LINCOLN DAY.

The interest in and observance of
 Lincoln Day are plainly growing. In
 many churches in New York and in
 other parts of the country yesterday
 services were held in honor of the day.
 and there were many other meetings
 with the same object. Lincoln is, we
 think, already the greatest figure in the
 history of this country, and he may grow greater in the minds of men rath-
 CT than less. The Christian Register puts the situation finely and accurate fly, as follows: As one sails away from
 Cologne on the Rhine steamer he at
 first sees only warehouses and other commonplace buildings, but soon above these low roofs appear the spires of the cathedral. AS the traveller goes on his way up the river gradually the city, with all it's roofs and spires, sinks out of sight, and then, standing alone in its majestic proportions, the stately ea- thedral holds the eye and dominates the landscape. So Lincoln, surrounded
 by men who in his day were called
 great, and were great, according to our ordinary standards, rises continually in the estimation of the world, the one heroic figure from which it takes away no heroic trait. Many who stood high- CT than he in the estimate of multitudes of American citizens are standing still on the level where time and history left them, while Lincoln, all his defects for
 gotten, escapes from history, and be- comes a person Of mythical grandeur, a new type 1f humanity. Of uim Secre- tary stanton said, as ne stood by his

The Coast of Bohemia.

There not alone the great and lofty
 sing; But silent poets too find there the song They only sang in dreams when wan
 dering Amazed and lost amid the earthly
 throng; Their hearts unfettered ali from world
 ly fears, Attuned to meet the spacious music of
 the spheres. Gray, wrinkled men, with sea-salt in
 their hair, Their eyes set deep with peering
 through the gloom, Their voices low with speaking eVer'
 where The surges break beneath the noun tains' loom; But deep within their yearning, burn
 ing eyes The light reflected ever from those ra-
 diant skies. There, fadeless youth, unknowing of
 annoy, Walks aye with changeless Love; and
 Sorrow there Is but a memory to hollow Joy, With chastened Happiness so deep and rare. Well-nigh the Heart aches with it's rich content, And Hope with full truition evermore is blent. Thomas Nelson Page.

EDISoN'S NEW PROGRAMME

Thomas A. Edison was sixty years old Monday, but he is not willing to be chloroformed yet. He has done much, and tle is going on to do, as if there were no death in his exceedingly lively world. But he is going to stop being as "commercial'' as he has been, and is going to devote himself to scientific work. He has much work of that kind ready for himself. He began to fill notebooks about forty years ago with notes of curious things which he mad come across in his experiments. You know, he says. when a man is in a laboratory working on a problem he comes across all kinds of phenomena, and he can't take the time to trace these manifestations to their source, because that would interfere with the thing he was working at. He has got to put these things one side, for if he 1 is working on the commercial end of the business he must abandon the ideal, unless that will aid him in attaining the commercial goal. But these things always impressed me. l acquired the habit of putting them down when I first went to work, and I have always kept it up, thinking that some day might be able to satisfy my curiosity by working them out and seeing if there wasn't something big behind them"
 Edison must have a large stock of things to investigate, and if he has time allowed him the world may expect some important results from his later and riper work But after saying that he wasn't going to be commercial any more he says he has Q notion that he can do something to make the phono- graph records more distinct, getting rid of that tlarsh sound and getting better tone qualities. If he can a good many wont object to his being commercial to that extent.

4 REFORM PLAN FOR CHICAGO


 Chicago wants the newest and the best, and she thinks she needs new and improved charter. So, if the H. linois legislature accepts the charter drafted by a recent charter convention, Chicago will thereafter be governed by mayor and seventy aldermen, with no lower branch. All these officials, in recognition of the prevailing tendency to longer terms, will serve four years, the aldermen receiving $S500 year. Another provision reduces the school board from twenty-one to fifteen. ap- pointed by the mayor, and vests power of initiating appointments and trans fers of teachers in the superintendent, subject only to veto by the board. A clause fixes the terms of all franchises at twenty years, and provides means of forcing good service from the corpor- ations.
 More responsibility for the mayor is one of the chief features of the propos- ed new charter, and the clause com cerning franchises seems to indicate that municipal ownership of public utilities isn't as popular in Chicago as it has been. Perhaps this is also gem orally true. Proper regulation seems to be the tendency now.

ANIMALS PETS AT WHITE HOUSE

Slippers, the Cat-Long Chase for the
 Kansas Jack Rabbits.
 If all the animals and birds which have been sent by admiring friends as gifts to the President and mem- bers of his family had been allowed to remain at the White House that his toric old structure might easily be turned into a inenagere and the grounds surrounding it into zoologi- cal park
 All the Presidents, back to Wash
 ngton himself, have had gifts shower ed upon them, says the Washington Post, and it was not unusual for these gifts to assume the shape of a wild domestic animals. But it was not until the present occupants came to the White House that the custom of making presents of this character be- gan 10 asume extensive proportions. This is due probably, to the Presidents known love of everything pertaining to natural history, and to the further fact that he is a great hunter His bent in this direction is handed down to his children.
 The gifts to the White House in re- cent years included every American small animal capable of being domes- ticated. With few exceptions they have been sent to the Geological Park, there to become part of the great national collection.
 Gifts of animals from friends in foreign countries are not at all infre- quent. Only recently the President re- ceived from King Menelik of Abyssina an Arabian zebra and two ostriches. These can now be seen at the Zoologi- cal Park, where they have attracted wide attention.

In a paper read at the recent meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers it was maintained that to 'electrify'' all the railroads in the Unit ed States would reduce the annual cost of operation s1,4OO, 900, 900 in 19O5-by s250, 100000 In the year named the av- craze gross earnings of railroads were s9,5sS a mile; average operating eXpen- ses. S6,4O9. Electricity substituted for steam would reduce expenses to $5, ,265, a saving of $1,144 a mile of line. This saving, it was argued, would more than take care of interest and depreciation of power plant, construction, etc. But good many engineers at the meeting considered the topic of general electrifi- cation of railroads "in the air Where, they asked, is the $2,5Oo,OOO,OOO it would cost to make the change to come from The change, if made generally, will take place but slowly and in some parts of the country would probably not be made for many yearA

California olive growers see disaster If not destruction to their industry in a recent decision by general appraisers of the United States customs that certain black or ripe olives imported in bar rels in brine are not dutiable. Senator Perkins warned the growers of their danger and they have sent a letter to the California delegation in congress urging a reversal of this ruling. The olive industry of California represents an investment of $15,OOO,OOO. The olive imported in brine is not natural but a manufactured product, as the fruit from the tree is not edible, Its bitter ness must be extracted by brine before the olive is marketable. Much of the California product is sold in this ripe form, and growers claim it should be protected.

It appears from the report just sub- rlitted by the house committee on post offices and post roads in reference ta the postoffice appropriation bill, that if postage were paid on all government matter sent through the mails, and on matter sent under frank by various federal officials, the deficit in the de- pertinent would be eliminated. This deficit for the last fiscal year amounted to s10s51e.996, It is estimated that pro- posed increases in salaries in the postal service will be about offset by Jreduc- tions in rates obtained from the rail- roads.

 To the Methodists of this country the corresponding secretary for. Sunday schools and the general field superin- tendent of the commission on aggressive evangelism make this interesting an nouncement: "It is proposed to desig- nate Palm Sunday, the Sabbath preced- ing Easter, as the permanent annual Decision Day in the Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal church through out the world. Tn very many of our schools doubtless more than one day during the year will be observed for the purpose of decision, but it seems fitting that one day will be set apart for uni- yersaI observance, for inviting and urg- ing the young people in our Sunday schools to accept Christ as their Saw -four and openly pledge themselves to his service"
