The Presidents Double.

If the president had been seeking 4
double of himself. he could not have
come more closely to the mark than
in the man selected for secretary of
the navy. and while the resemblance
may be very striking, there is no
more possibility of his being taken
for the executive than there is of sue

The Presidents Predicament.

The citizens of Wilkesbarre. Pa.
having sought in vain to secure arbi-

through j. Pierpont Morgan, have
turned to President Roosevelt with
what they call an appeal from the
king of the trusts to the president of
the people.
This leaves the president in an en-
barrassing position, as it is believed
that Mr.. Morgan has consented to
end the strike in time to save the fall

The Evening Newspaper.

The increase in the circulation, in
fiuence and prestige of the evening
newspaper during the last decade is
the phenomenon of newspaperdom.
This statement is not haphazard
one. 1t is confirmed by the United
States census.
In 1891 there were two evening
newspapers printed to every morn
ing newspaper. In 1900 there were
three evening newspapers printed to
one morning newspaper.
The afternoon paper is indisputably
the paper of the masses. The mer-
chant and the professional man read
the morning paper, but these are a
very small proportion of a newspa-
per's constituency. And even they
sean it hastily. The evening paper
comes to the home at the leisure
hour. The head of the house, the
wife and the children all have time to
read it. Together man and wife dis
cuss the news and plan the next days
program, whether of pleasure or of
buying. The day has been filed with
many occupations. The husband is
in hurry in the morning to get to
business and the housewife is busy
with her affairs. The period of rest
and leisure comes in the evening.
Every invention and facility which
eNpedites the transmission of news
helps the evening paper. 1t is so now
that three-fourths of the worlds hap
penings are given the same day they
happen. The people want the news

A PHILADELPHIA CASE.

A PHILADELPHIA CASE.
1t may seem somewhat of commen-
tary on what l have just said to dis
cover that in the very first instance where
the Sandcrson case is scited-Pennsylvania
Railroad Company VS.. Marchapt, 11o Pa
54a-it is brought forward to sustain very
much the position for which / have just
said it does not stand. That. as Is we'll
known-like Lippncott VS.. same conf
pany, 11G Pa Az, before twas an action
by an owner of property on Fllbert street.
Philadelphia, for the depreciation of his
property by the extension of the Penn
sylvania railroad to Broad street.
But inasmuch as the company was en-
gagged as it was said, in the lawful and
skillful operation of it's own road on its
own land, it was decided that it could no
more be held liable than could an indi-
vidual under such circumstances being
asserted on the strength of what was sup
posed to be found in the case of Sander
son.
But whatever extreme the doctrine
of the case was SO carried. in the next
case of any Importance in which it came
up-Collins VS.. Charters Gas Co., 131 Pa.
1i3-an intent to limit it's general scope
is manifested. The plaintiff there was
the owner of well of water. about 100
feet from which the defendant sunk a
well for natural gas At the depth of 100
feet they passed through body of sal
water, which rose and mingled with the
subterannean stream, which supplied the
plaintiffs well. and ruined it. There was
evidences that the defendants ought to
have known of this possibility. and might
have prevented it. On the strength of the
Sanderson case, it was contended that
being In the lawful development of their
own property. they We're not liable; but it
was held that the exemption there rec
ogniZed did not get beyond the proper use
by a person of his own and the unavoid-
able damage resulting therefrom; and If,
as was shown, the injury was plainly to
be anticipated. and was easily preventa BILE
with reasonable care and expense the
plaintiff was entitled to recover. This is
an important qualification of which we
shall see more later, and was again rec
