PROGRESS OF WOMEN.
A Feminine Reporter in the Berlin
Landtag.

From the New York Sun.
A woman journalist, Nine. Flamon-
kova. has just been allowed to sit in the
press gallery and report the proceedings
of the Berlin landtag. Never before has
one of her sex had this privilege in Ger
many.
In England. Of course. the same rule
prevails. A woman cannot report par
llamentary doings and is not eligible for
the press gallery.
The Turkish women, who are continually
demonstrating their independence, have
now expressed wish to be allowed to be
present at the opening OF parliament and
10 assist at future debates in the chamber
Of deputies
Some OF the leaders of the women's
cause went to the Young Turk leaders
several days ago and formally asked for
the privilege, pointing out that if Chris
tian women are to be allowed to follow
the proceedings they also should be per-
mitted to do so and that latticed gal
lery could be reserved for them
They added that II only Christian wom
en- were admitted at any future date and
Turkish women excluded they would fol-
low the example of the London sufYra-
gettes and make a demonstration outside
the parliament building.
The committee did not reply to this de-
mand of the deputation, pleading that it
must take some time for consideration of
the matter.

THE BUNYAN MEMORIAL.
Westminster to Have a Rich Win.
dow in His Honor.
From the Outlook

from Inc OUTLOOK.
It Is somewhat of surprise. when one
comes TO think of 1t. that England 8
shrine OF her greatest dead contains no
monument of the man whose writing next
perhaps to the Bible and Shakespeare. has
most profoundly affected the thought and
aspirations Of English speaking people the
world over.
Even that statement, broad as 1t is. does
not cover the whole Of John Bunyan's
influence. The Pilgrims Progress has
been translated into almost every language
and has thus passed into the general liter
AZURE Of the world. In respect of his In
fuence upon religious thought Bunyan's
masterpiece may be said to have influ-
enced the thought of English speaking
peoples far more profoundly than Millions
Paradise Lost and to rival that great
epic as an expression of the poetry OF
Puritanism.
Perhaps the fact that Bunyan has as
may be due to the manner in which his
fame grew, spreading at first only among
the lowiy and the deeply religious and
gradually compelling the admiration OF the
learned and the great.
The movement to place a Bunyan me-
mortal In Westminster was begun by Dr.
CLIFFORD as president of the Baptist World
ANance. but the request he drew up has
beeh signed by leading men In all denorni-
nations and walks OF English life and the
request for the admission OF such monu-
ment or memorial in the venerable abbey
mas been granted by the dean. The form
ahe proposed memorial is to take is that

NEW VERSION OF BIBLE.
Being Made Under the Auspices of
American Jews.

From the New York Sun.
A new translation OF the Scriptures is
betng prepared under the joint auspices
Of the Jewish Publication Society Of
America and the Central Conference of
American Rabbis In response TO many
inquiries they have issued statement
Of the methods they propose to follow.
According to the statement the new
translation aims at conserving the form
which the Scriptures have assumed In
the English tongue through the two great
historical versionS-the Authorized OF 1911
and the Revised of 1SS4-but In more
particular manner and above all it pur-
poses to adhere faithfully to the form in
which the synagogue has handed down
the original text
From the point Of view Of its fidelity
to the English versions 1t does not lay
claim to being a new translat ton, but
is an interesting fact in the history of
Bible translations that once a translation
had been put forth there was little at
tempt at creating in that particular
tongue an absolutely novel translation;
the old translation was always subjected
to revision.
Thus Aquila and Symmachus and Theo-
legion revised the older Greek transla-
ton OF the Seventy, the Vulgate repre-
sents a recasting of the old Latin trans
lation antedating Jerome, and our own
Tyndale's version and Of others. All
transla lions seem to share In the sacred
ness Of the original; they become sacred
through the religious associations.
In the case Of the older English YER
sion it is well known how it has become
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-02-13

an English classic, part and parcel Of the
great English literature: its phraseology
has entered the very English language
and cannot be severed therefrom with i'm
punity. Hence it Is that the new transla-
ton will not attempt to discard familiar
phrases unless in the judgment OF the
editors they fail to do justice to the he-
brew original. Even in such cases the
familiar renderings will be recorded in
the margin.
Nor will there be any attempt at mod
ernizing the diction. Biblical English
has ring and force which up-to-date
language cannot equal. The Quaintness
of the English Bible Is charm that must
not be sacrificed to an exaggerated de-
sire for inteiligibility The errors OF trans
lation must at all hazards be corrected:
absolutely unlntelligible or misleading
words must be discarded, but care must
be taken to preserve the beauty OF the
biblical English. for the English Bible
as a classic is dear to all English speak.

+ One Of the striking things in connection
>vith the Union station Is the character OF
the comments heard IN regard to it from
people who see it for the first time. The
size and extent of the structure are likely
to be spoken about, but not first in all
cases, for though the impression Of large
and ample space is naturally and inevita-
bly, conveyed with such great dimensions.
yet the proportions are such that this Is
not the foremost impression on every
mind.
1t is not meant to attempt to describe
what Is thought about such a building
by those who through training and OBJ
servation are supposed to be competent to
form an opinion from purely architectu-
raj or artistic standpoint The purpose IS
rather to gather at random from the OBJ
servations OF the passing traveller some
expressions which. will give an idea OF
what such a building means to the aver
age mind, or at least to the mind that has
not been trained to see and to look at
structures with the eye of an artist or Of
an architect. or OF one who knows the
laws Of harmonies in composition and in
color
What is said about the building by the
average person who passes through 1t and
tells what he thinks as he Is talking about
his coming to the city and what he saw
here and his experiences in general? In a
word, how is this building mentioned in the
tales of travellers to this city? OF course,
it Is manifestly impossible to gather the
views of all travellers on this or any
other subject, or perhaps of what would
be looked upon as a fair proportion of
them, If the numbers are regarded from
the standpoint Of the statiStician.
But the man one meets who has seen
the building for the first time. the friend
from q distance who has come to the
city for a visit, the one who comes with
q letter of introduction-in general, the
average run of visitors to the city without
any special training or cultivated tastes
except those which are common to all per-
son OF average intelligence-whatd does he
say about 1t?
Proportion, Not Ornament.
1t will be found the most general re-
mark heard is "How beautiful it isl" And
no doubt II an attempt were made to find
out why the average observer thinks OF
it in this way it would be difficult to
frame an answer. There are other things
which are heard about the Union station.
but the satisfaction expressed with it's
general effect is general. This is the
more surprising because the structure is
as plain in detail and as devoid of orna-
ment as 1t is possible for such a structure
to be. There Is no carving or ornamental
plaster work. nor are there panels or
lowered capitals, either inside or outside
of the structure.

BoSToN'S PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A State Institution as Well-Anv-
body Can Draw Books.

From the Boston watchman.
1t Is probably not generally known that
all the privileges Of the Boston Public
Library are open to all citizens of the
state Part OF the ground on which the
present building stands belonged to the
state of Massachusetts,, and it was granted
to the library on condition that the use
OF the library should be free to citizens
of the state Visitors to Boston are, of
course. welcomed to the free use Of the
library: nut persons in other parts Of the
state can obtain books from the Boston
library through their local libraries II
resident OF town or city outside of
Boston wishes book not in the local IL
brary the librarian will send to the Bos-
ton library for it, If requested, and the
Boston library then loans the book to the
local library. which becomes responsible
for its return. The Boston Public Lii

when a book is returned it takes four
people to get it back into it's place on

BEAUTY OF STRUCTURES

Why the Union Station Is Admired Though Devoidof

ing Of the carvings that leave free hardly

walls both inside and out, the Union sta
ton would seem as bare as a New Eng
land meeting house of the Puritan Pc
Rod
There is admiration on the part OF the
many visitors of the magnifcenceypf the Lii
brary building as a fine example OF the style
Of architecture which 1t represents and
q harmonious and well conceived piece
OF composition. But it Is less difficult for
the average person to become vocal about
such a building as its appeal Is frankly
to the taste which Is pleased with color
and ornament That there should ba
appreciation on the part Of the general
public Of a structure that depends upon
the harmony Of its proportions and the
simplicity of it's treatment without orna-
4ment to please the eye and the taste is
an evidence OF an advance in the stand
ards.
But it was not necessary to await the
erection Of the Union station to demon
strate that fact 1t may be traced in the
architecture Of the public buildings erect
ed throughout the country during the
past decade or So The same influence
may also be seen in the structures built
by private enterprise in the cities and the
towns. There is no question about the

Past and Present Styles.
There is long distance in point Of
taste. at least, between the mansard roof
brick house that once sheltered the we'll
TODD families of some years back with
what is regarded today as suitable home
of the same class. Such a comparison
indicates only In general what has taken
place. 1t does not mean that everything

Is ugly and tastelesS that confronts the
eye at every turn.
1t can be asserted. however, that more
attention is now being paid to the design
ing of buildings and that according to the
highest standards an improvement I'm this
respect has taken place. All structures
have more Of what are known as conven-
ienceS than ever before. but 1t can be
said with entire accuracy that such things
do not measure up nor do justice to the
differences between the buildings of today
and those erected decade or ago.

homes and of the business places OF the
present time as compared with what most
people can recall. even those who have
not as yet reached middle life, are likely
to divert attention from what has been
going on. showing the adoption of better
standards of taste in the style and in the
form of buildings.
