Crowds Attend Great
Monarch Shows

Another tremendous crowd greeted
the carnival people on the west side
last night. The defect in the electric
lighting had been located and RENE
died, and the shows and free attrac-
tons were doing a thriving business,
Of which they are certainly deserving.
Manager Meyers does not claim to
have the largest show on earth, but
what he has on exhibition is new,
the acts are of the best, and all Of
them are clean, wholesome, many of
them entertaining and instructive, as
well as side-splitting. The attendants
are courteous and obliging and every.
thing possible is being done to accom-
mOdate and please the patrons OF the
shows.
The MoOnshiners, next to the hip
podrome, is the principal show. This
is a realistic electrical production that
excites and interests the crowds who
visit 1t to such a degree that they
forget it is only a representation and
EXPLANATIONS of surprise and alarm
are frequently heard. The Holy City,
under this canvas, is a beautiful re-
production and the singing Of the
song as the film rolls by, adds I 0 the
impressiveness and beauty of the
scene.
The Mutoscope parlor, with a goodly
number of automatic moving picture
machines, is being literally patron
lied.
The Russian prince, Nicholi, the
smallest mar in the world, drew the
multitudes last night and all were
well paid for their visit to this prince
of entertainers. Born in June, 1874,
he Is only eighteen inches in height

American HlhtOry.

Henry Cabot Lodge In the Reader
Magazine says: "A little more than
thirty years ago boy could enter
Harvard college and after four years
graduate with the highest honors with
out knowing Of the existence or the
Declaration Of Independence or when
the constitution of the United States
was framed. What was true OF Har-
ward was true OF other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included In the scheme OF the high
er education. Boys entering college
were required to know something OF
the history Of Greece and Rome, but
not Of their own country. During the
four years OF the college course they
had opportunity to study the history
of England and Europe, but never to
learn aught of the United States. This
condition Of education was merely an
indication Of an attitude Of mind ther
passing away, but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinions
seem to have been during the first hall
of the nineteenth century that there
was no American history worth tell
ing apart from the adventures OF The
earliest settlements and the events OF
the Revolution, which were both con
nected so closely with the history o.
Europe that they might be deemed o.

English Woods In Winter.

Edward Step in his wild Flowers
Month by Month gives the following
pleasing picture Of English woods in
winter: I'VE have paced these woods
at intervals through many winters, al
ways looking for the dreariness and
desolation that the town folk believe to
be inseparable from that season in
the country, but we have never found
them. Even the winter inactivity or
nature Is only admissible as a COM
narrative term. The observing eye can
see on all sides an active preparation
for the outburst Of spring and the
splendors of summer.
Seeds were sprouting, buds were
slowly swelling under ones eyes, TO
say nothing of all the activities we
know to be going forward out of sight.
In the opening month of the year when
the ground was not covered by snow
we could have made long catalogue
of the herbs that were still in leaf. We
could have shown you daisies and dan
delions in flower, chickweed also.
1--WE could have pointed out many
varied forms of moss and lichen OH
banks and tree trunks, and in the
pine woods acres Of hard ferns, all
fresh and green and glossy, rejecting
every CLEAN of wintry sunshine from
their vanished fronds."

Granf RavivaI of nud d II n m

Der Buddhist, the German organ OF
Buddhism, gives an interesting ac-
count of the revival Of this ancient re-
ligion. The study Of the Pail, 1t says,
has revealed to educated men in the
western world the hidden stores OF
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
a constantly growing influence on
western thought, having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy OF
Schopenhauer This revivifcation OF
Buddhist ideas reacted powerfully on
the orient, and newly founded socie'
ties, schools and newspapers in Bud
dhist Asia are proving that fresh vigor
has found its way into the old tree.
The revival is especially noticeable in
Ceylon and India.

How some Sittings In Trinity Chufchs
New York, Are Held.
There are few things that money
cannot buy, and one Of these is pew
in Trinity church, New York, says
Rene Bache In the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post. At all events, II
cannot be purchased from the corpora
ton. which has not sold one within the
memory OF man. When, In rare In
stances, a pew becomes vacant OF own
ership 1t is thenceforward zee sit

body.
This policy. the motive Of which Is TO
extend the usefulness OF the cnurch'
works unfortunately for many a new
millionaire who. as means Of social
promotion. would be glad to secure
membership on a substantial footing
I'm so aristocratic religious organiZa'
ton: for pews In Trinity, barring rev
that are free, belong to the estates OF
great people, such as the De Peysters
Liyingstones, Crugers and Bleeckers
who have owned them since very early
times havlng acquired them originally
by purchase). and who, as matter Of
family pride. could not be pursuadec
TO part with them under any magma
bile circumstances. John Jacob Astol
occupies n pew which he inherits, anc
William Waldorf Astor retains hi
proprletorship Of another, though III
has shaken the unworthy dust o.
America from his feet.
If urged to sell and to name theil
own price, these people would trea
the proposition in the same spirit Al
that In which the Trinity corporation
when asked not long ago why 1t woul'
not take 100000 for a certain patel
of real estate, replied that there wa
no special reason except that it had n
use for the money.

De Ieasens, LiberaItty.

In the old days in Egypt De Les
sens had an army Of men under him
in the canal office. Although he was
very exacting as to the amount OF
work which each should render, he
compensated all most literally TOT
their services. On one occasion the
surgeon of the company brought 10 MS
knowledge the case Of young book
keeper named Ernest, who had con-
tracted q disease which demanded
change of air. De LessepS did not
seem at the time to be much impressed,
but on the following morning he went
to the office, sent for the invalid TO
come to his private room and SAID:
ERNEST, have an important docu-
ment to send to Paris. 1t must go by
a special messenger by the steamer
which sails from Alexandria day after
tomorrow. l want you to get ready
to deliver it. Here is your ticket;
also a return ticket and $500 to defray
your expenses. You will probably
have to stay in Paris two months un'
til the gentleman to whom you Will
hand this letter can send me an an
swer." The letter was addressed tC
a prominent physician in Paris, who
was instructed to take Ernests health
in charge. and at the expiration of two
months the doctor sent the youth back
to Egypt restored.

We have received from source or
undoubted authenticity a copy OF the
following little rhyme by the late John
Hay. written about thirty years ago,
when he was acting as editor of the
New York Tribune, being entitled in
that capacity to the courtesy of tele-
graph frank. The occasion of his
writing this poem was in connection
with a request for renewal of his an
nual pass that had expired with the
old year. We believe this effusion has
not before seen the light Of print, and
we offer it to our readers as additional
evidence, if any were needed, OF the
natural humOr in Mr.. Hays DISPOSE
ton, that had already found expression
in Jim BludsO" and Little Brooches,
and that was ready at all times to find
vent for the interest or amusement OF
his friends:
I'd rather ride balky ass,
Or lose my hook to a big black bass,
Or stand a she book agents sass,
Or dine on nothing but blue mass,
Or share King Nebuchadnezzar's grass
Than carry around a last years pass.
Them's my sentiments.

Bible Censorship In Turkey

Turkish sensibilitieS are preternat-
urally strong upon certain points, ana
the censor is ever on the alert for
covert illusions and seditiOuS matter
Bulgaria has in the eyes of the cres-
cent realm neither a north nor south
to her principality, for might not a
south Bulgaria be taken to mean the
Turkish province of eastern Roume-
lap Likewise Shakespeare has come
under the blue pencil, and in "Othello
read for Turkish Cyprus the Greek isle
of Corfu. But the latest step in this
matter is quite the funniest. In the
Bibles distributed by the Anglo-Amer-
lean Bible society the censor has come
across the ominOus word Macedonia,
which stinks in the nostrils Of every
true son Of the prophet. The word
must 20, but might be replaced by
names of the "vilayets SalOnika, Mon
astir and Kassowa;" therefore in Acts
xvi. 9. the Christianized dog of Turk
may read, with some surprise:
"And a vision appeared unto Paul
in the night. There stood a man from
'Nonastir' and prayed him, saying,
Come over into the Turkish vilayetS
Of Salonika, Monastir and Kassowa'

WHALING REDIVIVUS.
Busy Scenes Once More Witnessed az
New Bedford.


No industry In the world mas peeh
surrounded with more romance thah
the whaling industry, which, according
TO reliable reports, shows some signs
Of reyiving. Once more the gaunt
old whalers are bringing into New BED
ford profitable cargoes OF oil ana
whalebone, and once more the VET
Gran mariners whose daring exploits
have been recounted wherever the Eng
lish language is read are encouraged
70 think that the "good old days" have
begun to return.
Since 176O New Bedford has been
the center of the whaling industry
There are no records of the early days
but II is a matter of well established
tradition that before the Revolution
and during the beginning of the last
century a great many vessels sailed
ont of the old Massachusetts port 10
the icebound seas where the leyia-
thans abound. Since 1S4S, however,
statistics have been preserved In the
whalemen's shipping list and mer-
chants transcript. The banner years
extended from 1856 TO 1859. AT pres
emf of the forty-three American YES
sells engaged in the industry, twenty
five hail from New Bedford. 1t Is
! worth noting, by the way, that, with
/ the exception Of Provincetowh
schooner. all the Atlantic whalers are
more than twenty years old. In other
words. only one vessel has been built
for whaling in recent years ut any
Atlantic Shipyard.
What renews the hope OF New Bed
ford is the fact that good catches have
been made lately. The 6arks Josephine
and Morning Star unloaded at one OF
the long wharfs the other day, the
latter alone discharging 1880 barrels
of sperm OIL besides large quantity
of WhalebOne. and other whalers are
expected back in port before long.
Last year the returns amounted 10
12S.3OO pounds of bone, 1905 barrels
of sperm oil and $3.50 barrels of whale
oil This year, it is confidently be
ieved. the returns will be still larger.
The scenes at the New Bedford
whaling wharfs on busy days attract
many sightseers. and to none is the
sight of the rakish vessels, with thelr
greasy decks and black holds and
strange equipment of implements used
I'm conouering the monarchs OF the

harpoons, explosive harpoons and dart

a WALL STREET BROKER.
II Costs to De Member of the New
York Stock Exchange.

Have you any idea what 1t costs 10
be a broker? Few are able 10 Keep
their mere office expenses down to less
than $4,000 a year. And these $1O,OOO
fellows do only a small business, for
large transactions involve great risks
and hence large capital. And, as
physical comfort has become an I'M
portant factor In modern speculation,
the broker who cannot offer the crea-
ture Injuries supplied in the offices OF
his richer rivals is bound to lose Gus
toners. There are brokers' offices up
town where the customer has lux
urious bathroom at his disposal, where
n magnificent lunch is served free,
where champagne is kept on the ice all
the time excepting when customers
are drinking ii and where cigars of the
finest lie in open boxes for all corners.
And here, again, comes the telephone.
The phone plays its part not only as
factor Of convenience TO broker, out
as a factor Of frightful expense. over
100 brokerage firms in Wall street con-
duct large part Of their business Dy
long distance telephone or by telegraph.
They are called wire houses. over
100 such houses have private tele-
phones and telegraph wires to Boston
or Philadelphia or Chicago. When 1t
IA stated that the cost of maintaining
a private wire to Chicago is $1,000 a
month and that prOportionate sum Is
charged for wires to other cities, II Is
very easy to understand why private
wire is about the costliest part OF a
brokerage business.
