THE GERMAN NAVY.

Undaunted by the defeat of his dearly
cherished canal project, the kaiser and
his party are now massing all their
strength in an endeavor to secure the
passage of the "1otteplan" or naval
bill Whether the powerful agrarian
party which hampers all legislation of
this kind, in much the same manner
that the populist party does in Amer
lea, will be able to secure the defeat of
the measure remains to be seen. Present
indications seem to indicate that the
bill will become a law.
In case the scheme for naval increase
is adopted, the result will be an over
throw Of the worlds balance of power
on the sea. With Germany the second
sea power in Importance, and with Aus
tria following her lead, the dreibund
may in time surpass England as a sea
power. This may account for England's
obvious endeavor to establish an en-
tente with Germany.
The moral in this for the United
States is to keep pace with Germany in
the building of ships. The arrogance of
that nation at Manila Bay should not be
forgotten. Teutqnic self-assertiveness is
not likely to abate with an increased
fleet.

; PROGRESS OF INVENTIVE GENIUS.

The recent death of Ottmar Mergen-
thaler, the inventor of the typesetting-
machine bearing his name, recalls to
mind forcibly the changes which have
taken place and the advances along
the line Of labor saving contrivances
for the printer which have been intro
duced during the present century. This
growth and advancement in the art of
printing is co-existent with the growth
of The Spy. 1t has taken years of hard
work TO bring both to the degree of
perfection in which we find them to-
day. The inventor of the modern type
setting machine, like the early pro-
prietors of The Spy. had much to con-
tend with, but by persistent effort and
application the machine and The Spy
stand today unrivaled in their respect
i've fields of usefulness.
1t would be interesting if Isaiah
Thomas, the first proprietor of The
Spy, were alive to learn his opinion of
the advance which has been made in
the methods employed today in the set
ting of type as compared with those
in use at the time of the founding of
The Spy, By the use of these almost
human machines newspaper methods
have been entirely revolutionized and
the cost of production cheapened.

REPUBLICAN CITY COMMITTEE

The word of warning uttered by The
Spy a few weeks ago regarding mem
bership in the republican city COM
mittee is worth considering just now
Since the republican caucuses several
Of the members of the committee have
seen Mt to cast aspersions against the
chairman without any apparent good
excuse. They have been prompted by
petty jealousies and discord to do
things and say things which on sober
second thought they would themselves
class as childish. No body of men ami
mated by such a spirit can ever become
leaders in a great political work such
as the republican party has to perform
in this city. They should be above
mere factional party strife; should
work together for the common good of
the party, and be an aid rather than a
hindrance to the chairman. Mr.. Part
ridge has proved himself a man of af-
fairs, capable of administering the
work of the committee for the great
est benefit of the republican party, and
he should be sustained in his work. 1t
is to be hoped that the members of the
committee will not forget their duty to-
night and take any action they may re-
greet in the future. The welfare of the
party should be their motto. All pet
ty differences should be relegated

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.

Although the local real estate mar
ket is reported fairly good and there
is the usual activity in building for
this season of the year, 1t is neverthe-
less fact that there are more unoc-
cupied tenements in all sections of the
city than usual. Property holders find
it extremely difficult to rent or lease
tenements in or near the centre of the
city t rates which would be a fair
percentage on their investment. Va
rious causes are assigned for this real
estate condition. 1t is undoubtedly
gress Of years and the steady trend
of invention, come TO see the advan-
tages possessed by the modern fat or
apartment. and relinquish the comforts
Of home for the benefits of the apart
ment with all its labor-saving devices
which are a delight to the housewife.
There is another cause for this he
gira, however, and it is becoming a
more potent factor in real estate, year
by year, and that is the rapid extern
sion OF electric systems into the va
rious towns Of the country. So ample
are the transportation facilities be-
tween the city and many Of the coun-
ty towns that it is entirely possible for
even n iaboring man to reside in any
one of a half dozen towns nearby and
work in the city. The rent rate in
any of these towns is about quarter

MAURICE GRAU

Maurice Grau is receiving the con-
gratulations of friends over his latest
successes. If rumors from Europe are
to be believed, he is to receive a great
er distinction than the Legion of
Honor conferred on him last summer
by the French government. This was
done, of course, as a reward for his
encouragement of French dramatic and
musical art; and that his efforts in
this direction are not at an end is
shown by the combination of the two
most famous French actors whom he
proposes to bring to this country, says
the Sun.
Now comes the report that the en-
peror of Austria is to make him ba-
ron, and this TO be done by comforting
on him the order of the Black Eagle.
The only difficulty in this would seem
to be the necessity for all persons who
receive this order to be Austrian sub
jects.
Mr.. Grau was born in Grunn, and
his family has lived there for many
years, but he long ago became an Am
erican citizen, and in spite of his TO-
reign BIRTH he is as distinctly an Am
erican as any man who has never been
out of the country. 1t is one of the
curious Incidents of his return to this
country that he has never yet referred
in any interview TO the fact of his de-
coration by the French government,
although he very naturally must have
felt fiattered by the honors.

calendar list of streets both for morn
ing and afternoon calls by the pastor.
A pledge card inviting weekly sub
scription for two years was distributed
at the church and also sent ahead each
week TO those upon whom the pastor
expected to call. When the call was
made DR.. Conrad made it as a pastoral
call, saying nothing about the debt I'M
less the matter was mentioned by the
one he was calling on.
Invariably the amount to be given
was left entirely to the individual and
no one was asked for any special sum.
II was voluntary from first to last. Dur
ing this time DIR. Conrad preached
every Sunday morning and evening pre-
pairing his sermons at night and never
putting less study upon them than
usual. He also had to write three illus
trated lectures during the time. 1t is
not strange, then, that ne confesses
himself completely exhausted with the
task.
Yesterday morning it was known that
the result would be announced. AS usual
the church was full. DR.. Conrad
preached from I Isaiah, lx:17-"For
brass 1 will bring gold, and for iron
will bring silver, and for wood brass
and for stone iron"
At the conclusion Of the sermon he
gave an account of his work in raising
the debt and stated that not until 9
o'clock the previous evening had he
known the result. He said: 81 asked for
$4,000 and have subscriptions amount
ing to upwards of S22 600" He then ex-
pressed his appreciation of the earnest
ness of the people and proposed that
$4,000 be raised during the next twenty
minutes.
Cards were distributed while the choir
sang. Then the pastor made some ex-
plantations and the choir sang again
while the cards were collected, In the
afternoon the amounts subscribed were
found to be well toward the $4,000 asked,
with many to hear from who had in
dicated their purposes to give. In the
evening further subscriptions were
made. and when counted it was found
that the entire amount exceeded $50, 900.
The present Indebtedness is $2S 900,
and it is hoped that with the excess
amounts, electric lights may be put in
the church. as one or two large sub
scriptions were made conditional upon
this being done should the amount be
in excess Of indebtedness.

Evening Service at Union Church
Made Very Attractive.
The evening service at Union church
yesterday, with special musical fea-
lures, attracted a large attendance. The
quartet was assisted by Mrs. F. w.
Ruggles. The preliminary organ mu-
sic was a selection of Tours, with ro-
nance, prelude and allegretto move
ments. The organ prelude was by
MerkeL Following a hymn by the con-
gregation, a Thanksgiving anthem,
Behold, thou shalt call a nation" was
rendered by the basso, J. H. Howell;
soprano, Miss Alice M Eastman and a
large chorus. The quartet, composed
of Miss Alice M Eastman, Miss Gerald
Inc Damon, ]. H. Howell and f. l. Day
gave Rutenber's Hymn of praise" A
trio, consisting of Mrs. Ruggles, Miss
Damon and Miss Eastman, gave, How
blest are they"
Rev. DIR. John E. futile, the pastor,
wishes to call especial attention to the
culture of sacred music in Union
church. Through the work of the
choirmaster, Henry Dixie Sleeper, the
general standard of the singing has been
much elevated. Some special features
in music will be frequently given at the
Sunday evening services during the
winter.

as much as for the same accommoda-
tons in the city, and the fare is only
a slight expense. The sanitary condi-
tons are also far superior to those in
some sections of the city, while the
school facilities are ample. All things
considered, in many cases it is for
the advantage of the laborer to seek
for home in the country within easy
distance from his work upon a line of
street railways. The saving in rent
goes = supply more of the necessaries
and luxurie of life, which make life
more worth the living.
