A Parson on the Press.
The Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth of New
Haven has discovered that the newspa-
per fellows are not such rascals after
all. The doctor is a 'man of independ-
ent and liberal judgment and has occa-
sionally been suspected of heresy, and
many people of course will call his al-
leged discovery concerning newspaper
. men a‘work of fiction, a feat'of the im-
agination. He addressed the Connec-
ticut Editorial association the other
_ night, says the Waterbury Republican,
and he ventured to say of the reporters:
“I have been fortunate in receiving
much support and helpfrom the press,
and my experience with reporters has
been diflerent from the experiences we
hear so many mortals tell about. I
think the cause of this is that a happy
idea occurred to me that a reporter was
a human being, endowed with the same
sensibilities as other men and persons,
who had to make his living in the world
the same as the rest of 11%).; never had
a reporter 5intention‘ally' misrepresent-
‘ me or betray me in anything that I had
, said to him in confidence. I think if
many people would assume an improved
relation toward the reporters they might
not have the same opinion about them
that they now think they have reason ’
to hold.” Reporters are so various and
varied and are so'abundantly equipped
with individuality that it is difficult to
generalize about them; but a composite
reporter would be an alert, ambitious,
persistent, intelligent and fairly consci-
entious man who would scorn to violate
a confidence, whounderst’ands human
nature and who appreciates good treat-
ment,but isn’t disheartened by rebufi‘s.
The man who is frank toward reporters
and doesn’t treat them in a super-silly-
ous manner likes them, and honors
them, even it' he hesitates to subscribe
to Chauncey Depew’s definition that
fame consists in being civil to newspa-
per men.
Dr. Smyth went on to express his
views concerning the secular press : “I.
think that the secular press of New
England has been a great power in ad.
vancing freedom [of religious thought.
I have read a great manyof your New
England journals and have noticed
with keen pleasure their » earnest,
thoughtful and reverential discussion
of religious, questions of the day. A
good deal of advanced Christianityis
due to the secular press. The secular
press has a function of vital importance
in upholding our institutions. After
all, politics does not form so important
a factor in the work of a newspaper as
it would at first glance appear, except
in the heat of a political campaign.
' But take it throughout the year the
number of subjects discussed by the
press is numerous and extended. There-
fore the press has an immense 'function
in the education of public opinion in
things in which we as citizens are most
interested. ” .
This is not only cordially complimen-
tary but judicially just. Newspapers
have faults enough, and nobody real-
izes that fact better than the-newspaper
men themselves ;_ but the tremendous '
influence of the press is usually exert-
ed along right lines. The daily news-
paper is a vital factor in the intellectual
and moral life of the community. It
tertains ; and public opinion is created
and formulated by it. The gublic com-"
‘ments of some clergymen on the press
seem to newspaper men to be unjust
and jug-handledfi; and that fact renders
‘ Dr. Smyth’s generous recognition of
- , what thelpress is doing along certain
lines all the more gratifying to the
' parties at interest.

“This, is the era of rumors. It is
now whispered that President Cleve-
land has recently devoted several hours
to a thorough and conclusive examina-
tion of American history'of the revolu-
tionary period; that he has made up
his mind unalterably that the grounds
set up by the colonists to justify their
. revolution were and are trivial and in-
adequate; and that as a beneficiary of
the unlawful and abhorrent acts of
George Washington and his fellow-con-
spirators, and as a successor of the
said Washington to a government found-
ed upon force, foreign interference and
an imjustifiable' revolt against consti-‘
tuted authority, he conceives it to be
his duty to right the great wrong done
to good King George by his stiff-neck-
ed and rebellious subjects, a crime in
respect to which the government has
not merely been an accessory aftier the
fact, but in’one form or another was an
active principal. It is asserted that
. these views of the President, withheld
. from the American people, have been
submitted in accordance With his habit
to Great Britain’s inspection, and that
her gracious Majesty has been pleased
to signify her entire satisfaction with
them. Sir Julian Pauncefote, h0wever',

t
is, it. is said, oppressed with doubts,
not shared by the President, concern-
ing the practicability of restoring
things in statu quo, and is uneasy lest
the American people in some sudden
and inexplicable whim should refuse to
be thus disposed of, and should resent
the secret trial, conviction and punish-
ment by reprimand and reversal of
previously honored past occupants of
the presidential chair. It is under-
stood that Sir J ulien suggests, in pref-
erence to an American re-cnthrone-
ment of the successor of King George,
the adoption bythe President of a pol-
icy which will cause this country to
pay permanent tribute to Great Britain
as one of its trade and commercial de-
pendants; reversing iu ,England’s in-
terest the reciprocity, subsidy and oth-
or policies by which we were to build
up trade for ourselves in the other
Americas ; breaking down in England’s
interest the frowning tariff barriers de-
signed to protect, local industries ; and,
‘moulding our foreigh’épolicygi‘n accor-
dance with Englishbugg’felitions, to this
end filling the diplomatic service with
republic-‘despising monocled Angloma-
niece, and restoring a_ pro-English
Queen in Hawaii.
Unquestionabl'y this is the era of
rumors. ‘ ‘ '
But seriously, Queen Liliuokalani'
had not been restored when the Aus-
tralia and Alemeda left Honolulu, and
it is safe to say that she never will be
restored, certainly not by the aid of
American bayonets. President Cleveo
land has learned American sentiment
on the subject, and he ought to feel
very much relieved to find that his ad-
ministration has not by acts irretrieva-
bly committed itself to a forcible over-
throw of the provisional government
and restoration of the queen, and that
there is still opportunity for him to re-
trace his steps. It would have been in-
expressibly humiliating to every patri-
otic and self-respecting American if
the representative of the United States
had succeeded, by selecting a time to
threaten when the provisional govern-
ment was cut off from communication
with the rest of the world, in terrifying
,that government into yieldingto the
queen, backed by our'marines. For
the United States to plan this secret
and treacherous stroke against the gov-
ernment which had tendered to us the
islands would be cowardly, pusillani-
mous and contemptible to the last de-
gree; and to" succeed would make the
wrepublic. infamous. The news from
Honolulu is the best of news—an unut-
terable relief to apprehensive and in-
dignant American sentiment.”

Annual~Reunion.
The Congregational Chapel was made
bright and beautiful last. evening by
the happy faces of the members of the
church, who filled. 'it to overflowing.
The occasion was their annual reunion
and roll-call whieh'is always anticipated
with much interest. The ladies served
a bountiful supper from 5:30 to 7:20,
during which time a season of fellow-
ship was enjoyed. At 7:30 the pastor
called the meeting to order, and the
scripture was read, prayer offered, a
brief address made by the pastor, and
an opening anthem rendered by the
choir of the church. During the call-
ing of the roll many letters were read
which had been sent by the absent ones
and these added much to the interest
of the occasion. The church has lost
only four members by death during
the past year, and the average age of
these was over 80 years. .
The King’s Daughters sent carriages
to bring the feeble ones, and this cour-
tesey was much appreciated, bringing
as it .did many of the older members
whose presence was like a benediction.
~ It was a meeting of gladness,_and
grateful recognition of God’s manifold
blessings on the dear church of their
love and their prayers. Additions to
the membership have been received at
every communion during the year and
the present roll numbers 502.
The Reporter Was There.
. There was quite a ripple if not a
wave of excitement on the Wall . street
bridge, Thursday afternoon, the cause
of which was two menand a skifi'.
The two men, one of whom we will eall
Joe Whittlesey for the reason that was
his name, and that he was the “hero”
of the .occasion, attempted to guide a
skiff down the rapids under the bridge.
In some way the skiff got wedged in
In order to start
skifi‘ on to the large rock in the middle
of the river to give the boat a shove
expectingto jump into it as it took
water. He gave the boat a push and
before he could board it the boat shot
down the rapids and out of- his reach,
and all attempts to get the boat back
«to his rescue were unavaihng. And
there stood “Joe” ,on the rock, the
seething, boiling, turbulent waters
rushing by him in their mad flight
finder the bridge and into the_ harbor.
Had he been content to wait on the
rock a few hours he probably. would
have been enabled to wade ashore .with
safety. 'But the air was chilly and the
wind whistled under' the bridge and
through his ,whiskers, chilling him to
the marrow.
After awhile a rope was secured and
one end of it. thrown to him. He man-
aged with chilled fingers to securely

many daughters of rich or well-to-do
parents who are filling positions out-
s1de_ their homes for remuneration.
While the spirit they show is commend-
able, still_ the question arises whether
it is considerate to usurp the positions
that the poorer girl needs, and who
could do the work equally, as well.
It has been said that when on is
talking of what is called “fiirtatign”
which ranges from the most common-
place of compliments to the most re-
fined ot caresses, everything is in the
finest shading, and self-deception is
constiintly .met with. It is thus that
the flirting woman is often taken, and
wrongly so, for what is known as a co-
quette, for there is an abyss between'
the two. Thc first—the irt-—-has an
unconquerable .taste for awakening in
man a hunger and thirst she is never to
appease ;, she plays with him, she “leads
im on for a .While, and, carefully
avaiding the climax, she drops him.
The second pus—the coquette—wants
to be loved in- earnest, but she is‘per-
fectly dec1ded in advance not to love in
return. The flirt, therefore, remains a
most exquisite creature, who asks noth-
ing more than what she gives; while
the ooquette is cruel at heartf—that is,
if she has any heart, for she craves
after the sensatidn of seeing the man
who lovesher suffer. 1n the flirt, there
is something of the fizz in the cham-
pagne ; , in the coquette, there is an un-
shared intoxwation which leaves the
bitterest of after tastes. She always
wants to carry you off upon the road
of tragic passwn, as doing her powers
greater honor; she hates nothing worse
than the piquant familiarity that origi-
nates in flirtation, and which nevei cul-
minates in tears of grief and despair.

buy the old shapes---th ere were
no better. Why, then, carry
the great stock that, a larger
variety of shapes and sizes
would entail?
In clothing we produce
"long,”“stout” and “short” gar-
ments that fit perfectly ; but
underwear makers to wh om we
applied for these shapes said,
“What’s the use ?” or, “It’s
too much trouble for the trifl-
ing demand.” ‘
hey wouldn’t take the risk ;
but we finally had a stock made
according to our ideas. It’s
our stock, not the makers ;
and we’re going to find out .
whethe’r stout and slim men do
or do not prefer underwear
that fits.
Haven’t yet found a shape
so odd we couldn’t fit.
Shall we send you our book?
