NO FURTHER INTERRUPTION

Says the Rev. DR.. +. W. Gunsaulus:
u heard Wendell Phillips make an anti
slavery speech once. | was then a boy
of years. My father took me up, put
me on the saddle bofore him and we rode
eight miles into Philadelphia to hear that
speech. My father was determined that
should not lose that opportunity of see
ing and hearing the great orator. | re-
member the occasion as distinctly as
though 1t We're but yesterday. The hall
was densely crowded and there was great
excitement. Wendell Phillips made ter
rlnc arraignment of slavery and the
Shareholder. In the midst of il a clergy
man of distinguished bearing arose among
the auditors and addressing Phillips said
Sir If you really believe these things YOU
are saying, why don't you go south and
say them?'
THE stiffness that followed this peril
nent question was so profound as to be
actually felt. The vast audience held its
breath for Phillips TO answer that cues
tionr which meant much Just then. Phil
lips was equal to the occasion. With an
unmoved countenance, but in a stern
voice, so clear as to be heard in every
part of that large hall, he answered:
" And you, sir-you profess to save
souls from hell-why don't you go to hell
to save them?'
There was no reply-there could be no
reply, The clergyman sat down and ven-
tured no further interruption. ."-Chicago

POPULATION.

But the reason Philadelphia has the
lower death rate and some 1000 peo-
pie alive at the end of the year who
would have died under Glasgow's eco
nomical city government IS because in
Philadelphia the population averages
264 to the acre. In Glasgow it aver
ages 569 to the acre. AS DIR. Russell,
the health officer of Glasgow, showed
in a recent report in 1891, half Of the
inhabitants of Glasgow live in houses
of two rooms" The average Glasgow
dwelling in 1891 was a house of 2.33
apartments, containing 4,772 people, /"
In Philadelphia there are 5.6 persons to
the house, usually of six to eight
rooms. In Glasgow almost as many to
a house of about two rooms.
This is hard on human life, but easy
on municipal economy. Let a city be
crowded so that all its population is
in about O. fifth of the area of Phila-
delphia and the expense for streets,
sewers gas pipes and water mains is
enormously reduced, but health and
comfort are also reduced, Spread the
city out and all its eXOenses are in
creased, but each family has its house.
The American plan costs more, bur
II pays in the end.

CONTRASTING FIGURES.

Philadelphia would have pretty light
taxes on this basis. In 1896 this city
had, outside of realty taxes, a revenue
of $l0,S5l,9S1. This left $l3,177,S23 to be
raised by direct taxes. Deduct from
this S2,000,000 on account of schools or
tWo-thirds, $1,100,000 for half the police
and 100000 more for Judges, prisons,
elections and other expenditures not a
city charge in Glasgow and there is a
total of $1,000, coo. This sum left to be
raised by direct taxation would be So
277,000 and the tax rate would be $1.4O
instead of $1S5.
Glasgow, too. has a cheap city gov
ernment and a hight death rate be-
cause the population is crowded. Phila-
delphia has a dear city government be-
cause its population is spread out, and
for this reason low death rate. Glas-
gov has a death rate-lS9S-of 23.4.
Philadelphia had in 1898 rate of 2120,
Yet Philadelphia, with a summer tenn
perature whose extreme is some %
degrees higher than GlasgoW's and
whose winter is 10 to Is degrees lower,
has a much more unhealthy climate.
Glasgow has q July as cool as Canada
and q January as warm as southern
North Carolina Philadelphia, with
its winter and summer, should have the
higher death rate. 1t is also the larger
city, and in general the bigger the city
the higher the death rate.

NOT DISCERNING.

\ friend of mine has little boy called
Robbie and Robbie is not at all an angel
child, He is in fact, the terror of ;he
neighborhood. Not long ago his father
bought him a bicycle and Robbie was
more an object Of dread to the neighbors
than ever, one day he was detected in
some particularly outrageous act, and his
father TO punish him, forbade him to ride
the bicycle for a whole week Robbie
promised, but as his father neared the
home next day he saw his son whrlng
along on the wheel.
Robbie said he, more I'm sorrow than
in anger, "dldn't | tell you you were not
to ride your wheel for weck?"
Yes, sir" said Robbie cheerfully, "and
I'm not going to disobey you. This isn't
my wheel. It's the one l borrowed. -

GLASGOW'S EXPENSES,
They Are Small When Contrasted
with Those ofan American City but
There Are Reasons for the Differ
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Glasgow, Scotland, hereafter will levy
no taxes on its citizens because it will
have a sufficient revenue from it's public
works. This, says an American news
paper, furnishes a striking object les
son to American cities"
1t does when all the facts are stated
not before. Most Americans who read
of the success of Glasgow in raising a
revenue from it's public works imagine
that Glasgow has to pay for all that an
American city does and on the same
scale. If it did Glasgow would be bank
rupt. In an American city the schools
are paid for by the city, and in addition
local taxation contributes q round sum
to the support of rural public schools
In Glasgow two-thirds the cost of the
schools are paid by the imperial treas
ury. In 1890 out of $6,20O000 spent on
schools in Scotland $4. 400, 900 came from
London. If Philadelphia was in Glas-
COWS place this city would be getting
some $2,000,000 year from Washington
Half the Glasgow police force is paid
for in the same way. Its technical
schools. or, as we should say. manual
training high schools, are supported in
the same convenient fashion. The
Glasgow judiciary, outside of local Grim
inal courts, mere police courts, are paid
by the central government. Glasgow
has no local judges, the judiciary of
Scotland being an imperial charge.

DEDICATION PROGRAMME.

At the dedication ceremonies General
Horace Porter, who was conspicuous
figure when the cornerstone was laid
on March 20, 1892, and who did more
than any other one man toward the
creation of the memorial, will deliver
an grafton, and on behalf of the Clti-
zens' committee will hand the build
Ing over to the mayor of the city.
There will be a monster parade, in
which all organizations will be repre-
sented, and national, state and munci-
pal authorities will witness the scene.
The president of the United States.
the ce-president and members of the
cabinet, the justices of the Supreme
court, the members of the diploma tic
corps and the senators and represent
atiVeS in congress have been invited.
The major-general commanding the
United States army and the retired
commander General Schofield, and the
highest officers in the navy, have also
been asked to be present. The govern
nors of many of the states will come
with their military staffs, and it is ex-
pected that the entire National Guard
of the state of New York will be mobil-
lied for the occasion, and will act as
escort to the Grand Army of the Re
public, Loyal Legion and other pa.ri-
otic organizations.
A member of the committee, in
speaking of the proposed parade, said:

that the occasion will bring together
