features was the excursion to the In

ton of auditor at s. or So day
The young fellow who used to drag
the chain and figure out angles and
curves on the track is now the super

used to play round the cars and twist
brakes just for fun in a small yard

Still more Interesting is the story of
the water boy who became in time a

a mistake and derailed a train. He went
right into the Office and confessed his
negligence. Before long, for his hon.

ST. PETERSBURG, October II, 1910.
Considerable attention has been drawn
to a rather alarming account OF the con-
dition of the rural districts of the Rus
sian interior. which has just been pub
lished by NJ Yermolofr, ex-minister of
agriculture, after a personal investigation
in the provinces. From this it would APP
pear that the state of present affairs is
worse in some respects than ever before.
Not only has incendiar!sm all over the
country not diminished. but is now being
perpetrated from quite new motives. the
result being at least two new forms of
aerarian crime. The peasants no longer
set fire to the landlords property, but
burn down their own, and that OF their

For instance emigrants to Siberia de-
stroy their insured homes in this method
of liquidation before starting, and, worse

when you come to look into the matter
closely you will be told that in these and

these men has been their strict attention

During the last few years one of the

the passenger train service. The ranks
of the trainmen are now largely recruited

Senator's Life Blameless.

Bishop Smith took occasion IN his ad-
dress TO deplore the scarcity III public
life of men of Senator Delivers charac-
ter. He said in part:
eff we had more men of the Late sena-
tors caliber in public life there would
not be such dishonesty and people would
not dare to breathe a word of scandal
against the peoples servants 1t is de
plorabIe that the people. the press and
:ha public Outlines dare to speak in such
degrading terms of their men in high
Office.
Whether ii is true or untrue that GER
tain men are false to their trust. pub
LEFTY should not go to the extent OF
vilifying the man for some little short
coming. The late senator's life was
blameless, and l doubt if there has ever
been purer man IN politics in this coun-
try.
While he was religious. he was not a
hypocrite. He did not fiaunt his religion.
Such men as Jonathan u. Dolliver hate
cant much as they hate sin The
charm Of his personality was wonderful.
His was superb manliness, of which the
American people may we'll be proud.
