The Champion Horse Thief.

From the Washington Post
Pennsylvania has long stood at the head
of the column of states in many import
ant respects. That great. rich and power
full commonwealth now distances all COM
petitors in an industry that demands tact
and courage and is generally supposed to
have its chief center beyond the Missis-
sippi. Peter Zimmerman. a resident of In
diana county. is the champion horse thief
of the United States. This primacy may
not be as fiattering to state pride as some
other of the states achievements. But
a commonwealth that leads all the rest in
manufactures. in coal, kerosene. cricket.
and ship building: that contains the most
richly endowed college and the most costly
public building on this continent: that eX-
GELS in election frauds and defies all rivals
to pile up such Republican majorities as
she turns off on great occasions; that mas
the sharpest lawyers and the ablest doc
tors-such a commonwealth need not de-
spair when fate gives her the notoriety
incident to the possession of the cham
pon horse thief.
Peter Zimmerman has reached his 18th
year. He has passed two score of those
years in prison for borrowing horses and
not returning them. The number of these
enforced loans is placed at 159. According
to local chronicler Mr.. Zimmerman is
proud of his life work. He asserts that he
has never stolen horse from widow. and
as to orphans. he was the originator OF the
rule in respect to their property which re-
stricted the work of the Pirates of PEN
Zance within Improbable limitations. Re
ferring to his latest, or 18th operation in
equine property, Mr.. Zimmerman says:
Il spose Ill get about five years for this,
and that'u probably wind up my opera
tons. You see. I'm an old man now; five
years more'll make me 50. SO I'll probably
settle down when | get out next time
This old mans story is bad enough. and
his pride only makes it worse: but he ought
not to despair of executive ciemency. II is
frequently extended to greater rascals than

EDUCATION AND MORALITY.

DO people grow better as they know
more?" This is the question which Mr.
Charles W. Wendte has set himself to an
swer in his article on Popular Education
and Public Morality" in last months num-
Der of the New World. He first reviews
the criminal statistics of Germany, Italy
and France, all of which show a marked
coincidence between the spread of public
Instruction and the increase of crime. This
increase is especially noteworthy as re-
CARDS youthful offenders In France. for
example, between the years 1926 and 1881.
the crininality of young men from Is to u
years OF age quadrupled; that of young
women nearly tripled; that OF children
doubled. \ still greater increase is noted
III the period following from 1880 TO 1893.
Mr.. Wendte, however is not one of those
who believe that statistics prove all things.
He does not think that tins mere coinci-
dence warrants the conclusion that iEnor-
arce is most favorable TO individual and
social virtue. He believes that far more
potent elements in swelling the annals of
crime are to be found in the increased ac-
tiyity of courts and police. the creation of
new catalogues of crimes unknown to for
mer generations, the transfer OF men Of
the old-established order 10 new social and

obcrnm morgan Modernized.

From the London Chronicle.
Already there are numerous indications
that the influx of visitors to Oberammergau
for next years Passion Play will far sur
pass all previous pilgrimages. From all
parts of Europe and America, and especial
ly from France. numerous letters have
reached the priest and village authorities,
asking for information.
1t is row definitely settled that the first
representation will be on May 20. and that
the last will be at the end of September.
There will be thirty-eight performances in
all. Next month the roles will be allotted,
and the rehearsals will be started imme-
diately afterward. 1t is certain that Herr
Josef Meyer will not take the part of
Christ His advancing age and increasing
infirmfties are the cause of this.
At next years performances an attempt
will be made to add dignity to the musical
portion of the representation. The chOruses
hitherto have been very weak. There Will
now be thirty-three choristers.
The large new iron theater, which will
be entirely covered in. and lighted by long
narrow windows. is being rapidly proceeded
with The stage will be in the open air.
The auditorium will be 1i3 feet long, and
will accommodate 1000 spectators. Two
further improvements are also established
for the purpose of assigning visitors suita-

drive to the village from the railway will
be abolished. as well-equipped electric mo-
tor cars will take visitors from Oberau in
half an hour Needless to say, the villagers
do not like these departures. They say it
will detract from the devotional attitude
which all visitors to the 'Passionsspiel'' are
supposed to assume.

Dewey.s Swing Around the Circle.

From the Chicago News.
Admiral Dewey evidently recognizes the
inevitable. He has seen New York's ca
pacity for holding people and he under
stands the physical impossiblity of getting
all the inhabitants OF the United States into
IT. He must therefore. give the other 1o,
GO GO of his admirers a chance, Transport
ing a nation TO any given point is out of
the question. The admiral must become To-
comotory.
The grand trip into the West is, Of
course the only feasible method of meet
ing the exigencies of the case. Naturally
the trip will include Chicago, Omaha, San
Francisco and other important cities be-
cause they are on the railroads over which
the admiral must travel: but the stops in
those cities will be purely incidental. AS a
matter of fact the grandstand will stretch
from the Atlantic to the Pacific The popu-
ia,ion cannot be gathered at any central
Doint. but it can move and consolidate
along lateral lines marked by the Dewey
trail of railroad travel. The railroad fences
will blossom with humanity. The embank-
ments will swarm. The way stations Will
become as populous as small cities and the
Furnishing towns will look like State street
on a bargain day. 1t goes without saying
that the admiral must travel only by day
unless he can arrange to sleep on the car
platform under an electric light and the
average speed must not exceed six miles
an hour.
In this manner the people interested in
Dewey can see hirn-only ne should not
wait until spring for this trip. or by that
time half the population will be away look
ing at somebody else.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
The Bible and the Newspaper.

From the Philadelphia Press.
AT a meeting of the Ministerial Union of
this city on Tuesday, DIR. Russell II. Con-
We'll gave utterance to remark which Will
undoubtedly attract attention in religious
circles when he said that there are as
many noble thoughts and lessons to be
cleaned from the columns of a live news
paper as from the sayings of n dead proph-
ct" There is world of truth in DR..
Conwelfs statement in reply to the words
which called it forth that the Bible is
fast becoming to many an effete book. The
columns of the newspaper are not the
proper place to find pulpit themes.
The Bible must be the guide for all re-
ligious life in the Christian world 1t does
not follow that it should be used as a
pulpit theme to the exclusion of topics
drawn from the everyday life of which we
are part. 1t is possible that an impartial
investigation into the alleged decline of re-
ligious interest would reveal the fact that
much of it is found in churches where the
doctrines of creed and ceremonial are con-
stantly and unattractively preached to the
exclusion of noble lessons found in the hu-
manities of daily life, and discussed by
newspapers, which in themselves often fui-
fill the highest commands of the sacred
text.
1t will be admitted that the success
full minister of to-day is the one who most
attractively applies the great precepts of
the Bible TO the direction of secular life and
action. The newspaper of to-day is the
worldwide record of human action. To be
in touch with the throbbing life of the
world the student of the Bible must also
be q student of the daily newspaper. The
correlation of these two great forces is in
tricata and interesting. The newspaper
press is the greatest power for good. next
to the Bible, that the world has ever
known; it is the most potent, far-reaching
auxiliary that the Christian religion pos
sesses. Why then should not its columns
furnish text, suggestion and example for
the gospeller who is striving to save mems
souls and lift humanity to higher life?
In that one sentence Dr. Russell H.
Conwell gave utterance to a great truth
and one which preachers and evangelists
everywhere would do well to practice.

DEWEY SETS THE FILIpINos RIGHT.

The sending of additional ships to the
Philippines TO supplement the operations of
the increased army was not only upon the
suggestion of Admiral Dewey, but the
admiral is DESTROYS that the fact of his
making the suggestion be published among
the Fflipinos. In explanation of this re-
quest, Admiral Dewey says:
ut has been reported that have been in
favor of giving the Filipinos their indie
pendence AguinaIdo. believe, has circu-
lated this report among the insurgents. So
I'm specially anxious that in sending out
the orders to the Brooklyn and the other
ships that are to go to the Philippines the
instructions shall be accompanied by the
statement that they were sent at my re-
quest
1t may be of some strategic value to
take the Dewey wind out of Aguinaldo's
sails; but the advantage will not bear an
important relation to the general result of
subjugation which will soon be brought
about in the Philippines. Doubtless what
Admiral Dewey really sought in this re-
quest was TO establish the fact at home
that he is not wasting any sympathy upon
a hostile enemy of his country, but that
on the contrary, he is with Uncle Sam now,
as he has always been, and is standing by
the national administration.
Whether this was his object or not, it is
really more important that the admiral's
part in the enlarged operations in the ORR
ent be known to the Filipinos at home than
that Aguinaldo should be contradicted in
his Misrepresentation. Dewey doubtless
feels that he can afford to be non-com-
initial about some things, but that he can
not afford TO let stand unchallenged the
repeated and wholly unfounded intimations
that his loyalty is divided between the
United States and an armed foe.
