New York, Dec. 1s.-John I. Taylor.
president of the American league Bos-
ton baseball club, was feeling good
the other night. He felt so fine that
he told Secretary Hugh McBreen he
would tack $500 onto his salary.
Later they were lined up in the
Waldorf bar and Taylor decided that
$500 was no kind of a raise for man
of McBreeu's ability, and he said so.
He added that $500 more should be
tackled on. and all hands turned in TO
their downy couches feeling jubilant.
In the morning McBreen and Nick

hunted up Taylor. who had Just seen
his father off on the 10 o'clock train
for Boston. They located him at the
Belmont bar. Taylor was still feeling
good. and McBreen greeted him with ::

night? You boosted my salary $500 -

When President Arrived at
Waterbury, Sonny Was
In the Crowd.
CAPT. BUTT RESCUES HIM

FORM OF PRIVATE CAR TWO OR
THREE TIMES.
(American News Service)


Waterbury. Conn. Dec. 1S-Charley
Taft, the youngest son of President
Taft, had to elbow his way through a
large crowd in order to greet his father
when the Presidents private car, the
Colonial. arrived in WATERFOWL this
afternoon. President Taft is in Wat
ertown to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Horace Taft, wife of the Presidents
brother.
Charley had come down from the
Taft school where he is a student, to be
on hand when the train pulled into the
station. All Of WATERFOWL was out
and Charley, the smallest one in the
crowd, had to force his way through.
He wasn't recognized and those in
front were loath to let him crowd to
the front. He forced his way up to
the platform after his hat had been
knocked off three times.
Attend the Funeral.
Captain Butt quickly jumped to the
platform and escorted Charley to his
father. The father and son held few
minutes conversation before the fam
lily left for the Taft home, where the
funeral of Mrs. Taft was held. The
whole town turned out to greet the
president and when the train reached
Waterbury at $50 o'clock. thirty min
utes late, squad of police was at the
station to see that order was preserv-
ed. Nothing happened at the station
however. The crowd, which was wait
ing to see the nations chief, was dis.
appointed, all the curtains being
drawn.
President Taft left Watertown to
night a. II o'clock. The presidents
party was driven directly to the home
of the Tafts near the school, where the
funeral services over Mrs. Horace Taft
were held at l p. m. During the fu.
neral services all the factories were
shut down, the stores closed and tele
phone communication shut off from
the school and the Taft home.

Oesdemona's Resurrected Feet.

Ellen Terry told comical story
Of one Of Ger early experiences. She
was playing the part of Desdemona,
and after being duly smothered in her
bed by Othello and he had drawn the
curtains she felt great sense of OPP
preston and thought she would sit up
on the edge of the bed until the cur
tain dropped at the end OF the act.
She did so without knowing that the
curtains around her bed did not reach
the floor by nine or ten inches. and the
audience was vastly amused at the
spectacle Of the feet of the dead Des-
demona dangling below the curtains
of the bed on which she was supposed
to be lying dead. - Chicago Record

it's the old cry-A bias les aristo-
crates?" and the Modern Revolution
airy Spirit replying, "Oh. no; we've
got past that. It's A bas La Patrle
now"
United Italy has come into being
within the memory of men not yet
very old. Russia, baffled in the
Crimea, has turned to Asia for her
outlet and been driven back by pow
er which in the Crimean days was
known only as a semi-barbarous king
dom populated by men in lowered tea
gowns who drank tea, waved fans. and
painted pictures that had no back
grounds In Russia more than in any
country except France the political
problem is giving way to the social
and Industrial one: Within five years
the beginnings of popular government
have been made in ST. Petersburg, and
what is believed to be the beginning
of a revolution has been seen.
Into nations long forgotten by civili-
zation the life of modern progress has
penetrated. The Turk within the last
year has undertaken to give serious
answer to the five hundred year old
question, What right have you in Eu-
rope?" With the march of the Mace
donian army on COnstantinople under
the direction of Chefket Pasha the
Turk began to take rank as as Euro
pean and not as an interloper. Persia
has this very year dethroned an aged
long tyranny and made her first tOtter-
ing step toward self-government- A
new spirit has arisen in China.
Fifty years ago, it seems when we
look over the old maps, very little was
known about the earth's surface. Only
twenty-five years ago the school geOg-
raphies used to cut Greenland used to
cut Greenland off about half way up
and leave the northern half of her to
the imagination. Since then Peary,
Cagni and other explorers have made
the Arctic Ocean as familiar to us as
| New York Bay.
Fifty years ago the Dark Continent
was dark indeed. The first of the
great expeditions which have resulted
in opening the interior of Africa to
general knowledge were being under
taken. Burton was trying to discover
the sources of the Nile. The half cen.
fury which we are now considering
was we'll under way before Speke's
discovery was recognized. What Stan
ley did he did within the memory OF
this generation.
Tibet, and, for that matter, almost
all Central Asia, was a land of mys.
terry then. 1t is so still, to some ex.
tent, but daring explorers have left
very little in the way of secrets from
Turkestan to Lhassa- 1t is somewhat

to the discredit Of America that the
Western Hemisphere has been the re-
cipient of less attention at the hands
of explorers than Africa, Asia, or ev-
en- the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans
There has been no Shackleton and no
Peary for Brazil. but even South Am
erica is better known today than it
was fifty years ago.
The revolutions made in the scien-
tific world in the last half century are
such commonplace that all the liter
ature of exclamation was exhausted on
them long ago. 1t is quite enough to
recapitulate what has been done in
electricity since the days Of Morse, in
engineering, in astronomy, in medicine
and surgery-in short, in every sci
ence The world has really begun to
live in the last half century so far as
it's knowledge is concerned.
In art and literature the changes
have been equally radical 1t is an
open question, and one likely to be
fearfully debated, whether the changes
in these directions have been for the
better or for the worse. But that the
musical world is no longer what it was
before Wagner began his work. that
literature today is not that of the
Nicholas Nickleby" era, and that the
other arts have undergone equally pro-
nounced changes, is probably not dis
puted by anybody.
AS for commerce and manufacturing
the railroad and telegraph have com
pletely revolutionized them. 1t almost
seems as if the commerce of 1859 was
done on the country grocery store
plan when it Is compared with the
wonderful network that it sends over
the world today. The complete trans
formation of business by its centraliza
ton through a big industrial combina
ton is too obvious to require com
ment.

New York, Dec. 1S.-In an address
delivered not long ago DR.. Charles w.
Eliot made the significant statement
that the world had been practically re-
made within the last half century. If
a very few departments of human ac-
tivity are subtracted from this esti-
mate it will appear SO true that II a
man who died fifty years ago were
to revisit the world he would hardly
recognize It, No more striking proof
of the fact could be given than the
staggering-but perfectly accurate
statement of Lord Avebury, which The
Times prints today, in which he says
that he is colder than any railway
company in the world, any gas COM
pany, any steamboat company, any
telegraph, telephone, or electric light
company"
But it is not science alone that has
remade the world. 1t has been re-
made territorially, geographically, and
politically. Within the half century
practically all the great problems con-
nected with the installation of demo-
cratic government in the eighteenth
century have been solved. and appar-
emily the world is to face industrial
instead of political questions In the
twentieth century.
Slavery has disappeared from the
civilized countries. In the United
States the question Of nationalism. as
against federalism was settled by the
civil war. Japan has come into being
as a world power. Not only that, but
she has reconstructed her political
and social system and furnished the
most amazing instance In history of a
nation turning complete political
and governmental somersault in order
to accommodate herself to Western
civilization.
The German Empire is not yet forty
years old. The French Republic is
the same age. What began with the
revolution of 1889 kept France in tur-
moil for a century and seemed to have
received it's deathblow a dozen times
between Waterloo and Fontainebleau,
now bears all the outward evidences
Of being an assured fact. Republican
ism seems to be Frances future, and
no one now takes seriously the plans
of the Orleanists, Legitimists and
Bonapartists; so safely does France S
political future seem to be settled that
it is in that country more than in any
other that the industrial and social
problems of the twentieth are coming
up for settlement. That was a very
significant cartoon which Punch print.

Is'Germany Peeved?
The anger of Germany at the Unit :
ed States is another factor that may
contain further international compli-

Taft and Secretary Knox in the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger, probably the most
powerful paper Of Germany, and reput-
ed to be inspired by the foreign office,
is an alarming development.
According to dispatches received to-
day, this paper charges the president
with stirring up the Nicaraguan revo-
luton in the same manner that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is accused Of having en-
gineered the Panama revolution and
for the same object. Germans reput-
ed desire for Nicaraguan canal route
is regarded as being the source of this
onslaught.
