German Pedigree Book.

There is in Germany what Is known
as the German Pedigree Book" or
"DemtSche. GeSchIrchterbunh.' The
purpose or he pedigree book. accord
ing to a Berlin correspondent. is to
record the ancestry not OF mobiles,
bat of bourgeois persons who can
prove that they are Of genuine middle
class or working class ancestry and
have no noble blood in their veins.
The editor explains in his preface that,
Willie many German mobiles out of
court and material considerations have
not kept their blood pure. there are
many good business class families
which have managed TO do So" By
thus encouraging the proper pride OF
such families the pedigree book is do
Ing much to eradicate the traditional
envy Of the mobiles.

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
An Incident That Marked His Spirit
and independence.

An incident That MARKED his SP'sit
and independence.
In his "Glimpses of the Confederate
Army" in the American Review Of Re-
views Randolph Fl. Mckim writes:
1T seems to me as / look back that
one Of the things which stood out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative OF
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been a better army in the field If 1t had
been welded together by stricter dis
cipline. but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
Of the units in the column. 1t was not
easy to demoralize body composed OF
men who thought and acted in spirit
Of independence in battle.
"As an illustration of the spirit OF
the private soldier | recall an incident
to this effect Major General Gordon
had organized strong column TO make
n night attack on Grants lines at Pc,
tersburg. When be was ready to move
and the order 10 advance was given q
Big Texan stepped out Of the ranks
and said:
General Gordon, this column can't
move before l a. u. The men have a
truce with the Yanks, and it amt up
till o'clock
1.-THE column did not move till that
hour The private In the ranks had
taken command, and the major general
recognized his authority"

LOW SALARIES,
EMPTY PULPITS
With High Cost of Living Not Even
Bachelors Can Stick to Their
Posts.

Lockport. n. Y, May 20.--The meagre
salaries paid to preachers are held re-
sponsible by the New York State Con-
gregationalists, now in convention here,
for the fact that it has been impossible
to provide pastors for more than 100
churches in various parts of the state.
The average salary in the vacant pas
torates il $500 a year, and the high
cost of living makes it impossible, even
for a bachelor preacher to live within
this income. according to the pastoral
supply committee.
The committees report further calls
attention to the curious reasons given
by some Of the more important congre-
cations for refusing to call certain min
listers. One candidate is objected to by
congregation because he crossed his
legs in the pulpit. Another congrega-
ton objected to the style in which
minister combed his hair, and another
church refused candidate because he
walked up the centre aisle as though
he were self-satisfied."

ROAD FACES 100000 SUIT.
One Against Boston & Maine for That
Amount

Concord, n. IT,, May 20. Remick &
Hollis have filed in the United States
circuit court for the district OF New
Hampshire suit against the Boston 4
Maine railroad under the United States
employers liability act, in which the
damages asked are fixed at 100000
The suit is the first under the law to
be entered III this district and Is brought
by Charles H. Parmenter. administrator
OF the estate of George NJ. Parmenter,
fireman in the employ of the Boston
& Maine road. who was killed in the
rear end collision between the Quebec
Central and the Central Vermont ex-
press in the summer Of 1909 The
grounds on which the claims for dam
ages are based are that the engine att
tached to the Quebec Central was unfit
for service: that the train was INSULT
GENTLY manned, that the station agent
at Enfield failed to hold the Central YER
mont express when he knew it to be
running too closely to the train ahead
and that signals which might have pre-
vented the wreck were not used.
Several other grounds are set up in
the bill, which has been filed with Burns
p Hodgman, clerk OF the court
