"What our eyes light upon too often wo
do not soo. For example, who has ever
rtaly "seen" tho monument at 23d nnd
Market streets? Who knows there Is a
monument nt 23d nnd Market? You prob
ably havo seen the gigantic advertisements
of theatrical performances on tho fence of
tho building operation nt that point on
Mnrkct street, for they would not have
been put there If you didn't look nt such
things. Ono of theso "ads" telfs In foot
high letters about the show "Under
Cover," nnd thnt tlllo might very well
apply to the 15 -foot monument tn front
of tho boardings, for that monument Is
truty so big thnt you can't seo It.
And It has been there and thereabouts
for 110 years.
It took a lot of "digging" to excavate
that monument nnd rovcnl It to tho public
eye, and due credit should be given to the
excavator. He Is a gray-halrcd reporter,
who, white digging up dnlly many obscure
facts of Interest, had, nevertheless, passed
dally for 2.0 years In walking downtown,

With four new district superintendents
to appoint, Bishop Joseph F. Berryi will
be confronted by some delicate situations
at tho' 129th annual session of tho Phila
delphia Methodist Conference, which
opens next Wednesday morning In St.
James' Church, Olnoy. The Bishop has
admitted that the Rev. Dr. O. Blckley
Burns nnd tho Rev. Dr. Charles W. Straw
aro receiving fnvorablo consideration,
Doctor Burns' appointment Is contingent
upon tho Bishop's success In securing a
suitable successor for him at Calvary
Church, West Philadelphia.
Some Methodists bellevo that tho Rev.
Dr. Ocorgo H. Blckley, ono of the retiring
superintendents, will bo appointed pastor
of Calvary Church. It Ib also reported
that tho Bishop has under consideration
tho appointment of tho Rev. Dr. J. O.
Blckerton ns district superintendent,
which would mnko room for Doctor Blck
ley as secretary of the City Missionary
and Church Extension Society.
The Hev. Dr. Ocorira W. Henson, cam
paign manager of tho conferenco claim
ants' fund, Is being favorably considered
for District Superintendent. Doctor Hen
son has collected between $75,000 and
$100,000 for retired Methodist ministers
In tho last year. In recognition of this
splendid service, he will, In all probability,
bo sent as a dclcgato to tho General Con
ference at Saratoga Springs.
Tho Rev. aiadstono Holm will leave tho
Church of tho Advocate, Ocrmanlown, and
will go to Rchobcth Church, Frankford.
Bishop Berry mny appoint tho Rev. Dr.
Ell E. Burrlss, n retiring District Superin
tendent, to tho Church of tho Advocate
Or he may send tho Rev. Dr. Frank P.
Parkin there.
Many Methodists bellevo that tho
Bishop may promoto the Rov. William II.
Llndcmuth. pastor of tho handsome First
Methodist Episcopal Church of Pottsvllle,
to tho district supcrlntcndency nnd send
Doctor Parkin to Pottsvllle Both Doctor
Parkin nnd Doctor Blckley will bo as
signed to Influential churches.
Tho Rov. Dr. Georgo Gaul Is scheduled
to leave Tioga Church, nnd It Is rumored
that Doctor Llndcmuth may succeed him.
Doctor Gaul might bo sent to tho Church
of tho Covenant. Bishop Berry hopes to
limit tho changes to 100 pastors, which
will bo a decrease of 33 1-3 per cent, com
pared with former years. In making his
appointments tho Bishop will favor tho
older ministers.

WASHINGTON. March 13. There was
unconcealed surprise In official nnd diplo
matic circles today over Secretary of
State Lansing's admission that Ambassa
dor Oerard Is io return soon from Berlin
to tho United States. This surprise was
occasioned by tho aouteness of the situa
tion betweon Germany and the United
States over the unsottled submarine Issue.
It was known Beveral weeks ago that
Mr. Gerard has been given permission to
leavo his post. But at that time the State
Department announced that tho Lusltanla
case was "substantially settled." Since
then Germany has promulgated her new
submarine order to sink without warning
belligerent nrmed merchantmen, and the
State Department has admitted that the
Lusltanla question Is at a standstill.
Germany and the United States at pres
ent are deadlocked over uie wnuio pun
marine question and grave fears havo been
expressed on all sides that a severance of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries Is Inevitable.
In these circumstances dlplomatlo ob
servers declared today, without hesitancy,
that Mr.'Qerard'fl place la In Berlin, Un
less he Is coming nomo ior bu.

A young nurso at the Jefferson Hospital,
who devoted herself, to tho caro of flvo
children, paid for her devotion to duty by
contracting tlio disease irora wjhwi j
suffered scarlet fever. The nurse. Miss
Mnrtha Armstrong, and the children have
been sent to the Municipal Hospital for
Contagious Diseases.
When the children were brought to tho
hospital there was some doubt about the
diagnosis. Miss Armstrong did not know
It was scarlet fever until she herself wns
infected. She went with the children to
the Municipal Hospital last Thursday,
Miss Armstrong Is 21 years old. She Is
very popular among the nurses nnd Is a
pretty girl. SI nurses have become 111
In theNlast year at the hospital as tho
result of taking care of patients with con
tagious diseases. Bliss Armstrong a num
Is at Sunbury, Pa. She has been In train
ing at tho hospital for one year.
There aro about 150 patients now suf
fering from scarlet fover at the Municipal
Hospital, according to Dr. A. A. Cairns,
chief medical Inspector of the Bureau
of Health.
Whllo there havo beep more cases of
tho disease this year, and especially this
winter, Doctor Cairns pointed out that
last year was a record one In regard to
the small number of cases repotted, and
that the city could pot hope always to
equal such a good record.
Doctor Cairns attributes the large num
ber of cases this winter to the fact that
many persons presumably having grip and
sore throat, went about spreading scarlet
fever, with which they were really af.
Illcted. There were 107! cases of scarlet
fever In Philadelphia last year.
