THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE,
FOR THE PEOPLE AND
WITH THE PEOPLE.
HONEST IN MOTIVE
FEARLESS IN EXPRESSION
SOUND IN PRINCIPLE.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the
man who spends money judiciously
and literally is better able to impart
his knowledge than the man who has
little or nothing to spend.
THE sun is the highest type of a
newspaper.
The SUNS reports from all parts of
the United States are unsurpassed.
The SUNS Cable Service is the
finest known; the troubles in the
Philippines and in South Africa de-
mand competent correspondents
and vast expenditure of money and
labor i'm getting the news. When you
get The SUN you get news and in
telligent presentation of facts with it,
as well as carefully prepared articles
of editorial writer's of highest stand
ing. When you read daily paper,
whose principal recommendation is
it's cheapness, you get the dregs-
generally very poor dregs at that.

ACCORDING to the Hagerstown Mail,
that city in Western Maryland is Justly
proud of the rapid strides she has made
in few years. The Mail says:
With regulation police headquarters
and a rlock-up. Hagerstown will be ex-
cused for being proud. The advance OF
the town since 1880 has been so vast that
the visitor is not blamed for thinking that
some Arabian night transformation has
happened. Our fire department is high
grade, our street paving is advanced,
our street car service is admirable and
our White Wings is simply a consummate
delight. No wonder that the stranger
within our gates gapes in admiration and
that our population rolls up apace. We
are growing up in leaps, in strides that
bridge decades not years.

DIR. Watson ('Ian Maclaren makes
inc beginning of his Life of the Mas
ter in McC2Uye's Magasne for January
with chapters covering the period OF
youth and childhood. His method is to
make full and coherent record OF the
outer, material facts, but at the same
time to make plain all of the inner.
spiritual significance; and the result is a
presentation interesting as pure narrative
and yet of high poetic and devotional
quality. The same aim appears also in
Nh. c. X. Linson's pictures. Of these
there are eight beautiful full-page pictures
in color-a feat in color reproduction be-
yond anything previously attempted in
magazine work; and a number of smaller
but scarcely less beautiful. pictures in
black and white.

tiations were attempted, they must
have failed, for the army continued on
its march and attacked the capital
three days after reaching Tung CHOW.
The officials here were aware of the
fact that the stronghold of the Boxers
was in the Chinese city, and that for
the allies to attempt to force their
way through 1t into the Tartar city.
in which the legation compounds are
located, might mean a great loss OF
life and possibly a defeat. 1t was
also known that the imperial troops
which have sided with the Boxers
were, many of them, in or near the
Chinese city, and that much of the
artillery and rife fire which has been
poured into the legations had been
from the walls separating the two
cities.
These facts, evidently, were COM
municated TO General Chaffee and the
other commanding officers of the al
lies. Realizing these obstacles, it APP
pears the allies decided to attack the
city beyond the east gate. There are
-four entrances to the city on the east,
two leading to the Chinese city and
two to the Tartar city. Just which

patch does not disclose. Contrary 10
the press reports of yesterday, Con
sui Fowler's report shows that the at
tack on the city met with strong re-
s~istance. The japanese force engaged
with the advance, according TO n
understanding of the officials here,
numbered 10000 men, so that the loss
suffered by them was over l per cent.
Allowance is made for losses IN n
forces of the other armies, but II rs

The president was overjoyed on
hearing the news of the safety OF
Minister Conger and his associates.
He has been hopeful all along that
their rescue from the perilous posi-
ton in which they have been for so
long a time would be successfully ac-
complished. The president enter
tanned a number of friends formally
at dinner yesterday, among whom
were several acquaintance from Can
ton.
Later in the evening, as soon as he
heard of the news, Secretary %
came in from the Country club n
remained for some time with the
president discussing the latest infor-
nation which had come to hand.
Nothing has come to the war depart
ment directly from General Chaffee,
but the adjutant generals office il
momentarilv expecting advices. The
officials were on hand during the
evening and waited until a late hour
before leaving for home without re-
