GLOBE rRoTTlNe MADE EASY.

with the many Improvements being
made in the accommodations offered to
travellers, on land and sea, rapid tran
sit is growing more ana more pleasant,
and less to be dreaded. OF course,
there are many of us VINO can get no
enjoyment out of riding on a train ex-
cept possibly during the time spent on
the diner There are others of us who
frankly admit that we enjoy ride
and are always sorry when the termi-
nal is reached, but there are none of
us but will welcome any Improvement
that may be made, to add comfort or
safety, or both, to the lot of the travel
er on train or ship ',oard.
The America, the great transatlan-
tic liner just completed and put in
commission, Is not only the largest
ocean steamer ever built, but it is also
the most magnificent. This is the
property of the Hamburg-American
line and is veritable floating palace.
The ship is different in many i'm
portant respects from anything that
floats, the construction and mainten-
ance. being characterized by lavish
expenditure of money for the comfort,
safety and luxury OF patrons that won

Floating Ca ton" this being the
expensive hotel.
The America is 6S7 feet long and "a
feet inches wide, with $4,000 tons
displacement and room for 1000 pas
|sengers and crew of $40 men. Be
sides this it's registered cargo capacity
is 10000 tons, 1t is hard for ands-
man to appreciate these figures
There is room in the Amerika for
every man, woman and child in Char
iton, with almost half of Eldon thrown
in,with enough cargo room left for every
pound Of furniture, baggage or mer-
chandise belonging to these people.
Not only is the ishl- remarkable for its
size, but the decorations the dining
service and the appliances introduced
into ocean travel by this magnificent
ship would make landscape gasp.
The ship has a florists shop, electric
passenger elevators, gymnasiums,
stateroom telephones, medical baths,
and a corps of trained nurses. On the
first trip more than 5000 passengers
used the elevators. A nursery for chill
dren is conducted by trained nurses
and caretakers and this department Of
the ship proved very popular. It re-
lieved many 2 sick and worn-out moth
er of grave responsibility and at the
same time made the trip delightful for
the hundred or more children on
board.
The receipts for passage money on
the maiden trip were about $149,O0O,
while the expense of running the yes
sci across the Atlantic were about
s55.50O, leaving a profit to the owners
of $92.980. The ship itself cost SO 800.

to nine-story hotel.
The Amerika illustrates the remark
able progress that has been made in
transatlantic transportation within
the past few years. Those who travel
by the modern steamer enjoy the
splendid conveniences Of the best
hotel in the world and every contriv-
ance that science can suggest to over
come the distress Of sea travel has
been installed.

1t is time that the American nation
should awake to ker real condition,
time that these pessimistic cries
should be attributed to a chronic dys-
pepsia or some other i'll that flesh is

gram of scold should wreck the insti-

have erected. And now is the time to
recruit the army of optimism, in

want prosperity to continue, those who

that this is true one need only scan
the columns of the average metropoli-

columns may be found scores on scores
of offers of good positions for men,
women and boys. Where there are
less than two columns of applications
for positions (Which are nearly all
signed by men who demand high
wages and advertise only because
they want TO partake of the general
prosperity and improve upon the posi-
tons they already hold) it requires
more than six columns to contain all

most commonly recurrent phrase in a
majority of the advertisements; short
hours is a close second. The lines of
activity opened to the possible unem-

advertise for thirty, or forty. or fifty

A NEW RUSSIA.

beheld in Russia before existed in the
streets in ST. Petersburg Tuesday.
The people. drunk with the joy of free
dom, that joy so long withheld from
them and from their fathers, rioted In
very carnival of rejoicing when they
We're assured that the cars latest
manifesto, unlike the milk and water
promises that had preceded it, means
in fact the dawning of a new era for
Russia. White, the one man upon whom
Russia can now depend, the one man
who has not betrayed the people from
which he sprung, babe them to hope
to believe. And in the excess of their
joy they knew no bounds The fren-
zied voices of sensation-mad students,
raised in addresses to crowds of
ignorant working men, spurred the
auditors to activity that was law
lessness-but there was no law.
Soldiers sto- by but took no
heed of demonstrations that, but
the day before would have been invi-
tations to arrest or personal violence
The wild cossack, born to fight,
chafed within the restrictions laid
down for him by White, but his whip
was idle and the savage little pony of
which this savage soldier seems a part,
was held away from the mobs he loves
to charge. 1t was Libertys day.
An experiment is being tried in Rus
STA, the result of which no man can
foretell. Conditions there are different
from the conditions in any other coun-
try on the globe. The Romanoffs have
ruled with rod of iron. "Autocrat of
all the Russias," that title which Mich
olas, with unintentional sarcasm, used
in his manifesto granting freedom to
his subjects, was never an idle phrase
until that moment. For centuries Rus
STA has trembled in her fear of the czar
and every car. has lived in momentary
fear of assassination. Progress has
had no synonym in the language of the
slavs as applied to national life. Per-
sonal progress, to the rank and file of

when he sought the fountain of eter-
nal youth. But they have never ceased
to dream, and as dreams go, their
Imagination has pictured them at some
great day, free, unfettered, enjoying
the liberty and enlightenment of self
governing race. Their misery has
gained for them the pity of every civ
ilized people Their nihilistic plots and
anarchistlc schemes have been ap-
plauded by Christian world that
crushed similar movements wherever
they were unearthed outside of Rus
sian territory.
And now the way to the millennium
is opened. Can the new Russia sail
the seas of liberty without ship
wreck on the shoals and rocks Of an
archy? This is the question that the
world is asking of itself. This is the
question that White must answer.
