Many Hebrew temples to-day. and
most Christian churches to-mor-
row give themselves to the cclebra-
ton of New York's tercentenary. The
feature Of the day, as far as can now
be seen, will be the alliance of civic
officials with the churches. Governor
Glynn and most members OF the city
government will speak. To an extent
never before known, the political and
the religious will be one for the day.
There will be mass meeting Mt the
Hippodrome in the afternoon, tickets
for which have been distributed
through the churches. The speakers
are Cardinal Farley. Bishop Greer
and the Rev. DR.. II. Pereira Mendes,
representing the great communions
and historic foundations.
Apart from the semi-official cele-
bratiOns, however, churches will have
private ones, chiefly tomorrow eve
ming. At Union Methodist Church, in
4sth ST.. there will be q betterment
peace conference at night, in which
fifty societies, chiefly women, unite.
Speakers will be the Governor of New
York and others. At the Church OF
the Messiah, Park av. and 34th st., the
Free Synagogue and the Church of the
Divine Paternity join, and speakers in
clude Chancellor Brown of New York
University, DR.. Talcott Williams, OF
Columbia, and Oscar s. Straus. At
the West End Presbyterian Church,
Amsterdam av., Congressman Chand-
Ter will speak, and at Grace Metho-
dist Church, near by. will be heard
Borough President Marks.
Interesting features of the day will
be the exhibition Of rare objects OF
art and Of religion belonging to his
toric churches. St. Nicholas Re-
formed Church, the oldest church in
New York; St. Marks in the Bou-
werie; Trinity and st. Paul's Chapel
with st. Peters, in Westchester;
the John Street Methodist, the
mother church of American Method
ism; the Old First Presbyterian
Church, and old st. Peters Catholic
Church, in Barclay ST., will show their
treasures, which are many.
A pamphlet has been prepared
setting forth New York's religious
history IN part, and some important
data concerning present conditions.
These data will be extensively drawn
upon in addresses tomorrow. The
cost to maintain all New York
churches a year has now grown to
s12,O00000, and while the city con-
tains only a twentieth of the popula-
tion of the country, It gives nearly a
fifth of all moneys given by America
to world missions and to benevolence.
This fifth is large sum. since Amer
lea. with New York's help. leads the
world in the first named gifts.
The largest parish churches in the
world are in New York-largest in
membership, in property values, in
annual gifts, in salaries paid to
preachers, in amounts of money given
to others, and in amounts to others
in comparison with sums spent on
local maintenance. Besides there is
building in New York the largest
cathedral in the New World, on a
site second to none anywhere. New
York is the greatest Hebrew centre in
the world, and one of the greatest
Catholic centres.

Royal Authors.

The royalist press of Paris has been
entertaining its readers with an
aesthetic picture of Nicholas ii as a
delicate poet of melancholy, a sort of
Hamlet without the disputed madness,
of course) gently bewailng the cursed
spite that has appointed him to set
right the times that are so very much
out of Joint. His maiesty's poetry, VIC
learn further, is privately published
under a pseudonyme in small editions
for circulation among his closest init
mates only. OF course, this may be
true, but IL suggests rather forcjbiy
the methods by which royal reputs-
tions arc built up. Another royal su-
thor, playwright this time, tx the
King Of Montenegro, whose patriotic
play, "The Empress of the Balkans,
has been published in translation IN
London. Commenting on it, the Lon
don Outlook" says: "The whole has
the merit of being in prose. Tho pre-
vailing temper Of the prose we should
describe as plain and commercially UNI
heated But the play is perfectly read
sble. and there is no reason why 1t
should not be acted"

Joseph Conrad Found.

At the outbreak of the war it became
known that Joseph Conrad had started
for his birthplace in Austrian Poland
only a few days before. According to
a letter from him recently received in
London, he is in Zakopane, a small
health resort in Galicia, far removed
from the field Of hostilities. He is
under the special protection of the
Austrian government, which has prom
ised rot to modest him, although he is
u British subject.

The Norsemen in America.

Get them to read anything. no mat
ter what, if they will only read" Thus
wrote the late Frank Norris many years
ago. In his department, "The Seven
Arts" in puck" Mr.. Huneker takes
the dead novelist's words as his text for
little talk on the good work for music
carried on by the Century Company. II
might be worth his while, it certainly
would be ours, If he took them in their
original meaning in a future number of
the weekly. Do readers Of anything"
proceed to better things? One doubts
it. The lover of literature is born, not
made. He must have in him the root of
the matter, otherwise his progress IS
more than problematical. The publish
ers' modern motto, Fewer and better
books" shows a recognition of this
fact II seeks less indirect, far less
perilous, path by which to seek and de-
velop the true reader who, even though
instinct may help him, needs guidance
nevertheless a good distance along the
path. In one Of his earlier novels
1.-THE Rise Of Silas Lapham Mr.. How
ellis has thrown strong light upon the
aimless cropping of the unlettered in
literature. One of his Boston men at
tempts to start conversation with
reference 60 George Eliot, one of whose
books the girl Is reading at has only
Just got into the Seaside Library" says
she. Here, as so often in Mr.. Howells's
writings, we have the heart of the mat
ter in its shell, neatly cracked for our
consideration.
