For general years they had bot. been
saving as much as possible of thei,
earnings and had put the money all
away in common fund. Eighteen
months ago the joint savings of the
family amounted to $3.50. That was
considered Sufficient to launch the great
project.

New York Herald: Buckle devoted
nearly twenty years to the collecting OF
materials for his History Of Civilization"
He wrote only portion of the introdue.

his literary and philosophical teachingu
If the work had been finished on the same
scale as begun hundred volumes would
not have sufficed.
Cruden labored nineteen years on his
Concordance to the Bible" and :mmedi-
ately after itss publication was sent to n
lunatic asylum. He never fully recoN-
cred from the mental disease brought OH
by this gigantic undertaking.
Bancroft devoted nearly thirty years to
his History of the United States, whicI
is not history of the country at all. since
1t ends where the history of the country
properly begins Had the work been con-
tinued on the same scale down to the
present he must have written seventy five
or eighty volumes.
Scott is said to have written "Waverly
in less than six weeks. He wrote very
rapidly, seldom revised, and as conse-
quence his novels were full of blunders.
errors and anachronisms
Burns committed his poems to memory
before he wrote them. and when he sat
down to write he had before him no labor
of composition, but only the task OF writ
Ing down what he had already finished.
Gibbon devoted over twenty years of his
life to the labor of reading for and writ
ing the Decline and Fall" 1t is one OF
the most stupen3cus literary feats accom-
piisiled by one man.
Thomas Moore often wrote short poem
almost impromptu. He CO nsuEcd over two
years in reading ard preparing material
writing that inin,ituble poem.
George Elliot is said to have written
"Aliddlcmarch" in four months. Some
doubt is thrown upon this statement by
the fact that she commonly worked slow
ly, writing with great care and delibe.a-
ton, and making few crasures after the
work was done.
David Copperfield" tina. he spent two
years in the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require so long time.
many of his novels bcirg finished in
year and most of the shorter stories IN a
few days.
Though il is said that Coasreve could
prepare n drama for the sage in few
days, four or five times this period wax
given to the work of revision and recon-
struction after the play had been given
to the actors.
Nearly G.n years of lrvington's tme
was consumed in writing '"rhe Life OF
George Washington though it required
no more than ten days TO write the first
100 pages Of "Brat ebridge Hail." THE
Ahambra" was written during the three
months he spent in that palace.
Froude passed seven years in collect.

LATEST WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Washinaton's Smoke Nuisance.

Drastic action has been recon-
mended by the President looking to the
suppression OF the smoke nuisance in
this city. A letter was sent by his dl-
rectton to the district commissioners
November goth inQuiring II 1t were not
possible to proceed criminally against
the o6lcers of an electric light com
pany.
He denounced the violation OF the
smoke law by the company at the very
doors of the White House as an out
rage and urged that the managers OF
the company be arrested again and
again, at short intervals, In an effort
to abate the nuisance.
No response having been received
that was satisfactory. the President au-
thorized to-day the publication OF the
letter to the district commissioners. 1t
follows:
THE President has again taken up
with his Cabinet the smoke nuisance,
30 far as the public buildings are con
cerned. He would like especially to
call your attention, however. to the
well-nigh intolerable manifestation OF
the nuisance by the electric light COM
pany. Is it not possible to proceed
CTlmluhiIy deAlhst ihc iAihho6Sio VI
this company? If not. drastic legis!a-
ton should be recommended.
ut is an outrage on the city that
such a nuisance should be permitted
to exist right by the White House. AT
almost every hour OF the day this
great chimney can be seen emitting
dense clouds OF black smoke. 1t would
seem to be wise to 60 to the very limit
of the law and to arrest the head OF
the company, or those highest up in
the company, again and again at the
shortest possible intervals in order to
put stop to this nuisance. for the
conduct on their part amounts to
fragrant defiance Of the law and of re
spect for public opinion, and is fraught
with serious consequences to the city
of Washington"

Russia's Rotten Ships,

st. Petersburg. Dec 2S.-In an ou'
spoken article, in reply to a recent lel
ter OF Admiral Bierloff. which ap
pealed to the Russians not to openly
criticize the conditions of the navy
the Russ to-day declares the time is
past for silence, in view OF the fact
that the "old system of concealng
facts IS responsible for the loss OF
l5O,0O0,000 rubles' worth of war ships
and has covered us with shame and
grief. 1t would be absurd to hide the
defects that can still be repaired in
the ships which remain at Cronstadt
and Libau. We have already Grim
inally wasted enough time.
Even If Admiral Rojestvensky is a
clever leader and his 1000 comrades
are heroic sailors, every one knows
that we have imposed upon them an
almost superhuman task in conse.
quence of our not being furnished with
a true account of the gravity of the
events which have occurred since tho
fatal night Of February Sth."
The Grit-advocate., 1904-12-30
To Regulate Corporations.

The first annual report of the COM
missioner OF corporations has been
submitted to Congress by Commits
sioner Garfield. He says no satisfac-
tory reform is to be expected under the
state system of Incorporation; that the
federal government has at its com
mand suf1cient power to remedy exist
ing conditions in its control OF inter
state commerce.
He therefore suggests that Congress-
consider the advisabllity OF enacting a
law for the legislative regulation OF in
terstats and foreign commerce under
license or franchise which in a general
should provide as follows:
The granting of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate com
merce
"The imposition OF all necessary re-
Quirements as to corporate organiza-
tion and management as q condition
precedent to the grant OF surh fran
chise or license.
The prohibition Of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
in interstate and foreign commerc"
without such federal franchise or Il
cense.
The full protection Of the grantees
Of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case OF vi
olation Of law. with appropriate right
Of judicial appeal to prevent abuse OF
power by the administrative officers.
Commissioner Garfield says the bu-
reau. under the direction of the secre
tary of commerce and labor, affords
the appropriate machinery for the ad'
| ministration of such a law.
