William S. Campbell in the Washington

William s. Campbell in the Washington Post.
 A great deal has been said of late about the miraculous escape of certain persons on board the Titanic. and specii- lation as to why others were not also miraculously saved The Post few days ago quoted a Chicago gentleman who was visiting in Washington as saying: I've are told that the prayer of the righteous man availeth much and it would seem that others should have been saved by a miraculous intervention But the ways of Providence are past finding out, and we can only wonder at the mystery of It all"
 | It is entirely reasonable that such ques- tions should arise. If the Bible is true, and this is the general consensus of opin- ion. then why cannot it's statements be relied on? The scriptures abound with promises of protection to those who de- pend on divine power. There is surely something wrong somewhere. May it not be that the failure lies in not understand
 ing the method by which the promises may be realized?
 Christian Science puts forth the bold proposition that there Is scientific method of determining the existence of-a metaphysical or spiritual law, and it's availability for human needs It Is prov ing its proposition with measure of sue cess that gives assurance of greater things in the future.
 On board the Titanic was Christian

WHAT ARE MIRACLES?
William $. Campbell In The Washington Post

I derstand how I maintained my mental equilibrium under so great a strain.
 That is because they do not understand
 the source of my strength" He added | that this mastery was due entirely to
 his study of Mrs. Eddy's teachings. | One of his first acts after reaching Washington was to purchase a copy of
 the Bible and of Science and Health l with Key to the Scriptures" to re- 1 place those that had been lost. To him these were textbooks on law, not the l law of physics but. the law of meta physics the availability of which he had proved.
 l This officer did not attribute his res cue to miraculous intervention.' He did not believe in miracles in the pop ular acceptation of that term. He be- lieved that the Creator governs His universe by means of law and that it was not necessary for Him to suspend
 his own law in order to manifest His goodness.
 He had acquired some degree of un- | derstanding that there is q law above
 the physical, in other words, the meta
 physical. A superior law always annuls

London. May 1S.-(Special.)-- )--There is great rejoicing among the friends of Lord and Lady Greville over the birth ot an heir to the title. Lady Greville will be remembered in the United States as the wealthy and fascinating Mrs. Kerr of New York city. While she is English born, her residence in the United States during the period of her first marriage brought her closely in touch with Amer ican society, and as she says herself, she is thoroughly Americanized. The Gre villes have one of the oldest titles in England, d fine London mansion, shool- ing box in the north country and grand ,siaoe at Clonlugh, in Westmeath lre- land They have, also, thanks to Lady Grevilles American marriage, we'll filled purse, and they are most hospitable people, To get down to figures. the earl dom is just about 300 years old, and the income of the happy pair runs into six fgures. so the young heir is little per son of no small importance.

Mohammed Ali. brother of the Khedive
 of Egypt. is visiting in the United States. and perhaps a little story about
 years ago when the prince was in Eng
 land. on one of his regular visits, he
 happened to be standing in the Strand just about the time when the theatres co commenced to disgorge their audiences.
 poor young woman. ill-clad and not very attractive, tried to cross the busy street, and narrowly missed the hoofs of the hundreds of passing carriage horses and the wheels of vehicles of ali sorts which jostled each other at ,'Deadman' Corner.' The prince rushed under the horses head, got his clothing torn into shreds. his face cut, his glasses knocked from his eyes and several nasty bruises; but he saved the girl. A dear old lady was one of the many bystanders Nho witnessed the latter part of the rescue. She saw dark-sSinned and
 disheveled figure helping girl to the
 sidewalk. Tears were in her eyes as she
 put her hand into a reticule of the early
 Victorian period. and pulled out a penny.
 wtich she handed to the great-great grandson of The Commander of the
 Faithfui.'s Take this my good man,
 she said. 'fand buy yourself drink Sire an' black or white but it's a brave man yoI are"
 The prince took the penny and he has since ke.t it as sortsof Carnegie hero rr edal. which was certainly conferred with the utmost sincerity.

Naval officers are now required to wear epsulettes and medals on all ceremonial occasions The durbar is responsible for this regulation. It seems that while in India, the King observed that the navy showed up very badly in comparison with the army in the matter of decorations adorning the breasts of her officers. King George caused inquiries to be made; the result showed that the navy had plenty of medals to sport if only given a chance to do SO Hence the new order.
 While the Kings birthday will be cele- brated in London and at all home sta ticns on Friday, June II, throughout the rest of his majestys dominions the off eial birthday will be June 8. Nothing like being king and taking all the birthdays you can lay your hands on.
 Queen Mary intends to go to Germany in July to visit her aunt, the Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelit This fine old lady is just approaching her 90th birthday and they are going to eele- barte it in style.
