ASSASSINATION OF GAPoN.-The st.
Petersburg More Vremya Of Sunday,
prints a circumstantial story which
tends to confirm the reports that tath-
er Gapon has been assassinated by a
revolutionist. Father Gapon Is repre-
sented as having entered into relations
with a group of the Fighting Organi-
Zation" of the terroriStS, and in order
to test his loyalty one of the leaders,
an engineer named Gutenberg, under
the alias of Martini offered to betray
the secrets of the organization to the
government. Gapon. according to the
story, took the bait. He offered TO
conduct the negotiations. Some hag-
Cling about the price to be paid fol-
lowed, Gutenberg demanding $4,000.
Finally. however, on his agreeing to
accept $12,500 Gapon went to Odarki,
small place beyond the Finnish from
tier to meet Gutenberg for consum-
nation of the agreement. He has not
been seen since.
A Jewess named Holsttin, a member
of a group of revolutiOnaries with
which his friends knew he was In close
consultation at that time, mysteriously
disappeared the day afterward.
The plain inference is, the paper says,
that the revolutionaries, finding Gapon
to be a traitor, executed him, and
that Gapon's papers, which reached his
lawyer. Margolin, from Berlin a few
days ago. We're forwarded by the Hol-
stein woman.

Much needed rains fell yesterday af-
ternoon and last night, and far as in
formation has been obtainable they
have been quite general.
We don't think there is any doubt
about the fact that to the late James
Leslie McGill, more than to any other
one citizen, belongs the credit for the
establishment of the Presbyterial High
school at Bethany. Mr.. McGill con-
ceived the idea years ago and worked
on 1t persistently until he saw the un-
dertaking well under way. But he
would have never been successful ex-
assistance of others in the community,
and the fact that there were those who
were willing to work shoulder to
shoulder with him In this matter Is to
be taken as evidence that this irstitu-
ton will not be allowed to languish.
The Bethany people owe it to them
selves and to Mr.. McGill to see that the
school Is maintained, and there Is no
reason to fear that they will fail to
measure up to their responsibility.
II is very necessary that there should
be some legislation that will facilitate
the congested calendars Of the court
of common pleas for York county. AS
matters now stand, although York has
about as much business as all the 9TH
er counties Of the circuit together, the
court has no more time here than In
any one of the other counties. 1t has
been demonstrated several times that
the special term expedient Is COM
plete failure so far as accomplishing
the purpose intended Is concerned, a "
there Is no need to look for relief from
that source. The calendars, are grow
ing at q much more rapid rate than
they can be relieved. This Is especial
ly the case with Calendar /, and unless
something Is done in the meantime 1t
will soon be a matter of years after a
case has been put on the calendar be-
fore 1t can be reached, 1t has been
suggested that 1t will be very good
idea to amend the law regulating the
holding of courts in this circuit SO as
to provide for two weeks at York at
the beginning Of the circuit and two
weeks at the end of the circuit.
Even an arrangement like this will not
relieve the calendars for quite while.

TIE FAITHFUL SLAVEs.-The United
Confederate Veterans at New Or
leans, adopted resolution recon-
mending to the different states the
pensioning of eX-slaves who followed
their masters to war. There is moth
ing new i'm this sentiment. The
faithful slaves have always been re-
spected and esteemed in the south
and this demonstration of the old
veterans is a natural affection that
has always been in their hearts. The
idea of pensioning eX-slaves recalls
little incident that occurred In con-
greSs a few years ago when the late
Mark Hanna, thinking he would
make a deep cut for the south. ad-
vocated the pensioning of ex-sldves
by the government. But he wasn't
long finding out that the south was
almost a unit in endorsing the move
ment.

years before the French academy of
sciences had recognized the work of
the Curies by awarding M. Curie the
La Gaze prize of 10000 francs and COM
mending his wife for her part in the

couple received the Nobel prize for
chemistry, and a few days later they
received $4,000 francs as part of the
