THE cENTURY'S changes

It was Just one hundred years ago yes
terday that John Adams was inaugur-
ated president of the United States.
John Adams was q great man, but ne
never slept In q spring bed never saw
a cook stove or an electric light. We
doubt. indeed, whether he ever saw
gaslight. He never saw house with
electric bellg and hot and cold water
In the pipes. He never ate any baking
powder biscuit. He never went on a
hunt and took along canned salmon and
canned peaches; he never rode on, rail-
road train or steamship. He never
went upstairs In an elevator. He never
had stenographer to supply him with
brains or to put his manuscript in legi-
BILE form on the typewriter. He did not
know how to waltz and II he had tried
a two-step he would have broken his
legs. He did not receive any regrets on
the morning of his Inauguration over
the telephone that some Of his friends
could not be present When he won the
election he received no congratulations
by telegram. Had he been told that
in these modern days the power to run
a car on Pennsylvania avenue would
be taken OF from wire stretched above
a track, he would have looked upon the
informant as q harmless lunatic. II he
had been told when he took the oath of
off1ce that today men would be looking
Tor the announcement OF a similar cere-
mony on the part Of successor all
around the world, in London, in Paris,
In Berlin. In st. Petersburg. in far-off
China, In Australia, even In South
America and Africa that the news
would be instantly flashed around the
world and presented next morning In
the papers. he would merely have said
that 1t was an idea stolen from Puck and
was altogether from the realm OF the
unreasona BILE and the intangible. 1t
Is a clear case that John Adams did not
know very much-that is, about the i'm
provements that were to be-but John
Adams had his brain there, and around
him were some stately figures: George
Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Alex
ander Hamilton, the Schuylers, the
Van Rensselaers. Dolly Madison.

Too Dainty for Prlzefights

Four men were killed in the bull fights
at Durango, Mexico, yesterday. The
tragedy was witnessed by 5000 persons,
who enthusiastically cheered the bulls.
The Mexican character is strangely in
consistent. Only a short time ago that
country refused to permit prize fights
to be held there. although the latter
exhibitions, bad as they may be, ara
nothing as compared with such brutal
ity as the Mexican bull fight.-Troy

We'll Trained European workmsn

Already foreign manufacturers buy
their industrial machinery in this coun-
try But what is little singular is that
while we beat the world in making the
machines with which machines are
made, the machines we make with our
own superior tools are inferior to those
made abroad Some Of our finest en-
gines, dynamos and other machines
would not hold a place in the German
OF Swiss market. The fact is that while
we pay the best prices for labor, here
our workingmen do not get the same
training that they do in EurceS~-Bos-

The leather manufacture, with It's con-
