Some one Of an inventive turn Of mind has
recently put into circulation the grotesque state
ment that Mr. H. NJ. Alden, the Editor Of "Har-
pers Monthly" would soon be superseded by
gentleman at present holding the position Of
president in a Western college. Denials were
at once made by the Messrs. Harper and the
Doubleday G. Mcclure Company-both firms
having been mentioned in the imaginative re-
port-the senior publishers attributing It Wig
orously to the father of all false news" No
familiar with Mr.. Aldens labors as the
dean OF American magazine editors waited for
the denials in order 10 estimate the news" at
its proper value. Pre-eminent at once for his
conservative judgment and for his quick per-
ception OF whatever is freshest and best in
contemporary letters. Mr.. Alden is an indispen-
sable pillar Of periodical literature in this coun-
try. To him is largely due the high position OF
"Harpers Monthly" here and abroad His
flexible taste and inflexible standard have been
invaluable TO American authors and readers
and the gentleman from the West would be the
first TO realize the serious loss to both which
would ensue from a cessation OF Mr. Alden's
wise ministrations.

present time Dean Hoffman,. rich, cultured,
courted by society, has been a friend OF the
workingman. He has no sympathy with
the gradual desertion by the churches OF
those oity regions which are crowded with
Industrial population. He believes the en-
tire downtown church" problem compare
lively simple and easy Of solution along
lines long since found out in Philadelphia,
where he established the first workingman's
club ever organized in America. That was
just three decades ago, in 1869, the first
year Of his service as rector of st. Marks,
one OF the most fashionable churches in the
City Of Brotherly Love. Socially consid-
cred. the roll of 400 communicate was
irreproachable. The congregation included
may of the most prominent personages in
the town. Most rectors would have thought
such an assemblage as DR.. Hoffmann Off
clated before every Sunday an ideal one.
But from his viewpoint there was something
lacking. Few or no working persons were
ever to be seen in the pews OF st. Marks,
despite the fact that the neighborhood sup
ported a large industrial population.
The founding OF the ST. Marks Working
mems club was DR.. Hoffmann's first move
toward interesting the toilers in st. Marks

approved the organization, but the Tabor

phia being not exactly like those obtaining
in England we had to work out a plan Of
our own. The first thing we did was to take
quarters over a market place. Our CONVEX
sation' room was fitted up comfortably with
chairs and tables and supplied with cur
rent reading matter, the daily papers and
such class periodicals as we thought would
interest the men, especially predominating
In one room games were allowed. There
were rooms where the men could smoke and
others where they could not. We aimed to
give them everything that could make
their evenings pleasant and helpful and In
a very short time We had a membership of
a thousand. In the ten years I was with st.
Marks there was not one unpleasant Incl
dent in the club, and its hold upon it's men,
bers increased steadily. 1t is still prosper
ous.
How did We conduct the st. Marks club
I'm the simplest manner possible. To begin
with, we didn't talk too much religion to the
members and We didn't worry them much
about going to church. We asked them tc
pay 25 cents a month for the privileges and
having furnished them with various means
of comfort and amusement in return for this
charge, let them do about as they pleased
within certain limitations. We gave then
coffee and tea to drink and furnished ligh
lunches at moderate cost. We got up lee
lures on subjects we thought they woufC
like and profit by. We taught them hygiene

in talks on air and dirt Occasionally
we gave them concerts and other entertain
ments in place of the lectures. We included
insurance and sick benefits in the clubs
features, We saw to it that some person
of Intelligence and force of character, not
enc of them, was among them in each room
every night, in order to keep the current
always turned in the right direction. The
games included billiards, backgammon,
checkers and the like, but not cards. The
refreshments served did not include beer,
In my judgment beer would have ruined
everything. We excluded cards out Of re-
spect TO the prejudices Of the town. They
might have been no more harmful than
checkers, provided there was no gambling,
but II would have been foolish to allow
icardplaying in a Philadelphia workingman's
club" %.

club in which the members weren't much
worried about religion attracted many OF
its members to the church.

by degrees, yes. We didn't hasten mat
tiers, bur now and again there would be

most excellent organization and plays Il
splendid class of music. The chief musician,
George W.. Landers, is a native of New York,
but has made his home in Centerville, Ia,
for the last twelve years, half OF which time
he has been the regimental old Third Iowa
National Guards bandmaster. Mr.. Landers
is not altogether a dress parade soldier, as
his record shows. When the war started
he left home and family and with
his regiment ready to go to the front. AS
sembling what he could of his old guard
band, he advertised for recruits to fill va
%cancies, and so well was his band known
throughout Iowa, that seventy-fve applica-
tons were received from musicians of the
state in less than six days. Selecting those
he wanted, the band was soon organized and
with the regiment came on with it to
San Francisco. Mr.. Landers is a worker
and soon had the band in good shape and in
a very short time it became quite popular
in the Golden Gate city and made many
warm friends for the regiment. During the
stay of ninety-five days on the transport the
band did much to help the time glue along
smoothly, giving, as a rule, two concerts
daily. At Honolulu the national band en-
tertained them and the day the transport
sailed from the Pacific's Pearl, Captain
Berger brought the band down to the wharf
and consolidated it with the Iowa band and
the air resounded with national and patriotic
music. Captain Berger presented Mr.. Ian
ders with a number of pieces Of native music
which are highly priced.
when the regiment was landed at Cavite
the band soon made friends, so that great
crowds used to assemble at their concerts.
Then came the order to go to the front. In
struments and music were packed away and
shouldering their long toms the boys of
the band fell in with those of the regiment
and marched away and have been serving as
private soldiers ever since. The band num-
bers thirty men all told who are a congenial
and pleasant set to meet. One of the bands
favorite pieces of music is the regimental
march, composed and arranged by Principa,
Musician w. H. Langenberg, and which
was dedicated to the regiment"

.DUTCH TEARS"
An Old Chemist Tells About an In
toresting Experiment
with Glass.

ut is great wonder" said an old
chemist in his laboratory the other
day, why more boys do not take chem
ical experiments as an amusement
Why, can do things with the common
materials of everyday life which really
seem to be more magical to the uniniti-
ated than any of the wonders per
formed by magicians on the public
stage.
"Now, there are those curious little
bubbles of glass known variously as
Prince Rupert's Drops and as Dutch
Tears Apparently they are merely
little globules of glass with elongated
tails, made by heating small glass rod
in a flame and allowing the molten
drops to fall into water. After they
have cooled you may pound the thick
part with hammer or mallet, yet you
cannot break them.
"On the other hand, if you break a
little piece off their tails, or touch any
part of them with quartz crystal, they
will Immediately disappear into the sur
rounding atmosphere. TO the person
who does not know the reason the per-
formance is most astonishing.
''And yet it is all very simple. 1t is
due to- what is known as surface CO.
hesion. Glass. when heated to molten
state, has naturally reached a very
high temperature, and when the drops
of melted glass are allowed to fall into
the cold water the sudden change pro-
duces a stress which is really terrific.
This stress, however, must be consid-
cred as a whole.
1T is very strong when taken all to-
gether, but it is exactly as though a
piece of very thin rubber was stretched
over the surface of the glass. If you
punctured the rubber its haste to re-
sumo it's normal condition would pull il
off the glass.
$50 when you break off the tailof the
drop or cut through the film of very
hard glass with a crystal its endeavorS
suddenly to resume it's normal condi-
ton result in its own destruction, and
breaks up into particles which are
eally finer than the finest sand.
'It seems like wonderful perform
lnce, but it is no more wonderful per-
formance than many others which any
youngster would perform if he would
study even the simplest form of chem
ical action" n."-Cincinnati Enquirer
