Secretary Meyers Chance.

Upon his return from Europe, Sec
retary of the Navy Meyer criticises the
neglect to build great battle-ship cruis-
ers similar to those which the British
and other foreign navies are construct
ing or have already in commission,
These great ships are as powerful as
the best battle ships, and have the ad-
vantage of greater speed, some reaching
as high as twenty-eight knots. Not
only have we no such ships, but it seems
that the present directors of our naval
policy are opposed to them.
But what is far more important is
what Mr.. Meyer has to say about the
treatment of the personnel in the matter
of inhicting punishment in the British
navy, in contrast with our own system
Desertion is frequent with US here, but
comparatively rare in the British serv-
ice. 1t is possible that the better treat
ment accorded the English sailor may
have something to do with this lower
percentage of desertion.
Having observed all this, the Secre-
tary of the Navy might try his hand
at inaugurating reforms which would
lessen desertions. Why not adopt a
treatment of our men similar to that
accorded the men in Great Britain, ac-
cording to Mr.. Meyers own deelara-
tions Having once acknowledged our
inferior service. the application of q
speedy remedy would seem advisable

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
HOW RUSSIA GOT sIBERIA

HOW RUSSIA GOT SIBERIA.
In 1882 Yermak, Cossack
chieftain, with a band of war
riors, chosen for their bravery
rather than for their morality"
set out to .chastise and subdue a
powerful Tartar tribe east OF the
Ural Mountains. When Gar Ivan
" heard of 1t he was badly
frightened for he feared to stir
up the fierce Tartars. He fran
tically sent orders for the expe-
ditioH to return. But he was too
late; Yermak and his men had al
ready crossed the mountains. -
When they approached the city
of Sibir, the stronghold OF the
Tartar chief, they found an army
thirty times as large as their own
awaiting them. But they were
far better equipped with arms and
ammunition than were the Tar
tars, and administered to them
a crushing defeat. Sibir was cap
tured and became the nucleus for
the expansion of the Russian en-
pire in Asia. giving the name to
the new country.

PAUL WAS GREATEST ROMAN.

DIR. Eugene May, I'm Lecture, De-
scribes Career of Apostle.
THE greatest Roman Of them ALL was
the subject chosen yesterday afternoon
by DR.. Eugene May, in a lecture at
the regular Sunday service at the Y.
NJ. c. A. building.
Though the address was for the most
part a descriptive discourse upon Italy
and the Holy Lands, the lecturer chose
the Apostle Paul as the significant figure
behind early Roman history. He de-
scribed the career Of st. Paul through
his apostolic wanderings, describing the
scenes of the apostles labors as they
were before Christ and as they are to-
day.
There was music by the Y. NJ. c. A.
quartet after the lecture, and DR.. May
led in prayer. T-e lecture hall was
crowded.

TOO MUCH LOOSE LIVING"
Rev. e. Hez SVEN Sees an Increase
in Crime Here.


I'm Crime Here.
Washington is worse than 1t has ever
been, from a moral standpoint. accord
ing to the Rev. z. Hez SVEN, pastor Of
Capital Baptist Church, who preached
last night on Should Preachers Stop
Preaching in Washington He said
he had been Investigating the subject Of
crime and loose living in Washington.
and that after a conference with the po-
lice and others whose work brings them
in touch with crime, was convinced that
crime is on the increase.
The Rev. Mr.. SVEN pointed out that
the preachers are needed more in Wash
ington at the present day than ever be-
fore. The Gospel Is warning for all
people to do right, he said, and II the
Gospel were read more in the city there
would be less sin.
THE city is sinful" he said, "and the
police can give ample proof of this. The
increase of sin in Washington is dis
grace to the residents of the city"

paDy is not willing 10 Issue a transfer
on 4 transfer, that is something we
do not do anywhere over the system
and We are not willing to issue a trans
fer on a transfer to anyone.
Questions Discussed.
The various questions involved were
taken up item by item and discussed
at great length. Col. Gilmore explain
ed 1t was the policy Of the company
not to give a transfer on a transfer nor
to give a transfer from a Public Ser
vice car to a Jersey Central car as
there Was no agreement between the
two companies covering such transfer.
He stated the operation Of their cars
to Perth Amboy was in the nature Of
an experiment to see If the travel le-
tween the two cities warranted a IF
teen minute service, that 80 far the ex-
pertinent had resulted in a loss Of
money but the situation had not been
fully developed on account Of lack Of
facilities in the way Of the switch they
were applying for. He further stated
if some mutual arrangement could not
be reached and they be relieved of
giving transfers on transfers, they
would throw the whole matter up and
discontinue the service. 1t was e1-
planned by Col. Gilmore that in pro
viding a service of this character ev-
erybody could not be perfectly salts
fed but a great many would be accom-
modated and by a discontinuanee Of
the service more would be discommo-
ded than would otherwise be if the ser
vice were continued by the granting
of this application for a switch.
The matter Of s~prinkling the tracks
was taken up and Col. Gilmore stated
he had already made arrangements to
have the tracks sprinkled by a local
party, that If 1t was necessary to run
the sprinkling car over here it could be
done but the city would be expected to
furnish the water free as was done in
other municipalities.
Matter Of Drainage.
The situation in regard to drainage
at Main street and Broadway was
taken up and discussed quite thorough
