able thirst for knowledge, rather than
a pursuit of truth. But what is knowl-
edge if not the possession of truth
with the positive certainty that we do
possess it. Doubt and uncertainty
are not knowledge. Fleeing views
and opinions are not knowledge.
Dreams are not knowledge. Knowl-
edge means thought and ideas of which
the intellect has taken a positive hold.
Still it means more. To mention some
common errors of our own time, for
instance, is it knowledge when man
maintains for himself a freer and
wider standard of virtue, faithfulness
and purity than for woman? Is it
knowledge when woman, mistal1ing
her own noble mission, thinks herself
in everything equal to man, and called
by the Creator to perform the same
work in society as man? I might null
tiply examples simply to show that
not all thoughts are knowledge in the
true sense of the term, but only those
which are the mental expression of
truth. Our mind is made for truth
alone; falsehood and error are as poi
son to it, All pursuit of knowledge
must of necessity be the pursuit of
truth. This must be the work of the
university, teachers as we'll as stu
dents, if it is to realize the hopes OF
it's founders and the expectations of
the people; if it is to become a cen
ter of true civilization and progress,
the inscription on it's portals must be
the pursuit of truth

lIliteracy in the United States.

According to the census use OF the
term an illiterate is a person not
under ten years of age who Is unable
to write either in English or in any
other language. In most cases the
illiterate is also unable to read. AZ
the census of 1900 the number of illit-
crates enumerated in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii,
and all other outlying territory, was
6,180069. This was approximately
ane-tenth of the population at least
ten years of age, the exact mathemat!-
cal proportion being 1866 illiterates to
1000 population. Of the native white
population, the proportion of illiteracy
is aga per 900. CT less than one in
twenty. There is ground for salts
faction and encouragement in the sta
tistical evidence that illiteracy is
steadily being reduced. In 1890 the
number of illiterates per 1000 was
1884 f1r the total population, 62.3 fOr
the native white population, 1906 for
the foreign-bOrn white, and 5676 for
Negroes, including Indians and Mon
gOlians In most European cOun-
tries illiteracy is more prevalent than
in the United States, although this
country is still far behind Germany,

REPORT OF EXAMINATION OF
NEW YORK LIFE.
FUNDS IMPROPERLY SPENT
Diverted for ExtraVagant Purposes
and Political Ends-Deferred DiVi-
Elimination Recommended by Leg
isIative Enactment.

The report of the joint examination
of the New York Life insurance com
pany by the insurance commissioners
of Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Nebraska and Minnesota, carried on in
charge of S. H. Wolfe, and William j
Graham as examiners in charge, has
been completed and Commissioner
Host yesterday made an announce
ment of it's results. The examination
has been in progress since September
%, 1905. The report announces the
absolute solvency of the company
showing it to be possessed of large
surplus of special reserve. The eX-
animation, however, shows that large
eXtravagances have beer INDUCED in,
that accounts have been inaccurately
kept and misleading statements made
to supervising officers, that funds have
been improperly diverted for political
and other unwarranted purposes, and
that while some restitution of this
money has been made proper steps
should be taken at once to get more
of it back.
The assets are placed at S435, $780,
35993, the surplus at $52,835, 626.82.
The cost of insurance in the company
is charged to be excessive, that the
management has erred in it's great
desire to secure a vast volume of
business, and that reforms are urgent
ly needed.
The committee heartily recommends
the elimination of the deferred divi-
dend policy, or as the next best thing.
laws that will require annual account
ing on each particular policy. The
committee speaks for economy and
publicity in the management, and in
creased power by the policyholders.

100000 CONDENSATION

For three hours Immediately after mid
night Wednesday the business section of
Johrstown, Pa, was threatened with de-
struction by fire, which was only con-
trolled after it had burned itself practi-
caily out, caused a loss estimated at
SSOO.0OO and the death of one fireman,
William Campbell, who was caught under
falling wall. Campbell's body was TAX
en- from beneath a pile of brick and NOR
tar later by the fremen. The fire started
in the fve-story brick building at the cor
ner OF Main and Bedford streets occupied
by the Swank Hardware Company, deal
ers in paints, oils and hardware. The
flames quickly spread through the building
and general alarm was sent in. Every
available fireman and every piece of fire.
lighting apparatus was soon on the scene,
but despite the fremen's efforts the fire
was soon beyond control. Firemen were
seriously handicapped by inadequate
equipment and constantly bursting hose
and for time it was thought aid would
have to be summoned from Altoona. This
was not necessary, however. JOhnstown
was practically wiped out by food May
81, 1889. More than 1000 persons lost
their lives and millions of dollars worth
OF property was destroyed. The great
dam in the Conemaugh valley, which rose
400 feet above the houses, broke without
warning and in a few minutes there was
scarcely trace of the prosperous COM
munity left. Mineral Point, Conemaugh
and Woodville, smaller towns lying be-
tween the dam and Johnstown, were de-
stroyed and it is estimated that of the
total population fully % per cent was

er, in addition to navigation purposes,
through the Erie and the Welland canals.
The effect of this withdrawal of water is
to injure both the American and the
Horseshoe falls in nearly equal proper
tions. While the injury will be percep-
tible, it may not be destructive or disas-
trous.
IF the falls are to be preserved it must
be by mutual agreement between the two
countries. AS a step in that direction we
recommend that legislation be enacted
which shall contain the following pro-
visions, viz:
THE Secretary of War to be authorized
to grant permits for the diversion of 2S,-
500 cubic feet per second, and no more,
from the waters naturally tributary to
Niagara falls. distributed as follows: Nj
agara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manu-
featuring Company, $500; Niagara Falls
Power Company, $500; Erie canal or its
tenants Tin addition to lock service)
400; Chicago drainage canal 10000.
Suitable penalties for violation of the law
to be prescribed.
The foregoing prohibition to remain
in force two years and then TO become the
permanent law of the land, if in the
meantime the Canadian government shall
have enacted legislation prohibiting the
diversion of water which is naturally trib-
utary to Niagara falls, in excess Of &c.

the amounts required for domestic use or
for the service of locks in navigation

understanding upon the subject would be
reached by treaty.
The object of such legislation would
be to put a stop to the further depletion
of the falls, and at the same time inf1ict
the least possible injury upon the impor-
tant interests now dependent upon this
water power.

agreement in the statement of facts and
such differences as developed with respect
to the recommendations which ought TO
