A CRY OF SPENDERS.
Life in the Brazilian Capital Place of
Sunlight and Laughter.

Rio de Janeiro is city of sunlight
and laughter, where the arts have com
bined with nature to make place OF
loveliness and content. 1t is full of
good things of life, beautiful in archi-
lecture. warm in its appeal and ire
splendent as a jewel" It reflects Eu-
ropean atmosphere, for it is from the
capitals of the old world that it draws
much of its genius and its charm. A
special correspondent of the London
Times is attracted as he enters the
harbor, which he described with en-
thusiasm:
The bay of Rio de Janeiro, entered at
dawn, is thing of wonder. have new
er seen this extraordinary panorama
ef strange peaks, pearly water, is
lands and wide flung city without find l.
ing it beautiful, but in the changing
lights of new morning it takes on a
loyeliness that is almost unearthly.

stands guard. the fort of Sac Joao at
It's foot, with Santa Cruz on the OPP
posite side, and as the transatlantic
steamer moves through this gateway
into the turquoise serenity of the inner
waters the fantastic array of noun
tains unfolds in a succession of scenes
that render infnitesimal all the evil
dences of modern science. Approaching
the shores more closely as the day
brightens. one presently perceives the
winding, belt of variegated colors that
lies along the bay, the clustering

of Sac Sebastiao.
No one calls il by this official, an
Gent name; this is Rio de Janeiro, the
princess city of Brazil, the city of lux
ury and easy spending, the intellectual.
literary, political and social center of
this immense country of over three
million square miles of territory. There
are a dozen great regions in Brazil
where widely differential industries
earn money--the rubber and hardwood
areas of the Amazon. the oil-nut and
fibre country of the great promontory
the sugar and tobacco and cotton lands
of Pernambuco and her neighbors, the
cacao groves of Bahai, the ore noun
tains of Minas Gerses. the coffee, eat
tie. pinewood and mate states farther
south the vast industrial centers of
Sac Psulo; but Rio remains the chief
place where money is spent.
Prosperous Growth.
Altogether, the population of the
capital is counted at a million and
quarter, and there are plain evidences
Of prosperous growth in the long ad-
ditions to the fine roads of the en-
.irons. Since | was last in Rio, three
years ago, the sea road beside the At

tens of thousands of public lights re
fetted in the water of the bay and the

All that the prodigal hands of ma
ture and the sedulous tools of man can
do to make Rio beautiful has been
done. Ii is true that in common with
all cities of the Americas Rio reflects

REV. MATTHEW FORT|ER
At THE CATHEDRAL
He Opened the Lenten Season Last
Night With a Timely and
Helpful Sermon.

One OF the most memorable Lenten
evening services over hold in the Cathe-
dral was that of last night, Ash Wednesday,
when the edifce was crowded with about
1000 persons, many standing in the rear.
Older members of the parish described
the sermon delivered by Rev Matthew
Fortier, $. j., as being one OF the finest
and most eloquent addresses they had
heard within the Cathedral Bishop
Monaghan was present in the sanctuary
Rosary and Benediction were given by.
Rev. Joseph Lee, assistant pastor Of the
parish Following the service, ashes were
distributed. There viii be Stations Of the
Cross at the Cathedral tomorrow night.
Saying that since Lent was time
when people were called upon TO consider
their final judgment before the tribunal of
God, and that the trials Of Christ before
four human tribunals would be fitting
subject for Lent, Father Fortier drew q
vivid word picture Of the trial Of Christ
before Annas This hearing was Illegal,
since Annas was no longer High Priest,
and gave the contrast of proftigatc and
dishonest judge presuming to try tho
Son of God In conclusion. the preacher
reminded his hearers that they could be
likencd 20 Annas whenever they instflted
the majesty of God by sin, or misjudged

OFFICIAL CHANGES
IN P. R. R. SYSTEM
Announced by Pres. Rea, Effective
March l, When Government
Relinquishes Control.

Changes in the official s.affs of the
general administrative officers of the
Pennsylvania Railroad System, at Phila-
lelphia, To take effect March L. IN con-
nection with the adoption of the regional
plan of management, We're announced
Yesterday by President Samuel Rea. The
changes involve the staffs of the President
the System Vice President, the legal
department and the secretary.
Mr.. Rea explained that in creating
the four regions of the system, the chief
purposes were to decentrallze much OF
the executive detail and simplify the
machinery of management by increasing
the authority and responsibility of officers
in direct contact with the public and en-
ployes on the various portions of the
system. This will involve transfer to the
regions of number of officers heretofore
on the general staffs at Philadelphia or
Pittsburg. Ii is proposed to make the
regions, rs nearly rs practicable, autono-
NOUS as To their own affairs, thus relieving
the demands upon the time of the general
administrative officers at Philadelphia
and allowing them TO give their entire
attention to questions of general policy
and the business and financial affairs
of the system. The general executive
forces have been arranged accordingly.
The staff of the President OF the system
will be affected by the transfer TO Chicago
or ]. G. Rodgers, heretofore assistant TO
the President, 10 be Nice-President of
the Northwestern Region; but other wise
the Presidents staff viii be unchanged.
The Nice-Presidcnt IN charge of opera
tion, w W. Atterbury, viii have as his
principal staff officers at Philadelphia,
G. NJ. Sheaffer, chief of transportation;
j. r. Wallis, chief of motive power; W. W.
Smith, engineer of transportation; 4. ".
Gibbs. chief mechanical engineer, and
A. c. Shand, chief engineer. As IN the
ease OF other general officers at Philadel-
phia, the authority of these officers, in
their new positions, viii be extended to
include all four regions of the system.
The ncwly-created department of per-
sonnel, headed by George l.. Peck, will
be under Mr.. Atterburys jurisdiction, as
will be also the Nice-Presidents of the
four regions, Mr. Peck's Office being in
Philadelphia, and the offices of the regional
Vice Presidents being in Philadelphia
