How It Was Meant.

Ofvcourse. Mr.. Carnegie had no
thought of assuming a patronizing
attitude in making his offer, but If
he had stopped to think long
enough, and 1.-THE had re-read some
Of the pages of his own book on
Triumphant Democracy" ne would
have foreseen the revolving aspect
OF his proposal, and then he would
never have made it.
When a man has occupied the
office of president of the United
States, the greatest office in the
world, he is not afterward an OBJ
ject of charity, even if his pockets
should happen to be empty, which
is not likely ever to be the case.
But if it be true that our presidents
have to expend, in order to main
tain the dignity OF their position,
more money than their salary af-
fords them, then it is the PEG
Plies duty to see that they do not
suffer in consequence The simple
and dignified remedy is to increase
the salary. or provide a pension
from the revenues Of the govern
ment. If Mr.. Carnegie should be
permitted to furnish money out Of
his private resources, the whole
world would, justly, point the finger
of scorn at this great common
wealth
Rich Mans Philosophy.
Perhaps we owe a vote Of thanks
to Mr.. Carnegie for shocking us
into a realization of the situation.
Possibly he intended his offer SIM
ply as rebuke to our neglect-if
we have really been neglectful.
Anyhow, it is more kind to him to
assume that he had that intention
than to take his proposal as an in
dication that he believes that the
American people need a Maecenas,
rich man to pay their debts and
maintain their dignity.
This is beyond question a money

woman is at her best. Certainly
she is midway between youth and
age, and has some of the charms
and advantages Of both. but her
youth is the youth Of sophistication.
1t is a time when she calls art to
the aid Of nature, when the bright
ness of her eyes, and the roses on
her checks, and the redness of her
lips, and the gold of her hair owe
something to the corner drug store;
when she enthuses over things with
malice aforethought, and loves with
her head instead of her heart.
1t is an age at which a woman is
most dangerous because she knows
with deadly certainty what she
wants and is coldly calculating in
her way of getting it. 1t is an age
at which woman marries for an
establishment instead of a hus-
band, and when she would rather
have a string Of pearls than
hearts devotion.
Forty is the age Of the sur
vival of the best fitted among wom-
en-. All the others have gone into
the discard. 1t is the age at which
the business woman is at her best,
when she is sanest, most comradely
and most interesting. II is the gold
en- age also of the spinster, who has
given up the struggle to be fas-
cinator OF men and absorbed herself
in other pursuits. Many women
who have been unattractive in
youth at middle age have an In
dian summer of loneliness of mind
and person that their springtime
never knew.

TIME American people needed
just such a shock as the rich
Mr.. Carnegie administered
the other day. 1t has helped to
clear the atmosphere and to give q
stimulating flip to the spirit of in
dependence which has made this
country what it is. 1t has caused
the American people to wake up to
two important facts-first, that
they ought to look out for their
own dignity in caring for their pub
lie servants, and, second, that
money is not everything, nor even
the greatest of things, in American
eyes.
The idea Of having an ex-presi-
dent of the United States, or the
widow of an x-president, made
comfortable for life by the bounty
of an ultra-rich individual is alb
horrent to our entire social and po-
litical system. Very wealthy per-

RAILROAD STRIKE
Lord Mayor of Newcastle In
tervenes and Compromise
Is Expected Soon.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-A speedy set
tlement of the strike of locomotive
engineers on the Northeastern rail-
road is now hoped for, as the Lord
Mayor of Newcastle has intervened
in an effort to arrange terms be-
tween the company and the men. A
wide section of England has been
disturbed by the trouble on the rail-
road. Although only 5000 or 5000
railroad workers have left their en-
ployment, the stoppage of all traffic
has rendered idle four times that
number of coal miners, while many
factories also have been forced to
shut down, imposing upon the work
ing people great hardship, all the
greater because of the approach of
Christmas.
The announcement made today by
the Amalgamated Society of Rail
way Workers that the strike is "un-
authorized and unrecognized' by the
union and the consequent absence of
strike pay have acted as a cold water
douche to the strikers.
At the same time the Northeastern
Railroad Company holds out an olive
branch to the men. offering to rein
state the locomotive engineer who
was reduced in rank as punishment
for being found intoxicated while off
duty after the lapse of a period of
a year if his conduct in the mean
time is satisfactory. The strike
began on December 7.

EUROPE MAY FIGHT
ANTITRUST POLICY
Sir Edward Grey's Note Con-
sidered as Warning from
Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-The
warning in Sir Edward Grey's Pan
anna note that the British govern
ment will protest further in case an
attempt is made to enforce that sec
tion of the Panama act which pro-
hibits the use of the canal by rail-
road-owned or trust-controlled ships
may, it is thought here, indicate a
formidable European opposition to
airy attempt by this government to
extend the operations of the Sherman
antitrust act beyond the confines of
the United States.
1t is known that the British en-
bassy is closely watching the devel-
opments in the pending suit against
the transatlantic steamship lines,
though it is not expected to enter a
formal protest against the attack
upon British shipping interests until
the legal proceedings comes to an end
with a decision against the British
companies.
The German government also is
moving toward the creation of a
monopoly in the domestic sale of
petroleum regardless of implied
warnings that this might in some
way fall within the scope of the Sher
man anti-trust act and the French,
Italian and Austrian governments are
administering their tobacco monoplies
without the slightest fear of the out
come of the investigation about to be
made by select senatorial commit
tee. All these governments are pro-
ceeding along parallel lines, though,
of course, there is no external evil
dence of concerted action up to this
point

BLAMES BUSINESS
LOSS ON ARCHIBALD
William P. BoIand Charges In
dicted Judge Worked
With Railroads."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Attor-
neys for Judge Robert w. Archibald,
of the Commerce Court, on trial be-
fore the Senate court of impeach-
ment for alleged use of his official
position to secure favors from rail
read end other litigants before mis-
court, We're prepared when the trial
was resumed today to make a further
effort to show that William P. Boil
and, of Scranton, had been instru-
mental in drawing Judge Archibald
into the so-called Katydid culm bank
deal.
Mr.. Boland, who, with his brother,
c. G.. Boland, was chief owner of the
Marian Coal Company, testified yes
terday that he had gone about getting
proof that Judge Archibald was
working with the railroads." and
admitted that in order to do this he
had suggested various steps by which
Judge Archibald became directly con-
nected with the alleged effort to Sc
cure from the Erie Railroad Com
pany an option on it's share of the
Katydid culm dump.
Mr.. Boland was by far the most
picturesque witness. of the impeach-
ment trial. He declared Judge Arch
bald had been responsible for all
the troubles" of the Marian Coal
Company, and admitted he had gone
to members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and to the attor-
lit
against Judge Archbald's conduct.
The investigation that resulted in the
jurist's impeachment was based
largely upon the complaints and evil
dence submitted by Mr.. Boland.

JEWS GAVE WORLD
MOST GREAT MEN
So Declares Rev. Madison C.
Peters, of NJ. Y, to Wilkes
barre Y. M. C. A.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. H.
That the Jewish race has given to
the world more great men in proper
tion to its numbers than any other
race in the history of the world was
the statement of the Rev. Madison
c. Peters, of New York city, in one
of the most forceful and convincing
addresses ever delivered before the
Mems Club of the local Y. M. C. A.
yesterday.
He vigorously condemned the
prejudice against the race of people
whom he depicted as being one of the
greatest factors in the development
of civilization and in the foundation
and advancement of the American
republic. DIR. Peters laid particular
stress on the part the Jews played in
the making of America He stated,
and quoted authorities to prove his
assertion, that it was not Isabel of
Spain who pawned her jewels, who
fitted out the great expedition of Co
lumbus, but that Luis de Santangel,
Jew, advanced the necessary funds
for the expedition.

After hearing what has been said,

He inferred that several of the COM
mittee members were trying to deny
statements that were made when the

that if they had been misquoted they
had right and should have demand
ed a retraction.
Attention was called to the reports
of Superintendent of Buildings Will

the third floor be abandoned; that of
Supervising Architect Ernest G. Gull

considerable fire hazard, and that OF
Superintendent Gasser, of the Bureau
of Combustibles and Fire Risks, who
pointed out three actual fire hazards.
that Captain Gasser merely reported
on the. heating and lighting arrange
ments and the school kitchen. All
these reports, showing beyond a
doubt that there is danger in the
tottering bhilding, were passed on by
the commissioners without comment.

"A report from one public depart
ment to another public department
on a matter of so serious a nature
means more than it says on it's face"
was the comment made by John
Montieth, a former member of the
board, and one of the Elliott Street
School committee members.
Dr. Wiclls Washburn, another MEM
Der of the committee, referring to the
danger of fire, related how the effect
of fear of such dangers had cost the
loss of thirteen lives of school chill
dren in New York city. Such fears,
he said, are entertained by scholars
at the Elliot Street School, to a point
of where they are begging not to be
sent to school, 1t was at this point
that it was declared that should any
thing of this nature occur here the
parents would themselves be respon-
sible.
Other members of the committee
pointed out the defects of the build
ing which they found in their many
inspections of the structure.
