PREACHER. ATTACKS KING OF ENGLAND
Bitter Controversy Over Vi- visection-Coast De-
 fense Improved

London, July 23.-A most remarkable attack was made on the King, charG- ing his majesty with exaggerating the military aspect of the coronation, by the Rev. Harry Youden the clergyman who occupies the pulpit from which pr. Aked, since of New York and San Francisco formerly preached in Liverpool.
 The attack took the form of an open letter read in the course of a sermon. It began as follows: I've owe you no loyalty except so far as the welfare of the nation depends on you. If we are cold amid the general excitement of your coronation day, it is because we are not convinced that the greatest duty of the nation is bound up with the throne We are not revolutionaries. There are graver matters to attend to than the absurdity | of royal ceremonies. I have said this | much for the sake of sincerity, and that l might clear myself of the company of | those who are now grovelling before you and behaving like pagans before a. fetish"
 Then the letter goes on: would it make your coronation less real if you were accompanied to the abbey by men from the forge and the mine instead of by troops? Although you choose to live for the world of soldiery. not by them Is your throne supported. It is open to you to be patron of the arts. You have bestowed honors which we at present despise because they have been wrongly bestowed Meanwhile genius Is starving in its garret-starving unrecog- nized. Painters, singers. writers, actors, men of science, have to sell their souls to make a living. Nothing, sir, in your empire is so cheap as brains and genius; nothing so easily despised by the vulgar rich; nothing so tragically misunderstood and disregarded. You patronize the turf and stimulate the multitude to gamble on horses they never see. Your private tastes are not my concern: but if you are the head of this nation you must make yourself acquainted with more than it's jockeys. The glory of kings in the past has been too much the glory of the sword and conquest. There is a greater glory within your reach, if you have courage and discernment'

The bitter controversy which has ragged so long between antivivisectiou~ ists and scientists has reached a fur ther stage through the firm attitude of Lord Cromer, who is president of the Research Defence society, in de- clining to resign the vice presidency of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. His holding of of flee in the two societies was declared inconsistent by resolution of small majority at a meeting of the latter so- ciety.
 Lord Cromer, in reply. declared thet the magnificent results achieved by the experimental method in the direction of saving the lives and preserving the health of human beings and of animals had been proved conclusively. He con-
 sidered it a calumny to accuse the
 members of profession whose main
 work in life was to relieve suffering of being indifferent to the sufferings of others, whether man or brute. Facts were distorted in order to hold up an
 uninformed public. During their ex-
 periments pain was probably not alto gether absent, but it was reduced to a
 minimum. His duty and that of the Research Defence society he regarded
 as clearly to offer a strenuous opposi ton to any measures which would re tard the advance of knowledge.
 A notable accession to the strength of the auxiliary coast defense forces
 of Great Britain has just been made by the admiralty. It takes the shape of a new class of naval reservist ts formed of the shippers of fishing traw'-
 CTS, who are to be employed in times
 of naval hostilities in searching the shallow waters In the vicinity of the ports and of fleets at anchor for mines 1 The total of this reserve has been fixed for the present at 300, but it is ex- pected that during wartime the figure would be greatly extended. The men are thoroughly acquainted with the coasts around the British islands, and | they are to receive a short annual training in their duties of mine-sweep- | ing. Otherwise they are to be regarded as a non -comba tant force.

Constantinople Turkey, July 23.- During festivities this afternoon in celebration of the anniversary of the granting of the new constitution, fire broke out in Stamboul, near the war ministry, which narrowly escaped de . struction. A violent north wind famed the blaze, which swept over a residen- tial district, levelling several hundred houses. These were chiefly in the Turkish quarter in the vicinity of the Suleimaniyeh mosque.
 Late tonight the fire is stiu burning fiercely and the plight of the inhabi . tants is pitiable.
 Several persons were injured. includ- ing former Minister of War Mahmout Sch elk el Pasha. Rumors are current that the fire was of incendiary origin.
 Stamboul covers the whole area en- closed by the Theodosian walls of Con- stantinople. It is the Mohammedian n part of the city, Within its walls are the Seraglio, the principal mosques. the mausoleums of the Sultans, the baths, the baseaars, the public officers of the government and the remains of ancient Constantinople.

The man who tells YOU he will meet
YOU mt a certain hour and is not there,
will see you next day with a blank ct
Of finely woven excuses which would
do Justice to an attorney attem ptin &
to get new trial.
The man who never does" is usu-
ally busy telling folks why he didn't.
He cvades direct answers. just as he
does direct action. He is always
going to do something" but never
gets around to it. He comes into the
cafe in the evening and talks for the
benefit Of his friends and the stra ng-
ers at other tables. In the world OF
excuses" he is a big man. but no
ono can place finger on anything
he has actually done.
If he is discharged from his job,
which. Of course. he always is. he
knows that someone chad it in for
him" and that his discharge is the re-
suit Of conspiracy on the part OF n
few head men who We're afraid or

would neglect SO many important or
little things that the business boat
would be sent ashore on the rocks
and the pieces picked up from the

he is supposed to be. The world has
no use for such a man and he is only

sand Your Track

You've struck pretty lively gait.
You're quite sport. young fellow
But don't you snap at every bait
LIES not all sweet and mellow!
Don't travel at too fast pace,
AS onward you are gliding;
The swift don't always win the race
just sand your tracks-you re
sliding!
You've whooped it up from morn till
night.
And then from night till morning:
You've burned your candle till the
light
Is dm---so heed the warning.
You'd better ease yourself bit,
Until things are subsiding:
You're heading for the devils pit.
So sand your tracks-you're sliding!
oh. yes good fellows" like you well,
Because your style is breezy;
But recoIlect that they will tell
Your friends that you are easy"
What if against yon wall ahead
You'd chance to be collding?
They'd pick you up, perhaps stone
dead.
So sand your racks--tyou're sliding.
You can't tobaggon at that rate
without something occurring.
Put on the brakes ere it's too late,
Or there'll be something stirring
You're on the downward track, young
chap,
Toward Hades you are riding.
And ere you meet with dire mishap,
Quick, Sand your tracks! You're
sliding.

STORY OF A STREET

A street is but a thoroughfare
With houses rising here and there,
And creaking signs and swaying
doors;
A street is but way that goes
And rumbled rows Of shops and
Where no one cares and no one
knows.
And where folk hurry, straight or
bowed,
street is but narrow place
Where we meet strangers face to face,
Where people babble of the news,
What time each one his hope pursues
One street--another-al the same
Save for the width or kind or name
A million streets there are and more
That lie between the house and store.
Yet did we know the folk we see
How different each street would he.
One hurrics by and huns a song
One shuffles past with curses strong,
One strolls all leisurely of gait
AS though he babe the world to wait
Another PUSHES, with a grim,
Tense fear upon the face Of him.
And women. too-one old and weak
One bold, and one all shy and meek,
And one whose face with rapture
beams
Because she walks amid her drea ms;
And little children laugh and call,
Their play-songS echo over all
There goes bridal coach and there
A hearse creeps with some ones de-
spair.
Why, bless us, it is but street
That mutterS of the tramping feet
4 place, way, a common path
And vet it tells of JOY and wrath
And failure, and of happiness,
OF woe. and of some ones success.
All, did We know of all We see,
How different each treet might be,
