ERHAPS the objection of the very strait Jaced P Puritans of England to Christmas was more be- cause it was a merry Christmas than because it had significance in theological disputes and matters of discipline and (doctrine. The day itself, located near the winter solstice, had its real origin in human nature. The shortest day of the year had passed, and the world was getting each day more sunshine and less shadow, and spring was coming and the world was glad and wanted to make merry. Let- it not be supposed that they, of what we call the Pagan world, were unaware of the value of utilizing for the purposes of religion the natural impulses and un- studied purposes of the human heart. The students of the nature of man, who were in the world before history had used a pen, adapted the great physical facts that commanded the attention of all, for use in the civil and religioug control of the people.” So they used solstice and equinox, and in all of the old mythalogies, Oriental and Northern, there was the -equivalent of our Christ- mas, and fixed at about the same date. Centuries after Christ, and after all trace or possibility of proving either the place or the date of his nativity inherent sentiments of humanity took the use of the winter solstice from ‘the Pagan world, allied it to the nativity and preserved its use and purpose. By this transition surely the giadness of the day was added to rather than detracted from, for Christ, omitting all dog- matic discussion of his divinity, brought into the world opening the door of hope to the race. He lived in a bad time for gladness, and among a peo- little cause for merriment, nor had the world anywhere much more. It took a long time after | he had gone for the nations to feel the effect of the up- | 1ift, of which he was the impulse. We are often told of- < | what he would do if he were on earth now.

BY E (Former Railroad Editor New York Times and York Sun.) 1903, by Joseph B. Bowles.) ting the fact, recently announced, | that young W. K. Vanderbilt Jr. had | been assigned a desk in the financial | department of the New.York Central | Railroad with the object of teaching him something about the rajiroad busi- | ne a veteran officer of the Central | id: “Well, if this young man is like | | his father he will turn out some good work before he is through.” William K. Vanderbilt, the elder, has n a good worker as well as a good idler. When he was a boy his grand- | father, the commodore, expressed fear that he would be spoiled by too much | petting and idleness. The sturdy com- | modore believed that boys shonld begin to support themselves just as soon as possible, William K. rémained in the academy at Geneva, Switzerland, until he was abput 18 years old, when he was | called home and set at work in the of- fice of the treasurer of the New York | Central. The young man was not averse to this arrangement and he never whimpered when his father told Treasurer Rossiter to “pile plenty of work on this boy and don't let him feel that he is any different from any other | clerk.” No person in the New York Central offices at that time took into consider- ation the possibility of William K. ever having “the chance.” His father, hale and robust, had not yet relin- quished the rresidency of the road. There was J. H. Rutter, vice president ready to step into William H. Vander- bilt's official shoes, and, furthermore, | there was “Willie K. elder Hroth Cornelius, physically strong, capabie, sedate and plodding, in direct line of succession to the headship of the house of Vanderbilt. The young clerk was scarcely treated with the respect that would ordinarily go to a som of the | then richest man in the world. He made no sign of discontent, however, but went about his duties day after day with systematic directness. His amia- bility was often mistaken for lack of spirit, and high-salaried clerks as- sumed to patronize him and now and | then shifted odd jobs of their own upon his non-protesting shoulders. | Now William K. Vanderbilt has his | desk—a plain, flat-topped mahogany table—within a few feet of where he drudged as a boy. Some of the clerks who patronized him are still there. The sound of his voice, the shuffle of his foot, the scratching of his pen com- mand alert attention and eager obeis- | ance. A letter or paper accidentally | pushed over the edge of his desk and | dropping on the floor impels even the! | highest salaried clerks to an involun- | tary movement to pick it up. But the| present head of the house of Vanderbilt | neither requires nor tolerates such ob- sequious attentions. Quiet, courteous and amiable as when he was a clerk, {he transacts such business as is at| hand without flurry, without aggres- siveness and without noise. But un- | flinchirig authority is there, and all of the New York Central employes realize the fact. ’ Suppose that Mr. Vanderbilt detects a blunder or remissness in the perform- | ance of an important duty. He sends for the responsible officer and quietly remarks: “Mr. —, here is a complaint | affecting your department. Please look into the matter thoroughly and report the facts to the president.” Mr. Van- derbilt probably forgets this conversa- tion at once, but the inexorable routine of the New York Central system grinds out the delinquent’s fate. The report must, under the methods that prevail, be marked “by Mr. V.'s order,” and when the facts are sifted by the presi- dent scant mercy is shown to the man at fault. Appeals for clemency are met by the stern rejoinder, “This i & mat- ter that Mr. Vanderbilt took up, and I can do nothing for you.” Any expressed wish of W. K. Vander- bilt is law in the New York Qentral of- fices. He exercises an autocratic sway over all of the railroads in the Vander- bilt system. Presidents of the different lines are simply his unquestioning lieu- tenants, and boards of directors exe- cute his plans with scarcely a com- ment. (Copyright | what he would do if he were Mayor. of a city or a mem- | would find springing from all the churches, and firmly | poor was flescribed accurately. Only a dog was found to | Jews for the use of Gentiles and of all people. | world has so mi | fellowship of man is due entirely to words that he ut- | ascriptions of superstitution and zeal as to disuse en- told us how he would run a newspaper, another how he would run a store, or a manufactory, or a railroad, and ber of its Council. These speculations are all for the pur- pose of condemning the age in which we live, and im- peaching it of wide departure from his precept and ex- ample. One thing is sure, if he were here he would probably find it impossible to be a church member, because he would be surprised that they all depend upon creeds or forms or rituals that would be a greater wonder to him than electricity, railroads and photography. But he fixed among those who are of no church, certain great ethical principles to which he would be no stranger, for he taught them. In his time the lack of care for the sick lick the sores of -Lazarus. Now throughout Christen- dom he would find splendid hospitals, equipped with all the resources of science, in which the poorest, sickest and most forlorn have help and medicine that were not within the reach of Caesar himself. All this instead of the dog licking the sores of Lazarus. He emphasized the spirit of religious exclusiveness in the priest and the Levite that passed by on the other side. Now he would find in every great city hospital re- lief, that pours wine and oil into the wounds of human- ity and binds them up, regardless of their faith. In London he would find a hospital endowed with millions, given by Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, a Parsee millionaire of Bombay, a fire worshiper, a follower of Zoroaster, and everywhere creches and hospitals endowed by 3 Lazarus no longer has to seek the dogs to lick his sores, and the haughty spirit of the priest and the exclusiveness of the Levite are gone out of the human heart utterly. So, Jesus looking ‘upon these things would’ marvel much and be merry this or any Christmas, that the u?n improved in its humanity and quality of mercy since those hard Judean and Roman days. It is probable, too, that he would have to be told that this" vast move upward into a clearer understanding of the tered and simple duties that he t.aught to an age that hardened its ear against him. His aversion to our churches would be mitigated when he learned that with all their tiresome disputes about doctrines that he neverd thought of, and rituals and ceremonies which he re- buked in the Jews, still they all have taught peace on earth and good will toward men, and love thy neighbor as thyself, and out of that has grown hospital, kinder- garten, school, charity and all the splendid expressions of humanity which emphasize the brotherhood of man. True, there are slums in our great cities and a sub- merged million, drowning in moral and physical dark- ness. But in his day the world was all slum and the race paddled and waded in its mire unconscious of anything better, and so lost that it did not recognize the voice of the deliverer. These results in this life and in this world make it a merry Christmas, and not the profes- sional or prophetic promise of sumptuofis scenery and music and splendid idleness in a world to come, about which no man knows anything. It is a splendid mirage, inspiring and helpful, but a mirage. This world, the life of man to-day, the improved graces of the human heart, the brotherhood of man, are the great miracles wrought by Jesus, that so far outshine the tirely the miracles of the synoptics. So the Christmas season, that was before history, has gained in glory by association with the nativity and has gdined in gladness because it may now celebrate the progresé of man under the ethics of Jesus. T lare County upon a rule instituted by Judge Wal- lace in the Superior Court tending to cut down the jury expenses of the county. “Persons who are exempt from jury duty,” remarks the Times, “if they intend to claim exemption, which is a personal privilege, and which they may waive, should not be permitted to at- tend court and earn jurors’ fees and then claim exemp- tion when the law permits them to prove their right to exemption by filling prope- affidavits before the day on which they are summoned to appear. Under the new rule of the court, where they have notice of it, they will be deemed to have .waived their right to exemption where they do not claim it before the day they are sum- moned to appear.” d A considerable amount of money would seem to have been taken out of the public funds in Tulare County by ¥ SAVING JURY FEES. HE Visalia Times congratulates the people of Tu- jurors in the way indicw:diby the Times, and the rule was unquestionably directed at the correction of an; . = | abuse, Indeed the Times says: “Sometimes nearly 50 per cent avoid jury duty by reason of excuses and ex- emptions. Under the new order of court a great ex- pense may be saved the county by those having good excuses making a showing of their rights to be excused before the day they;are summoned to appear. If they | are present in Visalia before the day of trial they may appear before the court and make their. excuses; if ab- sent théy may send affidavits or medical . cenificates.} This would entail upon them but a trifling inconvenience and expense, while the attendance of every juror who is exempt on the day of trial costs the county on the ave- rage begween four and five dollars.” Practices of the sort mentioned by the Times may exist in other counties in California. ™ :sibly the mat- ter is worth looking up. Judge Wallace has also deter- mined, says the Times, that hereafter jurors will be ex-; cused only when, in strict accordance with the rules of | excmption provided by the law, the property of the | juror or property of another intrusted/to him will be | threatened with material injury or destruction by rea- | son of his detention as a juror, or when his health or | the sickness or death of a member of his family requires his absence from court. s Oakland Judges are hot upon the trail of the opera- | tors of money-paying nickel-in-the-slot machines, and | punishment follows swiftly upon detection to the own- grs of these larcenous devices. Our own police and | Judges might go into executive session on this subject and do the public a distinct service by protecting our youth from a temptation in which they cannot have a possible success. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. . HE characteristic American “hurry up” works out Tin the number of lives lost and of people wounded | in the operation of our railways. For these, grade | crossings bear a large part of the responsibility, and the rest is charged off to the carelessness caused by railway operators becoming so accustomed to risk and danger that they get off guard. The relative number of accidents to travelers is not so much out of proportion to those on European rail- ways as appears by the statistics, Because our Ameri- can roads carry more passengers per train mile. We lately had something to say about the impolicy of sacri- ficing safety to speed on the bay ferries from San Fran- cisco. But those who travel do not always think of the risk, and unless some one thinks for them no thought is given to the subject. The American rush demands speed, and rivals in tramsportation cater to that demand. It is true that a certain class of railway accidents are not increased by speed. Given a clear and perfect track and sound machinery, and a train is as safe at sixty as at thirty miles per hour. But no eye can see the inside of a steel rail, nor detect a flaw in the most perfectly an- nealed wheel, and when a’ rail breaks or a wheél col- lapses the destruction is far greater on a high than on a low speed train. The report of the Secretary for Internal Affairs of Pennsylvania shows the deaths in that State for the year on steam and street railways to be 227, and the non- fatal accidents to be 3050. On the steam roads of the State 41 passengers were killed, and 1727 were injured. When the number of passengers hauled one mile on the steam roads is taken into account, the number of deaths is a low percentage of the total. It is quite remarkable that the street railways killed 2r employes and 185 other persors, including passengers and those run over on the street. It will cause general surprise and some apprehension, that the street railroads kill more people than the steam roads. ' The steam roads of the country are improving their accident record since air brakes and safety couplings were applied to freight trains. This greatly reduces the coupling accidents, and the air brakes are found to re- duce collisions by putting the whole train under quicker control of the engineer. Westinghouse is probably the greatest benefactor of railway travel in the world. His air brakes not only put trains in the control of the en- gineer, but each car, by its individual air apparatus, is controllable by the conductor, the brakeman or the pas- sengers. If this individual air brake had been known and used the awful accident at Tehachapi, in 1883, could not have happened. It is especially on our mountain lines that the air brake adds to safety of operation, for which all travelers on this coast should be thankful. One further safety appliance more is in sight, that will probably soon be made legally compulsory on all pas- senger trains. The old oil lamps were sure to fire a train that was derailed. Gas is safer, but not entirely safe. Electricity is absolutely safe in that,respect. When a train is derailed the electric lights are cut off by stop- page of the dynamo and breaking of the wires. As law compelled the use of the safety coupler and air brakes on freight trains, it can also compel all roads to do what most of them have done voluntarily, by lighting their trains with electricity. All'of the great American sys- tems have made use of the profits and credit gained by the prosperity of the last seven years in the physical improvement of their lines, reduction of curvature and doubling .of tracks. All of these make travel safer by reducing risk, and the corporations could not have made better use of their profits. One of our fellow citizens, exceptionally versatile and | singularly expert in an industrious pursuit of criminal ambitions, having served two terms in vur penitentiary and having favored Eastern communities with a like number of terms, has takef his post-graduate course in these affairs and will be hanged in March. This seems to be the best opportunity in years for weak-minded men | and strong-minded women to give the public another | disgusting exhibition of maudlin and misplaced sym- pathy. PSR e i R King Menelik has met our embassy to his weird kingdom with protestations of profound friendship and an assurance that he will be pleased to contribute some- | thing of his civilization to the exposition at St. Louis. | If this wonderful black man, frank and free in the ex-! pression of native fraternity, comes to the fair, let us hope that we will not be compelled to explain to him the horror ethics of our strange court of law—that admin- istered by Judge Lynch. { Plans are under way to represent San Francisco at the St. Louis Exposition by a splendid series of pho- tBanhs picturing the city and its life in panorama.

The school children of ‘Su‘ Francisco are its pride, E= Memories. “Old Dundreary,” as they called him down around the lower end of Mont- gomery street, was a silent man. No- dy knew whence he came nor what his name was. Only rarely could he be seen speeding along the street in his peculiar jerky gait dnd with his gray whiskers flying back over the shoulders of his seedy green coat. He spent most of the day up in the long room of a certain old building arranging and rearranging the countless musty volumes of an old library which was stored there. He slept with the books: a little pallet over near the window over the poultry market and a rickety table compcsed the oasis in this sea { of dingy books. Upstairs in one of the studios they were having a Christmas eve jinks. With dances, frolics with the dummy figures of the artist and blithe music from the guitars and thesbanjos the evening was slipping swiftly by, when some one proposed the health of “Old Dundreary” in a glass of mulled port. Instartly it was tossed off, and then came the quick suggestion that they have the silent old recluse up to usher in the Christmas morn. Two of the girls and a man tiptoed down the dnrkl stairs to the door of the old gentle- man’s room. There they halted, for they heard the uncertain notes of a fid- dle coming, muffled with the leaden weight of that all surrounding sea of musty books. With many suppressed giggles, a stepladder was fetched from a dark corner near the janitor’s room and the three eavesdroppers clambered up to get a peep through the dusty transom. There sat “Old Dundreary” before the flickering light of a few coals in the grate. His brown old fiddle was be- neath his chin and his eyes were closed as if to catch and hoid the memories of years past. And to the wavering squeak of thg old fiddle he was piping in his broken tenor: “While shepherds watched their flocks by night. All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around.” Promises. It was on Christmas eve. Those two, the boy lover and his girl sweetheart, sat out there on an old eucalyptus log under the clear Noel moon and the steady shining stars talking together. Sweeping his hand over toward the long girdle of sparkling lights which marked where the great city lay across the bav, the boy looked up intc her face and was boastful In his speech. “Two more years of college, my girl, and then that great city over there, which I will conquer for you and for me. That is the place which must bring happiness for us both, and I will get it as surely as you love me. I will be successful, famous maybe. And then when we are sitting before our own yule log on some Christmas eve over yonder in that circle of lights we can think of the time when we sat out here on this-log like any two children and dreamed for the future which was to be for us—for us both, my little girl.” She said nothing, but the bowed head and the hand reaching out to his was enough. 3 it was upon a Christmas eve again when the:crowd of men about the cheery fire in the club were swapping varns. “Yes,” said one of the fellows, settling himself down deeper in his chair with bachelor indolence. “I once ma<- the rashest promise of my life on a Christmas eve. I promised a girl to win this city for her—and she prom- ised to wait for me.” Blessed Bethlehem. O blessed town of Bethlehem Within thy gray-green shade, Ringed round with terraced vineyard And depth of olive glade® There on thy high green pastures The shepherds watch the sheep, The low large moon shines glimmering O'er all the upland steep. ‘What music of the heavens— ‘What magic song of bliss— ‘What vision of the night-tide— ‘What mystic light is this? The silly sheep are blinded, The shepherds in amaze @ Stand awestruck, all the hillside ‘With glory is ablaze! The angels’ joyous chorus Rings out_into the night. O Gloria in Excelsis! Sing praises in the height. Sing praises, men of Bethlehem, Sing praises here below, For peace on earth and right good-will He doth on you bestow. For on this day is born there Within your little town A child who Christ the Lord is Yet wears no earthly crown: He bringeth joy and gladness To you and all mankind, Yea, peace on earth and good-will To men of equal mind. O blessed town of Bethlehem, How happy is thy state! How blest above all palaces ‘The stable at thy gate! For there in manger-cradle (Oh true the angel word!)

The question is put by the County Gentleman, who recalls that nearly all the historical diamonds of the world came from the Peninsula. One of the most famous has a history dating from A. D. 1304, when it was the property of the Rajah of Malwa. The “Great Mogul” diamond was found in the Koller mine, on the Kistna, in 1650. The “Orlo%” diamond was Indian, though it was purchased in Amster- dam in 1776. It was originally the eye of an idol in Mysore. The ‘‘Regent” diamond, one of the French national jewels, came from a Kistna mine. The last fine diamond found, or acknowl- edged as found, in India was one of 673% tarats, dug up at Bellars. Now no stones of any value are ever recorded as found. Honor for Officer. An army officer has had an Alaskan glacier named in recognition of his con- ibution to th=> geography of that ter- ritory. Some time ago Captain Joseph 8. Herron, Second Cavalry, with two known tract cf country on the west of the Alaskan range, in the center of the territory. He made a map of the coun- try and having been the first explorer he named the rivers and mountains, one of the latter features being named for Senator Foraker of Ohio. Captain—or, as he was then, Lieutenant—Herron's work was. published in a pamphiet by the military information division. The United States Geological Survey has now published the result of some expio= rations made by Dr. Alfred H. Brooks over a part of the country througi which Herron traveled. Dr. Brooks has named one of the glaciers of the section Herron glacier for the army officer, “our predecessor in the exploration of the upper Kuskokwim basin.” The glacier has unusual geo- logical importance on account of th¢ terminal moraine.

The Danish Government has proe posed a law empowering all Danish citizens to change their names. The reason for this measure is that in Den- mark, as in the Transvaal, there are not enough names to go round. In Copenhagen, it appears, one person in every ten is called Hansen, and equal proportions of the inhabitants are called Petersen and Sorensen respect ively. In the rural districts things are as bad, if not worse. In one commune of 26,000 inhabitants, for example, there are only twenty differént names, so that each name is borne on an av< erage by 1300 different persoms. Im the circumstances one may even doubt whether a permissive bill can meet the necessities of the case, and wheth- er it would not be better to send the Mayor a list of names, with instruce tions to distribute them impartially among the superfluous Sorensens, Pe« tersens and Hansens.
