Leaders,.

The world has always admired and
followed leaders. without much philos-
opizing as to what qualities they had
that made them so. They have been
in all walks of life, civil military and
religious. Moses, Alexander, Socrates,
Plato, Caesar, Mahomet, Luther, Co.
lumbus, Napoleon, Newton, Washing
ton, Lincoln, Grant, Livingstone-all
have had their influence and LETT their
impress, not only on their own genera
ton, but on all which have followed to
this day. The influence Of some has
been for evil-more for good. Among
the benefactors are the discoveries and
pioneers, and in this category can be
justly placed the Burlington system OF
railroads. They opened up the great
state OF Nebraska, reached first that
storehouse of silver, Colorado, and are
pioneers in all Improvements which add
to the comfort OF safety. For tickets.

INDIANS WERE SCARED.

Means Used to Pre,erve Telegraph
System III Chill.
When the electric telegraph was
first introduced into Chilli stratagem
was resorted to IN order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on the
part of the Araucanian Indians and
maintain the connection between the
strongholds of the frontier. according
to the New York World.
There were at the time between
forty and fifty captive Indians in the
CHILEAN camp. General Pinto called
them together, and, pointing to the
telegraph wires said:
do you see those wires?"
Eyes, general"
Il want you to remember not to go
near or touch them. for if you do,
your hands will be held and you will
be unable to get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously.
Then the General made them each in
succession take hold OF the wire at
both ends Of an electric battery in
full operation, after which he ex-
claimed:
Il command you to let go the wirep'
Il can't; my hands are benumbedn'
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped, Not
| long after the General restored them
to liberty, giving them strict injunc-
lions to keep the secret and not betray
it to their countrymen.
| This had the desired effect. for, as
might be expected, the experience was
related in the strictest confidence tx

THE yERAcIrY OF HISTORY.

This year and next all good Americans
are, or ought to be, interested in history.
AT least, they ought to be interested in
American history. Nobody should go
to the Worlds fair without first assur-
ing himself that he is acquainted with
its historical significance. To do so
would be as illogical and devoid of in
terest as to 20 to French play in ignor-
ance of the French language.
Read, then, American history; es
pecially the history of the discovery Of
this continent, and that which reveals
the character OF the people who builded
the foundations Of this country.
This advice is easier to give than 10
follow. II lis trying time for the gen
eral reader Of the history Of the discov-
cry Of this nation. A great mass Of
tradition and half knowledge has been
swept away. The sweeping has been so
thorough that il has led 10 some queer
Developments, and 1t is not entirely
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-01

easy to delimitate the field OF accurate
historical achievement.
For example: John Fiske strongly
emphasizes the almost purely English
character Of the people and institutions
of New England, up to and through and
after the revolutionary war. Fiske is
q good authority. He is an omnivorous
student and very skillful assimilator.
He has the true historic spirit and in
stincts. On the other hand Douglass
Campbell has embodied the results Of
almost lifetime of research in two
large volumes which are intended to
show that the New England Puritans
were not properly English in sentiment,
training or origin.
What is the lay reader to believe |?
He cannot, alone and unaided, judge
between these two almost Numerically
opposed bases for history. 1t is vital
that he should make the right selection.
The reading of recently-written his
tory is rapidly becoming one of the most
subtle of the arts of applied literature,
if the term permissible. To discrimi-
nate is the first essential. But how is
the layman to discriminate? If he asks
advice of competent judges he makes no
real progress in fitting himself for inde-
pendent work, though he would be told
to read Fiske and send Campbell to the
junk shop.
Is there not niche in the elaborate
moderd schemes of help for everybody
in every conceivable condition and
emergency of life, for the literary ad-
wiser, who for a modest fee will set any
body upon the right road toward any
desired goal, with every turning Cf the
way plainly signboarded?

THE CONTEST.

One of the most distinguished judges
of New England, man whose reputa-
tion for legal acumen wins for him re-
spect in professional circles, while his
valor in war and his kindly heart in
peace make him the idol of those who
know him, entered the News business
Office at p. M. yesterday, deposited
one coupon on the counter and said,
with sign of relief: "There! That's
the last one, and Pm glad of it. Now
will you tell me-" he went on in his
mellow and persuasive way, why you
do it, and if it's worth while. / would
like to get the professional view Of this
thing if possible"
The request seemed so eminently
reasonable that it has occurred TO us
that others might share this feeling.
Here, then, are the inside facts for as
many as share the learned judges cur:-
osity: No newspaper man doubts the
efficacy of advertising. Newspapers are
themselves the most liberal, persistent
and ingenious of advertisers, working
by. methods not always possible for
other businesses. The admirable letters
which we are printing from Mr.. Lam
sing are an instance Of this sort. These
are widely quoted for their appositeness
to the campaign from Maine to Illinois.
Portions of them, like our article on
the "Cost of Living in 1856 and 1922.
have become a part of the campaign
literature Of the Republican national
committee and have made the name Of
the yearling News familiar in millions
of homes through thousands of country
weeklies.
Another reason: What new paper
needs most of all is to attract new read
ers and to show advertisers how many
it already has, For this purpose no bet
ter device could be imagined than that
of the coupon. The learned judges one
vote cu,led each day from his home
paper is but drop in the tremendous
whole. The coupons are all in our pos
session. They can be seen by any ad-
vertiser, counted, examined. Every
one represents paper sold. There was
very little "plunging" or buying of cou-
pons-this, by the way, was one of the
questions asked by the judge. Three
hundred were sold last evening; no
more; not nearly enough to balance
those lost or wasted. AS it takes some
time to get contest fairly started, it is
fair to assume-in fact, our record
shows--that very large proportion
of this great total were clipped within
a month. Only limited portion Of our
readers clip their coupons. We wish
advertisers and readers to figure cut
this sum for themselves.
And again. Yesterday 262 individual
packages of coupons We're received,
ranging from the judges one to "Col-
lector's" 12.744. Collector" names s3
collectors by name, and says he must
have forgotten many. Wilson, Mat
thews, Jepson, Curtis and others had
friends who sent in big packets, which
represented the labors of many indi
vidual collectors. Probably, toward
the last, there were as many as 500
people collecting coupons from six times
as many readers. AS a means of inter-
esting new readers this is worth con-
sidering. We attribute somewhat of
our recent rapid growth in circulation
to this cause.
Besides, we like to see something or
other going on. II makes life more in
teresting.

The music festival which was held this
week at Worcester may be said to inaug-
urate the musical season in New Eng
land, and from all appearances, especially
in this city. there will be plenty of good
music varied enough TO please all tastes.
There is general feeling among the
leading music teachers of PROVIDENCE
that the season has opened auspiciously.
Pupils are coming in RAPIDLY and one
prominent vocal instructor remarked
that never before, thus early In the sea-
son, had he been so occupied in teaching.
Apropos of the Worcester festival, a
gentl eman, an authority in musical mat
ters, remarked that the work OF the Arion
Club was superior to that OF the Worces-
ter chorus. although the latter is singing
much better than last year.
A church choir guild, composed OF
Episcopal choirs, has been organized at
Newport. There are two boy and three
mixed choirs, eighty members. Irving Z.
Irons OF this city has been chosen musical
director The annual festival will be
early in July, but this year, owing to
some delay, il was not given until the
9th of September Ii is also proposed to
have something in the nature OF festi-
val at Christmastide aud the fifth week
in Lent.
William Eccles, who temporarily sup
piled at St. Stephens Church during the

the Church Of the Messiah In Olneyville,
and will be heard there for the first time
tomorrow.
The Euterpe Club of Newport, Irving
p. Irons director, will resume its work
the second week in October.
The Brown University Glee Club has
organized for the season, and Nathan b.
Sprague has again been appointed direc-
tor Rehearsals will commence at once.
The program of the first pianoforte

AS L WAS SAYING.

John L. Blodgett, who occupies a posi-
tion in this state similar to that of John
/. Davenport ini New York. is ready to re-
ceive petitions for the appointment of
federal supervisors for the Congressional
elections. He has already received some
but has not yet made any appointments.
PROVIDENCE is entitled to 46 of these SUI
pervisors, whose duty would be to sit
about and see how things go. People
who complain about supervision OF Con-
gressional elections do not appear to
know that there Is very little difference
between the present system and that
proposed i'm the Lodge bill, or Force Bill,
as the Democrats call it, except that the
latter provides means to make the super
vision effective in the line of evidence in
contested election cases.
The man most likely to be exceptionally
we'll informed often betrays the most ex-
traordinary ignorance. The president OF

nection with the mayoralty. am sure

One Of the most promising signs OF the
steady and strong drift of neutral voters
TO the Republican ticket Is the absence OF
cocky street talk about sure Democr
success and the prevalence Of talk about
the Republican ticket and prospects.
