STOLE THE POOR-BOX.
Another Mysterious Theft from ST.

The theft OF coppers from a dead mig

Peters Cathedral a few days ago when
the noor-box that sits al the front door
was carried of.
A few evenings ago. about nightfall. a
man rang the bell at the episcopal resi-
dence. and when one OF the Bishops cleri-
cal assistants came to the door, informed
him that he had just met a man on the
street with a poor-box half-concealed I'M
der his coat. and expressed the opinion
that IL was from 81. Peters. The father
did not attach any importance 10 the
mans story.
When the church wa opened the next
morning. however, II was discovered that
the poor-bOx was gone. There Is no clue

but IL Ii thought hat Roy Richmond. now

the theft OF a rosary from the pocket of
Father Michael. ma have taken the
poor-box. 1t is thought the amount stolen
was not over 81.

Cooperative Real Estate.

In one way and another the example set by the great corporations and trusts is bearing fruit among the common peo- pie of America, who are not slow to learn things to their advantage. They are finding out that if few rich men can put their large means together into capital sufficient to prosperously carry on great and lucrative enterprises many poor people can put together their small means and thus form working capital equal to the conducting of any business successfully.
 This is shown in the system of CO., operative real estate ownership now be- coming popular in the largest cities. Here real estate is so high i'll price that no one man of small means can hope to possess any in his own right But he may own one of thousand shares in q piece of real estate and draw propor tionate percentage of its earnings h. vestment companies, fortunately usual ly reliable, are organized for the pur chase of land and tie building thereon of houses. The person of small means buys so many shares in these companies and receives generally to 6 per cent interest or dividend on his money.
 The incomes are derived from rents, and if we'll managed all expenses can be paid and a dividend of to per cent cleared for the investor. Thus if one poor person cannot hope to own a great hotel 100 poor persons can do so and get their share of rent and profit.

Creating n Army Quickly.

Lieutenant s. M. Foote of the Fourth United States artillery describes in his prize essay his plan for raising an Amer ican army in hurry In case we should suddenly be attacked by foreign coun- try. It is to be hoped such thing will never happen. It is sound policy to be ready for such an event. however. Americans must not forget how to march and carry arms.
 Lieutenant Foote's essay is published in the army periodical with the name of The Journal of the Military Service Institution. If it took general as long to give an order on the battlefield as to pronounce the name of that mili tary journal, there might indeed be danger that a foreign army would come on us unawares. For Notifications and for armies in the field the lieutenant estimates that 460, 900 volunteers would be needed, with from 20, GOO to 25, 900 officers. His idea is to have the plan of a volunteer army already prepared and wrought out on paper, with skeleton regiments ready to be filled at q days notice. Each state should be ready to furnish its quota of infantry, cavalry and artillery, and the plan would be so complete that there would be no con- fusion and little delay The officers for the army should be named and appoint ed, so that the men could drop in line, the officers would take their place at the head and at the signal off they would go. The means of subsisting this great army should be always fa- miliar to those who have such mat ters in charge in the United States mil itary service. While we need no stand ing army, it is not best to let all mili- tary preparation lapse during these times of profound peace.
 Lieutenant Foote believes that with their standing armies and powerful navies any of the nations of Europe could be completely ready to attack us in a month if war were declared, while we would be defenseless.

Once or twice week certain New York papers have terrible scare head lineo story that we are trembling on the brink of war with Spain, now, to- day and that the thunders of the re. speetive guns of each country will be reverberating through tho streets of the others ports before sunrise. The news is undoubted, scream the New York journals. The readers glance at the big scare headlines and pay not so much at tention to them as they would to the barking of a dog at their door. They know so we'll the scare tactics resorted to by the proprietors of the journals in order to sell extras and advertise them selves. The world wags on as peacefully in the face of their terrible news as if there wasn t a scare headline in exist ence. Such papers would not be believ- ed if there were to come a real war and the announcement of it should be first made in their columns. They have cried wolf" about a hundred times too off, ten. They lave no more influence in tho community in which they circulate than so much waste paper. No newspaper can have any influence unless it tells the truth.
 ruere IS rejoicing in France because the birth rate is shown by vital statis- tics to be increasing. But if the newly arriving infants are to be as fussy and excitable as the present day Frenchman what is the good of them.

Why Nansen Ran Away.

The solution has at length been found for the mystery of why Nansen sudden ly threw over all the rest of his lecture engagements in America and fled pre- eipitately back to Europe, leaving him. self liable for a $20, 900 damage suit. It was the social kindness that wss uni versally forced on him in the United States. No wonder he ran away. Lee turers in this country are nearly killed with the social invitations that they are forced to accept or offend some local great gun in the place where they speak. To save expense or for some other reason it is common for private citizens to len tertain'' in their homes the lecturers that visit their place. The one thing es- sential above all to speaker before he appears on the platform is to rest and be away by himself an hour or two. He must have this breathing space or he cannot do himself justice. If it is not allowed to him, he will inevitably break down before a season is over.
 But the not unusual way IS to lnylte in lot of neighbors and have great dinner or supper party for the lecturer. He must entertain the whole gaping crowd with the brilliancy of his conyer- sation at dinner. and sometimes even devour i'll addition slab of mince pie and thick slice of pound cake, after which he must pull together as best he may the remains of the vital force which has been tortured out of him and appear before his audience a stupid, broken lecturer, cursing in his heart his fellow man. It is system of downright murder. No wonder Nansen turned his back on it and fled, thinking he got off cheap even at a cost of $2o. 900. And he did.

American Holidays.

Except Christmas and New Years, our United States holidays commemo- rate something in our national history, either the birth of great American leader or an event which turned the scale in our favor in some intense crisis. Thanksgiving, the first especially Amer ican feast day, celebrated with rejoie- ing the deliverance of the little colony of Massachusetts bay from starvation. The Fourth of July renews ever our grateful remembrance of the birth of this nation; the 22d of February the birth of the man who more than any one else preserved it's life after it was born.
 It was many years before Washing ton s birthday was made national holi- day. Then, for many years more, he stood alone. the only man great enough to have day set apart for him. -~saa-
 Two naval officers, father and son, the Selfridges, both rear admirals on the retired list of our sea fighters, are something unusual in the history of any nation. Rear Admiral Thomas o.
