SOCIETY AND HOME TOPICS FOR WOMEN
To Ha0e Ones Requiem Sung by the Wndso ot Mid Ocean

| Since Life is so short. | And | Death is so long, | Why do We make this much ado
 when the state we call Life is brought to sudden close and the mysteries de- nied to those seeing with mortal eyes are revealed to them who walk the ways of men no more? Death comes to all men soon or late.
 Riches cannot stay it; poverty can not beggar it! Where. therefore, is the sting of it -on land or on sea? Surely
 Not its suddennessl For Who would deliberately choose a lin- gerlng death or sigh to miss the trap pings of conventional funeral? Elisha caught up in "a chariot of fire" is of all time the most glorious leavetaking from the world.
 Only one other way to die could be so full of pomp or circumstance. so fitting an ending to the state called Life to the higher mystery of-Death And That is
 To die at sea! To have ones requiem sung by the winds of mid-ocean and the soul di- vested of the body, to wing it's way back to the presence of which it is a part | What more glorious end? | What more sublime? | But fear-horror?
 Why should there be any more for
 death at sea than for the ending of life on land? | The world from east to west, from | north to south was stunned by the
 terrible disaster when the Empress of
 Ireland dropped its human cargo into
 the mighty deep It Is only natural to be bowed down
 by grief, at such a terrible catastro- | phc.

air are needed in the schools of New

quick, DR.. Herman Biggs, State Com

sire for publicity that school athletics

the desire to win only for the sake Of
winning and the alleged tendency Of
sports TO lead 10 gambling as two
others.
John II. Finley, Commissioner OF Ed
ucation, declared he would like to see
system Of chimes installed in the
state educational building. He would
have them rung at the opening of
school each morning as an expression
of the states interest in school work.

one of the earliest of American foreign
missionaries. Sent by the Congrega-
tionaliets TO India, he changed his
views IN the voyage, and returned TO
this country TO join the Baptlsts, then
& small sect. Then began an enormous
growth Of the denomination. Later he
went to Burmah. where as a pioneer
missionary he was the victim of ter
lible persecution. Shortly before his
death Edward was born, and when he
was sent back here the Baptists prac-
tically adopted him.
From Brown University he was grad
uated in 1865. He taught school in
Townshend, VI, and then went TO

turned 10 the United States in 1875 to
be ordained into the Baptist ministry.
He preached in Orange, n. j., for six
years and then came to Washington
Square.
The Berean Church was the name OF
il and il was moribund. He struggled
for ten years before he could get the
denomination to build the JudsOn Me-
mortal as q triSGte to his father. John

tor. A prosperous apartment house, at

cago. lie was a lecturer on Baptist
rrinciples and polity at Union Theo-
logical Seminary for the next three
wears, and at the time Of mis- death was
Professor Of pastoral theology at Col
gate.
Whenever Baptist colleges were
seeking new presidents DR.. Judson was
sure 10 be mentioned. He was proml-
nently considered at various times by
Brown and Colgate, but he preferred TO
remain in Washington Square: Colgate

trustee of Brown and Vassar. He was
q member of the Century Club and the
Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Delta Pm

SAYS AIN WAS TO
MONOPOLIZE STEEL

Philadelphia. Oct 23.-Henry +. Col
ton, special assistant to the Attorney
General, took up the entire day in the
Federal District Court here giving rea-
sons why the United States Steel Cor
poration should be dissolved.
He did not agree with counsel for the
defence that the formation of the Steel
Corporation was the natural outcome
of conditions in the iron and steel trade
prior to 1901, when the concern was
chartered in New Jersey, following the
combination brought into existence by
five groups Of interests headed by the
late j. p Morgan.
Mr.. Colton's argument was largely
technical, and went back more than
twenty years to build up the case. He
argued that there was sharp competi-
ton among the steel companies until
they were absorbed by the big con-
Germ, which, he said, was clearly
thought-out scheme 10 monopoliZe
the iron and steel trade. The main
tenance Of high prices year after
year was an indication, he said, that
the Steel Corporation had a powerful
influence In the trade and that II actu-
ally monopolized the business TO a great
extent.

EXPERIENCE" Got
CIVIL SERVICE JOB
Municipal Lodging House
Head Succeeded Man
OuSted on His Report.

W. A. Whiting, superintendent OF the
Municipal Lodging House, according to
his testimony yesterday before the
State Civil Service Commission, was
appointed on the strength of having
passed one oral examination of which
no stenographic record was kept The
examination, he said, had TO do with
his experience as a social worker and
the results Of his investigation into
conditions existing in the lodging
house a year ago.
Regardless of the fact that the rules
of the Municipal Civil Service require
that stenographic records of all oral
examinations must be made, the only
record the authorities have CT Whit
ing's qualifications is an experience
sheet" which every applicant for such
a place must make out Whiting was
appointed superintendent shortly after
he had compiled the report for Chart
ties Commissioner Kingsbury, upon
which his predecessor, Bernard York,
was removed.
In the course of the inquiry, Whit
ing testified that man possessing
more than 90 cents is not admitted
to the lodging house.
"Since the lodging house is intended
for the destitute, how can you admit
men who have as much as 30 cents ~
asked Chairman Neu.
ave house fellows who are going
away on the train 10 get work" an
swered Whiting I'VE think that it is
better TO take in fellow with 80 cents
who is going to work in the morning
than fellow with nothing who IS not
going to work, because the fellow who
is going to work will be so much OH
our hands"
SiRmund Simons, assistant superin-
tendent of the lodging house, told the
commission that the only examination
he took before entering the Charities
Department was as hospital helper"
Chairman Neu pointed TO bulge IN
Simons's hip pocket and asked, what
is thatw Simons took a revolver from
his pocket and laid it on the table,
saying, 81 have a permit to carry IT,
lie secured most of the evidence re-
sulting in Superintendent York's re-
moval, and said that since that time
he found it advisable to carry gun,
because he had many enemies as re-
suit of working against York.

rartment of Public Works, told the
court that he had been appolhteu 40
AN "aXeman" to act as an assistant
