IL must tell you a singular deed
showing the love OF trees OF our late
Bishop Williams of the Episcopal
church." says a writer in the Hartford
Times. THE tree slayers were out
cutting down the fine elms on the street
where the Berkeley Divinity school, In
Middletown, is located. When the work
man approached those trees on the
grounds of the school, the good bishop
said: Haiti II you cut down these
trees, 1 move the school out OF this
city, 1t had its effect. The grand
elms were left undisturbed. Though
he be dead now, at the age of 50, may
his example be kept green whenever
necessary shade trees are In danger of
humiliation"

MHF THE people of the republics
XI and countries of Central and
6zH9oi South America fully realized
0.x:j to how great an extent misin-
formation with regard to their several
countries exists In the United States
and Canada. the Pan-American Exposi-
ton would be taxed beyond its limit to
provide space for the exhibits that
would come from those countries to
enlightep the people of the United
States and Canada concerning their
neighbors to the southwark If, on the
other hand, the people of the United
States and Canada knew to any ap-
probable degree of the wide opportuni-
ties for the profitable investment Of
money and energy which offer them
selves in Central and South America,
they would not require such exhibits
to awaken their interest, nor would
such opportunities long remain I'M
known or unpossessed-
The object of the Exposition.
The ideal had in view by those who
planned the Pan-American Exposition
and toward the accomplishment Of
which nothing Is being left undone
that energy and effort can bring about
or suggest is that in all that apper-
tains to the Industrial and intellectual
development of the countries of the
Western Hemisphere the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition shall occupy the posi-
ton OF great International "Informa-
ton Clearing House" While interest
ing millions as a beautiful spectacle,
1t will afford an opportunity to the
peoples Of the three Americas to be-
come better acquainted with each 9TH
er. and 1t will prove very prominent
factor, too, In developing proper and
just appreciation in each country Of
the Industrial wants and trade posi-
bilities of their neighboring countries
of the Western Hemisphere.
While their view of the duty and
task imposed upon them In this regard
has been broad the generosity and pub
lie spirit of the promoters and man.

landscape and building effects and In
arranging for the sumptuous, intellec-

DIRECTOR GENERAL BUCHANAN.
ton that as a result of all this the YER
dict of those who visit Buffalo next
year will be that In certain phases, and
In not a few, the Pan-American Expo
sition will be justly entitled to rank
In history as the most beautiful and
successful of American Expositions.
No one who has approached the sub
ject of Industrial Pan-America seri-
ously believes that the artificial trade
conditions now existing between Cana
da, the different Central and South
American republics and the United
States-as they affect and restrict COM
merce and communication between the
different countries-can long continue,
nor can 1t be controverted that great
changes for the better in these regards
have taken place during the past few
years. Indeed, a greater advance has
been made during the past ten years in
the countries of the Western Henri
sphere In all that counts for the better
than during the so years preceding
This statement, made broadly, can be
verified In detail 1t applies to every
thing that has tended toward stability
of government, toward the betterment
and improvement of the people Of the
different countries, toward the build
ing up therein of permanent national
wealth and In the direction of utilizing
to a greater degree than heretofore the
products and resources of these coun-
tries

statement can be easily pointed out;
but, broadly speaking, 1t viii bear In
yestigation and will be found to be cor

the seemingly unending boundary dis
putes-all Of which, by the way, came
down from the old Spanish regime as
an Inheritance and which have been
for 70 years the source of untold ex-
pense and Of constant irritation and
oft threatened war between practically
all of the republics of Central and
South America-have been amicably
concluded. The closing days of the
century find that chief source Of trou-
BILE In Latin America happily reduced
to comparatively small point 1t is
but just to these republics to say In
this connection that due credit should
be given them for the fact that In
reaching this result they have consist
emily recognized the theory of arbitra-
ton to be the proper and true method
by which such international disputes
may be solved. Today no boundary
difficulty of any kind affects the peac'

Prisoners of Hope.

The man who lives for today is like
one born In a prison, who has never
learned that the great world throbs be-
yond his prison walls. He is prison
er and does not know II. Now, II is
said that our Lord came to release the
prisoner, and there is no chain gang
that needs the salvation, however, more
than the prisoners OF today. BY as
much as we lose sight Of the ultimate
destiny of our lives, by as much as we
fail to come under the power of our
transcendent hope, we are prisoners of
today. We should be prisoners OF hope,
for, as ST. Paul says, 1--WE are saved by
hope."-Reformed Church Messenger.

PLOTTING TO KILL GAR.
Two Recent Attempts to Assasstnat
Him Reported.


Berlin. March 2o.-Stories are cur
rent of recent attempts upon the cars
life in connection with a widespread
revolutionary movement, of which the
students riots in st. Petersburg and
elsewhere are said to form a part.
The Tageblatt's ST. Petersburg cor
respondent says he has learned from
an unQuestionable source of two sep
arate conspiracies to assassinate his
majesty. The first attempt was plan
ned to be made on the occasion OF the
jubilee ball Of the naval cadet corps,
which the car had promised TO at
tend. His majesty was ready to start
and was awaiting his carriage when
Governor General Kleigels arrived at
the palace and informed him that he
must not go. several suspicious persons
belonging to the revolutionary party
having been arrested at the Nicolai
bridge with arms and forged pass
ports. He informed his majesty that
the prisoners were probably ennis
saries of the central nihilist committee
at Zurich. The visit was accordingly
abandoned.
The second affair occurred in the
middle of January, when the czar. ac-
companied by his mother, visited the
ceramic exhibition. When entering one
Of the rooms. the members of the COM
mittee who were escorting the inn
perial party suddenly noticed an I'M
known man hurriedly approaching the
car. As the public had been exclud-
ed and those authorized TO attend had
been carefully selected the presence
Of the stranger excited suspicion.
Several OF the cars party FASTENED
to meet him TO lead him away. There
upon the man suspiciously thrust his
hand in a pocket. He was instantly
seized. When he was searched, a
bomb was found in his pocket.
He has since disappeared from pub
lie sight, and, the correspondent adds,
it will probably be long time before
any one learns of his whereabouts.

Several bills Of unusual Interest to real

lows. The most important bill to all real
estate agents is House Bill No. ?5s, intro
duced by w. J.. Lishtholder. and relating
to changes of venue in Justices courts.
House Bill No. 53l. introduced by VI. E..
Getchell of Kansas CITY. increases the pen
atty for theft of lead pipe from vacant
houses. changing same from a misdemean,r
to a felony. Heretofore the lead pioe
thieves could only be prosecuted for the
actual value Of lead pipe removed from va
cant houses: IRRESPECTIVE Of the amount of
damage inflicted in its removal. At times
such damage would amount to hundreds of
dollars. when the actual value of the lead
would be less than 80.
House Bill No. 33s enacts the laws regard

provides for the mode of procedure for as
scssors In the matter OF taxation Of mort
