The Milwaukee Free Press is about
to start an early edition, which will
leave Milwaukee on the midnight
trains. There have been some parts
of the state which could not be
reached with the late editions and the
Free Press has received many urgent
calls from this territory for such an
edition. The Free Press explains that
the demands upon it's mechanical
facilities in Milwaukee and vicinity
were so great that it was not able
heretofore to meet this demand. Its
new quadruple press, however, is now
installed with a capacity of $4,000
copies of ten-page paper per hour
and it has made the other arrange
ments necessary to print an early
edition regularly beginning Tuesday
morning, November 26.

The three railroads, Chicago, Mil
waukee s. st. Paul, Wisconsin Central
and Chicago s. Northwestern. parallel
ing each other through the west side
of this city have depreciating effect
upon AUDITING property for residence
purposes. Commercially these three
lines of railroads add greatly to the
advantages of this city as
a shipping point. The crossing of
these three lines with their many side
tracks will have a tendency to stop
residence construction on the west of
these lines. Manufacturing enter
priSeS will locate near these lines for
shipping facilities and gradually the
west side will become the manufacture
ing part Of this city. This fact will
build up the east side as the residence
portion where building sites are plenty
with slightly locations.

Mrs. Eddy, the acknowledged leader
Of the so-called Christian soientlsts,
has thought II necessary to Offer an
explanation Of the failure OF Providence
to preserve the life OF President Nc.
Kinley IN answer 10 the numerous pc
tltions that were offered up in his be-
half. during the days OF anxiety that
preceded his departure.
As general 1Ile she lays down
the principle that "a compound OF
prayers wherein one earnest, tender
desire works unconsciously against
the modus operandi OF another, would
prevent the result desired" And this
rule. she finds, was violated in this in
stance. President Mckinley believed
she says, that his martyrdom was
Gods way and hundreds Of thousands
Of others thought so, and hundreds OF
thousands who prayed feared that the
bullet would prove fatal. These con-
nicting states OF the human mind
evinced a lack Of the absolute under
standing Of Gods omnlpotence and
prevented the power Of absolute truth
from reassurlng the mind and. through
it, resuscitating the body Of the pa
iient."
In other words. II everybody. includ-
ing the President himself. had be-
lleyed that the wound was not fatal
the result would have been different.
1t is safe to say. that this explana-
Jon is much less satisfactory than the
common one. that the Omnipotent acts
in accordance with His own designs
and purposes, which. although hidden
for the present, In the future will re-
veal that their purpose is the welfare OF
His children. Mrs Eddy's philosophy

rnEaBDuorIoN OF MISS STONE

The statement comes from Constanti-
nople lat evidence has been secured,
proving that members Of the Macedon-
ian committe at Sofia were implicated
In the abduction OF Miss Stone and her
companion, by brlgands. If this Is
true, It confirms the suspicion first ex-
pressed that the crime was committed
by revolutlonlsts for the purpose OF
creating trouble between Turkey and
Bulgaria, and at the same time bring
the United States government down
upon Turkey.
But whether the abduction was made
for political purposes or not. the an
nouncement, also made from Constantl-
nople, that our government is deterl
mined to act promptly In the matter,
Is satisfactory. The crime, It seems,
was committed In country under
Turkish jurisdiction. where Chris
tians" OF all creeds are entitled to pro-
lection. and the Sultan should be made
to understand that failure to protect
foreigners Is serious. II II Is shown
that Macedonian revolutionlsts, with
headquarters at Sofia instigatei the
outrage, the Bulgarian government
should be asked TO clean out that elc-
ment which always Is source of trou-
BILE.
Undoubtedly the Bulgarian authors
ties will do all In their power, even
without being urged. American mis-
slonarIes are said to be popular in that
country, and Miss Stone was especially
so. The Turkish authorities may also
be presumed to be willing 10 move with
energy as the Sultan must be anxious
to keep out OF trouble as far as posi-
Bile.
The entire incident shows, however,
how weak Turkish rule Is. Brlganaage
has been suppressed In most European
countries. Where once It was of COM
mon occurrence, II no longer is heard
Of, or occurs only at long intervals. In
Turkish territory It Is said to be IRE.

COLLEGE SECRET SOCIETIES.

The subject of the benefits or other
wise of secret societies, is receiving
some attention In the East and is be-
ing discussed In college journals Those
orders that are organized in the lead
ing educational establishments are be.
ing overhauled. and there seems to be
a preponderance OF sentiment to their
disfavor among the faculty and trus-
tees. This is set forth, to some extent,
In the following which appeared In a
recent issue OF the New York Evening
Post:
The board OF trustees Of the Norwich
Free Academy, Of which Dr. r. p. Keep
the Greek authority is principal, has
unanimously voted that In its opinion
the three secret SOCIETIES are detrimen'
tai TO the best interegts Of the institu-
ton and should be abolished This ac-
ton Is the elimination OF hostility
that he's been developing for several
years. The young men connected with
the organizations are strenuously OPP
posed TO the program Of abolition. DR.,
keep had conference with the mem
bers this week. and explained to them
the feeling of the board Of trustees.
He has also sent communications to the
parents Of the students asking for an
expression OF opinion from them One
proposition is TO substitute a debating
society or literary club with social fea.
