Influence of the Telegraph.
A Great Opportunity for the Dissemina-

- A great field Of labeS- left un-

country, is suggested by the comment
of one of them on the spread of
American slang. He said that when

them already talking the same dialect

Inertia in Church Going.
Some of the Reasons Why People Do
Not Go to Church as Often as
They Did

Periodically we hear complaints
that attendance at church is falling
off. especially among men, who too
frequently prefer to stay at home
with pipe and a newspaper. or
stroll off in the woods rather than do
themselves up in starched clothing
and sit in a pew on Sunday. There
is a sneaking feeling in good many
families that this course is not alto
gether as immoral as 1t Is repre-
scented TO be. Some observers frank
ly say that the strenuous life led by
the average business man makes q
day of rest a necessity to him, and
that he really cannot go to church
every Sunday, and TO prayer meeting
every week, as his father and grand
father did.
The church question is rather a
serious one at this stage of our ma
tional life. and ought to be consid-
cred without levity on one hand, or
severity on the other The fact is
that church-going, as it is done in
many households, is really more
wearisome than day in the Office to
the head of the family. 1t is a serious
undertaking, occupying half the day,
and the half, moreover, which he
really needs for rest. 1t is all very
well to say that he might go to bed at
o'clock on Saturday night and get
his sleep that way, or that he need
not work so hard on week days, but
we all know that the former course
is impracticable, and that most of
the business men of today are so sit
uated that they have to work hard or
drop out of the procession.
In rural communities, and in less
hurried times, church-going was a
rest and relaxation. The farmer, oc-
cupied all the week on his farm, may
really enjoy meeting his neighbors In
religious service-enjoy ii physically
as well as mentally and morally But
to the modern business man, to hurry
through breakfast, dress and go to a
downtown church means an exertion
uncomfortably like doing business.
There are many good wives and
mothers who really show their re-
ligious spirit in letting the men of
their families follow their own bent
on Sunday. They need feel no qualms
of conscience because they do not
nag. There is nothing said about
nagging as duty1 in the Bible. But
it does seem sometimes as If church
going might be made simple and in
formal enough 10 be adapted to the
needs Of the modern American man,
and it can be. If the habits of think
ing In the household admit. If the
purpose of going TO church is not
necessarily to meet certain people or

TURKISH MINISTER SAYS
SULTAN IS NOT SICK

Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. does
not credit the recent press reports an
nouncing the illness of Abdul Hamid. the
Sultan. The minister says he received
official correspondence from the SuItan's
court only two days ago and that his
majesty's health at that writing was
reported TO be in excellent condition.
The latest dispatches. he states, more
over. announce most satisfactory con-
dition of affairs throughout the Balkans
and he anticipates no trouble there as
a side issue To the Russo-Japanese war.
Abdul Hamid, the present Sultan, is
now sixty-two years OF age. He has
been troubled with very little Illness
and has become quite stout Though he
has numerous sons, the succession to
the throne will not go TO his own chill
dren. but according to the Turkish Gus
tom the oldest brother of the ruler. who
in this instance is only a few years
younger than the Sultan, will take up
the scepter.

SANDY Broom Stack.

A young lawyer in Charleston. s. C..
whose hair was OF that color generally
called SANDY" was one day cross-ex-
amining an Irishman. a witness in -
case involving the ownership OF a Ger
tain COW.
1t became very material TO prove the
color of the COW and the Irishman was
pressed by the lawyer for a description
OF the animal as TO color. After a mo-
ment OF hard thinking and with twin
kle In his eye and just a shadow OF .
smile on his lips the witness replied:
Well sir: as near as l can come to
the color IL was a sort of an ugly
sandy brown. about the color OF your
own hair, SIR"
The answer evoked a burst of laugh
ter. and the lawyer did not proceed
any further with the cross-examination
OF the witness.
After that day. the lawyer was known
as ''Ssndy'' Brown and he often told the

The Cornell Appropriation.
Curious State of Things in Apportion-

4AS G0ANdAAOA 4
A queer and not very edifying spec
tacle is presented in New York just
now, in connection with a proposed
appropriation for Cornell University
All the other colleges and universities
in the State seem to think Cornell
does not need it, or, if it does, that
they ought to have a chance at the
pie-counter, too.
1t sometimes looks as if the pie
counter idea were dominating Amer
lean life nowadays. We continually
hear of this, that and the other mat
ter that somebody wants a share"
in whatever good is given out. Col
leges, in this case, protest against the
Legislature of a State overlooking
any applicant for cash. We hear
Congressman and Senator'S insisting
that every section" must have its
due amount of appropriations. We
find municipal governments Obliged
to give places so that each ward shall
have its share. We even hear a great
deal of talk about there not being
enough work TO go around, so that
the necessities, not the ability, of
each applicant must be considered to
make it hold out
OF course, there is sense in all this.
Favoritism is mischievous. and legis-
lators must look out for the interests
of their constituents. But it does
seem as if we could manage TO put
the thing so that ii would not look
quite so much like a crowd of rude
little boys at a school treat, grabbing
each as much as he can get, or like
those company tea tables, where the
children count noses and watch the
distribution of the good things with
painful anxiety for fear they will not
get their share. 1t is certainly not
| dignified when college and university
presidents assume that attitude.

Science and Crime.
Paradoxical Situation Described by
Hair-Splitting Moralis;s.

Hair-Splitting MOralisis.
Somebody with turn for specula-
ton has pointed out the fact that the
recent achievements in science tend
not only TO Illustrate crime, but to
prevent the punishment of the c=imi-
nal. An example of this is found in
the case of a woman who stabbed a
man recently, with obvious intent to
kill him, and would have killed him
but for the skill of the surgeon who
sewed up his rents and made him
whole Undoubtedly, before Surgery
reached its present state of effective
ness, the man would have died, and
the woman would have suffered the
punishment of murder. The deduc-
ton drawn from this is, does not sci
ence encourage crime by removing
the danger of the consequences
This moral problem is a little too
deep for us. It may be that the ends
of abstract justice would be better
served by letting people die when
they have been shot, or stabbed, or
poisoned, and then killing off their
murderers, but there are the interests
of the victim 10 be considered. If it
ever comes to- pass that person suf-
fering from an attack of this kind
prefers TO be allowed to die, so that
the murderer may be punished, it
Will be time to consider the problem
seriously. 1t will also be interesting
to consider the state of mind of the
victim who passes into eternity with
such a thirst for revenge as that.

Russia has come fatty out with the
announcement that she will not allow
any interference with her backyard
in this war She will not tolerate
mediation now, or Intervention when
the japanese have been whipped, as
of course they will be- The attitude
OF Japan appears to be the same; in
deed, there has been no reason to sup
pose at any time that Japan wanted
outside persons TO NEEDLE with her
fight for her race. At any rate, this
unequiyocal declaration leaves all our
consciences clear. We cannot make
Russia do anything she has made up
her mind not to do without making
war on her ourselves, which would,
of course, be immoral But it looks
as if the dove of peace might as well
retire TO a hole in the rock.
