United States Consul Norris, at
Client, in report to the State De-

newspapers have been much interested
of late in a question propounded as to
what Is the most expensive product in
the world. The answer is charcoal
thread, employed as filaments for IN
candescent electric lamps, which in the
shape of flaments for 30-candle power
lamps is worth $4,000 per pound.
It requires one and one-haf million
of these filaments to make a pound,

that the people will have become SO

gold standard that in 1898 they will
elect free silver Congress and in 1900

ANrHRoPlsT's PHILOSOPHY.

We reprint an interesting article on
the first page of the REGISTER this
week, called ga Philanthropist's Phil
osophy," giving some of the views OF
Charles Broadway Rouss on religious
beliefs. Mr.. Rouss is one Of the few
men who practices better than he
breaches. A few months ago the
writer visited the merchant prince In
his great store on Broadway and had
a pleasant chat with him on some of
the subjects named in Mr.. Avirett's
article. In response to question as
to his health, Mr.. Rouss said simply
that he was almost totally blind-just
awaiting the entire closing of the shut
tiers through which but the dimmest
ray of light now struggled. He spoke
with a pathetic patience that was
touching, and which in protesting
christian would have passed for an
almost sublime resignation. An in
vitation to dine with him was also ex-
tended cordially and pressingly to
minister of the gospel, and Mr.. Rouss
said then that while he did not believe
in those things Of religion which can
be seen by the christian, even, only
with the eye of faith, at the same
time he respected the views Of those
who did believe, and no word Of his
would offend any from whom he DIFF
fered. He spoke of the unknown
mysteries of life and Of death in
wistful way, and it was not hard to
imagine that his yearning for more
light" was greater concerning spiritual
things than natural.
The law of love that Mr.. Rouss
breaches he practices. Whether 1t be
the tender, unfailing affection for
son who has passed away and pene-
trated the great mysteries the prince
ly munifcence in memory Of "lost
cause" the helpful and generous re-
membranes of old friends; the kind
ly courtesies to passing acquaintance;
the patriotic regard for his old boy
hood home; the liberal benefactions to
men in want or institutions IN need
in all these things he is more than the
philanthropist. He is not a christian,
he does not wish to be called chris
tan. We do not know what to call
him. We do not know what the un-
known future has in store for one who
breaches so well and yet who practic-
es better than he breaches And al
though we do not know, yet we can
not believe that such man can simply
live and die and that that ends all.
More light" for Charles Broadway
Rouss-"more light" for all of us

JUDGE EDWARD STAKE is a most e1
cellent judg. as well as very sensible
citizen. In his court at Hagerstown
Tuesday he bluntly advised prisoners
to plead guilty if they really were
guilty, and warned them that if they
put the county to the expense Of going
through with the trials he would, if
they were convicted by the jury, put
the severest penalties upon them that
the law allowed, One man, who had
gotten a gun under false pretenses, was
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-
tiary. He had evaded the officers as
long as possible, had broken jail once,
and had taken advantage Of every tech
nicality of the law to delay or escape
from the penalty. causing a tremendous
bill of expenses to be run up. The
Judge very properly gave him the
highest penalty the law provided.
Judge Stake is to be commended for
his views on this subject. We suggest,
further, that he give some of his excel
lent advice to certain lawyers whose
methods indicate that they need it.

The Church Census.

The preparation of that part of the

gives the strength of twelve Of the
largest denominations in the United
