GROWTH OF POWER OF MAN.
Reflections In Sermon by Rev. Edward
Everett Hale.

The first living statistical authority
said to me not long ago that every
man who is living in any such center
of life as you and live in, controls on
the average 1000 times as much
power as his ancestor did I'm the year
1900. said Edward Everett Hale in a
recent sermon In Boston. To speak of
such a trife as steam power. In the
year 1900 all the steam engines of
the United States represented 80
horsepower.
The last trolley car that passed this
church represented more power There
Is little illustration of the increase
of human power which the wit of a
few men like James Watt and Robert
Hare and Joseph Henry have made
possible In only one of the incidents
of human life.
Try to carry out little illustration
like that, and you get some idea oil
what follows on a much larger scale
where man. the child, takes for use
the physical power intrusted to him
by God. his father.

Chinese Court Etiquette.

The regulations regarding the prince
regent have been discussed several
times. At first 1t was decided that
the grand councillors should stand
when they are received by the prince
regent. but the regent did not consent
to this and therefore 1t has been de-
cided that they will take their seats
instead of standing, while the regent
will sit In the center and the grand
councillors will take seats on the east
and west. However, the grand coun-
cilors propose now to have a throne
in the center and the prince regent
will sit on the left and the grand
councillors, after making salutation to
the throne, will sit on the western
side. and when princes and dukes are
received by the prince regent they
will kneel once and kowtow thrice
while the prince regent will receive
them standing. This proposal has beer
drafted by Pao Hsi on the order Of
Prince Ching. The prince regent has
accepted only 10000 taels month a:
his monthly expenses. while 10000
taels was proposed by the grand coun
cilors

seem to fit quite as well, but / have
heard him upon occasion use the most
beautiful English / ever heard fall
from the lips of man. He is as un-
sparing of the church sluggard as he
is of the openly sinful. He is master
of all of the adjectives in the diction-
airy and failing to find one sufficiently
expressive, he coins one, and when he
addresses himself to the task of de-
nouncing some popular evil or flag
rant vice the audience is never left
in doubt as to what he means. He
calls spade spade even in Boston,

the Scalpel," in which he stated that
because of the strong doubt that the
body brought to the Washington navy
yard was that of the man who had
assassinated the President. a commits
sion of high functionaries of the gov
ernment was formed to obtain eyi
dence as to it's Identification" Desir-
ing to complete this record, I wrote
to the War Department, asking for the
the names OF the high functionaries I"
but they replied their files showed no
record of such a commits ssion
AS / understand, the only names of
persons summoned to identify the body
are those of government employees. Dr..
May himself, after positively pro-
nouncing in the negative, and being
told ITO look again." based his identifi-
cation on scar several years old.
DR.. May also says the right leg of the
corpse was almost black because of a
broken bone. when it was Booths left
leg that was broken, as proved by the
slit boot marked y. W. b." seized at

Wages and Prices,

To the Editor Of The Star:
High wages for all worlsmen and low
prices for all consumers, Such a COM
bination is only a joke. Every raise of
wages is followed by an increase in the
cost of living. 1t is like trying to raise
yourself over the fence by pulling on
your bootstraps.. If the wages of all
are increased in the same proportion,
no harm is done. but there is no net
gain even then. The great injustice is
done when the cost OF living is doubled
and there is no increase for some par
ticular class such as the employees in
the government departments. Most of
the governments work, requiring eX-
pert knowledge and skill, is done by
the classified civil service working un-
der pitifully small salary scale adopt
ed more than sixty years ago.
