Such is the issue that is now presented to us by our opponents with such dis tinctness that none can misunderstood 1t, and l have abiding faith that the people of Philadelphia will summon their omnipotence to smite organized crime, and make the present despotic and criminal masters find refuge from the retributive stroke of outraged pub lie sentiment in prison cells or in dis tant lands.
 Success to the good citizens of Phila- delphia. They have undertaken a big task and they will need all their strength and skill to carry it out. If they do carry it out they will set a good example for other communities. Philadelphia is an appropriate place for a new Declaration of Independence.

THE FR ESH AIR MISSION.

The beauty and benefit of the Fresh Air work done by the City Mission can be appreciated In these days when fresh air can only be got by going where it Is. Many people who can't really afford to go in search of it go, and there are many others so poor that they can't go. The City Mission has for several years helped many to go who but for it's help couldn't have gone, and it has begun work in that line this year. It should be liberally aided by those who have the ability to aid it. Fresh air saves the lives of children and prolongs the lives of the old and feeble, Trolley rides and ex- cursion trips don't cost much, and little money will do much good when properly spent for them So will much. People who have money and good will can use both well by adding to the City Missions Fresh Air Fund.

IS THE ELECTIVE SYSTEM ELEC-
 TTVE9

The cause of the breakdown of the
 elective system, as at present constitut-
 ed, Is to be found in the machinery of
 instruction. The office of the teacher
 has become inextricably mixed up with
 totally alien office-university disci-
 pline Attendance at lectures Is the
 only means of recording a student s
 presence in the university, and success
 in the examination in lecture courses
 is the only basis for judging of his dili-
 gence. At the tolling of bell the stu
 dent leaves all other affairs to report at
 a certain place. In the middle agse lec-
 lures were of necessity the main means
 of instruction. Books were rare and
 their prices prohibitive. The master read and the student copied. day there are 100000 books In the Harvard library. Only in the higher courses are lectures necessary or profitable. But still instruction is carried on, even in the most general courses, by means of professional lectures. Where great pc riods are covered by leaps and bounds, freshness or individuality of treatment is quite impossible. The toiling of the college bell dooms hundreds of students to hear a necessarily hurried and mar ticulate statement of Knowledge which has been carefully handled in printed form by the most brilliant writer's and to which a tutor might refer the stu dent in a few minutes conference. Modify the lecture system? It is the foundation of the police regulation. The boasted freedom of the elective system enables the student to choose in what courses he shall be made the unwilling ally of the administrative officer. The lectures waste the time of the student and exhaust the energy of the teacher; but unless the lecturers give them and the studious attend, how can the uni verslty know that the shiftless stay away?
 It Is necessary for the administrator to judge of the students success, as well as of his diligence. Twice every year the professors hold an examina- ton, lasting for three hours in each of their several courses. Of late years an ingenious means has been devised for making the examination an even more perfect ally of the police. In the mid- dle of each term an hour examination is held to insure that the student has not only attended lectures, but studied outside; and, in order to expose the procra stinator, it has become the cus- tom for the examination to be given without warning. Like the lecture sys- tenn, the examination system throws the onus of discipline on the studious and the teachers Two thousand stu dents write yearly 32,00O examination books. Quite obviously the most ad- vanced of the professors cannot spare time for the Herculean task of reading and duly grading their share of these

very lofty flights of imagination have
 been indulged in with regard to it.
 The building itself is not white, and
 here Is, perhaps, an initial disappoint-
 ment; however, it is perhaps the only one, for everything else seems to be of
 the virgin linA down to the rats and mice, for there are several little houses devoted to these. The cows which are kept at this model farmst cad are as pure white as they can be found, and the sheep are the same. The stables hold white horses and ponies, and a pure white mule, which was gift to Lady Alington from the sultan of Turkey, who also presented her with the two magnificent blanche, peacocks. who sun themselves in their radiant plumage in the yard.

Proud-looking Sebastopol geese and some lovely white turkeys sweep and strut with the utmost dig nifty, and the fair Aylesbury ducks (of the Gillies strafn) and some beautifully plumaged Dorkins add to the general virgin effect. Even the pigs are small whites, and two or three Swiss goats are tethered in an adjoining field. White rabbits and guinea pigs thrive well and the birds all seem to be heal- thy and strong. ng.-London Profitable Farm and Garden.

PHIEADELPHIA'S TOWN MEETING

New Haven has had two useful town meetings this year, and Philadelphia had a town meeting Thursday night which promised to be useful. The meet ing was held to protest against the Quay machine. It is estimated that ten thousand people turned out to de- nounce the machine for granting the railroad franchises and for refusing to renominate District Attorney Rother- mel. One-half of the number gathered in Academy Hall and the other half crowded the streets outside. One of the most important and significant features of the affair was the telegram from Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster Gen eral, asking that he be made a vice. president of the meeting and declaring that 1t was time for a new Declaration of Independence, and that "Philadel- pbia ought to rise in her might against the jobbers in her public rights and the ravishers of her sacred safeguards of law" And Colonel A. K Mcclure voiced the spirit of those assembled when he said: Citizens of Philadelphia, this is not a battle for party, nor for

 It is not often that man risks his 1 life in the cause of science. As a rule,
 no one would receive much praise for
 doing sc, though there are occasions when such an act is most heroic and laudable. Perhaps there are not many to applaud the achievement of Profes-
 sor Matteucc the distinguished Ital- ian geologist who lived on the edge of
 the crater of Vesuvius for three days last year. But alrs well that ends well and he escaped with g. whole skin.
 The volcano resumed very active phase nearly five years before Profess sor Matteucci went into camp on the outer edge of the scene of disturbance
 Vesuvius began a new eruptive period on July g. 1S95 ebullitions of greater or less magnitude, accompanied by con- siderable flow of lava, were of frequent occurrence for about fifty months. At last, on September 1, 1S99 the lava ceased to flow through the lateral fis- sure by which it has escaped from the crater At that time the bottom of the crater was 7C0 feet below the lowest part of it's rim.
 Fresh supplies of lava began slowly to fill up the crater again. On April "A, last year, tho surface of the lava was within about 260 feet of the crater edge. On that day another period of violent activity began. lasting for an entire month. No lava was discharged down the mountain side, but some of the explosions in the crater were terrific, particularly between May and il, reaching a maximum on May 9, The noise of the explosions was distinctly heard throughout a large part of the Campagna The Italian professor wat ched all the phenomena from the slope of the mountains, and spent May

A Dream Of LMXurY.

If l had million dollars 1 would surely
 take my ease. l would go where'er I listed and I'd weal whate'er I'd please. l wouldn't wear stitf-bosomed shirts nor
 collars strong and high, intended greatly to impress the casual
 paSSer-by; wouldn't wear my well made coat nor
 patent leather shoes. Ida change the style of hat that habitual-
 ly use; These stern decrees of custom which so
 hold me in their power If had million dollars I'd discard them
 In an hour. I'd get myself pair of shoes long ways
 off from small, And if found some cool ploughed ground,
 why, I'd wear none at all. I'd wear great big hat of straw with
 overhangng brim, And look just like the hired man, while a-swopplng yarns with him. I'd only have one gallus, and I'd wear q
 gingham shirt, And I'd keep away from town so's no ones feelings would be hurt. And I'd make long trips to Nowhere, un-
 derneath the rustling trees If l had million dollars I would surely
 take my ease.

il, 12 and 13 at the crater's edge. It Is well known that the eruptions
 since the seventeenth century have greatly altered the contour of the
 mountain, and that it's central vent or crater has undergone many changes. During the period, of Professor Mat teucci's observations the crater was en- llarged in one oI its dis ameters abuot twenty feet. It measuIeG at the top IDA meters, about $40 feet a6ross from northwest and 1S0 meters from east to west. Tine flames produced by the sul- phurous vapors were abundant; many proietciles were hurled into the air, the highest altitude attained being about
 1,S00 feet above the bottom of the era ter.
 On May 9 the professor observed block of unusual size rising above the top of the creater. He happened to
 have his watch ill hand and found that
 the projectile was in the air above Vesuvius seventeen seconds before it
 reached terra firma on the slope of the
 mountain. He ascertained later that it
 measured about twelve cubic meters
 and that it's weight was approximately
 thirty tons. When it reached the earth
 it was travelling at the rate of about
 300 feet a second. It has been estimat-
 ed that the force which propelled this
 mass of rock high into the air was
 equal to 697 995 horse power. The vol
 ume of the solid material which was
 elected from the crater during the ex- ploslve period of April and May Is esti
 mated at about 500000 cubic meters and in that time about thirty feet were added to the altitude of the mountain.
 It may be imagined that it was not extremely pleasant to finger in the inn mediate neighborhood of these terrific occurrences, but the daring man of sci ence held his ground and did not take his departure until he had completed the observations he had in view. The wonder is that he was not killed. On the last day of his sojourn upon the top of the mountain period of intense violence succeeded q few hours of com para tive calm. The explosions in the crater were of great frequency, and the geolosist had the hardihood to see ev erything that was going on. One ex- tnaordinary explosion caused a rain of fragments all around him. Myrlads of small bits of rock and red hot frag- | ments of scoriae fell all around. No body knows how he had the good luck to escape for his entire outfit of bag 1 gage was destroyed excepting his cam era. This instrument and it's owner were all that escaped without a scratch.
 The professor says that t1e specta- cle of that boiling cauldron of lava was a marvellous one, He has not, how ever, undertaken to describe 1t, though he has written at length upon the sci entific aspect of the phenonmena he ob- and has made special study of the nature of the materials that were elected from the crater.-From the New York Sun.

fl HOPEE ISS CASE,

Brother Bryan's persistence Is worthy of better cause but perhaps he thinks the cause which has made him famous and fairly well off Is good enough. Anyhow, he sticks and sticks and sticks. His latest is an impressive warning to his followers against those who would make the Democratic party something other than that which he and his followers have made it. He calls them 'reorganizers, and he says: Do not allow a man to be placed upon any committee, precinct, county, State or national, unless he is a believer in the Kansas City plat form" He says the harmony which the reorganizers desire is the harmony which the burglar desires when he hopes that the members of the family will not awake until the valuables are removed from the house. And he adds: "The Democratic party has made it's re- cent campaigns, beginning with 1896, almost without money and yet the party has polled a larger vote than it ever polled when it had a large cam paign fund. If the men who deserted the party in 1896 or in 1900 are put at the head of the party before they give evidence of change of heart they will drive more voters away from the party than they will bring to it."
 Perhaps Brother Bryan is right. Per- haps the Democratic party can't be safely reorganized. Perhaps nothing can be done to improve it, not because it doesn't need improving, but because it can't be improved.

AN UNPLEds1NI TAXATION

AN UNl'LEAs4N1 REVELATION.
 The suspension of the Seventh Ma tional Bank in New York is decidedly disturbing affair, and the tall lying that has been done about it isn't reassuring. The fact seems to be that disregard of an important provision of the national banking law was the main cause of the suspension of the bank. According to the statements of officials of the Treas ury department had the officers of the bank observed the law restricting loans to individuals to 10 per cent. of the capital stock the bank would now be doing business in good standing. Credit had been given to Henry Mar quand & Go. by the Seventh National Bank fifty times in excess of the legal limit, and when this was called to the attention of the Controller of the Cur rency he demanded that the bank off, cials take up the loan and replace 1t with money. Being unable to do this the bank was closed and placed in the hands of receiver. According to the official statement of Controller Dawes the bank held paper of Henry Mar quand & Go. to the extent of about $1,- 600, 000 All of this was not in the shape of loan, but the department considers overdrafts in the same class as loans, so the effect was the same as If the entire amount had been issued in the way of loan. The capital stock of the suspended bank was $3o0,00O, so the amount of money that could have been legally loaned to Marquand was $30- 900.
 It is figured that the innocent depos- itors will get their money if the stock holders in the bank are assessed heav- fly enough and pay up. It is to be hoped they will. The way the bank has been doing business and the indications that "over-certifying is not unusual in New York are calculated to make depositors in some of the New York banks think.
