JEROME on NEWSPAPERS.

nuence tho Masses,

HARTFORD, Conn., May a. - District
Attorney Jerome, guest of the Hartford
Press Club last night, talked on the working
Of his Office and the relations that he had
with newspapers. He had never been
betrayed and had always been treated
courteously and kindly by them, he said.
The foreign element Of New York, and par
ttcllarly the great population about Grand
street, he found in his campaign, had most
nearly the ideals of American citizenship.
These were the people with the love of
country. the patriotism and respect for the
public opinion, Mr. Jerome said he believed
1t to be all rot. He said:
s(live me the headlines, and you can have
all the editorials from the Atlantic t. the
Pacific Ocean. A man does not mind
editorials but one who does not respect
news columns is a fool.
Mr. Jerome said that newspaper men
were cynical and disillusionized but that
when the ideal was reached, when love Of
adventure was paramount, as 1t was in
war reporting; then newspaper man came

An Innovation to BE Introduced ~ 81.
Vincent Ferrer's Church Tonight.

At ST. Vincent Ferrer's Roman Catholic
Church, Sixty-fifth street and Lexington
avenue, the rosary will be chanted in Gaelic
tonight. This innovation is due to the
discovery made by the Dominican Fathers,
in their last parish visitations, that large
number Of their parishioners speak Gaelic.
at least to the extent Of knowing their
prayers in the ancient Irish tongue.
The rosary will be led tonight by Father
j. A. DAILY, o. p, who learned the language
in his native land. On the only other &C.
casion on which this service has been held
the Dominican Fathers say, the responses
were clear and confident.

tonight at the First Methodist Protestant

said:
A muzzled press for Pennsylvania
Think Of III And that too by law without
a single redeeming feature. a law plainly
the child of hate, the offspring of malice,
the creature Of spite. the product of de-
signing politicians, an insult to your in
tell gence and mine-a law that makes Penn
sylvania the laughing stock Of other States
and the injustice Of which even European
nations are commenting upon--a law that
has not been equalled in the curtailmen of
freedom or the .abridgment of personal
liberty for hundred years. Even teachers
in the public schools are explaining the new
law to their pupils and pointing out it's
marked injustice. and everywhere goes up,
Shame! Shame!'

Cold and the Universe.

Heat can exist only where there is an
atmosphere, and then it must be con-
stantly supplied with fuel to overcome
the law Of constant repulsion and diff
fusion. Cold is the absence Of heat and
exists everywhere. 1t overcomes disin-
tegration and preserves the universe.
1t enforces the universal law of the
electric attraction and cohesion of at
oms and worlds.
Cold must predominant to preserve
the universe. There is billion times
a billion more cold in the universe than
heat. There always has been and there
always will be. The heat of the sun
compared with the cold that surrounds
it is as a mustard seed to Jupiter. The
earth's heat in comparison to the cold
that surrounds it Is as an orange to.the
solar system.

Opening "Buckins'' Safes.

Every big concern dealing in strong
boxes employs a professional safe
breaker against those frequent and Of
ten costly occasions when the safe sold
to some consumer 'gets out Of whack,"
says a New York paper. The work Of
opening bucking safe is usually a
matter Of minutes with the profess
sional, but occasionally he is obliged to
send for a half ton of tools before he
is enabled to procure the magic ses-
anne. Often a half hundred clerks are
kept idle for hours and business mana
gers spin around like tops while the
safe breaker leisurely pothers about
with the combination. When the safe
or vault is finally opened it is usually
discovered that some one connected
with the firm is to blame for altering
the combine ton and then keeping the
matter to himself. The professional
safe opener frequently has calls from
out Of town, and on these occasions he
usually finds that some merchant who
has just bought his first safe changed
the combination and then forgot 1t.

year he wrote in his diary: This day
my hair sacrificed and the will Of God

Dir. Frtth's Portrait of Dickeny,

" DACASNSs
1t was early III the fifties that John
Forster asked me to paint portrait Of
Dickens for him. 1 gladly consented
and was about to propose a day for the
first sitting when Forster stopped me
by mentioning what he called G most
unfortunate propensity which Dickens
had developed-he was actually grow
ing mustache! "'Tis just fancy of
the moment" said Forster, "and we
must wait till the craze has passed
away" A very few months convinced
us that the mustache, so far from pass
Ing away, was rapidly growing into
what threatened to be 4 Formidable
beard. SO, unless one-half of the face
was to be lost to US, no more time
should be lost. My idea was to paint
him In his working clothes, but when
I found that he always wore light
bright blue silk coat with big red cuffs
every morning when he took pen in
hand I demonstrated SO successfully
that after a little hesitation he con-
scented to wear the black jacket in
which he now appears at South Ken
sington.-W. P. Firth, R. A., in King,
