearly nineteen of
the twenty-one :niles of the channel.
but fell into the water two miles off
Dover. The five French torpedo boats.
which accompanied him from the
French side of the channel were left
behind by the fast flying manoplane.
Latham had started earlier in the day
and be proposed to fly from Calais
across the channel and continue the
journey overhead to London. sixty
five miles inland, eclipsing the recent
exploit of Louis Bleriot. An accident
prevented the accomplishment of
either of these feats, but his record
of flight is near to that made by
Bleriot. Latham's motor gave out.

Pressure on Spinal cord-stood the
Operation Well.
Annapolis, Md, Nov. S.-A most
delicate operation was successfully
performed upon Midshipman Earl d.
Wilson, a vertebrae of whose neck
was broken during the football game
on Oct 16. The laminae or outward
covering were cut away from four of
the Vertebrae of the neck in order to
remove pressure on the spinal cord.
and the covering of the spinal cord
was removed and the cord thoroughly
inspected. Portions of the Fractured
bone from the fifth vertebrae were
removed, but it was found that the
greatest injury to the cord had been
fourth vertebrae.
The cord was found to be intact,
though in very bad condition at the
point of injury. 1t is believed that all
pressure has been removed and that
Wilson's chance of ultimate recovery
is greatly improved. In successfully
passing through the anaesthia Will
son has accomplished a great deal. as
this was one of the greatest dangers
connected with the operation.
Chances Of Recovery Increased.
The operation took place after a
consultation with the full approval OF
Midshipman Wilson himself, and his
father, West B. Wilson, of CovingtOn
KY, who is here. Wilson's chances OF
recovery are now greatly increased
No signs of a diminutiOn of the par
alysis have appeared yet nor are they
expected until the spinal cord will
have sufficient time to resume a more
nearly normal condition. Should the
paralysis leave, Wilson will have haC
no bad effects from the accident, ex
