THE WORLD IN BALTIMORE.
How Baskerville Died-An Interesting
Paper Read.

Perhaps for the first time 10 this
country the story Of the death and
funeral OF Baskerville Of Persis"
has been told at The World ia Balti-
more Missionary Exposition. Mr.
Baskerville was one of the youngest
missionary workers in the Persian
field and, with the enthusiasm of
youth, felt that his sympathies in the
troubles between Persia and Russia
could best be shown by enlisting in
the army Of the Shah. He was a
Princeton graduate under three-year
contract TO teach mission school.
after which he was to enter the min
istry as a missionary. The story of
his death at the head Of his troops is
told by Rev. q. S. Wilsol for thirty
five years a missionary in Persia who
is assisting in the PerAian section at
the Baltimore Exposition.
He was young and enthusiastic
in the cause, said DR.. Wilson, "and
there we older heads felt that there
was nothing to be done. ne felt that
something must be done. He led a
charge ons day-in an attempt to
surprise the enemy-and got 50 far
ahead of his troops that his death was
inevitable. So he dies .
DR. Wilson and the other Ameri-
can missionaries thought TO bury
their eomrade quietly, but the Persian
Mohammedians changed the customs
of untold centuries and gave him a
public, military funeral To
those who know the customs Of the
East, this is exceedingly remarkable,
as it is held contamination for Mo
hammedan to touch the body or ssthe
bier of dead Christian, and to pay
his remains respect is heresy.
Therefore, it speaks well for the
esteem in which the missionary was
held, that his bier was carried to the
burial ground by Mohammedans.
Blashfield's victory came after his
death, as is so often the case. The
Persian legislature attended the
funeral in body and the Governor of
the town said "He mas engraved his
name upon our heart and upon our
history. - -
This is only one of the dramatic
stories being told at the Baltimore
Exposition evsry day. Men from all
parts of the world, from The Congo,
from Portuguese, Cast Africa, from
the interior of Arabia. from Persia
and China and Japan and Burmah
and India, from over all the world are
gathered there. with he tales of
nations in their mouths. From one
you can get the inside story of Shu-
ster in Persia, from another the tale
of why the Manchu dynasty fell; from
another what is thought of the new
ruler of Japan.
In one section sits a missionary who
has travelled over Kipling country;
in the adjoining section one who has
spent half a lifetime in Central
Africa; in another section one who
risked his life in leper colonies, or
among the spears of the Iggorrotes in
the Philippines or the fanatic Hoslems
of the Sudan. The exposition is not
oaly a great religious gathering; it is
great gathering of the worlds
thought.

ANYTHING TO SAVE THE HAT
Lucinda Forced TO Smile az Antics of
Men Caught In Rain With New
Straw Headsear.

Il have nothing TO say against
men," said Lucinda. but really II
makes me smile TO see them in the
straw hat season when a shower
comes. AT such time you may see q
woman in all her fnery keeping calm
ly on her way quite unrufled. while
men are darting into open doorways
or starting to run. al TO protect their
precious straw hats from a few drops
OF rain. And what funny things they
do besides!
Plenty OF men when the sprinkle
begins take OF their hat and carry it
sort OF carelessly down at their sides.
as II they had taken It OF Just to cool
their fevered brow, don't you know, TO
make themselves more comfortable;
but really so that less of the hats
surface may be exposed TO the rain.
And then you may see 4 man carrying
his hat SO tilted that the rain will
fall on the under side of the brim and
not on the top and crown.
You may see some men take on
their hat and put 1t quite frankly un.
der their coat and hold that over IL
to keep It dry, while the number of
men who open out a newspaper and
hold that over their bright straw hat
is not small.
The man who holds q newspaper
over his hat tries usually to do this
with a careless air. as IL he didn't
care much about II. but thought he
might as we'll give his hat some pro.
lection. But sometimes you see a man
wrestling with q newspaper despers
Rtely.
Here. for instance. was a man who
had been standing in doorway wait
ing for a car, and who now
when he saw his car coming, clapped
. newspaper over his hat and ran out
into the rain. Heavy business this
was, for he had to hold that news
paper on with one hand while he
grabbed for the handhold on the side
OF the car with the other. And after
all / know he must have found that
his hat had been ruined when he
got aboard.
"But here was another man, who
with the aid of a newspaper was keep
ing his hat absolutely dry. He had
carefully and completely wrapped his
hat up in newspaper. and now here
he was with his hat SO wrapped and
carried under his arm, walking bare
headed down Broadway
Really, 1t does make me smile
when / see what men do with their
hats when q shower comes."-New
York Times.

iJ. had something of right on his side when he denounced college life tor boys. There are too many stu dents who are idle, snobbish, vic ious, profligate of the clock as well as money; boys who spend more time on the cinder path than that of learning; rounders who run down to New York and are caught by the claws of the Holsters they feed to chorus girls
 But there is another class, grown almost to a small army, of young fellows whose quest of learning dig uiGies it and them They are the boys who, lacking money, buy their education with themselves; with their strength and their sweat; who spend their vacations muscular fy that their school hours may be given to brain.
 They are met and heard of every where tu the hot days when the Iayoritcs of fortune loaf and enjoy their souls. They work wherever work is to be had and have no false scruples about the nature of l.. They lift it up by doing it They are rarmhands and roustabouts on steamers: they enter mills or sit at desks or stand behind counters They do lll things that arc honest and they do them honestly. In one way the world is their college; the college of men and deeds. and, so when they get back to the college of thought and books, they are all Jhc better equipped for 1t.
 The learning that these boys get urttcrs them and the world ut large They take it with them aui keep it. increasing their store ull the time they live. They pass it on to the outside world; sometimes directly as by teaching; orteuer just through personal contact; by the uuickcutug impulse which a cultur- ed man has on those he ruOs shoulders with or even touches in passing
 Such boys are now flocking back 10 colleges and the colleges are the better for them, just as the world will be better when they get into the current of it's daily life. They make good men and good citizens. IC all college life were of their mak- ing, there would be no criticism Of it; only praise and thanksgiving Cleveland Leader.

out waist deep into the rapids a
short distance above the cataract
and pulled to shore with a pike pole
the unconscious form OF Henry j.
Smith, so years old, of Buffalo. Kew
orkian was assited by Devid Gordon
and a park constable Thomas Har-
rington. They formed a human chain
anchoring the Armenian to the shore
and enabling him to resist the cur
rent, which was especially strong
owing to the high water.
Smith was walking along the mar
row path skirting the river about 300
feet above the falls, when he missed
his footing and fell into the turbul-
ent stream. He soon became exhaust
I'd in his efforts to reach shore and
was floating with his head under
water when caught by Kevorkian
with his role less than one hundred
feet above the brink. Smith was
soon restored to consciousness.

speaking the country is lot ready to

In Alaska the condition is peculiar.
There is no one there who can build

Since there Is comparatively little

sources depends almost entirely on
railroad outlets to the coast.

Naturally, the conditions there are

that by securing first of all landa
bearing rich minerals, such capitals

worth ! lot OF i.oney by building a
railroad line to them. This also would
give them opportunity to fix their
own prices for tho products. in large
measure. For history has shown that
ownership OF q natural monopoly such

to manipulation of prices.
