GROUP of German professors headed by the rector of the A University of Berlin has published a manifesto which de-! declares that “pence cannot be won without the increase of | our power and without thc extension of the area in which our will will decide over war and peace.” A year ego this was sound Prussian doctrine, proclaimed as euch to the world. Is it the same to-day? Does the Imperial Master him- self adhere to it? We seem to recall another recent manifesto, signed Wilhelm and issued on the second anniversary of the beginning of the war, which put things differently: “Germany knows che is fighting for her existence,” it said. “We shal) bring this struggle to euch an end that our empire will be pro- tected from future attack.” The German people are to be assured | only “the right to live free and secure among nations.” Prussianism that would stop at nothing short of domination! seems to have abandoned the imperial court and taken refuge with | the professors. A hopeful sign.

The best intellect to be found in the Catholic Church of this country will concentrate during these five days upon ecclesiastical and social problems. The result can hardly fail to be a clearer under- standing of the purposes and policies of the Catholic Societies in| ¢ America and of their relation to the purposes and ideals of the nation. “The world does not understand the idea of solidarity as we do,” said Cardinal Farlcy at Madison Square Garden last night. ‘The twenty-five thousand Catholic delegates, lay and clerical, now assom- bled in the city have a wonderful opportunity to show that Catholic solidarity is also the solidarity of true Americanism—zealons without prejudices, patriotic without reserves.

D HE first English child born tn America was delivered by the stork to William and Eleanor Dare, Aug. 18, 1687. The Dares had reached Roanoke less than a month |previously with the party of settlers {commanded by John White, the jfather of Eleanor Dare. The infant, 4 girl, was christened Virginia, The Proud grandfather soon found it Necessary to return to England for supplies, leaving behind eighty-nine men, seventeen women and two chil- dren, among them being his daughter, son-in-law and baby Virginia. On his way home White touched at Ire- land and left some potatoes which he took from Virginia—these being first of that kind ever aeen in if nd. His return was considerab!: delayed, and it was not till 1590, three years after his leaving, that White again saw Roanoke. He found the settlement @ desolation, and no t of the colony was ever found. The fate of Virginia Dare ts con- jJectural, but it is not improbable that she was adopted by the Indians. It ts believed that many of the colonists mingled with the natives, and for a \ time thereafter families of the Hatteras tribe exhibited unmistak- able indications of an ‘admixture of European blood.

A LAS, nearly every woman is wise enough to see through a man— and fool enough to let him know It. Marriage {s something which always causes a woman reg she has tried 1t or missed it. whether A word to the wise may be sufficient, but it takes at least three words to make # woman happy; and she wants to hear them every day. If a man hasn't a “change of heart” occasionally, {t's a elgn, Dearie, that he hasn't any heart. “A man," saith the Cynic, “te like unto a briar pipe, strong, good, serv- iceable, seldom beautiful, and never subtile; but a woman resembleth a Turk- ish cigarette, which ts light, delicate, unsatisfying, unstable, quickly kin- @led—and quickly finished!” Ab, well! A man who smokes @ briar pipe may be more reliable, and therefore more eligidle, than a man who smokes perfumed Turkish cigar- ettes, but he is certainly not more kissable. A woman's regret at the loss of a flirtatious husband is always counter- balanced by her relief at the thought of not having to keep her eye on him any longer. The greatest proof of a husband's love—promptness with the alimony. « are to be given the date of tran- scription, All letters transcribed after 4 P.

This atructure, the first of the great bridges connecting Man- hattan and Brooklyn, was designed by John A. Roebling, and construc tion work commenced early in 1870, The caisson for the Brooklyn tower was sunk in 1871, and the Manhat- tan caisson the following year. Brookiyn tower, containing 3 cubic yards of masonry, was com- pleted in 1875, and in July 1876, the Manhattan tower was completed. The cable-making commenced in 1877, and the bridge was finally completed and formally opened in 1883. John A. Roebling, the engineer who planned the bridge, Gied in 1869, before actual work had commenced, and his son, Washington A. Roebling, took charge of the project. Early in 1873 he was prostrated by a pecullar form of caisson disease, which forced him for a time to give up active work, al- though hia mind was unimpaired. The compressed air used in sinking the caissons caused many other cas of caisson disease, or “the bends,’ the workmen call It.
