GREATEST BIBLE LIBRARY.
Wonderful Collection Is That Owned
by the General Theological Seminary.

In the General Theological semi
nary is to be seen the largest and most
complete collection of Bibles in this
country, probably in the world. In
the Bible room on the second floor
arranged on the shelves or displayed
in show cases, they exhibit scarcely a.
lack of any of the famous editions Of
the world
The valuable collection originated
with John Pintard, who started it by
purchasing the volumes from his own
funds and from funds he collected for
the purpose He secured several i'm
portant copies, including one of the
famous Jay polyglot edition, but the
collection remained inadequate in both

Dean Hoffman then interested the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the two men
purchased the collection and present

in the world in its number of editions,
but still many important Bibles were
not represented Dean Hoffman un-

New York-With denunciation of

busy evening which he employed
chiefly in speechmaking at three diff

Mr.. Taft waxed more incisive in COM

are fitted for popular government, It,"
he said. "Some of US don't dare say
so, but do, and the question whether
people is fitted for popular self-gov-

that the minority can place upon the
majority to see that justice is DONE

"You must bear in mind that this

speaking for it are many. What
call your attention to is that it is nee

EIgin Butter Board Forcing Up
Prices at Chicago.

Chicago Sixty-cent butteri Chi
cagoans faced such possible record
breaking situation Wednesday, when
the retail price of Elgin creamery
butter-the staple Of the market
reached AZ cents in many stores-the
highest price in, the city's history,
dealers declared-and promised to go
much higher within the next few days.
The wholesale price. 42s cents a
pound, fixed by the Elgin Butter
board, broke all wholesale records for
"a years, and commission men de-
clared that advances in the price which
would place it high above the present
point, seemed inevitable.
This addition to the high cost Of
living is blamed by some interested
men to the scarcity of butter, while
other persons ascribe it to an alleged
trust which is already under investiga-
ton by Federal authorities, or to a
corner by Easter houses.
The Elgin butter barons raised the
price in one day cents. The advance
was communicated to the Chicago
wholesale market Immediately and had
no sooner been shifted to the retail
trade than it was tried on the con.
sumer-the only one who cannot shift
the burden.
Chicago retailers are charging ar
average of about As cents pound foi
fresh butter, and are ready to increase
the price as quickly as the butte
board gives the word.
Retailers are agreed that the pric,
would not stop short of so cents ant
one dealer ventured to say that 81
cents pound would not hold it
An injunction to restrain member
of the Chicago Butter & Egg boar
from continuing to fix the prices o
food will be sought in the Fedora
court, as a result of their acquiescini

Paper plates for Animal Pets.

Using paper plates for animal pets
will be found to be good plan. Some
people do not take the care to wash
plates kept for dogs and cats, al
though they should be kept scrupu-
lonsly clean and be used for no other
purpose. Paper plates. which may
be bought by the hundred for but lit.
tie money. may be burned after they
have been used. 1t is also good
idea to have piece of zinc put on
the back porch. where the pets are
likely to be fed, and place the dishes
cleaned
