While Fashion Hakes Dreaa Elaborate, the Beat Taate Leaaa to Simplicity. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. July 29. Whatever we may or may not And to do in June and July, wherever we may go, August la very sure to bring' the call to the mountains and to send our steps wandering: their way. There nights are ever cool, mornings are delightful and afternoons mean long hours of real rest undisturbed by the mosquitoes that have been making; life near to Gotham a trial the summer through. Golf is at its finest among the beautiful hills, driving and riding of the best are to be found and sport of various sorts offers itself to those so Inclined. Just what to pack in the trunk or trunks Is always something of a problem. This season the question is more than commonly urgent unless one be numbered among the few to whom all things seem to come with ease. Gowns are so varied, so many sorts are required and the sorts differ so one from the other that the question of luggage is an important one. Yet in spite of all, a clever woman can manage to be well dreaaed her visit through without being overburdened if she selects her wardrobe with car in'! bears in mind certain perenalal conditions. The m Urning means simple toilets. Golf or tennis are quite sure to be on the tapis and one is expected to be in readiness for either. Nothing offered by fashion is more charming or more appropriate than the linen suits so much in vogue. They may be white or colored, made in shirtwaist style or with the long-belted coats and short skirts, but for this hour must be comparatively plain. When made in coat style there is an accompanying blouse or waist of lighter weight and the coat can be slipped off at need, but August mountain mornings are seldom hot and sweaters are more apt to be in demand than are coats of linen to be discarded. White costumes are essentially smart, but. happly, when space must be considered, the natural color, blue, soft green and various other shades also are In vogue. When such are not obtainable the skirt of cheviot or homespun Is quite correct, worn with shirtwaists of the simplest tailored sort. With these there Is. or should be, the sweater of red or of white that adds a picturesque touch to the landscape and so often is welcome because of its warmth. THE SERVICEABLE HAT. Hats may be the ubiquitous sailor of straw, the sailor of stitched linen or the naval hat of duck that is essentially smart and ideally comfortable at the same time. Its numerous Imitations are far from desirable, lose their shape and are hopeless when soiled, but the hats made for Uncle 8am are durable and can be laundered with perfect success. Neckties and collars vary. The narrow turnover collar of linen with narrow four-in-hand or Windsor tie always Is correct with the shirtwaist. Stocks, the genuine sort, with Ascot ties, are in vogue, and simple stocks of white or the material of the waist are worn. Belts must be narrow, but may be silk, leather or linen, as best suits the wearer. Those of stitched white linen or pique, with harness buckles In flne gilt, are hanriom and suit white suits to a nicety. One hears of chiffon veils worn on the links, but I think they must be thrown back to drape the hats or be worn by uonplayers, for good play means accurate sight, and. in spite of the new erase for essential femininity, women are aot yet ready to give up the flne sport. For the mountain walks and scrambles over the always alluring hills nothing better than the short skirt of wool with the shirtwaist has been found. With it are worn shoes Of calfskin, heavy soled, with discs to prevent slipping. Often the skirt has an accompanying Jacket in the plainest tailor style, and it serves aMke for golf and for walking. No underskirts are worn, but in their stead, bloomers of silk or pongee that have removable lining of flne lawn and are both cool and light in weight. More dainty morning costumes, those designed for the piazsa. the lawn and the leisurely stroll rather than for active sport, are of linen, white and colored, but somewhat more elaborately made. A charming one. sent to the Adirondack.- this week. Is of white linen of medium weight and is a mass of fine handwork, fagoting and th.like and shows a collar of heavy lace. Another is of vioiet-coior d tinea and Ii made with insets of Cluny. but. ea h and all. the skirts clear the round. The riolet mode I combines a kilted skirt with a long plain coat, and In the same wardrobe is a fascinating one of gra. with fanngs of white simply stitched. Hats worn with these an small sailors of Milan straw trimmed with drooping feathers or those d lightful bamboo straws of the East with trimming, of chiffon or softest India silk in white. Shoes for costumes of this sort are low. of white canvas with white hose. A costume Just finished for a thoroughly up to date young matron Is of gray Scotch tweed in light weight and was ordered with a viva- to covering a variety of needs. The skirt Is kilted below a smoothly-fltted yoke and effectually clears the ground. The coat is long, box-platted and confined by a belt of the cloth held by a buckle covered with a bit of the same, liuneaih It are to be worn
waists as occasion demands. The accompanying hat Is a white sailor with rolling brim trimmed with rosettes of black and white braid and big Mack wings. The whole effort is smart in the extreme and the owner asserts that, with the addition of a sweater, she is in readiness for every morning occasion that may arise. At least one shirtwaist suit of pongee or some similar material should be included In the list of needfuls. While by no rm-aus new, these simple dresses have become almost necessities and fit so many occasions that to be without is to find oneself unfortunately placed. The plainer it is the smarter it will be. Trimming belongs to gowns of quite a different sort and no one realizes that more fully than does the woman who is always well dressed. A few simple frocks of muslin never come amiss and. when crisp and fresh, are charming on any summer day. MORE ELABORATE GOWNS. The more dainty gowns designed for the mountain trip do not differ widely from those of the plains or of the sea, but conform to the prevailing mode. Almost no long skirts are seen on gowns designed either for the street or for walking, but gowns of indoor and carriage wear continue to be gracefully trailed about. For the afternoon drive nothing is more smart than linen in its lighter, more delicate weaves, but veilings, thin silks and the like all are in vogue. A most exquisite gown of linen is in a delicate shade of shell pink and is elaborately trimmed with Valenciennes lace. The material is embroidered with tiny fleur de lis scattered over Its surface. The skirt is made with three gathered flounces, moderately full, with between them plaited frills of four-inch Valenciennes lace made very full. The bodice is the inevitable blouse With a big cape collar, finished below the shoulders with four plaited frills of the lace, and with wide, loose sleeves that are rounded up at the outside of the arms and finished with a single lace frill each, and that fall over big bishop sleeves of sheerest lawn that are very nearly covered with narrower plaitlngs of lace. At the waist is a sash of pink taffeta with a twist of black tulle at the upper edge, whose long, loose ends fall at the back with those of the silk. The ac companying hat is big. low. flat, in picture style, and is of white chip with white plumes and palest pink crushed roses beneath the brim. A second gown of linen is white, with black polka dots, and is trimmed with black velvet ribbon, so completely have we divorced all Idea of laundering from the fine linens now in vogue. Crepes de chine, tussore, pongee and all the pretty thin WUOleil fabrics are admirable for these gowns. Many of these are elaborate in the extreme, but again comparatively simole models are seen at the smartest resorts, so that there Is ample opportunity for choice. As lovely a crepe de chine as any I have seen is of pale pink, and is made with the full plaits in the skirt that are so extremely fashionable. The lower edge of the skirt is inset with three rows of Bruges lace. It is sun-plaited and stitched flat well below the hip line, then allowed to fall In the lovely folds the material takes. Beneath it is a foundation of silk veiled with mousseline and edged with plisse frills of the same. The waist also Is plaited and opens Over a plastron, which is inset with medallions of lace edged about with a tiny bit of panne in the green of real jade. The sleeves are finely plaited at the shoulders, are caught and held by cuffs of the material piped with the panne midway between that point and the elbow and are gathered into cuffs of lace that show touches of the green. The wide girdle combines the crepe and the velvet, the pink and the delicious jade green. Plait.ngs, by the way, are much in favor and are exceedingly graceful worn by slender figures. A most exquisite veiling in banana yellow is made with a sunplaited skirt that is quite plain, a plaited bodice with big draped sleeves and a tiny bolero of It ce. Another is of white pongee and is trimmed only with insets of lace on skirt and blouse, put in before the plaiting is done. Louisine and all soft silks a-e. charming so treated and are made up with comparatively little trimming. A most effective one in white louisine is made with a skirt finished only with rows of fancy stitching above the hem and a plaited bodIce with very wide sleeves that are held by narrow cuffs of embroidered muslin, over which is worn a deep cape collar of similar embroidery. Deep cape collars make important adjuncts to summer dress. Those of embroidery are daintily charming and new. but those of lace also are much worn and will often serve to renovate an entire gown. One or more, bought now at bargain prices, will be certain to prove a good investment and to help out marvelously in making the changes demanded by fashion. WRAPS AND EVENING GOWNS. Cloaks for afternoon driving are of pongee, silk and linen, made loose with ample sleeves, but it is well to let the mountain outfit include one, at least, of genuine warmth. For these panne cloth, silk lined, are charming. Half, three-quarters and full lengths all are In vogue and the style may be ornate or quite simple with equal correctness. Evening gowns are much the same the world over. However much daytime sports and customs may vary with environment the evening, means Indoor pleasures and the usual evening dress. This season all diaphanous and filmy materials are given first place. Chiffon cloth is a pronounced favorite and deservedly so for It has all the beauty and grace of the original material with additional durability. Silk mulls are much liked and are graceful made after the new full styles. Crepes de Chine, crepe ninon, eolienne, almost everything that can be shirred and plaited is In vogue. Fine embroidered muslins, too, are worn by young girls and are exquisitely charming. A much admired gown made for a debutante is of point d'esprit net that is enriched by delicate lines of palest green floss worked in to give a lattice effect. The skirt is simply gored and made with two deep, gather flounces above which is a garniture of white chiffon roses with their green foliage. The bodice is in baby style with big. puffed sleeves that extend to the elbows and is finished with flowers about the low neck nestled in soft folds of net. At the wuist is a draped belt and sash of louisine silk showing varying shades of green. The gown is made over green silk, veiled with white net and is delightfully youthful and cool In appearance. It is by no means elaborate. Neither the material nor the labor need involve any great cost yet the effect is as delightful as could be asked. Shirred gowns are in the height of style and are beautiful made of the soft chiffons and nets with really little trimming. What tends, more than anything else, to give the needed effect of airy nothingness, or fairylike lightness rather, is the Interlining of mousseline or net. Nothing else can produce the result. Without it the effect is lost. Summer evening gowns should always be simpler than those of winter wear. Just such lovely things as result from the use of the nets and gauzes over gauze are In the best taste and In demand. Greater elaboration and heavier fabrics can well be reserved for cold weather use. Change the world of fashion mush have. It is well for every reason that the change to warm weather should mean simpler, less ornate gowns than those worn when the greater formalities of winter are at their height. One and all we need our holiday time and everything that tends to make it one of greater relaxation is to be welcomed and treasured for reasons of health as well as of pleasure. MAY MANTON. NEW SONG SCORES A HIT.
It Will Be Repeated by Miss Brehany Thia Afternoon and ilit. Another hit was scored by Miss Louise Brehany last night at Fair Bank. The sweet-voiced soprano, who has been singing her way Into the hearts of Indianapolis people during the last three weeks, rendered for the first time a tender little love song entitled "Dear Heart. I C.n't Forget You," written by Louis W. Jones, of this city, and published by M. Witmark & Sons, of New York. Miss Brehany gave the song a beautiful Interpretation and was al.lv assisted by the band of thirty-six ee, a tine band arrangement of the composition having been arranged by the conductor. William E. Barnes. The new song seems especially adapted to Miss Br hany's sympathetic voice and it was received with so much enthusiasm by the large audience present that It will be repeated at the matinee this afternoon and again at this evening's concert. Mr. De Camp, the baritone, was heard In four selections and his singing was much njoyed. The instrumental soloists of the. programme were William and Pasquale Montani, In pleasing harp and French horn numbers. The programmes which Conductor Barnes has prepared for this afternoon and tonight look very inviting. Eugene Wack. the . orn tist. will be the Instrumental soloist of to-night's programme and Miss Brehany and Mr. De Camp will be hear.l for the last time at the two concerts. The vocal stars for next week at Fair Bank will be Eugene Cowles, who has been secured by the management for a return engagement, and Madam baoinsky, a dramatic contralto, who is salt, to possess an unusually beautiful veica

One Man's Summer Diversion. There is nothing half so queer as the queer family habits men and women get into and concerning which they seem utterly unconscious. "One of my chums has taken up a crazy fad," remarked a young society man, smoking under a tree on a suburban lawn, with his wife and several other indulgent ladies near-by. "I call him 'Jack-the-fly-klller,' but even ridicule does not seem to reform him. Since he has got Into his new and beautiful summer home he seems simply rabid about flies. Going over to call on Jack and his wife these days is really a society circus on a small scale. If he meets us at the door he opens the screen just a crack and says: 'Here, scoot in quick, so no flies will get in. How are you?' Then the visit is made gay by his abnormal alertness in the matter of flies. No matter who is talking to him, or what the topic is, his eyes are rambling around his wife's lovely rooms. Suddenly he arises with a Jerk and says: 'Excuse me just a moment there's a fly. He keeps somewhere, close at hand, a wire fly-killer, fastened to a cane, and armed with it away he goes after that fly. I've seen him climb on a chair, bang at the ceiling with the wire weapon and then crawl on the floor to identify the wrecked body of the enemy. Then he returns in triumph and takes up his duties as host. " 'What were you saying about Roosevelt? You must pardon my dashing off after that fly. They are such a nuisance and my wife hates them so. That makes twenty-five I've killed to-day.' "Mrs. Jack says Jack gets up In the night and bangs around the room in his sleep still chasing flies. When she wakes him he goes back to bed saying: 'Well, I heard a fly anyway; If I had got him that would have been thirty-three.' She sees how funny he is, but goodness, he doesn't seem to see it at all. I have urged her to have him locked up somewhere until the fly season is over, but she says It wouldn't do any good. I don't know what will become of Jack this fly-fud has almost ruined him."
High Art In Plaster. As a rule, the people who don't know add more to the gayety of nations that the people who do know. In a small ten-cent shop the other morning a young woman was inspecting some cheap plaster objects of art with a view to making a little green and white room in a country cottage look "cool and pleasant," as the fashion books say. The bust of one grim-looking warrior, roughly executed, seemed somewhat familiar to Aer, and yet uufamiliar. "Who is that?" she asked the young woman benind the counter. "I ought to know, but am not certain. Is it Ajax?" "I don't know," the girl answered dubiously; "mebbe 'tis, and mebbe 'taint Anyhow, 'taint Padrooskl." Menus for Two Days.

Collars of beading with tab ends down the front, all run with medium-width velvet ribbon, are being sold at one shop, two for 20 cents, which is at least one more than anybody has a right to expect. XXX A dainty bit of a Swiss apron, with a frill of cluny lace, and insertion bands of trie lace edged by ribbon-run beading, is a pretty thing for mademoiselle to slip on over her afternoon frock when she wishes to look particularly busy with her sewing or embroidery. XXX Wide ribbons with flower designs make pretty sash, s for dainty organdie dresses of plain colors. Almost all ribbons are selling now at reduced prices, and even if one's this-year frocks are complete in the matter of sash- i and such, it is worth while to put the ribbons away for another summer. XXV Fall fabrics are beginning to appear on shop counters, and hints of the new materials indicate that for street wear the materials wiil be exceptionally heavy, while the fabrics for afternoon and evening wear will touch the other extreme in their lightness of texture and cllnginess of effect. XXX The Cluny laces which have been the correct embellishment for summer goa'ns will not find the days of their usefulness gone when the summer days are over. According to the trimming-people, 'the pretty laces are to be the correct accompaniment of fall and winter frocks.

Another pretty thing in these ribbons is a square with a medallion head to be set in the center of a handsome pillow. V X X A new handkerchief for the making of the popular handkerchief pillow is brought
j out in rose and chrysanthemum designs. i with a big flower in each corner and striped borders of pink or blue. Two handkerchiefs to the pillow, with sometimes an extra one for the flouncing thereof, makes the cost of the cover only twenty or thirty cents. The Dressing Sack. The Pilgrim. Nothing can be done in a dressing sack which cannot be done equally well in a shirtwaist, and there is as much freedom in a walking skirt as in a petticoat, though the dressing sack lady who wears her petticoat as an outer garment would indignantly deny the fact. At some indefinite stag of the habit, the skirt retires in favor of the petticoat, and the resourceful young woman who wore a black sateen petticoat I with her shirtwaist all through a five-day : trip on a lake steamer, because she "didn't want to spoil her good skirt,"' was doubtless a slave to the dressing sack habit when the was at home. There may be some subtle use for clothes, the knowledge of which is religiously kept 1 1 in the many, but on the surface of things it would seem that they were made to wear, and if they soil too easily houses might be kept cleaner at the expense of shopping, matinees and women's clubs. People are said to have their prototypes in the animal world, and there is more than an ordinary likeness between the unorseted, dressing-sack lady and the equally comfortable jelly fish that remains upon the beach when the tide goes out. As to the prevalence of the habit, consult the ice man, the grocery boy. or the itinerant who haunts hack doors in the morning. Ask the postman whether the red-haired slattern in the pink dressing sack is mistress or maid. Ten to one it isn't the maid, since working for a living engenders a mighty self-respect. A Good llrconla. Home and Flowers. Among all the begonias and the list is a long one there is none more satisfactory In all ways than the variety known as argentea guttata. It is of as easy culture as a geranium. Anyone can grow it, and it appears to be as much at home in the dwelling house as in the greenhouse. It is of rapid growth. It has a spreading rather than an upright habit. A two or three-year-old plant is often four or five feet across, with dozens of stout stalks all sent up from the roots of the plant. Its foliage is long, sharply pointed, of a rich olive on the upper surface, thickly spotted with silvery white, while the lower side is a dull red. A well-grown plant is simply magnificent, its foliage being far more attractive than that of most plants grown for decorative purposes. But in addition to Its foliage it has most beautiful flowers, in large, spreading clusters, a soft, pearly flesh in color, passing to almost white. To grow this begonia well give It a soil of loam, into which considerable leaf mold and sand have been worked. Keep it out of strong sunshine.

A very superior article in the way of gooseberry pie can be made by following this recipe: Take one quart of gooseberries, properly prepared, one large hunk of piecrust, and wrap the latter artistically around the former. Serve warm or cold, according to taste. When ironing do not allow the flatlron to stand too long on the bosom of the shirtwaist. If you do it will become very peekaboo. If you have any regard for your husband's feelings, do not polish the floors. When he comes home late it is impossible for him to steal softly across a polished floor. Never leave sheets of flypaper scattered around the room on chairs and divans. Do not put too much salt in your pastry. Many a husband has accumulated a thirst on account of eating excessive quantities of salt. SECOND CHINESE NIGHT. Crash Not So Great, but the Entertainment Successful. The second night of the Chinese roof garden entertainment at the Columbia Club was not marked by the great crush that attended the opening night, but the attendance was fully as large as had been anticipated. The first night was guest night; last night the entertainment was only for the club members, their wives and women friends. The smaller crowd and the cooler weather made the occasion all the more enjoyable, as the force of attendants was better able' to handle the guests and see to their comfort and pleasure. The features of the entertainment were similar to those of the first night, although there were several new numbers on the programme to furnish variety. The Chinese roof garden has proved the most successful entertainment ever given by the club, and Chairman H. C. Kahlo and the other members of the entertainment committee and Superintendent Hurley have been made the recipients of thanks and congratulations from all sides. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON. Cape effects are much in vogue and are seen upon many of the latest waists. This stylish model is adapted to both the costume and the separate blouse and is shown In white pongee, with the cape and trimmings of cream colored lace and the tucked front of mousseline, and is stitched with corticelll silk; but the design suits many other materials equally well. All silks and light-weight wools are admirable and many of the handsomer linens ana cottons are satisfactory. When preferred one material can be used for the entire waist and the cape and stole can be omitted when a plainer blouse is desired. The waist is made over a smoothly-fitted foundation that closes at the center front. The back Is tucked in groups which extend 464 Blouse Waist, 32 to 40 bust.

AN EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
THE STATE BOARD WILL HAVE A CREOITABLE DISPLAY. No Member of the Board of Edacatloi Will Receive Remuneration Will Soon Begin Active Work. The State Board of Education is determined that Indiana's educational exhibit at the St. Louis exposition shall be a creditable display, and at yesterday morning's meeting of the board the preliminary steps toward making the exhibit were tak. :i. Senator Goodwlne, chairman of the committee on eductaion of the world's fair commission, met with the board in the office of F. A. Cotton, superintendent of public instruction, and asked that the department of education take charge of the work of making the exhibit. It Is the understanding that no member of the board will be paid for services rendered in connection with this work and no employe of the department of education shall receive remuneration. Should additional stenographers or clerks be needed in the work they will be furnished by the commission, it was decided to make an exhibit of all the educational Interests of Indiana, including kindergarten work, elementary education, secondary education and higher education. The exhibit will also include the technical institutes of the State, which will take in the new institute to be established here by Winona people. There will also be represented the School for Feeble-minded Youth, the Institute for the Deaf. Institute for the Blind. Girls' Industrial School, Boys' Reform School and Indiana Reformatory. A committee consisting of J. N. Study, of Fort Wayne. W. L. Bryan, president of the State University, and Superintendent Cotton was appointed to go to St. Louis and ascertain how much space Indiana will be allowed for her educational exhibit. The committee will probably ask for about 3,000 feet. As soon as it is ascertained how much space can be secured the department of education will begin active work and the different educational institutions will be notified. It is stated that the higher educational institutions, all church colleges and the private normal schools of the State will be asked to prepare exhibits r Sunday-School Lesson and THE SLXD AY-SCHOOL LESSON. 1 Samuel awl, 4-13 An. 2, 1903 Samuel Anoints David. That obscure Judean village la in a tumult. The even tenor of its semi-rural life ia broken up. An unlooked-for guest has arrived in the person of a man who outranks the king himself in the popular esteem and confidence. Samuel the Judge has made a detour from his ordinary circuit, and haa come to Bethlehem, least of the cities of Judah. What does his coming portend? The dull town is aroused, while the elders hasten to the gate to forestall, if possible, any impending Judgment. A moment later the most prosperous home in the place, that of the prosperous Judean sheik. Jesse, is astir in preparation for a guest who is the most revered man of the nation. The sacrificial banquet Is ready. The goodly savor of the roasted heifer fills the place; the guests are coming; the servants run hither and thither. Samuel, at once guest, host and sympo larch, is about to take his place. A shepherd lad. on the rough t Judean steppes near by, tends his father's sheep. He may have seen the prophet pass, or noted the tumult in the town; but he la fidelity' a self. Curiosity nor self-interest lure him from his duty. Shepherding sheep has been his unconscious preparation to shepherd men. His task has developed the traits of courage, patience and sympathy. Solitude has been favorable to devotion. As a devout improvisatore he has often broken th silence under the stars with the noble strains of his psalmody, accompanying the same with his harp, making yonder cliff come in with the refrain. The last is firs: 1 'e who was not bidden to the lowest seat at the feast is called to the head of th table. A servant relieves David in the care of the sheep, and he hurries, without opportunity to make a toilet, Into the presence of the prophet. The candidate to th throne Is in the bloom of youth. His healthful occupation has given him a ruddy cheek, while auburn locks upon a marble brow are suggestive of the golden crown he shall so soon wear. But these adolescent charms of persons are not to be compared with the graces of the heart for which the Lord first makes His quest. David breathes deeeply the theocratic spirit. He loves God supremely. Hla foremost purpose Is to be Icyal and dutiful to Jehovah, and loving and helpful to his fellows. In this he is a man after God's heart. This constitutes his singular adaptation to the theocratic kingship, a position sul generis In history As David enters the banquet room Samuel's holy mentor says In the prophet's hesrt. "Up!" "Anoint!" In a moment the beaten and fragrant oil of the tabernacie is glittering upon those golden locks. Possibly no one In the company, save the prophet, understands the significance of the scene. A royal destiny for a shepherd boy who could divine it? So, after this episode the feast goes on, and perhaps the lad, not having been "sanctlned" for the feast, goes back to the sheep. But David must know the meaning of the prophet's enigmatical act. It slowly dawns upon his illuminated consciousness. Preparation for his high calling keeps pace with his ever-increasing knowledge of the claims and duties of that calling. There is a progressive occupation and enlightenment of his inner life by the Spirit. It matters little whether this divine culture of the young king was mediate or Immediate. Samuel may have been his mentor as he was Saul's. The Bethlehemite lad may have made frequent pilgrimages to Raman; or, like Saul, he may have taken a course In one of the divinity schools. These mediate methoas, however, are in no way Inimical to the immediate influence of the Spirit of the Lord which came upon David at the time of his anointing, from that day forward. However that may be. when the hour of coronation came, the kingly office was matched by a kingly character. The manifold and imperative exactions of a position which has no precise parallel in history were met by a versatile character, developed and Inured to meeet those exactions. David could both compose battle hymns for his army and In person lead to battle He could both make law and administer It. He could maintain the delicate equilibrium between the recluse and the man of affairs. With a master hand he changed the whole face of Hebrew history. Samuel's anointing of David was the last official act. the golden climax of a long, useful and honorable career. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN Samuel's grief for Saul was evidence of his generous and humane disposition. While he still lived, he could not easily treat him as if he were dead. Though he did not visit him. he bitterly lamented his downfall. But there was a boundary beyond which this grief wss improper. That limit was the point at which It disqualified him for obedience to God and service to his country in finding a successor to the fallen monarch. Grief Is natural. It is even honorable; but there Is always a point at which a halt must be called to It. That point Is where It begins to disqualify one for the evident duties of life. The cure of grief Is here Indicated! Submission: I have rejected him. Work: Fill thine horn and go. Hope: I have provided a king. Dr. Trumbull, the versatile editor of th Sunday-school Times, carries his proposition. "A II never Justifiable," so far as to inhibit military maneuvers in war. I am not certain now he

It Will Open on Mondar After Walter Bollhy the Maaascr. Everything Is in readiness for the opening of the Park Theater next Monday afternoon. The employes of the house have been busily engaged during the last two days preparing to welcome the Park's old patrons back to the "home of melodrama." Walter Bollby, who last season filled the position of tressurer of the theater, will hereafter be the acting manager. Fred C. Dickson, the former acting manager, now making his headquarters at the Dickson & Talbott offices In the Grand Opera House block, taking up the work of his father, the late George A. Dickson. The Park will follow the same policy this season that has been in vogue at that theater during the laM two theatrical years that of dividing each week between two theatrical attractions, each playing three afternoons and venings. "When the Bell Tolls.'" an English melodrama by Travers Vale, will be the first offering of the season and will give way next Thursday to one of Lincoln J. Carter's plays Two little WalfsV RETURNS THE LICENSE. Leonard G. Sargent Accepts the Situation Rather Philosophically. The last chapter in the affair of Leonard G. Sargent, whose sweetheart. Miss Del lie Douglass, ran away and refused to him. was concluded yesterday, when Sargent appeared at the county clerk's office with the marriage license for cancellation. The voung man looked tired and weary and had just returned from 8t. Louts, where he failed to find any trace of the young woman. As he turned to leave the office he remarked to Clerk Qulnn: "It was best for both of us. I suppose. It was better that It should happen now than later on." It is believed from the girl's letter to her mother that she Is still at St. Louts, at the home of a friend. Her mother Intimated that now that young Sargent had given up Lis suit for her daughter she would likely return to her home. Injuries Cause Death. James Cook died at the City Hospital yesterday from the effects of Injuries received last Tuesday, when he was run down by an East Michigan-street car. The funeral will be held to-day from his late residence, at No. 417 North Davidson street. Christian Lndeavor Work treats the incident under consideration. I should think it would be enough to wreck hla wllmeant but overstrained theory- If the aacrtnee proposed was a mere pretended affair, a hollow form, engaged In a perfunctory way. and for tha sole purpose of blinding Saul. It would be open to criticism. But Samuel could and did enter Into this sacred service- of sacrifice as devoutly and earnestly as If be had had no additional purpose. It was concealment, not deception. However, the Bible does not stand or fall by the answer to the question whether on this occasion Samuel made pretense of a sacriflcs or not. The Scripture narrative Is not th. portrayal of ideally perfect chsracters, but rather of tha genesis and evolution of conscience in man. What the mn of one era can do conscientiously the men of a later ought not to be able to do. The standards of one age cannot be those ot another. Blood will tell. The king iect had an untarnished train of noble ancestor. He Inherited the princely Integrity of Boas sjsfj the devoted fidelity of Ruth. Yet David's aptitude for kingship did not show In his physical appearance. Samuel would not nave selected him at sight. As Lincoln passed through a throng a spectator said: "He's a dreadful common -looking man." The President, everbearing the remark, turned and said, goodnaturedly, "it only shows how well the Lord likes common folks, thst He has made so many of us that way." Moral qualities are more important that physical. Touth is no bar In the Lort 's service. David is called at seventeen, Samuel at twelve. Polycarp was converted at nine. Matthew Henry at eleven. President Edwards at seven. Robert Hall at twelve, Isaac Watts at nine. Great are tha gains to the individual, the church, the world, of early piety. Th hero-life of David gives th II the Iterated accusation that the religious character Is a spiritless and effeminate type. It shows religion compatible with courage. Intrepidity and clear grit. Yet fervent piety overtops David's other traits. The elements of his character are transfused with faith and prayer and psalmody. There are no human gauges to measure the Inspirational force of auch a Ufa. While It quickens the pulse of youth, it will also prompt an Imitation of its noblest traits. It la a voice crying. "Blow, blow the clarion. All the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim. One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a nam!" a . CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. How We May Overcame Oar Hla d ranees II Cor. all, 7-lOj a, 10. The German Emperor is fond of using a motto which Is most appropriate to his sturdy character; it is th simple word. "Nevertheless." That was Paul's motto, also. Was he llttl of stature, stammering of speech, half blind perhaps, only one man against an empire? "Nevertheless" h went at his work and acccmpllshed It; though not b. as he so often declared, but th Spirit of Christ dwelling In him. "Nevertheless" was Gladstone's word. Once, when he was chancellor of the exchequer, he waa riding a wild young horse that ran away with him. leaping over an iron gat that stood in tha way. Gladstone forced him about and leaped him over the gate again, and yet again, and many times, till the horse was fairly conquerad. Thus the great statesman met and mastered all bis difficulties. As th child's rhyme puts It: You will find that luck Is only pluck To try things over and over; Patience and skill. Courage and wilt Are the four leaves of luck's clover. An old colored preacher properly dettned tha quality I an. picturing. Firstly," he exhorted, "take bold; secondly, hold on. thirdly and lastly, nebber leave go." Few really manage the first, fewer still th second, whll th third la reserved for those supreme characters that do tha world's work and gain the world's honor. We. call them geniuses, and nvy their success, but their only genius is a willingness for "terrible toil," and thtr success has nothing fortuitous about it. Every man of them would answer as Moody answered when asked how he accomplished so much: "Go to work and stay at work and you'll find out." Difficulties? Of course. Llf Is full or them all life worth the living just as a mountain ts full of rock, and gets and keeps Its height just because it Is full of rock. "Difficulties," said stout Epictetus, who rnew what be was talking about, "are things that show us what mea are." The more there la of a man, therefore, the mora he glories In difficulties. When Sir Christopher Wren, in order to build bis new cathedral In London, was tearing dowa the old St. Paul'a. for a whole day thirty workmen beat asalnst the wall without any appareat result. flr Christopher, however, knew that the vibration thus slowly Imparted to the wail must conquer in the end. mad them persevere, and on the second day with th bettering ram th wall fell. Thus It la. also, that churches rise, by constantly i -aging away. line upon line, her a little, there a little" Heaven rejoices la falU ures, when men pluck from them an undaunted spirit, and auch failures lead ever to linnaas. Aa Edwin Markham sturdily sings: On. fear not nor falter, but give of our beet; It I all that aa angel can do; leave the rest I nto God.
