The givers are now expected to give of themselves as well as of their money, and the beneficiaries. are ex pected to give of themselves also. Ahout seventy-five older girls of the commons have rented a cottage at jGlencoo, 111., where they will spend their vacation. The expenses of the cottage will be partly defrayed by the commons, but the girls hope to re quire but little of this assistance, and they will decorate the cottage in as "jolly" a fashion as they can, and, of course, do co-operative housekeeping. Miss McDowell of the University of Chicago settlement has gone abroad and will visit England and Scotland, Franco and Switzerland. In her ab sence Misses Bass, Jones, Hoblitt and Blumm will conduct the work. The playground will be one of the factors at this settlement. It will be open continually to the children, and one evening each week It is expected music will be furnished by the Univer eity of Chicago band and members of the Stock Yards band. The summer homo at Lake Geneva is already open and four of the neighbors all women leave today for the freedom and frolic of that beautiful place. There will also be a series of picnics to near-by points from the University of Chicago settlement. The Northwestern University Set tlement will have more outings this summer than ever before in its his tory. There are to be separate vaca tions for children, for women, and for men. The young women have been planning for a cottage at St. Joseph, Mich., where they will go in relays. The arrangements for the men have not been completed, but Mrs. Henry Ward Rogers, the president of the council of administration of the Settle ment association, is most anxious that this feature shall not be neglected. The settlement Is to give weekly out intrs to t.hfr "kinrlGrora'rrmi r.lasRPS. and the place of outing is to change every week. It was feared when Mrs. Henry Ward Rogers, the most ardent friend of the Northwestern University settlement, went east that the settlement would Buffer in consequence, but in spite of the great distance between New Haven and Chicago, Mrs. Rogers is frequently here, and the subscriptions she has ob tained for the building fund have been very gratifying indeed. The tenth year of the summer school superintended by Hull House will be held as usual at Rockford college, 111., this summer. The residents of Hull House will continue their instruction there along the same lines on which they are conducted at Hull House dur ing the winter. Rockford. collegp gives the use of its buildings, dormitories, refectory and scientific equipment in cluded; but otherwise the school is entirely self-supporting, $3 per week being charged each prudent. There are usually a hundred in attendance. The girls of the settlement are to have a delightful outing at Oregon, HI., that idyllic village made famous by the colony of artists which has gathered there. A large old stone house on the river bank has been contributed for this use by a gentleman interested not only in Hull House, but also in making Oregon a place of many fine and humane Interests. The children of Hull House will have many excur sions and short vacations, the settle ment co-operating with other organi eations for this purpose. June 20 Is to be a great day for the poor children, by the way.

Senator George F. Hoar, of Massa chusetts, speaking at Harvard's com mencement, said: "Harvard has placed her laurel on many illustrious brows since the day she welcomed George Washington, but none upon brows more worthy than those of William McKinloy." Speaking of the Philippine policy of the same William McKinlev. tho same Senator Hoar said in the senate on April 17, 1900: "The statesman or the party who will not stand by the Declaration and obey It is never to be trusted any where to keep an oath to support the constitution." And again the Bay State's senior senator said of the Philippine repub lic, since completely wiped out by Mr. McKinley, whose brows ho now finds as worthy as any since Washington's: "If we crush that republic, despoil that people of their freedom and Inde pendence, and subject them to our rule, It will be a story of shame and dishonor." As a climax to Mr. Hoar's fine flew of declamation against all the men who went back on the great Declara tion, he predicted their final doom as follows: "The men who. stand by it shall live in the eternal memory of mankind, and the men who depart from it (which must have meant MV. McKin ley, because no exceptions were made) and the men who depart from It, how ever triumphant and successful in their little policies, shall perish and be forgotten, or shall be remembered only, to be despised." Suth was .the view of Mr. McKinley and his "little policies" held by he 'successor of Charles Sumner in the national . senate less than fifteen months, ago. And today the same sevefly virtuous statesman describes him with "illustrious Drows" occupy ing a place in the national temple of fame not far from Washington, and is quite sure that Harvard has be stowed her laurel upon no "brows more worthy"- since the Father of His Country was' thus, honored. Senator Hoar may have been right In April, 1900. He may have been right at Harvard last Wednesday. He could not have been right both times. The supreme court of the United Stat es alone has the high privilege of saying "Yea, yea" today and "Nay, nay" tomorrow; and being right "both times. -Now York World. Platform of Progressive Democracy. On the 31st of July, a number of Ohio democrats who resonted the fail ure of the regular convention to roaf flrin the Kansas City platform mot at Columbus, Hon. George A. Groot pre siding, adopted a platform, and placed a. state ticket in the field. Besides reaffirming the Kansas City platform and making complimentary reference to Mr. Bryan, tho platform contained the following planks: "We demand that all public utilities be owned and operated by tho public. wo aemanu that all money that is manufactured to bo used in this coun try as a medium of exchange, whether it be gold, silver or paper, shall bo coined by tho government and distrib uted among the people without tho intervention of banks, and that every dollar of it shall bo a legal tender for all debts, public and private. "As long as tho money volumo is controlled by the money trust, which is the parent of all trusts, just so long will other trusts flourish, and, there fore, we are in favor of the destruction of the money trust, which can only be done by the proper increase of tho vol ume of money. We do not lose sight of tho iraportanco of the question of Imperialism, as we regard that as be ing involved In tho money question, for without a money aristocracy to sup port it there can be no Imperialism. "We demand that laws be passed by the state and nation for the purpose of destroying commercial trusts atfd com binations of capital organized for the purpose of controlling prices, and, if necessary to accomplish this end, that the government take charge of their franchises for the benefit of the people. "We recognize that there is a move ment on foot In this country among men who claim to be democrats, but who supported McKinley for president and approve of the policy of tho re publican party upon the money ques tion, to get control of the democratic party, In order that they may control the organization and secure at the next democratic national convention the adoption of a platform which shall be in favor of the gold standard, and thereby attempt to eliminate tho dis cussion of the money question as a political issue, and wo denounce all such persons as traitors to the best in terests of the people, and declare them to be republicans, and advise that they stay with the republican party, with which they have affiliated during the past five years." Threatened Curate Famine. The future of tho Church of Eng land does not look very rosy, threat ened as it is with something like a curate famine. According to what the Reverend Paul Petit, secretary of the ordination and candidates fund, says, there has been a very serious diminu tion in the number admitted to holy orders, this In face of the rapid growth of population. This condition of affairs Is largely owing to the decrease in values of W beetby tm-74 Veers. Vix l)AV CAM and -want morn palcsracn. wf I WfiftT CHriftttME. STAJtK HUKglf, fterk.

Thus, parents hesitate in recommending their sons to study for the church. Young men may readily obtain cur acies, but they may grow old with out obtaining preferment, and tho old er they get tho less their value as cur ates. Thus men who begin life full of hope may find themselves in pain fully precarious positions In their de clining days. Furthermore, many clergymen who would gladly send their sons to the universities to be trained for the church are unable to do so owing to the reduction of their Incomes. Those who are well acquainted with the subject say the only way to check the threatened dearth of curates is by the legalization of old age pensions. An instance of this state of affairs was noted at the Trinity ordination tho other day, when the number of candidates was the smallest known, only one deacon and three priests be ing admitted to holy orders. Truly the -whole matter is very serious. St. Louis Republic. Alphabetical Abuse. The prosecuting attorney in a law suit had waxed especially indignant at the defendant, whom he character ized as an ''abandoned, baneful, cyni cal, diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy, hateful, irresponsible, jaun diced, knavish, lazy, meddlesome, nox ious, outrageous and profligate rowdy." "The learned counsel on the other side' said the attorney for the defen dant, when ho rose to reply, "should have put his adjectives in a hat and shaken them up a little before using. You must have noticed, gentlemen of the jury, that they were in regular alphabetical order. This shows that he 'selected them from a dictionary, hummer Is needed, to lay the rfeoflnsr.
