JOHN WANAMAKER.

sation Joined the Democrats to beat
a political criminal. A wealthy nan
himself, he likes to thunder anathe-
mas at greedy monopolists. He has a
way of going from the stump to the
Sunday school, but his principles in
both places are the same. Mr.. Wanna
makers name is a household word In
Philadelphia. The employees in his
wonderful retail store take a personal
pride in its greatness, but the pro-
prietor himself Of recent years has
paid as much attention to politics as
to business. The same restless energy
that built up the immense emporium
accomplished much the same results
with the Philadelphia Young Mems
Christian Association. That energy
the former postmaster general has
thrown into his efforts for the political
reform of his state, and these efforts
have not been without results. Mr..
Wanamaker's friends regret that he
did no 80 into politics earlier, or at
least that he did not begin his public
political ministry at a younger age.
His best excuse, however, is found in
his intense interest in religious move
ments, in which, for long, he believed
that political as well as all other re-
generation lay. At all events he is
worrying the senior senator from
Pennsylvania.

the organization concerns itself. For
some years he has been professor of
economics at Yale, and his writings

His textbook, Economics" is n of
the most useful volumes of it's kind and
is held in high esteem. Professor Had
ley has a reputation as an economist
that is not limited to the United States
and he is in every way fitted for the
post voted him by his fellows in the
association. He is the trainer of

Canada, sat in the house of commons
for an English constituency. An IT.

Vincent Scully, the member for Tip

slapped him on The shoulder and said,

The other, annoyed by this form of ad-
dress, rejoined: 81 will thank you, my
lord, not to deprive my name of the

terance in the house to a ludicrous
confusion of thought. A landlord had
been murdered in Tipperary, and dur
ing a discussion in regard to the crime,
an attempt was made to prove that it
was agrarian. Mr.. Scully spoke of the
murdered man in terms of the highest
praise. He was much beloved" said
he; "he distributed food to the. starv-

In the presence of a congregation of
over 1000 people gathered in the Men

There were twelve candidates for the

Quoted by Bishop Isaac Eby, assisted
by over a score of ministers, the can
didates being first examined as to
their faith. After a sermon by the
bishop the latter handed twelve small
Bibles to two ministers and instructed
them to repair to the ante-room and
place a small slip of white paper,
which he had given them, in the cor
ner of one OF the twelve Bibles. Upon
their return the Bibles were set On
end on a table at the foot of the pulpit.
One by one the candidates stepped I'D
and selected a Bible. Each book was
then examined by the bishop. who
started with Amos Charles. The next
one opened was that of Daniel N. Leh-
man. and in his Bible the slip Of
paper was found. Greeting him with
the holy kiss, Bishop Eby Immediately
ordained him to the ministry in the
informal but impressive custom of the

THESE war revenue stamps are GER

quently you use the wires in the course
or the day you are still as liable as
ever to forget to stamp the last mes
sage. A few nights ago | had occasion
to send a telegram from my home, and
the servant came back in about an
hour to say that I'd neglected to put
on the stamp. rushed him out to buy
a few, and after a good deal of trouble
he secured a couple at a drug store

before doing so placed the stamps
carefully on the edge of m library

ranged to suit me they had vanished

knew of anything more mysterious. l
was certain down to a fraction of an
inch where l had put the COMPOUNDED
things. There was no breeze or cur
rent OF air to have carried them away,
and no time for them to be hidden by
accidental disorder. Yet they were
gone; that was undeniable, and we
searched and researched in vain. We
pr1ed into all sorts of impossible hooks
and crannies, and at last gave up in
despair. l was tired out, grimy and
exasperated, and rather than go to any
further trouble concluded to wait I'M
til next day before sending the tele-
gram. When l got down to the store
in the morning 1 pulled off my coat,
and the first thing l saw was the two
stamps sticking to my sleeve at the
elbow. l suppose I must have touched
them accidentally while writing, and
they hung to the cloth like grim death.
Anyhow, I had had them right there,
literally at my elbow, all the while
we were making that search. l didn't
say anything, because l couldn't think
of anything that seemed to fit the case.
But telegraph stamps are a nuisance.
They ought to be abolished and some
thing substituted that involves less
sorrow and sweat and swearing"

An Economical RAN.

Chief Engineer w. T. Manning Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
invented a new rail that experts say
has many points of interest to rail-
road owners, the principal one being
its economical feature. 1t is well
known that rails wear rapidly on
curves and where these are short and
traffic heavy, the cost of renewal is
very large. Manning has evolved a
section, which, he asserts, will reduce
the cost 81 per cent per ton per year..
He adds materially to the life of the
rail by placing additional metal in the
head and on the side upon which the
wear comes The new rail will be
given a thorough test on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, the receivers
having ordered 1000 tons from the
Carnegie Steel Co. The Pittsburg
& Western has also ordered 500 tons.

CANADA'S NEW COLONIES.
The Spirit Wrestlers of Russia Have Not

wrestIed in Vaip.
The London Daily News says: The
Spirit Wrestlers of Russia, the sect
opposed to all war, have not wrestled
in vain. The Car has listened to their
cry for exemption from the duty OF
Staying their fellow creatures, and has
given them permission to leave Rus
STA. 1t is one more proof of the per-
feet sincerity of his policy of peace.
Some thousands are to be personally
conducted to Canada by Count Serge
Tolstoi, son of the great writer, and
at the expense of the Society Of
Friends. The Dowager Empress was
intercessor for them, and her gain in
influence is the loss of M. P~obedonost-
zeff, the famous Procurator of the Holy
Synod. This burning Zealot is for a
short way with all sectarians, and as
the Stundists, in particular, know to
their cost, he can make their lives a
burden to them. His feelings on see
ing the meek Doukhobortsi withdrawn
from his clutches may be better imag-
ined than described. But he has stead
lily lost power under the present Gar,
though the prophecy that he would be
the first to disappear in the new reign
has yet to be fulfilled. The Gear Is
evidently for letting down gently all
round, and the D~oukhobortsi will not
mind the Procurator when once they
get on the safe side of the northwest
frontier. They are a sort of peculiar
people of Russia who are under the
absolute dominion of a text. Their
text tells them not to kill, and as they
are perfectly ready to be killed for
their obedience to it, they have finally
won the immunities of most other con-
scientious DIRECTORS. 1t is, in fact, nom
resistance to the death. Count Leo
Tolstoi is VIGOROUSLY of their way of
thinking. He is said to have learned
it all from a peasant who never raised
a hand against any fellow creature.
The peasant was going home one
night, when he met a thief who was
marching off with a sack of corn from
his hut. "My friend" he said, touch
ing him on the shoulder, there was
another sack behind the door" The
first one was returned.
