Tt« Suit S utk "Hustle" is a word that has mmm ihto very general use of late, and Is «sed to express vigorous earnest ef­ fort to accomplish a definite purpose, ft Is not a very elegant word, bat " ft (s very expressive. It means, ao- '"T66rding to Webster, "to force one's ^ray." This seems to be the spirit ®nd demand of this age of fierce corn- petition in business and the profes­ sions. If you want business, a desire to attain success in any of the learned professions, you must push for it, ' wr you will be left far in the rear. •Too cannot sit still and expect wealth and reputation to seek you out. So mo apparently hug the delusion that "the srorld owes them a living," and be­ cause they think they are meritorious, they are sure to succeed without any ' great effort on their part. Who are the men and women who havei ac­ quired wealth and fame? asks the New York Weekly. Think over their careers, and you will come to the con­ clusion- that in 99 cases out of 100 they were "the architects of their own 1 fortunes." In other words, they had <to hustle. So has it been with all those who are known as self-made •ien. They had not the advantages that come from wealth, education, or social position. But they had an in- Spiring ambition that knew "no such^ jrord as fail," and whether seeking inccess In business, or reputation in ;|i profession, or distinction in states­ manship, they labored unceasingly *rith that one end in view. They vested not until their ^ambition was gratified. So in all the ordinary walks Of life, if you expect success, you must liustle for it with hand and brain. Don't expect others to supply your wants. Supply them yourself. The JSorld is before you, and you have the 4teme opportunity as others have had.

Gladstone's activity as a book col- • Rector is interestingly discussed in an - - Article on his library in the Nine­ teenth Century. He took to reading at a very early age, and, like many •nother boy, was enthralled by "Pil- Crim's Progress" and the "Arabian Kights." In his school days, and in­ deed through his whole career, he was •n eager student of Homer. Late in fife he confessed an enormous debt to Aristotle, Augustine, Dante and But­ ler. When he was 50 years old his Crowing library necessitated the addi­ tion of a new wing to the castle at fiawarden. Yet he was "by no means , rabid book-buyer." For rare books, •ret editions and elaborate bindings lie had no special passion, though he *ras glad enough to get them. "Sec- #nd-hand catalogues" rained in by •very post, and were always carefully •canned and marked for Immediate purchase." Mr. Gladstone's tastes ran strongly to religion, theology, and such kindred topics as history and philosophy. He was, in fact, some­ times accused of being more theo­ logian than statesman. Whenever he saw a book on witchcraft, strange re* Hgious sects and the ethics of mar­ riage, he invariably bought it; but, as everyone is aware, he was an omniv- !: . Orous reader; he enjoyed Shakespeare I; Sad Scott, and he liked to run over €he last new novel. ^ English vs. American Railways. The upshot of a comparison between ifltaglish and American railways is that •each country has provided itself with 'the system that, broadly considered, answers its own needs the best, and that, when all circumstances are taken Into account, neither has much to learn from the other. Certain great defects stand out in each; English tfcilway financing and American rail­ way carelessness are both deserving Of censure. Yet these defects, says Say Morris, in Atlantic Monthly, are quite explainable in their outgrowth jjHrom the physical conditions at hand, Slnd they are not amenable to any off­ hand remedy. Likewise, certain points «f especial attractiveness, such as the ICnglish baggage system and the punctuality of trains, and the Amer­ ican luxury of through travel, have •risen from a complicated set of local Circumstances, and could not be trans­ planted unless all the circumstances arere transplanted as well. Most forci- Ifle of all is the impression gained by auch a Btudy that the essential belief, >fjhe very creed and doctrine of one Country, as regards the economics of its railway working, may not be so spuch as discussed in another, where *he same ultimate problem is gotten •t In a wholly different way. v The city of Canton possesses the jfjtrangest street in the world.

The funeral will take place at Kedleston. Lady Curzon, . of Kedleston, was Mary Leiter, daughter of the late Levi Z. Leiter, of Chicago, and was in her own right the possessor of $3,000,000. From Chicago the family moved to Washington, and later trav­ eled extensively and entertained lav­ ishly. During a stay in England Miss Leiter met' George N. Curzon, eldest son of Rev. Alfred Nathaniel Holden Curzon, fourth baron Scarsdale. They were married in 1895, after Curzon had held the offices of assistant pri­ vate secretary to the marquis of Salis­ bury, under secretary of state for India, and under secretary of State for foreign affairs. In 1898 Curzon was created First Baron Curzon of Kedles­ ton, and in 1899 was appointed viceroy and governor general of India, which 1'ost he resigned in August, 1905, and was succeeded Jay the earl of Minto. Daisy Leiter, one of the sisters of Lady Curzon, was married to the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, in Wash­ ington, December 26, 1904. Nancy Leiter, another sister of Lady Curzon, was married in Wash­ ington, November 20, 1904, to' Maj. C. P. Campbell, of the British army. Lady Curzon leaves two daughters. LA FOLLETTE ON RATE BILL Wisconsin Senator' Says Measure Passed by Congress Will Have to . Be Strengthened. Washington.--Actio* of the great­ est importance in labor circles is con­ templated In a direction given by the president to ofBcers in charge of pub­ lic works at the instance of Secretary Taft This is to employ the govern­ ment's own officers to direct and pun­ ish violations of the law of 1902, pro­ viding except that In case of emer­ gency, work upon government build­ ings, ships and other properties shall be limited to eight hours each day for each workman. An effort was made by the forces of organized labor during the last session of congress to secure legis­ lation to this end, but so effective was the opposition of the great con­ tracting firms that adjournment was had without any action upon the pending bill, though the house com­ mittee on labor consumed many hours in listening to powerful arguments on either side of the question. Heretofore it has been the practice of executive officers, when complaint was made by labor unions that the eight-hour law was being violated by contractors building ships, construct­ ing public buildings, engaged in river and harbor works and other public enterprises, to reply that it was not their business; that the law was bind­ ing upon the contractors and tttSf if the labor unions felt aggrieved and knew of violations of the law they should proceed themselves legally against the offenders.

"The rate bill is good so far as it goes," said Mr. La Follette, "but it needs strengthening. I am going back to Washington next fall to fight for these amendments, and unless some of these changes are made the railroad question will be the great is&ue* of the next presidential cam­ paign.

OHIO OIL INQUIRY ENDS; COURTS WITHOUT POWER PROSECUTION OF STANDARD COMPANY AT CLEVELAND DROPPED--TO BE CONTIN­ UED AT CHICAGO. Cleveland, O.--The federal grand jury, which has been in session here investigating alleged violations of the interstate commerce laws and anti-railroad rebate laws, ad­ journed Tuesday afternoon without bringing any indictments. The in­ vestigation was directed particularly concerning the Standard Oil company and the Lake Shore Railroad com­ pany, and was the result of testimony of witnesses before the interstate commerce commission here recently in which evidence of alleged rebating by the Lake Shore in favor of the Standard Oil company had been given. The failure to return indict­ ments, it is officially stated, was due to the fact that the investigation de­ veloped tne fact that the court here was without jurisdiction of the al­ leged offenses upon which testimony was given and that all of the evi­ dence secured here is to be trans­ ferred to the federal officials at Chi­ cago, where the cases are to be pros­ ecuted. Following the discharge of the grand jury, which mado no re­ port, District Attorney Sullivan gave out the following statement: Mr. Sullivan's Statement. "On Monday Attorney General Moody and myself met in the United States attorney's offlco In New York city and reviewed the evidence brought before the present grand jury relative to alleged violations ©f the federal law by the Standard Oil coifipany, In connection with the transportation and storage of its products by the Lake Shore & Mich­ igan Southern Railway company. We came to the conclusion that the afore­ said testimony fixed the legal juris­ diction for indictment and prosecu­ tion elsewhere than in the jurisdic­ tion of the northern district of Ohio, and Special Counsel Oliver E. Pagin confirms our joint opinion In this re­ spect. This confined the Inquiry be­ fore the present grand jurj to an in­ vestigation of all alleged violations of law, *s they might be the subject of prosecution in other jurisdictions. "Evidence valuable to the govern­ ment in any prosecution which may be commenced elsewhere has been adduced before the grand jury, and will probably at once be put into force and effect in the proper juris­ diction, probably Chicago, by the" at­ torney general. Court Lacks Jurisdiction. , "'It appearing under this statement that, under the facts as they now appear, there is no lawful jurisdic­ tion in this particular judicial dis­ trict, the grand jury did not vote up­ on the question of indictments at all, but the sitting of that body at the present time was very Important in not only developing where the prose­ cution of the alleged offenses should be had,, but also brought out impor­ tant testimony that can be effectively used all along the line, according to the programme adopted by the attor­ ney general in his earnest and vigor­ ous campaign against corporate and individual violators of the 'Elkins law 'and 'the act to regulate com­ merce among the states.'" Chicago Gets Cases. Chicago. -- District Attorney Mor­ rison has received a transcript of the evidence taken before the Cleve­ land grand jury in the Standard Oil inquiry and he is going over it with Oliver E. Pagin, special attorney del­ egated by Attorney General Moody to have supervision of the prosecution of the Standard Oil company. Messrs. Morrison and Pagin returned from Cleveland Wednesday. A special grand jury will be called to hear the oil trust cases In ten days. The prosecution will be directed against the Standard Oil company only, and not against the Lake Shore road, as in Cleveland, at the begin­ ning of the session there. Should the railroad company be indicted the offi­ cials are safe, owing to the immunity baths they have received. ^ The grand jury must consider the rebates paid the Standard Oil com­ pany by the Alton road on business between Whiting, Ind., and East St. Lous. These rebates were uncovered by the Garfield report ARKANSAS IS AFTER TRUSTS Attorney General Sues Cotton Seed Oil Mill for Alleged Violation of the Anti-Trust Laws.

St Petersburg.--With the imperial ukase dissolving parliament* which was promulgated early Sunday morn­ ing, the curtain rose upon possibly the last act In the great drama of the Russian revolution.

':TrJ "All this talk about the need of fil­ ters, about people dying tor lack of filtered water, amuses me," said a chemist. "For filtered water isn't' necessarily pure water. Boiled water is 100 times better. "A filter, you see, does not free water from things dissolved in it, but only from things' floating in it- Foi instance, if you mix a quart of whisky in a gallon of water and then filter the mixture, it will come out color­ less, the floating color particles hav­ ing been left behind, but this color­ less fluid will be quite as capable of intoxicating you now as it was before, for none of its dissolved alcohol will have disappeared. "So with water that is polluted with sewage. All the undissolved portions of the sewage are removed by filtra­ tion, and the water is left clear, taste­ less and odorless; but the dissolved sewage is still present, and in it may lurk billions of typhoid germs. "Let those whe complain about the lack of filters just turn in and boil their water.

A writer in. the Evening Standard, Complaining of the London habit of abbreviation, says he would like to hang the "fiend who christened the Baker street and Waterloo railway the 'Bakerloo Tube.'" We think he should canonize him. This column speaks with a certain anxiety--for it at least gave currency to both those abbreviations. On the opening day of the Shepherd's Bush and Mansion House line a forgotten omnibus driver fired the gibe, "It ain't nothing but a twopenny tube," at the people who turned from his omnibus a-nd took to the bowels of the earth. The officials who could build a railway could, not name It. The driver's gibe fixed the word. In the same way the London public, though quite ready to travel by the Baker street, and Waterloo railway, wanted to save its breath, and for the economy of hurried speech the suggestion was here made--Ba­ kerloo. The two words have beem taken ,to the heart of travelers, and received official sanction; for at Trafalgar square you are directed to the "Bakerloo Tube." The phrase is swift, convenient, as a matter of speech, and has just as much relation to literary language as a bill of ing.--London Chronicle, Charged with Robbing Graves.
