1T IS DIFFERENT NOV.

There was time in Bessemer when
there was nothing doing; in fact a
time when there was nothing to do
with.
A time when a dozen stores and
shops comprised all there was in a
business sense, time when there
were no recognized business streets
and when the average man who was
in the notion Of building feared to do
so because he did not know but that
he was apt to be left in what would
be residence district some day.
Not sidewalk was there in Bes-
semer then, at one time no viaduct,
no fine buildings and handsome stores
and offices, no fire district, poor FIRE
station and the postotfice and the pro-
posed paved streets we're not thought
of.
There was no board of trade, no
concentrated effort on the part of the
people who do things to work togeth-
er and such thing as building up
the New Bessemer was not thought
of.
But after awhile new people moved
in and few of the older residents
begun to get move on themselves.
They got to work and they got results.
The mossbacks, the grouchy ones and
the barnacles then as now were
drag and hindrance, and all the
growth of the New Bessemer was done
not with their aid but in spite of such
dead ones.
Every dollar that their property
has advanced in value was put there
by the efforts of the live people, the
pushers. and there is some satisfaction
in the knowledge that the whole COM
munity is properly onto the selfish do
nothings.
But the New Bessemer grew any
how and it is not yet done growing.
In fact it has only just begun, and it |
will keep right on growing and will
improve in every way.
Just watch the near future and see
i the predictions for a Greater Bes-
,emer do not come true.

JACOB A. Rns, the noted New York
sociologist and reformer, told many
wholesome truths in simple way in
his lecture at the Grand Opera house
here few nights ago. His theme
was "The Battle with the Slums," the
argument being to rescue the boys
from the evil atmosphere Of those
districts and at the same time to give
relief to the population in general
Riis has done great deal toward
bringing about a reform of those con-
ditions. His idea Of treating boys as
human beings instead of treating
them as lower order of animals is
the correct idea. Many a boy is a
diamond in the rough, and as a rule
the better the lad is treated the sooner
will the diamond that is hidden be-
meath an uncouth exterior be dis

RUSSIANS express surprise at the
lack of American sympathy for them

Russia should remember that the peo-

protest against Russia's barbaric and
inhuman treatment of the Jews whom
she robbed, to say nothing of forcing
the Jews, thus pauperized to come to

The fact that Senator Stewart fail

tense Indignation, not only in the Stew

Just why the white haired senator I'M
tremendously gets rid of the heir

of his friends aver that the senator is
alone responsible for this unusual
method of getting rid of an accumula-
ton of possessions which he does not
care to retain since he married again.
When approached upon the subject,
he acknowledged that his orders were
to remove everything in his former
home without reference to it's family
history or associations.
Whatever the real secret of the stu

shown to valued household effects, the

caused his daughters much anguish.

At the opening session kilograms of
congratulatiOn were exchanged with
the Presbyterian general assembly
which began its session in Buffalo to-
day. The consolidation of the two de-
nominations, which has been agitated
for years is one of the foremost mat
ters to receive attention at the pres
ent assembly. 1t is expected that both
assemblies will take action favorable
to the proposed amalgamation. Other
matters affecting the doctrine and dis
cipline of the church will be considered
and acted upon during the week or ten
days the assembly will be in session.
