' The AssocJatiea of (Now York CHy) hat reHsssl Osly ta tlgerM at la ttf royart aw CAPSULED EDUCATION And now comes another form of capsuled education. It is merely another phase of that old question "If you were cast away, on a desert island" you know the rest "What books would you take along to amuse yourself?" This was an old jest when Noah built the Ark, But unfortunately the records of the books he took along with him are not extant. Dr. Eliot of Harvard has undertaken to provide any man with a liberal education. This he says can be accomplished by the simple expedient of reading; a shelf of books only five feet long. st there be any mistake Dr. Eliot has selected the books himself.". 4 .- Here they are: "Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin." - "Journal of John Woolman." "Fruits of 8olitude," ' by William Penn. Bacon's "Essays" and "New Atlantis." , Milton's "Arcopagitlca" and "Tractate, on Education." '' Sir Thomas Browne's "Religio Medici." Plato's "Apology," "Phaedo" and -Crlto." 'Golden Sayings" of Epictetus. "Meditations of Marcus Arelius." Emerson's "Essays." Emerson's "English Traits." The complete poems of Milton. Johnsons "Volpone." Beaumont and Fletcher's , "The Maids' Tragedy." Webster's "Duchess of Malfy." MMdleton's "The Changeling." Dryden's "All for Love." Shelley's 1'Cencl." Browning's "Blot in the Scutcheon." - iwinraoni necKet. Goethe's "Faust.", Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus." Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." "Letters of Cicero and Pliny. Banyan's ."Pilgrim's Progress." " Burns' "Tam O'Shanter." Walton's "Complete Angler" and "Lives of Donne and Herbert." "Autobiography of St. Augustine." Plutarch's "Lives." Dryden's "Eneid." "Canterbury Tales." "Imitation of Christ," by Thomas a Xempis. , Dante's "Divine Comedy." Darwin's "Origin of Species." "Arabian Nights." It is a noticeable fact that Dr. Elliot shows some originality in not selecting either Shakespeare works or the Bible. Perhaps he thinks that they are not going to be read anyway in this day and generation. Or it may be that they would not fit in his five feet of books. . ' But Dr. Eliot has really some good reasoning in his argument that if the American of the average type and average time were - to read these books he would have a good foundation. There is every phase of philosophical thought in his selection but there is sheer Invention also. No other collection of tales not excepting Bocaccio's Decameron: has so many possibilities of plots as the collection of eastern literature. The Canterbury Tales together with the ragged force of Pilgrim's Progress are In strange contrast to one another, bnt they should give an American more food for reflection on the' heritage we have from our English forefathers than any amount of ordinary invertebrate criticism or research along Ideals. And this is true of the principle of the other selections. If Dr. Eliot has left oat Shakespeare and the Bible we are not the most of us actually; stranded in places where these can not be obtained. EVERY LITTLE BIT The announcement that 'the West End Business Men's club ' is going to begin its "operations again this summer la gratifying. It ia not that we mean that one section of the town 1s deserving cr more desirable than

any other.. But the signs, of activity along line which- make for increased business are encouraging. While sectional clubs undoubtedly sometimes degenerate into factions we are sure that!: the West End Business Men's club is as much interested In i the whole town as it is in the mere geographical location of their places of business between Sixth - and Third streets. It is b"y getting together that things can be accomplished in town. Certainly every similar organization which has started operations here in the last few years has done good work. By supplying music to tired people who were very warm on hot, sticky nights last summer when it was uncomfortable to be indoors, the club did a real service to hundreds of people, which is a splendid thing for any organization to do, whether it is for sectional benefit or not. Anything which will help one end of town will , help another if it 1b not done at the expense of tearing down what is built up. The club can do and as a matter of fact i3 doing a very good thing if It will increase the business of their section, and making a permanent addition to the business of the town. That is a more permanent and beneficial thing than trying to get trade away from some other district. It is by building up all parts of the town that the city of Richmond continues to grow.

Items Gathered in - From Far and Near Paris Sets the Pace. From the Baltimore American. In this country the movement for systematic and carefully thought-out plans for the adornment of cities is of comparatively recent development. Not until within the last decade did the beautification propaganda seem to take a firm hold upon the popular imagination Of urban populations in the United States. The genius of municipal : adornment - has at last arrived, however, .in nearly every American city. It was once remarked of a certain inland city that "if she ever does take to culture she will make culture hum." American cities in general have not exactly been making this beautification proposition "hum," but they have taken hold of the idea, and they will never let go of it. Paris is concededly the most artistically beautiful city on the terrestrial globe. The city on the Seine began to apply systematic plans of adornment centuries ago. ' Under the monarchies, uuring the Imperial, regime and later under republican administration, the French capital has been transformed in accord with ideals worked out by men of genius. And during the first decade of this twentieth century the policy of beautifying and adorning the French metropolis is being carried out perhaps more systematically and up on a vaster scale than at any previous period of the city's history. West Point and the Boys. From the New York Times. The lack of a sufficient number of cadets at West Point is an evil that can easily be remedied. There are surely enough sturdy boys in our schools anxious to go to the Military Academy and get officers' commissions in the army. The idea is general that to get in West Point is very difficult, quite beyond the power of the poor boy without influence. The parents of poor boys are generally too busy, often too ignorant or careless to help them much. To be sure, the exceptional youth, determined to get in the army through West Point, in spite of all hazards, will get there and do well. We remember one who failed of entrance, for one reason or another, three successive years, but . went through the fourth, and is now facing his brigadier generalship. But there is no reason to believe that all the officers in the army were quite such obstinate and' determined youngsters. Luck counts at West Point as elsewhere, and there is such a thing as influence not necessarily baleful or ob jectionable. v The Life Savers. From the ' Providence Tribune. During late years, at least, when the entire country has been making its way to the seaboard and the volume of passenger traffic on the ocean has been rapidly increasing it has been difficult, if not impossible, to understand the niggardliness of the government in dealing with the life-saving service. The men engaged in It have always had friends at court, surely, and so far as known they have no enemies. Repeatedly have they demonstrated by the courageous sacrifices which they have made that they are deserving. Strenuousrress! From the New. York Sun. When Mr. Roosevelt took a walk in the rain the feat earned him a column of publicity. Mr. Taft plays golf in "a heavy downpour' and gets a paragraph. What a relief in the contrast! TWINKLES Practical Demonstration. "My play was intended to show the cold heartlessness of society," said the author. T should say so. There was never anything more cold and heartless than the manner in which society slighted the box office.". A Small Request. -The idle man some praise might win . Ef he, as time goes by, Would not stan roun' discouragin The folks as wants to try. "A man alius finds his level, son." said Uncle Eben. "an you's lucky to

be let down easy by experience Instead of arrlvin' wlf a Jolt."

A Simple System. "How did Bllggins come to be ao highly esteemed as a weather prophet?" "By his optimism. When there is a drouth, he keepB predicting rain, and when it's raining he says it is going to clear off." The First Impression. "What was your first impression on arriving at Europe?" . "Great joy," answered the traveler, "over the fact that I was through being sea sick." LITERARY WORLD THE WIRELESS AGE. If the next decade brings as many victories as the past, a wireless era will have been established. It Is little more than a decade since Marconi's achievement astonished the world little more than a year since DeForrest demonstrated the practicability of the radiophone. Other wireless scientists had been working along similar lines for years without attracting attention. The great impulse came with the first success. Hosts of experimenters, professional and amateur, are working at the problems. Wireless science is being taught in public schools and colleges, and there are now institutions which specially fit students for the work. That electrical power sufficient to propel airships or furnish energy for any purpose can bo transmitted through the air has been shown time and again by different inventors. Aside from driving vehicles and small boats by ' wireless power, inventors have run machinery, have cooked, have lighted electric bulbs, in fact, have accomplished everything they could with power over the wires, though in a smaller radius. Soon, they promise, all energy will be distributed in this way. No longer will smoke stacks or reeking locomotives and automobiles poison the air. Vessels will even churn the seas, propelled by. the invisible force. Coal, If used at all, will be transformed directly to energy at the fields. More important, however, will be the natural sources such at Niagara Falls, which could supply most of America, provided the electricity could be transmitted economically. Perhaps the most convincing demonstration of the theory was that first made by the Union Pacific Railroad about a year ago. A motor car driven by electricity, transmitted wirelessly from a central station In the freight yards at Omaha, Neb., hauled strings of freight oars, day after day, attaining a speed of six miles an hour. Its inventor also evolved what is known as a "selective device," that enabled him to transmit and control the power to any desired objective point. On May 13, Mr. Mfllener, the expert In question, ran 4,000 electric lights from a distance of five miles. John S. Lopez in Van Norden Magazine for July. ITS FINAL MEETING Commercial Club to Close for Summer After Session Monday. MANY INVITATIONS OUT About two hundred invitations were mailed this morning to members of the Commercial Club by Secretary E. .. - . . jvi. Haas, requesting xneir presence ai the last public meeting of the Commercial club before the summer vacation period next Monday evening. Invitations have also been extended to the Ministerial Association members, Young Men's Business Club, West Richmond Improvement Association, Riverdale Civic League, South Side Improvement Association, Falrview Civic League 'and other similar organizations. The subject up for discussion will be the peace congress recently held at Chicago. In bis invitation, Mr. Haas states: The delegates to the National Peace Congress, held recently at Chicago, will make report. These reports will, no doubt, prove of much interest. The delegates were Mr. Timothy Nicholson, President R. L. Kelly, Dr. S. E. Smith, Mr. W. K. Bradbury, and Mr, Benjamin Johnson. Mr. Levi Pennington will deliver his oration on "World Evolution of Peace." This was delivered at Chicago as a part of the program at the Chicago Congress and won for him the Inter-State Contest. It will be a fitting prelude to the reports of the delegates. This will make a splendid program, which when spiced up with refreshments, should be sufficiently attractive to Insure your presence. Bring your friends with you. T SERVICES 11 HOME Owing to the death of Captain William Chan Jeff eries, who had been a member of Whitewater lodge of Odd Fellows tor fifty-nine years, the degree work: was postponed last evening for one week. The lodge held services at the late residence of Captain Jefferiea, 1314 Main street last evening. MASONIC CALENDAR. ; & , mmwmvmmwmm ., ' ' ' ' - " Saturday, June 19.-Loyal Chapter. No. 4. O. E.

SHOT AT BRITISH SHIP AJBLUI!OER Relief in Probable Developments Dispelled on Inquiry. FOUR MEN ARE WOUNDED

LONDON THINKS THAT THE MATTER WILL BE SETTLED WHEN A SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT DECIDED ON. St. Petersburg, June 19. The British embassy here has received a report concerning the firing upon the British steamer Woodburn Wednesday night by a vessel of the Russian squadron which was patroling the vicinity of Pltkipas bay, where Emperor Nicholas and Emperor William were to meet the following day. The report came from the British vice consul at Viborg from whom the embassy asked for an explanation of the incident Its contents have not been made public. The belief that any grave developments would follow the affair has been excluded, however, for.it was evidently due to some one's blunder for which either or both sides are willing to express regret. No official statement of the facts surrounding the case has yet bees given out. While private advices from Viborg assert that the Woodburn was steering in accordance with directions given her by a convoying torpedo boat, naval officers of the squadron declare the steamer was haeding directly for the Standart and that they could not afford to run the risk of having the imperial yacht run down. FOUR HURT BY SHELL8. Stockholm, June 19. Coyne, the fireman on board the British steamer, Woodburn, that was fired upon in Pltkipas bay Wednesday night by a vessel of the Russian squadron, sustained only slight Injuries and probably will be bale in a few days to leave the hospital. He declares that three other members of the crew sustained slight injuries from the Russian fire. Further details of the occurrence show that the Woodburn strayed during the night within the prohibited zone in the vicinity of Pltkipas bay. Her captain evidently was unfamiliar with the published regulations. The Russian torpedo boat fired first three blank shots which were followed up by four projectiles. f EXPECTS COMPENSATION. London, June 19 The firing on the British steamer Woodburn in Pltkipas bay has not yet been reported to the foreign office and the owners of the vessel are awaiting her' return in order to secure full details, when they will ask for a complete investigation of the circumstances. Officials are inclined to believe that the action of the Russian vessel was due to some misunderstanding which can easily be explained, and that the matter will be settled by the payment cf compensation. CZAR AND KAISER PART. Frederickshamn, Finland. June 19. The German imperial yacht Hoheniollern, with Emperor William on board. steamed away in the direction of Dantzig yesterday afternoon. She was escorted by a cruiber, and exchanged the customary salutes with the Russian squadron as she left Pltkipas bay. Emperor Nicholas has luncheon with Emperor William on board the Hohenzollern at noon. No formal toasts were proposed, but the farewells between the . two rulers was of the heartiest nature. Premier Stolypin, Foreign Minister Iswolsky and the German ambassador to Russia, Count von Pourtales, returned to St. Petersburg yesterday afternoon. Kmperor Nicholas will remain In Pitkipas bay.
