The sluggishncss of congress is Il
blessing us we'll as Il curse To the Penn
sylvuna and the b. and O. 1t keeps
other roads from gaining alu entrance TO
the city, but it is Il little aggravating
when one of the companies is planning
Il big Improvement. The PENNSYLVANIA
road, i'll conjunction with the other
lines which now use its station. wants
10 put up Il big station, one of the finest
III the country, and the engineer de
pntmcnt of the city government cannot
agree with the railroad engineers on
some details OF the plan. The railroad
engineers want TO deprcSS the tracks,
hut not so far us the District engineers
say ihcy must. They recall the time
when their station on Sixth street WAS
flooded, the year of the big .Tohnstown
disaster. remember boating on Sixth
street AT o'clock in the morning at
that time.
The city authorities say that if the
railroads Will not deprcss the tracks so
FIR they must elevate them. The Penn.

Judge Charles C. Cole. Mr.. George s.
Wilson and Mr.. Simon Wolf. the suDcom-
mittee Of the Central Relief Committee
yesterday made report to the District
Commissioners upon the work OF the com
mittee since its organization last Decem-
ber. The story Of the organization of the
Central Relief Committee on the invita-
tion OF the Commissioners; of the election
of officers and then of the raising Of
funds is told in fun in the report.
The Interesting report of the finance tom
mittee of the organization on the success
OF raising funds is quoted in full as ub-
lishedin The Times last spring. The total
receipts were $S,6I9.34, of which ST.
343.45 remains il. the treasury. In all
dition to the funds contributed, much was
also given IN the shape OF provisions, fuel
and clothing.
The plan adopted by the Central Relief
Committee OF making all disbursements
on the recommendation OF the Associated
Charities, is described and commended.
The duplication OF distribution and tie
great confusion and wasted energy under
the old plan OF working with several charity
organizations are given as the chief reasons
OF the new plan.
II Is also pointed out that the Associated
Cnariyirs have the most accurate means
of knowing deserving cases, aud of de-
tie citing professional mendi cantS from
neighboring states.
The report states that although the
amount expended was not large one,
it is believed tnat all urgent appeals
Were promptly met. No appeal deemed
worthy was refused On account Of laek
of funds The balance on hand Is nov
! being used To relieve cases Of distress
as they arise.
| The other important work taken up by
the committee was the consolidation and
maturing of plans for providing SANITARY

The New York World has abandoned

hearts and minds OF Greater New York
by publication of letters from Pontius
Plate TO Emperor Tiberius Caesar. con
corning Christ and the crucihxion. The
World is doing for theology what Rome
and the Vatican, the Anglican church
and all the writers have failed to accom-
pllsh, namely, the production of contem-
poraneous. history of a profsne nature
which portrays the Christ as he was in
the mind of the Roman ruler in Egypt
and Tudea. Should the World be able
to prove that its history is not apocryphal
it will have accomplished more for the
Christian church than all the preachers
of all the countries have been able to
prove. Mr.. Pulitzer ought TO be an
authority. His ancestors hailed from
Jerusalem. Should he prove that Christ
was the son of God, that contemporary
eous opinion substantiated the story of
the crucihxion, the resurrection and the
life of Christ, Jew would appear as the
supplement and voucher for the Christ
story and unbelief would disappear.
