WILSON RECEIVES
 MORGAN, TALK OF '1C1NI ION ERIEN DS''

washington, July 3.-AH official Washington. was agog with interest yesterday because J. P. Morgan, hav- ing been a visitor at the White House od1ces for an hour. departed smiling President Wilson told the newspaper correspondents they did rot talk about business and did not talk about sew eral other things, but discussed their s'comnon friends
 The president added that the visit next week of Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile manufactures, and. of the Chicago association Of commerce., had no connection with the visit of MT. Morgan.
 Nevertheless. Washington is excited over the coming of the Wall street lmagnate It is declared that only a few months ago Frank Ysnderlip, president of the National City bank. asked to see President Wilson and was denied the opportunity that one pr two other big financial men in New York had a like experience
 President Wilson said that business men the country over were coming arourd to his view that there was Mothing alarming in the trust pro fgram and in fact that it Wszs pro Iposed to. do aothfng more than had tl1een Suggested under other adrninis- 1ratfons
 The opinion prevails here that the ipres1dent is willing to cultivats a little l1uore intimate relations with men Of tannuence in the business world.
 Another development regarded of wreat signifcance is the presidents g 'stand for an amend1nent ef the Ad- nnae0n water r-power Dill 2he friends land critics of that measure had their sannings at two White House confer fences with the result that the presi- S1sat eided positively with those pro wresstves who claim that the measure fAn It's present form is iniqu1Eous and should be amended
 Secretary of War Garrison has been Arunan7isaionsd to draw those changes which will presumably be ready by Emexl Tuesday when consideration of sths water power bill will be resumed .gEz1s president's course pleases the frinnnerr atlon1sts tremendously. They tssz Eha4 they are winning a great vic ltorS in the House

Isaac Bit. toons Old and Young Dutch Sam, Izzy. Lazarus and Abe Belasco were among the famous nineteenth century Jewish boxers, while the present generation has produced such clever Jewish ex- ponents of the manly art as Abe Att tell, Leach Gross, Charlie White and LevinsEy. to mention but a few.
 Daniel Mendoza the first Jewish July B. 1764. After leaving school he followed many trades "Jewlbadtinge was then a popular sport of London buIIies. but Dan was a lad of spirit, and he resented their insults so fore fbIy that he was soon let alone. It was one of these impromptu bouts which attracted attention to Dan as a. possible pugilst and -GentIeman'' Richard Hunphrdes took the young Hebrew under his wing and instruct ed him in the arts of pug1lisrn- His | first money fight was against husky l coaI-heaver, and # lasted two hours, Mendoza winning in the. end.
 Having proved his gameness and his ability to assimiIate punishment, Dan was soon matched with better men. but he found it difficult to get matches, and in the intervals between fights he wandered over England, fol- lowing various occupations. Later the Jew quarre1Ied with Richard Hum phries, and they decided to settle their differences in the ring The HGentle-
 man. was the victor in their first bout. but in two subsequent battles the Jew demonstrated his superiority. He then administered two defeats to Bill Warr, but in 1795 he was whipped
 by John Jackson. In all, the Israelite fought forty-two battles

BIRDS AND LIGHTHOUSES.

Every night during migration,
thousands of birds, attracted by the
powerful glare of lighthouses. after
circling for hours about the lights,
fall exhausted, and die. 1t is said
that as many as l 800 woodcock per-
ished in one night at single Eng
lish lighthouse. Prof. J. p. Thijsse
found that if a lighthouse is fitted
with proper perches near the light,
the birds will perch upon them. and
few will lose their lives. The light
house at Terschelling. in Holland.
has been thus equipped for the last
three years. At this lighthouse.
which stands directly in a path of
migration. multitudes of birds for
merly died every night; now the
deaths do not exceed hundred
throughout the whole season of
migration. Perches have recently
been fitted to two English light
houses, The Caskets, in the English
Channel, and st. Catherlne's, on the
Isle of Wight. The birds fly to the
lighthouses only on dark nights

pleased 10 speak of as below US. To
turn your back on the sinner and to
gaze upward only is but to play the
Pharisee, but to see the Christ in the
common man, to feel the touch of
sympathy with him. to understand
him and work with him in bringing
the best that is in him to the susface,
that is real religion. that is the true
imitation of Christ. And you will
learn more of true religion by going
into the slums and prisons than you
will ever learn from the churches,
