Liszt and HeIaoIand.

Of Helguland one has ;m unexpected glimpse ill Rudolf Lehmann's rcmi- niscenceS. published over twenty years ago.
 The artist went to Helgoland in 1S49 and found LiSzt, the great pianist. staying in that most bracing of Wa tering places-a barren rock some 10C feet high and scarcely two miles in cir. conference in the midst of the North sea-"
 There were. besides Liszt, half doZ, en we'll known people staying in Hel- sOland. and Lehman calls it "thiS en- chanted island" He says it is formed of bright rcd sandstone. so soft that the sea. washing away some of its base. is dyed red for some distance.
 Since Lord Salisbury ceded the little island tn Germany at least E20,0O0,00C were spent in fortifying Iel@oland.- London Chronicle.

Man the Hvpocrika.

Man is poor. weak biological speci- men. He spends his life making good resolutions and formulating strict eth ical codes for the guidance of himself and his fellows. These ethical codes, consisting in the main of restrictions upon his pleasure, he shouts from the housetops in the most public manner possible.
 Hardly does he utter them, however, than he sets about ill surreptitous ways to disregard them. Such is man. It is not so much that he leadeth a double life, but that he Ieadeth a single hypO- critical life.-Life

Noveliat gfar ynriahta.

John GalsworthY and Horace Nachell both wrote novels long before the theater attracted them. Twenty years ago the successful British dramatiSt was generally entirely man of the theater. He had either, begun life as an actor, like Sir Arthur Pinero and R. c. Carton. or he had written exclu- sively for the stage. like Henry Arthur Jones and HaddOn Chambers.
 More recently the successful play wright has usually bealln by being a successful novelist. This is trae of Sir James Barrie, Mr. Zangwill and Hall Caine, as well as of MT. Gals worthy and Mir. VacheiJ. W. s. Maug- ham wrote one remarkable novel be- fore he wrote successful plays.

COUNCIL WORKING
ON POLE REMOVAL
Committee Investigating Into
Pole Elimination Makes
Much Progress

The elimination of telegraph poles
in Front street and the replacing of
the antiquated arc light system along
the thoroughfare by modern electric
light standards recently discussed by
Council, had caused considerable COM
ment on the part of prominent resi-
dents of the borough.
A committee from Council of which
I. T. McEntee is chairman, is request
ing the assistance of the electrical
companies whose poles are located in
the street. Council will ask these
companies to remove the poles to
River alley. Much progress has been
made by the committee in the last few
weeks and n report on the project
will be made probably at the next
meeting of Council.
Front street at present is nothing
more than a net work of electric
wires. This thoroughfare is used by
tourists from many parts of the State
who gain their impression of hewhole
town by the appearance of its main
street. Various organizations of the
town are becoming interested in the
move and are endorsing Councils ac-
ton for improving the thoroughfare.

labor and materials, which, he said,
had affected the manufacture of paper.
Mr.. Smith said that the present
price of paper would not look so high
if manufacturers had not in other
years charged too little. He asserted
that the manufacturers did not know
their own manufacturing costs in pre-
vious years and had failed to figure
on a proper return for money in
vested.
The manufacturers did not have the
precise figures which the publishers
sought from them in support of the
assertion that their prices are justified.
The seriousness of the situation was
shown by the intense earnestness of
those who spoke and of those who
only listened. Meals were forgotten.
No one left his seat until o'clock last
night. when Mr.. Mead, of the manu-
facturers. who acted as chairman,
warned publishers who are to meet
with a paper manufacturer at Mime
apolis to-day that they must hurry or
else miss their train.

DAY OF PENNY
PAPER is GONE
Maker of News Print Declares
Cost Will Forbid Low
Price

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-An informal
conference of a hundred or more
newspaper publishers with several
manufacturers of news print paper
was held here yesterday.
Those present, representing the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation and the Print Paper Manu-
facturers' Association, voted to ap-
point committees to meet Immediately
after delivery of the report on the
print paper situation next week by the
Federal Trade Commission to see if
knowledge gained from the report
points the way to an adjustment of
the problem.
The publishers agreed that the pres
ent high price of paper has placed
the newspaper publishing business in
a position so hazardous and menacing
that u remedy must be found without
delay
The manufacturers asserted that the
increased cost of production justified
present prices. Many of the publish
ers favored an agreement by both sides
to abide by any price set by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. 1t would have
to be a gentlemen's agreement, as the
commission has power only to investi-
gate. as was explained by Commission
ers w. J. Harris and Joseph L. Davies,
who were present.
Day of Penny Paper Gone
After the conference was called to
order MIR. Smith said that in his
opinion the price of print paper never
again would reach a point which would
justify 1-cent newspapers. lie touched

Female of the Species
More Talkative Than the
Male? There's a Reason I!

Women have the reputation of be-
ing takers, and it's a mighty good
thing they are, for it is through the
mother that the children learn to talk.
L am willing TO place the mother
against the six best teachers in this
city, and the mother will teach the
child more English than the teachers" !"
So declared DIR. Reuben Post Hal
leck, author and lecturer, of Louis
vile, KY, in his address to the city
teachers this morning on the subject
Everybody a Teacher of English" "
English is the tool with which we
have TO work, and if we do not know
it, we won't teach WE'LL" said he.
In the course of his lecture to the
teachers at the fourth day of institute
DIR. Halleck urged his audience to
lombard their children's ears with
good English. Pour in such good
English that the slang that they hear
on the street will turn up its toes and
die" he said.
The other speaker on the program
was DIR. Guy NJ. Whipple, of the Uni
versity of Illinois. His topic was The
1Problem of the Gifted Child" He de-
clared there should be more special
classes for the gifted child. The
words special class have come too
Glasses for the gifted child have been
submerged entirely too much in the
past" he said
The devotional exercises were in
charge of the Rev. Homer S. May.
pastor of the Fourth Reformed
Church. The devotions were in keep
ing with the memory of Miss Glennen.
a teacher of this city, whose funeral
took place this morning. Superintend-
ent Frederick f. Downes announced
the final day of institute for March 10,
when DR.. w. d. Chambers, of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh. and DR.. Andrew
Thomas Smith, of West Chester State
Normal School. will be the speakers.
