To the Great Servants of the Common
veal in Ancient Greece.

TO the Orcat scrSantS Oh the Sotninon-
veal in Ancient Greece.
Probably the early Greeks and par
ticularly the Athenians were least
grateful to their great men. There
was a predisposition to fickleness and
to hasty judgment in the Greek char
acter, as well as strong jealousy OF
any individual who seemed likely to
attain a preponderating power in the
state; and their political and judicial
system unfortunately supplied no COM
pensating check. Their leaders were
thus sacrificed alike in good and evil
fortune. and a list of those who fell
victims would be long one. Aristides
(the "Just'), Miltiades, Themistocles,
Socrates and Timotheos are few Of
the great men who ended their lives
In unmerited exile or by judicial muir
der. Sometimes after defeat there was
q general butchery Of the unlucky
leaders. The Carthagenians were also
noted for their ingratitude to the geat
servants of the commonweal, and this,
no doubt, helped to handicap them in
the struggle with Rome, where a wiser
policy was pursued. Spain, amongst
moderns, has been most neglectful OF
the lust claims Of her great men

The evening there were dances at the

many other amusements. The surpris-

find so much gayety in such an out-of-

most as mysterious as the capital of

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -

SONG or THE PRINTING PRESS,

Before an editorial associa Sion ra-
Gently held in Boston, William White.
= newspaper writer Of considerable
note, gave utterance to the following
beautiful truths:
Today thousands of citizens daily
pass the pressrooms of the world and
--ear the soothing diapason of the
whlrling wheels mut1ied by stone and
cement and wood. That song is the
spinning song of liberty. Would YOU
hear it more closely? Open the door;
go In. What a symphony greets you.
60 into Gods workshop. How the
leads throb with ecstasy. How the
form thrills with joy. How the steel
cries out with it's message to the
world. The song of the press has
hushed the voice of tyrants, it has
sham"d the clanlor of mobs, and one
day 1T shall drown the dirge Of can
non. In that clatter and clash and
shrieking of wheels that make the
Pressroom's din, one may find all the
voices OF the world. The lullaby of
mothers is there; the groan of those
In anguish; the complaint of the OPP
pressed; the heartless crackle of
laughter, the signs of lovers, the hol-
low words of liars. All the voices of
the earth, the bad as surely as the
good. are found in that strident song
the presses sing. How wonderful it
is! How miraculous! If the miracle
of loaves and fishes proves Christ's
divinity, how surely the miracle of
the printing press prove the presence
of some guiding force, guiding mans
destiny, some kindly master hand
leading him on!

RATES ARE REASONABLE.

A False Impression Corrected - PAN
American Exposition Railroad Fares
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y, July so.-A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view If adopt
ing some means for correcting SO far
as possible the impression that ap-
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex-
position are high and that hotel rates
IN Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in it's private houses and no.
tells at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for f1rst-class lodging in a private
mouse. 1t was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis
lance, being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip,
from all parts Of the country The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort, are re-
membered only SO far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the presr
ent half rates are as low as can rea-
sonably be expected. An extension of
the present limit has been looked for,
as it gives too short time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified Other points
which the representatives of the pub
fishers association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is COM
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are we'll
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex-
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a free
bureau of information for the conve-
nience of intending visitors.
