BIG STEAMSHIPS.

When will the limit in the size of
steamships be reached? 1t was said
when the Cedric was built that it
wouldn't pay to build bigger ships.
The Cedric and the Celtic are almost
of the same dimensions and belong to
the White Star Line. Both the Cunard
Line and the Hamburg American
Line have contracted for bigger ships
than the Cedric. They are not to be
fast ships, however. 1t is realized that
fast ships are not the money makers.
1t is understood that the new Cunarcer
will be a seven and a half day ship.
The ship that the Hamburg-Ameri-
can Line is to build, however, will be
faster ship than the Cunarder, but
not SO fast as the ocean greyhounds.
1t seems the company will be satisfied
with speed of eighteen and a half
miles an hour.
The passenger carrying capacity of
the new Hamburg American liner will
be something enormous. The state
ment is made that after accommodate
ing four full regiments there would
still be good accommodations for 500
additional passengers. 1t is the pur-
pose to use this ship in bringing emf
grants to this country she will make
pretty good progress in transferring
Europe's population to our shores. It
may be because of the size Of the
ships that there is such a remarkable
increase in the number of immigrants
reaching our shores.
When the question of sending the
negroes to Africa was first discussed
it was advanced as an argument
against the plan that there were not
ships enough in the world that could
be spared from the needs of commerce
to carry the increase in the negro pop
ulation. In view of the size of the
ships that are being built it is probable
that that argument wouldn't be adj
vanced now.
The staterooms of the new Hamburg
American liner are constructed On the
plan of the rooms of an apartment
house. And they are finished in the
very best style. all OF the better rooms
having running water In them.
The progress that is being made In
marine architecture is so great that

number of idiosyncrasies. among
them being periodical change from

1t is said of Gorky that he dined at
table d'hote one day during one
of his periods of vegetarianism, and
was much annoyed by the importuni-
ties of an old lady who sat opposite
him.

wITHoUT CAsH OR CREDIT.

King Peter of Servia finds himself in
a very unpleasant position. He has
throne but is without cash or credit
with which to run his government.
What is he going to do, under the cir
cumstances? That is an interesting
question.
A dispatch from London says that
the British government has ordered it's
representative to withdraw from Bel
grade for the present. That evidently
means that the British government
wants to know whether King Peter
proposes to bring the murderers of
Alexander to justice, or at least at
tempt to do so, before it extends to
him the right hand of fellowship.
Before his election to the throne he
said the murderers of Alexander should
be punished. But will they be? Will
King Peter attempt to have them pun
ished? The statement has been made
that he is only a figure-head. If that
is the case, and the army is the real
ruler of the country, King Peter can
do nothing towards having the muir
derers punished. But if nothing is
done will Great Britain recognize his
government? That question is raised
by that governments action yesterday.
King Peter was elected ruler of Ser
via with entire unanimity. All who
had a voice in the matter seemed to
favor him, but that does not mean that
he will continue to be popular. 1t
doesn't mean that his popularity will
be long continued. 1t simply means
that his election was the best way, at
the moment, out of a delicate situation.
1t is for King Peter to say whether or
not he will be an acceptable ruler.
And it is apparent that at the very
beginning of his reign he is confronted
with difficulties. Without money or
credit he is going to have trouble in
carrying on his government, and if the
army is the real governing power he
will find the way blocked if he under
takes to punish the assassins of King
Alexander. And if he does not punish
those assassins he may lose the good
will of Great Britain, and perhaps some
of the other Powers. His ambition
may be gratified, but he will probably
realize, if he does not already, that
kings are not happier than peasants.

Howell is the name of a town of L.
200 people situated three miles from
Evansville, Ind. The town has a street
car line. A day or two ago the COM
pany put a negro in the position of
conductor. The sight of the black man
taking fares was too much for the
people of the Indiana town of Howell.
"a crowd of angry citizens" says a
dispatch to the indianapolis News,
boarded the car and threw the negro
off. The negro was told to leave town
at once. and he has not been seen
since" What a fortunate thing for
the people of Howell that the car did
not transport the United States mails,
otherwise Postmaster General Payne
would have been under the necessity,
following his presidents. to suspend the
postofiice at that place.

it is in isolated cases, of which there

The heels of a mule are about the
last things that one would pick out
as means of rescue from impending
death, and yet they are the very
things that saved the life of little
girl in Blkton, Nd, the other day.
The child fell in front of a team of
mules running away. People turned
their heads to keep from seeing the
tot mangled by the hoofs of the ami
mails or crushed under the heavy
wheels. But neither thing happened.
The hero-mule of the occasion Jumped
over the child and kicked her out of
the way of the wagon, and she es-
capped with no worse hurt than a
slight bruise. 1t may be assumed, for
the purpose of rounding out the story.
that the mule kicked very gently with
just enough force to move the child
to place of safety.

Judge Gary of the Billion. Dollar
steel trust probably thinks things have
come to pretty pass when man cam
not build a church of his own and have
such doctrine preached in it as he likes.
Judge Gary built church in Wheaton,
NJ. at a cost of 100000, which he
named the Gary Memorial Methodist
Church, in honor of his parents. Be-
sides paying for the edifice, he con-
tributed $1,000 a year towards the SAL
airy of the pastor. and held member
ship in the congregation. Recently the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Flack, preached a
sermon in which he denounced trusts
and classed them with labor agitators
as being a menace to Americanism, in
addition to saying other things not cal
culated to tickle the ears of a trust
magnate. To show his disapproval
Judge Gary has severed his connection
with his own church, and says he is
done with Methodism for good. Has
it come to the point that the trust
magnates must furnish their own re-
hgion as we'll as churches?
