REV. CHARLES II. SHELDON.
There will be no Sunday paper, but
instead Saturday evening paper suit
able for Sunday reading.
May God bless the use of this pa
per to the glory of his kingdom on
EARTH" says Rev. Mr. Sheldon in con-
Guiding his leader
The first item on the first page today
is a prayer written by Bishop John A.
Vincent, Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
A page is devoted to local news, and
the leading features for today are re-
ports of a temperance revival and an
anti-cigarette meeting. Mr.. Sheldon
instructed the ponce reporter that in
case of murder or other crime to
write a bare statement of the facts.
The sporting editor was given space
for bowling contest at the Y. M. C.
A., but the dramatic editor was ex-
cused from duty.
One page is reserved for telegraph
news. which ordinarily occupied about
three times the space. The war news
is the feature of the page, Mr.. Sheldon
considering the prospects of peace the
best possible news.
A five hundred word story on the
religious outlook in Kansas City,
scheduled by Kansas City core
spondent, was promptly accepted by
telegraph.
The market reports are cut from
four columns to one All quotations
on stocks and bonds. giving options
and other matter involving the trans
actions in futures were consigned to
the waste basket, and only the actual
cash prices of grain, produce, ETC.. are
quoted.
A notable feature of the paper is the
method of handling advertisements.
They are banished from the news and
editorial pages and punched in places
reserved for them The censorship
here is even more rigorous than in the
news columns, and large quantity of
this class of matter has already been
cut out, including all relating to pat
ent medicines.
The first page, usually occupied by
telegraphic news, is devoted principal
ly to articles on the famine in India,
anti-militarism and Kansas prohib-
itory law

The Kentucky situation is somewhat
clarified by the resistance of the usurper
Governor Taylor to the decree of the conrtsi
and by his attempted pardon before con-
viction of persons accused by the murder
of Senator Goebel. By this action Taylor
places himself wholly outside of the law
and depends wholly upon the success of
his outlawry for maintaining his position.
The end of such course may be postponed,
but it must come, and soon.

Rafdfng Fashfonable RESORTS.

New York, March 15.-The police
carried out their threat last night and
arrested the proprietors of most of the
fashionable restaurants, including the
proprietor of the Imperial hotel, on the
charge of having music in their res
taurants without concert hall Ii
cense. The police also visited such
places as the Hotel Majestic. the Marie
Antoinette. the st. Andrew and the
Empire, and ordered that the music be
stopped. Intense indignation was
manifested by some of those who came
under the severe hand of the police
last night and they were enraged that
they should be arrested in the same
class with offenders like the pro-
prietors of the Tiyoli, the Bohemia,
the Cairo Cafe and other places of I'M
savory reputation.

Capital all the usual cards of the
fraternal societies, and when, at the
daily conference with the special cor
respondents. he was asked why he
had taken this action, remarked that

He said also that he did not endorse
the sentiment or principle of all the
articles that he puts in the paper or
consents to be used. He was asked If
he approved the article in yesterday

Of socialism in Massachusetts.
Not all of it, he replied.

WANAMAKER,S.
Philadelphia. Monday. March u, 1901
DIR. BoIles'
" Pennsylvania"

A plain story of the life and
growth of the Commonwealth
from 1909 to I79o-a great
theme most capably treated by
the master hand of Albert S.
BolIes, Phi. d., Ii. D., Lee
turer in the University of
Pennsylvania and Haverford
College. To the preparation
of this work he broughtfrst of
all a singularly fine equipment,
including capacity for faith
fulresearch which reveals itself
not ostentatiously in every
chapter-and a narrative style
of which the chief charm is its
unaffected simplicity.
The work is in two parts;
thehrs treats of William Penn
and the Provincial Governors;
politics and the early wars;
causes of the Revolution; the
part Of the Pennsylvania sol
diery therein and all the mat
tiers Of the succeeding peace
till the adoption of the second
Constitution in 1890.
The second part treats of
immigration; land and labor;
trade and manufactures; local
government; highways and
transportation; climate and
health; society, dress and
amusements; education and
literature; science and inven-
ton; architecture and fine arts
in Pennsylvania.
This summary shows the
comprehensive nature of the
work, but gives no hint of its
picturesqueness and its rich
ness in State lore. No page
that any well-informed Penn
sylvanian or American will
want to skip. Lots Of pages
that the Philadelphia will
find fascinating by their local
charm. One chapter tells how
Penn bought the site of the
city from three Swedish broth
ers and how he laid it out:
Two streets were to front the two rivers,
connected by an avenue one hundred feet
in width, adorned with trees and gardens.
At a right angle with this which was to
be called High street was Broad street,
of equal width The city, therefore. was
to be divided into four sections. In the
center public square of ten acres was
reserved, and in the middle of each quar-
ter similar square of eight acres for the
pleasure and recreation of posterity.
Eight streets, each of them fifty feet
wide. were to parallel Broad street. Penn
encouraged the building of detached
houses, with grass and plants around
them. He was DESTROYS of having "a
green country town"

Pittsburg, March 13.-Late yesterday
afternoon the answer of the Carnegie
Steel company, limited, defendant in
the equity suit of H. C. Prick, to de-
termine the value of his holdings in
said company, was fled in common
pleas court No. /. The answers filed
are for the Carnegie Steel company,
limited, and 80 individual defendants
The answer meets every one of Mr..
Tricks allegations, declaring that Mr..
Prick himself led in the reorganization
of the company, and was foremost in
unfolding the so-called ''ironclad
agreement" under which his holdings
have been transferred. The answer de-
clares that Tricks holdings came to
him without the expenditure of doll
lar of capital, that he has already re-
ceived from them nearly 100000,
and has nearly $5,000.000 coming TO
him, which will be promptly paid. Mr..
Carnegie's estimate of the probable

Nicholas rs Chivalry.

Rough and harsh as he was, Nicholas
L., Gar of Russia, had measure of
chivalry in his disposition. While driv-
ing through the streets of St. Petersburg
on one occasion, he caught sight of an
officer of his household in the act of up
setting an old beggar woman, whose
hands were raised in prayer for aims.
The official was quite unmindful of the
august witness Of his act, and was rath-
er pleased when, few hours later, he
was summoned to the imperial presence.
Nicholas soon undeceived him, and in the
presence of a dozen courtiers cut him to
the quick with his indignant reproof.

will walk up and down that corridor ali
night, and every time you turn you will
say, in loud voice, L am a puppy! I

Every little schoolboy and girl in
America has learned from the geography
that the fresh water current of the ANA
zon extends into the ocean twenty miles
from the mouth of that noble river, so
that ships are able to get drinking water
from the ocean when out of sight of land.
But even among the grown folk it is not
generally known that Americans nave a

pride: On still, calm days the, crew Of
the lightship anchored three miles south
west of the mouth of the Columbia

be used for drinking. This fresh water
spreads out over the surface of the ocean
