Selma S Biu Aerelite

All New York, especially that part
of it in the American Museum of Nat.
ural History is rejoicing over the
acquisition of the largest entire stone
meteroite ever found. As a rule meteor
ties are consumed or split into parts in
their terrific flight from Somewhere
through space and atmosphere air to
the earth, but the one just carried to
New York is sound and entire.
The meteor in question came to the
earth near Selma on July %, 1893. It
weighs SOC pounds, and is 211s inches
high by 90 inches wide and IA inches
thick. Pliny tells of one as big as a
wagon, and there are rumors of one in
Brazil that weighs 1900 pounds, but
the largest accessible aerolite today is
the one that fell near Selma and is
now deposited in the American mu-
scum in New York
Our aerolite crop will not, it is to be
hoped, become large one. especially
if it is to be made up of stones as big
as the one that fell near Selma. For
tunately, that stone did not fall on
Selma, or on any habitation what
soever. There is no record that any
one was ever hit by an aerolite, and
yet it is believed that thousands come
every year to the earth. each made
luminous by the friction Of our atmos-
pheric envelope as its last and crown
ing glory. The Selma stone-for that
is to be its popular name-will long
be one of the attractions of the Amer
lean museum.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
What Will Be Done?

The late Phillip Brooks expressed in
these illuminating words, the spirit of
the New Year:
What will God do this year? How
will lie come near to man? It may be,
oh, that it might be! that He will break
up this awful sluggishness of christendom.
this terrible torpidity of the Christian
church, and give US a great. true revival
of religion. It may be that lie will speak
some great imperious command to the
brutal and terrible spirit of war, and
will open the gate upon bright period OF
peace throughout the world
ut may be that He will draw back the
curtain and throw some of Ills light upon
the question of how the poor and the
rich may live together in more cordial
brotherhood. 1t may be that He will lead
up from the depths of their common faith'
a power of unity into the sects of di-
vided Christendom.
perhaps He will smite this selfishness
of fashionable life, and make it earnest.
Perhaps by some terrible catastrophe He
will teach the nation that corruption
Is ruin, ard that nothing but integrity
can make any nation strong. Perhaps
this! perhaps that We make our guesses,
and no man can truly say.
"only we know that with world that
needs so much, and with God who
knows it needs and who loves 1t and
pitles It SO tenderly, there must be in
the long year some approach of His life
to its life.%

Lesseninq Railway Speed.

The Southern railroad is not alone in
determining to put a check upon the
prevailing railway speed mania. The
Burlington, big system in the central
west and in the northwest. has also
placed speed limit upon each division
of its 5000 miles of track. 1t has put
speedometers in all its locomotive cabs,
and any record of speed beyond pre-
scribed limits will be punished. II is
believed that it has made sixty miles
an hour its new maximum of speed.
The Burlington is in excellent condi-
ton. 1t is well-built, well-equipped and
well-conducted. but it has decided that
speed beyond sixty miles an hour is
dangerous
There is scarcely firstclass road in
the country that does here and there
permit the speeding of trains up to
sixty miles an hour. The Burlington
and the Southern want no more of
such efforts, because passenger train
WEIGHING 500 tons running at even
sixty miles an hour cannot be brought
to a full stop under 5000 feet Air
brakes are an excellent device, but
they. too, have their limitations. The
Burlington holds that "the engineer
who can make the required time at
the lowest maximum rate of speed is
the man who excels as runner"
Safety, in other words, is to outrank
speed on the roads that are ready to
abandon the speed mania. On those
roads the traveller will not hereafter be
subjected to jerky starts or to emer-
gency applications of brakes when the
train is running at excessive speed
There will be not only higher degree
of safety, but more comfort on the
rails, and there should therefore be no
grumbling ON the part OF the impatient
passenger.

ThIrteen-Year-oId NEGRO Criminal.

Louisville, December 26.-Charles Rosen-
field. negro, aged 10 years, said to be
a Mississippi criminal, was arrested by
detectives here today. Rosenfield Is
charged with perpetrating thirtyfive rob-
berries and housebrealling in various parts
of Mississippi He was sent to prison at
Jackson last July to serve an indetermin-
ate sentence, and six days later made his
escape. Rosenfeld was recognized
through information to the Mississippi
authorities. The negro is said also to be
wanted on the charge of assaulting a
white woman Immediately after escaping
from prison. +The authorities at Jackson
fear that if the negro is taken back to
the scene of the crime there will be mob
violence, and it is probable that If he is
taken there the militia will be asked to
protect the negro.

A Sniritual Experiment.

"That was a fine phrase used by Pres
ident Alderman, of the University OF VIZ
ginia, at the New England society din
ner. SAYS the Wall Street Journal. lie
was describing the character and ambi-
ton of the American people, and he de-
clared that this country was a spiritual
experiment.
'"rhat is putting it upon a high plane.
But IS 1t put too high?
"The progress of the United States
has been 80 gigantic and marvellous In
wealth and power that we in this genera
ton. in enjoyment of the fruits of this
stupendous progress, have been in dan
ger of forgetting It's spiritual significance.
"Other countries have been born and
have. risen to power and glory, but the
United States is working out the sublime
experiment of attaining power without
sacrifice of liberty, of achieving wealth
without degradation, of giving freedom
to speech and press without peril TO the
social order of separating church and
state without destroying religion, of open
ing our doors to immigrants from all the
world and yet assimilating all races into
an American type in harmony with the
ideals of our civilization, of creating
strong central nation without sacrifice of
democracy. of giving continental oppor-
tunity to financial power without the I'M
pairment of justice or the enthronemenu
of corruption.
1--WE have been In danger of forgetting
the Significance of our national mission
and the ideals of our founders but let us
be thankful that we have not forgotten
them altogether Our spiritual expert
ment' has indeed made notable progress
during 1906 We have climed to loftier
ethical heights in the conduct Of business.
We have raised high the standard of pub
licity. We have advanced the principle
of the sacred trusteeship of wealth. We
have applied the principle Of the square
deal to the business of transportation. We
have overthrow more than one powerful
special privilege and time-honored abuse.
1--WE may therefore this Christmas day
feel that we, like our fathers, are max
ing our contributions to the success of
that spiritual experiment. officially
known as the United States Of Amer
lea E"

Revision of the Tariff.

When Senator Cullom urged the call
ing of a special session of Congress in
March next for the purpose of revising
the tariff, the friends of just taxation
began to be hopeful. They may as well
abandon that state of feeling so far as
the tariff is concerned. for the leaders
at Washington, led by Nelson w. Aid
rich, have decided that no special ses-
sion shall be called next year, and that
no revision shall be undertaken. until
after the next presidential election in
1908. This means, if 1t means anything
at all, that revision shall be attempted
in a special session to meet in March,
1909.
It really means that the standpatters
of the Nelse Aldrich sort have out
witted the revisionists from the Cen
trail West and have secured the accept
ance of programme that gives Ding
leyism two more unchecked years in
which to rob the many in order to make
more millionaires and to swell the for
tunes of its leading benefciaries.
The postponement of action to March,
1909, simply means that the standpat-
ters are in the saddle in the republican
party. and no revision will be attempt
ed at all il by hook or crook it can be
avoided. The refusal to revise the
tariff i'll accordance with the dictates
of common decency and common hon
esty means that the beneflciaries of the
tariff scheme have promised to put up
a slush fund large enough to buy the
next presidential election
The purchase of the election in 1908,
and a continuous scheme of robbery
afterwards to recoup all campaign eX-
penses, is the real programme that Is
offered to the plain people of this coun-
try by the standpatters Of today. The
entire issue goes over therefore to the
presidential election OF 1908, and the
many will have an opportunity to ex-
press their feelings and convictions on
the delays and evident intentions of
the standpatters.

every taxpayer claim as a right resulting
from the payment of taxes? Representa-

tation; he has no voice in anything; even
his landlady gives little attention to his
modest requests in regard to his apart
ments. and laundries take especial de-
light in tearing up his shirts. frazzing
his collars and cuffs and mixing up his
socks with other peoples.
II tell you my friend, its no economy
to be a bachelor; the state has nothing
to recommend 1t except the knowledge of
the freedom which a man has to go and
come at all hours without being ques-
toned, and that liberty to go where he
likes generally results in his going to the

Forgery Charge Against Rhinehart.

Pittsburg, December 26.-An addi
tional charge of forgery was today pre-
ferred against J. F. B. Rhinehart, for
mer cashier of the Farmers and Dro-
vers National bank of Waynesburg.
Rhinehart waived a hearing and gave
bail for his appearance at the February
term of the criminal court. The in
formation was made today by Presi-
dent Reed of the First National bank
of Reedville, Pa. He charges Rhine
hart with forging the name of County
Recorder Tilton of Waynesburg to a
note of $4,000. Almost Immediately
following, j. Miller, J. A. Goodwin and
John Strosnyder, local contractors,
stated that they would Immediately
prefer charges against the former
bank cashier, alleging that he had
raised note given by them for $500
to $4,000.

1851 BIDS FOR LAND.
$4,000 Acres of Pasture and Wood Re-
serve In Oklahoma.

Washington, December 26.-Offcials in
the general land office are preparing
to tabulate the bids which have been re-
eeived for the sale of about 505,0o acres
of pasture and wood reserve lands in
Kiowa and Commanehe counties, Okla
homa. Between the Sd and 18th of this
month the officials of the land office re-
ceived 1851 individual bids, and it is es-
timated that each bidder has bid on an
average of thirty tracts, some of the bid
ders, 1t is understood, having been on
every one of the tracts, 2531 in number.
On its face this seems a very simple
proposition. but 1t will necessitate the
making and indexing of nearly 25000O
cards, and it is expected to tabuate this
tremendous list will take quite all of
three months before the highest bidder
on all the tracts can be determined.

immigration and the Convention.

The Southern Cotton association,
which is to meet in this city on jan
uary II, will have before it Secretary
Straus' decision in the South Carolina
case, and Governor Hayward of that
state will perhaps be here to explain
its meaning and bearings. 1t is far
reaching and important, and it is for
tunate indeed that the convention
which is to consider the labor problem
of the south will know what each
southern state can accomplish in the
direction of securing immigrants
The convention will know what 1t
should urge each legislature in cotton
growing states to do. Let us all hope
Governor Hayward will be able to at
tend the convention, for what South
Carolina has done the other states can
do, and they will naturally desire to
get all possible information at first
hands.
Briefly speaking. Secretary Straus
holds that a state is not bound by the
United States law forbidding the i'm
portation of laborers hired abroad. He
further holds that contributions Of in
