TIS IN VAIN that the Spanish de- cial fend their bull fights as “the keroic games” of their an- cestor erated by antiqy The truth fs of da to pal¢ sionals of low Spanish bull ‘ight: ceased to possess anything of the old chivalry when chivalry itself expired, more than two centuries Apologists of the ring, Indeed, claim for date as late ¢ the end 0° “the aristocratic period” a 3 the accession of the Bour- bons in 1770; but as their chronictes are silent concerniag the exploits of the Span- ish nobility tr this regard all through the eighteenth ce tury, there is reason to the date of ‘the accession of the Bour- Dons" its mere sentimental value. The chronicles of che ring begin again in 17 with the name of the plebian Pedro Ro- mero; with the Corrida de Toros in full swing as a mercenary show, and with the Spanish dons content to patronize it in the simple act of paying for their seats. The Sport Degenerated. Romero found the national sport ‘“de- generated” to a simple conflict between 4 bull and a professional-without-a-profes- sion. Apart from the lack of noble Span- ish blood in the bull tighter, the degener- acy appears to have consisted in an ex- change of the heavy armor in which chiv- airy was wont to prudently envelop itself for the cheaper suit of padded leather and shirt of mail of the time and trade. Pedro Romero first threw aside every kind of protection, appearing as a gymnast, light, graceful and exact; and, secondly, to coun- terbalance the obvious disadvantage, hit upon the device of “tiring out” the bull t a whol ries of “preliminary exercises,”, to be performed by understudies. He in- vented also a new and very dangerous method of killing the animal, a single sword-blow, which must penetrate a cer- tain spot behind the shoulder of the bul, while the bull fighter perilously fa How much this was legenerating”™ the prudence of the old aristccrats, who, !n their knightly armor, speared the bull from the backs of their war horses, and hacked at him, when unseated, with their battle axes, is a question rather delicate than Hicult to answer. At His Brother's Death. One of the first experiences of Romero was to assist at the death of his cwn brother, whom he had been training in the trade. It was on the occasion of the crowning of Charles IV. In the royal box sat the king and his y consort, under- neath a of white and_ purple.

In justice to the beast and to the members of the troupe, it should be noted that there were grave irregularities in the combat. In order to give the citizens of | Sevitte a treat the menagement had ar- ranged that the bull, Caramelo, should first fight with a lion. An immense fron cage was placed in the center of the arena, and a caged alley was made to unite it with the gate by which the bull was to enter from the stables. The bull trotted | down the alley to its junction with the great cage of the combat. Here he stood, inspecting the lion, until the latter, with a roar, jumped at the bull's shoulders and stayed there for a moment with his jaws fixed in the flesh. He might have stayed there longer had not the bull thoughtfully jammed him against the side of the cage, slodging him. “Hurrah for the Spanish bull!’ the people cried, and “Burn the lion!" Then the bull caught the lion on his horns and began bumping him against the ceiling of the cage. The blood of the two beasts covered the floor, and soon even the bull appeared to have enough of the recreation, for he dropped his enemy and backed down toward the alleyway. Cry- ing “Burn the foreign Hon!" the people then turned to its owner—no other than the famous Colonel Boone, well known to circus fame throughout the world—and yelled at him abuse, accompanied with showers of oranges and flights of empty soda-water bottles. Vainly the gallant col- onel prodded the lion, already half dead. The lion refused to fight, and it was then ior Spanish valor to take up the combat for him. His I. this way ‘ent Mistake. Jose Rodriguez committed the mistake of his life. The time taken up by the removal of the cage made it nec- essary, in justice to the other spadas on the program, to hurry up the secondary teasing of the bull. Supposing that the lion had already sufficiently fatigued him, Rodriguez attacked the buil almost imme- diately. And Rodriguez fell, to the great pain of 18,000 Spaniards present. In some way they blamed Coionei Boone and he Was saved from violence only by a hur- ried flight. Cucharez, left by Providence to console the people, then became the greatest man in the peninsula. Generous, brave and reckless, a thousand exploits are still remembered to attest the grandeur of soul of Cucharez. It was he wh» began the tradition that a great bull figater should never take change while out drinking. He would lay down a bank note and tell them to Keep the schange. That meant -his foliowers should drink it out. It is sad, therefore, to think that he was to be killed in such an out-of-the-way place as Havana by a South American bull who understood nothing of the ways of chivalry. , To go to America” has always been the climax of the Spanish bullfighter’s career— “America” : meaning, naturally, Cuba and South America. A few years ago I heard thein teasirg Frascuelo, saying: “What you ought to do is to go to America; but you are afraid to cross the water.” The champion answered them magnificently “It is not that. The thing that bothers me is to leave my good town of Cordova. Once on my travels, I will not only go as far as America, but even to Rome!” remarkable career of Manuel Dominguez had muck to do with Brazil, where he of- ficiated at the crowning of Dom Pedro I. Forced to flee from Spain at the end of a violent quarrel with his rival, Juan Leon, whose dagger he dreaded, Dominguez triumphed from Havana to Montevideo. He became the idol of Rio Janeiro, and only left that grateful capital in flight from a jealous husband, a great dignitary of the court. Then bad times fell on him, until he was obliged to exercise the mean trade of cowboy, or vaquero, in the neighborhood of Buenos Ayre: Learned New Ideas. It was in this employment, neverthele that he learned the use of the lasso and- it would secm—a certain leaning toward humanity; wherefore great commotion was destined to be raised in Spain ard Portugal. In a word, Dominguez returned to the old world and his old trade with new ideas. On Ignding in Lisbor. he instituted a new species of bull fight, in which neither bulls nor horses were to be killed. It appears have been a sort of Wild West show, displaying the skill Dominguez had acquired with the lasso, his superb hersemanship and the agility and address of the members of his troupe, half of whom were Indians. His success was immediate and complete, the Portuguese, naturally hostile of blood combats, according h'm an ovation from the start At once all the toreros of Spain took fright. They said to themselves that the new show might strike a fatal blow at their profersion. “But, happily, it was all for nothing,” exclaims an historian of the ar . “and the grave school of Seville had ely time to draw up a formula of ex- communication against the daring trregu- lar when he was forced to give up his rev- olutionary lasso for all time. With a bull's horn in his eye he fell in the arena ef Santa Maria, with him perishing his diabolical heresies. Two Powerful Namen, During the past twenty ars two names have been all-powerful the peninsula. Rafael Molt and Salvador Senchez (Frascuelo) have done for their trade wkat John L. Sullivan did for the fighting business in America. ‘They refused to fight for the comparatively small pay of their predecesscrs, and by reason of their popularity were able to make extraordinary terms with the Spanish public and impresarios. The profession is grateful to them today, now that they are in their old age; and they are still calle by courtesy the two stars of Spain, Lag jo, in particular was always a ferocious . insisting that the public should s full of blood and excitement. The man the present writer ever saw ed in the ring belonged to Lagartijo’s troupe. in y Sanchez (called Lagartijo) It was a great day at Madrid, tn 1892, just after Easter Sunday. Six horses were already lying dead in the arena; but a seventh, the last one wounded by the bull, as still living. Lying on kis back, his four legs in the air, he struggled di ately to get up. When he at last suc ed a lamentable tacle Was presented. Dragging behind him a red rope of bleed- ing entrails, the unhappy animal began the execution of a sickening gallop around the ring. Every now and then he would stop and feebly kick into empty air. Then, tak- ing up again his fantastic dance, he utter- ed painful eries, until his forces gave out and he fell. “Bravo toro! Que bonito! cried the people in delight, “Viva! Viva el toro! Anda! Anda!’ Beside me a young and pretty woman plucked a tuberose from her hair, kissed it and threw it to the bull. The Men's Turn, “Now,” said a man behind me, “don't lose a single movement of the bull. He has finished wita the horses, and the turn of the men fs going to commence.” Irritated by the red cloaks of the capeadors, the bull began to charge on them in all dir tions. But he could ne get at the nim- ble fellows. Now and again he would fall jon the dead he . in the fury of his rage, and rip them into strings of skin and fiesh, until the people began to grow {mpatient, calling out picturesque imprecations on thé president of the meeting. “Robber of a president! Loafer! Bandit! Why are you holding back the bandertlleros on that African cow? understand nothing You The. about bull fights! Burn the president! Al | rev. Dr. W. 8. Rainsford of New York will fuego el presidente!” They wanted more fresh blood. They desired to see the ban- derilleros harpoon the buil and set of fire- works in his shoulders. The president of the meeting responded to thes> insults with a tranquil smile. When he was ready he threw down his handkerchief, the signal. Four young men leaped into ‘the ring, each holding two short, gayly-decorated spears. As the bull charged on them each would plant a spear = his flesh and slip aside with grace. Good! Hurrah for the banderil- called the crowd. Maddened Bull Charges. Crazy with rage and pain, the bull danced around the ring, his tail straight out, his nose in air, and wriggling in vain his shoulders where the spears were. Two with fireworks in them had been lighted, and they burned him. He began to bel- low, and his movements were as quick as lightning. Then al! at once there was a great clamor all around. Thousands in the audience rose in their seats cursing and yelling. In one part of the ring there was a great dust. And socn it was plain to see that a handeriilero had been caught and tossed. Then there was a moment's silence, while the bull, carried onward by his fu- rious charge, was gouging at a dead horse on the other side of the ring. The wound- ed man lifted himself up, made a few straggling steps in the direction of the gate, raised his arms in the air and fell on his face. After the dead man had been carried out the great Lagartijo advanced to the presi- dent. ‘Senor presidente,” he called to him, “I demand your authorization to combat that bull. One of the two of us must die!"” “Go on!" the president replied, with a benign smile, waving his hand gracefully. “Hurrah!” the people yelled, “Death to the bull!” The bull was waiting with head down lew. His bloody shoulders were trembling and his two front feet dug dep into the dirt. The unhappy banderillero, immediate- ly forgotten, ceased to ery for vengeance In the hearts of the peopl2. They admired in turn the man and bu! ou are both charming,” cried the wemen. “Go ahead, brave fellows!” yelled the men. Reast Knew His Enemy. Lagartijo advanced to the bull with short steps, and the bull began to back. Was the beast afraid? Or was he tired? “Slap him with your flag!” the people called to Lagartijo. But the bull, as If to avoid that insult, made a sudden dash upon th> man, who did not slip aside too soon. One horn had ripped the lace front of his shirt. Then you could not help admiring this man La- gartijo. In vain the capeadors would try to distract the bull’s attention from him. The beast knew his enemy and charg2d on kim incessantly. The red capes were flying here and there, the corner of the ring b2- came a mass of confused color, with the bull, glistening with blocd and sweat, con- tirwally flashing through it; but at each momentary pause we could see Lagartijo standing calmly in his place, saluting the now frenzied spectators. Twice he succ2ed- ed in wounding the bellowing brute, who would not be tired out or hold still for a death stroke. It was growing late. The dusk was falling, and a lot of bats and swallows began flitting here and there across the open space. “Bravo, toro! Bravo, Valenciano!” cried the people. So the bull was saved. His exploits had touched the hearts of these good and sensitive Spaniards. They gave him his life. He disappeared behind an op2n gate. And Lagartijo was applauded just the same. STERLING HEILIG. IN THE CHURCHES A Salvation Army camp meeting has be- gun at Mount Airy, Md., and will continue until Monday, Augrst 8. Among the dis tinguished leaders who have promised to attend are: Consul and Commander Booth- Goo leros! Tueker, commanding the Unitel States forces; Lieut. Col. R. E. Holz, national colonization department; Brig. William Halpin, national junior soldiers’ secretary; Maj. and Mrs. Pebbles, commanding scuth- eastern division; Maj.

Core, the song queen; Cadet A. Andrews, the min- sirel, and many others. Every meeting. of which there will be several daily, will have a special feature. The subject of these are consecutively: “The — Spanish-American War,” “The Franco-Swiss War," “The In- gian Story,” “Woman's War,” “Sorting the tuff,” “The Twentieth Century,” “I Will.” Rumdom, Bumdon and Sluméion,” “The Ghost Mceting."” Booth-Tucker Day: ““Auc tion Sale of Children,” “The Burning Ques tion,” “Instantancous Salvation,” “The Last Charge.” Rey. Father Gillespie, for so long pastor ot St. Aloysius parish, who a few days ago left the city for ancther field of labor, was, before his departure, presented by some of the young mean of the church with a travel- ing valise and handsome shaving and toilet set, Inclosed within a handsome leather cvse, as a token of esteem and remem- brance of his many eminent qualities and his loyalty to thelr cause. Many pastors of churches, officers of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Ep- worth Leaguers, Young Men's Christian As- sociations, Good Templars, Sons of Temper- ance and other church workers are earnest- ly urged to copy out the following petition at the head of a large sheet of paper, se- cure as many signatures as pos: and send in at once to President McKinley, that the great evils of the canteen system may be abolished before the war has pro- ceeded further. The President has been appealed to on the subject, and it is stated that he is disposed to consider favorably all protests and petitions regarding {t “To the President of the United States: “Whereas, the so-called army canteen system, professedly designed to keep our soldiers from the temptations of saloons cutside of camp, hes, in fact, resulted in bringing the saloon’ temptation directly within the camp, exposing thereto many thousends ef young men carefully nutured in temperance principles in Christian homes and churches, and “Whereas, the amount of liquor consum- ed (the sales often averaging from $100 to 3200 a day to a canteen) threatens reriously to injure the military efficiency of our troops and to cause widespread demoralizu- tion on the return of those troops to peac ful life, and “Whereas, leading army surgeons declare the use of alcoholic liquors of any kind to be extremely dangerous to the health and stamina of our soldfers campaigning in a tropical climate like that of Cuba, there- fore “We, the undersigned, do hereby respeet- fully petition that you will, to the extent of your authority as commander-in-chief of the army, forbid the sale of intoxicating liquors at all post and camp exchanges, or elsewhere within the lines of the armies of the United States.” The convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, to be held in Baltimore at the end of September, is a national, not an interna- tional, gathering and its date was named to immediately precede that of the general convention of the vrotestant » Episcopal Church at Washington in order to enable bishops and clergy who come to Washing- ton but who have never attended a cor vention of the young mer of the commun- ton to do so this year.

There are also the great names of Francisco Montez, Juan Nunez, Jose Baden and Juan Leon; but the career of one is almost the career of tho other, with the exception of the manner of their deaths. Leon and Nunez were kill- ed in the ring, while Montez and Baden led of old age and both wealthy. For that matter it almost seems that the Spanish bull fighter has but these two ways of quitting the world. If he does not give his life in his efforts to gratify the ferocious Spanish public his hardy training and tem- perate living promise him a green old age of brag and materia! plenty.

Information has ben received in this city that seven church mfssion boards purpose to take up active work in Cuba immediately after the Spaniards are driven out. These are the Southern Baptists, who have long had work in the islands; the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, the General Conference of Free Baptists, the United Brethren in Christ, the American Church Misstonary Society (Episcopal) and the New York and Indiana Yearly Meetings of Friends. Three boards will undertake work in Porto Rico and are ready to go there just as soon as General Brooke is in control. They are the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Epis- copal Church South and the Southern Bap- usts. The last named will be assisted both in Cuba and in Porto Rico by the Ameri- can Baptist Home Mission Society, which represents the white Baptists of the north. Three contemplate work in the Philip- pines. They are the Presbyterian Church ef the north, the Methodist Episcopal Church and the American Baptist Mission- ary Union. Congregaticnalists will take the Caroline Islands as their field. An-agree- ment has been entered into by which each board will appoint two commissioners for each field it proposes to enter. Three com- missioners are now collecting information about their respective fields. Such informa- tion is to be common property among the boards, and early in the fall another meet- ing of the conference is to be held to defl- nitely map out and assign different parts of each particular field. Their aim is to send to these fields a united and not a di- vided Christianity. Reports from Camp Alger state that a great revival of religion is in progress there. This is due largely, it is believed, to the efforts of workers from various organ- izations, among them the Central Union Mission of this city and the chaplains of the various regiments. The 70,0) members of the Lutheran League of America are to go for their tenth anniversary to New York, where the league started, and they expect’ the largest num- ber of delegates in the history of their five conventions. Not only so, but there are to be present Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and half a dozen other nationaliti¢s from the northwest, where the Lutherans are strong. It Is one of the purposes for which the league exists to unite these many-tongued Lutherans, now unhappily divided, not so much on doctrinal as on grounds of differ- ing temperament. The league also seeks to increase the number of English-speak- ing congregations, not by converting Ger- mans and ;the rest, but by helping to or- ganize congregations for the rapidly in- creasing number of English Lutherans, These conventions have had words to cen- tralize the thought of the gathering. The word for the approaching October conven- tion in New York is to be “Labor.” Com- mittees are already at work upon details of convention entertainment.

It is to have, also, in ad- ition to its educational work, carried on by the distribution of pamphlets, a bureau of information on sociological’ subjects which will indicate sources of tn. formation for clergymen, editors and college students. Some of the men who are behind the new movement are Bishop Pot- ter of New York, the Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden of Columbus, Ohio, Rev. Dr. Chas. H. Parkhurst, Rev.

The league will lose no time in getting Into active work, in which it fs assisted much by members of the Christlan Endeavor, the Epworth League and the Baptist and Lutheran young people. The corner stone of the new St. Mary's Catholic Church, Marlboro’, was laid Sun- day last with impressive ceremonies, Large numbers of persons from Washington were present. The visiting clergy were Bishop A. A. Curtis, Rev. Thomas J. Kenney of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea, in Baltimore; Rev Charles Damer of Holy Cross, Baltimore: Rev. John A. Morgan of Loyola College, Rev. James Gardiner of White Marsh, Mr. J. J. Knell of St. Mary’s Seminary, Balti- more; James R. Whecler, president of the Catholic Soclety of Baltimore; Mr. Kenney and Mr. Trinkaus of the same city. The corner stone of the old St. Mar: Church was laid in 1820, and was attended by the Jesuit Fathers from Georgetown, D. C., and White Marsh-Collington, Prince George's county. Rev. Father Miles Gibbon tad charge of the parish. This building was crected to accommodate the growing Catholic residents, who attended mass in the Hill Chapel, on the banks of the Patux- ent river. It was soon found that the edi- fice was inadequate, snd the wealthy land owners built several additions to the church, so that their many slaves could attend divine service. Then the Dominican fathers, headed b Rev. Dominic Young, a native of Prince George's county, took charge of the congre- gation and held the same until 186). By a gift of land from Mrs. Eliza Graham, near relative of Governor Graham of North Carolina, a large tract of land was donated to the chureh, and the Carmelite, Rev. Theodore McDonald, built a novitiate a short distance from St. Mary's and had supervision over the parochial duties. Early in the seventies Rev. William Hoo- man of the Josephite Fathers of Baltimore took charge of the mission, and when Car- dinal Gibbons was made archbishop of Bal- timore Rey. Father DeWulf was made pas- tor, assisted by Rev. Joseph A. Cunnane. ‘Then it was that the secular priests took charge of the Marlboro’ parish, and Father Cunnane remained its pastor for eighteen years, to be succeeded by the present rec- ior, Rev. Charles J. Trinkaus. Dr. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E Strect Baptist Church, leaves on his vacation next week, to be absent until Septem- bed. During August the pulpit will be supplied by President Menefee of the Washington College*'the first and second Sundays, and by Réy. James L. Dairs uf Pottstown, Pa., the other Sundays. There will be no preaching service in the evening until the first Sunday in September. After, preaching in his own pulpit in the morning Dr. Muir will preach at 5 p.m. at Glen- earlyn, Va., and at»7:15 p.m. within the lines of the 7th'*Ohio Volunteers, now lo- cated near Dunn Loring. Rev. George A. Dougherty and Mr. Hor- ace Snyder are,expected to arrive next week in New York by the Star line steam- er Westerland. They have been in Enrope for the past two months, and have visited Rome, Naples, ‘Veniee, Geneva and the chief ‘cities of Switzerland, Germany and France. ted “ Lieut. T. J.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer. - It is not generally known, but it is none the less a fact, that profanity is for- bidden by both the. army and the navy regulations. Any soldier or sailor who does not like to be sworn at has a right to make a complaint, and the offending officer is subject to trial by court-martial. As a atter of fact, however, swearing in time of excitement is not uncommon, and it ts not infrequently the only kind of talk which has any influence. It is, therefore, notable that some of the greatest com- manders in our army and navy have been distinguished for the moderation of. their language. The story of Admiral Farragut's one oath at Mobile Bay, when he said “D— the torpedoes! Go ahead full speed,” is familiar, and now comes a story about General Grant. It was told by Gen. John P. Hawkins in answer to an inquiry as to whether Gen. Horace Porter's state- ment that General Grant never swore was true. General Hawkins replied: “I never heard Grant swear but once, and that was at Shiloh. Coming across a body of sol- diers in retreat, he swung his horse across the road, and, with indignation shown in every feature, flourished his sword and cried: “Go back, you d—d cowards, go back!’ It seems possible that this story is true. It took something in the way of an exhibition of fear to make such men as Farragut and Grant swear. AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Monday.
