Where Joseph Parker Differs From
Charles II. Sheldon.

New York, Dec ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Joseph Parker's reproduction Of Shell
don's career as a daily journalist is not
remarkable for originality. Today's
Sun has all the news Of the day, Grim
inal and otherwise, and more advertis-
ing than usual The chief innovation
is the substitution of a series of CITY
Temple Sermonettes'' for the ordinary
column of editorial paragraphs. These
begin with the frank confession that
no editor has charter from heaven to
regard himself as Moses or Paul of the
moral that f1ogging is the true cure for
"Hooliganism" and that the magis-
trates should use the cat in whipping
the offending Adam out Of street bTaWl
ers The most striking feature of this
fresh example of daily journalism con-
Quoted on religious principles is a series

Odd Costume for Americans.

The latest thing In American military
uniforms Is probably that adopted by
the Samoan national guard, which has
just been organized by COmmandant
Tilley. The guard il regularly organ
lied military company OF the United
States and is armed With Lee rides.
The uniform consists Of white singlets,
blue lavalavas with red facings. red
sashes. red turbans and the usual cart
ridge box accoutrements.
The layalava is a short skirt, which
in aboriginal times was made of ba-
mana leaves, but Is now made of cot
ton cloth. The effect is something like
Highland kilt except that the skirt
is shorter. The slnglet is sort Of
doublet or waistcoat.
Almost the first service the Tutuiln
national guard was called on to per-
form was to arrest chief who had
destroyed the house and property Of
another Samoan because the latter had
cooked anu eaten fish which, accord
ing to Samoan customs. was reserved
exclusively for the chiefs.

London has an ordinance aimed at
the suppression OF the smoke nuisance
and apparently 1t is badly enforced.
The worlds metropolis has among its
many public societies one called the
Coal Smoke Abatement society. that,
under the leadership of Sir w. B.
Richmond, is endeavoring to bring
about reform. The society is unable
to accomplish Its purpose. 1t has to
deal. however. with number Of SELF
governing vestries instead of one CEN
tral government. The Lancet has
now taken the matter In hand. and,
commenting upon the injury done to
the peoples health by the smoke,
talks Of "monstrous and braxen defi-
ance Of the law" The effort in Lon
don is directed chiefly towards show
ing manufacturers that those few fac
tories which have adopted scientific
devices for the consumption Of smoke
have not only conferred a benefit ON
the public. but have saved money for
themselves by utilizing the smoke.

nations In the land, II ID said. will be
asked to lend their support and assist

Although the plans thus far settled

character, the general idea for the es-

OF those who are the prime spirits In
the movement to advocate the selection
Of Columbus, Ohio, or Chicago as q

is likely that the home will be mod

tion as that maintained by the Ma8ons
