MCCLELLAN WINS RECOUNT SUIT
Court Directs Jury to Find That
Mayor Was Legally Elected.

New York City.-In concise terms
Supreme Court Justice Lambert, who
has been presiding over the quo war
ranto suit brought by Attorney Cen
eral Jackson to GUST George B. Nc
Clellan as Mayor of this city, directed
the jury to render a verdict to the
effect that Mr.. Mcclellan was duly
and legally elected, and that no evil
dence to sustain the charges of fraud
in the election of 1906 had been dis
closed. This the jury did without
leaving the box. This ends two and
one-half years litigation instituted
by William Randolph Hearst, one of
the defeated candidates in the cleo
ton of 1905.
Clarence J. Shearn, Hearst's tcoun-
sci, took formal exception to the YER
dict and asked for new trial His
motion was denied and he again had
an exception noted.
Justice Lambert allowed an extra
allowance of $40 day to the jurors.
They have served fifty-one days and
each will receive $50 instead of
$102. For the whole jury the cost
will be $6120. Justice Lambert
thanked them briefly for their serv-
ices.
Mayor McClellan's final plurality
is 1865. No appeal will be taken by
Hearst.

BURMESE BUDDHISTS.

Worship of the image of Buddha
as practiced in Burma is wildly de-
iineated In the photograph on this
page. 1t is the boast of the Burmese
that nowhere, unless possibly in Cey-
Ion are the teachings of the great
Gautama preserved and followed
with the purity that they are in
Burma. Yet taking the teachings as
they have come down to us, no one
can conceive of the teacher accepting
or in any sense approving the rites
practiced by his followers of this gem
Grafton; they are so utterly alien to
his doctrine as we conceive it. The
Buddhists priests have their own way
of reconciling the formality, the rites
and ceremonies of the worship in
their temples with the Buddhism that
Gautama taught, but to US it seems
that it is removed from it as far as a
pontifical mass in st. Peters is from
the simplicity of a Quaker meeting
The extraordinary fact is that Gau-
tama, born as is supposed in $40 B..

"A Tree 1900 Years old.

Whatever the age of the trees in

the ordinary course be offered.

C.-about the time that Ezra and
Nehemiah were gathering their peo-
pie to return to the Holy Land by per-
mission of Cyrus-began to declare
his faith in opposition to the Brah-
manism which had dominated the
thought of India for more than a
thousand years, should have been
able to establish it single-handed. and
that in our time, twenty-five centuries
later, it survives and is the creed of
five hundred million human beings.
AS far as we can gather from the
traditions that have come down to
us, Gautama revolted from Brahman-
ism, and like Ecclesiastes, sought
spiritual peace by various means. He
first tried philosophy, and then bodily
austerites by which he nearly lost his
life. At last he made his great dis
'covery, as he states in his sacred
writings, that "To cease from sin, to
get virtue, to cleanse ones own heart,
is the only way to peace. This" he
said, lis the doctrine of Buddha."
To die to desire, to make absolute
self-surrender to God, to be utterly
Indifferent to the world, sustained
by the inward life, ito be nothing"
until finally individuality was swal-
lowed up in the Nirvana, that was
Buddha's idea as it appears to the
modern student. 1t is difficult to un-
derstand how such doctrine could
have become corrupted into the Bud
dhism that kissed the toe of an image,

A Feat of Communication.

The story of what may be called
a remarkable feat of communication
is told in Harper's Weekly. Thirty
seven years ago, it is recalled by the
writer, it took Stanley nine months
of travel through the vast equatorial
forests of Africa to reach Ujiji and
find Livingstone. During almost his
entire journey he was lost to COM
