Congress In September.

WASHINGTON June 5.-The President
said this evening in reply to direct ques-
ton by reporter of the United Press that
he intended to call an extra session Oh Oou-
gress not earlier than the first nor later
than the fifteenth of September, unless un-
expected contingencies should necessltate
an earlier meeting. The President furtner
said:
"While there has been no mystery nor
secrecy in regard to my intentions IN this
matter. think it not amiss that our peo-
pie should be informed authoritatively that
the time is at hand when their Representa-
tives in Congress will be called upon to
deal with a financial condition which is the
only menance to the country's welfare and
prosperity.
at is we'll for the people to take up the
subject for themselves and arrive at their
own conclusions as to the merits OF imam
cial policy which obliges US to purchase idle
silver bullion with gold taken from our re-
serve. One does not need the eye OF imam
cier to see that this gold thus subtracted
from the governments stock is eagerly seiz-
ed by other nations for the purpose of
strengthening their credit at our expense.
at does not need the art of craftsmanship
to detect the danger that awaits upon the
continuance of this operation. Already the
timidity of capital is painfully apparent,
and none Of us can fail to see that fear and
apprehension in monetary matters Will
ultimately bring suffering to every humble
home in our land.
81 think that between now and the meet
ing of Congress much depends upon the &C.
ton of those engaged in financial operations
and business enterprises. Onr vast nation
al resources and credit are abundantly SUI
ficient to justify them in the utmost faith
and confidence. If instead of being fright
ened they are conservative, and if instead
of gloomiy anticipating immediate disaster
| they contribute their share of hope and
steadiness, they will perform patriotic
duty and at the same time protect their own
interests. The things just now needed are
GOODNESS and calmnesss in financial circles
and study and reflection among our people,

Tne Ler,lsaIen. CentenniaI.

The venerable Colonel Jesse E. Peyton,
of Burlington, n. j., who has initiated so
MANY commemorative celebrations of his
toric events that he has come to be known
as "the father of centennials," has lately
begun an agitation for bigger celebration
than any he has ever organized. 1t is to
be nothing less than an international cele-
bration at Jerusalem six years hence OF the
nineteen hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Jesus Christ Not only is it designed to
have the celebration of an international
character, but it is hoped that all the diff
ferent Christian churches will unite and
that representatives of other religions may
be induced to attend, including the Jews,
Mohammedans and Buddhists.
Colonel Peyton admits the great difficulty
of achieving this, but does not consider it
at all impossible and has gone to work with
the same contagious enthusiasm that has
put animation into so many other similar
though smaller projects. He says the idea
is spreading rapidly and that all from whom
he hears think it is appropriate and that it
properly originates in America. He adj
dressed meeting of those interested not
long ago in Carpenters hall of Philadelphia
and suggested that public meeting be
called to consider the matter at lndepen-
dence Hall on July 4 of this year.
The colonel also promised to call the
matter to the attention of the parliament OF
religions that meets at Chicago this sum-
mer; he has no doubt that through the
members of that body and the kind offices
of the press sufficient enthusiasm can be
awakened to make the celebration the great
success it should be to iuaugurate the TWEEN
tieth century of the Christian era.

4 wonderful Newspaper.

The recent 100-page anniversary edition
of the New York World was fittingly illus
trative of the progress of journalism. Since
its appearance the following facts have been
ascertained concerning it:
The amount of paper used was over 20
tons, or 100000 lbs. 1t required $50 horses
to draw it To the Pulitzer Building. AS 1t
came off the rolls into the press it made a
continuous strip 5,9SS miles long.
Made into a blanket, the white paper
would have covered 1888 square acres
The 600 rolls of papers if stood on one end
would make column ten times taller than
the Pulitzer Building, or considerably more
than half-mile high.
Had one man attempted to set the type
for the single edition and 5000 ems per
day, 800 days in the year, it would have
taken him no days, or years, months
and 20 days to complete the task.
The edition contained about l,776,SOO
words, and it would take man % days to
read it aloud, provided he read it at the
rate of $50 words a minute, s hours a day.
If the white paper had been cut into one
inch squares there would have been more
than FIVE pieces for every inhabitant Of the
globe.
The edition contained 100000 pages,
one for more than one half the inhabitants
of the United States. Divided into col
umns, there would have been four columns
of good reading for every inhabitant.
Twelve copies of novel of the ordinary
size, like SCOTS "Ivanhoe," could be made
from the contents of the Anniversary World.
Had Benjamin Franklin attempted to
print last Sundays World on his old hand
press, one page at a time, it would have
taken fifty eight years to complete the task.
The edition if divided into SPACE papers
would have made 4,975,OO0 single copies,
enough to have supplied the subscription
list of the average country weekly for more
than 100 years.
| The Illuminated cover in six colors was
handsomest and most expensive ever used
by any publication. Its cost was nearly
500, 900.
The price paid for the one advertisement
on the last page was the largest ever paid
to any newspaper for single announce
| ment.
