PRACTICAL MISSIONARY WORK.

While it may not be possible to adopt
all the suggestions of Rev. Mr.. Milburn
in his sermon Of last Sunday for the in
struction and amusement of the young men
and women of the city, they are so i'm
portant that they should be discussed with
a view of practical adoption. In every city
there are thousands of young men whose
homes, If they have them, or other envi-
ronments fail to furnish them with diver
sions which will fill up their spare time
They do not, at first, prefer the resorts of
the evil, but If there are no others they will
find those, and in time will prefer them to
others If in the sections of the city in
which the factories are largely located
there could be free reading rooms, in which
newspapers and popular magazines were on
file, and where billiards and other games
could be enjoyed, and in which there might
be concerts by local musicians and light
lunches with coffee, or even with light beer
served at reasonable prices, they would
soon be frequented by a large body of
young men who are now left to drift into
loafing places and dives in which they be-
come toughs. That these young men prefer
other entertainment is evident from the
fact that any free concert In Tomlinson
Hall, or in any of the churches in their
vicinity, will be crowded with them. Many
of them have been 50 instructed in the pub
lie schools that they would prefer we'll
lighted reading rooms and cheerful sur
roundings to the out-of-the-way dive or re-
sort OF the aimless.
The natural tendency of the young is to
respectabiity. The tough is the result OF
long experience in depravity. There are
number of clubs in the city, composed Of
men and women who discuss literary and
economic questions, to whom the sugges-
tions of Rev. Mr.. Milburn should be of in
terest. All of the churches under take more
or less of philanthropic and mission work,
but 1t must be confessed, as Mr.. Milburn
admitted, that they do not reach out beyond
the circles of those attending the churches.
Would it not be worth the while to try the
experiment of carrying the influence of the
church beyond the small circle of its men,
bership and attendance by going into the
enemy's country and starting decent re-.
sort for young men during evenings and
Sundays?

WHAT Is YOUR AGE.

There was once wise king who was
awfuly curious. He was possessed or

tinually asking questions. Indeed. his thirst
for knowledge carried him so Tar that ne
wanted TO know the age OF every person ne
met. But, being king, he was exceed
ingly polite, and would resort 10 strategy
to gain his ends.
one day there came 10 the court a gray
haired professor. who amused the king
greatly He told the monarch number
OF things that he never knew before, ana
came to the point when the ruler wanted
to know the age of the professor. so he
thought of a mathematical problem

month of your birth.

The paid admissions to the worlds fair
were 10 ,263 154 to Friday night, Oct. 20. 1t is
probable that for the remaining nine days
the paid attendance will reach about p
500, 600, making the aggregate 21,750,OOO. Var
ious estimates have been made to the
average number Of times which each Wis
itor went through the turnstile, but four
seems to have been settled on by more
writer's than any other. Those who will
70 over the list of their friends who have
ttended will find that more paid in more
than four times than did less than that
number Accepting four the average, it
will appear that 5,4SS5OO bona ide visitors
have passed in at the gates of the White
City. OF this number it is probable that
all except 100000 reside in the United States.
This is large attendance, but it leaves a
matter Of 10000. 600 who have not seen the

The most of the railroads upon which the
shocking collisions have taken place dur
ing the past two months are within the pur-
view of the Interstate Railway Commits
sion. AS there was no one Of those col

by the exercise of ordinary care on the

or request Of Congress- the causes of each

of carelessress, thoughtlessness and stu

The clause of the Constitution which gives
the Senate the power to pass upon certain
nominations to Office confirming or reject
ing them, Is wrong in principle and a fail
ure In practice. 1t is departure from the
otherwise sound theory of the Constitution
which concentrates executive authority in
the President alone. and holds him respon-
sible for its exercise. 1t is always a mis-
take to divide and dissipate responsibility.
and that is what this provision does. 1t
divides the responsibility Of bad appoint
ment between the President and a major
ity Of the Senate in such way that nobody
Is responsible The case of James ]. Van
Allen, who has just been confirmed as min
lister to Italy, Is in point There is reason
to believe that If the responsibility for this
indecent and odious appointment had rested
entirely on the President he would have re-
voked 1t when he learned the facts in the
case. But he consoled himself with the re-
Election that the Senate had the power to
reject the nomination. and if II did not the
responsibility would be off his shoulders.
The Senate. on the other hand. argued that
the responsibility for the appointment was
with the President, and it would be dis
courteous to coordinate branch of the
government not to confirm it. So between
the two, Van Allen is confirmed and the
country is scandalized The provision of
the Constitution which gives the Senate
power to pass upon executive nominations

The theaters in Boston have found 1t
necessary to adopt measures to curtail the
cost Of window advertising;" that is, to
cut down the number of passes issued to
the occupants of shops in which litho-
graphs and other announcements of per-
formances are exhibited. The wonder is
that intelligent managers waste any money
or passes upon such comparatively useless
advertising. The people who attend thea
ters are the readers of daily papers. To
keep themselves informed in regard to
what is worth seeing they read the papers
and not the announcements in shop win
dows. Under the auspices of the citizens
committee of the National Encampment a
pamphlet was printed. in which scores of
merchants were induced to advertise be-
cause it was cheap, but, for all the prac-
tical purposes Of advertising, the money
was thrown away, because a large part, of
the pamphlets were sold to strangers who
bought them simply to learn about the
encampment and to take home. Even If
they note the advertisements in their far
away homes they will not return to pur-
chase clothing furniture and stoves of In
dianapolis dealers.

The conductor and engineer OF the
wrecked train on the Grand Trunk rail-

the responsibility for the recent terrible
accident rests on one or both of them. 1t

throw the responsibility on the other.
Both had explicit orders. and it is difficult
to see how, in railroad ethics or in law,
