POOR HANDWRITING
NOT ALWAYS HANDICAP
Sheridan, Lord Curzon, and Other
Celebrities Throve in Spite
of H.

Sheridan's writing was a scandal to his
school and puzzled the town. He once
wrote a pass to Drury Lane and the
doorkeeper stopped its bearer and imme-
diately pronounced il TO be a forgery, be-
cause he could not decipher it! To make
matters worse, Sheridan was also uncer-
tain in his spelling. A which" where, -
and a whether in his hands, for in

The atrocious writing OF celebrities re-
calls the claim once made on behalf OF
Baron Bramwell that he wrote three
hands: "One which he alone could read,
another which his clerk could read. and
he couldn't, and a third which nobody
could read" and the last named was his
usual STYLE
Lord Curzon. when a young man at col
lege, once found his bad writing stand
him in good stead. Writing two letters,
one to a relative, the ether to a chum,
he enclosed them in the wrong envelopes.
1t chanced that in the second letter he
had made some uncomplimentary refer
ence to his relative. and on discovering
the mistake he had made he awaited de-
velopments with anxiety. There present

Bad handwriting is not always a handi-
cap in life. The late Lord Goschen once
said that his father attributed the foun-
dations of his fortune to the fact that
he was obliged to found a firm because
he wrote such a bad hand that no one
would take him for clerk. OF Goschen
himself, Mr.. Arthur Elliot records that
his handwriting got steadily worse, and
in his latter years he might have spelt
as he chose. At length his script became
even by himself. He
could not, when speaking in Parliament,
make out what 1t was that he had put
on paper, and he thus came in later days
to abandon almost entirely his old prac-
tice of making notes"

ROMAN CATHOLIC.

The Vatican is just now busy with re-
ports from the Philippine Islands. These
were made recently at the Vatican's re-
Quest. In them is good deal of infor-
nation about Protestant expansion there
since 1898. Especially impressed is the
Vatican by the growth of the University
of Manila, which has an Episcopal min
lister for its president There are also
full reports of the Y. NJ C. A settle
ment house work near to the university.
This line of work had heretofore escaped
the Vatican's notice in the Philippines or
any other country. The reports also
cover the recent plans of New York wom-
en-, who with 100000 in hand are going
into remote districts under direction of
Bishop Brent Of the Episcopal Church.
Rome newspapers, friendly to the Vati
can, have recently made matters more
intense by asserting that the real purpose
Jof the United States in going into the
Philippines was not to put down Span
Ish power, but land conquest. expansion
of trade, and the Protestant religion. 1t

EPISCOPAL.

One of the live chapels of the diocese
is st. Agnes, Q street, between North
Capitol and First street, of which Rev.
c. w. whitmore is vicar. and Thomas
W. Watson, lay reader. The congregation
of the chapel will hold its annual Sunday
school bazaar in the Sunday school room,
on December 2, 3 and 4. The idea Of hold
\ ing the bazaar at this particular time is
to afford in the first instance an oppor-
tunity for friends of the chapel and Sun
day school to purchase their Christmas
presents, and in the second instance to
help forward the funds needed for the
work of the chapel and Sunday school.
As this chapel is connected with Trinity
parish, in fact, is within the limits of
Trinity parish, nc doubt many of the con-
gregation of Trinity will be on hand.
Trinity Church has another chapel in
which it is interested, known as st.
Matthias Ccolored). located at Fourth
street and New York avenue, which used
to be the headquarters of st. Agnes
Chapel before the congregation migrated
&. to their present position.
Just across the boundary line, between
the District and Maryland, stands the old
church of Broad Creek, where tomorrow
they are to have an all-day service. On
this occasion the church, which has been
closed for nearly a year while undergo
ing repairs, will be reopened. Very many
improvements have been made in this
old historic building, and much credit is
due to the rector, Rev. H. L. Ryerson, for
his faithful and untiring work in this
connection. Bishop Harding is to be
there at the morning service, and no
doubt q congregation will be on hand to
welcome their bishop to witness the many
improvements that have taken place in
the church and to congratulate che rec
tor on the same.
The address of Rev. W. E. Calender,
assistant minister of Ascension Church,
Twelfth street and Massachusetts, avenue,
in the New Berne in Twelfth street, just
across the street from the church, a door
or two away from the rectory. This is
an IDEAL arrangement. Not all our rec
tors and curates can get quite as near
to their parish church as they would wish
to be, but when they can do SO it greatly
minimiZes labor.
