Banking interests Control

The passing Of Missouri Pacific from
the hands of the Goulds into the control
of banking interests" marks the end of
another railroad dynasty Ordinarily the
transfer occurs at death, as with the Har-
riman properties. The present case is
notable as one of enforced abdication dur
ing life.
In either instance the event is signifi-
cant of the new order Of things in railroad
administration 1t is no longer day Of
railroad kings, though Mr.. Hill remains
as an example of the old regime But
generally individual absolutism in railroad
control has gone along with the era which
( witnessed its extraordinary development
Except for Mr.. Hill, no professional rail-
road man today dominates a great rail-
road system as Garrett dominated the
Baltimore and Ohio and William II. Van
derbilt the Central. Norailroad president
exercises anything comparable with Tom
Scott's arbitrary rule of the Pennsylvania.
To the monarchy has succeeded the
oligarchy OF banking interests and execu-
tive committees, and councils of ten
govern where once the doge was SUI
preme. Something has no doubt been
lost to the romance OF railroad fortunes in
America by the change But the effect
is to increase the stability OF the roads
through the larger resources of capital
at their command.-Ne5O York World

Catholics Number $4,000, 900.

Wiltzlus Directory gives the number OF
Roman Catholics in the United States at
I4,6IS,76I These figures do not include
Catholics in the Philippines, Porto Rico,
or Hawaiian Islands. If these were
added the number of Roman Catholics
under the American flag would approxi-
mate $4,000, 900
Although the United States religious
census Of 1906 credits the Roman Catholic
faith with only 1909, I42, the Wiltzius
figure is not exaggerated, as the Census
Bureau deducted IS per cent. OF its total
count for children, counting only COM
muncants.
According to the directory, there are
in the United States I7,oo4 Catholic
priests and I3,46r churches. OF this
number eoI7 have resident pastors.
Catholics also control 4e72 parochial
schools, with an attendance of I,27o,I3I.
In addition to this there are 225 colleges
for boys and 6o6 academies for girls, and
81 ecclesiastical seminaries.

films and slides to show the disastrous

epidemic of whooping cough In this
connection, pictures were not used but,

WHEN WOMEN SHOULD MARRY.

Probably the best time for the average
woman to marry would be any age be-
tween twenty-tour and thirty-five. 1t is
not said that no woman should marry
earlier or later than either of these ages;
but youth and health and vigor are us
ually at their highest perfection between
these two periods Early marriages are
seldom desirable for girls and that
for many reasons. The BRAN is imma-
ture the reason is feeble and the char
acter is uniformed. The consideration
which would prompt girl to marry at
seventeen would in many cases have
but very little weight with her at twenty
four a woman.
Where a girl has intelligent parents,
the seven years between seventeen and
tweuty-four is the period when the mind
and body are most amenable to wise
discipline and bestrepay the thought and
toll devoted to their development. Be-
fore seventeen few girls have learned to
understand what life is and what duty is.
They cannot value what is best either
in the fathers wisdom or in the mothers
tenderness. When married at this child
ish period they are like young recruits
taken fresh from the farm and the work
shop and hurried off to long campaign
without any period of preliminary drill
and training or like a school boy re-
moved from school to a curacy without
being sent TO the university or to theo-
logical hall.
Who can help grieving over a child
wife especially if she has children and
husband who is an experienced and
possibly exacting boy man. The ardor
of his love soon cools the visionary bliss
of her poetical Imagination vanshes like
the summer mist. There is nothing left
but disappointment and wonder that
what promised to be a beautiful and
long dav should be clouded almost
before sunrise.

Horse Breeding Rules.

An English horse breeder once laid
down the following rules which are worth
remembering: Never use unhealthy or
unsound ANIMALS, nor those that are ill
tempered Parents that are greatly dis
similar III their breed and shapes should
not be mated to breed. Neither should
great big stations be bred to small mares,
nor should a half-bred stallion Of any
breed be used. Avoid breeding in-and-in,
and do not breed from coarse, loose made
mares. Do not breed from mares which,
having bred, produced bad colts. Deter
mine exactly the character of the horse it
is intended to produce and never lose
sight of it. To breed halEbred horses,
select a pure thoroughbred horse and a
halfbred mare; the better she is the more
valuable she will be.

merOuS.

The Boonsboro Times contains the
following article, written by the editor,
Rev G.. A. Roudabush
'Our observation convinces us that
thereis is nothing which SO much binders
the progress of the church as these nu-
merous organizations within the church.
The church of the present day is para
lyzed with organizations. The people
become worn out and lose interest in
the church on account of the crowded
condition of its services. We believe
that it is possible for men to become
spiritual and mental dySpeptics as well
as physical and it is necessary for men
to have time to digest what they hear
as we'll as what they eat The man who
is struggling for an existence in the
business world if he would attempt to
attend to all of the duties and services
of the church would find no time or very
little to spend in the seclusion of the
home with his wife and children. which
after all, is the bulWark of religion and
the hope OF the future prosperity OF the
church. In the present day it takes the
minister almost as long to announce the
different services of his church as to

organizations which are nothing more
than wheels in a wheel, and we some
times think amount to about as much
as fifth wheel to a wagon, result in
a scattering of the energies of the
church. The great need of the church
today is not only consecration, but con-
centration. One great secret of Stone
wall Jackson's success as a general in
the war between the States was that he
concentrated and struck hard. We be-
lieve that it would be well for the church
to adopt these tactics. Scattered ener-
gies will weaken any man, any organiza-
ton and any church..

Farmers and the Tariff.

1t must be set down 10 the credit of the
farmers who oppose reciprocity that more
of them insist on the maintenance of
present iniquitous tariff rates. They iu-
sist, however, if there is to be any cutting
of rates it should begin in the schedules
where rates are most oppressive. Their
position is entirely natural: Down with
the rates; but down the other fellow first. T"
The error of the farmers is in suppos,
ing that they are, or can be, protected
and in believing that any increase OF trade
across the Canadian frontier that helps
other industries that underlies all others.
Lower tariffs, more trade, more profit.

ONE KIND OF MAN.

Courtesy to the women. old and young,
should be part of every body's home
training. Without it he is likely to be
boorish and selfish, and rude and over
bearing brother and son is in danger
dscourteous husband. He is likely to
belong to that class of boys who come
into the house and say TO their sisters:
Here, Mary, you've got the chair
that always like to sit in, and Katie
has the paper that | want. Let me have
them!'
There's button off my overcoat,
and | want one of you girls to put it on
before morning. Mary, run and get my
slippers" "
His hat, gloves and overcoat have
been thrown down in different parts of
the room, for his mother or sisters to
pick up and put away. His. mother
comes into the room and he says:
Mother, isn't supper most ready?
am half Starvedp'
'It will be ready in a few minutes. /"
his mother replies.
At the table he is always served first
and has the best of everything, a course
that it is well calculated to foster his
selhshness and autocratic tendencies
In his own home heis a sort of des-
pot He feels that his personal comfort
should be the chief end and aim of his
wife's life. A delayed dinner is an un-
forgiveable offense, and missing button
brings on an attack of that disagreeable
mental disorder called sulks.
He is likely to be one of the men
who keep their seats white ladies stand
in the horse cars arguing while he
does SO that women have just as much
right to stand as men"
Obstrusive discourtesy of this kind
nearly all has its origin in the early home
life of the man who manifests it.

APHORISMS.

Politeness is as natural to delicate ma
lures as perfume is to the flowers.
Shun idleness, it is the rust that at
taches itself to the most brilliant metals
The surest way to please is to forget
ones self and to think only OF Others.
Nothing sharpens the arrow of sarcasm
so keenly as the courtesy that polishes
it, No reproach is like that we clothe
with smile and present with bow.
If we had no defects we should not
take SO much pleasure in discovering
thoseof others.
Thinkers are as scarce as gold, but he
whose thoughts embraces all Of his sub
jects who pursues it uninterruptedly and
fearless of consequences is a diamond of
enormous size.
A weapon is anything that can serve
to wound; and sentiments are perhaps
the most cruel weapons man can employ
to wound his fcllowman.
A homely man Of merit is never
repulsive. AS soon as he is named his
physique is forgotten; his mind passes
through it to see the soul.
There is no better excess in the world
than the excess Of gratitude.
1t is never the opinions of others that
dispeases us, but the pertinacity that
they display in obtruding them upon us.
He who thinks himselfgood for every
thing is often good for nothing.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1911-03-03

Youth is sweet with its fiery enterprise
and suppose mature manhood will be
just as much so, though i'll calmer way,
and age, quieter still, will have its own
merits-the thing is only to do with
life what we ought, and what is suited
to each of its stages: do all enjoy them
and suppose these two rules amount
10 the same thing
To die is serious thing; to live is far
more serious. Living we accumulate
the evidence that shall be used against
us when we pass, through death to the
judgment. Learn to think seriously of
life that you may think seriously of
death.
