At this time of year one OF the most prac-
teal and liberal of our charities makes appeal

synagogues and churches on the last Saturday
and Sunday of the year, but in thoroughly
busnessike way, it also provides for the re-
ceipt Of contributions through other channels
that non-churchgOers may aid it's work and
IN the words OF its own address, christian,

common end of helping afflicted humanity"
The receipts appOrtoned among the forty
Associated Hospitals of this city-which cover
every branch of the healing art-on the basis
OF the free work performed by them for the

Nothing more than a reminder of this excel

inspire the public to generous contributions TO
the collections of today and tomorrow. The

the total contributions amount TO S105.000 they

JAPANESE SALARIES.
From The Boston Transcript

AOiI 4HS bOStOh transcript
Translated into American monetary eouiyaIents
the commanding general of the Japanese army
when serving with the colors. receives salary OF
81, $40 and commission for extraordinary expenses
Of an equal amount This brings his pay up to
5000 year. In the same way lieutenant gem
eral receives g. 200, major general A575 a colonel
A,176 major S6l2 and captain $40.
The salary given TO officers in the navy corre-
spends closely 10 that paid TO those serving in
the army. Admiral Togos salary is 5000 year
ce-admtrals are paid 5000 admirals 81 $50
and captains 81 248 The pay of the junior lieu
tenants Is $500 and that of the midshipInen S222
On this basis of expenditure it is apparent that
in Japan the outgo which a war Involves comes
much more in the cost of the materials than In

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP RESULTS.

From The st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A vague assertion drifts about that public owner
ship In Australia is remarkable success. The
official figures give different Impression. One of
the most prosperous colonies Of the Australian
Commonwealth is New South Wales. The latest
report of its publicly owned railroads is for tue
year ended june 90 last In the year 1905 the deficit
earnings of Sl8.Oo0.0o0 $4,000. Last year
there was a surplus OF nearly 100000 but the
charges for freight 2.2S cents mile, or nearly
three times the average In the United States which
Is less than cent a mile. An increase OF 200 per
cent in freight charges would not be popular IN
this country. The difference must have escaped
the notice OF those who commend shs Australian
