MFR. Howells' New Work

The announcement that Mr.. How

take editorial charge of the COsmo-
politan, on March LIST. calls arten tion
TO the process of BUILDING up the staff
of q great magazine. Probably in no
monthly has the evolution been so
distinctly under the eyes of the pu bile
as in the case of the Cosmopolitan,
The first step after it's editorial con-
troll was assumed by Mr.. John Bris
hen Walker, was to add to il Edward
Everett Hale, who took charge of a
Gepal tmeDt called "Social Problems, ;"
subjects concerning which the great
est number. of people are thinking
today. Mr.. Hale, who is a student,
fair minded man, q thorough Amer
lean and man of broad sympsthies,
has filled this position in a way TO
attract the attention not only of this
country, put of leading European
journals. some months later, a de-
partment was established called
THE Review of Current Events"
To take charge of this, a man was
needed who should be familiar not
only with the great events Of the past
thirty yeers, but who knew PERSONAL
~ the leading men of both the United
states and Europe who could inter
pref motives and policies Murat
Haistead accepted this position with
the distinct understanding that his
monthly review should be philos,-
phical and never partisan. The nexl
step in tue history of the Cosmopoll
tab, was the placing of the review of
The intellectual movement of the

Matthews, who for some time has
teen recognized as one of the two or
three ablest critics in the United

How the Indian Prays.

prayer is the souls sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed" And the man.
ner of expressing desire may differ wide
ly. The Indian may be as religious as is
the Presbyterian, yet he never kneels
when he prays. He never addresses the
deity by word of mouth at all. Yet he
asks for the blessings he needs, and asks
for them with as much faith and as
much reverence as does his whittier broth
er. They want good corn crop and
they gather handful of green twigs or
grasses, bind them together with rev.
erent faith that the deity is willing and
able to help them; they lay the emblems
or hang them in place where the sun
will shine upon them and leave, assured
that their prayer has been heard.
1t may not be answered. The corn
may not prosper right away, but they
are in no wise discouraged. They bind
together another emblem and offer it in
another place. Some places have partic-
Mar favor. 1t is believed the deity sees

some other places. 1t is simply the
Christians idea of sanctuary in another

The Charm OF IdIeness

From the Spectator.
We should be inclined, as we look
around the world, TO ask whether the
refined are not of value even when ,
like the old, they only look on and
advise. Is there no possibility of the
eXIs tence of men who, simply by De-
ing without doing anything, make
the world little happier, which, il
not work, is at least it's full equIva-
lent? Mr.. Gladstone would be the
last man TO deny that there have
heen and are women in the world
their lives who never wrought or
preached or wrote, or even gave
money, and yet who, simply by be-
ing raised the standard of all women
who came In contact with them.
They fulfill the functioL of the
lilies, and in being lilies they, though
they toll not, nor spin, nor subscribe
20 gardeners ssylums, make the air
sweeter and the gardens more of q
gracious consolation. Can there not
be men with the same capacity? No
man in England has known more
varieties OF men than Mr.. Gladstone,
and we venture to say that, as he
looks back through his vast expert.
epce, he will remem Dor one or two at
least tainted with the sin of inherited
riches, whom work Of any kind would
slightly have soiled, who in their
gracious id'euess swsetened life, Snd
lent it charm which, lacking them,
it had sadly missed.
There may be, there often is, charm
lie q quality that benefits the worthy,
perhaps sometimes almost rs much as
the strenuousness which is so admir-
able. aud leaves behind ii such an
additional sense that this earth OF
ours, with all it's offerings, is a most
fatiguing place. Mr.. Gladstone does
not find it so; but then Mr.. Gladstone
is himself, and q ScotchmaD on both
sides. If the men of that race have
q foible-be the thought far from
us!-It is that they can not appreciate

Comrads G.. Lewis Baldwin, Of Post 257,
Department Of Pennsylvania, GAR, Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes that the attendance upon the
next National Encampment seems likely to be
without precedent and the matter Of getting
about Washington and surrounding country
will be Of vast moment, as thousands are no
longer able to march three or four miles, or
even one or two miles; yet they all desire 60
visit many places which viii involve this
march or the use Of vehicles TO carry them.
He does not see how als are to be provided
with transportation, even at the exOFbitant
prices hackmen will doubtless demand, aud
thinks that thousands will be Obliged TO fOregO
even seeing the city for this reason. He wishes
TO know if arrangements cannot be made with
the railroad companies to allow those who may
desire TO come to the Capital in time 70 DO their
visiting before the Enclmpment, they to be
ready to return home Immediately after the
business is transacted, instead Of all the COM
rades rushing in couple of days before the
Euc2mpmen5, when the city will be crowded,
hotels and stopping places all full, street-cars
aud hacks deiuged, public places Of interest
thr0nged to WEAKNESS, and the condition of
things generally such that only the strongest
can endure the hardships.

The Ohio was chartered for 80 days, and the

The trial of Mai. Lewis c. Overman, Eugi-

Major was virtually forced to admit himself
guilty of extOrtion from contractors. The Ma

demand was made for all specifications to DO
exDunged, because the money alleged 70 have
been taken was not for military purposes, but
for river and harbOr improvements, therefore
the court martial had no jurisdiction. One OF
the Majors counsel, Judge Sanders admitted
that Overman had no right to certain moneys
paid as penalties by contractors, and also
claimed that the Government had no right
either TO these moneys and that il anyone was
wronged it was the people who had paid the
money to Mai Overman. The four speeihca-
tions were quashed because of the statute OF
