that go to make this earth a pleasant
abiding place. In Washington society
he was a leader, though occupying but a
minor place officially. His versatility
and willingness to assist in any worthy
cause put him at the head Of charitable
entertainments.
His reputation as a wit and must
clan were equal to that he enjoyed as
a conscientious government official.
He was stationed for time at Con-
stantinople, and after returning to the
United States he was asked how he
liked the land of the sultan. Like
it, said Smith, 'why, I'd rather be
a dead peanut seller in the United
States than a live sultan in Turkey"
1t was this same Hubbard Smith who
composed the catchy song, Listen to
My Tale of Woe" He received SIS for
the manuscript and the publishers
made fortune out of it.
| AT one time he was United States
consul at Canton, China, and in 1900
he was sent back to that country as
secretary to Hon. w. w. Rockhill, spe-
cial envoy to China. During his service
III lhis Capacity ne rendered valuable
aid in averting complications with
England, Germany, France and Russia,
and in recognition of this the dowager

in Egypt, was the first, and Hubbard L.
Smith, who also died in Egypt, was the

York think that Depew is still the
president of the New York Central, for
instance.
Mr.. Baldwin is in the youth OF mid
die age, not wealthy beyond reason;
an active, rather than an ornamental
president. He looks like prosperous
farmer who comes to the city rather
often on business. He was the presi-
dent of the famousCitizens' Committee
that redeemed the city from the fright
full degradation of the last four years
of Tammany rule-a degradation that
Tammany itself will never again dare
equal. Baldwin is the moving spirit OF
the vast improvements the Pennsyl-
vania railroad is making about the
metropolis. The Long Island is part
of the Pennsylvania system.
Another man who counts is Robert
C. Ogden. In the business world he is
the junior partner of John Wanamaker,
and manager of his enormous affairs.
Like Baldwin he finds time for great
public tasks. He is the active man in
the movement for better education in
the south, which is just at the begin
ming of momentous changes. These
men find time for social engagements,
for public services that would swamp
weaker and less busy men. The man
agement of railroad or of several
enormous department stores seems
sufficiently strenuous. But man who
can do one thing can do others. The
busiest fellow has the most time.
Either of these men may die untime
ly. If so the city and the country art
the losers. If not, look to them for i'm
portant action in various ways in thu
future year.

tween him and Joseph Pulitzer, owner
of the World. Different as the two
papers are in their fields, they were
nine times out of ten found on the same
sides of any political or moral question.
When Godkin died the conduct of the
Post was left to Horace White, already
an elderly man. Mr.. White has now
retired from the editorship, though re-
tanning a writing connection with the
paper and the presidency of the COM
pany. The new editor is Mr.. Rollo Og-
den, soft-voiced, shy-appearing gen
tlemen and scholar, of sterling worth
and Don Quixote aspect, who has for
12 years worked his way up from the
ranks in the most exacting editorial
office in New York.
You might almost say the Evening
Post is the only paper in the city that
has an editor, in the sense in which
the word is used in London or Paris.
1t has only few reporters, and these
of the best caliber; its editorial staff
is, on the contrary, very large, and it
has long list of outside experts in
every department of human knowl-
edge who can be relied upon to write
occasional editorials and book reviews
of astounding wisdom.

The Baptist of Standard Of Chicago pub
fishes this week the second recomm enda-

by the dissenting or minority members Of

signed the second report upon information
received by them while at the meeting
of the council in Minneap polls last May
Upon listening to a statement of condi-
tions as they have developed and as they
now exist the council made the following
recora1n endat1ons:
"First-We repeat our recommendation
that the minority do not abandon the
church to which they belong, and whose
best interests they desire to conserve.
"Second-We again urge the minority
to insist upon their right to mutual
council for the consideration of all ex-
listing difficulties, according to established
Baptist usage.
'"Third-No legitimate means ought tc
be left -untried for the settlement of a
difficulty which is working such serious
injury to the individual church, to the de-
nomination, and to the cause of Christ,

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH,

Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common d.

Mark Twains cure for cold in the

nothing whatever for twenty-four hours
or presumably until the trouble had dis
appeared
Although not able to speak from per-
sOnal experience to the effectiveness OF
this treatment, it certainly has the merit
of extreme economy, but it occurs to us
that the application of 1t to case Of nasal
Catarrh might be attended with difficult

emulating the example Of the immortal
Tanner who achieved worldwide fame
by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a national
disease and there is little doubt but that
errors in diet. particularly over eating are
a very common cause
Most people however are more inter-
ested in the cure Of the trouble than in the
cause, and modern medical science has
produced effective and less heroic
remedies than Mr.. TWains.
