j. P. Morgan gives away almost
as much money in the course of a year
as any of our other great philanthro-
pists, but does not like to have his char
ity known. Ten big charitable insti-
tutions in New York were built by him,
but none bears his name. His great
est charity is keeping young boys off
the streets by getting them work.
lin New York recently a reporter
made several vain attempts to see j.
Pierpont Morgan, both at his office and
his residence. Finally his opportunity
came. He was interviewing another
financier and, incidentally, came into
possession of the latter's card. He
kept 1t, then, going to Morgans resi-
dence, sent in his own card in COM
pany with that of the financier. The
ruse was successful and he was shown
into Morgan's presence. When the re-
porter had stated his reason for the
call the financier said: do you know,
young man, that at least ten reporters
have tried to see me to-day with ref
erence to this question? I have de-
clined to see all of them" The re-
porter smiled and replied: Eyes, sir,
l know that. for 1 was the whole
ten.' He got his interview.

SEWING MACHINE FoR Es0uIMAux

From the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
A band of eleven Esquimaux from
the Aleutian Islands passd through
Seattle on their way home from the
st. Louis Exposition, attired in the
garments of civilization, and two of
the squaws are taking back sewing
machines, which will be installed in
their ice huts to supplant the bone
needle and gut thread with which they
have been wont to sew their gar
ments.
On the down trip the party could
not appreciate a bed and all slept on
the floor. Now they take to the beds
as naturally as they do to seal oil on
their native heath, and, strange as IL
may seem, none of them is homesick.
and all are anxious TO return to this
country next year.
One of the articles that are being
taken back by the head man of the
party is a stovepipe hat. He saw
President Roosevelt wearing a high
silk hat at the fair and when told
that Il was the President who wore IL,
he at once commissioned Mr.. Bales
to go out and buy him one. As be-
comes the dignity Of the chieftainship.
he will only wear the hat on state
occasions.
The four children are also dressed
IN knickerbockers. shoes and stock
ings, and are very proud OF their
American garb.

From the Pilgrim.
Many Americans with the two his
torical dates of 1907 and 1920 firmly
fixed in their minds may be surprised
to learn that for nearly a century be-
fore the days of jamestown and
Plymouth Rock, Christian affairs had
been standing on this side of the
great waters. The daring Spaniards
followed close after the great discov-
erer and braved the seas in search of
treasure. SO it was that the intrepid
Cortez marched upon Montezuma' 8
capital after burning his ships be-
hind him at Vera Cruz. Here at
Tlascala, twenty miles north of Puebla
and less than fifty miles east of
Mexico City, Cortez found stanch al
lies. Their four chiefs he baptized
from a huge black lava font. Each
of these rulers had key 10 the great
treasure chest, which can still be seen,
an enormous affair having four locks.
Here is also shown the banner Cortez
carried in his conquest, and afterward
presented the Tlascalans for their 10y
atty. 1t is about ten feet long and
forked at the end; its fine and heavy
silk was once a beautiful crimson.
The Tlascalans have again and again
refused almost fabulous sums offered
for 1t on behalf of Spain. These ma
tives throughout the country cling
with a wonderful tenacity to any such
relic for in their eyes it is supremely
sacred. At the time of Cortez Tlas-
Gala was an important city. Charles
V of Spain signed the grant of arms
to the city, while Phillip II affixed
his signature to the city charter at
Barcelona May 10, 1885.
The church of San Francisco the
original one built by order of Cortez,
is in good preservation, having been
well cared for On the pulpit in the
chapel is found this unique inscrip-
ton, 'Aqui tubo principle ell Santo
Evangelio en- este nuevo mundo."
("Here the Holy Gospel had a begin
ming in the New WORLDLY Like the
interior of all Mexican churches, this
chapel is highly decorated. being espe-
cially rich in elaborate statues.
Tlascala is the capital of the state
of the same name, which happens to
be the smallest commonwealth in the
Mexican union. The city now num-
bers barely 1000 inhabitants, while
the greater part of it's public build
ing show there is no progress and
but very little repair.

THE nRYAN coNrEnENcE.

VIII Mr.. Bryan be able to recapture
the machinery of the Democratic party
from the Eastern Democrats? That
is question that many Of the leading
Democrats in the East and South are
now considering.
Mr.. Bryan and his Nebraska friends
are discreetly silent about the con-
ference which they held at Lincoln on
last Friday night. About the only
thing decided upon, as far as known,
was to organize throughout the coun-
try clubs of those who entertain ideas
as to what the Democratic party should
stand for similar to those to which Mr..
Bryan gave expression Immediately
after the presidential election.
1t will not be difficult to organize
political clubs, provided somebody
stands the expense of maintaining
them. But it is doubtful If there would
be much enthusiasm in them. Mr..
Bryan has lost his hold on the great
majority of his party. He still has a
following in the West, but his friends
and admirers in the South and East
are few and far between. He may be
personally popular in all parts of the
country but his political ideas are
not. He still clings to free silver coin
age. The East and the South have
very little use for a leader who clings
to an issue as dead as that of free sill
YER
And there is another matter worthy
Of careful consideration. 1t is that
the South is going to be more In evil
dence in the next campaign for Presi-
dent. If she doesn't furnish the can
didate she will name him.
She will not name Mr.. Bryan. She
may have a great deal of respect for
him, but she doesn't put much faith
in the political judgement of a man
who insists he is right about silver
when, as a matter of fact, the whole
country thinks he is wrong.
A month ago it was thought Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Watson would work
together, but more recently some
things have cropped out which create
doubt as to whether they are in en-
tire harmony. The fact is probably
that neither wants to play second fid-
die to the other. That fact may keep
them apart.
Mr.. Bryan's getting into the presi-
Dental field so early would seem to
indicate that he expects a long, hard
hight to get control of the party ma
chinery. Perhaps Mr.. Taggart the
chairman of the National Committee,
could be induced to step aside and let
MN nave his place. Mr.. Taggart
doesn't seem to be exactly the man
for the position.

THE czAR PROMISES REFORMS.

The agitation which has been, and
is still, going on in Russia for gov
ernmental reforms of various kinds
promises to be productive of good re-
suits. The Cars reform edict, issued
on Monday night, a synopsis of which
was published in our dispatches yes
terday, deals with eight subjects, all
of which will be referred to commit
tees of the council of ministers with
instructions to report at an early day.
Some of the proposed reforms are far
reaching. and if adopted. will bring
about a great Improvement in the con-
dition of the Russian people.
1t is impossible to predict with any
degree of certainty what the reports
of the committees will be, but the pre-
sumption is that in the majority of
cases they will be favorable. 1t is
not reasonable to suppose the Gar
would raise hopes of reforms if he
did not intend to grant them. No
doubt some of the ministers will be
against the reforms suggested in the
edict. 1t is stated in the dispatches
that the reactionaries think too much
is promised. The Liberals. however,
are disappointed. They think the Car
hasn't gone far enough. The fact that
both parties are dissatisfied is pretty
good sign that something will be done
in the direction of reform.
If only one of the reforms should be
IL zee
providing that there shall be full
and equitable enforcement of the exist
ing laws, the common people would
have cause to be thankful.
In Russia so many people are inn
prisoned or sent to Siberia without
full, legal trial that the certainty of
such a trial will be a great step for
ward. Besides. if greater freedom of
the press is accorded. public questions
will be discussed, and there will come
into existence a public sentiment which
will exert powerful influence with the
government in the struggle for add
tional reforms.
No doubt the Car realizes that If
the proposed reforms are granted agi-
tation for others will be at once be-
gun. He may resist it for a time, but
eventually he will have to make other
concessions. The people of Russia will
not be satisfied until they have a con-
stitution-until they are allowed a
voice in the government. 1t may be
half a century before their demand in
that respect is granted, but it will be.
In the meantime the people will be
prepared for their new responsibility
by a system of education.

sticlIers for Form.

Not long since native in Kali,
Hawaii, cheated a neighbor out of a
small sum of money. The community
was indignant and determined that
the guilty party should be punished.
The day of the trial came, the testi-
mony was conclusive, the judge clos
ed his charge, reminding the jury that
1T takes nine to convict" for three
fourths majority was required, instead
of unanimous jury. 1t was thought
that the twelve might decide in the
box, but the Hawaiian likes form. and
they gravely withdrew to the Jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time. At length the judge, i'm
patient, sent to find out what in the
world was the matter, and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction, and no three could be in
duced to vote for the defendant.

THE TALBOT-IRyINE CASE.

The grounds of the new presentment
in the Talbot-Irvine case-ithe case
which stirred up such a sensation in
Central Pennsylvania couple of years
ago-are not public, and will hardly be
made public before the beginning of
the inquiry. The accused party is the
Right Reverend Talbot, Bishop of Cen
trail Pennsylvania, and the prosecutor
is Rev. DR.. Ingram N. w. Irvine.
Episcopalians all over the country are
deeply interested in the case, because
1t is an unusual one in the church.
The case had its beginning in 1899.
DR.. Irvine was in charge of st. Paurs
Church at Huntingdon. Pa, in Bishop
Talbots diocese. He asked the Bishop
for Instructions as to the standing in
the church of Mrs. Alexander Elliott.
She had been twice divorced and had
then become the wife of Mr.. Elliott,
after he had obtained divorce from
his former wife, on the charge that
she had deserted him. The advice DR..
Irvine received from the Bishop was
that Mrs. Elliott was accommodated,
but It seems he receded from that po-
sition.
out of this condition of affairs grew
prolonged dispute. in which there
was disclosed some sensational fea-
lures. The Bishop demanded DR..
1rvines resignation, and. when it was
not forthcoming. the doctor was de-

the Bishops ecclesiastical and personal
conduct. which resulted. by a majority
Of one, in his favor.
Now there is TO be another inquiry
on new prosecution of facts. II will
be begun at Reading on Jan. 10. The
statement IL made that the coming in

than the first one.

Suppose we were to attempt to fol-
low all of the directions of the 'emi-
nent authorities" what would be our
end? One set of eminent medical au-
thorities has decreed that we eat too
much and do not drink enough water;
and now comes another set with the
assertion that the eating it not so
much the matter, but we drink too
much. The drinking is not of the wine
when it is red in the cup, nor of the
spirit of the golden grain after dis
tillation, but plain water, of the sort
we get from the well or the hydrant.
EVERY drop of water taken into the
body means additional work for the
heart and the kidneys" says one doc
tor. IF water is taken into the sys-
tenn in such quantities that it cannot
be properly handled by the kidneys, it
does very great HARM" says another.
1.-THE practitioner should be very
careful in advising his patient how
much water to drink says a third.
Does it all mean that we shall short
ly have to attach water meters to
our drinking cups?
