water rates or any other favors. Nor have
we ever attempted to advise our father to act,
or Use his influence in favor of any person or

capable of thinking and acting for himself
Now, by way of little information for
this poor, deluded "heavy taxpayer" and
all others who may be so unfortunate as to
fall into his way of thinking and calculating
we append the following figures to show that
the proprietors of the Hotel Gladstone are
now paying over three times the rate charged
this ''indignant' individual
Water rates are as follows:
80 cents per capita,
rs cents per family of two,
81 per family of three,
120 per family of four, and 20 cents pc,
capita over four, Plus 20 per cent.
The Hotel Gladstone pays s cents per l 600
gallons, amounting to S49.S7 for the last
quarter, which will average more than 81 per
head per quarter for guests and help, there
being an average of less than 40 people at the
hotel who use its water daily.
The above figures are for the consideration

people who who are preudiced against the

SIZE GETS FOURTEEN YEARS
Mrs. Pleva Pleads Guilty to Murder in
the Second Degree

In accordance with the program
mapped out Wednesday at the infor-
NAL conference between Judge Fish,
District Attorney Buckmaster and
Lloyd & Mcdowell, in which it was
decided that the. attorneys should get
together and decide upon some lighter
charge for Mrs. Pleva to plead guilty to
than that of murder of the first degree
SO that a life sentence would not be
necessary, Mrs. Pleva went into court
at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon and
pleaded guilty to the charge of murder
in the second degree, and Judge Fish
at once pronounced the minimum pen
atty of the law for the offense, which
is fourteen years. Of course, good be-
havior will cut this down to about
eight years and three months. The
utmost of sympathy is expressed for
the unfortunate woman everywhere
throughout the city, and all agree that
she was very largely the victim of her
ignorance and the circumstances. She
has shown that she bears the strongest
of love for her children and they in
turn exhibit the greatest confidence in
her. The commission of her terrible
deed was undoubtedly brought about
through her desperation at being
thrown out of her home by her brutal
husband, ard, as she believed, separa-
ted forever from the care and love of
the children. These facts impressed
themselves very strongly upon the
court and all the officials.
District Attorney Buckmaster pro
poses now to see if there is not some
way in which her children can be kept
near her, so that she can at least see
them occasionally. 1t is uncertain, as
yet, whether anything can be done.
Since the family has been at the Jail
the sheriff has shown all the parties
the greatest of consideration and kind
ness. Mrs. Pleva has had entire charge
of her children and has put them to
bed every night with the tenderest Of
solicitude and prayer. These facts,
taken in conjunction with the further
fact that she does not understand q
word of English and therefore knows
very little of the meaning of the pro-
ceedings taken against her, entities
her!to all the consideration she has re-
ceiVed.

The Oldest Book.

The Oldest book in the world to
which a positive date can be assign
ed is an assortment of proverbs
somewhat after the style of the
proverbs collected by Solomon. The
work is accredited to Ptah- hotep,
an Egyptian king, and Psychologists
assign to it ala antiquity of at least
5000 B. G. Abraham was called to
leave his home in Ur OF the Chal-
dees, 1921 B. c., so that this volume
was written LOO years before the
beginning of Jewish history. The
deluge is placed by most chronolo-
gists at B. c. 2348, SO the book, if it's
dating is correct, must have been
written before the flood. Methuse-
lab was born B. G. 1917, SO that this
papyrus was prepared and these
proverbs we're collected when the
Oldest man on record was a lively
young fellow of 800 years.

The worlds Best Literature.

What is destined to remain for years
the standard library of the literature Of
the world, is just now being given from
the press. We refer, of course, to
Chas. Dudley Library of the
Worlds Best Literature.
The array of the authorities behind
this publication is simply amusing. 1t
is evident even from this hasty glance
at it's contents that each man has done
his part well. The list of the advisory
council include eleven of the foremost
professors in the universities Of the
country, and the United States COM
missioner of education, VIM. T. Harris.
Besides this advisory council 800 OF the
worlds great literary specialists are
responsible for one thousand or more
signed articles, each of which precedes
the literature itself from the author or
nation that is given in the work. Each
of these specialists, too, has it as one of
his duties to see that the literature
given in the work is representative of
the author or period for which he is
responsible. Thus Andrew D. White,
ex- president Of Cornell. t.author of the
recent work on the " Struggle of Sci
ence and Religion" chooses on parts of
Erasmus that are given in the library,
and precedes this by an extensive
essay. Thus Dowden, of Dublin, the
president of the Shakespeare and
Goethe clubs, treats on these two men
and their literature. Thus VIM. Dean
Howells is responsible for Tolstoy,
Richard T. Ely for John Stuart Mill
and Adam Smith, Harris for Hegel,
Henry James for Hawthorne, Lyman
Abbott for Henry Ward Beecher, Nc
Master for Freeman and Macaulay,
Griffith, of the British museum, for the
Egyptian literature, Toy, of Harvard,
for Acadian, Gummere upon the Folks
Song and the Ballad, and so on
through a bewildering list Of the
worlds recognized authorities.
Besides these selections from liter
allure itself, and the Introductory es-
says by specialists, there are number
of other features that help to make
the library the greatest reference work
that we know of in the world of liter
allure and ideas. A volume and half
is given over to the synopsis of 5000 Of
the most famous books of the world,
whether these are scientific, philosoph-
ical great novels, epic poems or the
like. This, to US, seems most valu-
able feature simply because it is mani
testify impossible for any one to read
these 5000 books, but it is certainly
possible to tell from this synopsis what
one it is you wish to read. Besides
this it is evident that these works are
those in which the ideas and truths
that have been developed by any man,
epoch or nation have been expressed.
There are LOCO portraits, a biograph-
ical dictionary of over 10000 authors,
and thorough analytical index of the
whole work. But space prevents our
giving any adequate idea, either to the
immensely of the work itself, or of the
undertaking which it has involved. We
are in position to see that any one of
our subscribers who will drop us card
will receive further information upon
the matter.

seacoast and Civilization.

It is an odd theory, yet no doubt
the correct one, that the coast area
of Europe has probably had more to
do with the commercial and social
supremacy of that continent than
any other cause Investigation will
show that Europe has mile of coast
for every 164 square miles Of its
land area, while the Americas,
which rightly come next, have $50
square miles of land to every mile
of coast. Asia has 376 miles and
Africa $50 square miles to each mile
Of coast. The low order of culture
still prevailing ON the dark CONT
nent, though its history is as old as
that of any other portion OF the
world, is almost indisputable evil
dence of the correctness OF this the
