SPEAKING Of 'sky-scrapers," it is
Of interest to note that, so far as the
architectural problem is concerned,
building of fifty stories is entirely
feasible. The fire problem, water
supply and city building ordinances
are the chief hindrances to doubling
the height at present attained in such
structures.

ADMIRAL DEwEY's courage is no
more admirable than his medesty,
aud does him no more credit than
the latter trait, common TO all great
and brave men. The story of his
modesty shines in his reply to Mayor
Van Wyck, of New York, who in
welcoming the great commander gave
expression to the common estimate
of the man and his work. To this
the admiral simply said: "lIow is il

Sparta's Big Wen.

drilling q well q few days ago on one
of the highest ridges in that section

feet he struck . cave, through which
a'stream large enough to turn q big
mill surged. He estimates that ten
large engines could not with the
latest improved running machinery
exhaust this underground water sup
ply. 1t is q mystery where such
body of water 80 near the top of the
Ozarks should have its source. The
stream was discovered in the midst
of the late drouth and in . locality
where other wells had been sunk to
the depth of 80 and 60 feet.

General Wesley Merritt commando
ing the Department of the East, in
his annual report. brings mp the
vexed question of the proper orga-
nization of the army, by severely
criticizing the artillery branch of the
service. He claims that the Ordn-
ance Bureau and the Quarrermasters
Department have failed TO properly
supply the artillery, but does not
suggest a remedy. 1t has long been
apparent that there was too much
friction and red tape between the
various armv bureaux for the good
of the service, and Secretary Root
hopes a. soon as the Luzon rebellion
Is crushed and it can be ascertained
how many men will be needed per-
manently, to introduce a complete
scheme of Reorganization of the
army.

is just as much q mystery to-day, as
it was when the atrocious crime was
committed, for there cannot be the
J slightest doubt that its destruction
was the result of design. The ex-
plosiye that did the work was taken
from the magazine by couple Of
Spaniards, who undoubtedly acted

deed, there was every reason to set
them out of the way. The exact

Unheedful of this threat. Edmonia visited
her husband again on November Il. When
she entered her home after returning from
the jail il was the last time she was seen
alive by anyone except Smith.
The next heard Of Edmonia was from
Smith. who four days later. when in q
state of intoXication, went to the New Jer-
sey Avenue police station and said, That
woman (meaning Edmonia) must be dead
over there" This was on November 10.
Two Of the police officers from the station
accompanied Smith to the house where he
had been living with the Jackson woman
and there found her dead. An examina-
tion of her body proved that she had been
dead at least four days, and it was be-
lieyed that she had been killed by Smith
on her return from her visit to her hus,
band at the Jail on November u.
Smith at first denied being in any way
connected with her death, but afterward
claimed that he had killed her in self
defence.
During his trial he exhibited the most
brutal Indifference as 10 the result, and
even when called for sentence posed as a
bravado and told the justice who was TO
impose the sentence that he would take
whatever was given.
Smith will be defended at his new trial
by Messrs. Francis Scott Keys Smith and
Warder VOORHEES,, both of whom appeared
for him before. 1t is not probable that
anything more than the impaneling of the
jury will be accomplished today.

THE IDYLLIC WOMAN.
The Rev. DIR. Radcliffe breaches on
the Lesson of Ruth's Devotion.

The Rev. Wallace Radcllffe, ID. u. de-
livered the third OF his series Of sermons
on Some Interesting Women at the New
4.-e--.e r.eehs-.~r;"" chs""h Last
night, taking for his subject The Idyilic
Woman
The text was from Ruth i:16, II. and
Dr. Radcliffe pictured the story OF Ruth
and Naomi with great force and sympa-
thy. In part he said:
This was the expression of the longing
of the human heart: 'Entreat me not to
leave thee. Whittier thou goest l will
go. and whittier thou lodgest 1 will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people. and thy
God my God The utterance of Ruth has
been translated into every language, and
literature is filled with it. The saying OF
Ruth 1900 years ago has become proven
bal
THE mother and daughters stood al the
parting of the ways. One kisses her, but
Ruth cleaves unto her. Her love for Ma
omi and her God conquers Ruth and she
pleads TO remain. This is the true woman
hood that has its greatest development in
obscure homes and is seldom brought TO
light.
And when they had proceeded TO Beth
lehem they. the women OF the town, or
course. cried out Is this Naomi Then
the passage to the place Of BoaZ, for under
the old Levitical law the poor were al
lowed to CLEAN in the corners OF the fields.
1T was an inspiring sight in those days
to see the masters treat their servants like
unto fellow men. When the master Boaz
appeared before the servants in the MORN
ing he cried out: The Lord be with you.
Now, imagine an f Street merchant com
ing into his store tomorrow morning and
crying out TO his clerks, The Lord be with
thee The clerks would get together and
whisper. The old man is crazy this morn

'Boaz has given to the world the So
luton of the problem of labor and capital.
His reapers were more to him than mere
machines and he was more to them than
he who employed them. There was no need
for unions in those days and no need for
trusts.
Ruth has always been pictured as
| standing in the field with Il sheaf in her
hand. No illustration has ever shown
her at labor in the field. This is because
of the false idea that labor and poverty
are degrading. Poverty is not a sin, it
| is an inconvenience. Work is the greatest
the greatest honors of the nine
teenth century that so many doors are

capt labor. Idleness is far worse than
labor.
The blessings of Naomi for the aims OF
BoaZ were good exchange. 1t is a good
exchange-the aims of the rich for the
blessing of the poor.
There is an mwritten law against one
side OF humanity approaching the other

always the woman who does the counting
and who approaches. She may not show
it, but she, in her soul. leads man to
