HATS BLOCK CHURCH AIsLES.
Two London Edifces Face Big
Millinery Problem.

London, Nov. l9-The London churches
are suffering because of the big hat
craze AS most of the churches are very
old The aisles are narrow. and when
people commence TO pass slowly out after
tie service is ended the trout e begins.
Really only one hat of the present pop
ular size can tit into the aisle at a time.
and when the owners Of several try TO
walk along close behind or beside one
another the effect is disastrous to the
hats. to the eyes Of unfortunate men
who have no barbados on their heads TO
protect them, and 10 the tempers OF the
women themselves.
Recently there have been number of
very unpleasant scenes when exasperated
ladies quite forgot their eqaaIly large
HATED neghhors for damaging their
cherished millinery. At fashionable
wedding the other day it actually re-
quired male assistance TO disentangle
three ladies who literally could not
break away from each other without
crushing their hats.

JOKES ABOUT OUR TONGUE.
Foreigner Finds Some Stumbling
Blocks in English.

London. Nov. 19.-Forelgners have ever
been fond of making jokes about the pc
culiarities of the English language
Frenchmen in particular boast that their
language, unlike ours. is spelled as it is
pronounced. But they. too have diff
culties of their own. an amusing example
OF which is given in the "Semaine Lit

word 'garde-malade' sick nurse. he
written?
\ society Of nurses in Paris wanted TO
know how in its advertisements It might
reconcile good sense with grammar. The
committee at first wrote garde-malades,
thereby apparently conforming TO reason
il perceived, however. that the singular
might imply the existence Of only one
nurse in the whole Adjustment
Then, sacrificing logic to fact, il wrote
gsrdes- malade. This solution presented
another difficulty for a punctllious gram
marian might discover that according 10
the rules OF the society several .nurses
were indispensable TO a single patient A
third eXpedient was then considered and
gardes-malades was written. This was
another danger, for with this spelling it
might appear that all the nurses on the
star were themselves bedridden In the
end, however, this last spelling has been

MAY TOLERATE CREMATION.
Holy See Said to He Considering
Change In Law.

Paris, Nov IN Jean de BOnnefon'
who writes with authority on Vatican
matters. states in the Paris Journal that
the Pope is preparing a decree authoriz-
ing cremation.
In 1892 cremation was forbidden abso-
lutely in the Roman Catholic Church. but
three years later the edict was modified
somewhat and cremation was in a meas
ure tolerated.
This resulted in considerable confusion,
cremation being permitted in certain do
ceses and not in others. IN France, for
instance. the bishops resolutely set their
faces against IT, but particularly In
America and Germany there was more
tolerance, In Portugal one of the first
acts of the new republican, government
was 10 authorize cremation, which the
Braganzas had refused 10 permit.

night The Gait KiItie Band played Aud
Lang Syne. and the twenty-sixth annual
show OF the National Horse Show Asso-
citation OF America became history, IL
has been Il most successful show in every
way The attendance was larger than Il
has been for many years. II was patron
tied well by members Of the social set.
By Inhabitants OF other cities. and by
horse lovers all over this continent and
Europe
From horse standpoint the SHOW was
the best ever held in this or any other
country. There were more than LOO en-
tries in the ISL classes for which prizes
were offered. and it is the opinion OF
horsemen from both sides Of the Atlantic
that il would be impossible 10 get to-
gether a more representative collection OF
stars of the equestrian world.
4 big feature OF the show was the
competitions in which the army officers
Of England, France, Holland. Canada.
and the United States took part. There
we're six OF these events, four for jumpers
and two for chargers. and in these the
Englishmen had q wonderful run of sue
cess. They captured in all twelve rib
bons-four first. three seconds, three
thirds. and two fOuTths-and were beaten
only IN the class for lightweight chargers
and for the jumping events in which the
contestants rode in pairs.
Riding Is Chief Factor.
They brought with them some remark
ably good jumpers. but it was more the
riding OF the men that carried them 10
victory than anything else They rode
with dash and vim. caught the popular
eye as soon as they made their first APP
pearance, and were favorites all the week
The United States officers won five rib
bons. one first. one second. and three
fourths The event they won Was for
the lght-weisht chargers The horses
shown for the United States were a
remarkably good looking lot but had
not been schooled as carefully as the
/ foreign horses and were not as clever
jumpers.
The performance OF the Canadian horses
/ in these events was a big disappointment

{ by their successes in the hunting and

In the morning and afternoon the boxes
were chiefly occupied by the younger

Blair OF the New Jersey supreme court
in dispOsing OF the case so far as that
