- Asst week was almost an unprece-
dented one for society. for the
middle OF June. The al freseo
plays at the White House for the
benefit OF the Playground Association
demonstrated that there were yet many
distinguished men and women in town.
The play of Twelfth Night" on Fri
day afternoon was probably never given
under more picturesque or moro historic
circumstances or conditions. The weather
was perfect, as though the weather man
was showing Just what sort OF weather
was possible in Washington, but not to
be counted on. for the perfectly clear sky
OF the afternoon brought on the most
oninous clouds and thunderings just at
the time for the opening OF the play in
the evening, which frightened away many
people.
President and Mrs. Taft were greatly
interested in the success of the plays.

City Planning.

from the ttca PreSs-
In the early history of this country a
city planted itself where it happened
and grew as it liked, without regard to
any particular or special plan. Boston
is often referred 10 the best sample
of this sort of thing ard its streets are
said to have originally been COW paths,
which is cited as an explanation of their
crookedness- What are known as fiat
iron blocks are criticised nowadays
but in the olden times nobody had any
objections to them and they were fire.
quent Streets We're laid out as they
were not the result OF any system which
took the distant fl,ure into any account
at all. Western Giles are far better OFF
in this respect tnan those in the east
because later built. Wise people profit
by the mistakes of their predecessors.
Hence ii happened that when western
villages were laid out they were ambi-
tious to be cities and so better plans
were prepared Then. too. building lots
regularly plotted looked more attractive
to eastern spectators and served more
efficiently to induce them to buy from
a picture, because on map one street
looks just as well jas another and a cor
or mile and a half from the post
office.
There is general movement and dis
position which has been increasingly
evident for some years in this country
to do something looking toward the
adOrnment of cities. The desirabiity OF
making them attractive places for
business and residence has come to he
regarded as something more substantial
nan sentiment Improvement i'm this
direction is largely matter OF educat-
ing public opinion.

AGE IS NOT DECADENT
DR.. HARRY PRATT JUDSON
SETS HIMSELF RIGHT.
EXPLANATION of What He Said Not
Exactly Complimentary to
the Age.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Dr. Harry Pratt
! Judson, president of the University OF
Chicago, does not consider the present
age decadent. although newspaper re-
ports of his address before the Northern
Baptist Association attribute this view to
him.
Since then he has been subjected to
inquiries and comments from various
parts of the country. Taday he issued a
statement to set himself right. What
he really did say was thus:
'In my judgment there never was a
time when society SO greatly needed the
impulse of moral motive as today. The
whole condition of modern life is alarm
ing 1t reminds one Of the character OF
Roman society during its decadence and
before the dissolution of the empire at
the hands of barbarians. of the char
acter Of French society preceding the
French revolution
Four Sources of Evil.
In his address DR.. Judson recognized
four sources Of evil active in the world
today. The first being war. OF the
others he mentioned:
Another source Of endless evil is dis
honesty. permeating public and private
life alike. tainting the administration OF
justice, tainting our legislative halls
taintine the conduct Of private bust
ness, polluting the conduct of public
business, polluting at times even the
church itself.
Another vital source of infinite evil
is drunkenness, and by this I mean not
ialOne intemperance In the use or IN
Itoxicating liquors.
Works in the Dark.
"a fourth source of infinite evil in
every modern society is impurity OF
word and act. So corrupting in its in
fiuence as to rot away the very founda-
tions Of life itself. it is insidious. al
times unknown, working in the dark,
almost impossible to find and graphic
with successfully.
This indic.men according to DR..
Judsons statement today. while reml-
niscent Of decadence, does not constitute
the decadence of Rome and France at
the periods before alluded to-

going home, travelling in a buggy. and at
! tempted to cross the river. They were in
the ferryboat, which was in charge Of
three negroes, Frank Snuggs, julie SnuggS
and Oscar Colson. When about half way
across the river the front chain slipped
Its fastening, running the from, end OF
the boat down stream until it was
at right angles with the current. The
| current was running very swiftly and over
turned the boat and 1t sank. The Occu-
pants of the boat. with the exception of
one of the boat hands, were swept away
by the current.
On the bank of the river at this time
We're Harley Tomlinson and Frank For

swept off the boat and down the stream.
Later his son, Greedy Forrest, rescued
Frank Forrest. and the two together went
back to the wreck and brought Off all
who were alive. Neither Col. Myers nor
Mr.. Little was injured.
Shortly after this the Rev T. W.
Chamb.iss of Wadesboro brought the
matter TO the attention Of the Carnegie
hero fund commission, with the result
that an investigation was made and a
full report of the incident sent to the
commission at Pittsburg. The outcome
of this investigation is that the commits

A Venerable Voter Early.
Correspondence London News.

One of the best stories of the election
comes to me from Radstock, In =. the
Frome division of Somerset, again rep
resented by Sir John Barlow. An old
miner named Elijah Weeks turned UP at
the polling booth at 1870 am AT
o'clock he received the first ballot paper
issued, and when he had voted turned
to other electors who were following and
said: .'That's for Sir John, God bless him.
Now YOU chaps go and do the same -
The old gentleman afterward told a
group of men that he was on that day
celebrating his seventy-fifth birthday an
niversary: that he was married fifty-two
years ago to the very date; that two
years ago on the same date lie gave up
work after sixty three years service at
the WaIdeerave collieries, Radstock:
that thirteen months ago to the day he
received his first old-age pension. He
slowed with pride AS he recalled this
remarkable record, but the fact which
gave him the greatest pleasure was that
he had got i'm the first vote that morning
for Sir John Barlow.
