THE COMING REFORM.

Municipal ownership, where 1t has
been tried and honestly administered
has proved success, the danger Is
that the management would fall into
the hands of the professional politi-
clans that infest most cities, who
would demand that ward heelers be
given positions for which they are un-
fit and thus make the service worse un-
der the city than under the private
corporation. The vast amount OF
money that would be handled in the
larger cities If they owned the street
cars and the great chances for stealing
the proceeds Of such large under
taking may be seen from the New
York state railroad commissioners re-
port for the year 1900. In it we find
that 567, 144,099 persons were carried
on the surface street cars of the Bronx
and Manhattan, 323,229. 500 on the sur
face and IL" roads Of Brooklyn, and
1874, 164,110 on the Manhattan ~"
roads. This makes the inconceivably
huge total of 1.O74,537,S4S flve-cent
fares collected from the people Of
Greater New York last year. This
gives $53, 726, S92.40 as the total yearly
expenditure for car-fares within the
city limits. the great bulk Of it by the
the working people. Three-cent fares
all over the city would reduce that ex-
penditure to s32, 1886, 1884. And that
would leave in the pockets Of the peo-
Pile, to be saved or spent for other pur-
poses, the magnificent yearly sum Of
$21, 400, 1856. And 1t must not be
overlooked that the number Of car
fares collected in Greater New York
grows much larger every year. There
was an increase of 113,0O0,000 fares In
1900 over 1899.

SANDER by Phonograph.

SANDER by photograph is the latest
invention Of malice. In suburb oil
Berlin a sewing machine dealer had a
sQuabble with one Of his agents. so,
unable to think of another way Of in

slandering and defaming him in public
by means of monograph. He con-
fided to one Of these instruments 9
declaration that he had denounced his
enemy for forgery and embezzlement,
and placed it in a conspicuous place
in the beer-room of the local inn. Soon
afterwards guests entered the chamber
and put their pence in the slot, where
upon they were shocked at the serious
charges against one Of their acquaint-
ances. A SANDER action followed. The
photograph was brought into court as
a witness; but the instrument seemed
to have got hint Of the base purpose
to which it had been applied for it re-
fused to repeat the calumnies! There
were, however, sufficient number OF
witnesses to prove that the remarks
had been made by the instrument on
the day in question. so the court found
for the plaintiff; and the defendant,
whose conduct was characterized by
the magistrate as malignant" was
fined fifty shillings!

Evolution Theorists Declare He Has At
tained 1t by Slow Degrees.
Since Huxley's pioneer work in 1863
a host of investigators have carried
forward the study of structural resem-
blances connecting the genus man with
lower genera and orders. says Profess
sor w. j. MCGEE in his address as re-
firing president of the Anthropologi-
cal society of Washington. Today the
physical similarities are among the
commonplaces Of knowledge, what
soever the background of philosophical
opinion concerning cause and Sc
quence. During the last decade or two
the investigators themselves, with
scarce an exception, have gone one
step farther and now include sequence
Of development from lower to higher
forms as among the commonplace or
opinion, whatsoever the background OF
metaphysical notion as to the cause.
There the strictly biologic aspect of the
question as to mans place In nature
may safely be considered to rest. The
chief advances in an.hropology have
related to what men do and what men
think, and the progress has been such
as to indicate with fairly satisfactory
clearness the natural history OF human
thinking, as we'll as that Of human do
ing. AS is shown by the latest re-
searches, the mental workings of the
human are analogous with those of the
lower animals, while the range from
the instinct and budding reason OF
higher animals to the thinking OF the
lowest man would seem far less than
that separating the beast-fearing saw
age from the scientist and statesman.
In short, the evident tendency of the
science of anthropology is, according to
Professor MCGEE, toward the establish
ment of mental as we'll as physical
evolution of man from prototype OF
lower rank in the animal Kingdom

REV. DIR. E. B. WEBB.


trustees Of the Hartford Theological
Seminary and member Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Congregational
Home Missionary Society. DR.. Webb
was born in Newcastle, Me-, in 1920.
His father was a farmer, and the fu-
ture missionary labored as a farm
boy and afterward as a helper in a
country store. His tastes were intel
lectual, however, and he passed
through Lincoln Academy and Bow
dom College, from which last named
institution he was graduated with a
degree in 1916. In 1S47 he entered
Bangor Seminary and was called to
passionate before his graduation. He
insisted, however. on few months
study at Princeton, and thence went
to Augusta, Me-, to begin his ministry.
He was called by congregation In
Boston in 1860, and became pastor Of
Shawmut Church in 1868. In that
year he was elected member OF the
executive committee Of the Massachu-
sets Home Missionary Society, a post
which he held until his death. In 1875
DR.. Webb's usefulness in the mission
airy field took on a wide expansion.
He had already visited Egypt, Pales-
tine, Syria, Asia Minor and other bib
lical lands. and he entered into his
larger labors with spirit and devotion.
DIR. Webb, in his prime. was an elo-
quent and a powerful preacher. His
sermons were always interesting. His
flock loved him in all Of his capaci-
ties, and when he resigned from his
pulpit in 1885 he was made pastor
emeritus. He was clever and Wig
orous writer, although never contrc-
versialist, and he was tolerant and
gentle in his doctrines and his life.

LOOTING IN CHINA,

That business missionary, Rev. w.
s. Ament, has arrived from China and
calls upon Mark Twain to recant his
charge of looting, for he says the mis-
sionaries did not loot, but he explains
what they did, which, according to his
own showing, looks much like it.
1.-THE abandoned palace of Prince Hsi
Ling" says Missionary Ament, was
close to the part of the city where the
allied troops were Quartered, and,
therefore, was comparatively safe
from the attack of the boxers For
that reason we took possession of the
abandoned property.
. 1.-THE prince, who had fed, was a
gambler and a prominent boxer lead
er. He had left nearly all his personal
belongings and the house was filed
with curios On the advice of judicious
friends we took absolute possession of
the property, selling the curios and
clothing to raise money with which to
feed and clothe our charges We re-
allied $4,000 for our people.
Another feature of the times that
Mr.. Twain criticises is our rade in
furs. We considered the venture a
perfectly legitimate speculation. Some
of the native Christians went to rich
men OF their acquaintance and bought
up furs, in order. that they might not
fall into the hands of looting soldiers
These furs we bought in turn and sold
at an advance.
I'm reply to Mr.. Twain's statement
that the one-third added to the DANA
ges was nothing short of extortion and
robbery, want to say that Mr.. Twain
was not conversant with the facts
when he wrote his article. The plan
was first preached to Chang Yen Mao,
the commissioner appointed by Ii
Hung Chang to settle the claims of the
native Christians. Our idea was to
give the Christians exactly what they
had lost and the extra third was COL
lected for the benefit of the widows
and orphans. '
I'm all we collected about 100000 in
a territory 125 miles long by from
fifteen to twenty miles wide, and the
