SCARED THE MAYOR.
Routed Out Of Bed Because
Of a South Cove
Rumor.

The railroads are stealing South Cove

was sent to Mayor Wanser and his
secretary, John Nevin, at six O'Clock
this morning.
The Mayor tumbled out of bed, dressed
himself quickly and hurried to South

On Thursday last when the occupation

sets of tracks leading to the chutes of

Pastor seudder Says They
Work on Humanitarian
Lines.

Before his sermon in the Tabernacle
last evening the Rev. John L. Scudder
delivered a prelude on the modern news
paper, in which he said
The most important invention of mod
ern times is the daily newspaper. It
secs everywhere, it reaches everybody.
AS an educator it rivals or surpasses the
public school. To be an intelligent citi-
zen and competent to discuss the topics
of the day, a person must read the news
papers. Once or twice during the twenty
four hours these freighted sheets knock
at our doors and receive a cordial well
come. To many of us they are as neces-
sary as daily food. They provide current
information and stimulate the thought
and energy of the people. Today the
press is the greatest power on earth. and
with this power comes an added response
bility.
"One noticeable feature of modern
journalism is the increasing tendency to
work along humanitarian lines. The
philanthropic spirit is developing and
prominent papers naugurate schemes
whereby to alleviate suffering, assist the
unfortunate or relieve the oppressed. Not
only do they uphold local charities and
give them a vast amount of free adver-
tisi1lg. but with characteristic energy they
start independent benevolent enterprises
and push them until they are succeSSful.
They know that Americans have large
hearts, and that a reliable and Intelligent
appeal will always meet with a prompt
and generous response.
Today one paper starts a fresh air
fund, tomorrow another distributes free
of summer, and the next day the people
are called to contribute towards struggling
Cuba, or downtrodden Armenians. The
milk of human Kindness can be found in
abundance in these secular papers. and
for aught / see they are doing religious
work of a most Christ-Iike character"
