La Prensa is the greatest and most
Influential paper In South America. Its
offices are In Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
situated In a magnificent building in
the Ayenida. This building Is said to
be one Of the most imposing In the
world. 1t has a tower crowned by a
great golden statue Of young woman
representing the Spirit Of the Press.
The proudest possession Of La Prensa
Is a 5000 horsepower steam operated
siren. Whenever there Is an appalling
tlisaster-the death Of a crowned head
OF other event Of worldwide interest,"
whoop goes La Prensa's siren and Is
heard for while throughout the city.
The local government exacts fine for
this performance, $500 per minute,
with a minimum Of 5000, and if the
fine Is not paid on the nail the charge
Is double, so when one man is sent to
operate the 5creecher another Is sent
running with two hundred dollar bill
to the courts. The next operation Is to
drape the above referred to young
woman's torch with red velvet in case
of a catastrophe; with Grape in the
event Of death. All this causes the
most extraordinary sensation.

The Capture Of JEFFERSON Davis.

How Mrs. Davis prevented her hus-
band from escaping in his flight after
the fall of the Confederacy is told in
Mrs. Avary's book, Dixie After the
War;" After leaving Washington,
Ga, Mr.. Davis had heard that maraud-
ers were in pursuit Of his wife's
cortege, and, turning out of his course,
he rode hard across country, found his
family, conveyed them beyond the
present danger, as he thought. and
was about to renew his journey
south. The party camped, when he
was reused at dawn by his negro serv-
ant, who said troops were coming.
Mrs. Davis begged her husband to
leave. His horses and weapons We're
near the road down which the cavalry
was coming. In the darkness Of the
tent he caught up what he took to be
his raglan, a sleeveless waterproof
garment. 1t was hers. She then
threw a shawl over his head. He
went out Of the tent, she keeping near.
"Haltv' cried a trooper, leveling a
carbine at him. Mr.. Davis dropped
his wraps and hurried forward. Mrs.
Davis saw the carbine, cast her arms
about her husband and lost him his
one chance of escape, for he might
have slipped away in the dark.

TAKE THE P. o. OUT OF POLITICS.

=
Postmaster General Cortelyou
has called attention to needed
reform when he asserts in his
annual report that the postofice
department should be taken out
of politics and placed on a bust
ness basis. Says the secretary:
Nearly two years of admins
tration confirms me in the opinion
that the postmasters of the coun-
try should be appointed by no
party primarily as rewards for
political activity, but primarily
on the basis of fitness for the
work and regard for the wishes
of the communities they serve.

that it seems strange that this
substituting business for poll
tics" was not seriously considered
long ago. Probably men have
thought of it before, but have
looked upon it as impossible of
accomplishment.
When one stops to think of it,
the objections of our present
system of doing out fat post
office jobs as rewards for politi-
cal activity in behalf of 'tour con-
gresham" are insuperable.
The civil service should be ex-
tended so as to include post
masters and assistant post

GOOD USE OF PRIZE MONEY.

Fully as notable as the award
ing of the $4,000 Nobel peace
prize to President Roosevelt, in
recognition of his services in
bringing about the Portsmouth
Peace, which ended the Russo
Japanese war, is the disposition
the president is to make of the
money. .-.-. :.
President Roosevelt might
very we'll have added it to his
private fortune and no one could
have criticised his action; but in
stead of that, he has determined
to establish with it a fund for a
permanent Industrial peace com.
mittee, with headquarters at
Washington. In his letter of &C.
ceptance to the Norwegian parlia-
ment, which awarded the prize,
President Roosevelt says in part:
After much thought I have
concluded that the best and most
fitting way to apply the amount
of the prize is by using it as a
fund to establish at Washington
a permanent industrial peace
committee. The object will be
to strive for better and more
equitable relations among my
countrymen who are engaged,
whether as capitalists or wage.
workers, in industrial and agri.
cultural pursuits. This will
carry out the purpose OF the
founder of the prize, for in
modern life it is important to
work for the cause of just and
righteous peace IN the Industrial
world as in the world of nations.
