Church of the Advocate the subject being True Baals of Catholic Unity as Exhibited In the Churches tn Communion With the Church of England" Bishop Donna says that Catholic unity la not the "unsubstantial fabric of a dream" When tlie bishops In the last Lambeth encyclical need the expression: "The divine purpose of visible unity among Christiana as a fact of revelation" they were simply recalling' and restricting the thought of Otir Lord's high priestly intercession and of the perslitent teaching of 8t Paul that Catholic unity means a real and organic (act It la not ours tn devise the way It la not ours to decide the time but as we long for It and pray for It and will nnt let the longing go nor take some human nubsiitute Instead of It we are hastening tha day and helping the

creeds our common poises Ion and maintenance of the apostolic order our common share In all that le great and good and glorious In the English Reformation our English Bible our English prayer book our

(Copyright 118 by Marquise da FonlenoyJ That Mr Langtry la once mors In high favor with ths future King la shown by the fact that whan at Newmarket the other day the Prince of Wales first of all drove with her to pay visit to ths horses which she has In train Ing at Webb's stable and subsequently was tha star guest at dinner party which aha gmvs in Ihi evening at Regal Lodge her racing bos nt Kent-ford close to Newmarket Regal Lodge In only small place but la moat beautifully furnished and decorated The drawing room and billiard room connect the former being raised by three or four stem from the floor of the billiard room so that 'the drawing room would make fcn excellent stage should ths Lily ever care to Indulge In Private theatrical The dining room la very rheery painted In two tones of greenish blue nnd there la most cosy hall with huge oak fireplace and over-mantel upon which are quite A fins collection of old Toby jug The tlleu that face the fireplace in the hull are very old each tile being different In color nnd having various quaint looking birds depicted thereon Maaaes of flowers are to be seen everywhere with hugs palm tress here and there Indeed of all the racing boxes of the English great world In and around Newmarket there Is not one that can compare In comfort taste and luxury to Hr Langtry's Regal Lodge The Lily hai 36 horses In training at Newmarket including her latest purchases Aurum and Uniform which ahe bought In Australia for 333000 apiece Great things are expected of these two anlniala next year Mrs Langtry Inslata on the strictest discipline being maintained In her stable She Is relentless and unmerciful In casea of neglect of duty carelessness or brutality to the animals and has a keener eye for shortcoming than moat sportsmen Perhaps ths only feminine touch In the stable regulations Is the rule that when aha makes her tour of Inspection each of the lad should be arrayed in clean snow-white Jackets and stand at ths head of the horse of which he has particular charge Today Mr Langtry races alone under the name of and as far as knowledge of home flesh and experience ot the turf are concerned need no partner Indeed she la a wonderful Junge of a horse and the Prince of Wales has repeatedly remarked that It would be well If the Jockey Club were to appoint her ss the official handlcapper no one according to him being better qualified for the post than herself It la not altogether Impossible that execution may some day or other ha given to this project for she has made extraordinary headway with the club since the memorable day when the Prince of Wnlea Insisted on the gates of the Jockey Club enclosure at New Market being opened to her after they had been closed at the request of the wives and daughters of some of the members of the Institution It may be remembered that the Prince offered her his arm and himself led her into the Inclosure on the ocraslon of her winning the Csarewltch race with Merman He calmly Ignored a vote afterwards pasaed by the club reatrictlng the entrance to the Indoaure to the wives and female relatives oTmember and at a subsequent meeting of the Jockey Club urged In hla Impetuous way that Mrs Langtry was a sufficiently conspicuous figure on the turf and was doing enough for English racing to entitle hrr to admission on her own account to the ln-clnaure The Prince carried the day and at present the Jersey Lily la the only woman who possesses this prerogative on her own account Nor 1s there any person outside the club who Is In such done Intercouse with the latter and ao often drawn Into consultation by lta members on knotty points connected with racing It Is probable that If the Prince of Wales had his way he itould secure her election aa a full-fledged member of the Jockey Club Possibly by the time that the older element of the dub dies out something of the kind will be accomplished Mrs Langtry's London home Is a largo and beautiful house in Cado-gan Garden where she entertains lavishly and where even women of rank and social eminence ere to be found In her drawing room Indeed she la rapidly recovering her position In society Mr Langtry when ahe took to horse racing well knew that by so doing ahe could not only gratify that fondness for sport so strongly developed In every English-speaking man or woman but also find a mean of opening up once more the gates of society once widely opened but afterwards tightly dosed to her The winning of a great hone race atones for all aorta of shortcomings nnd the victories of "Mr Jersey" at Newmarket have reused people to forget the long trail of ruin and death In her wak Whatever ahe may say It eannnt be asserted that herfrlendshsveheen lucky Sir Robert Peel Is today bankrupt and disgraced In many sense the Earl of Rnsslyn Is likewise a bankrupt and is forced to earn his living on that very singe which ahe abandoned to take poe-scsslon of his racing stable Abingdon Rnlrd died nodnlly oetraclsed Sir George Chetwynd who Is asserted to be the only man whom ahe really ever loved has been forced to leav the Jockey Club under a cloud and In separated from hla wife the

as follows: ars accustomed to look upon the Spaniard ss a European He la nsl one hs In largely a Moor In blond and much more tn character Ths Moor did not possess hi country for 100 year and leave It as If he had not been then ssjre San Fran risen It Is from him ths Spaniard nf today gets his religious fanaticism his fatalism much of hla srrhltecturs and must his prlds and csremanlaua manner hi social characteristic (appearing chiefly In his treatment of women) his tribal instlncta and want of administratis capacity which have mad it Impossible for the various petty kingdom of Hpaln 'ever to raally unite under one stable government his want of capability nf preparation and finally his hloodthlratlnes which last unhappily cannot bs denied Tbeee are all encouraging algni of the time They tell of the advance of all other lines of Industry For when the railroads are prosperous and demand great accession! to their rolling stock and largely Increase their motive power the advance and Improvement are felt In every avenue of trade Bradstreet'a report for the past week fortunately corroborates what we have elated In the above paragraph Brnd-ttreet'a report says: The buslnem world la entering on the closing month of the year with so many favorable and ao few depressing features In sight aa to leave little doubt that the year MM aa a whole must hereafter furnish the bail for estimates when comparison of largo business are lo be made Nearly all obtainable statistics and reports aa to the volume of buelneea point to the present year having heavily exceeded any former year In the amount of business done' And Dun Co'e weekly review of trade says: "The report of failures for the month of November la extremely gratifying berauaa It shows striking Improvement both in the small and In the large failure and In nearly all classes of Industry and trade" THE I WIXKLIXa STARS When Rev John Jasper of Lynchburg propounded hli startling astronomical dictum: "De aun do move!" those who criticised and made light of hla Important proposition never dreamed for a moment that Rev Jasper's theory would find an advocate in the eel entitle and philosophical town of Berlin that famed city to which the heart! of Germany's wandering ton and daughter turn with sympathetic devotion whenever the thoughts of fatherland arise But such Je the case Parson Xnodk aell known In Berlin for his piety and learning boldly asserts that "the earth does not move around the aun but the sun around the Thu In the language of that other parson who re-klde or did reside In Lynchburg aun do It Is to lay the least a remarkable coincidence and If Rev John Jasper of Lynchburg has not crossed the silent river he will undoubtedly rejoice with a joy not altogether unspeakable that hla theory of a moving aun finds advocacy In a quarter so worthy of consideration But celestial matters have brought about other difference of opinion and have awakened other doubts In the minds of learned colored theorist This time the scene of dispute to laid in Chicago Of course the first thought that arises when the name of Chicago la mentioned In connection with heaven-bodies la that little celestial light ran come from that quarter But the truth must be told even at the risk of meeting with doubt at the threshold of the story Rev William Cowdrey and Prof A Johnson are well known among certain circles In the Windy City One Is known as a theologian and the other aa a scientist' Rev Mr Cowdrey after studying and rejecting the theories of Newton Laplace and other celebrated astronomers aqd scientists of the past and present and after watching the fall of the November meteors determine! that there are no planets and stars at all but what appear to be planets and stare are merely holes In the sky through which the light shines The reverend gentleman does not ask questions about tha aura and the ether" aa Lord Byron did In that mysterious production Cain when he saya: Oh Ihou beautiful And unimaginable ether! And Ya multiplying masses of Increiard And still Increasing lights! What are ya? What la this blue wild ernes of Interminable Air where ye mil along aa 1 have seen Ths leaves along tha limpid stream of Eden? Is your course measured for yet Or do ys Sweep on In your unlmuntled revflnr Through an aerial universe nf emUen at which my soul aches -to Intoxirated with eternity No! Rev Mr Cowdrey did not aak such question Nor did he see with Mary Mapea Dodge that the stars The eternal Jewels of a short-lived night He merely saw Innumerable hole In ths curtain of night through whlrh the light shone from afar But Prof Johnson nnt being practically Inclined and having mar or the essence nf scientific research In hla composition views the planets and the stars In a more matter-of-fact way He merely Inslata that these celestial watchers consist of bodle formed gyration and gravitation and by a concentration of retracted atmospheric matter produced by aerial secretions and centrlfu gaily ejected atom" The New York Bun takes the position that "so long aa Alaska remains recognised territory of tha United States wIRiout Statehood Jhs final status of tha Philippines and of Porto Rico pre-jnt malarial for nothing more profitable than academic Secretary Alger's suggestion that the United Hlalea Government build a military railroad through the Island of Cuba for the benrflt of the business Interests of the Island and to give employment to poor and needy Cuban is meeting with great favor tor leading journals that have come to hind The (Mh anniversary of the accession of Emperor Francis Joseph to the throne of Austria was enthusiastically celebrated on Hatuiday at Vlonna and throughout the empire Much disappointment was felt In Vienna because tha Emperor was absent He had gone to Wallses to visit hla daughter Tha decorations on ths American Legation were more admired than those on any of the palace The betrothal la announced In London ot Lewi Vernon Harcourt eldest inn of Sir William Vernon Harcourt the opposition lender In the House of Commons to Mine Mary Ethel Burn daughter of the late Walter Burns of New York Newport opened on Friday the first telegraphic communlAtlon with the outside world In rig days The storm played great havoc there The boss tower test high on Fir Headquarter was blown over and scores of small vessels were plied up on tha beach Two torpedo heals wars Injured It was the wont storm la 80 years Know shovel statistics and poetry are Indulged In by tha Tammany men of New York while they are waiting forth snow to melt MscDonough Craven a It was learned yesterday says Friday's New York Tribune that the two blocks fronting on Fifth avenue between Ninetieth end Ninety-second streets sold a week ago were bought by Andrew Car nrgle and Charles A Gould president of the National Car Cuupler Co The property has cost the two Investors nrarly 31000000 What they purpose dulng with It Is kept a secret for the present Just as ths identity of the buyera has been from the time the sale was made until the present Among real estate men a rumor which finds' much credence I however that the southern block of ths two that between Ninetieth and Ninety-first streets Is destined for a public building nf some kind while nn the upper block Mr Gould and Mr Car-nrgle will build new homos side by side Mr Hnuld It Is said Is prepared to spend 3100000 on the house he will build and Mr Carnegie's new dwelling will be no less elaborate Neither from Mr Carnegie nor from Mr Gould however ran any hint nt the Intentions of either be obtained at present Mr Gould when seen yesterday while admitting that he was Interested In ths purchase even declined to give the name of the Investor who was Jointly Inlerented with him lie refused also to say what they would do with the property when It was ready though he promised to tell In a few day The brokers concerned however when asked directly If Mr Carnegie wan nnt one of the two purchaser of the property declined to deny the rumor but Intimated that It might be correct Mr Carnegie himself they said was the only person from whom a positive statement must coin He could not be found lost evening The two parcels In the deal contain 30 Into Each has a frontage nf 300 fret on Fifth avenue and about the same depth The lower nn was sold tor about 3430-000 The upper block purchased from oeveral small owner la hclluvad to hare cost rather more Many options have been taken nn neighboring properly on rumora of thla deal and ll Is likely to bs followed by a boom In the district WHAT DOOLEY SAYS (Copyright 1388 by the Chicago Journal) said Mr Dooley got 'em" Again?" aalil Mr Henncrey wllh a faint attempt at a Joke "Ntvrr mind" said Mr Dooley got th' Th' Hpanyurd wltli-dhrew to th' null-room an' lays wan: 'Let'i get through' Hays another: 'I ay oo too If I et another dinner I'd bust What do they want? they take thlm?
