PROBLEM

The attitude of the Congress
sional Country Club toward hold
ing the 1892 National Amateur
golf championship probably won't
be determined until the middle
Of next month.
A special committee, compris-
ing Henry j. Richardson, Guy T.
Mason, Comptroller General John
r. McCarl, Edward r. Colladay
and Albert Walker. has been
named by the board of govern.
ors to investigate what the Ma:
tional Amateur would cost Con-
gressional and what would be
expected of Congressional in re-
spect to accommodations.
It had been expected that this
special board would submit a
report by the first Of November,
but Edward F. Colladay is away
and it seems the report will be
delayed at least two weeks.
In case a favorable opinion
is given by this committee,
the chances are that the
board of governors will order
that a formal letter be for.

Golf Association requesting
that the 1882 National ANA

At it's last meeting there was no
vote or discussion as to the
boards stand. The members
were chiefly concerned about the
expense. and, for that reason, ap-
pointed the special COMMITTEES.
Congressional has received ad-
vance information that 1t can
have the 1892 National Amateur,
If enough pressure" is brought
to bear. However, it has also
come to light that the Five
Farms course in Baltimore is
seeking the 1892 amateur.
The annual meeting and elec-
tion of officers will be held to-
night at the Columbia Country
Club. The members must vote on

SO that they can secure q maxi

solve one Of the most serious

HYSTER|A SEEN
IN RELIGION

NEW YORK, May S.-Religion
is suffering today from oversen
sationalism, from hysteria and
from an infiltratfon of the lurid
Journalism of the day, declared
the Very Rev. Milo H. Gates,
Dean Of the Cathedral Of st.
John the Divine, in his sermon
yesterday morning. Dean Gates
said:
This is an hysterical age, an
age of high.lights, and religion
suffers from the same disease.
Our clergy and our cOngrega-
tions blame religion for failing
to solve problems Of philan-
thrOpy and social service which
are no concern Of religion.
$50 many of our people
approach religion, in an hysteric,
COnvulsive manner, leaping with
God, cOmmuning with Him in
q frantic manner, instead Of
with the quiet and the peace
that is associated with His
name. If many of the sO-called
modern saints were to be ad-
nnitted to heaven they would
spoil the place. Their Strident
voices would jar the peace Of
Eden. and were they to play
on the celestial harps they
most likely would play the
laughed diScOrdS Of modern
music"

s.--A guilty conscience cost ALT
Stanton, colored liquor-runner,
the sum of $127 so, in Police Court
here.
Plotting his old car containing
IS gallons Of liquor into this city
during the early morning hours,
Stanton espied a police car en-
tering from an intersecting street.
Without waiting to witness the
progress Of the officers, he leaped
from the machine, nor did he
stop to shut off the engine or
apply the brakes. His actions
drew the attention of the Off
GERS who examined the car when
it came to stop against a tele-
phone pole and found the guam
tity Of liquor. OF Stanton there
was no trace.
The colored driver appeared at
tina police station several hours
later and claimed the car, paying
his $127 fine. The police said
they had no intentions originally
Of hating him.
