by, says the Philadelphia Record. For
the first time, he has just revealed the
interesting facts connected with his
singular diversion, that of making a
solid tinfoil ball weighing 525 pounds,
which no two men can lift.
1t measures 48 inches in circumfer-
ence and contains 3G,75O pieces of tin

containing various brands Of smoking

to such an unusual undertaking, the
superintendent replied: "We'l, 1t was

soon assumed ball-like shape. 1t was

And Genial, who could refuse nc
one, promised. Long before he came
home the next night there were sew
eral boxes delivered in his name at
the front door. Mrs. Genial peeped
into them and saw that there were
some new shirts and collars, few
neckties, some socks and other wear
ing apparel. A few days later suit
of clothes was delivered from the
tailor and hat box contained q
brand-new straw. In celebration OF
this extensive wardrobe Mrs. Genial
called up her dearest friend, Mrs
Curt, and announced that she and
her husband would that evening make
that long promised call. She also lei
drop something about the lovely new
clothes her husband had just got
and Mrs. Curt was prepared to be

SEEK SPEEDY END OF WAR
Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty to Be-
come Effective as Soon as Pact
LIS Approved.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The treaty Of
peace between Russia and Japan will
become effective upon its approval,
without waiting the formal exchange
Of Publications at Washington. This in
formation was impaired at the Japanese
legation Monday. This course has been
decided upon that the speediest possible
termination of the war may be had.
The treaty, II is understood, has passed
through the necessary preliminary
stages of approval in each country and
is now before the respective emperors OF
Japan and Russia for the royal signature.
AS soon as IL has been signed this fact
will be communicated by cable to the
state department at Washington and
the Washington government will ap-
prise each emperor of the act Of the 9TH
er. With this accomplished the war will
be at an end.
The formal exchange Of notifications
will be carried out In Washington an
soon thereafter as the signed treaties
reach here.
Precedent is found for the telegrahic
exchange of notifications in the manner
in which the last treaty between tt"
United States and China w"s made OBJ
erative.

Irishmen Avoid British Navy.

The confession, literally wrung from
Mr.. Prettyman, the secretary Of the
British admiralty, that in the course
of the year 10000 there had only
been 200 recruits to the royal navy
from Ireland is a powerful proof OF
the efficiency Of the resolution of the
Irish Catholic hierarchy calling upon
the parents and guardians Of Catholic
youths not to give their consent tc
the enlisting in the navy Of their chill
dren and wards SO long as the minis
trations Of Catholic clergy on board
the kings ships of war were denied
them.

What the Weather Man Saves

In spite Of the standing Jokes about
the weather man, 1t is probable that
for every dollar spent on the weather
bureau ten dollars are saved. At the
time of the Mississippi food of 1897,
$15,000,00 were saved as a result OF
warnings issued week ahead. Sig
nails displayed for single hurricane
have detained in port vessels valued
with their cargoes at $2O000.0OO. The
West Indian stations, established in
1898, inform us of hurricanes as soon
as they begin. Eighty-five per cent OF
forecasts now come true, and by the
aid Of rural free delivery $4,000, 900
forecast cards were distributed last
year to farmers many of whom could
not have had them five years ago.

special price, and couldn't take

When Genial got into his suit he found
that the trousers we're three inches too
long, and the vest did not quite meet
them at the top. The coat was padded
higher in one shoulder than in the
other. and while the top button would

The Tree And Its Fruit.

Mr.. H. H. Mccormack of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, has seen fit to give this
reply to Mr.. Goodwin Smith, who is
constantly engaged in writing agnos-
tic letters to the New York Sun:
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: OF
the party of doubt or unfaith, to which
Mr.. Goodwin Smith seems to incline,
beg leave to ask few questions. The
Founder of Christianity established a
tsst which may with justice be applied
alike to the believers and the doubt
ers: "By their fruits We shall know
them"
Which faction has done the more to
make this world better place to live
in, to make their fellow men happier,
the doubters or the believers?
Please give me list of the agen-
cies of he1pfulness founded by the
doubters. Where is the Doubters'
Orphan Asylum, the Agnostics' hos
pita1, the Infdels' 1nfrmary, the I'm
faiths St. Vincent de Paul Society (or
similar organizations), whose work is
to nurse the sick, shelter the home
less, relieve the distressed, comfort
the afflicted, raise the fallen and aid
the unfortunate?
The "superstitious" orthodox be-
levers are so busy with these things
they don't have time to meet such as
Mr.. Goodwin Smith in the arena of
discussion on questions of faith and
doubt. They believe that deeds
speak louder than words, that "By
their fruits ye shall know them"
