Mr.. CROSBY A
DETERMINIST

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
One of my small vanities consists
in the desire not to be considered
vain. Your reports OF certain pub
lie hearings have recently enormously
quoted me In terms which would sug-
gest, at least, a mild case of megalo-
mania.
Now sustained anger>Or sustained
vanity become impossible to him who,
in philosophy, is a Determinist. Mo
mentary and unreasoning, or so-called
Instructive, Pushes of anger or other
such passions, are, Of course, pos
sible even to the most determined
Determinist, but as soon as the tenn
pestuous and temporary movement
has passed. the Determinists princi-
pies ineXorably destroy both anger
and vanity.
1t is barely possible that some Of
your readers may not have thoroughly
studied the philosophy which is indi-
Gated by the term determinism. Let
me indicate it in a few words.
The grain Of gust and the solar sys-
tenn are absolutely of equal value
measured in the reason of things, be-
cause both are absolutely essential to
the existence of the universe, and the
solar system is not more essential
than the grain of dust.
So the mutterings of the idiot and
the rhapsodies OF the genius are one
and equal from the point of view that
both are absolute and inexorable in
cidents to the fated life of the uni
verse.
In the daily newspapers. which must
concern themselves about trolley af-
fairs. lynchings, market fluctuations,
baseball and tariff changes. there can
be small space given for the discus
sion of these topics which lie so near
to my own heart
/ / advert to them now only to LET
it appear that your reporters may fee
sure that howeer their ears may de.
ceive them, they are not hearing, il
any interview with me or speech b,
me, the words Of one for whom vanity
is possible.
Respectfully yours,
~

OF the fourteen leading casualty and accident
insurance companies investigated by a committee
of the National Association of Insurance Commits
sioners in session at Detroit only three are pro-
nounced free from wholesale fraud, perjury, for
gerry and other crimes in robbing the holders of
claims. This is a startling arrangement and 1t is
a justification of the interference by the state
with the business of these large corporations. Yet
we presume that if the government national or
state, attempts TO regulate them in the interest
Of the pubic, the cry will go up that the innocent
stockholders are the sufferers and that the insur-
ance companies resenting such interference will
engage in marking time.

The Standard
in Butter Quality

In food products, as in
other things nowadays, there
is always a brand which rep
resents the standard by which
other goods in the same line
are measured.
For instance, Acadia But
ter is the standard here at
home by which other butter
is measured. You've prob
ably heard your grocer or
your marketman say that his
butter is Gust as good as
Acadia"
1t doesn't follow that he is
right, of course, but it does
show that Acadia is the
standard by which he mea-
sures other butter.
AS a matter of fact this is
as it should be. Acadia But
ter represents the highest
standard of excellence in but
ter making. 1t is superior in
taste and firmness and con-
tains less moisture (and
therefore less water) than
any other butter on the mar
ket today.
1t comes to you in hermeti-
cally sealed packages, by
which the flavor is easily
maintained. And il is made
almost at your door in
creamery that is the pride
of the entire State.
And so that's what the
name Acadia represents. If
your grocer doesn't happen
to keep it land all frst-class
grocers do) telephone us and
we'll deliver it &c, your door
one pound or more.

S. W. d. asks what was the largest
locomotive ever built. Perkins says he
has a friend who spent a purple even
ing in Chester last week, and walked
out to Eddystone to cool off in the cold
gray dawn. Returning to town he told
of visit to the Baldwin plant whers
he saw what was probably the largest
locomotive ever built He described il
as being two hundred feet long, with
boiler forty-eight feet in diameter
He said further that the locomotive
was so strong that there we're no
/ trains heavy enough for il to pull and
when they got steam up in it th7
wheels Just went around and around
and around.
Perkins says his friend watched the
wheels going around for nearly two
hours and says that the engineer was

ing a green monkey with red striped

under the boiler consisted Of small
yellow and peculiarly active frogs. We
! presume, therefore, that this is the

 'All right. We'll have the trunk re- moved,' said MT. Way, ringing for the porter. The porter took a truck and went up to the room and returned shortly after with an empty truck and the only vestge of baggage with him was an extremely large pocketbook. . styIo al present very popular.
 Where's the trunk?" asked Mr. Way.
 This is all the baggage there was in the room,' said the porter, placing the pocketbook on tE 'esls.

Keeping Correct Time

From the Montreal Standard
 Professor Turner had been spending vacation in Egypt to supervise the erec- ton of telescope at Helonan. Captain Lyons, who was in charge of the instru- ment, said that he had found that at noon every day a gun was fired, and was anvious to know how the system worked. Accordingly, he interviewed the gunner aud asked how he knew when to give the signal.
 "Oh. look at my watch" said the official.
 And how do you correct your watchys asked the captain.
 q take 1t to the maker in Cairo an1 he tells me the error"
 Forthwith Captain L~ors interviewed the watehmaker and asked him how he checked the error of the watch.
 q get the correct time from the gun," said the simple craftsman. And thus time was told in Egypt.

Those comments must reward David Belasco for the pains he took in building that remark able scene, the properties of which were purchased from just such a house that in which Laura Murdock is SUD- posed to make her trial of the more dif- ficult way.
 "The Dollar Princess" by the ex- quisite melody of it's score and the genial humor of its book, proved itself the strongest magnet for audiences of all sorts that any New York theatre has had on it's stage last season. This really musical and really comical musi- cal comedy remained at the Knicker- booker theatre for 10 months. The same production will be seen at the Jefferson theatre soon.
