The great Pennsylvania, the real
model railroad of the continent, has
ordered 90 big electric locomotives, the
largest ever turned out at the famous
Baldwin shops in Philadelphia, for its
New York terminal in Twenty-third

of electric traction on the principal
lines Of the land is not near, and the
obIiteration of the putting, painting,

PREDICTS NEW RELIGION.

Charles w. Eliot, president EN- eritu
Of Harvard, in an address before th'
Harvard summer school Of theology at
Cambridge, Msss., yesterday, prophesiei
the advent of new religion.
"It will not be bound dogma or
creed" he said. "Its workings will bt
simple, bat its field OF action limitess.
Its discipline will be training 10 the de.
yelopment of cooperative goodwill. L
will attack all forms of evil.
"There will be no supernatural ele.
ment; it will place no reliance on auy.
thing but the laws OF nature. Preven-
tion will be the watchword, and a skill.
ed surgeon one Of its members"
The coming religion, he thought,
would be based on two great command
ments, the love of God and the service
of fellowmen. "The new religion" be
said, "will not be based upon authority ;
the future generation is to be led, mo-
driven. In the new religion there will
be no personifcatlon of natural objects;
there will be NO deifcstitn of remark
able human beings.
"The new religion will not teach thst
character can be changed quickly. 1t
will not deall chiefly with sorrow and
death, but with joy and life.
"God will be so imminent that no
Intermediary will be needed. It's priests
will strive TO improve social aud indus
trial conditions. The new religion will
not attempt to reconcile people to pres.
ent ills by the promise of future com.
pensatiop." /"

ANOTHER TRUNK MYSTERY.

Another trunk mystery was revealed
yesterday by the finding of the body of
Mines K Moojian iu the room Of Va
han NslOsndiau, 10 boarding house
! In Lynn, Mass. Both MoDjisn and
Nalbaodian were shoe workers.
There was a bullet wound aud several
knife wounds in the breast The body,
which was fully clothed, PROBABLY had
been put in the trunk Saturday night or
early Sunday morning, for Morjan was
seen by his sister in Boston Saturday
afternoon.
That the motive for the murder was
not robbery is shown by the fact that
the mans bankbook, his gold watch and
chain, and some loose change were found
In bis pockets.
The police say that since the victims
return from trip to Chicago, about two
weeks sgo, be had earned but S15, and
probably had spent nearly all Of
that.
The police are,anxious to find Nal
bandlan, who also IS known as Frank
Jones. NaIbandian has been missing
since Monday, and the police believe be
has sailed for foreign port.
Chief Burkes says he is satis6ed that
the murderer and MoDjisn went together
to Nalbsndlan's room either Saturday
night or early Sunday morning, and
that 6hile there the crime was com.
mitted.
Ia the bank book was note which |
said: "If anything happens to me notify |
l.. B. Adams, 9SS Center street Jamaica
Plain"
l.. B. Adams, to whom reference is
made in a note found in the pocket of
the victim of the Lynn trunk murder,
is q newspaper photographer in New
York. Monj ans sister was the wife
Of one Of Adams relatives. The couple
quarreled, it is said, and separated.
MOpjian is reported to have taken the
side of his sister against the woman's
husband and, it is reported, incurred the
husbands enmity.

growing area of 800, 900 square miles
there has been a uniform production
and a high average. Careful estimates
place the yield of spring wheat at 30
bushels per acre, winter wheat at over
40 bushels and oats exceed so ush
per acre. Barley also has proved an
abundant yield. What will attract the
reading public more than volumes of
