transportation.

One of the boldest prophecies OF re-
cent days Is that of e. p. North, who,
writing in the North American Re
view," initmates That the question of
cheap transportation has put the Unit
ed States in the first place as a manu-
facturer, with Germany and England
contesting for second place, while Eng
land will ultimately be fighting with
Russia for 5hird place. 1t is a long
thought from the busy factories of
Great Britain to a supremacy on the
part OF Russia. But Russia is con-
sidering the question of transportation,
just as the United States and Germany
have considered it,and Russia Is short
ening the distance between materials
with railroads and canals.
In the United States more than l.
100000 persons are engaged in trans
portation. The work they do proves
among the most productive that is
done, for it annihilates distance. Ii

places the wire of the Pennsylvania
mill at the farm of the Kansas granger
and the timber from the Minnesota
forests in the hands of the builder in
the cities of the east Transportation
is the assembler Of raw material and
the distributor of finished product, and
by che methods of today the American
artisan is is enabled to call upon every
section Of the country, no matter how
remote, for that which is of use to him
in his work
Transportation in the United States
has reached the lowest level of cost of
any place in the world That means
that America has the cheapest raw ma
terial, and that means that he can un-
dersell the world. The railroads and
steamboats, of America have proven
the weapons to subjugate the globe

Humors of War.

In the Transvaal there is said to be
great number of soldiers of fortune
helping the Beers. The citizens who
serve the republic under Paul Kruger
are not credited with being humorists
so that the fun of the campaign must
be credited to the alleged Irish and
Frenchmen who are fighting against
England.
Scarcely day passes but in the
news from the front there are details
of practical joke. There never was
a war with so much buffoCnery in it.
Now the Beers will heliograph asking
how Butler is, and this too, just after
they have defeated him. This is sure
ly the Irishman or the Gael. Then,
again, plugged shells were thrown into
Ladysmith on Christmas, and, instead
Of the usual bursting charge, they
We're loaded with plum pudding and
the compliments Of the season. Such
news as that is not sent at exorbitant
cable rates unless there is something
back of 1t.
Really, it sounds as part of comic
opera libretto, instead of details of one
of the most stubborn fights of modern
days. 1t shows, too, that the Beers
are not just the grim, ignorant men
people generally credit them with be-
ing. They seem to be masters of sar-
casm, for these little bits of byplay,
which must be CALLING to the staid
British, are always put in just when
they cut most.-Pittsburg News

The Growth of the Language.

The Buffalo Express says: "Our
Spanish and Philippine wars have add
ed choice number of words TO the
language, such as "trccha,' amigo,
Moro, incommunicado, 'reconcen-
trado.' etc. Now comes the Boer war
with the proof that even the outland-
ish Dutch contains words suitable for
adoption into English. Commander
ing has been taken possession of at
once, as expressing what it has hith-
erto required whole phrase to say.
Still better is kaffirgram, an Anglo
African coinage with the glitter of the
gold fields upon 1t. Communicating
and kaffirgram' are almost worth the
cost OF the war"

Mr.. Bird has again secured Mr..
Gamble for a Song Recital to be given
in the Auditorium on the 18th of Jan

beautiful songs to his repertoire. Miss

some of the most beautiful pictures
in ghe exhibition are several made by
the late w. C. Gurley. He was an art
ist in the truest sense and beside hav-
ing been able to see n pretty thing in
nature he pictured as we'll as ever man
did, flash of lightning, which subject
is shown.
One of the prettiest things in the dis
play is j. G. Hathaway's (Chillicothe)
"A Portrait" being a likeness of the
artists daughter attired as an old
fashioned girl.
OF the out-ofItown exhibitors we do
not feel that we can go into detail
There is such a number of them and
they all have merit considered from
one standpoint or another, and about
all are Philadelphia Salon pictures, a
fact which gives the best endorsement
of art critics.
To Mr. Clarence White. of Newark,
should go large share of the credit
for the extent and fineness of the ex-
hfbition, he having been instrumental
in assisting the local Club to get the
extensive Philadelphia loan.
A number of the finest pictures shown
are works of out-of-town artists, and
owned by local parties.
The exhibition will continue ever
today and tonight, and the public
should avail itself of the opportunity
to see the pictures. About thousand
people attended yesterday.
