SAYINGS OF PHILLIPS BROOKS.

NEVER fear to bring the sublimest
comfort TO the smallest trouble.
This representative man is man
who sees all material things only as the
means of spiritual culture, 10 whom inn
mortality is first fact of human exist
ence, TO whom God is more real than
his brethren, To whom sin Is the one
evil Of all the groaning and complain
ing world.
II anybody has ever felt that his life.
with its little woes, was easier TO bear
because there were great men living
the same human life with him, he can
understand IL perfectly. The men of
larger life of whom he knew never came
near him, never touched his life, never
spoke to him, perhaps never knew of
his existence.
ST. PETER felt dimly that the lie Of
Jesus was opening into something so
large that all which had gone before
would be seen 10 have been only the
vestibule and preparation for what was
yet To come. He vaguely felt that his
death, in whose shadow they were sit
ting, was the focus into which all the
lines along which they had travelled
were converging, only that they might
open into larger and more wonderful
fields Of expcriepce.[

THE NEWS.
tongue.

The News has been receiving many
compliments from its readers and its
contemporaries of late anent the
mechanical changes and the added
facilities for giving the news it has
given evidence of.
These changes have not been heralded
by us, nor Dragged about after they
We're accomplished. We know per-
fectly well that the public will at once
notice improvements, and will manifest
its appreciation by buying more papers
and using the paper for its advertising
to a greater extent.
The changes and improvements that
the News has effected are not all ap-
parent, however, to the casual OBJ
server. The system of distributing the
papers to the newsdealers has been
radically changed, resulting in their
regular receipt by the dealers and con-
sequently by all of the readers in the
city. This has necessarily involved a
large outlay, but the returns are
already apparent in the shape of in
creased circulation.
Other important improvements in the
facilities for getting the best news SER
vice available are being pushed, and the
results will be noted by the readers as
they are evidenced in she paper.
The new News has taken up rate Of
vigorous growth that is most crafty
ing, and that is sending its circulation
up at a rate that no Providence paper
has attained in recent years. We print
no triple-expansion circulation figures,
but patrons who are interested are
always welcome at the Office, where the
proof is always at their service.

A SHAMEFUL STATUTE.

The laws respecting the duties and
the rights of the medical examiners
need to be revised or amended to that
extent that some speedy method for the
disposal of the bodies of those who meet
sudden death on the streets or in busi-
ness places may be put in practice.
There was a case in point yesterday.
A man died in saloon and the body
lay where it fell five hours before the
medical examiner could be found to give
the necessary permit for its removal.
Nobody was to blame. The majesty of
the law must be respected, and the law
said that the inanimate clay must stay
there and be the CHASTITY accompaniment
to the drinks that were dealt over the bar
until such time as a busy doctor should
return from his rounds of visits to pa
tients and make out the necessary
papers.
The spectacle of yesterday was dis
grace to the city and to civilization. 1t
was not exceptional. There are cases
very much like it constantly occurring.
There is scarcely an accidental or sud
den death that does not involve more or
less delay on the part of those who are
ready to care for the poor corpse in de-
cent fashion.
There ought to be some official, who
is always easily accessible, given author
ity to order the speedy observance of
the decencies.
The police might well be given the
initial authority in cases of sudden
death, and be allowed to decide whether
the ends of justice demand critical
and judicial examination Of the poor
clay where it fell, or whether it can be
cared for by its friends and taken away
from the curious gaze of the public.

GAMING IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Chess Was the Forbidden Game OF That
Time.

Chess Was the Forbidden Game OF That
Time.
Gambling was the curse Of the noble,
as 1t has always been the curse of every
class trained to win and to desire, but
with scant outlet for its energies. The
knights in winter gambled pretty near
iy all day. We remember, says the
Contemporary Review, how the servitor
of Milun, entering a castle in the morn
ing, finds in the great hall two knights
playing chess, so absorbed that they do
not see him "When Easter
comes," say the knights to Milun, 1--WE
will recommence our tournaments" but
until Easter there is no rival to their
games OF chance except the eternal
game Of love.
Chess was the baccarat, the poker Of
the middle ages. In vain the king for
bade it in 1869, in 1898, and both before
and after, with every game of hazard.
But who was to enter the snowed-up
country castles to tell tales of knights
and ladies playing the forbidden gamep
The women were almost as bad as the
men. ''Never plcy chess, save for love-"
says the Knight de la Tour to his
daughters, me soyez jamais grant
jouaresses de tables" And he proceeds
to tell them melancholy tales of land,
of money, and of women's honor spent
over the too enticing board. But, alas,
good knight, the days are i'll to pass in
winter time!

Good Night.


We hear II from q mothers knee, in echo down
the stair,
Outlines in notes OF childlike glee. ofttimes at
close OF prayer.
We hear It at the garden gate, half whispered,
sweet and low,
While lovers linger until late, and loath cen
then TO 60.
We hear IL said in gilded halls, where mirth
and gladness reign,
Where beauty glows and music falls in capt..
waiting strain.
We hear IL at the bedside, where dread pain and
grief are known,
And tender ministrations share with the
stricken and the lone.
We hear IL when the sun Of day withdraws
from mortal sight
What comfort then. 10 hear and say; Good
night dear heart''-'Good night"
