ST. PAUL AUDITORIUM.

For many years the poets have been
telling us that Carolan was the last of
the Celtic bards. They were wrong,
for there is still at least one bard left,
and he is John Mccormack, the great
Irish tenor who will be heard at the
st. Paul auditorium on Wednesday,
November 7tf1.
He is a bard in the true sense, for
through the medium of music he de-
livers a messages message, be it
known, that reaches the innermost
depths of the human heart. There is
absolutely no need for one to attempt
to analyze the singers method. 1t de-
fies analysis, for it seems to belong
to no particular school, unless it is
the school of John Mccormack. He
just sings, that is all, and that is all he
needs to do. Unlike many of the con-
cert singers heard today, he INDUCES
in no play-acting. Theatricals are left
behind and there is no apparent effort
on his part to impress his hearers
with his personality. 1t is part of John
McCormack's creed, frequently ex-
pressed, that an entente cordiale must

fact that this provision of the organ
ic law of the state is being violated
ruthlessly by school boards in good
many localities. Girls are being grad
uated from public schools and then go
to normal school who cannot, to save
their very lives, get teaching places in
their home towns because their re-
ligious faith happens to be different
from that of the members of the local
boards of education
1T is gratifying to see the State
Department of Education taking a
vigorous stand with the board of Med
ford Township, in Burlington County,
where a particularly aggravated case
has come to light. To an estimable
young woman of Stirling an offer of
a position was formally made 'proyid-
ing you are not a Catholic or a Jew
ess.' This was gratuitous insult, not
alone to the young woman, but to
those generally of either of these
faiths. The defense, SO far as de-
Tense has been made, of the local
board is that it represented a finicky
constituency and therefore put itself
above the law"
The Newark Morning Ledger editor
[(Sept. II, 1910, committed himself
thus:
Another exhibition of religious intol-
erance among public school authori-
ties in South Jersey has been brought
to the attention of the State Board of
Education. The victim in this instance
is a Jewess, who sought position
in the public schools of Medford
Township, Burlington County. She re-
ceived a letter from the secretary of
the board informing her that he had
been authorized to offer her position
as teacher provided you are not a
Catholic or Jewess.'
about three months ago similar
exhibition of bigotry, of which young
woman, who was Catholic was the
victim, brought strong rebuke from
the State Board of Education.
These incidents, and similar incl
dents that have not been brought to
public attention, should result in a. de-
mand for legislation that will provide
an effective remedy against recur-
renee, even if it becomes necessary to
reorganize the school system SO that
men of the type of the Medford School
Board cannot be permitted to make a
mockery of the Constitution of the
state and the United States.
| 1T is doubtful if there is any law
now on the statute books that can
i provide an effective remedy to reach
the offenders, whether the offenders

A RUSSIAN HENRY VIII.

ect were, as the author tells us, ION
the one hand, his vaulting ambition
burned with eagerness to establish
! family connections with the first rub
ing houses of the world such as the
houses of Hapsburg and Bourbon, and
Ito secure for his own dynasty, till
then scarcely known in civilized
Europe, a position of equality with
them. In this he was hindered by the
fact that no other ruling house be-
longed to the Greek orthodox religion.
Besides this, Peter hoped to find the
Apostolic See more compliant than
the Russian clergy who stubbornly re-
fused to legally and finally divorce
him from his first wife, Eudoxia La
puchin, from whom he passionately
desired to be separated. This they re-
fused because there was not even the
semblance of reason for doing SO"
To encompass this design the Gar
sent his most astute and accomplished
diplomat, Count Kurakin, to Rome to
conduct negotiations toward realizing
his scheme. IT is this same Count
Kurakin whom ST. Simon gives as his
personal source of information in the
matter Our author continues his in
teresting revelation by telling us that:
''Still the negotiations conducted in
greatest secrecy for over three years
yielded no result, for the reason that
in the first place, the Pope without a
shadow of doubt absolutely refused
to lend himself to divorcing the Sole
Lord of all Russians from poor Eu-
doxia, and then especially because Ku-
rakin's report convinced him (Peter)
that from his own and the conversion
of his people there would arise such
an obstacle to the establishment of
that absolutism which he so desired
that even the most brilliant family al
lance would be too great a price to
pay. Peter therefore gave up the
project and allowed the Greek Church
to remain in Russia" "A
Thus we have here again a most
telling example of the unyielding at
titude of the Church on so fundamen-
tai principle as divorce, a matter of
such vital social Importance in our
day of neo-pagan laxity. So, too, we
have here again, out of the mouth of
what we in America have come to
regard as one of the classical ex-
amples of Absolutism, strong con-
frmation of the Church's champions
ship of the rights of nations and peo-
pies. The fact that at all times she

THE sHuRERT THEATER.

The Shubert. bill for the week of
November 4 is comedy-drama by
Herbert Bashford, entitled "The
Woman He Married"
. 1t tells the story of a young woman
who marries the son of millionaire,
the father accusing her of mercenary
motives in accepting the young man.
Family finances run very low, but
when the wife suggests doing her bit
by resuming her old profession her
husband strenuously objects.
However, actual need finally drives
her to posing again, though she does
1T without her husbands knowledge,
and tells him the money is borrowed
from woman friend.
+ There is a tense dramatic climax
when the husband learns the truth,
but eventually the young people adj
just their affairs and settle down to
what looks like permanent happiness.
