Finest Cathedral on the Contin- ent Will be That of St. John the Divine, New York--What ; the Root of All Evil Did. Special Correspondence tor, No. 1,483 New York, Oct. 13.--Baron Komura, the Japanese envoy to the peace dom- mission, who left us last week to return to Japan, carries with him the honor and respect of everyone who has watched the daily work of that remarkable convention, There is little doubt that he was a very sick man during the entire season, but what- ever his sufiorings were, he bore them with fortitude and dignity worthy of the highest admiration, amd it was not till the mighty task was com pleted and the peace of the world was assured, that his exhausted nature at last broke down and the sudden eol- lapse came which nearly bore him to the gates of death. It has been ru- mored that the baron's return to Japan wow be greeted with the most" frwsing courtesy and perhaps with a turbulent outburst of popular wrath on account of his failure to secure a cash indemnity for Japan's expense and safieving during the war with Russia. The Tokio maleconients never stopped to consider that to add six hundred millions of dollars to the frightful burden already en- dured by the Russian poor, was not for a moment to bo considered. Gold and silver Russia had none to spare; among her hundred and fifty millions lives were cheap was cheaper to fight of subjects, human and plenty; it JOHN F.

The waiving of a cash indemnity by Japan, has received the unqualified approbation and endorsement of the civilized world, and by everyone ex cept' the few ignorant malcontents of Tokio, and a fow other places, it Was considered the crowning glory of the peace commission, The baron leaves us freighted with the best wish es and kindest remembrances of our people and the prayer that fair winds and gentle waves may restore him in health to his island home, where he will undoubtedly receive the thanks and welcome of the mikado in the words of the master of old, "Well done thou good and faithiul--ser vant." I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Bishop Potter, of Holy Trinity, and the Rev. Dr William R. Huntington, of Grace church. for my share of the groat serviee they have conferred on male humanity through- out the world. It may not be gene rally known outside of our city that Greater New York is going to have one of the finest cathedrals in the United States, if not on the American continent, and its title will be the cathedral of Rt. John the Divine, It is expected to cost several millions of dollars, but no matter what it costs, Trinity church has simply money enough to foot all the bills. Bishop Potter is a man of exquisite taste and favors church adornment, believing that no temple can be too good, or too grand for the worship of his Lord and Master. At the en. trance of the chapel attached to the cathedral, two lovely angels were to be placed; they were supposed to be the spiritual sentinels who held the position usually accorded to St. Peter, who kept constant watch on the shining gates afar and saw to it that no umworthy sinners, passed un- bidden to the everlasting delights of paradise. The bishop and the Rev. Nr. Huntington, attended by soveral eminent, divines, wore present to see the inauguration of the heavenly sen. tinels; when the workmen had carefully uncovered them and were about to place the saered figures on their pedestals, they were startled by the sharp and impergtive command of Bishop Potter, who (cried, "Stop!" Blank amazement sat on every countenance, bit no one had courage enovgh to ask what was the matter. They were not kept long in suspense. "Take them away," said the hishop, "Thos figures are not what 1 THE EMLIZED WORLD: ger, but when the female seraphs were well gut of t his face assumed the placid expr of calm and sweet content that usually distinguishes the higher dass of the Protestant Episco- pal priesthood. 1 am profoundly and sincerely gratéful to the Christian ist who discovered the re- ber of males. among the angelic hosts, and a further investigation may eluci- date the fact that there are black an- as well as white; this must be a comforting assurance to out colored brother; although he may not be able the fact till he has passed the veil that divides eternity from time, when he will able to "read his 'title clear to mansions in the skies." We have added a new branch to our naval education which seams eminent- ly proper and in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. The legitimate business of our army and navy, is to fight; we rehearse our sol- diers in the manual of arms, our cav- "alry and artillery have each a special drill, while on our monster battleships our sailors are tanght how to handle those tremendous guns, whose terrible roar sounds like a death knell, and the passage of its dread minister of vengeance through the air, seems to shake the earth to its foundation, and when it strikes, death terrible and merciless reigns unchecked. Ae fight ing was their trade, I 'was not aston ished when 1 heard that thers was going to be a scrap on one of the warships in the! navy yard. It was quite a stylish affair conducted ac cording to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. The officers who could get there turned out en masse. The officers who got up the entertainment and furnish- ed the cash prizes, seemed to enjoy it quite as much as the boys who did the scrapping, It was so satisfactory all around that 1 shall expect to see a number of similar entertainments be- fore the blue birds return in the spring. A family named Hopkins, residing in Brooklyn, had accumulated a comfort- able fortuie by 'honesty and theiit and instead of sitting dowa to enjoy it, they began to quarrel about a division of the property. When they Were comparatively poor they were as happy as larks and a model for the entire neighborhood, but when "the root of all evil" (money) got a foot- hold in that once happy home and money was the sole absorbing interest, then the twin angels of love and peace fled: afirighted from their window nev- er to return and the incarnate devils of hate and vengeance entered in nev- er to leave till the fiends had worked out the story of their deadliest wrath. To understand the temper of these unfortunate people it is only neces- sary to tell the story of their final meeting. It was evident that both sides anticipated danger, for each one had provided themselves with a load- ed seli-cocking revolver as if in anti- cipation of a fight, When the husband entered the room, without a word of provocation, the wife whipped out a revolver and shot him in the hand; he returned fire and killed her. What renders this' case particularly sad is the fact that up to two or three years ago their lives had been one long dream of havpiness and love; the hus- band was fifty-four and the wife fifty- WHAT SULPHUR DOES For the Human Body ia Health and Disease. -- The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when - our mothers and grandmothers gave us onr daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. A It was the universal springy and fall "blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned rem- edy was not without merit.-- The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect, Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con- centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoon- ful of the crude sulphur. In recent years, research and experi- ment have proven that the besu sul- phur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the na e of Stuart's Calcium Walfors. They \are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the active medicinal 'principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef- fective form, Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring -and maintaining . bodilv vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on 'the liver, and excretory organs and puri fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo- lasses every spring and fall. but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flow- ers of surphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of surphur, of which Stuart's Calcium afers is undoubtedly the Best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver "and kidney troubles and cure constipation and "purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike, Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experiment ing with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Caloium was Su: perior to any other form. He savs ; "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti- pation or malaria, 1 have been sar. prised at the results obtained from Stuart's Caloinm Wafers, In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, T have re. veatedly seen them dry up and disap- pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth, Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a proprie- tary article, and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, vet 1 know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liv- er and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin disease us this remedy," At any rate people who are tired of nills. cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers," will find in Stuart's Cal ondered,' "we want male angels and clam Wafers a far safer, more palat- arhacclogist 1 mote ty of there being a num- ee -- = soup or a sauce, etc. ~Q WAC -- ow it improves it. --" f-- EXTRACT OF BEEF, hot water ard seasoning --say The use of ARMQUR'S EXTRACT OF BEEF reduces the fuel bill because 'it requires no cooking.

BROADBRIM. STRICT ECONOMY Not a Feature of Municipal Ad- ministrations. New York, Oct- 14- ~Municipal ad- ministrations in this country, parti cularly in large oities, are not fam ous for their economy and it is safe to say that nobody ever suspected the munjeipal government of Greater New York, to be more economical than the governments of other American citics, As a rule, figures showing the extra Vagance of city administrations, more exasperating than se exept in some few instanc gures concerning the cost ¢f main taining the county jail on Ludlow street, however, are so extraordinary, that even the pessimistic critics of the administration find it difficult to ac- cept them as corrveot, According to the figures submitted by Sheriff Er langer to the hoard of estimate, the ®ost of maintaining and conducting the Ludlow street jail is $100,750 a year, not including the $40,000 which constitute the sherifi's salary. At the present time there are only three pris oners in the jail and, according to the figures their maintenance costs the city over 3%) a day for each prisoner. Once in a while there are a few more prisoners in the jail; but their nu ber has not exceeded nine for over a year. Taking the maximum figure the average, the cost of the prison would be about for each prisoner. Ome of the lo Pers has figured out, that the could save about $4 a day by ing its prisoners, are sational The fi as intaining a day d- each accompanied by a trusty guard, to the St. Regis Hotel and board and lodge them there. The prisoners and their guards could enjoy Inxurieus quarters, delici ous meals. drink champagne with their meals and smoke fine cigars and it would cost the city only ane-haif of what it costs now to keep the few prisoners at the Ludlow street jail -- Tactful.
