Dr. Abbott on Gospels.

As DR.. Lyman Abbott has been credited
for a number of years with speaking and
writing about the Bible in a way to un-
settle some minds, here is his recent
statement as to the Gospels, which is
surely orthodox enough for most in
quiries:
'I regard the four Gospels as authentic
biographies, and no attempt is made to
discriminate between them as historical
documents or to utilize the efforts which
modern scholars have made to distinguish
the sources from which they suppose these
Gospels were composed. The object of
these articles is practical, not scholastic.
The Fourth Gospel, after considerable
study of the question, believe to have
been written by the Apostle John. or by
one or more of his immediate disciples,
acting as an amanuensis or interpreter,
and as probably dating from the close Of
the first century. or at the very latest,
from the first decade Of the second CEN
tury"

National Flag Permitted.

The apostolic delegate to the United
States asked the supreme sacred con-
gregation of the holy office at Rome
whether in the United States national
flag can be permitted in the church dur
ing religious ceremonies and on the oc'
casions Of funerals. After a plenary
meeting Of the cardinals, Cardinal Ram
polio responded:
In view of the consideration set forth
by his most reverend lordship the apos.
tolic delegate In so far as there will be
no disrespect resulting in regard to the
church or the sacred liturgy, there Is nc
objection"
Copies of this letter are to be distrib-
uted among the posts Of the Grand Army
of the Republic. In the Protestant
churches what is now legalized in the
Catholic is frequently done. Ordinarily
the flag would seem to add the reveren'
tial spirit to an occasion.

DUBLIN WELCOMES,
KING And QUEEN
Irish Pleased with the Favor
Shown Them by Rulers.

Dublin, July liking George and Queen
Mary. on board the royal yacht Victoria
and Albert, arrived at Kingstown this
evening. They were accompanied by the
Duke of Connaught, who went aboard
the yacht at Alexandria. The yacht an
chored for the night and the members Of
the royal family remained aboard. There
were thirty warships. in the harbor They
presented. magnificent spectacle, being
the largest fleet ever assembled in Irish
waters.
The breakwater and the landing steps
were thronged with people. giving fore
taste of the hearty welcome that awaits
the royal visitors upon their actual ar
rival in the Emerald Isle. Cheering be-
gan as the yachts drew near to the
shore, and there was a hearty roar as
/ the vessels went to the moorings.
King George went to the bridge OF the
Victoria and Albert and. saluted. Queen
Mary, the Prince Of Wales. and Princess
Victoria stood by his side. The ap-
proaches to Kingstown were choked with
Dublinites for hours previous to the ar
rival of the royal yacht, and half Of the
population of the capital seemed to be at
the harbor to greet the King and Queen,
who could not have been otherwise than
gratified at the warmth Of the reception.
They will land in the morning. and 1t is
expected that the enthusiastic greeting
will be renewed.
Apart from the large number of loyal
lists, the populace generally seems Dent
upon recognizing the compliment implied
by their majesties in choosing Ireland
rather than Scotland Or Wales for their
first postcoronation visit. Many inter
pret the action as the nearest expression
Of sympathy that a constitutional mon
arch is able to make toward their politi-
cal aspiration. While the fact that King
George is the first sovereign in two CEN
turtles whose coronation oath has not
been offensive to Roman Catholics adds
to the favorable disposition of the peo-
pie. there is also human attraction as
well as q warm-hearted desire to show
hospitality to important visitors.
The decorations Of the city are most
effective. and. though they are unlike
those of London, there has been assist
ance from public authorities. and they vie
with the embellishments of the English
capital at coropation time.

that the trail of the conspirators in this
gigantic smuggling was hot, and they
hoped soon to land their game. Mrs.
Jenkins when seen at her home had been
instructed not to talk. She insisted that
her temporary illness in the grand Jury
room was due to the heat and the long
nervous strain, which had left her almost
an invalid She said:

ton asked, no matter how personal ana

gested that 1t would be foolish to pay
duty on costly pearl necklace which
had Just been purchased for her when
ne could get It through the New York
custom-house without paying a cent OF

A Good Roads ArEumen,

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
This famous road between Exeter and
Lincoln, that ranks with waiting street
and Icknield street and other Roman
thoroughfares, may not have been valued
by our rugged ancestors as II is by us.
To them it probably meant forced labor
in gangs under the allen whip OF brawny
soldiers or hireling contractors; It also
meant the consolidation Of Roman
strength and the quickening OF military
strategy. But in so far as this kind Of
treatment goaded the native To- despsrats
resistance, and by diverting energy from
Rome left the empire weak and lvxuri-
GUS at its source. this object lesson OF
the past should yield US q measure Of
pride as we'll Above all things, Il -
a reminder Of the value OF well planned
and well kept communications More
things are wrought by roads than the
man Of peace dreams Of. and no age
should bring this truth homo to US more
than the present.

New York, July 7.-Mrs. Helen Dwelle
Jenkins repeated before the Federal
grand jury to-day the amazing story Of
how the jewels given her by Nathan A.
len, the leather trust millionaire, of
Kenosha, Wis, were smuggled into this
country and subsequently stolen, when
the affections of the elderly Don Juan
grew cold.
The strange tGngle of romance, customs,
frauds, and theft was but half told
when Mrs Jenkins, who had been
griIled for over an hour. suffered a col
lapse. both physically and mental. from
which she did not recover for an hour.
In an effort to prevent publicity and
avoid confusion, the grand jury proceed
ings were adjourned as soon as 1t was
seen that the condition of the interesting
witness was serious, and the grand jury
room was converted into a temporary
hospital.
United States District Attorney Whit
ney, who had been conducting the exam
ination, rushed to the side Of the wit
ness when she tainted and with the aid
of members Of the grand jury placed her
in reclining position
Other members OF the jury scattered
among the offices on the fourth floor in
search of water cracked ice, and towels,
and otherwise conducted themselves like
q squad Of hospital attendants until Mrs.
Jenkins was revived sufaciently to be
formally excused for the day
Later In the day It was announced that
she would be recalled on Monday. and

Meets in Presidents Private office
Over Big Ice Box.
The 100 degrees Of heat that makes the
atmosphere dance on the White House
pavements these days proved too much
for the Cabinet yesterday.
When President Taft went into the
Cabinet room he found the members of
the Cabinet tanning themselves with the
official papers that they had brought to
discuss with him and complaining against
the hardship of listening to affairs of
state in such weather.
The President at once invited them into
his private office, where the temperature
is some fifteen degrees lower, because
of an enormous ice box and refrigerating
system that has been built beneath 1t.
and the Cabinet meeting was held there
with the members sitting around on the
sofas.

PROTEST AGAINST RAISE.
Business Men Attack the Propose
Water Tax increase

Business Men Attack the Proposed
Water Tax Increase.
From present indications, the Commits
sioners have good reason to expect
numerous protests from citizens Of the
District against the proposition to in
crease the water rates. Business men
of Washington said yesterday that there
is no necessity for the move, and they
believe Commissioner Judson is mis-
taken in his reasons for making the rate
higher.
The consensus Of opinion seems to be
that the District has no right to claim
interest from the citizens for the money
expended in building the water works.
Eliminating the interest item, figures
show that the water department runs at
a profit
