at the ight.

London, June 14-Largely because
of the meddling of royalty, a reconcil-
iation between the Duke of Marlbor
ough and his American wife, which
was at one time confidently expected
by friends OF both, now seems hope
less. The royal persons whose inter
ference has thus widened the breach
are none other than Queen Mary of
England and the dowager queen Alex
andra
The dowager's sympathies have al
ways been with Vhe duchess, but, ow-
ing to the rule which prevailed in the
English court during the reign of
King Edward that separated couples
must be excluded from the royal cir
Gle. she could not publicly show her
feeling The rule which thus shut the
unfortunate duchess out of all court
functions completely eclipsed her So
cial career. Her magnificent London
house was converted into a headquar-
tiers for philanthropic schemes.
Until quite recently It was believed
that Queen Mary, too, sympathized
with the duchess. Late events, how
ever, have shown that she has been

completely won over by the dissipated
and heart-broken old aristocrat who
dwells at Blenheim amid the splendor
which the Vanderbilt millions made
possible Winston Churchhill, cousin
of the duke, and acting for him, is
said TO have been the one TO play sue
cessfully upon the sympathies of the
queen.
So complete has been his conquest
of the queen, and, incidentally, the
king, that upon Churchins pleading
the barriers that excluded separated
people from the immediate presence
Of the soyereigns have been lowered
for the special benefit of the duke. At
the recent naval review off Weymouth
the duke was the guest OF his cousin,
who Is lord of the admiralty, on the
yacht Enchantress and was actually
one of the guests Of the king at dinner
The course taken by the queen has
enraged Alexandra. The older and
younger generations Of the English
royal family, which have not been
any too friendly OF late, are now far
Their apart than ever. The dOwager
has announced 10 her friends that she
will take the first opportunity Of in.

NEW YORKS FIRST CHURCH.
And the Earliest Religious Services on
Manhattan Island.

Manhattan island.
The first religious service on Man
haitian Island was held in 1923. This
resulted in the organization of a
church, the services of which were
held in the upper story of mill which
ground the grain Of the cOlonists. The
first minister was Jonas Michaelius
and the first elder Peter Minuit. direc-
tor general of New Netherland.
The first church building on Manhat-
tan Island was situated on Pearl street.

facing the East river. This structure
was a poor. plain building of wood
and constructed in 1893 by the West
India company. Its congregation was
presided over by Dominic BOGardus,
the second clergyman of New AmsteI-
dam, and was regarded as a more fit
ting place than the loft of the mill for
public worship.
William Keith, director general OF the
West India company. caused to be
erected a church outside of Fort Am
sterdam, which contained three long.
narrow windows on each side. fitted
with small panes of glass set in lead.
on which were burned the coats of
arms Of the chief parishiOners. This
building was erected in the meadow OF

lane. now called Exchange place. In

The Bryan Indictment.

The strongest indictment ever brought against the democratic party has been brought by William J. Bry- an
 In a speech in Salt Lake the other day the Peerless Pettifogger says he believes he would have been elected president if it had rot been for the financial interests.
 That means. of course. number of democrats sufficient to defeat Bryan were bought up by the repub- Iicans.
 In the last campaign Mr. Bryan failed of the presidency by almost 1.3OO.0O0 votes Then if the charge of the distinguished son of Nebras- ka be true, about 65o,ooo men who. otherwise would have voted the de mocratic ticket, were hired to vote the republican ticket.
 There probably is not a republi- can in Arizona who ever said any thing half so mean about the demo crats as that.
 In 1908 MT Bryan received 6.40o.- 900 democratic votes. Then if the wicked republicans bought 6ao,ooo they bought more than one-tenth of all the democrats In other words MT Bryan goes on record as saying that atgleast ten per cent of his party was bought and paid for at the last na titalal election.
 If Bryan is right, the democratic party is a mighty good party to get out of MT Bryan is doing an in- jlsJice to. himself by casting his po- IRieal fortunes with men who keep .tbeir votes displayed on the bargain counter
 But of course if MT Bryan does conclude to save his tender young morals by cutting loose from the de mocratic aggrega ton. the republicans couldn't adopt him. The republican party has no use for the variegated notions that have sprung from the Nebraskans giant intellect. How ever, MT. Bryan might go to the SO cialists. He ought to fit in admirably with that party's collection of econo- mists
