Some OF our contemporaries are inclined
to make light of Captain Hobson's request
to be placed on the reserve list of the
navy as an applicant for active service
IN case OF war. It seems to us very
praiseworthy act andsproves that, though
forced by a physical ailment. to leave the
navy, he is not doing so in any but the
best spirit. The captains voluntary res
ignation, after Intellectual attempts to se'
cure that retirement on half pay to which
his services entitle him, shows the gen
uineness of his disability An article in
the New York World reminds the public
that Hobson has had pretty hard time
of it the last five years. After sinking
the Merrimac he was incarcerated in a
Spanish prison at Santiago. Then he was
employed for many months raising the
Maria Theresa. Next he served for fif-
teen months at Kowloon docks, Hongkong,
repairing some of Deweys prizes. After
that he worked at Cavite navy yard until
his health was so broken that he was or
dered home, only to contract a severe at
tack Of typhoid fever; following which he
was assigned to duty at the Buffalo and
Charleston expositions. This is hardly a
fitting record for the poseur some like tt
assume Captain Hobson to be.

investigate more closely. The story that
Mary of Magdala was a harlot is based
on a; batch of legends and not on the
gospels. Those who derive it from the
latter source point to Luke vii, and the
incident therein about the woman who
was sinner coming in while Jesus was
at dinner, and weeping over his feet, wip-
ing them with her hair. and amounting
them with the ointment from her alahas-
ter box. The name Is not given Of this
woman, and it is commended that 1t must
be Mary Of Magdala because she is men
toned with Joanna, Salome, Susanna and
other women who believed and followed
Christ The latter reference relates to an
other occasion and to another time. 1t is
stated elsewhere that Christ had cast
seven devils out Of Mary of Magdala, but
there is not a word to show that such
an ailment was associated with moral i'm
purity. The distinction Is always made in
the gospels. Where the latter exists, alb
solution from sin is pronounced. The
theory that Mary of Magdala and Mary,
the sister of Lazarus and Martha, are the
| same, is without any foundation whatever.
| The latter Mary was Of Bethany. In the
sixteenth century leading European schol-
ars abandoned the theory which blackened
the Magdalene's character.

Lords Good Proposition.

State Senator Lord has introduced bill
providing for a sensible amendment TO the
constitution. He proposes that the con-
stitution be amended so that propositions
for amendments shall require only a ma
jority of votes cast on them, instead of
majority of all votes cast at the election
The legislature should not delay to submit
this amendment to the people, but there
will be great difficulty in adopting it, be-
cause of the hobbling constitutional pro-
vision it seeks to amend.
The constitution as it stands is absurd
What would be thought of a provision re-
quiring a candidate for a certain office to
receive majority of all votes cast at an
election? In view of the fact that there
are always more votes cast at an election
than are cast on any one office, even the
head Of the ticket, it would then be quite
possible for a candidate with even clear
majority of the votes cast for his particu-
lar place to be defeated. But why, then,
should a constitutional amendment that
receivestan overwhelming majority of the
votes cast on the proposition be rejected
because ignorant or careless or lazy voters
do not express an opinion for or against:
If this sort of voters opinion on such
matters has any weight at all it ought
rightfully to be as much for as against
the amendment, but now the whole class
is counted against, thus making it's ne.
elect of the duty of citizenship count as
| much as the performance Of duty by thu
| intelligent and careful.

Advices have, been received in London
from Philippopolis that Abdul Hamid has

This is not surprising, as the sultan de-
tests the word reform and has fought
against it ever since he assembled the
throne Philippopolis is the capital of
eastern Rumelia and is too nearly asso-
ciated with the Bulgarian agitation at
Sofia, which has for it's object the liberia
ton of Macedonia, to be altogether re-
liable as a source Of information. The
trend Of events; however, is somewhat
similar to that which preceded the Russo

The Happy Lumber Jack.

According to a, NeraciouS correspondent
at Houghton, Mich, life in the northern
lumber camps is one long sweet dream,
with Just enough realism to give an edge
to the dream. It is so hard to get men
to. work in the woods that the lumbernen
offer tremendous Inducements to those
who come to- stay. High wages and table
fare that would grace the diningroom OF
first class hotel are the regular thing.
Without them there would be no en-
ployes.
But the men must have musical and lit
erary diversions if they are to toll their
lives away in the piney woods. After the
days work is over they must be lulled to
sweet rest as they. smoke by highp priced
music boxes, and the camp is not what it
should be without a monograph! But
some Of the camps are not satisfied with
mechanical music. They must have grand
pianos and accomplished pianists. They
have not yet demanded recitals by Gabril-
owitsch7 but the lun1bermen are trembling
for fear they will. The Jacks may ever
take, it into their heads that they cannot
