Anton Lang chief actor of thu Oberammorgau Passion Play, has been killed In tho fighting tn Chumpugne. It is an announce ment that will bring pain to tho heurts of thoiiHunds throughout tho Christian world. Probably no other soldier's deutli In tho tronches of this barbaric war will causo us wide re gret among ncutrul pcoplo aa tho death of this good man who was chosen from among thousands to take thc part of Christ in tho Passion Play because, of bia rout likeness to the Savior, or ratiier to tho generally ac cepted imaginary likeness of Christ which bas been painted by the mus ton; for hundreds of years. It ls said that Lang was au holy mun and that he always tried to fol low tho virtues of the Savior. Our understanding of the matter ls that tho man selected to tako thc part of flirlst in the Passion Piny ?B choBon both because of lils likeness to tho Savior and MB nearness to tho life that the Son of Cod taught his fol lowers to lead. In other word?, Lang waa choson for tho part because ho looked like thc Christ and because In bia pcrsonui lifo ho came as' near emulating the Savior as it is pos sible for man to do. That this mau has boen dono to death In tho trenchen and that ho will no more be aeon in that Impressive pageant of Oboram mergau, will bring Borrow to hearts of thousands of pcoplo. through tho civilized world who havo journeyed to this little villago back among tho mountains ot upper Barvarla to wit ness thor wonderful performance. As the fiendish slaughter drags its bloody length along tho world at large ls beginning to realize moro and moro tho uttor horror of lt. When some world-famous charaoter like Anton Lang is shot down lt brings thia realization homo moro quickly and moro forcibly than when ono reads of many men unknown and un heard of outsido of their respective barnie's are sacrificed on tho blood drone'.ed altar of mankind's greatest am* r.iost terribie war. SETTLING DOWN AGAIN I . After the usual bellicose municipal election, Charleston ls:settling down again to peaceful slumbers amid tho rusti? of the breezes through the live oaks and the crooning of the' waves | against the "Bawttry*' wall. After her fitful spell of wakefulness tho dear old city was in need of a "night cap" to quiet her nerves that she might drift oS into Slurnbcrland the more sorenoly, and, according to reports, BIIO proceeded to take it, Then, too, j tho. places where the "night cap" ls legally doled out had been closed one day short of two weeks, and the places where it was sold In defiance ot the law'had been under strict watch ot the constabulary. Bright and early on Wednesday morning, wo read In the Charleston 1 papers, tho rumble ot the beor wagons was li er.', tl again on the streets and tho doors of tlie county dispensarle? were again flung wide. The thirsty, wo read, fell over ono another in their scramble to. have their ice , chests refilled with; tholr favorite brew, while those, preferring the i stronger boverage took tholr places in tho line fornica in front, of the dis pensaries and waited tholr turn to roplenlsh tho hip pocket. The bad, spoiled child-for Charleston is In her second childhood-again coming Into possession of Ita bottle, lost lit tle time lh regaining its usual seren ity of temper and ambling off into the dells of the land of dreams. All of which has sot us wonr/ering what tho old'blty ls going to do with Itself when, on January 1, 1516, it flirts over.on its other Bide tor apr other nop and finds that tho bottlo has been snatched from its lipa'by tho op eration Of the r,tato-wldo prohibition measurf recently voted in.

Ot peat* tor the soul when the body han be<?n committed to the grec*. fi- **?- : .orally accepted as true. Bot It wai*; j hot always, thus. Time was ; when Wnhey could not > procure . a .. great ; many things which how may bo had , off the bargr dn counter by the man or , ifromah wtth a bank roil ot auillclenifc mmenaiona. trna of thc thingB'taat ; - could not bc bought lu tho olden times WUK social position. A mun or a wo man had to be born to social posi tion, and unlcHS ho or she waa born within the circle there waB no break ing into it by thone of lowly birth, no matter how worthy tho uspirant to the realm might be. lint this is true no longer. The qualifications have undergone a re vision, but not In tho direction the change should huve taken. AS lt ls now, one without "the blood" may ac quire social position provided his bank roll la of proper circumference. This is tho wrong standard by which to measure thoso who apply for ad mission into thc precincts of soclul pooltlon. It'? Just as wrong UH the old standard of "birth." But there ia going to be a change mude in yard sticks, It may bc slow In coming, but lt ls coming Just the same. Tho new yurdatlck ls going to be personal or individual worth. Whether a man ls born "high" or born "low," ho Is go ing to have to show that he is flt for social position before he will be ad mitted to lt. Our thoughts along this line wcro prompted by reading a Ilttlo Btory of Mrs. Finley J. Sheppard, who was Miss Anna Gould, worth perhaps $10, 000,000, having adopted an unknown littie waif who wan found abandoned on tho back steps ot St. Patrick's Cathedral, In Now York. The child, lt ls said, has been named Finley J. Sheppard, Jr. Continuing, thc story relates that thc waif has "found not only n father and a mothor, but a fortuno and social position," Finding a father and a mother la moot fortunate for the youngster, wo daresay. As for finding a fortune, timo alono will toll whether that was boat for the youngster. AB for his finding "social position," that, of courso, was conditioned on the fact that if ho outlives his foster mothor ho will in ni probability, have" left to him tho snug sum of ten million and maybe more. This ls true for the very simple reasou that a penniless waif ot unknown parentage, aband oned in tho streets of New York, would have a pretty bard time of lt mounting to social position. But with tho Jacob's ladder of his foster moth er's millions, ho ls most likely to clamber to nodal skies never before explored by ono who started life as a blt of drift wood on the uncertain sens of great metropolis where "money ls might."
