FIRST THINGS

The first copy of De Orbium Coel- estium Revolutionibus," by Nicholas |Copernicus. in which he announced that the earth was a planet, that the sun was the center of the system. and that all the planets revolve around the sun,-the first statement of the most revolutionary of scientific dis coveries,-was published 369 years ago yesterday, May 26, 1543 The great founder of modern astronomy had died two days before, poor and alone, in an old hut in Frauenburg, Russia. A few hours before he expired the print CT brought him copy of his monn- mental book, but the seventy y-year-old philosopher was too i'll to do more than pass his hand caressingly over the volume He was buried on the twenty-Sixth of May, and on the same day the book that was to make his name immortal was made public. La ter the work was prohibited by the Vatican, but the decree was annulled by the papal court in 1543
 The doctrine of unconditional cleo tion and reproduction was first formu- lated in a theological system by John Calvin, who died BPS years ago today The chief doctrines or five points of the Calvinistic system are: Predesti- nation, particular redemption, total depravity, irresistible grace, and the certain perseverance of the saints. Calvin, an austere, gloomy and inf1ex- ikie character, was born in Picardy, France, in 1909, and died in his fifty fifth year, May 27, 15e4 The greater part of his life was spent in Switzer- land. The theological system he worked out is still the accepted faith of the greatest part of the Presby terians and of millions aligned with other denominations in both North America and Europe.

25,0OO ATTEND
 MILITARY MASS
IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE AT AN NUAL SERVICES ON PARADE GROUND OF BROOKLYN
 MARINE CORPS.

New York, May. 27-The tenth an- nual military mass, under the aus pices of the Gloucester Camp, No. 5, Island Chapter of the Knights of Co., lumbus, was celebrated in the pres ence of 25.0Oo people on the parade ground of the United States Marine Corps, Flushing avenue, Brooklyn, the Rev. Father Eugene E. Mcdonald, chaplain of the dreadnought North Dakota. The Rev Father John F. Chidwick, U. S. N., retired, who was chaplain of the battleship Maine and was on board that vessel when she was blown up in Havana harbor. was the deacon, while the Rev. Father William H. T. Reaney, chaplain of the dreadnought Utah, who was Dewey s chaplain in the battle of Manila. Bay, was the sub-deacon.
 Ten years ago Father Reaney and Gen. James S. Long proposed that the military mass be revived in this city. and the proposal met with a hearty response. The result has been a se- ries of annual religious ceremonies that have been among the most inn pressive and most largely attended of any similar exercises in the history of this country. Never has the at tendance at any of the masses fallen below 20.000
 The altar, which was a beautiful white structure. covered with palms, carnations, hydrangeas and ferns, was located in front of the main barracks building. In front of the altar and on the altar stand were two one pounder naval guns, draped with the American colors, while from the gal leries of the barracks hung scores of banners bearing the names of the Gloucester Camp and other organiza- tions that participated in the solemn ceremony Father Chidwick deliver ed the sermon, in the course of which he referred to the achievements of American arms ashore and afloat, and urged the duty of every man to- be loyal to his country and flag He
 paid a tribute to the men who lost their lives in the defense of the coun. try, and praised those who honor their | memories with such services as that of yesterday.

"REv. JOE" MITCHELL, "A TODAY,
 WAS MARK TWAIN'S "PASTOR'

'dead game sport:' 'I bet you the ten don't die" In telling the story, the Rev. MT. Twichell always added that the boy didn't die.
 Mark Twain was still numbered among the struggling young authors when the friendship began between the humorist and the minister that continued until the death of the for mer.
 The association of the pastor and the famous wit was not without its humorous aspects, which the Rev. day, when Mr. Clemens was ill with dysentery, he sent the Reverend a note which read:
 Religious conundum suggested by present disease. Question: If a con gress of Presbyterians is a presbytery, what is a congress of dissenters? An swer. A dyYentery.
 A diary written by the Rev. "Joe'' during the years of his close compan- ionship with Mark Twain contains in- numerable references to the genial peculiarities of the humorist It is set down that MT. Clemens bought cigars by the thousand and clay pipes by the case, and smoked constantly The cigars and tobacco, according to the Rev. MT. Twichell, were of about the cheapest quality procurable, and guests of Mark Twain found their en- durance tried to the utmost when they accepted his invitation to .'smoke up." On one occasion the Innocent at Home" entertained large party of friends, and upon leaving he in- sisted that each take a cigar. The following morning the lawn in front of the house was found filtered with exactly the number of cigars as MT. Clemens had had guests. They had lost no time. in ridding themselves of the obnoxious weeds.

chief causes of the failure of private

 output. There is absolutely no dan
 ger of this in a municipality owned
 street car system, for passengers pay
 their fares before the goods are de-
 livered. In this respect a street car
 system has an advantage over a water
 works system
 (3) Business and morals ought to
 go hand in hand. Morals in this i'm
 stance refer to the right of a munich
 pality to engage in business in which
 private enterprise also engages. In this case the morals are all on the side of the city, and the immortality on the side of a privately-ownednno- nopoly; for a street car systenpis a monopoly. If owned by the few it
 must be at the expense of the many. If owned by all, then all will be equally benefited by it.
 (fJ IOiillCdl STdIC III any DTdnc1l of municipal activity is to be deplor- ed. But even in Bridgeport it cuts only small figure. And there is no difficulty in entirely banishing it. something easier in a new than in an old activity. Put the municipality owned street car service under civil service. There will be no more poli- tics than in the school board, which employs as many persons as the Con- necticut Co.
 Even without civil service rules a municipally-owned street car system could have no more politics than in the present Connecticut Go.
 The interests notoriously maintain corporation lawyers and lobbyists who are present at every session of the General Assembly, and who have Ia finger in every legislative pie, spending money to influence cleo tions and make the government un- representative of the people.

"A FEW FACTS FOR BUSINESS MEN

h the municipal ownership and op- eration of Bridgeport's street railway system practical. Theory has its place in the world, and is the basis of practice, but practice is the thing everybody wants to know about.
 What the citizens want to know about municipal ownership of Bridge ports street railway system is:
 I. Is it financially. practicable?
 2. Can it be made economically possible?
 8. Is it morally right?
 4. Can it be freed from political grafts?
 5. Is it the best and only feasible way?
 CD Financially a municipality own ed street car system cannot fail. It is always within the power of the city to make the expense of transportation cover the cost The sure proposition in this connection is the fact that many men have grown enormously wealthy in manipulating street car systems, by proving to investors that . ive-cent fare would pay the market rate Of interest on stock and bonds from two to five times the value of the physical property. If five-cent fare will do this. then less fare will ceEtsiply pay the .expsnsss of any sys-

Although the late Mark Twain was not notably orthodox in his religious views, he had numerous friends among the clergy. Foremost among his clerical comrades, and the only one. indeed. who might have been called the pastor" of the eminent American humorist, was the Rev. Joseph Hopkins Twichell, for nearly half century the pastor of Asylum Hill Church, at Hartford, Conn.,, long the home of MT. Clemens. Early this year the Rev. Twichell announced his resignation from the pulpit in which he began preaching in 1865, just af- ter the close of the civil war, in which he served as chaplain of the army of the Potomac under Gen. Dan Sickles.
 The Rev. Twichell was born at Southington. Conn.,, seventy-four years At New Haven he made. the varsity crew and was one of the star oars- men in the Eli boat in '59. Later he attended Union Theological Seminary and had about completed his course when the war between the States be- gan. The young athlete and theo- logical student immediately volun- teered for service and was appointed chaplain of the Seventy first New York regiment.
 On one occasion the chaplain was called upon to minister to young soldier who; was said by the doctors to be dying. The Rev. "Joe"-as he was always called by his intimates- asked the wounded man if he had any last request to make.

 The chaplain did so and found a ten dollar bill. Ills asked the dying boy what disposition he wanted made of the money.

 At the moment the stock speculation is restricted and more or less apa- thetic. What has significance, how ever. is that recent heavy realizing sales were absorbed with so little ad- verse effect on prices. Bear pressure, even though temporarily successful, fails to bring about actual liquidation. The logic of the market seems to be that unafovarble developments are ephemeral while the more permanent considerations with investors are the plethora of surplus capital, the sound- ness of our banking structure, our great merchandise trade balance, our from good to brilliant crop prospects so far as the season has advanced and the apparent determination of indus try to push ahead regardless of the drawbacks of Presidential year In- deed, the indications strengthen that we are preparing to cut loose from politics-to cut loose from it as re- gards not only business but the mar kets as well.

RUBBING TT IN

Connecticut is perhaps the only state. under the stars and stripes. in which a public service corporation, engaged in operating a monopoly in street railways, would seriously claim it is impossible ''to keep people off running boards of cars upon which -'as many as s2s men stand"
 Connecticut undoubtedly has the only public service commission which would seriously receive such testi- many. and the only newspapers that editoriaIly support it.
 The difficulty in keeping running boards clear lies simply in the un- willingness of those who own the said boards to keep them clear, by fur nishing cars enough and in the com plaisance of public servants, who might compel them to be kept clear
