The Making of Man.

Before the beginning of years
 There came to the making of man Time, with a gift of tears;
 Grief, with d glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
 Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance fallen from heaven And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for breath; Night. the shadow of light,
 And life the shadow of death And the high gods took In hand
 Fire, and the falling of tears, And a measure of sliding sand
 From under the feet of the years; And froth and drift of the sea-
 And dust of the laboring earth; And bodies of things to be
 In the houses of death and birth, And wrought with weeping and laugh
 ter,
 And fashioned with loathing and love With life before and after.
 And death beneath and above, For a day, and a night, and morrow That his strength might endure for a
 span, 4 With travail and heavy sorrow,
 The holy spirit Of man, From tho winds of tho north and the
 south,
 They gathered as unto strife; They breathed upon his mouth,
 They filled his body with life; Eyesight and speech they wrought
 For the wells of the soul therein, A time for labor and thought,
 time to serve and to sin; They gave him light in hls ways,
 And love, and space for delight, And beauty, and length Of days,
 And night, and sleep In the night. His speech Is a burning fire.
 With his lips he trayalleth; In his heart Is a blank desire, In his eyes foreknowledge of death; He weaves, and Is clothed with de. rlslon: Sows, and he shall not reap; | Ills life is a watch or vision
 Between sleep and sleep, --Algernon Charles Swinburne.

BIGGER THAN wE rHoUe HIT.

In these days of growth 1t is not at all surprising to read that the United States is even bigger than it has been said and supposed to be. It is author itatively announced that, subject to further change, the area of the United States of America, including it's posses sicns, is S,O26,7S9 square miles. The de- termination of this matter is not so simple as the average school boy might suppose. The census bureau figured it some eleven hundred square miles less than these figures at It's last reckoning, and 1t required the cooperation of the Land Office and the Geological Survey to set the figures right. The smallest bit of territory is Samoa, which em- braces only seventy-seven square miles. The recently added Panama Canal strip contains 474 square miles.
 Perhaps we shall not grow much more in size soon, and some are still hoping that we shall be able to get rid of the Philippines at markdown sale But we shall continue to grow in importance and riches until the man who can say he is citizen of the United States needn't fear to look even waiter or a Pullman car porter in the face.

4 CONDITION VERSUS 4 THEORY


 The municipal ownership of public utilities isn't the thrilling issue in this State that some expected it would be, but it is mildly and locally interesting. It is perhaps worth notice that the De- tober Municipal Ownership Monthly bulletin remarks that during the past few years at least sixty cities and towns in the United States have sold, leased or abandoned their lighting plants. In few cases they still retain their distributing system, buying the current from some company, but in most instances they have gone out of the business entirely. number of other places have made unsuccessful eff forts to dispose of their plants.
 As with few exceptions municipal lighting plants have been in operation but short time, this is a remarkable showing of failure and is not encourag- ing to those who want to see municipal ownership extended The Democrats of Connecticut were crafty when they de- clared for focal option" in municipal ownership. That leaves plenty of room for talk.

The subject of the best propelling power for war vessels is occupying the serious attention of the leading naval powers England has come out in favor of the steam turbine as the result of careful consideration of the matter, and it is urged that the turbine has the ad- vantage of a saving in weight and re- auction in number of working parts and liability to breakdown, in smooth work ing, ease of manipulation saving in coal consumption at high powers, and hence boiler room space, and in saving in engine room complement, and also because of increased protection which Is provided for with this system, due to the engines being lower in the ships. The disadvantages seemed to be in the stopping and turning power which would be necessary for quick manouvr- Ing. The French Ministry of Marine. after Investigating the tests being made
 In England, decided to adopt the tur- bine, and the first of such engines will be installed in three new batueships soon to be built by that government.

A pocket telephone for police purposes is the latest. It Is to be seen in daily practical working in Vienna, and per- haps in Vienna alone of the great cities of the world. In the Austrian capital, however, the system is universal, and every police officer on duty is provided with the necessary appliances. In every street of importance in the city special call boxes have been placed, and every officer on duty having occasion to com municate with his station has only to pull out his pocket apparatus, adjust 1t 10 the wire in the box, and communica- tion at once Is established. As a meth cd of summoning aid In all but petty cases the system seems to have many advantages over the whistle

The Washington Post, taking Senator Stone of Missouri to task for declaring that the last three presidential elections were bought by the Republican party managers, declares: Unquestionably there has been too much money ex- pended In campaigns, and good deal of 1t has come from improper sources. But 1t is going much too far to say that the electorate has been corrupted and the presidency bought For dozen years prior to 1904 every successive leg 1slature in the State of Missouri was notoriously corrupt. This is history. But 1t is one thing to buy up State Legislature and quite another to bribe the American electorate. And Senator Stones party never has been, and never will be profited by thus arraigning the voters of the United States.

The origin of the red tie used by the employees of the London and South western railroad lay in the idea that in case of emergency it could be pulled off and waved as a danger signal, and, as matter of fact, it has often been used in this way, notably at seaton Junction, when an express train was saved from destruction by railroad man, who thus warned the driver of peril ahead.

Accidentally Killed.

| A sad tragedy occurred Saturday after
noon about a. Is o'clock, on the little farm
of Howard Frake, on the South Pember-
about IS years old, was shot aud instantly
killed
During the afternoon Charles and
Robert Frake went out in the lot adioin-
ing their home, each having a gun, the
object being to shoot crows as they
passed overhead. With them was James
Shinn, son of Daniel Shinn, of Hulme
street, and the boys succeeded in killing
one bird To make the sport more in
teresting they threw up tin cans and other
articles and shot at them
When it came to Shinn's turn he
borrowed Charles Frake's gun. With the
weapon under his arm Shinn turned
around to shoot. being about ten feet from
his victim, who stood with his hands in
his pockets. In some manner the gun
went off. The entire load of shot entered
Frake's left eye, passing down through
his head and into his throat The un-
fortunate lad dropped dead instantly.
Realizing what had happened Shinn
sank to the ground in a faint. The alarm
was given and both boys lay PROSTATE on
the ground until the arrival of Andrew
Moen. The latter and Robert Frake car
ried Shinn into the house where he soon
revived.
When Constable Throckmorton reached
the premises he searched the body, and
found that in his right hand Frake was
grasping roll of bills amounting to $24.
The body was not removed until the arr
val of Coroner Deworth, and then it was
conveyed to the morgue of H. Fl. Earnest.
Shinn was placed under arrest and he was
taken to Jail by Constable Gaskill.
The only eye witness to the tragedy was
Robert Frake, and to him the Coroner put
many questions, the answers to which
clearly indicated that the shooting was
purely an accident. This was corroborat
ed by statements from Shinn, who cannot
tell what caused the gun to go off.
A further Investigation was made yes
terday by the Coroner, who found no ne
cessity for holding an inquest, and Shinn
was discharged from Jail.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 2 o'clock. The remains will be
inferred in the Brotherhood cemetery.
