CANADA’'S NEW TOY. The germ of the Canadian navy s rapidly developing into a lively organism. The cruiser Rainbow, it is announced, will soon start from Portsmouth for the Pacific coast of Canada after having been thoroughly overhauled and inspected under the authority of the British Admiralty. The cruiser Nicbe will leave Portsmouth for Halifax. Each warship will carry a full complement of British officers, who will serve in the Canadian navy tor two years and a “skeleton” crew, of which the members will be engaged for five years, says Toronto Globe. It Is not expected that it will be at all difficult to obtain the necessary officers and men in Canada when it becomes necessary to enlist them. It is interesting to note that the first proposal to construct a drydock of large dirmensions under the legislation of last session has been made by the English firm of Vickers & Maxim, which has filed plans at Ottawa for works at Montreal covering fifty acres and costing two and & half million dollars. The' construction of torpedo destroyers has long been a specialty with this celebrated firm, but far more Important for this country is the buiidIng and repairing of steel -vessels of large size. The introduction of such a plant will mark a new stage in the evolution of shipbuilding in Cahada.

The Chicago public school authorttles are preparing to establish a new high school course of two years, for the benefit of pupils who for financial reasons can remain no longer in the high schools. It is belleved that by doing this many pupils who now go out into the business world from the district schools could be induced to take a special course of two years arranged with a view to their future employment. The development is in line with effort to streugthen the public schools as institutions for the preparation of young men and women for the practical work of life, and its outcome will be nofed with interested by educators. | L

Discharged City Employee Wounds Gotham Executive in Neck. TRAGEDY ON BOARD STEAMER Chief Executive of New York City Badly Wounded by a Discharged City Employee as He Is About to BSall for Europe. New York.—As he stood on the deck of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse at the Hoboken pier, about to sail for Europe, William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York, was shot at three times by an assassin Tuesday mornfng. One of the three bullets struck him in the neck and he fell, seriously wounded. The physicians who first attended the victim said the bullét entered the neck back of the right ear and lodged in the region of the mastoid bone. They added that they believed Mr. Gaynor was not fatally wounded. .

Blood poisoning, they said, was the only thing they feared that would prevent the ma¥or from recovering of his wound. The surgeons will not attempt to extract the bullet, which lodged In the patient’s tongue until after he has gained his normal strength. The assassin was Jules James Gallagher, 440 Third avenue, New York. He was appointed 'a watchman in the dock department April 7, 1903, and was discharged July 19, 1910, after having been found guilty of neglect of duty and of misconduct.. His only explanation of his deed was the statement: “Gaynor has deprived me of my bread and butter.” After his discharge he wrote a number of letters to the mayor. Party Was Posing for Photograph. ~ Mayor Gaynor and a number of city officials were standing .in a group. to have their pictures taken. Gallagher quietly walked toward them, drew a revolver dnd fired three ‘shots. Two of them went wide of the mark, but the third struck the mayor in the neck, and he fell to the deck with the blood spurting from the wound. Officer Fitzgehring, one of the North German ILloyd guards, was standing . near. The assassin lifted the revolver again to fire at his prostrate victim when the German ‘policeman felled him to the deck with a terrific erash from his club. A rush was made for the man, but captain and officers of the liner, with revolvers drawn, fought back the infuariated spectators .and police from H3boken were quickly on the scene. .’ A score of policemen with naval reserve sailors from the liner were needed to convey the man to jail. Outside the dock gates, where the news spread quickly, a- mob of dock laborers and stevedores made a rush for the police, one of them actually getting his hands on the prisoner, but they were beaten back. ) Mayor Gaynor was carried from the ship on a stretcher and taken to St. Mary’s' hospital in Hoboken.. As he was being borne away .he said in a whisper: ‘“Say good-bye to the people.” When he reached the hospital he was still conscious, though blood from the wound kept getting into his throat and choking him. Drs. Stewart and Brewer of New York took charge of the case and expressed hope of the .mayor's recovery. :

‘ Sketch of His Career. William J.: Gaynor was of Irish-Eng-lish stock and the son of a man who supported Gerritt Smith, the abolitionist friend of John Brown of the Harper’s Ferry -antebellum period. He was born on his father’s farm at Oriskany, near Whitestone, Oneida county, N. Y., In 1851, the soil of which farm was cleared by his struggle for bare necessities on that little farm and Mr. Gaynor's boyhood was one of hard toil. : \ He studied law in Boston and located in Flatbush, Long Island, where he soon after successfully carried out a reform movement. i Having smashed the political rings of Flatbush, the young lawyer in 1885 changed his place of residence to *Brooklyn, in which city “Boss” Hugh McLaughlin had wielded despotic power for a quarter of a century. Mr. Gaynor then studied the great MecLaughlin ring, and formulated a plan for the overthrow of the “boss.” His great opportunity came in 1889, when the town of New Lots was annexed to Brooklyn. There was a little water company in New Lots known as the Long Island Water Supply company. The McLaughlin ring secretly hought up the company throngh dummies, for $185,000, and then got Alfred C. Chapin, mayor of Brooklyn, and his associates to make a contract to buy it for the city for about $1,600,000—a profit

Penny Coined In 1722, New York.—Somebody lost a perfectly good penny back in the days when a British king ruled the American colony. It was minted in 1722, and the owner was permanently poorer by that penny, for it was not found until the other day, when ' Albert Baker picked it up on the Richmond turnpike, Staten lisland. The spot where Albert found the old coin is on the line of the stage coaches that vsed to be run between New York and Philadelphia. !

for the ring of more than §1.860,068 Mr. Gaynor denounced the deal as a swindle and said it would not go through if he could prevent it. The mayor and the ring smiled and ignored ‘him. He, however, went about Brooklyn, seeking for some taxpayer who would allow him to use his name as plaintiff in a suit to stop the steal. But none of the leading citizens to whom he applied dared to court the enmtty of the powerful McLaughlin machine, the mere mention of which was enough to make a property owner tremble, because everybody knew the “Boss” was vindictive and unforgiving.. Mr. Gaynot, however, finally induced one of his old clients, William Ziegler, to allow’the use of his name. That suit, carried through every court to the highest, defeated the $1,300,000 water swindle- and carried consternation to the ring. Mr. Gaynor was a comparatively poor man, but he paid the whole cost of the fight, $14,700, out of his own pocket. It was a great victory and completely exposed the rottenness of machine politics. Mr. Gaynor afterward gave the people of Brooklyn another illustration of how they were robbed. The elevated railroads of that city never paid a dollar of taxes, and the officlals refused -to sell their property for nonpayment, although the possessions of every poor delinguent were sold promptly. Mr. Gaynor brought a taxpayers' suit at his own expense, and in the end the companies were obliged to pay their taxes in full, about sl,ooo,ooo—another astonishing defeat for the McLaughlin ring, the membersg of which owned large interesta in the elevated rallroads. Mr. Gaynor again defeated the Brooklyn ring by exposing the swin-

More brass bands were charged for than could be got in Brooklyn and New York combined. A bill for one street stand carried more lumber than was contained in all the stands. He denounced the bill asg a swindle and declared the official audit to be a fraud. The ring went to the legislature and had the bill legalized. Mr. Gaynor went to the govermor and ‘had the bill vetoed. In spite of the ring, Mr. Gaynor compelled a true audit. ‘ : On the State Supreme Bench. In 1893. the people of Brooklyn became fully aroused. The sight of one man whipping the combined forces of political corruption in battle afeer battle stirred the city profoundly. A mass meeting asked Mr. Gaynor to run for mayor. He declineq, saying that he had worked to create a public sentiment that would drive the ring out of power; that was his object, not to get an office for himself. A few weeks later he was unexpectedly nominated for justice of the Supreme court. He at first refused the nomination, but was finally persuaded to run to help elect Mr. Schieren, the fusion candidate for mayor. The election was a tremendous victory for reform. The standing ring majority of 20,000 votes was wiped out. Mr. Gaynor was elected to the Supreme court, by a majority of 85,000 votes, and the whole ticket with him.. That was the end of the famous McLaughlin ring. It never got back into power. The career of Mayor Gaynor since he became the chief ex@cutive of New York has been as picturesque as it has been exciting. The limelight of the country has been almost constantly* directed at him. His frlends declare that he had a way of accomplishing hig things in little time. His famous controversy with W. R. Hearst aroused comment throughout the country. His activities in bringing about reforms in the police department also attracted much attention; and, incidentally, made him }nan’y bitter enemies. : " The controversy between Mayor Gaynor and Mr. Hearst became intensified as each day the mayor issued a new statement in support of his position or to deny the statements credited to him. _

WALTER BROOKINS' MACHINE CRASHES INTO CROWD OF : SPECTATORS. : SEVEN SERIOUSLY INJURED Presence of Mind Displayed by Avia- . tor When Aeroplane Turns Turtle Probably Saves Many Lives—High Wind Causes Accident. ' Asbury Park, N. J—Walter A. Brookins, the aviator, and seven spec tators were seriously injured at the Interlaken fleld Wednesday = when Brookins, in a new type of Wright biplane, attempted {o effect a landing in a high wind, after making a sensational flight. George Burnett, fourteen years old, living at Spring Lake, N. J.,, was pinned under the wreckage and is dying at the Long Branch ‘hospital as the result of a fractured skull, dislocated hip and internal injuries. Brookins, although pinned under the heavy motor, escaped with a broken nose and contusions about the head and body. The accident might have cost many lives, if it had not been for Brookins’ presence of mind. In order to inaugurate Asbury Park’s aviation meet on schedule time, he went up shortly after four o’clock in a gusty wind blowing at the rate of 30 miles an hour.” As he was about to descend with one of his spectacilar spiral turns he lost control of the machine. Being directly over the grand stand the machine dived for the panic-stricken crowd. Realizing that the result would be frightful if the craft fell on the spectators, caught like rats in a trap, Brookins managed to swing the machine around at an angle still more acute. .But the aeroplane was too close to' the ground to make the maneuver entirely successful. It barely cleared the heads of the wildly hysterical crowd, when it smashed into the grand stand at the end of the field. The groups of attaches there were unable to escape over a high wire fence ‘designed to keep out the crowd. All of them were pinned under the wreckage.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN BOSTON Property in Business Center of the ‘City, Valued at $2,000,000 Is Destroyed. : .Boston.—Driven by a strong southwest gale flames destroyed property valued at $2,000,000 = here Tuesday night and for a time seriously threatened to wipe out the business and manufacturing part of the city. A 'general alarm called all the fire apparatus in the city to the scene and later a call for help was - sent to Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville and' all the available fire fighting apparatus in those towns was rushed to the scene of the conflagration. Two lumber yards, fifty tenement houses and the Dover street bridge were in flames at ome time. Three pieces of fire apparatus were lost by the department because of the rush of the flames. Several firemen and many policemen had narrow escapes from serious injury. Many of the tenement house dwellers in the fire zone also had narrow escapes from the rapidly spreading flames. Hundreds of pounds of dynamite were used to blow up buildings on both Dover and -Albany streets to -stop the progress of the conflagration, which was sweeping toward Washington street and the great shopping and business district when it was checked. While this fire was in progress another which threatened to be nearly as large raged in the wholesale district in the heart of the city,

AGAIN REFERS TO SHERMAN IN - LAND INQUIRY. McMurray, the Alleged Promoter, Shown to Have Operated a Campaign of Telegrams. McAlester, Okla.—Senator T. P. Gore at the investigation of the Indian land deals Tuesday introduced and had read to the special committee telegrams in which the names of VicePresident Sherman and Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas were named. One of the telegrams read: . “With McMurray there to state our claims, with Mr. Curtis and Mr. Sherman, who understands better than anybody else what we want, and with the assistance of our president, it begins to look like we are coming inte our own.” Its relation to Senator Gore's charges of having ‘been offered $25,000 bribe to “put through” congress the $30,000,000 McMurray Indian land deal was explained by the senator. - “It merely shows the activity of the McMurray interests at Washington,” said Senator Gore. “By offering this evidence, I do not wish to reflect either on Mr. Sherman or Mr, Curtis,” said the senator. : . “Do you mean that as an exonerstion from you of Mr. Sherman?” asked Dennis Flynn, attorney for McMurray, “It is merely to state that if the names of these men were taken in vain at one time they may have been at another,” replied Mr. Gore. McAlester, Okla.—Six hundred In: dians assembled at a “war council” at Sulphur, Okla., and, using up almost an entire bottle of ink, wrote their signatures individually to the McMurray land contracts. _ Although informed that J. F. MeMurray, holder of the contracts, would net a profit of from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 in “attorneys’ fees,” the Indians were advised that the contracts afforded the quickest way to realize on their land, estimated to be 450,000 acres in extent, and valued at $30.000,000 to $40,000,000. In addition to the land contracts, McMurray’s agents had the Indians sign contracts for tax cases against the government at a stated fee for each case. The land fee was 10 per cent., contingent upon the sale of the land. James H. Godfrey, a Chickasaw Indian by intermarriage, gave this testimony before the congressional investigating committee Wednesday. " Godfrey said he induced the Indians to assemble at Sulphur to™ persuade them to sign the contracts, almost 10,000 of which McMurray previously had obtained.. McMurray, he said, had been successful in previous litigation for the Indians and the Indians believed if they paid him 10 per cent. attorneys’ fees he would be able to urge the authorities at Washington to expedite the sale. !

JESUS NEARING JERUSALEM

LESSON TEXT. — Matthew 20:17-34 Memory verses 25-27. 2 GOLDEN TEXT.—*The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to. minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'—Matt., 20:28, o TlME.—March A. D. 3. In the last month of Jesus' ministry. After the raising of Lazarus (John 2). PLACE.—Perea, beyond Jordan. Suggestion and Practical Thought. An Example. The Splendid Heroism of Christ—Vs. 17-19. The company of disciples led by the Master were now drawing near to Jerusalem. Jesus with a clear vision of all that was before him, was moving steadily on, “with majesty and heroism,” to the terrible scenes of mockery, rejection, and crucifixion, ‘which were close at hand. CLe S The herofsm of Christ was the greater because - ' ~He was perfectly able to escape the prain and death to which he was going. - : e Thinkest thou,” he sald to Peter, “that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matt. 26:53.) They guarded his spirit from falling, but he chose to go to his death. “Therefore doth my father love me, because 1 lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man ‘taketh It from me, but I lay it down of mygelf. I have power to lay it down, and [ have power to take it again” (John 10:17, 18). » He gave himself for the greatest and most worthy cause in all history. He sacrificed himself amid obloquy, iisgrace, seeming defeat. There were ao cheers, no “on "to victory,” no shouts of applause from admiring crowds, to sustain him; no enthusiasm of battle activity engaging every power of body and mind that enables the warrior to go into battle with enthusiwstic joy. ’ He had the heroism of faith, in the ‘ense darkness of the future, when his feath would seem to mean defeat and lisaster to his cause, through which t was hard to see the resurrectionm ind victory beyond. i A Warning. Two Ambitious Young Men.—Vs. 20-23. Who wish to be jeroes, but set out in the wrong way. dowever at length they became greater men and greater heroes in Christ's way, than their highest dreams at ‘his time. > v 20. The mother of Zebedee's chiljren. Not little children, but sons. From comparing Matt. 27:55, 56, with Mark 15:40; 16:1, it appears that her same was .Salome. The .sons were James and John (Mark 10:35). Acrording to Mark, the sons came maring the request for themselves. This agrees with Matthews, for she came with her sons. . : The Request and Its Motive. *“What wilt»thou?” It was best for them to spread out lin the clear light 'their secret thoughts and hopes. Such a statement is often more than half a ture. “Grant that these my. two sons may sit, the. one on thy right hand, and the other on the left; in thy kingiom.” That is, in the two chief places of honor. The first place of- honor was the right hand of the sovereign; the second, the left hand. : ~ “Ye know not what ye ask.,” They knew not the greatness of the favor they asked—how blessed beyond their highest dreams it was to sit on the right hand of the Son of God, how radiant the glories of that -‘kingdom - were to be. .

“Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of?” Have you counted the cost? Can you pay the price? . ’ . “They say unto him, We are able.” The language of assurance somewhat overweening, for it ‘was the assurance not wholly of faith, but partly of ignorance of thémselves and of the. future. They fled with the other disciples, In the night of the arrest. Jesus showed them the only true way, and turned them from the path they thought led to the desired good, but which led them ‘away from the goal. They drank the Lord’s. eup. They were baptized with his baptism. Judas alone took the wrong way, and utterly failed of his hopes: _ True Greatness. How to Make the Most of Life.—Vs. 24-28. ‘“And when the ten heard it, they were moved with Indignation.” This shows that they had the same feelings as the two brothers. : : It is our own faults that we most condemn when we see them mirrored in others.

The wish to be greater than others is a wrong ambition. The wish to be as great, as good, as possible, is right; but has its dangers. © B
