THE AIR BRAKE.

westinghouse" being synonymous
 with the air brake interest naturally centered on the illustrations of the inn
 provements of this invention from the crude model of thirty-five years ago. to it's present perfection in the latest type of high speed brake. To the for eigners the demonstra tion of the signal and safety appliances in use in the New York subway, appealed most strongly. When entertained in New York, they were afforded the Oppor- tunity of seeing them at work but not of examining them in detail. C0nse- quently they devoted much of their time to the exhibit of the switch and signal apparatus and the multiple unit system of train control also in use on the New York subway trains. This system is designed sc as to secure m organization of motors and control apparatus adequate to operate trains in both local and express service at the highest speed compatible with safety of the travelling public, and is so Him~ ple that on the occasion or the lat% strike three thousand new motOrmen learned to operate it within a few weeks. Coupled with this was the efec- tric pneumatic block and signal syls- tenn. striking feature of the subway equipment, also exhibited in full oper- ation. "Subways'' being contempld ted for both in Berlin and Vienna, the
 German and Austrian delegates were intensely interested in the opera tion
 of these appliances, as the running Of
 subterranean trains calls for tine most
 complete and effective signalling sys- tenn procurable. Because of the sl'ort-
 ness of the line, the dark places and | the briof time of installation, the ap-
 niication of the system to the New 1 York subway involved an elabor Ation

Not Taken in Time by the
 Russian Government
DUE ONE YEAR AGO
A Move to Bring the Naval and Hili- tary Arms of the National Defense Into a Harmonious RelatiOn-A New Commission Above All.

St Petersburg, May 21.-The first step towards the institution of the long contemplated council for the national defense to coordinate the activities of the military and naval adminlstra- tions, has been taken in an imperial manifesto creating a special prelimi nary commission under the presidency Of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholae- witch.
 The existing council of war. which proved unsatisfactory. will be super ceded by a new body. The step Is an extremely important one, for which the events of the war in the far east have shown the necessity, the two depart ments failing to work together to the best advantage even when actuated by the most harmonious feelings, and friction has been often manifested.
 The council is created, not for the present war, but as a permanent or ganization of the state, subordinating the war and navy departments and even overshadowing the other minis tries.
 1t is understood that the formation or the new council means the definite abandonment of the plan of sending the Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholae- witch to the far east to assume su- preme command on land and sea. Gen. eral Linevitch and Vice Admiral Biri- Jeff will be left unhampered except as to general outlines of strategy.

A CHICAGO RACE WAR
A Parti.colored Accessory of the
 Strike.

Chicago, May 21.-Chicago is threat ened with a race war of serious pro- portions. Embittered by the shooting of EnOch Carlson. an eight year old boy last week by two negroes. resi- dents in the vicinity Of Twenty-Ninth and Dearborn streets have armed themselves, and clashes between the white and cOlOred men have become so frequent since the Carlson murder that it has been found necessary to detail scores of policemen in the district to preserve peace. Even this precantioa has been unsuccessful in keeping the opposing factions apart

James Gray. colored. was kill ed, Harry Bernstein was mOItanT wounded and a building in whi,A Bernstein was being held a capti, Q suffering from four bullet wounds was stoned and partially wrecked by a mob Of 1000 people.
 The trouble started when James Gray accused Bernstein anu a white companion of being the Irouble rrab- CTS. Since the teamsteTs strike Gray has been employed by the coal com pany as a driver. The merits of the strike and the shooting of young Cart son were up for discussion. Angry words soon led to blows and in che fight that followed Gray drew a knife and attacked the men. Bernstein Wssc is bartender. drew revolver and fired four shots two Of the bullets took effect in Gray's body. He fell uucon- scious and died while being removed to a hospital
 Another exhibition of the feeling ex- isting between the whites and blacks was given late tonight when Charles Poske was shot in the shoulder by a cOlored man during a disturbance at Twenty-third street and Stewart av- enue. POske is a watchman in a coal yard and he asserts that several ne groes started a quarrel with him.

PRESBYTERIAN REUNION
It Is Strongly Urged by the Moderate r
 of the General Assembly.

Winona lake. Ind, May 21-The as- sembIy sermon delivered by Moderator Jas D. Moffatt before the delegates to the general assembly of the Presbyter- ian church was the feature of the day. so crowded with religious exercises In co1nmemoration of the tooth anniver- sary of John Knox. the Scotch reform CT that many of the meetings over lapped.
 Much comment was occasiOned by that part of the moderator's sermon which referred to the proposed union with the Cumberland branch of the church.
 Dr. Moffatt said in part:
 ''There is undoubtedly a widespread feeling throughout our church that the United Presbyterian church should unite with us.
 We should not only ask them Co come to us as We have been doing, but we should make an earnest effort to go to them. We have been asking them to come to our position with respect td the singing of hymns. I am not sure that we should not go a considerable | ways toward their position in the mat ter of the use of psalms. Why should we not take the psalms of David as a form of our hymody. and write into them Jesus Christ? We need not take Rouse's version of psalms or any ex- isting translation Of them but we can take a new version of the twentieth century,

THE ERIE $ CIVIL SERVICE
4 Recognition of Only Merit on That
 System.

New York, May 21.-In connection with the announcement recently made public of twenty-six changes in the traffic departments of the Erie rail road. it is wothy of note that evey one of them was promotion from within the ranks of the Fries em- ployes Not one of the new appOintees came from the outside, or from any otker railroad. This is an applica- tion of the civil service theory to the management of a great corporation. It Is in line with the settled policy of the company to reward it's faithful and competent men for services ren- dered the company.
 Whenever superior efficiency is shown in even minor positions, 1t is the pupose of the company to promote such workers whenever a vacancy oc- CUTS. And it is a policy that wall b strictly adhered to. The faithful worker in any department now knows that he is in direct line for promotion to better position. Determination to excel in any line is thns made super for to any fancied pull" in securing advancement, as the executive off cers are watching their men constantly to find talent worth encouraging and developing.
 The Fries strict adherence to this civil service rewrd rule, aS evidenced by these promotions, has created the best possible impression among the 30, 900 employees, and tends to empha- size that esprit du corps which has won for their employees, among rall- road men, the title of "Erie's happy family"

 The loss entailed will reach S300,- 900.
 The fire originated in the millinery department of the Isaac Long Dry Goods house in the Wells building, on the west side of the public square, one of the handsomest ana costliest structures in Wilkes Barre. When it was first discovered the flames were promptly controlled by fremen in less than one hour. A second fire broke out in the basement of the building an hour after the first one had been sub dued.

AIaskans Indignant.

Residents Of Alaska are indignant,
and they seem to have excellent rea-
son. While Arizona and New Mexico
are struggling for Statehood, Alaska
is asking for the ordinary recognition
granted a territory, and is being ig-
nored. II is not permitted to so much
as have Delegate.
The average Senator would treat
Alaska fairly if the knowledge he had
of the subject were other than inf
Intestinal. He is not aware Of Alaska.
Years ago he learned that it was pur-
chased of Russia, and he has learned
nothing concerning it since.
There are 10000 American citizens
in Alaska, and they are OF a high
class. The region produces millions
annually in gold, fish, and furs. The
transportation system between Alaska
and Puget sound ports has grown to
immense proportions. The average
Senator has not conquered these plain
facts. To him Alaska is a stretch of
wilderness, dotted with Esquimaux,
sucking bits of blubber
1t is with a sense Of shame Amer
leans learn that their fellows in Alaska
regret that they are not under British
rule. The Alaskans believe from their
experience and observation that they
would under that rule receive fairer
and more liberal treatment, and that

ed. This condition does not grow out
of deliberate intent to neglect any
part Of the domain of the United
States, but is due to carelessness that
springs from ignorance. The gentle

have much missionary work to do IN

New York Tied Up.

Nothing but one of the billiards
that paraIyze all activity could leave
New York city in a state OF utter
helplessness more quickly than a tie
up on the elevated and subway lines.
Without the use of the facilities these
afford, people in the upper end Of the
city would be marooned. The surface
cars could carry but small proper
ton, and from Harlem and the Bronx
the trip under the best conditions
would consume hours.
The present strike is like many
others in that the rights Of the pub
lie are not considered 1t is the pub
lie that gets ground between the con-
tending factions. That the men have
a substantial grievance will not be
denied, and while they conduct them
selves in an orderly manner they will
have sympathy, despite the discomfort
they cause. The feeling against the
management Of the subway is es-
pecially strong, in that the concern
has been run from It's inception as
though the people whose money built
it had no interest in its operation.
Even in the small matter of adver-
tising in the tunnel, the popular
clamor has been ignored. The scale
of wages was fixed SO low that an
outburst was inevitable. Men can
not support families on the pay re-
ceived by gatemen, and ticket-chop-
pers, and other subordinates.
AS to personal grievances involved,
August Belmont, as the head of the
subway, and the head of the Civic
Federation, in which capital and labor
meet as friends and equals, ought to
find a method OF speedy adjustment

An ApostTophe to Gold.

Addressing a bankers club in Chi
cago a lawyer by the name Of Beck
used language that will strife some
people as remarkable. Said he: The
most impressive place in the world
is Wall Street. Talk about the Grand
/ feel a greater respect and reverence
for that great storage battery Of
human energy han for the greatest
wonders in nature
There was a murmer indicative of
dissent at this, and he added: THE
one Joy of man in this day and age
is to toll for money. : Let
them sneer at accumulated wealth,
but I say the only evil million is the
idle million" Noble sentiment!
Were it all true, there would be a
universal exclamation, God help
mankind"
The worship of wealth is as gross
an idolatry as was the bowling down
to the golden calf, and in the light Of
intelligence, as inexplicable. Every
man has a reasonable desire for
enough TO provide for the material
wants of himself and those dependent
upon him. There is nothing wrong
about this But why men with more
millions than they are able to count
should still crave other millions is a
puzzle TO the normal mind. The
human soul has become small and
mean when it places the acquisition
of money above any other achieve
ment
AS to prejudice against accumulated
wealth, the lawyer is wrong. Except
on the part of the wild-eyed radical
there is no such prejudice, and his
would vanish were the wealth his
own and not another's. The manifest
prejudice is against prevalent methods
of accumulation. It is excited by the
system that permits the accumulation
by individuals of wealth extorted
through trick and device, corruption.
