eludes some of tho greatest scientists of tho
United States, and, In Its non-resident member
ship, 60IU0 of tho greatest scientists of tho world.
Thcro are botanists, astronomers, ornitholo
gists, and, in fact, scientists of all kinds and de
iscrlptlons, to bo found nightly in tho great,
sweeping parlorB of the club's quarters. There la
just as much hospitality and Jollity in tho club
us are to bo found In the rooms of any social
organization in tho world and learning besides
there, also. In order to bo a member of tho Cos
mos club you must havo something besides
money and social standing. It la probable that
thcro nro many members of other organizations
in Washington, who would bo willing to throw
their memberships Into, tho deep sea, If tho net
would buy for them admlttanco Into tho club
of th'ese scientists.
Tho headquarters of tho Cosmos club nro In
tho old "Dolly Madison" residence. It was tbero
that tho widow of President Madison ljved and
held social sway for years after tho death of her
husband. During tho Civil war, for a time, Admi
ral Wilkes lived In tho Mndlson house. It was
Wilkes who took Mason nail Slldoll-from tho Brit
ish steamer "Trent" nnd thereby nearly brought
on war between tho United States and Great
Britain nt a time when such a war might havo
insured ulttmnto victory to tho Confederate arms.
Tho biological survey or tho United States
government has lost tho services of Dr. C. Hart
Merrlam, who for years was tho survoy's chief,
nnd who In tho early days worked so hard to
malto thoservico what ho succeeded in making it,
one of tho most useful departments of govern
ment. Dr. Merrlam has accepted tho direction of
tho Harrlman Foundation for Zoological Re
search. Mrs. Harrlman, tho widow of E. H. Hnr
rimaa, tho grent financier and railroad man, has
carried out tho wishes of her husband, and has
est aside a largo Bum of money to bo used for
purposes of zoological study.- Acting unquestion
ably in lino with her husband's wishes, Mrs. Har
rlman requested Dr. Merrlam to take charge of
the work.
It Is probablo that tho former chief of tho bio
logical survey Is tho foremost nuthorlty In tho
United States in matters pertaining to certain
linos of natural history work.. It was Dr. Mer
rlam, more thaa aay other man, to whoai Theo
dore Roosovolt wont for ndvlce about tho scopo
of his expected work In Africa. Tho doctor and
tho colonol havo boon friends slnco boyhood;
when la Now York stato both wero pursuing bird
studies and exchanging letters on general sub
jects of nntural history.
.Thcso words about Dr. Merrlam and tho Har
rlman Zoological Foundation lead one to toll a
Btory about tho lato financier, which perhaps
will throw somo light on a aide of his llfo con
cerning which most people probably know little.
Ono year ago last winter I went houth from
Washington, bound for Augustn, Ga., with a
friend. E II Harrlman's prlvato car was at
tached to tho train at one of tho stations on tho
way. It happoncd thnt my friend was a close jier
sonal acquaintance of Mr. Harrlman, and ho was
invited to dine with tho financier on his prlvato
car, and was told to bring his frload with him,
provided the friend would like to como.
Thcro wore soveral mon of lnrgo a.Talrs at
that little dlaner party, ono of tho guests being
tho president of ono of tho greatost railroad
systems In the world. Tho conversation, natu
rally, was about big affairs of tho financial world,
concerning which I know very llttlo, nnd I am
freo to confess, cared much less. After hearing
a good deal about certain things concerning
which tho discussion was moro or leas unlntolll
glblo to mo, 1 voatured to break iato tho conver
oation nnd to toll Mr. Harrlman that I had such
of tho Journals or tho "Harrlman Alaska Expedi
tion" as nlready had boon published, nnd more
over, that I hnd rend them.
For tho noxt two hours I had amplo evldonco
that E. H. Harrlman cared for something besides
railroads. Ten or twelve years beforo ho had
PSmSYLVAWA AVOWS -LOOKING EAST ROM TREASURY
nr rn dtm rjT
taken a company of naturalists to Alaska with
him as his guests. Ho had had a delightful timo
with tho scientists and they had profited much
in a knowledgo way by tho trip to comparatively
now llehls. I round that Mr. Harrlman wns keen
ly Interested In birds, trees, Bhells, flowers,
Btones and mammals, nnd that ho know and ap
preciated naturo in all Ub rorms. That was tho
only tlmo I over saw E. 11. Harrlman, but from
what ho said during tho two hours and a halt
r.iient In his car that winter night I was not at
all surprised when I found, out that ho had pro
vided a fund for zoological research.
Across Lafayotto Bquaro, duo west from tho
Cosmos club, Is the vncant Decatur mansion.
This house was built by Commodore Stephen De
catur in tho year 1S19, and it was from Ub por
tals that he went forth ono year later to moot his
death at the hand of .lames Barron, also a naval
officer, who had challenged Decatur to a duel. It
Is American history and tho circumstances nro
known to all, but It might bo said that it wh
Barron who wns In command of tho United
States ship Chosapeako at tho timo It was over
hauled by tho British ship Leopard and searched
for nllogcd deserters from tho British navy.
' BookB havo beea written about Lafayotto
square but tho Btorlos that nro told about tho
men whose statueB nro In tho Bquaro, and about
the men who Ifvod la tho houses surrounding it,
nro cndleas, and not all of them, porhnps, havo
found their way Into print. Tho Btatuo of Lafay
otto was erected at ono corner of tho squaro not
long after tho statue of Androw Jackson had
been put la place in tho center of tho square,
provided a squaro can be snid to havo a contcr.
Lafayetto visited America in 1825, and even to
day ono hears occasionally of some living person
who romembers his visit.
Not long ago thero died In Chicago, at her
homo on Elm stroet, tho agod Mrs. Davidson.
Sho was born in Charleston, S. C. Hor maiden
anmo was Aacrum; Bho wbb n granddaughter of
Col. William Washlngtqn, n first cousin of Georgo
Washington. It was William Washington who
at tho battle of tho Cowpons fought a hand-to-hand
fight with Colonel Tnnloton of tho British
forces. Colonol Washington succeoded la cutting
off tho thumb of Tnrloton's sword hand, nnd
then thero was interferonco which separated tho
combatants.
Lafayetto was a strong personal friend of Wil
liam Washington, nnd when ho vlBlted Charleston
In tho year 1825 ho was a guest at tho Ancrum
resldonce, Mrs. Ancrum, tho mother of Mrs. Da
vidson, being a daughter of Colonol Washington.
Mrs. Davidson, then a child six or eight years
old, remembered tho visit perfectly and kopt
until she died a present which Lafayetto had
given to her, tho grandchild ot his old rrlend and
comrade In arms. .
Thero is no statuo of Washington la Lafayetto
square, though oao day thero may bo, for it Is
said to be posBlblo that Aadrew Jackson may ho
put elsewhere and Georgo Washington mny tako
his placo. Tho nearest physical approach, so to
speak, that ono gets to tho first president, In La
fayette square, is In tho Whlto Houso, which
rronts It. It may not bo generally known that tho
Whlto Houso wa completed beforo Washington
died. It wns only a fow days beforo his death,
as Washington tradjtlon has It, that Georgo nnd
Martha Washington walked through tho recently
completed Whlto Houso, to give their approval
or disapproval, ns It may ho, of tho urrangement
of tho rooms. It Is possible that that visit to
tho capital was tho last ono which tho Father
of his Country made, for it wnw only a short tlmo
afterward that ho died at his country beat, Mount
Vernon.
Hefcrenco to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the ract that thero Is living In Washington today
an aged man named John Lane, who is tho only
living pcrhon who over saw Georgo Washington.
Now, inasmuch ns the Father of his country died
111 years ago, this may scorn to bo somothlng
protty cIoho to a falso statement on Ub faco, but"
it Ib tho truth nevertheless.
When John Lane was a small boy tho driver
of a stage that ran between Washington and
Mount Vernon ushed tho lad If ho wanted a ride,
ami tho answer wa.i a hasty climbing up to tho
r.eat of houor by the drlvor. Tho boy mndo tho
trip all tho ' way to Mount Veraon nad arrived
thcro Jnst mi they wcro removing tho body of
Washington from tho old tomb to tho now on?.
In order to inako certain that tho remains had
not beoa tampered with by ghouls who aot Ion 7
before had broken into tho old tomb, tho coflln
wns opened and John Lnno, aged ton, was lift d
up to ook on tho fuco of tho Father of his Coun
try. Mr. Lnno todny Ib tho only person who

Suggestion and Practical Thought.
This la one of the most beautiful and
touching of tho parables. Poetry,
painting and tin drama have combined
to give It an nxriptlonal hold on thu
Chtlstlan Imagination. The weird
pathos or tho btory la unspeakable
Tho occasion Is fo happy, the agent
ho Interesting, the Isbiio bo tragic. Tilt
story la a picture of an oriental wed
ding. Among tlio?o friends of the bride
who waited to Join tho procession wore
ten virgins. While I hey wero waiting,
tho time of the prooesrlon being ever
unknown, they became drowsy and
slept In peace, knowing that tho shouts
and ctles of the coming ciowd would
awaken (hem In time. They had no
nnxloty; the wlae, because they hnd
faith and wero prepared; tho foolish,
by false security nnd by Ignoring the
future.
Tho ten virgins had to wait till about
midnight, when through tho still air
cuno shrill nnd clear "those peculiar
shrill, quavering cries of Joy, called
Zugarot, which are hoard throughout
the east on occasions of special re
joicing (See Hev. 19:0-9.)" And they
heard tho cry; Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Tho wlso vltKins trimmed and re
plenished their lamps with tho oil
which they hnd thu forethought to
bring with (hem.
Tho foolish found their Iamp3 burned
out, but they had been too cnrolesa
to bring extra oil with them. They
begged oil of tho wise, but they hnd
none left; nnd ndvlRcd tho foolish to
go to thu sourco of supply where they
should hnvo gono carllor. While they
wero gone, tho procession reached Its
destination; thoso who wcro ready
went In to tho marriage fcatlval. And
tho door was shut. Like Esau tho
foolish virgins camo too lato for tho
blessing. They had thrown away tholr
opportunity.
Tho Lord was soon to dopart by tho
wcy of tho cross. But ho prnmUcd to.
return. Ho enmo back In tho resur
rection. Ho camo In tho coming ot
tho Spirit of tho day of Pentecost. Ho
camo at tho destruction ot Jerusalem.
Iro is coming in glory at tho Inst day,
when his kingdom shall como and his
will bo dono on earth as it is in heav
en. Every crisis of our lives, every open
ing of opportunity, every crlslB of tho
world or the church may bo called In
its degrco a comlns or tho Lord whoso
provldcnco Is over nil. (1) Tho com
ing Is something or the greatost value
and blessing. It Is llko tho wedding
festival, full of tho best or life. Even
in tho subordinate comings nnd crises
or our lives, thcro Is nlwnys a door, an
Invitation, to something better than
wo have had. Even death is a gato to
heaven. (2) The tlmo or tho coming
is always unknown, for yo know neith
er tho day nor tho hour wherein thu
Son of n cometh.
In Whnt Way Aro Wo to Watch!
Tho company of watchers was divided
Into two classes, the wlso and the
foolish. Tho.equallty of numbors has
no bearing on tho proportion of pep
sons in real lifo who aro wlso or
foolish.
Tho lamps signify tho outward pro
fession, and the possibilities. All had
some light, thoy had religious fcollngs,
thoy were moved by tho Influences of
tho Holy Spirit,
Tho oil is tho spiritual life, tho
heart, which is tho sourco or tho flame,
tho vlslblo manifestations of the
Christian spirit. "But this significance
was shown only by the burning lamp.
Thoso who took vessels of oil, a per
manent supply, wero thoso who had
tho living reality of that which they
professed, who put Into practise, Into
character, that which shone forth from
their lamps.
Those who took no supply of oil
had a surfaco feeling, llko tho seed
pown on rocky soil, which sprang up
qulckiy and endured till persecution or
troublo nroso (Matt. 15:5, 6, 20, 21).
Watchfulness consists In being pre
pared for ovory emergency, and every
duty, as tho wise virgins watched by
having their lamps continually burn
ing, and a full supply or oil to keep
them burning.
And the Door Was Shut. The oppor
tunity camo, and the gift in Its hand
was gained or lost. Theto camo a
time when it was too late to change,
This Is a fact of nature, as well as a
truth of tho Word. Thero Is a ten
dency to fix tho character, bo that one
will ot change In tho mlssusu' of
tho body thero comes n time when It is
Impossible to ward off disease. We
ihut tuc door against ourselves. No one
but oursolves .3 to blamo Tor our not en
tering. Wo shut tho door by ncgllgonco
to bo prepared to enter.
'Jongresman Wlso of Virginia, In his
address on Lincoln, said: "Abraham
Lincoln had neither tho learning, tho
experience In public lire, nor tho social
advantages ot William II. Soward.
Nor had ho the political training, the
polish, or tho skilled weapons of de
bato possessed by his great antag
onist, Stephen A. Douglas. What ho
had was a lalth which know no vari
ableness nor thadow of turning, nnd a
purpose that ho boldly announced at
tho outset nnd never nbaudoncd under
any discouragement. "It is a mlstnko
to Bay ho was an unlearned man'."
