general satisfaction. The work these

general practice in non-gOvern-

Church PeWS and Pie Pans.

A great pother,will be made in the
newspapers of the proceedings just
instituted in Chicago against the
church pew trust. We may conf
IDENTIFY expect the perfdy of manu-
facturers VINO would organize a
monopoly TO levy on the religious
bodies of the nation to be exploited
with fine rhetoric.
Yet that trust is not in the least
degree worse than any other trust,
or in principle materially different
from any other. Whether it be tin
pie pans for our kitchens, or baking
powder for our biscuits, or olive oil
for our salads, or sugar for our cof-
fee, or steel rails for our railroads,
or pews for our churches, the base
of all trust operations is the same
a combination TO increase profits,
independent Of the supply and the
demand, and 10 make the consumer
pay that profit whether he likes it
or not. In the matter of church
pews we pay the assessment indi-
rectly, in pie pans directly-that is
the only difference.

INCREASES
IT'S PENSION FUND
Retired Employees viii Re-

Instead of $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA. March Having
granted a 10 per cent increase in wages
TO its active employees, the Pennsylvania
railroad has just gone a step further
and raised the annual appropriation OF
its pension fund for retired employees by
So per Cent-from S3gOOll 10 S5OO.OO0 a
year. This announcement IS contained
in the annual report just completed by
the pension department OF the railroad.
According TO this report nearly half
a million dollars in pension allowances
was paic by the Pennsylvania railroad
to its ret red members in 1906 The exact
amount, S457. 6l447, is the largest sum yet
paid in any one year. and exceeds that
of 1906 by nearly $4,000
There are now 1870 men on the pension
rolls OF the company. In January. 1906.

The Real Glory.

Later developments in the semi
enforced resignation of Chief Engi-
neer Stevens, of the Panama Canal
Commission, would tend TO show
that the gentleman's troubles arose
over piqUe NJ what he considered
the probable selection of the w. J.
Oliver aggregation as the builders
of the big ditch. 1t seems that Mr.
Oliver had been heard to assert that
he was proud of the opportunity to
hand his name down to fame as the
digger of the canal, and that this so
vexed Mr.. Stevens that he wrote
long letters of protest to the Presi-
dent, sending his conditional resig-
nation if the Oliver firm were per-
mitted to get the contract.
The people of this country care
nothing for the personal disputes
and attempts at ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
any single man, be he Wallace,
Shonts, Stevens, Oliver, or another.
The glory of building the canal be-
longs not to any individual or little
aggregation of individuals. 1t be-
longs not to Congress, and it be-
longs not TO the President. It be-
longs to the sovereign people of
these United States, who, through
their representatives in Congress,
have ordered the great work done
and who have themselves furnished
the money with which to do it.
A familiar saying which dates not
further back than the Spanish war
is, "There is glory enough to go
round" In this case, there is not
glory enough to go round, except
that it encircles and covers the en-
tire American nation. Little SQUAD
bles of engineers or chairmen or
contractors are and viii be of no
importance when the great work
which this people has ordered shall
be accomplished.

A Short Route to Europe.

The rich and magnificent island of
Newfoundland lies on the direct
route from New York TO the British
ports, and is more than one-third
of the distance from New York to
Ireland. For many generations it
was an ill-appreciated region, but
latterly the administration headed
by Premier Bond has been exploit
ing diligently its possibilities. Rail-
roads have been encouraged and
built. and the island, one of the
greatest in the world, is entering on
an era of wonderful development.
Now it is proposed TO make its east
ern port, st. Johns, one of the
worlds great commercial centers,
and the project is full of promise.
The proposition IS to bore a tun-
mel under the strait of Belle Isle,
which separates the island from the
mainland; to connect through this
bore the islands railroad system
with that of Canada; TO run through
fast trains from the continent to
St. Johns, and there to connect
with a steamship line to British
points. 1t is claimed by the pro
moters of the syndicate which is
getting the necessary concessions,
that the project is entirely feasible,
( and that it viii effect a saving of
thirty-two hours in travel from sea
ports of Canada and the eastern
coast of the United States to those
of Britain and northern Europe.
There are also important claims for
the economy of the proposed route.
The Bond administration has
taken a prompt interest in the plan,
and apparently there is an excellent
prospect that the project viii be
pressed. 1t would amount to an
nexing to the American continent n
great promOEtory extending over
one-third of the distance, by the
! established routes, to Europe. II
would place Newfoundland in Z
new relation tc trade and transpor,
tation routes of the world, and
would constitute one of the most
interesting and picturesque develop
ments of twentieth century com.

Dress Reform.

VIII the men of a few years hence
be forced to return TO the gaudy
costumes of the Middle Ages? There
seems 10 be every reason for asking
this question which, a few years
ago, would have been scoffed at by
everyone. Not long ago there was
much talk Of dress reform for men.
From this grew an attempt to inter-
est us in a plan to adopt outright
the romantic garb of the days of the
slashed doublet, silken hose, and
plumed GainsbOro hat. This, of
course, was merely laughed at, but
those who took up the matter of
dress reform were undaunted, and
planned, it appears, to bring it
about by degrees.
The degrees were at first mild,
such as pearl gray waistcoats for
evening dress; then came entire
evening dress suits of gray, until to-
day the edict has gone forth from
England that quite the proper thing
for summer wear will be deer
purple. There may be some who
viii wear it; probably a number.
There are many who would wear a
combination of violet, red, end
orange if it were in vogue, but as to
a dress reform that will lead us back
to the Middle Ages-never. The
workingmen, who are the majority.
are far too intelligent to stand for
it. In the olden days the peasantry
wore their brown frocks, all the
world like a night shirt, and their
leather garments, and appeared
from childhood to the grave in the
same dull monotones which stamped
them of low degree.
Today the foolish rich, including
those who live only for show, may
attempt to adopt the old style of
dress, but the great number OF
men, the laborers, the business men,

buildings are used by the billposters
for their own profit, and without
one cent OF revenue to the city.
Billposters receive thousands of dol
lars every year from this use of
boards on city property; the tax
payers receive nothing.
In Berlin billboards are pro-
hibited. Public advertising is re-
strfcted to neat pillars on the edges
of sidewalks at the principal street
corners. The columns are twelve
feet high and two feet in diameter.
The advertising surface of each is
between eleven and twelve square
meters. In April, 1904, Berlin ad-
vertised for proposals for the privi-
lege of using those advertising col
umns exclusively for ten years, and
the successful bidders are paying an
annual rental of 100000 marks,
which is equivalent to $4,000.
The city uses the interior of those
columns for storing utensils for
street cleaning. sand for the streets.
and supplies and material for street
railway and electric lighting use.
All placards must be approved by
the authorities, and rights are re-
served for the free posting Of pub
he notices.
Compare the method employed in
Berlin with that in most American
municipalities. In the former the
rental for ten years yields TO the
taxpayers a revenue of almost one
million dollars. Here there is
usually no system, no restriction.

the streets, without n cent of profit

DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Young Musician at His Best
in Interpretation Of
Chopin.

The piano recital Of Felix Garziglia.
of the faculty Of the Washington Col
lege of Music. given in the Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon, attract
ed a large audience. The young artist
has made an excellent reputation for
himself in the few months he has been
here His program was an interesting
one. in that there were fewer hack
neyed numbers than have been heard
on recital programs this season. Par
ticularly was this so in the Chopin
group. He opened with the "Faschings-
schwank aus Wien" Of Shumann. When
he is older and more matured. Schu-
mann win suit him better. The Chopin
group was delightful and was as fol-
lows: Etude c Sharp Min, Ballade F.
Mai, Nocturne F Sharp Mai. and
Scherzo 3 Min.
Mr.. GarZiglia can play Chopin, par
ticularly the etudes. ballades. nocturnes
and waltzes. The nocturne he played
yesterday was exquisite in the deli
cacy with which it was handled. His
wrist and finger work was most skill
full and artistic. The scherzo aroused
the utmost enthusiasm. and he well
deserved this. He was recalled many
times. and finally played a little mum
Der. Sparks. by MOszkOwski, and
this but gave an added appetite for
more. and he graciously responded with
scherZo by Mend2lssohn.
His last two numbers were Moszkow-
skis Tarantelle which was among his
very best numbers. the closing work
being the List Rhapsody No. 8. which
is seldom heard. He did much brilliant
work in both of these numbers. and
was recalled many times at the end OF
the program.
The fourteenth and last Of this series
OF concerts will take place in the New
National Theater on next Friday after.
noon at 4:30 o'clock The entire pro-
gram will be given by Mime. Schumanr-
