In the twen Washington, May 22. ticth century the tone of life in Washington hap become less natural, social condition have changed, and for the worc." With these word the Right Rev. Bishop Satterlee of the Episcopal church began an address at the ninth annual convention of tbe diocese of Washington to day In which he sethe Watilngton'a verely criticised smart set," Condemned In unmerciful terms the practices of society and declared that modem society ia lacking In spirituality. Bishop Satterlee was formerly pastor of a fashionable New York church and knows society also. Continuing, Bishop Satterlee said: Dangers have arisen that the nineteenth century Washington noclety was free from. A simplicity pervaded the social atmosphere; men were classed for what they were, not for what they professed. "In the twentieth century tbe tone of life in Washington has become less have conditions natural, social changed, and for the worse. New rest dents of a wealthy and leisure cluss who hold no responsibility for the welfare of the community create Eense of careless irresponsibility in our citizens. They have false ideas and made a social pleasure tbe business of life Tbelr influence percolates to all classes and saps the foundation of character. For various reason Washington ia Inclined to become more and more attractive to person of wealth and leisure. Whatever local obligations bind them through home ties and associations to the places from which they come here they are as free as every American feels when visiting a city in Europe. Irresponsible wealth, with its false Ideals, it dilletantism, Its glorification oi pleasure and beauty, its luxurious style of living. Its tendency to make amusement and social engagements the chief business of life Is always, as past experience shows, an influence which brings about moral degenera tion, for such social condition! sap the foundations of real Christian manhood and womanhood and honeycomb the robustness of character. The Democratic simplicity of flje nineteenth century is a thing of the past. Instead we have the smart set 'rough set and fast set,' attrarilng and exercising abnormal attention enormous influence and giving an iu terwnstional rspjtal line to Washing ten. which is unhealthful and dangerous. The diocese of Washington occu pies a unique position in the American church. It la a witness of Jesus Christ in the capital of the country and represents the primitive church. Besides it must he in full sympathy with the various Protestant bodies, to the belonged whose ancestor Church of England." The convention opened by a celebration of Holy Eucharist In Epiphany church.

Still, Ihe fact that the exist cnee of honor In man has imi.p to be called in question roatains a threat, which 1 significant. Our national honor has been little vaunted of late. Our commercial ia a sore subject. Our professional honor stands hightwi, but even it has been assailed. And aa to honor In politics, no one expc t it of us. Ijoely a politician In high repute, an of many governments, the hero of many a hard won doliate, was describing to me some electioneering antics in which he had lavn engaged. and in the enjoyment, of hia subject he hurst out with the assurance that, of course he had lied; he had to lie, or he never would have carried bla Kiint. it ia not inan'K honor, but his dishonor that calls for comment every day , The early life of a woman of my time, cast out Into the world, as wsb the custom, without ptfiwratiim, her faith In man and no suspicion In her soul, waa apt to lie darkened by disillusion. I know not how it may affect a boy, but the first shock of proof that a man can lie is a thing from which a girl never recovers 1 mean n girl who haa been brought up in the There are still tradition of honor. some such. In the rise of the boy, it may be that the system of education at. tiur public schools, by which a hatred of learning la Implanted fur life In the breasts of the majority of the pupil, may also be subtly calculated to destroy all Inconvenient sensitiveness on the subject of houor. aa a practical means of fitting the boys for success In any career by robbing them at the out set of an encumbrance. To hear men talk is lo think ao nometinies. levity Is the pone of tbe wnnld-- l wit. of today, and the tone or the subject of honor tend to sink low enough to he tained by levity. In modern fid Ion heroes and heroines are often made to lie as a matter of course, and the reader Is not expected to think any the worse of them. In the daya of Dickens the badge of honor was the unsullied word of hero and heroine. Even In conversation men may lie heard nowadays taking credit to themselves for having lied successfully on occasion, a thing that would not have linen tolerated In general society barely a century ago. Doubtless In those days there were men enough who dishonored their word, but when they dhl so they held It a lape, nol an evidence of smartness, and kept the matter to themselves. There was still in them at that time the saving grace of shame. An evidence of the rhange of tone in this respect came to me first from a man of mark in his own time, a Roman Catholic convert, anient in his devotional exercises, devouring to the full, with keen aesthetic fervor, the emotional possibilities of his religion. We were discussing a point of honor, and he argued hotly (hat a man is not dishonored by a lie, so long as he does not hear false wiiness. In all this there Is an Indication of danger, yet such statements make for misrepresentation when unqualified, being true of individuals only, not of the nation at large. There are dishonest politicians, dishonest capitalists, dishonest tradesmen, and a small clique of smart rogues of Isith sides conspicuous In society; but these people are the scum of their various classes, who have risen like scum to the surface, ami there become conspicuous, attaining an unenviable notoriety, not by reason of their merits, but for want of the solid qualities which might havs secured fame for them in more desirable places. The nation Is not to be tried by the standard of decadent peers and unucruiiuloiis capitalists. Tbe parvenu, on his promotion, his wealth made by methods which will not bear Investigation, Is not our typical seif-maman. We have still our hereditary gentlemen. In whose old families the tradition of honor has been handed down unsullied to the present time; and we have our great representatives of honorable commerce, whose careers are proudly quoted in evidence of what a man may rise to. by honest means, la a free country. Titles originally Indicated what was expected of the bearer, and with us honorable and right honorable are the most ordinary of titles. Honor Is tbe health of a nation, and honor is still our national Ideal. It has been no vain tioast from of old that an Englishman's word is bis bond, and English women will see to it that It does not erase to be so. i .

That iu winter umo Vladivostok is an iee liouud burlier is beside the question, as powerful iee breaking vesM'l have been pro v idl'd and kept atationed there, which an capable at all times of keeping a clear passage seaward for the ships. Ilcuidcs, since the Russians have built a breakwater at Port Arthur, that harbor has fro.eu up regularly In the winter time, so that the two port are on all fours in that respect, with the added disadvantage for Pori Arthur that the station there is as yet without the (Wkyard and naval arsenal that. Vladivostok possesses. Vladivostok came Into Russian hands in lSthi as the result of a very smart stroke of diplomacy by the Russian minister at Peking, li wax not, however, fortified until 1877, and then only on a very small scale. Nothing more was done for nearly ten years, umil 1S)7. when General Ignited, governor-general of Eastern Siberia, set s lo work to make the place one of imixirtance In view of the large and Important increase of the Russian Pacific Fleet then being carried out. The old flotilla of small cruiser hitherto maintained by Russia in the Far East was to Im replaced by armoured ships, gtiiilMiHis, and inrcpihi-houtK- . Elaborate fortifications were now con-s- l meted, and liatlcricK erected, and UoKxacka colonies were settled in the n Ar-i:i:i- r. do-p- first-clas- neighlKtrhaad. General lgnatleff did his work thor. and arrangements were carried out to make Vladivostok the headquarters garrison of an army corps of 40.000 troops of all arms. A visitor to Vladivostok In 19904 says the place then had the aspect of a growing city in the American Far IVest." But," the writer pmcecda, the flavor if mililarism ovcriiowera the suggestion of the American Far Weal. The first building on Ihe barren coast are military hospitals and barracks, and hsrrarks thick a the city is approached. The dull roll uf artillery and commissariat wagons, the tramp morning and night, of hrown battalions, and continual throb of dram and blare of trumpet and bugle rerall one to the fart that thia la the csplial of Russian's aspiring Pacific Empire. Not satisfied that enough had been at Vladivostok, In 1897, after the e war, new forts wera built there, as pPial Vladivostok Fortress Infantry. Corps" of five battalions (5,00 men) was raised, to bn permanently quartered .there, with Fortress Artillery and Sapper companies, and a torpedo and aulimarino mining detachment, bringing up the standing garrison of the fori res to 7.00 men, in nmnd numlicrHl a considerably larger force than our own oughly (hino-Japanes- garrisons or Gilnaltar or Malta, In also. !; million roubles were set aside for lb- - t i elision of the port. At Ihe pi'i I'li'.o Vladivostok possesses miu large Mining dock. 02 j feet long by Iju wide, amt Jo feet deep on the sill m the ont ranee ai high water spring tides, capnablo of taking the biggest Russian battleof ships ami cruisers, constructed granite, and completely equipped with the most modern appliances. It was begun in the lime of General IgnalielT, anil look seven years to build aud complete. There is also a floating sectional dock, "ui feet long, with a depth of from 18 feel to 2 feet on the sill, capable of repairing small cruisers anil vessels up to about 3.0uti lous. A second large dock is still under const ruci ion. The barlHir Itself Is as fine a one as the llamoa.e at. Plymouth, which it somewhat resemble in general appearance. it is completely with hills crowned with powerful forts sheltering and commanding it on all sides. Coming in front the sea, the harbor first runs for three quarters of a mile northward, and then turns eastward foa mile and a half. Dundiis Island commands the fairway off the entrance, and faring Dundy Island tile high ground ot Observation Mill, the l.Hik out station of the port, gives a clear view seaward over a wide sweep of approach.

Fifty years ago he would have been called an infidel, but we have softened our aiieerh in some ways. Now, although he was an agnostic and really knew nothing of a future life, he was the editor of a live paper and he bad to observe tbe llnws and seasons; therefore, when by lh calendar he saw that Easter was near at hand, he determined to get up an Easter number, sparing no expense to make It something that would appeal alike to art lovers and to the multitude. But, although the editor was an agnostic, It Is not to be understood that he was a bad man. This is not a fablev where everything is told in symbols, and where all the characters sre types. He was a good man, a kindly man and if men got Into heaven by good deeds alone (and there are thus who soy they do) this agnostic was certain of a happy Immortallly. Can you Imagine a more pleasant surprise than for a man to die an agnostic, after a well spent life, and to awake a celestial being, knowing for a fact what he had all his lire doubted? Among the rorps of writers there was a young Hindu with one of those names that rouse laughter among tbe unthinking. In the office where he was cordially liked he was called Dan" for short, and that name will do as well as his own. He was a word poet, and he handled tbe English tongue with an com that many an American envied. Tho Hindu was also a good man, although that la neither here nor there. He could project himself Into a aub-Je- ct until hia whole being waa saturated with it and he had written a Russian story that more than one Russian expert attributed to Turgenleff. He could do anything in words and he eould weave you a story of the Norse mythology and set it forth In a dmss of brighter colors than would have hen possible to a man of Scandinavian Imagination. So when the editor mas casting about for the proper person to write him an Eaeter allegory he turned naturally to "Dan." And he sent for him and said to him quite seI want you to writ me sn riously: allegory about the Resurrection. I want aomethlng that will appeal to churrh people. Nothing theatrical but simple and human. You understand?" 1 understand." said the young Hindu, and then be went to on art gallery and looked at those pictures that would help him and after that he went to his lodgings and cast himself upon the floor and gave his imagination free play for an hour and then rose and wrote the allegory In an hour and then wrote It once again and after that he let it alone for he knew that every added touch would take something of spontaneity from it. So he brought It to the editor, who read It through and said quite seriously: "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. Tbe allegory having been written it remained to have It Illustrated and had some now for one tlie editur thought of the fitness of things and he said to hlmaelf I must get a Chria-tai- n to illustrate thia, and he railed his artists In aud said to each one la turn Are you a Christian? And It was astonishing the answers he received. Most of the men growled uut a negative; some blushed and said nothing, but none gave an affirmative answer until he came to a young Catholic, who said modestly, but In a manly tone, "I hope so, sir." "Well Michael, you wont he able to Illustrate this story as it Is entirely out of your line. I want a iflctnre or the Resurrection, and the public would think It sacrilege If your pen, which la always associated with comic work, should do this. I guess they would sir," said Michael. Well, then I'll have to get one of yon men that aren't Christians to do it. Then one of the artist spoke up and said: Well, we may not b Christians, but we aren't anything else. That la we used to go to church when we wera kids. Thats so." aasente d several. , But." said the editor, I don't think any one of you con do the kind of work that will fit the story that 'Don' haa turned in.
