ST. SABAS.

: The first order of Christian anchor hes esta blished in Palestine was founded by St. Sabas, whose festival Is celebrated to-day, the anniversary of his death in the year 532. This renowned patriarch of the monks of Palestine came of a wealthy family, but a dispute among relatives about the settlement of an estate so dis gusted him that he forsook the world and entered a monastery. At the age of eighteen he went to Jerusalem, but later sought seclusion in the wilder ness. He made his home in a cave on the top of a mountain. The fame of his holiness spread abroad, and many came to him, desiring to serve God under his direction. He finally who desired ito devote themselves to the praise and service of God without interruption" and gained hundreds of adhercnts Some of the oldest Chris tan rnonasteries in the world, scatter ed in remote places over the deserts of Asia and Africa, were founded by monks who had received inspiration from St. Sabas. In the latter part of his long life St. Sabas was the su- perior-general of all the anchorites of Palestine.

 Everybody worked together and the result was that it took them three weeks to accomplish it. Last night was the time selected for the jollihca- ton. Covers were laid for 25. Toasts were proposed and speeches made to the continued success of the laundry. The big hit of the evening was the an nouncement that a theater party fol- lowed by a supper would be given

DEAN SUMNER OF CHICAGO, S9 YEARS OLD TO-DAY,
 DENOUNCES IDLE RICH

One of the most distinguished of American Anglican clergymen is the Very Rev. Walter Taylor Sumner, dean of the Episcopal cathedral of Ss. Pe- ter and Paul in Chicago. Although still a young man-he will pass his thirty-ninth birthday to-day-Dean Sumner has achieved an international reputation as a fearless, eloquent and progressive religious leader. He has not hesitated to excoriate the rich and fashionable members of his flock, when they seemed in need of it. His work has taken him among the rich est of the rich and the poorest of the poor, and he has frankly admitted that. in the matter of morals. he has not found a great deal to choose be- tween them.
 Dean Sumner was born on Dec. 5, 1874, at Manchester, N. H., and grad uated from Dartmouth College and Western Theological Seminary. He was ordained a deacon of the Protest ant Episcopal church a decade ago, and priest a year later. For seven years he has been the dean of the
 
 ed as superintendent of Episcopal City Missions, director of the Charles Summer Social Settlement, chairman of a lodging house committee and a committee on the unemployed, and in various other capacities that have brought him into personal contact with the ''down-and- outers'' and the poverty-stricken and the shiftless e1e- ments in society.
 Dean Sumner is one of the fore most advocates of a single standard of morals for men and women, and is the author of a pledge for young men which reads as follows:
 Some day expect to marry a girl who is keeping herself pure for me I promise to keep myself pure that ] may not bring to the marriage altal taint or corruption that shall make me unworthy of her"
 We will never approach even the fringe of solving the problem of i'm morality Dean Sumner has said, "un. til we teach our boys what it's conse quences are, and what it's toll is fl babies that are born blind and borr crippled ana insane ana 1nnOcen wives who are made the victims fol life without ever knowing whence thu in1tction came that their husband brought upon them.''
 In denouncing Chicago's idle rich Dean Sumner has charged the wome1 of fashionable society with f'dressin. in an immoral way He adds: e find in their drawing rooms the sam Iirentious. immoral, fantastfcal1y nam ed dances that a re to be seen in tn frankly immoral districts: dance which have been borrowed from al immoral source, and which are stop ped by the police in the dance hall of the poor.''
 "The Church should play it's part il education," declares Dean Sumne, s'It should require health certificate before marriage. It should insis that it's members who gain prof i'm any form from the social evil, or b

Mr. Cottrell has served i'm the Princeton
postofiice for twenty seven years. work
ing his way up from the lowest clerkshp
To the post Of assistant postmaster,
which he filed for nearly a dozen years.
He has borne the heaviest part of the
burden of the Office work and has proved
himself capable. Even his opponents are
willing TO admit his qualifications but
they claim that the promotion Of Cottrell
would be serious blow to the party in
this region. where the people are already
smarting under the action OF the Demo
cratic Board Of Taxation in raising the

for the nomination Of Cottrel lay with

nominee. but Hon is persistent IN his de

President Wilson took the matter i'm hand
himself. since he is thoroughly familiar
with all the circumstances connected with
his former home There is no ground 10
believe that the President is especially
partial to Cottrell through any personal
friendship. for they were not intimate

The opposition will not be satisfied until
a Democrat is appointed. and declare
they are convinced the President does not
