Spiritualist Camp Meeting Society Votes Change of Name—Fewer | Members of the Faith Now in the Cottages. A special meeting of the Connecti- cut Spiritualist Camp Meeting associa- tion was held Friday at New London. The meeting was called for the pur- pose of voting on the proposition to change the association’s name to the Pine Grove association One hundred and fifty-three votes were cast, those who were unable to attend sending their proxies. There were 119 for and 24 agains the proposition. Steps will therefore be taken to change the name lezislative authority. One advant- derived by the change, it is stated Dby officers of the association, is in em- wering tne Pine Grove association give regular w nty deeds in real estate transfers, something which could not be done under the previous organizaticn, and had therefore proved a detriment in & number of ways. The vote cast is considered signifi- cant by cottagers of the grove. It dem- onstrates the mew policy of the more recent summer residents who do mnot believe in Spiritualism. The striking out of the word “Spiritualist” shows rapid falling off of the older exponents of the faith, and demonstrates that the colony is rapidly becoming more of a summer resort than a camp meeting place of Spiritualists, for which it was originally intended.

Pond of Woonsocket, S r’ ‘&" B estingly. The Political Genius of Willlam M Kinley was the subject of the inter- esting address by Rev. C. H. Ricketts at the campfire of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. R, Friday evening in the Buckingham Memorial. There was a large attendance, including members of the post the various auxil- faries, and all enjoyed the evening’s programme. Commander Orrin C. Price presided and presented Mr. Rick. etts, who said in part: William McKinley first took up the | service of his country when as a school teacher he heard the call to arms. He gave up his school and en- listed in the most illustrious regiment which ever entered a battle. The greatest of the great men in that body of 100 was Willlam McKinley. One cannot find a sreater regiment than the one which turned out this gov- ernor, congressman, president and martyr, mighty in moral force and intellectual excellence. He was not of the dashing, daring type. but his was the calm, patient, equipoise and stal- wart manhood that would unflinching- ly face certain death at the order He was bound to rise, for ascendency has ever been stamped on talent, by the hand of God. He had no unusual advantages, but rose by the sheer force of his moral and inteilectual worth. He left the army a major. A Convincing Speaker. After leaving the army for a short time he studied law and then took up its practice. His tenacity of purpose, tireless capacity for work and sterling integrity soon made him a marked man. He was not widely read, doubt- less due to his lack of early advan- tages, but the United States has turned out no great man who has stored up such a vast fund of useful information. No man in congress ever showed the ability to produce the right idea at the right time and to drive it home with guch a mighty thrust as did Wil- liam McKinley. He had been in con- gress but a little time before he be- gan to make his mark there. As a speaker he exhibited full rich reson- ant tones; he was not an impassion- ate orator, not a man to elicit tears and cheers from the crowds, but his words were words of conviction. He never attacked a subject of which he was not (he absolute master. The was not particle of mud in his eech and above all he had the abil- ity to make his audience see and un- derstand clearly. He became the lead- of his commander. H. Ricketts on The Political Genius of ; —Lo.s-.&..ic.m W. A.

He was the biggest committee- man the country ever saw, for no man had such power and influence, and ‘was so completely the master of com- {nitlee work as was William McKin- ey. Belioved in Home Industries. William McKinley today would prob- ably modify the tarif, but from his standpoint and under the conditions no man could have handled the tariff question more ably than did he. His principle was America for Americans and he worked to develop the manu- factories of this country to supply every demand of the people. Why send to England or France or Germany, he sald, for things which can be manu- factured just as cheaply and well by our own people? He was a high pro- tectionist and was not ashamed to state his stand at any time. He loved the country and wished to raise it to the highest commercial importance. The only difference between the land of Virginia at $10 an acre and land in Pennsylvania at $49 he said was development and it was ever his pur- pose to make the soil pa to develop it along the lines that Providence had made possible. The richest fourteen years of his life were passed in congress and during his term in the Whi expressed a desire more in the house son ths he was more congress than any other which the country has had. Not One Great Strategic Blunder. Some people believed that McKinley was not big enough for the presi- cy and that he was not capable of ing the great problems of the nation, but he never during his admin- in accord with president istration committed a single great strategic biunder.] Let devoutly thank God for the contribution to this country in intellect, morals, and personality in the last martyr ident, William McKinley. d pres- Interesting and _entertaining re- marks were heard from L.

The EDWARD KIRBY three_members_of the board of relief are Edward Kirby, Patrick E. Mc- Laughlin, and James W. Blackburn.

About five years ago Michael Byrne's wife died. At that time his home was in Norwich. For a little over a year after his w 's death he continued on the stage, and then disappeared. His fam knew where he but his friends did not. From time to time Mr. Byrne would be seen in New York, where he went to visit his daughter. He did not visit his old theatrical friends, but kept to himself as much as possible. His visits were but of a few days’ duration. Then he would disap- - again. When friends met him on wne street and ‘mquired about what he was doing he would evade their ques- tions. Last summer he came to Baltimore to visit his son, who is a graduate of the University of Maryland. While in Baltimore he visited few of his old friends and kept away from the thea- ters. He called on John T. Ford at Ford’s grand opera house. Mr. Ford asked him about himself, but outside of telling him that he had retired from the theatrical business he was very careful not to discuss his plans. From Baltimore he went back to St. Fran- ces’ academy, where he now is. Mr. Byrne has alwidys been a devout Catholic. The death of his wife was a great biow to him. His children were all grown, and he decided to dedicate his life to religious work. At first he thought that he would enter a monas- tery. but he thought that By entering the priesthood he could do more good. Mr. Byrne is 54 vears old.

An achievement in editorship and bib- lography of which even the most in- dustrious of German scholars might be proud is to be placed to the credit of Dr. Edward Arber, whose death by ac- cident a few weeks ago makes English scholarship the poorer by one of its most learned and productive represent- tatives. Edward Arber was born in Lon- don, Dec. 4, 1836, served as a clerk in the Admiralty from 1854 to 1878.held a lectureship on English at University College under Professor Henry Morley from 1878 to 1881 and from 1881 to 1894 was professor of English at Mason College, Birmingham. Since 1894 he has lived in London as emiritus professor, being also a_ fellow of King's College, London. He has also been English ex- aminer at London University and at Victoria University, Manchester. But his chief service to the world of letters lies in his series of “ English Reprints ” (1868-'80 ), whereby he hasenabled the general public to gain easy access to an accurate text of early English auth- ors that were formerly accessible only in_rare and expensive editions; his “English Scholars Library " in six- teen volumes; his “ English Garner,” in eight volumes; “British Anthologies” in ten volumes, and a series begun five vears ago and entitled “ A Christian | Library. ” He also, unaided, edited two ‘monumental English _ bibliographies, “A Transcript of the Registers of the Stationers’ Company, 1553-1840." and “The Term Catalogues 1668-1709, with a Number for Baster Term, 1711 edi- ted from the quarterly booksellers’ lis Ir all these, and in other productio not mentioned here, Dr. Arber showed full meesure that peculiar variety of the scholar’s taste and that dogged perse- verance to which our reference librar- ies owe not merely a debt too vast for measurement, but as one might say, their very existence The Kai Prince Henry of Prussia, who is pay- ing a private visit to this country, is almost as well known to people on this side of the German Ocean as his prother the kaiser.
