| New York May 26.-(Special. )-Much
 to the surprise of theatrical men, Mayor Gaynor vetoed the Sullivan senate bill
 which gave theatre owners the right of appeal in cases where the police department refused to license the
 atre. The mayor Is noted for his lib-
 eral views respecting amusements and sports. An explanation of the affair
 follows:
 There Is really no necessity for this bill to prevent injustice. If the police | commissioner does not do what is right and fairly liberal the mayor can all ways be appealed to- On the hearing those who appeared in favor of this l bill were unable to cite any case in
 which injustice had been done In any
 way of refusing or revoking licenses to | theatres.
 Tt Is necessary that the authorities
 be able to deal with the matter with out delay. To allow a certiorari would l be to introduce long g-drawn-out legal
 procedure, with stays and appeals. The present system has worked without In | justice and will no doubt continue to
 work without injustice"

John Gaunt has amassed millions on the Congo.
 Lady Mildred Blythe, London beauty and sister to the Earl of Lynton, becomes the wife of Gaunt
 A year of married life and Lady Mildred lies at deaths door. The physician, Sir Felix Hellier, declares science can do no more: The issue is in Gods hands,
 In this extremity Gaunt remembers that he had mother and that his mother had faith in prayer. His worship of Mammon has left him no time to serve another Master; he feels that he has no right to prayer, but being a man of his word, he i feels that he has a right to offer a vow and make a bargain. He vows that if | God will give him the life of his wife he will live the rest of his life in accordance with the teachings of the Great Master. The deliberation of the conduct of a man, no Christian by either choice or con viction, striving to steer the course of his | life in exact accord with the commands of Christ is a representation new in lit- erature. Fearing that his conscience, long silenced and unheeded, may not be trusted as guide to the new life Gaunt employs young divine, Edward Drake late work CT in the East Side parishes, as the keep CT of his uncultured conscience Drake is faithful to the trust. Under his advice Gaunt alines himself with the workers of the Congo Reform association. By nature a leader he becomes at once the fore most man in the work. He not only must denounce his former associates, but the very methods hy which he amassed mil lions in Red Rubber. Exciting times fol- low in England; Belgium is even more dis turbed by his change of front in so marked a man as Gaunt. Conjectures as to the motives of the man are rife, for he lays claim to no conversion, professes no religious convictions. But as the hand of the dyer becomes stained in the me- dium of his use much more does the spirit grow in grace by the practice of and the adherence to good.
