When the thousand corpses from the Slocum wreck had been buried, a vast open air meeting was held in one of the squares of New York city to do honor to the dead,s In the very center of the park stood a great catafalque draped in black, and as the mourners marched past to the music of Chopins funeral march they could read the in- scription on it's face: May we nor have died in vain" Have they died in vain? asks 8 writer in Leslie's Monthly. And the fifty thousand pas sengers and employees who were maim- ed last year on the railroads, and the four thousand more who were killed outright-have they suffered and died in vain? And those five thousand oth- CTS whose deaths came suddenly on American railroads last year, lightly passed over in the reports as ''trespas- sers' because they were not working on the railroads nor travelling upon it --what of them? And what of that other and larger army, burned maimed and crushed in other accidents direct ly traceable to American negligence, American recklessness and American money-making?

Speaking on the subject of public ownership the New Britain Herald says that the growth of the public own ersnip idea in Canada seems to sur pass it's growth In the United States, possibly because in Canada, which is the younger country in industrial de- yelopment, vested interests are not nearly So powerful as they are here. In three Canadian cities to-day. To ronto.

Tn the proyince of Ontario the provincial government is now actually building an important steam railroad, and the party out of power promises that, if placed in power, 1t would see that the road were operated directly by the government.

NOT NEAR ENOUGH TO SHOOT

When the Earl of Cionmel was visiting in this country a year or so ago he was introduced to a party at Delmonico's of which ex-Sheriff Tom Dunn, of New York, was a member, One night Dunn asked the question usually put to tourist;
 "How do you like the country. my iord?"
 T am astonished with it's vastness,'' replied Clonmel, also according to the card. Ut is the greatest country on earth, as you Americans assert, and yet it is also small. Everybody worth knowing seems to get into New York. I find everybody here that wish to see no matter where they live. That is one of the remarkable things, the size of the country. and yet the ease with which the people can get togeth- er.
 Tt is quite remarkable in that re- spect." asserted MT Dunn. "I quite agree with you. 1t is so different at home. I am from your estate in Ire land. I am from ClonmeI myself. Here in America you and are sitting at the same table At home couldn't get near enough to your father to shoot him."

He says: It would al- most seem as if iIl the last analysis the free libraries will Lave to become less free, especially in those towns which possess population which can from the point of view under consideration be considered dangerous, as related to the circulation of infectious diseases. The advantage of having them cannot be overestimated, so that whatever is finally decided upon to- save the com munities in which they are located from the danger of an epidemic. the fact must not be lost sight of that a way must be found to preserve the good there is in them. The only prac- tical suggestion that has thus far been made is to thesteffect that a nominal charge be made for the books taken. not one great enough to burden the reading community which 1t Is de sired to further educate, btu small enough to put a responsibility upon the book drawers by means of which they would be led to give them better care. and thus escape the now practical dan- ger This will d0dlhtIosa HIscO,,7.o e,o those who have such faith in the free circulating library as q means of in. creased civilization, but if the choice must be made between the physical and the intellectual death of the cornmLni. ty there is no room for choice.

The Making of Thirst Quenchers

The Dairy and Food Commissioner OF
the State has issued pamphlet for the
month of January in which he gives the
tests made by chemists with regard to
beers, ales and syrups and some other
Misunderstanding drinks sold in the
State. Many of them are branded as
being fakes, pure and simple. and in
stead Of being what the label on the
bottle calls for, such as real orange
juice, they are simply combinations OF
chemicals which look like the real
thing but are mot. Even the matted
liquors, according to the chemists. are
saturated with preservatives which are
injurious to health.
1t is pretty hard on the topper that he
should not only spend his money for
what he believes to be the real thing,
but should be slowly poisoned with all
sorts of stuff which are not supposed to
be ingredients usually employed in the
compounding of beer, ale and syrup
Some of the liquors are preserved by
the use of salicylic acid and others are
adulterated with this chemical, osten-
sibly for the same purpose. Coal tar
dye also appears to enter into the make
up of good many supposedly harmless
drinks in order to give them an attrac.
tive appearance. The report is an in
structive one, because it shows that the
man VINO rushes from river water on
account Of the microbes may taste
something which is just as harmful in
the long run. The moral would seem
to be that the sooner the thirst habit ID
conquered in this section of the State
the better off the citizen will be.-Dis

Shirts for China

The recent declaration of Senator
Quarles that if every inhabitant OF
China should buy one shirt year il
would mean an overwhelming increase
of business for the cotton mills, opens
up visions of wealth and industry. The
question presents itself how the somno-
lent Chinese nation shall be induced to
indulge themselves in that annual INK
ury. On that important point tie
Washington Post digs up precedent.
Some year ago American capitalists
engaged in developing the cotton indus
try of Mexico The native legs were
extremely eligible for covering of cot
ton trousers, but the contented poems,
in view of climatic mildness, fSiled to
see the necessity. That was slight
obstacle to American enterprise. At
the time of the annual circuit of bull
fighting proclamation appeared from
President DiaZ that within municipal
limits no citizen should appear with
out unmentionables. The Mexicans
could not see the bull fights without
supplying themselves with cotton
trousers; and the cotton trade doomed.
1t is cogently suggested that some
thing like these Napoleonic tactics can,
with the aid of diplomacy and a
strong navy, be employed to induce the
moon-eyed heather to make the desired
purchase of the annual shirts-Dispatch.

WAR NOTES.

On Thursday last the Japs were re
ported to have cut the telegraph line:
leading to Vladivostok and to have de
stroyed mile of the railroad leading
to it. The Chunchuses, the bandits OF
the mountains of that vicinity, have
taken up the Jap cause, and attacked d
Russian outpost. but were defeated. and
escaped to the mountains. The main
force of the Russians was at Liao-Tung
on the Yalu river, and the Jap army
was reported as marching north from
Seoul.
On Saturday there were rumors OF
Jap victories on land, and on Sunday
the Japs were threatening the invest
ment of Vladivostok, and the Russian
Admiral in command of the town had
warned the inhabitants to leave it.
On Tuesday the Jap feet was again
bombard1ng Vladivostock, and troops
were landing at the mouth of the Tu-
men river nearby.
Yesterday it was reported that the
japanese and Russian fleets had met
near Vladivostock and that the Russian
fleet had been destroyed. A great
storm was reported on the Gulf of
Pechili.

COUNT Won WALDERSEE.

Count Won Wa!dersee, the Field Mar
shall of Germany, whose death was an
nounced, Sunday, was a man OF ac-
knowledged ability which he never had
an opportunity of effectively. convin-
cingly and impressively applying. He
did good service during the Franco
Prussian war, when he acted as aide
de-camp to King William. but he did
not take a leading part in that tremen-
dous struggle, and with its termination
all the chance that he was to have OF
distinguishing himself upon the field
was over. After that his activities
were to be engaged either in diploma
cy, where he achieved considerab ble
success, or in developing, co-ordinating
and perfecting the military resources
of the German Empire. This, indeed,
constituted his life work. He was ap-
pointed in 1881 to succeed Won Moltke
as chief general of staff, and in that ca
pacity he labored increasingly to make
the German fighting machine what it is
since reputed to have become, the most
formidably efficient organization of its
class in the world.
