From the London Chronicle.
The tale of Mr.. Gladstone and the bibu-

was once liquor called bishop. Boswell

Langton straight from the tavern) and

with them to Covent Garden. They had a

From Puck.
Kill the umpire yelled the anarchist

"Oh. no." said the radical base ball
fan. Il can understand your feelings
exactly. but. besides being morally
wrong to kill him, 1t would do absolutely
no good. I have a much better way.
My way would be to recall the umpire"
Come. come, said the conservative
base ball fan. You are quite as much
in error as your more violent brother.
You must remember that an umpire is
Judge. 1t is not fitting that judges
should be recalled. Judges are more

South of Biskra there Is always
trouble to be had for the seeking:
south of Briska there Is never peace.
A guerilla warfare Is waged peren-

the advance agents Of civilization, as
personifed by the reckless French

military expeditions set out from the
oasis of Biskra to penetrate the will

Timbuctoo or along the proposed

march are traced in red upon the

and his belongings about the cushions
of the first-class compartment which
he occupied in solitary grandeur.
O'Rourke had no intention of leay-
ing anything undone that might tend
to mitigate the terrors of the journey.
Five days had elapsed since that
morning in the oasis. In the interval
he had again dared the danger of the
desert, returning to Biskra alone by a
route more direct than that which had
brought him up with the flying col
umn. Discharging the guide with a
gratuity larger than his ebbing means
warranted, he had proceeded to e.

UNDERWORLD OF WASHINGTON
Theme of illustrated Sermon by Rev
Zed II. Copp.

Needs of Washington's Underworld"
was the theme Of an illustrated sermon
by Rev. Zed H. Copp at the Pastime
Theater yesterday. Motion pictures were
shown which were said to portray the
underworld as it existed in the time OF
Christ.
Mr.. Copp said Washington's under
world consisted Of five classes: Fallen
women, young girls on the Avenue at
night mixed crowds in drinking places,
joy riders and mission "bums."
For the fallen women he would have
immediate deportation under penalty and
a course of education for every male
child so that he would consider moral
purity the greatest virtue in the world.
For the young girls on the. Avenue at
night he advised strict police supervision
and closing the "so-called hotels catering
to questionable transient traffic" He
would prevent mixed crowds In drinking
places by law. and for mission buns he
advocated "rogues' gallery"
Mr.. Copp thought the joy rider and
every other seeker after pleasure not in
itself harmful could be immensely bene-
fitted by organizing a pleasure insurance
company which would give to its men,
bers, upon payment of dues, certain
privileges which they desired and could
not otherwise obtain.
What saved Mary Magdalene." said

BRIEF FOR LOR|MER
FILED BY COUNSEL
Statement Given to Committee
Denies Proof of a Cor
ruption Fund.

A brief summing up arguments on the
facts in the investigation of Senator
Lorimer's election was filed with the
Senate investigation committee today by
Mr.. Lorimer's counsel. 1t declares that
no proof has been given either of the
raising or expenditure of any corruption
fund for the election, and that 1.-The
charges are the outgrowth Of the de-
termination Of the Chicago Tribune and
its allies to destroy Senator Lorimer,
politically and otherwise
The brief. which supplants brief on
the legal points filed recently, contends
that there have been no written speci-
fications Of charges nor anything re-
sembling a declaration or indictment
filed with the Senate or the Investigate
ing committee and that no one has
ally guilty Of employing corrupt meth
DDS.
1t says the basis Of the charges against
him, though Intangible and trresponsibly
made, Is that votes were so cast as the
result Of the bribery of the members cast
ing them Four votes were attacked by
the opposition to Senator LOrimer, those
OF Charles A. White, who furnished the
Chicago Tribune with a story that he had
~ n bribed for 81 OOO to vote for Lorimer;
H. !. G. Beckemeyer, indicted by the
Cook county grand jury on other matters
than the Lorimer case; Michael Link and
Daniel W. Holstlaw, all four members of
the Illinois legislature. The brief holds
that the testimony of the four is not
worthy Of belief.

Mexico has gone through would not
only be disastrous to Mexico, but to
all foreign investments in that country;
but since the President of the United
States has taken a determined stand,
sanctioned by our Congress, to prevent
the shipment of arms and munitions of
war from the United States to Mexico
to the ambitious adventurers that be-
lieve in nothing but revolution and are
not supporters of good government, I
feel certain the present revolt will be
stamped out and an end put to the
skirmishing bands in that country.
ut is unfortunate for the American
people and the other foreign investors
in Mexico as well as an injustice to the
Mexican government that so many men
reporting from that country give to the
American press SO much exaggerated, I'M
reliable news.
such news is damaging to the hundreds
of millions that Americans have invest
ed in that country. The Mexican people
are not all butchers I personally know
there are hundreds Of thousands of good,
honest, God-fearing people in that coun-
try. as good as can be found in any
