Many Great Centers Of Population
Have Been Thus Designated.


Oliver Ninmann. an enthusiastic re
ligious preacher, has been telling how
Berlin is the wickedest city in the
world. The information will be re
ceived with surprise doubtless by all
of the inhabitants of the German cap
ital and with indignation by most of
them.
The "wickedest city" however, has
been named by different cities at diff
ferent times, and probably no two of
the critics agreed on the same city,
New York. Chicago. London. Paris
and others have been described each
in its turn as "the wickedest city"
Once when a travelling Briton told
lady "f New York society that he
had found American manners afro
cious, the lady merely lifted her eye
brows in sympathetic surprise and
assured the gentleman that he must
have had rather unfortunate letters
OF introduction.
q In like spirit. anybody can find the
"wickedest city" by acquainting him
self only.with its wicked features and
by ignoring the fact that the great
modern municipality in every case is
huge. center of all kinds of the most
beneticent influences and activities.

Charles Hands of the London Daily
Mail came TO Washington TO report
the white house wedding and at once
established himself as good mix
er" and story teller. One of his yarns
is about an Irishman named James
O'Mahoney. who had been lawyer
in Dublin, who went TO London and
became a newspaper man. After
winning success in his new profes
sion he went on visit TO Dublin,
where his friends gave him a dinner
One of the guests at the dinner was

The doctor made speech at the

MEMBERSHIP? OF RUSSIAN DUMA
Only % Out of 400 Will Come From
the Cities.

The 400 members of the Russian
imperial Duma must have certain
property qualifications. They must be
able to speak Russian and they must
take the cath of allegiance, on elec-
ton. They will draw s. day during
the session of the Duma, and mileage
at the rate of two and a half cents a
mile to and from the capital. AS first
designed these members were to be
elected in rather a roundabout way
Groups Of electors were first to be
chosen from three great classes Of
Russian society: the landowners. The
village communities and the munich
palities. The first extension Of this
scheme further admitted large NUM-
bers of the artisan class. the latest
developments will, it seems. admit cv-

Forces That Make for Good.

grand because it contemplates the

on mate1ialism, is really inspired by
the forces which make for peace, for
commerce, for communication and for

Though Frederick VIII, the new
king of Denmark, is 62 years old, he
bears his years lightly. He has en-
phatically led the simple life and
there is no other royal ruler living
