true picture Of modern New York was
averred by Dr. John Henry JoWctt In the
fourteenth annual sermon To the New

revival Of the religion Of the old Puritan
IA Tiers as an antidote TO the materialsm
OF modern life.
What Is the calling Of tire descendants
Of the Puritan fathers in New York to-
day. he asked the pa members Of the
society in the congregation. THE stream
should partakc Of the characteristics OF
the source We should be spiritual as
well a. flesh descendants al the Puritans
I believe sometimes W are more akin
To the cavalier
''If I'VE are true spiritual descendants
we should he men of spiritual vision and
moral leaven. The air Il to-day is heavy
with matorialism. We must pierce IL with
spiritual insight. We must show our fell
low men that we here in New York are
imbued with the same spiritual insight
into and revercnt conception OF the holi-
ness of God"

TWAS NO STOCKING
SNAKE; SHOCKING
Sarah Jones Made No Bones TO
Decline to Hang Ditmarss
Wash on Line.

There will be no wash out on the Dil-
mars line this morning unless six
foot Texas rattlesnake is captured ara
put in a well fastened cage. That was
the ultimatum delivered YESTERDAY 10
the family Of Raymond j. Ditmars'
curator of the New York Geological
Park. by Sarah Jones, who officiatcs
every Monday at the tubs on the Dit
mars premises in Scarsdale.
Miss Jones walked into the WASH
house. which is beneath the curators
studio. Yesterday morning, AND then
she walked-or. correctly speaking
leaped--out again, when she saw hang
ing from a rafter a Texas rattler.
What she said to the Ditmars fam
ily Immediately afterward the curator
could not exactly recall yesterday al
ternoon. when seen in his office in the
REPTILE house in the New York Zoology
cal Park: but he remembered this much
because it stood out more prominently
than the rest:
They amt goin' to be no washin TO-
morrow unless that snake am caught.
Use gittin' tired er all these circus ami
mails. anyhow"
And with that Miss Jones took up
other duties.
According to the curator the rattler
is one Of the actors he has recently
been making moving picture films vi,
and on Saturday night he showed a
large audience of school children at 'hc
American Museum Of Natural History
realistic motion pictures of the reptile
in question. But he didn't say any
thing about it's escape. He told about
il yesterday.

morning." asserted the curator, but ]
forgot all about ii until the wash
woman saw it yesterday. Yes, it's poi

thought perhaps I'd run across it soon.
