A Nocable Sliver Anniversary.

With the close of the present year Mr. David C. Cook of Chicago will celebrate bis first quarter centennial as editor and publisher of Sunday school literature. Starting twenty-five years ago, without reputation or assurance f support, he has become one of the most widely and favorably known publishers iu this line. Beginuing in 1875 with two small publications, his periodicals have grown in number and favor until there are few schools in this country that do not find it to their in- ' terest to use some of his pure and helpful publications, while many in distant .lands pay tribute to their merits. The past quarter of a century has witnessed many changes among Sunday school publishers, and much less time than this has sufficed for some to outlive tlielr usefulness. On the contrary, Mr. Cook is preparing to celebrate the beginning of another quarter eeutury with additional improvements and new publications. Among these may be mentioned The New Century Sunday School Teacher's Monthly, a large and thoroughly up-to-date magazine for superintendents and teachers, the first issue of which will apjiear iu December. Among the most remarkable of his ptiblications is the Young People’s Weekly, which has attained a circulation of nearly a quarter of a million, being a successful attempt to furnish a high grade of religious story reading for boys and girls. To avoid the “goody-goody” story of the Sunday school, such as we remember in our childhood days, and furnish something natural, interesting and ennobling, has been its aim, and we are not at all surprised at its popularity. The restraining influence of the Christian home and the Sunday school on our growing community of young people, some of us may not appreciate as we should—perhaps because these sometimes fail to restrain. This paper should be a most welcome accessory in this work, and one which all should appreciate. Boys and girls will read, and the story book-and paper are their first choice. There seems & plentiful supply of religious papers for older people, but this Is the first successful attempt to furnish a non-sectarian religious story paper for young people. The paper is profusely illustrated, beautifully printed, and contains as much or more reading matter than the most expensive of secular young people's story papers. The price, seventyfive cents per year, should bring it within the reach of every home. Mr. Cook is now making a special effort to give the paper a wider circulation, and all who send seventy-five cents for a year's subscription before Jan. 1 will receive a beautiful premium picture entitled “The Soul's Awakening." It is Exactly the same size (13x18 inches) and style as those on sale at art stores for sl. Orders should be addressed to David C. Cook Publishing Co., 36 Washington street, Chicago. Probably no man living has done so much to improve and cheapen Sunday school literature as bas Mr. David C. Cook. Through his aid thousands of schools have been encouraged, improved and made self-sustaining. Mr. Cook is yet a comparatively young man. and it does not appear at all improbable that his field of usefulness may extend over yet another quarter century.

REVIEW OF THE WAR

SECRETARY ROOT MAKES IMS ANNUAL. REPORT.

Policy of Administration aa to (Ma and Porto Rico -Operations of Troopa in the Philippines - li'rromnn ndmi—a „ for Reorganization of Army. Secretary of War Root’s first mimnml report is of exceptional interest in that it deals exclusively with great questions of insular policy, army reorganization, the future of the Island of Cuba, and of the state of affairs in the Philippines. Hie Secrtary’s report is a surprise to the officials for its originality. It has not the ear marks of the usual annual paper and officials say it is the most independent and far-reaching of any yet offered during the present administration. Comment on the report is diversified and the consensus of opinion seems to favor the instrument in most of its provisions and recommendations. Secrtary Root has attacked red tape methods and iu the face of the Adjutant General's report to the contrary, recommends the adoption of the system of rotation of staff officers in the United States army, thus hoping to abolish the stale methods, giving the officers generally a knowledge *of the requirements of their positions and preventing the use of red tape methods, the chief cause of so many mistakes iu the past trouble With Spain. There seems to be on opinion that these provisions in the report especially will provoke a bitter fight in Congress. The report begins with a recital of the policy followed in reorganizing the army in accordance with the necessities arising from the discharge of the State volunteers and of the men enlisted for the Spanish-American war, and gives statistics of the past and present strength of the organization, covering in that respect matters dealt with in the reports of the Major General commanding and of the Adjutant General.

It is stated that at present all of the new regiments of volunteers are in the Philippines or on their way there. The operations in those islands are next taken up aud the report again ]toints out that the outbreak of last February was provoked by the insurgent* themselves aud was, from our stand]>oint, unfavorable. Frequent reference is made to the report of General Otis to show the magnitude of the task set for him with the inadequate forces at his command when the outbreak came.

In reference to the management of Porto Rico, he recommends a government consisting of a Governor. Kecreary of State. Attorney General. Treasurer, Comptroller and Superintendents of Public Works and Education, appointed by the President, with a legislative council composed of these heads of bureaus with a, minority selected from the people of the island by the President. He suggests a Supreme Court, appointed by the President, and trial courts appointed by the Governor. The people are to be given the suffrage for the election of municipal officers, who are to be independent in the exercise of purely local functions, but are to be removable for cause by the Governor, the vacancies being filled by a new election. Many other recommendations are made concerning affairs of national importance.

WOOD WILL HAVE COMMAND.

Former Governor of Porto Rico to Be Supreme In Cuba. Despite his not being officially known as the “civil governor” of Cuba, Gen. Leonard W ood, according to a W ashing - ton correspondence, will be invested with all the powers of that office. He will be military governor, in sujireme command of the island. In the absence of insurrections or trouble his duties will chiefly be civil. He is to have the rank of major general aud outrauk the army officers who remain under his command. President McKinley will make several promotions to brigadier generalships in the regular army. Gens. Lee and Wilson are to be thus favored. - Gen. Wood displayed fine administrative abilities while in charge of the medical departments. He refused $30.01*0 a year to act as superintendent of a street railway company in Washington in order to go to Cuba. His headquarters will soon be established in Havana.

Cry for Help from Guam.

Another appeal for re-enforcements has been sent by Capt. Leary, Naval Governor of the island of Guam. The few men the Governor has at his command are but an insignificant force compared with the 8,000 population of the island and fears of a native revolt are increasing. The Navy Department first received a telegram from Capt. Leary asking for an additional force of marines lat* in October, and his appeal avas answered by the mustering of 300 men. This second appeal leads the department to believe that the situation is more grave than was supposed.

MEN OF AFFAIRS.

McKinley shaves himself. Zola, at 21. often went hungry. Attorney General Griggs is a crack shot. Of Emil Zola’s works 90,000 copies are sold annually. United States Senator Nelson was born in Norway. Mr. Gully, Speaker of the House of Commons, is an expert at gulf. Two streets in Ledignan, Prance, were named after Zola and Dreyfus recently. United States Supreme Court Justice Shiras is a- stenographer. H. W. Dennison of Vermont is the law adviser to the Japanese Government. John Stephens of New Albank, lnd_ danced recently on his ninety-eighth birthday. ' Thomas Sidney Cooper, aged 97. is the oldest member of the British tioyal Academy. - • ■ Former Gov.
