Frank Green, Paper Merchant, Lon- don'a Hew Lord Mayor, He Will be Knighted and Expected to Spend Much If ore Than His Salary Enter. Hobility. A Beal Oake Made Mayor of Old Madrid. Death of the Somewhat Lively Bishop of Mende.

London's new lord mayor, wftto enters upon the duties of his office on Not. 9 next, rejoices In the name of Frank Green, Is a rich and prosperoue paper merchant and a member of the Council of the Royal Geographical Society, which latter distinction todlcoites that he Is not only a (highly-educated, but also a much traveled man. He took a leading part an providing London with the new tower bridge, and as euoh ought by rights to have been knlg'hted on tube occasion of Its opening by the prince and princess of Wales. Aa he is a widower the honors at the mansion bouse will be done by his eider daughter, Miss Kathleen Green, who has atihfleved some little fame as a minor poetess. He differs, however, from some of his predecessors in being essen tially a city iman, without any social pre tensions, and toas made his home until now in the extremely unfashionable northwestern district of London knorwn as St.

John's wood. As lord mayor he becomes ipse facto a general of militia and admiral of tbe port of London, as well as chief judge of that ancient metropolis. Besides these offices he becomes invested with a num ber of other dignities, from which I must not omit ae mastership of the city hunt. a mere UtuUar ditInetton, since the City park Is no longer In existence, lie receives a salary' of 50,000 a year, coupled with, large allowances and an official furnished residence at the mansion house. Burt he is expected to spend not only bis full salary and allowances, touit ait least $50,000 more of his private means in maintaining the traditions of hospitality and eplendor of the chief magistracy of London during bis year of office.

The city provides toim with a sword bearer, a mar shal, a prothonotary, a librarian, a train- Dearer and an sorts of other officials, and while in office he is entitled to be addressed as "my lord," usually receiving etcher a knightihood or a baronetcy from the crown in order to signalize his tenure of the chair once occupied by "Dick" Whktington, one of he earliest and most famous of tbe lord mayors of London. The new lord mayor being a paper manufacturer, it la only right and proper coat ma two an anus should owners of newspapers. The senior sheriff, Walter Morgan, owns the Iron Monger, Che Chemist and Druggist, besides being a director of the Hudson Bay Company. while the Junior sheriff, Joseph. Larwrenee, cur Manchester snip canai ceiennty, is not only part owner of the Saturday Re-view, tne ixmaon illustrated Black end units and the Manchester Courier, but is also president of the English Linotype Com pany so that what between sheriffs and lord mayor tne lourtn eetate wirs -be represented In the city of London gov ernment is The opening year or tne new century.

While on tbe subject of mayors I may mention thai tbe new mayor of Madrid is tbe duke of Santo Mauro. a wealthy granoee oi ancient lineage, wno nas until now only been known as a man of leisure and as devoted to sport. He Is a member not only of the leading dubs it Madrid, but likewise at Paris, where he forms part of the Jockey and of the Union, while he is president and founder of tbe new Automobile Club in the Span ish capital, inaeea, ne is so aevotea to his autos, of which he has half a dozen, that it is reported In Madrid and in Paris that bis sole object In undertaking tee auties oi mayor ox toe spaoteh metropolis is to be in a position to that the ill-paved streets of Vhe capital are frat in a proper condition for outo- motDu-Mng. Through tbe death of Mgr. de Baptl-f oiler, bishop of Mende, tbe ITench church loses one of the most picturesque of rta prelates.

His usual comp anions during his rides were Coauelin's cadet, tbex grand old bonseman, MacKenz4e Grieves, who was one of the best known figures In Paris. General de Galllfet, In fact a very gay crown. Cardinal Ricnara, arcxtbisnop of fans, and virtually the primate of the French cburcb, strongly opposed tne sportive abbe's elevation to the episcopate, alike at Rome and at Paris, arguing among atber things that It would be Improver to make him a bishop, as bis horse had run over one of his parlsbloners. But this argument did not appeal to Leo XIII, and the very opposition of the cardinal convtiDJced tbe French gove.Tnncnt so strongly that the abbe must be one of their political sympathizers "hat they insisted on bds being made a bishop.

To their dismay rney round too rate tnat they were completely mistaken in their man, and that tbe new bishop, Instead of being their friend, was one of tbe bitterest foes of republicanism. Indeed, tne Assumptionist Fathers, about whom so much was heard connection with the DrerfuB case, bad no better friend or champion tban this sporting prelate.

The Saturday evening teas are beautiful glimpses of home life that come to the weary Jack Tars, after many days of journeying by sea; they also serve to keep him from the evil Influences of bad associations and drink, which is the besetting sin of so many seamen. Christmas time is especially the fete to which the earnest of the ladles' auxiliary is directed, and often the memory of the little comfort bag that comes as a Christmas gift bearing within not only all that Is necessary to the sailor's comfort while sailing the briny deep, but also a tender message which will keep his heart warm with kind thoughts and holy aspirations, has Eroven the one beautiful influence that as touched his 6onl since he left home a.

The meeting was largely attended, as Indeed have been all the meetings since the 1st of September. The clouds which hovered over the onion and the Temperance Lunchhouse have disappeared. When It became known that the lunchhouse. which was the pride of the local union, was In trouble, with commendable seal the members rallied to the call of the standard-bearers, Mmes. Bothlck, Spear, Shove and Riley; with accord all set to work, and In the space of a few weeks all was bright and serene again, and affairs, as evidenced by the meeting and reports presented yesterday, were never in a more prosperous condition.

All of this was cause for rejoicing, and the members met with light hearts and renewed determination to stand by the In stltutloa which represents the great principle for which the union was organized the preservation of young men from the corse of drink-Mrs. S. S. Shove, president, opened the meeting with prayer; Mrs. Bothlck read a scriptural lesson, and then the regular business was conducted with celerity.

It was decided at the meeting to Inaugurate a movement in behalf of the young working women of the city. Many of these girls come to the temperance headquarters at noon and bring their luncheons; If there were a coxy corner where they could rest, ad lnterum It wonld he a positive boon to these weary workers: so the ladles decided to arrange a "Rest Corner," In the 5 npper rooms of the building, where the young ladies who work In stores and offices may find toilet acessories, a nice, comfortable lounge, a good- rocker, table' and writing materials and reading matter with which to while away the noon-; day hour. The "Rest Corner" will be arranged Immediately. -V. It will nil a much-felt want among the bread winners of.

This end has been attained, and the union and lunchhouse look forward to years of earnest and successful endeavor, whose fruit shall be laid up in heaven. New Bands of Loyal Temperance Lesions. Speaking of temperance work reminds one that two new bands of Loyal Temperance Legloners have recently been started In New Orleans.

These bands are the result -of the faithful efforts of Mrs. Elisabeth Booth Barr. One has been formed In connects with the "Lighthouse Mission," corner of i Lyon and Annunciation streets; the other In Jackson and jfchoupltoulas streets, In the neighborhood wbere this mission first held out Its beacon light. The bands number twenty and" fifteen, boys and girls, and one meets every Saturday at 4 p.m.. and the other every Friday at 4 p.

m. The bands are for children; from -the seeds planted In these young hearts tne taoies nope to spreua me work among other children, so that tba row tli of temperance mar be marked in the-r next two decades. The meetings are most interesting; tney are not religious In any sence of th.e word, that is sectarianism does not enter Into the work, the idea being to win the world for Christ Irrespective of creeds. The little ones meet and slug temperance songs, and listen to the sweet temperance lessons which are always lnter-epersed wltfa good and useful stories having this moral: "Look not on the cup when it Is red." Alice Zable, who, for so many years, was president of the local union, has sent Mrs. Barr two beautiful silver medals to be given to the child In each band who shows the deepest Interest In the work of bringing other children Into the who is perfect In attendance and deportment at reunions.

Tbe children are very much in earnest, and It Is beautiful to see them meet, each wearing a tiny knot of white ribbon pinned above the heart. Mra, Barr conducts the temperance legion meetings. In the Bewing school, Whlcn nas Deen mauguruivu in with the Lighthouse Mission. Miss Carrie Clark, who works with Mrs. Barr In this self-sacrlflcing labor, conducts the classes.

These classes are largely attended. The Lighthouse Mission noias nigniry meetings; these are for older folks. Miss Rarr. Miss Clark and Mr. W.

Heller conduct these nightly gatherings. They begin with the singing of hymns, and this is contiucd for half an hour: the iinn. nt th mission la left ODen and the light Is set without, so that all who wish may enter In. As soon as a good crowd Is gathered there is a scriptural reading and short talks on Christ, the Savior of the world, and It any Christian present ps Ires to relate his or her experience they are at liberty to do so. This is done for the edification of others.

The mission 1 cosily fitted up ana tne warmth within Is the Index to the earn est and faithful Christian hearts, whose utter self-sacrifice must meet an abundant reward In the harvest of souls. A Summer's Experience at Har -rard University. Miss Georgle McCay, one of the most talented of the corps of professors of the Upper Girls' High School, returned recently from Cambridge, whither she went at the close of the last school session In June, to follow the course at the Harvard University Summer School. This Is the leading school for teachers In the United States. Miss McCay desired to pursue the English course with a view to method work.

The re sults of her work will be felt in the higher work of her department in McDon-ogh High School No. 2 this term. Miss McCay Interestingly yesterday of ner summer experience at Harvard. She said that Harvard had this great advantage over most summer schools, that it was accessible by Bea. She made the sea voyage in preference to the trav el by rail, for this gave a perfect rest of five days, to mind and body.

This was so much gained, Instead of rushing tnrougn Dy ran ana entering at once upon a season of heavy work after the ceaseless toil of the school session. The summer school begins about July 5 and lasts for six weeks. It endeavors to accomplish for its pupils the work of an entire session in this space of time. There were tsw summer students at Harvard this year, irrespective of the Cuban teachers. There were men and women from all Darts of the country and from Canada.

Indeed, ebe said. Harvard seems be a general favorite with the Canadians. ine system or co-education is pursued in the summer schools, though not in the reguiaT college sessions of Harvard; uaddiirre college being t-aoecially set apart (for the women students. But this year, owing to tbe presence of such a large contingent of Cuban teachers. Harvard College trail 41 nB were thrown open to them, and the strict college life was in a measure Interfered with: Rad- oLiffe College and Its emlendld library was at tbe disposal of the summer pu pils, ana tine was a Troon tinat nas not before been granted at the summer scnooCfl.

tne classes began nt 9 o'clock, and tasted till 11. Tbe remainder of the day was spent in the libraries, Hi preparing tbesis and the lessons for the next day. Tbe students were required to after a reading or lecture. Instead of being required to tell ox their impres sions of the same, the professor would say: "Write a story or essay about some thing which you aw on your way to school this morning-, or something which you "have just noticed in or about the college grounds." The Idea was to develop the powers of observation and to bring out original-sty of thought and quick work in composition. The essays were read by the professors before the til asses and publicly criticised.

Tne work of the cession was most earnest, and It was surprising bow much could be accompli an ed by faithful sya- teimntk; effort. A feature of the closing session were the examinations.

There the students have the advantage of the superb library, thougb Harvard itsefif bae one of the finest libraries In the world. All around Cambridge are places that must Are the American heart, so full are they of historical Interest. During tbe term there were weekly excursions to all these points, one of the Harvard assistant professors accompanying the students to point out places and tell their stories.

This curfew means that all cbtldiren under 14 years of age must be in their homes; If they are Obliged to be out they must bave a note from their parents to ibat effect. Tbe Jaw, she says ia admirable, and' has made a model township of cbildren. Sbe never saw better behaved boys and girls: they are all fond of reading, it seems, and in the libraries one meets children by tbe dozens tecting books and reading quietly and Interestedly.

In addition to the fine public Ubrarles, the summer students at Harvard cnay draw books roai that splendid library. They are allowed to take three books home at a time. In Cambridge, strange to say, no Indorsement Is required wben taking books, from tbe public Ubrarles. One rxf tbe xnost interesting features of the season at Harvard this term was the presence of the large body of teachers from Cuba who bad come over by Invitation of tbe president and faculty Harvord to study American methods of teaching. There were 1300 of these teachers, men and women; they were the xnost derLghted and interested people one ever met, said Miss McCay.

The Cuban teachers' department was separate and distinct from tbe Harvard summer school. The people of Cambridge vied with one anotber In making the time pleasant for tbean. There were receptions and literary evenings, and muslcales and excursions galore; a week the Catholic Association gave a reception In their honor in Hem-en way Gymnasium. Harvard.

These re ceptions were most enjoyable. There were few, very few, students invited outside of the Cuban teachers wbo were Invited, bat Miss McCay hud the pleasure of receiving one of these apecial Invitations. She aUao attended one of the dances given in honor of the teachers of Cuba. There were a number of American dances, "but the majority were dances. The band played Spanish music and Cuban melodies.

Mies McCay found these heavy. and the dances were not as graceful as our American dances. But the Cuban la dles and gentlemen seemed to enjoy them very mucin. Ail the ladies ana gentlemen wore the American drees. Tbe ladles seemed fond of parading an aigrette In the hair and using a great deal of powder.

But for all this she learned from professors in charge of the classes, that they were very, very brigbt men and women, even those who seemed most de generate rrom zmxtur or txiooo, ana learned very rapidly. Perhaps it waa because ther were so eager to learn, every thing seemed to interest them; they took notes, and their memories seemed to serve tnem wen. The people of Cambridge were constant ly planning excursions for them: every afternoon there was something done for their entertainment by the iiarvara board. They spent money freely, as all received their salaries during the vacation months, and they seemed desirous of purchasing everything in the way of American souvenirs. Aall their expenses, including ooara and tuition, were paid for by the Harvard board.

She then went to Boston and spent three weeks, her desire being to study methods In the Boston high schools.

The schools were just organizing, but she was received and shown every courte sy. She had the pleasure ox hearing Prof. Thurber conduct a class; he is the area show teacher of tbe Boston high schools, and his methods were indeed admirable. It was in the West Newyon High School, and the lesson was on "The Hymn of the Nativity." It was a lesson that one could not easily zoTget. Miss McCav also had the pleasure of meeting Prof.

King, wbo, It will be remembered, came to New Orleans some years ago and gave a course of lectures on "How To Teach Geography." He is the principal of the Dearborn Grammar School, and has under him four schools. numbering 2000 pupils. A subject that interested Mcuay very much were the movable school- houses which are to be introduced into Boston this term. She thought she would see schoolhouses on rollers which wonM be moved from place to place, and. having expressed a desire to see one of these Innovations, she was taken in charge by a party of educators and Inducted Into their mysteries.

She found that instead of being erected on rollers, tney were portable buildings which were erected in sections, and could be taken down and put up at will. The object Is to have these scnooinouses an tnrougn tne overcrowded school districts to relieve the crowded conditions. Wherever the necessity arises there a schoolhouse will be taken and out up in a second; tbe great question to be solved Is In the heating, DUt. saia Jiiss you may trust tne smart Yankees to solve that problem satisfactorily.

In an article contributed to a London Sunday paper, "John Strange Winter, who has been living for many months past In Dieppe, compares the French to the English cook, rather to the detriment of the latter. 1 Tn the French kitchen," she saysn "there is no waste. It would seem that the French mind does not run to waste or revel in It, as the lower class English mind Invariably docs." The French cook will not only do a bit of the housework, but she will do it cheerfully and as a matter of course.

"You cannot buy your French cook too many pens, and hex soul loves copper In her kitchen.

The Spectator pleads for a return to the fashions of our forefathers rn the matter of syrups and cordials and different floral food stuffs.

Next to roses the most popular of flowers seems to have been the cowslip. Winter Work of If ew York Clubs.
