great centers of population have i'm
mense interests at stake The or
ganization is entirely foreign to the
genius of this country. In all the ma
tive ramifications of evil there is
nothing quite like 1t. In its every
aspect it represents a quality of
crime essentially foreign. And yet
this foul system, born of conditions
that have no place with us, has been
successfully transplanted, and thus
far has grown and 1ourished with the
rankness Of a poisonous weed.
1t is to be hoped that the New York
officials will be able to make the most

the operations of the society until its
remaining leaders have been appre-
hended. With the principal charac-
.ers once delivered over to summary
punishment, the organization will sue
cumb, since its real power lies in the
control Of their personality. In ev-
cry band Of this order there is an
arch emissary who is the keystone to
the structure. He is the directing
mind. without whose leadership the
blindly obedient followers are incap-
able Of action.
Not the least interesting and hope
fult phase of the matter is to be
found in the fact that Costabile was
arrested by one Of his own country

served under the brave Petrosino,
whose life paid the penalty for his
relentless pursuit Of the black hand
in America and Italy. 1t will be to
Carrao as a richly deserved reward.

THE LAST TERRITORIES.

The admission to statehood Of Ari-
coma and New Mexico is interesting
because they are the last Of the
contiguous national territory to be
elevated from the national to local
self control. The history Of the two
new states is interesting.
Made a territory thirteen years
earlier than Arizona, New Mexico be-
comes the forty-seventh state, while
Arizona will constitute the forty
eighth. At one time Arizona formed
a part Of New Mexico but by the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1S4s
the section north of the ella river
was ceded to the United States by the
Mexicans, while the district south Of
the river anne into the possession Of
the government through the Gadsden
purchase. which was approved in
1854.
The discovery and the opening Of
the rich mining fields in that terri
tory followed and the country began
to be settled by Americans. BY
act of congress on February "a, 1863,
Arizona was made a territory and on
December 20 Of the same year the
territorial government was formally
organized at Navajo Springs. Begin
ming with a few years after that Ari-
IONA almost continuously asked for
statehood.
The history Of New Mexico reaches
back further. Mexico having thrown
of the yoke Of Spain in 1882, New
Mexico then became a Mexican pro-
vince. In 1924 it was made a Mexican
territory and in 1886 a department. It
remained thus until it was seized by
General Kearney in 1886 in the name
Of the United States.
On November Is, 1850, New Mexico
was organized as a territory through
an agreement by Texas to the New
Mexico boundary under the act OF
congress-. approved September 9 Of
that year. In 1863 western New Mexi-
co became the territory Of Arizona
and in 1865 a northern strip was an
nexed to Colorado.

Lfppincott's September Number.

The recent substantial increase in
the size of Lippincott's magazine af-
fords room for an alluring table of
contents this month. The complete
novel is by Carolyn Wells, whose de-
tective stories are live matter all

GUS sales of her latest book, THE
Gold Bag" On its heels comes this
new novel. His Hand and Seal" pub
lished complete in the September Lip
%pincott's. Its scenes are all right in
New York city; and you will welcome
the familiar and magnetic Fleming
Stone, the detective, who is again to
the fore in telling fashion. The plot
is ingenious enough to battle the most
acute, and up to almost the very last
the question "who did it" will not
down.
The eight short stories show hui
nervousness or humanness. or both,
as in "The Friendship of Alanna," by
Kathleen Norris, so natural and anus

Douglas. What Happened to Jack

ing story Of a lost wallet-told over

tive new features of Lippincott's is
the monthly publication of a short
story masterpiece. The translation

POLICE AND THE BLACK HAND.

II in the arrest Of Costabile, the
Fox" the New York police have laid
their hands upon the real leader of
tho black hand society in that city. the
importance Of the capture can hardly
be overestimated, since 1t signalizes
the frst genuine victory Of the powers
Of the law in ito long but u~nsuccess-
full attempts to cope with the greatest
menace presented by any organization
Of crime in this country.
The conduct Of Costabile following
his capture affords it's own testimony
that he is the man the police were
after. He first cringed, and then
threatened. This sequence Of bear
ing illustrates both the weakness and
the power of the society. As an in
dividual. Costabile recognized his
helplessness in the clutch OF the pow
ers Of law and order. But there came
at once the thought Of the malefic
powers OF the society with which he
was Joined. whose banded career o.
crime had gone on here with scarce
ly less success than in the land OF
its origin, where every effort to cope
with its doings have been fruitless.
1t was the sense of this that embold-
ened him to utter his threats, in
which he declared than not only Car
fao. but every man instrumental in
bringing about his detention, would
be as surely condemned to death as
the other chosen victims who refused
to submit to the levy of black mail or
stood in the way Of the purpose of
the society.

AT THE HELM IN GERMANY.

Is Herr Won Observation-Disclosures a
second Bismarck or a four-dusher?
That is the pivotal question with re-
spect to the outcome Of the Moroccan
negotiations. Should it turn out that
in the person of her new foreign
minister Germany has found a man
who dares. the day Of eventualities
will have dawned. But if Kiderlen-
Waechter marches down the hill he
marched up with such a show of bel
ligerency, Germany will emerge from
the controversy abashed and humili-
ated. K~iderlen-Waechter's masterful
initiative raised the hopes of the
pan-Germans and all other parties ex-
cept the socialists, and the pressure
upon the foreign minister to make
good his demands upon France Is
something tremendous. Great Brit
aims warning had no cooling effect
on the ardor Of the Germans, though
Observation-Disclosures saw reason to
modify the severity of his tone to-
ward France. The prolonged period
of the negotiations Is regarded as an
other hopeful sign, as If to give Ger
many opportunity t9 retire in good Or
der, a difficult matter with an I'M
yielding France in front and an in
sistent body of war sentiment over
tapping the rear.
K~iderlen-Waechter is old in the di-
plomatic service, but rather new to
the duties and responsibilities Of the
high place he now occupies. Since
his elevation the minister has figured
most creditably in various diplomatic
bargainings, notably the recent Rus
so-German agreement as to disputed
Jurisdiction in Persia. He stands
high in the confidence of the en-
peror. who is lacking in diplomatic
f1nesse, while ~Kiderlen- Waechter's
assertiveness marks him in the eye
OF the people as the man destined to
give Germany the status as a world
power she enjoyed under the old
regime.
Germany's financial resources have
been put to such a strain in the de-
velopment of her military establish
ment that it would seem impractic-
able to keep up the pace much long
er. France has her neighbor at a
disadvantage in this important par
ticular. Heavy Withdrawals of French
deposits in the Berlin banks are re-
ported. and big inducements are held
out to banks in New York and other
centers to make deposits in the. Ger
man banks. A lean war chest ought
to make for peace; but the strenuous
efforts to bring in gold from the out
side holds another significance. II
Germany Is ever to assert herself, the
time is come. Why go through the
exhausting process of getting ready,
only to give up without a struggle in
the end? The emperor's recent allu-
eion. in a speech. to building more
warships as a means Of putting Ger
many in the place she is entitled to
occupy is accepted as indicative of a
faint heart in that quarter; but If
Kiderlen- Waechter is a real Bis
marck. the emperor will find himself
pushed over the line. as was his
grandfather before him.

Planets Larger iAan The Sun.

Astromers have made some pro
gress toward showing what is the
largest object in sight. The earth
is small, and the sun, $4,000 miles
diameter, has over a million times
its bulk-but the sun is not one of
thu largest stars. In brightness
Sirius is equal to forty suns, Capella
to 22O Antaras 70 900, Arcturus to
300 and Canopus, in the southern
hemisphere, to 10000.
Little is known Of the actual diam
et4r and mass Of the stars, but
Myers has found evidence that one
binary has components that are each
more than 1909, coo miles III diam
eter, with masses ten and twenty
one times that Of the sun. Even this
is small compared with the apparent
size Of the nebulae.
Though the computation is very
! uncertain the great nebula in Orion
is thought to be about 1000 light
years distant, and If SO, its diameter
is twenty-five OF thirty light years
that is the distance across this object
is about seven times that Of the
nearest fixed star from the earth,
or about the same distance from US
Of the star Vega.
a light year-the distance light,
at $4,000 miles a second, travels in
a year-is nearly 6.000,000,000, 600
miles, SO that the breadth of the
great nebula is approximately
18O, COO, 900, 100000 miles.
The great nebula in Andromeda is
also of inconceivable size and may
be even larger than the Orion nebula.
