GLASGOW AN oRJEcr-LEssoN.
Leads the World III the Movement TO
Municipal Ownership.

From the Buffalo Express.
The city of Glasgow probably offers
the best opportunity for studying mod
ern municipal problems than is to be
found anywhere in the world. There
the idea of public ownership has been
carried almost to the farthest limits
consistent with practical results. 1t
has entered into the water supply
gas and electric lighting, markets, the
improvements Of the slums, the oper-
alton of tramways and public baths,
the housing Of the poor, the mainte-
nance Of museums, art galleries and
pubic halls and the organization OF a
TABOR bureau by which men and wo-
men out of employment can be aided
IN obtaining work These achievements
are monuments of past effort along the
ilne or municipal ownership. They en-
brace very wide field of activity and
OF course entail great responsibility and
much work upon the city government.
But Glasgow is not yet satisfied. 1t
IS now considering formidable list of
further enterprises of the same gem
eral character. In this list are includ-
ca the regulation of the liquor traffic,
the establishment of a works depart
ment, the elaboration of a municipal
insurance scheme, the absorption of
telephones, the opening of municipal
pawnshops, public management of
medical service and municipal banking.
There is also talk of municipal found
ries and bakeries. The plan for civ
banking has received the Endorsement
of the town council and an appeal will
be made to parliament for power ia
receive deposits and issue notes. Mu-
nicipal insurance has been adopted in
principle, but thus far has been con-
fined to risks on corporation property.
Some of the advanced reformers are
advocating the extension of the sys-
tenn to all kinds of property. They be-
lieve the time is coming when the great
cities of the United Kingdom will pro-
vide the cheapest of general insurance
against fire. All this is taking place in
a leading city of a country which has
been noted for it's faith in individuai-
ism.
The experience of Glasgow IS to be
noted by the people of the Uai:ed
States as well as Great Britain, not
because 1t offers an example that
should be invariably followed. On the
contrary, that experience probably
would reveal many attempts at NUM-
cipal ownership which should warn
other places against imitation. 1t is
a remarkable fact, however, that such
deep advances into what may be call
ed practicable socialism have given
such a large measure of satisfaction.
glasgow ought to be regarded merely
as the place par excellence for obse"v-
ing now municipal ownership in its va
Tious phases works. Locked at in this
iisnt IL can give great deal of de-
talied instructions to other large cities
ABOVE all, 1t has demonstrated the gem
erai proposition that a municipality is
able TO undertake a total of enterprises
that many people have thought to be
beyond the capacity of a city govern
men..

large number to see the trap sprung
and the victim drop.
The sermon was printed by Kneeland
& Adams of Boston, and the exact date
of its delivery was Oct. 20, 1855 The
pastor of the Old South church was
evidently an expert at this sort of
preaching, for he was in great demand
and there are the bodies of murderers
buried in the Green hill district, one OF
them woman, to whom he preached in
the open air in Worcester toward the
close Of the last century.

PREACHED BIRTHSTONE SERMON.
How a Massachusetts, Minister Gave Grim

From the Worcester (Mass.) Spy,
Henry M. Clemence, the auetioneer, in
the course of his business dealings with
men throughout Worcester county
comes into possession of many peculiar
prints, but he possesses none that he
prizes more than copy of a sermon
delivered by Rev. Thaddeus Maccarty,
the revolutionary pastor of the Old
South church, to negro about to be
hanged for heinous crime. In the ante
revolutionary days it was the practice
to bring doomed criminal into church
and have the pastor preach him a spr-
itual sendoff. This sermon was deliv-
cred in the year 176S, long before the
Bostonese took it into their heads to
sever diplomatic relations between the
American colonies and their Uncle
George the English king.
This particular colored man was ap-
pretended. tried and sentenced to be
hanged by the neck. History does not
give the full name of the colored man
VINO was preached to with a rope
around his neck and a grave dug within
slSht, but in the sermon he is referred
TO as Arthur or more specifically, and
with view to giving Arthur a tip that
there was no slip of the moose likely in

Rev. Thaddeus was a great painter

birthstone and can realize how Arthur
must have felt as he sat there with the
whole of Worcester county occupying
the peWs. Arthur probably wasn't
tickled to any extent.
He was informed that a coil made OF
birthstone, with a mattress lined with
live Goals that never burned out, was
awaiting him in the event of his dying

the sermon to the people, there must
have been a large number present. In

Miss Mona Burg, daughter Of Her.
bert R. Burg, wins the gold watch Of
fered as a prize to the one selling the
| most 81 returning volunteer badges
She sold 224 out of a total of 1,073 sold
The total cash received by the recep-
ton committee was $1,323, of which
$1,O73 came from the sale of badges
and $3.50 from the donation of the foun-
dry department employees, being the re-
ceipts of their picnic on the Fourth of
July.
Bills so far incurred are not heavy.
None Of. them have been paid out of
the fund yet. meeting of the COM
mittee Is to be held next Tuesday even
ing for the purpose of auditing bills
and deciding on the disposition of the
balance on hand. 1t is desired that d
full attendance of the committee be
present. All outstanding bills should
be presented to Secretary Burg as soon
as possible SO that they may be pre-
scented to the committee Tuesday night.
In addition to the $1,323 received Ky

served at the dances Tuesday evening
We're more than $50. From this the ex-
penses which were not great. are to be
paid Tonight the ladies will audit
their accounts.
When everything is paid there doubt
less will be balance of more than
81 600 on hand. 1t is known to be the
sentiment of the committee that this
money should be used to relieve any
need among the volunteers. Some CT
the boys are reported to be i'll in the
hospital at Butte and the sudden
change from a warm climate to this
northern atmosphere probably will
cause more illness. All such cases VIII
be looked after properly.
One of the committees thoughtful
acts was to look after the baggage of
the two Anaconda companies at Butte
This baggage was piled in four big
freight cars, mixed in with the bag
gage of all the regiment. The com nit
