SECRETARY BRYAN
DENOUNCES JINGOISM.

Secretary Of States Bryan denun-
citation Of jingoism is just. 1t is =:
rcbuke to the many thoughtless
people Of all nations who talk of wa.
with as little realization Of its ter.
rible import as if they were anticipa-
ting the pleasures and excitment to
an excursion.
A cartoonist has pictured the mobi-
LIKED army as a serpent of brilliant
colors, but armed with deadly sting,
While we have but little faith in the
modern movements, launched by
well-meaning people, for the purpose
of preventing conflicts in future, we
realize the fact that sensible diplo-
macy often casts oil upon troubled
waters 'smd clears the atmosphere OF
sanguinary purposes and silenccs the
thoughtless who desire to see car
mage on every little issue raised be-
tween nations.
During the civil war an incident
occurred on a railway train which
can be retold. A government con-
tractor, encased in fine overcoat,
was engaged in a conversation with
a travelling acquaintance. Their talk
was mainly on the chances of the
war being brought to close. The
contractor, among other things said
signifcd his desire for the conflict tc
continue at least year longer, as
by that time he would have amasse9
a competence to keep him for life.
At this stage of the conversation
a woman, thinly clad, approached
and directing her conversation to
the contractor said: 81 heard yoc
imply that you desire the war to con
tinue another year. Phave lost tw'
sons in this struggle, and, in SYM
pathy with every mother VINO has
son in the army, I hope it will eng
today"
The vigorous denunciation of I
Subsidized patriotism which seeks t
create war because of the profits il
armor plate and battleships" which
marked an address by Secrctar!
Bryan yesterday at Hague anniver
sary meeting, under the auspices o
the Washington Peace Society, st tn
First Congregational Church was
published throughout the country.
"War is in the interest of fey
people, not of ALL" Mr.. Bryan dc
5clarcd. "The PROFITS are garnere'
by few, while the masses pay tn
taxes. A few men gain glory, wnil
the mothers of the nations furnis
the sons who make food for battle
fields. War rests upon feeling, no
upon necessity.
"Back of much of the furore TO
war is selfish interest in the manu-
facturc of battlcshipS. And Their
are men SO unpatriotic that tacy tr
to stir up trouble in another countr
against their own so as to make pei
sonal profit therefrom. Is there an
hascr use for money!"

THE MOON.

THE MOON.
The moon looks down on this world
of men with its wars and strife,
And he doesn't envy their petty plots
and their happy ways of life,
He's happy and free in ms boundless
course through unknown skies.
And he hates the Earth with its fol
lies, foibles and froth and lies.
So the old moon winks his eye and
keeps Sill tongue in his head.
His life is like an open book, by
all men it is read,
He goes his way so bod and free:
adventures for to seek,
He runs his course without remorse
and gets full each fourth week
With the unsettled japanese situa-
ton and Gandil and Foster both out
of the game, a fellow keeps worried
all the time.
Of coure, we don't begrudge the
farmers the rain they needed so
badly, but this sunshine comes prd-
ty near being good for what ails
you.
Polly put the kettle on,and We'll have
tea,
I'll tell you the news I know ard
you'll tell me,
Well gossip bout our neighJors, on
how happy we shall be,
Sc put the kettle on, dear Poll, ar6
brew some tea.

PARALYZED At
. CHURCH, SHE
PRAYS ALL DAY
Seamstress Faint With Hunger
When Her Plight Is Discovered
by Other Worshipers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Hannah
Moran. seamstress, so years old,
with no relatives in this country,
went from her little furnished room
at No. SOL West Thirtieth street to
the Church of st. John the Baptist
shortly before 7 o'clock in the morn
ing to begin her day with religious
devotion, as she always had done.
Soon after she knelt in pew she
was stricken with paralysis. AL
though she could not rise, she did not
summon aid. Instead she continued
with her beads and her prayers.
Brothr Anselm, in charge of the
sacristy. saw her when she entered,
saw her at 10 o'clock and left her
there at noon. When he returned
later in the afternoon she was still
praying there. He thought. she had
gone out in the meantime and had
returned. The church is always open
in the daytime and many come to
pray. some of them for hours
Brother V. p Martin addressed the
Third Order OF the ST. Rose Society
in the church at night on the feast of
st. Martin.
When the services were ended at 9
o'clock some of the hundreds of wom-
en- present saw Hannah Moran still
trying to pray. but very weak They
spoke to her and then spoke to Broth
err Martin. He found she was faint
from hunger. Food was brought from
the rectory and then an ambulance
was called from the New York Hos
pital
Miss Moran told an ambulance sur
geon that she felt the sharp pains in
her legs soon after she knelt. When
she tried to arise she could not. Be
lieving that prayer would help her.
she had returned to her devotions
and had continued them for fourteen
hours, until hunger and weakness had
compelled her to reveal her condition
to the women OF the society who had
questioned her.

Mrs. AIonzo Thompson Tells How
WiIes of Fortune Teller Led to
Desertion of Her and Son.

DENVER, Nov. 15.-Mrs. AlonZo
Thompson, widow of the millionaire
Alonzo Thompson. who
died several months ago, now tells
for the first time the circumstances
which led up TO the desertion of her
self and her son. She informed City
Attorney Stevens. who is conducting
campaign to drive the fortune tell
ers out of business. that her husband
had been the victim of woman who
claimed the spiritual power professed
by the so-called clairvoyants, psychic
advisers and trance artists.
II and my son have been the ones
who have suffered from the decep-
ton of these people, said Mrs.
Thompson.
Il tried hard to coincide with the
views of my husband. who placed
great credence in the powers pro-
fessed by this woman. endeavored
to prove to myself that her powers
were real, but / couldn't bring myself
to the point of believing, and finally
there came day when Mr.. Thomp-
sun anu my sell ndu oil ullutl > tahd :

Dependent on Friends.
1--WE decided that he was to accept
his belief and l was to hold mine.
Then came the crisis. He began to
drift more and more under the in
fiuence of this woman.
Finally on the advice of the
psychic adviser, Mr.. Thompson with
drew his deposits from the banks.
He had always been good hus-
band, but when he withdrew his bank
deposits he left our son and me with
out funds and dependent upon friends
"One thing led to another and after
short while. when his brain had
been clouded by the advice offered by
the psychic adviser, Mr.. Thompson re-
quested that | secure a divorce, but
refused Finally. through need OF
funds, | was forced to take some &C
ton against him, but he was out OF

powers of this woman psychic ad-

vantage in other lines of astronomical
investigation. AS yet we have no evil
dence that people do exist on Mars"
Lack Evidence Of Life.
In line with this theory, Professor
Edward Pickering says:
No astronomer in good standing
to-day believes that we have enough
evidence to warrant the theory of life
on Mars,
"The Harvard Observatory makes
no observations of Mars. At the In
ternational Conference of the Solar
Union at Bonn, last summer where
large body of the greatest astrono-
mers gathered, no paper was read
upon the subject of Mars; it's surface
was not officially mentioned at any of
the meetings and the theory of life
on the planet, If referred to at all.
was spoken Of only in joking way.
Professor Lowell has obtained ex-
cellent data at Flagstaff, but the facts
that he has learned there do not war
rant him In the theories which he ad-
vocates. His judgment is in error. He
uses his imagination too freely in his
deductions
Errors Are Easy.
AT the Mount Wilson Observatory,
Pasadena, Cal, the workers have not
discovered the canals which Professor
Lowell ascribes to the surface of Mars
and at Mount Wilson the work is car
ried on with 60-inch telescope aper-
ture under the most favorable condi-
tions, while the telescope at Flagstaff
has only a 24-inch aperture.
ut must be borne in mind that it is
very easy for one looking through a
telescope at Mars to mistake a series
of light points for surface markings
"As to the idea of signaling Mars,
as one astronomer says: There may
be field of cabbage on Mars, but
what good would it do to signal a
field of cabbage?"
Professor Lowell's idea concerning
the data made relative 10 life on Mars
is exactly at variance with the idea
Of Professor Pickering.
Grounds of Proof.
He says the proof of the habitation
of Mars has two parts;
l. The trustworthiness of the OBJ
servations, and,
2. The Flagstaff theory that ex-
plains them.
$50 unanswerable has proved the
latter" he says, that those who
would disbelieve it have been forced
to denyNthe geometric character Of
been confirmed by all those who have
made serious and special study of the
planet, from Schiaparelli, the first
astronomer of his day down to the
most recent ones by NJ. Jarry-Des-
loges.
The critics have been star workers
and sun workers, but not planetary
workers, and to ask their opinion on
such a subject would be like asking
a surgeon about bacteriology.
"The arguments as to the habitation
of the planet are, given in my book
and can be judged by anybody who
reads them.
"As to my using my imagination
in reaching my conclusions, have
been extremely careful to do nothing
OF the sort.
"A European astronomer, larry
Desloges, who has built observatories
in many places and at great expense
to obtain the very best working con-
ditions, has made drawings of the
planets surface which look like alb
solute replicaS of ours. and I do not
know either Of these~men, and have
never correspondent with them"

Ever Sleep in Church?
Yes? There's Reason
It's the Color Scheme Behind the
Pulpit That Gives tho
Drowsy Feeling.

DAYTON, OHIO, Nov. 1o.-No
longer need the preacher feel offended
IL one of his congregation goes to
sleep during services. 1t is not the
dryness of the sermon that does 1t.
The cause extends back of the pull
pit--a few feet at least-accOrding
to the Religious Telescope, official
organ of the United Brethren de-
nomination. "Slecpiness in church is
due to the color scheme back of the
pulpit" says the paper.
Dull colors prevail, especially dull
brown and brown is said to be very
soporific.
IF worshiper shuts his eyes
against it he can keep awake. but if
he keeps his eyes fixed upon it he
will go to sleep"
