Russia is again active in her efforts to
maintain the very highest degree OF CT
iciency in her military organization aud
in suppressing feelings of jealousy that
have existed between different branches
and corps Of the army. The Flnlanders,
who until now have formed an army di-
vision by themselves, have been merged
in the St. Petersburg division, which
constitutes the Eighteenth Army Corps.
There are now %forty-nine divisions of
infantry and twenty-five Of cavalry,
which represent the effective force Of the
twenty-four army corps.

An outflow of population from Europe
to South American ports is now in pro.
gress, and promises to assume enormous
proportions as soon as some existing diff.
~iculties are settled. The people OF
Southern Europe are convinced that they
can do better in a new country, where
they can be free from their present sur
roundings. Cheap ocean passenger rates
are stimulating the movement. "There
is no reason" thinks the Chicago Sun,
"why the millions of Europe should re-
main poverty stricken and idle, while
the virgin lands of the new world lie
open for cultivation"

A. LOVE SONG.

His Utmost heart to my own revealing
Came and pleaded he might stay;
But l only asked that he cease his knee1ing,

ing,
He turned his footsteps and went away;
And I sang: Time brings in its fight all
healing .
And love will woo me another day"
I waited long, but no love came stealing
To latticed bower as he came of old;
And time had brought in its fight no heal
ing,
But bitter pain and my hearts revealing;
So I sought love out to keep and to hold
Sought him with eyes that were wet with
feeling,
Sought and found, by his still form kneel-
ipg,
that never again will his wings unfold
Then 1 wept for q love which was dead and

Co-education certainly teaches women
to demand their rights as men do, re-
marks the San Francisco Chronicle.
Thus the female students of the Ohio
State University, when their complaints
about the sanitary condition OF their
recitation and lunch rooms resulted in no
improvement, struck and walked out in
a body. This brought things to a head
and reform is promised speedily. Tue
incident will probably serve as a pre-
cedent IN colleges, where too often the
just complaints of the students are un-
headed.

AN INTERESTING CONTRAST.
Some Pension Figures that May be Con-
sidered In Two Ways.
Memphis Commercial

Memphis Commercially
Mr., M. b. Morton contributed to
the September Forum an interest
ing and instructive article in which
Federal and Confederate pensions
are contrasted in way to exhibit
in vivid and startling colors the
enormity of our Federal pension
list.
Mr.. Morton shows that out of
100000 soldiers enlisted in the Con-
federate armies only 26,50Opersons,
and these including the widows of
soldiers, have been pensioned in the
late Confederate States, or less than
5 per cent. of the number enlisted,
while the sum total of annual pay
ments on this account is little
more than $1,000,00O,
Nearly one million persons are
borne on the Federal pension rolls,
or about four hundred thousand
more than there were soldiers in
the Confederate army! These tre-
menduous figures may be accepted
as evidence of the unequaled PROV
ess of the Confederate soldier or
they may be considered as a revela-
ton of unparalleled profigacy and
extravaganza. The organs Of the
pension sharps prefer to consider
them in the former light, for they
invariably picture their pensioners
as battle-torn, armless and legless.
If we add to the list the number
killed outright in battle and the
number who have since died of
their wounds, we shall have most
appalling demonstration Of South
ern prowess in battle or Of Repub-
lican extravaganza in Congress &C
cording to the light in which the
figures are studied.
We feel it due to the truth OF
history, however, that there should
be some abatement of the claims
set up in behalf of the Confederate
soldierby the Federal pension grab
bers. The Confederate soldierdoes
not need the spurious luster of q
fraudulent pension list to brighten
the glory of his achievements, and
we think we may say without de.
tracing any from his record as 6
fighter that it is not true that every
Confederate either killed or shot

Sketch Of the Priest Who Recently
Died.

Cross Plains, June 26.-Rev. James
William Valley, who died suddenly at
Ridgeway, Iowa county, about ten days
ago, the noted Catholic divine, was a
rather remarkable man. Born in Ire
land about 20 years ago and mainly
educated at one of the Irish colleges,
he came to Wisconsin more than 80
years ago and was pastor of st.
Raphaels church, Madison, from 1870
to 1915. While there he got into a re-
HgiOus controversy with the late Rev.
FL. NJ. Spolding, of Grace church, Madi-
son. He was for a time pastor of Il
church in Milwaukee, and had been in
Ridgeway for many years. About fif-
teen years ago he published a book,
The Four Seasons, and, two years ago,
The Visible and Invisible World. He
was lively preacher and an effective
temperance lecturer; and had been a
strong advocate of temperance for
twenty-five years.-Dr. ]. W. Hester,

Fall River Officials Get a Move Oh
Themselves.

Fall River, Mass, June 26.-The po-
lice of this city have untangled them
selves from the Snarl Ex-Governor
Robinson got them into at New Bed
ford during the Borden trial and in re-
Spouse TO public demand have formal
ly begun to look for the person who
murdered Andrew J. Borden and his
wife. The first thing they did was to
call Oh Parson Jubb, who startled a
New York correspondent Tuesday by
telling him that the counsel for the de-
Tense had a pretty strong opinion that
they knew who did the murders, and
had the jury returned any other verdict
the mans arrest would have been or
dered Immediately. Furthermore, the
minister said this suspected party was
well known in Fall River. When ques-
toned about this Mr.. Jennings smiled
and said that Mr.. Jubb had put the
matter too positively. The person re-
ferred to was a former clerk of Andrew
Borden who left his employ some years
ago under a cloud and has lived out of
the city ever since. A Boston paper
to-day printed long story telling again
the exploded tale of two men in a
wagon ON the day Of the murder, one
OF whom went to the door Of the house
and held a short conversation with
Andrew Borden. The girls have again
offered a reward for the arrest and
conviction Of the murderer.
Lizzie Borden still keeps close within
doors. Some OF her intimate friends
have called upon her and her mail is
still enormous
