and why not at Christmas time ?- away from the rascals and gaze up- on the saints There was an old color ed washerwoman, long passed to her reward, who used to be a great com fort to us. Her character was so fine that the contemplation of it eased the mind after the strain of running against certain selfish and wicked persons No one can do fellow mor- tai a greater kindness than in helping to store his mind with instances of public or private goodness We heard the other day of a group of poor peo- pie mechanics and others, who out of their earnings saved enough, money to buy d piano for a girl who had to go on crutches. These kindly souls got the girl away from the house, hur- ried the piano in and took her back into1a darkened room, where the donors were sitting about waiting to see the girl made happy when the lights should be turned on Not long ago we were told of the good deeds of q millionaire, q man who had DSNh !" WI hiAAdH, .NHO WVil dIl flOlltSL fortune but could not he happy till he had made q lot of his friends and companions well off, too--all in the most delicate and brotherly way~-de- liberately keeping down his own for tune in order to add to the comfort and happiness of others, Let us make much of such characters and incidents, for encouragement and edifcation!
 There are in these United States immense numbers of perfectly honor- able and trustworthy public officials, business men, and men of all occupa- tions There is an enormous amount of unselfish public service upon the part of men and women who take no office. The sincere, self-sacrificing labor for the good of particular communities, and for the general uplifting of hu- manity-in our churches, educational institutions, charities. and associations for the betterment of various kinds | is simply incalculable And yet one is 1 told now and then that the whole country is going to the dogs; that America is the failure of the ages. If one should believe this abominable calumny, moral paralysis would strike
 to the very heart of the most cour. ageous. The statement of course is grotesque, wicked, ignorant, harmful nonsense. Magazine.

RYAN AFTER MET. RAILWAY.
Stockholders Lawyer Asserts Would
 Scoop in System.


 New York, Dec. 19.--At Judge La combe's hearing in the United States circuit court this afternoon on the motion of the Metropolitan Street Railway company receivers for per- mission to drop the lease of the Third avenue railroad, many diverse ex-. pressions of opinion were forthcom- ing from stockholders, bondholders. creditors and others. The receivers, Adrian H. Jolin and Douglas Robin- son, were in court, as were the coun- sel, Arthur H Masten, but they took no part in the discussions.
 Henry Wolllnan, who represented stockholders in favor of the appoint ment of new receivers by the United States court, attacked the motives back of the application for permls- sion to drop the lease.
 The Ryan interests, he asserted. were anxious to foreclose and scoop in. thessystem. The animus Of the situa- ton, he said, had been revealed by the tone of the referees petition for instructions, which he characterized as one of the bluest of documents

VICTIM WAS AWAKE.
So Burglar in Park Street Went Right
 Out.

A bold attempt at robbery that was frustrated through the unexpected and unlocked fer fact that the intended victim was awake at the time of the call was made a little after o'clock yesterday morning at the home of An drew G. Smith of the New Haven Win dow Shade company at AZ Park street. The burglar made his entHnce through a window of the rear paHpr, which he pried open, breaking th% catch. MT, Smith heard the sound of someone in the house, and then saw,a flash from the burglars lantern thrown across the mirror in his bedroom. Then the light went to the bureau. and MT Smith caught sight of the man, and yelled to him to get out, which, though he dil mot apparently come to leave so soon, he did in quick time. The burglar failed to get anything as the result of his visit, He did leave brand new chisel however. as a souvenir.

ON JAPAN
Dr. John DeForest, Resident There Thirty Years, Gives
 an Address.
HAD MANCHURlAN PICTURES
Interesting Account of the Stirring Events in the Late War With
 Russia is Given.

On Monday evening, December IS, in Memorial hall, North Haven, Dr. John II, DeForest delivered an illustrated lecture on the subject, My Experi- eAee with the Japanese Army in Man churia. The lecture was illustrated With 50 views from photographs taken oy pr. DeForest himself. The views were very clear and beautiful and rep- fesent scenes of great historic interest
 The lecture was highly entertaining and instructive and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. This lecture was all the more interesting in that Dr. DeForest was in the midst of rela- tlves and life long friends Japan has been his home and the scene of his active laoors for more than 30 years He has been closely identified with Japan's phenomenal transformation, and as Christian statesman has had and as a Christion statesman has had
 ess It is such men as pr. DeForest Who commend both the Christian re- 'gion and American civilization to Japan. He has the utmost confidence and respect of the Japanese people. and men in high position, both in civic and military life, have shown him every courtesy and conferred upon him much honor He comes back to us with natured conviction, and every word he says about Japan and Japanese .rela- ions with America is first hand infor- nation, and his lectures are a whole sorae offset to the yellow journalism
 Q which the American people have been so plentifully treated.
 The lecture consisted mainly of run ming comment on series of splendid views beginning with 2OS Meter Hill. It was the capture of this strategic stronghold after almost unparalleled slaughter on both sides that gave the Japanese the key to Port Arthur, From this hill 1t will be remembered. the varships in the harbor were in full view, and they were all speedily sunk by Japanese shells, from invisible guns whose fire was directed from this van tage point. We followed the lecturer in his journey to all the great battle fields further north and we felt as we thought of the magnitude of the con tending armies of the great numbers Of the slain, of the invinc!ble bravery of the Japanese that we were follow ing in the wake of the mighNest mili- tary movements of history Such lec- lures will do good in that they reveaI So graphically the qualities and pos abilities of the Japanese character Such people chrlstianized will be 2 mighty factor in shaping the future course of history. In view of the ter, rible desolation of war, one likes tC feel that pr. DeForest is right in say. ing that the Japanese have fought theil battles for America Russian aggres
 sion meant war; and had it not beer for the effective check which they me
 in tho Japanese. American armie. would have had to meet them soonel or later. Let us hope that it has al

OLIVES FOR CHICAGO.
Special Refrigerator Trains to Trans. port Shipload Over Lackawanna.

From the office of the general east erp freight agent of the Lackawanna railroad 1t was learned that the Cans line steamer, just arrived from Sicily, had brought over the largest eonsign- ment of olives ever sent to a single firm in America,
 This consignment consisted of over 100 carloads, going to Reid, Murdock & Co.,. Chicago. In order to supply the holiday trade, the Lackawanna is to forward the consignment in special trains of refrigerator cars,
 The first olive special over any line left Hoboken last evening and will be followed, as soon as the olives can be loaded, by other special trains. The people of Chicago and the west are assured that there will be no olive famine this Christmas

rAMslANY KEEPS AHEARv.
Borough President Removed by Gov
 Hughes as Unfit is Reelected,

New York, Dee. 19-John F, Ahearn was elected this afternoon by the Man haitian members of the Board of Al dermen as president Of this borough, to succeed himself in the office from which Gov. Hughes removed him ten days ago on the ground of unftness.
 Immediately after his election, by a vote of 24 to F, had been declared, he was ushered into the chamber by AL derman Sullivan and sworn into office by Mayor Mcclellan.
 As presiding officer at the election, the mayor had ruled, not more than half an hour before, that the election of Ahearn would be out of order, as a nullifcation of the governors rouov- al.
 The vote in the board was not only a vindication of Ahearn, but it followed probably the most uncomfortable hour the mayor has ever had in politics. His Tammany enemies did not fail to make the most of their opportunity They had the galleries jammed with Tam many and Ahearn shouters. who be- gan to applaud when the meeting was called to order.
 MT. McClellan's rapping and calling for order were useless. and when the triumphant Ahearn was led into the room, bedlam broke loose, not only in the gallery, but on the floor of the chamber.
 So far as the governor is concerned, Ahearn, elected to-day, will not be the same Ahearn who was removed. None of the acts of Ahearn before his re- moval can be used against him after his new election, according to Tam many's lawyer, ard before he can be removed again, he will have to furnish new ground upon which charges may be based.

MODERN PROGRESS

The progress of which we boast and for which we are sometimes officially asked to give thanks, is purchased at Ia huge cost of human happiness. Red men, black men, yellow men--ulI the tinted races Who form the ia,lnenso majority of humankind-wil hardly hold a Thanksgiving day to celebrate the predominance of the white race. That we may be eXterminatal, lriv- en into the Seven seas, got rid cf.far- ever, must be their most natural anu pardenable wish. Were this acccn- plished, what a reason for .hankfui- ness would be theirs!
 For the toiling myriads of all lands there is little hope that any scheme of social reform will ever do away With the need of unremitting labor; scisnc makes great and vague promises of the amelioration of the lot of man, but we may properly be incredul ,us Science will not remove the primal curse, Nor may science or social transformation replace the incrs lible
  pettiness of existence with great and lasting enthusiasms, providing daily inspiration for humanity. All things must be won by patient, ploddlng ef- fort; the face must be turned down wardtto clod or bench
 And yet for the masses of men there Is always something in the comm on, est things of life to be thankful fJr to rejoice in--there is the bright sun shine after the darkness of night, the cooling rain after summer heat, food to appease hunger; sometimes, even. a glimpse of love to ennoble the hard struggle and relieve the sordid dru lg. cry which is the lot of the majority ot men and women. Something is surely dueN this great host of beings born to sorrow and to labor and too often tht prey of Giant Despair. The scheme of this strange universe should n. clude, in the far future, a genera thanksgiving day for all who have liv, ed on our troubled plar et.-Msxicar Herald

TICKET SPECULATION.
Illinois Supreme Court Holds Sale at
 Any Price is Legal.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The Illinois ,su- preme court at Springfield yesterday found unconstitutional the state law prohibiting speculation in theater tick etc
 The court holds that the sale of theater tickets at a greater price than that printed on the face is not injur- ious to the public health, morals, safety, or generalscomfort of the pub lie. The buyer may purchase or not, He is under no compulsion.
 The theater is not like a public carrier, which operates through 3 franchise It is under no obligations to perform it's function continuously. It may sell tickets at any price it may see fit, or it may reject tickets and col lect coins at the door
