The Destiny of the Twentieth Century.

Inc Destiny OF the Twentieth Century.
The conquest of the elements so that
they may be made to serve mankind is
manifestly to be continued in the next cen
tury. That has been the distinguishing
feature of the Nineteenth century. How
far men will subdue the forces of nature
and compel service from them within the
next hundred years is as inconceivable as
it would have been for the men who fought
the battles of the Revolution to understand
how it could be possible to exchange intel
ligence with Europe on the instant, or to
chat understandingly with friend 1000
miles away.
The destiny of the Twentieth century is
plainly for the higher and more majestic
development for mans Joy and comfort of
the secret, unseen powers that control the
movements of the EARTH and which, now
operating by what are called natures laws,
cause the fields to blossom, the trees to bud
and leaf, the storms to come, the rain to
fall, and do all these things, which we do
not esteem marvellous because we are used
to them but which nevertheless give to the
earth its life
1t is to be the province of journalism to
report these mighty works of man, perhaps
to stimulate them, and when 100 years
have passed the newspapers will have made
| the world, if not kin, at least neighbors
| 1t is quite within the bounds of possibil-
ity that by the year 1888 the mechanical
work of publishing newspapers may be
done entirely by electricity, and the dis
tributing of the printed papers may be
accomplished with such celebrity as to vast
ly extend tho legitimate field Of any given
journal
1t is quite possible that by the agency of
forces just beginning to be understood the
reporter and editor will no longer be com
PEELED to write, but that the spoken word
may appear imprisoned in cold type
In one respect the newspaper of 1898 will
differ but little from that of today. 1t may
report news with greater accuracy of state
ment and have the world and its doings
more completely subject to instantaneous
report, but the newspaper of 1893 must be
as is that of today, nothing but the story of
human achievement, and the story of hui
man nature, and of the happenings of earth.
The object of the business of journalism
cannot change, but the methods of the
business and its future development are
likely to share the benefits which are to
come from the mighty struggle of man
with the elements to subdue them to his
use. L. J. EDWARDS.

READING REORGANIZATION.


Drexel & Co. Resume Their Former
Prominence in the Financial Sup-
port OF the Involved Railroad Com
pany.
PHILADELPHIA, March A.-The an
nouncement is made that Drexel & Co.,
the we'll known brokers, have resumed
their former intimate relations with the
management of the Reading road, which
were disrupted some months ago by the
action of President Mcleod in endeavor-
ing to make the Reading competitor for
traffic to and from the New England
states, thus antagonizing the interests of
J. Pierpont Morgan, the head of the New
York house of Dre1el, Morgan & Co. The
Drexels had previously been recognized as
the fiscal agents and financial hackers Of
the Reading company and the absence of
their support was severely felt in the
Readings hour Of need.
The reunion of Drexel 6 Co. and Re-
ceiver MeLeod foreshsdows the undertak-
ing by that firm of the prospective reor-
ganization of the Reading company. The
rehabilitation of the Reading is probably
some two years or more distant, but 1t is
practically certain that in the meantime
the financing of the company will be under
the supervision of the Drexels. The recon
ciliation Is understood to have been accom-
plished few days before the Reading went
into the receivers hands, when the critical
condition of the company compelled Presi-
dent Mcleod to ask assistance from his
former supporters. It was then too late,
however, to avert the catastrophe, but 1t Is
said Drexel & Co. consented to aid in the
future restoration of the Readings sol
vency on the condition that they should
be permitted to name one of the receivers.
This was soon agreed to and Edward N.
Paxson, then chief justice of the supreme
court of Pennsylvania was the one chosen.
NEW York, March 23.-President Nc
Leod was in New York to- day. The main
object of his visit was to complete arrange
ments for the extension of 50, zoe, 900 of
second mortgage per cent. bonds, which

/ received from England, France, Austria
| and Germany regarding the formation OF
affiliated organizations.
| The board received q proposition to
| assume control of road racing, thing moi
| recognized by the L A. w. It was de-
elined because the Century Road club hal
assumed jurisdiction over all such CON
tests
Formal application for membership II
the National association was received from
Boston syndicate, but final action on tn,
matter was deferred until tho next meet
ing. It was agreed that Frank A Eagan

LONDON, March "a George h. Man
nsrs-Astley, who has a ssat in the lords as
Baron Hastings, was arraigned at the Mar

having acted tndecently towards girl in
Regents park. His lordship, who is about

ashamed of himself as he was called up to
answer the charge. The evidence of his
disgraceful conduct was so clear that the

to pay fine of fifty pounds or be impris-
oned for three months. The case has
caused great sensation as Ashley moves

A BAD FIRE.

The barn and adjoining sheds belong ing to Mir Wadsworth, which were used by him, last summer, during his family's stay in the country, on Sunday night, about G o'clock were burned. There was some 12 tons of hay, which Arthur c. Titus moved on shares, in the build- ing, several bushels of rye, 20 barrels of apples and few bushels of quinces and a few farming tools belonging to Mir Ti- tus, all of which were consumed. One half of the hay belonged to Mir Wads- worth, also one-half of a crop of tobacco raised by Merrill Fenn, one and half acres hanging in the buildings. MT Fenn loses by this calamity large share of his summers work. The fire was first discovered by Sherman Hartwells hired man, who was driving to the cream cry with milk, who at once drove to Mir Fenn's and gave the alarm, and he ran at once to the spot and drew two seat ed pleasure wagon and rolled out couple barrels of apples, by which time the whole premises were ablaze. There is supposed to have been part of bar rel of kerosene in a room occupied by the hostler, last summer, which caused so rapid spreading of the fire. The fire was caused either accidentally or willfully by some person or persons who had no business there.
