Good Money After Bad

From the Green Bag
 II is a curious fact that many men level-headed enough about other things seem to lose their wits entirely when they become envolved in lawsuits. In a case recently concluded in the German courts, a Berlin merchant paid out over S9Gt to recover the value of a five-cent postage stamp. He had written a letter asking for all address and inclosing post age for reply. Failing to get an answer. he sued for the stamp.
 The famous Missouri watermelon case Vas just as trihing and even more dis astrous. The seed was planted on one farm, but the vine crept through a crack in the rail fence and the melon grew on the other side. Both farmers claimed 1t, ard instead of perceivng the humor Of the situation they went 10 ldw. To add to the puzzling features of the question of ownership there was further eompli- cation in that the fence stood on a coun- ty line. whereupon the question of the Jurisdiction of the courts came up. The farmers bankrupted themselves without obtaining a decision as to the owner- slip.

The Student Volunteers Big Year

The Student Volunteer Movement whose report is just out, furnished to missionary societies last year, for ser vice on foreign fields, 36S men and wom- en, who went out under fifty different societies ,. Up to, the beginning of the cal endar year the Volunteers had furnished ASA missionaries to all fields. That Is the record for twenty-five years.
 Getting students in American colleges to form study classes in missions is one way adopted by the Volunteers to spread interest in foreign missions, and secure recruits for fields. Last year 2900o stu dents were enrolled In such classes in 596 institutions, a gain of more than GOOD stu dents over the previous year Getting students in college to give money and in- ducng their friends to give through them. is also a method employed under stimulation of the Volunteers.
 Last year students in American col leges, and their friends acting under their influence, contributed s133,1o0 to foreign fields. No fewer than 1477 institutions gave at least something, and large cen ters of missionary activity like Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton maintain whole stations.
 Half century ago American mission arv leaders had great difficulty inducing governments to so-called heather coun- tries to permit their missionaries to enter Next came difficulty getting men and women willing to go. Lastly, when fields were open and volunteers many, came the problem of financial support. The volunteers, organized by MT. John R. Mott of Northfleld. in 1886, have done much to develop that part of American mission effort in foreign lands which de-

Con- cerning the negro and his problem he believes, he said, that industrial edu- cation is making substantial headwav and that in time 1t will solve the negro problem of America, if it have Christ ianity and white mans sympathy along with 1t. He spoke, he said, as a long time friend of the colored man as he is in the south.
 Concerning laymen and missions he praised the recent movement of laymen for what it did last year in bringing Christian bodies into closer sympathy He is in no position to tell, he said, how much money has been gotten into the treasures of the missionary societies as result of their efforts but he thinks, he said their influence well worth all the movement has cost in time and money to date.
 Lastly, in education, he reported it the part of wisdom to abolish medical and law departments in the University of the south. since older schools. better located, are filling the need. Under it's new plan, with twenty-one dioceses of the south

GOSSIP OF THE THEATRES
By JAMES CIR ANT THURsToN

New York, August 19-(Special.)- )-It is now believed that the prospect of a strike of the vaudeville artists, long threatened, is off Better judgment has prevailed on both sides.
 Heretofore managers of vaudeville houses have had the right to cancel an act after one performance. The White Rats, an organization of actors affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and including 90 per cent of the vaudeville actors of the country, have demanded a contract which provides that if Q man. ager books act he cannot cancel 1t.
 At recent meeting of vaudeville man agers they decided upon what they termed "a pay or play contract This contract will be identical with that of last year, with the modification of a pay or play clause. This clause calls for a two weeks notice of cancellation by either side.
 The managers believe that whie this is not exactly what the White Rats demand ed, yet it Is a good compromise. and ex- pect it will meet with favor on the part of the actors organization.
 The Keiths. Western Vaudeville asso- citation and other big agencies. it is under stood will cooperate with the Vaudeville Managers association in the action taken.
 William Gillette, the noted actor and playright has kept New Workers guessing as to whether or not he would accept the dictatorship of the new New Theatre" He recently returned from Europe and gave a finished impersonation of the Sphinx when the reporters clustered about him.
 That MT. Gillette might have the nirec- torship of the New theatre were he dis posed to take the responsibility upon bis shoulders is almost an established fact. He has been approached on various oc- casions by men conspicuous in the affairs of that institution, and while at Bad Kis- singen this summer Otto Kahn and Paul Crayath held long conference with him about the same matter.
 George M. Conan has selected a namo for his next vehicle as a star. It will be called "The Little Millionaire" and will be an elaborate musical production. For some months MT. Conan has been at work on the piece, and it is now practically fin ished. He has written book. lyrics ana score

Dr Grammar which the Pope makes direct, he states that nothing Is to be expected in finan- cial help from Latin American Catholics. and yet he says that in Rome and at this college must be trained the leaders for South America and the West Indies which the church there stands in so much need.

 The Rev. Dr. Grammar Is professor of sacred Scripture at the Catholic universi- ty, and his fame as Bible student in this country and abroad led to his appoint ment as the American member or the present Catholic Bible commission. The Roman college of Latin America is simi- lar in aims to the American college in Rome, and the Irish, German and others. located near to the Holy See and In the Eternal City to which are sent young men of exceptional promise to be edu- cated for the priesthood. It Is from the ranks of these students that many of the foremost prelates of the church in the respective countries spring.

Severity Justified

From the Schenectady Gazette.
 Ninety days In Jail was the sentence given by a Chicago judge to a scorch- irg chauffeur. who took his employers s automobile without permission for ride end ran 1t at a dangerous speed. One may feel this severe punishment for stch an offcnse, but when the number of lives endangered by this reckless driver is considered, any sane person will ccme to the conclusion that only just sentence vas imposed. The average car owner operates his machine at safe and req sonable speed, and 1t is generally the cnauneur, who has no money invested or direct interests in the automobile, who exceeds. the speed limits and tries to see how fast he can go without a accident. An example should be made cf such persons, and other judges should be just as severe in imposing sentences.

Why Presbyterians Stay Apart


 Presbyterian zeal for numbers over comes weather. and by argument made by mall last spring. there have just been held several informal conferences at as many resorts this summer concerning union between the large Presbyterian bodies north and south. The initiative In these conferences was taken by the northern men. but in all cases they were met in a cordial spirit by the southern men. It was found that the question of the negro played little part, and that the prospect of one Presbyterian body. nar tional in it's constituency and having . membership of 1,7o0,00O, was most attrac- tive.
 From one of the southern eonferees. pastor of one of the largest congrega- tons in a Mississippi Valley state. it Is learned that the northerners were told plainly that separation north and south must continue until heresy cases in New York presbytery, or even the appearances of such cases, come to an end. Particu- larly severe were the southerners upon the teachings of Union Seminary, New York and the questions and answers ad- mttedly given by students of that ;nsti- tuition In the presbyteiy of New York. Until such answers cease to be given. the southerners are reported to have said, union of Presbyterians north and south is impossible

 John W. Considine, the pioneer vaude- vile magnate and the head of the Sul- livan1Consldine circuit. arrived in New
 York Thursday morning and will be with us for about ten days to come.
 MT. Consdine. being a busy man at all times-and not happy unless he is busy will naturally devote some of his so- journ in New York attending to few matters of business but his trip is more
 of pleasure trip than anything else. The bulk of the time will be spent in pleasure seeking MT. Considine ended the rumors that the booking arrangement between his circuit and the Marcus Loow circuit had fallen through by making the emphatic statement that everything had
 been closed before the arrival in New
 York and that the papers of this deal,
 which are thoroughly satisfactory to all,
 will be signed before the close of this
 week. The arrangement will go into effect
 at the beginning of the coming ceason. Another new. link in the already strong
 chain of Sullivan & Considine houses will be added when the Empress theatre, Salt Lake, opens it's doors on September IS.

Ministers to Act for Peace

Ministers of Great Britain, Germany and the United States. who are closely organ ized, and some in France who keep in touch with government, foresaw last spring the possible attitude of the United States Senate toward the world peace treaties and laid plans accordingly. It was an Englishman, the Rev. F. B. May er indorsed in his position by .Ambassa- dor Bryce, who warned American clergy men while here that the Senate would see in the treaties abridgment of It's own constitutional privileges. He went farther and said certain members would be gov erned, not by jealousy for the Senate. but by Influence of manufacturers, and others whose interests demand the continuation of war.
 TO help President Taft and Secretary Knox in getting treaties through, com mittees of about dozen religious organ izations in the United States are ready to amalgamate into one big movement English clergymen are keeping out now, but will do what they can later OH, Amer ican cIergymen leading. German clergy come in by the way of council that Is federated with the British.
