JOSIAH WOOD. Josiah Wood, the new lieutenantgovernor of New Brunswick, was born in Sackville, N. B., April 18, 1843. He graduated at Mount Allison College in 1865, studied law, and was called to the New Brunskick bar in 1866. Subsequently he entered mercantile life and acquired extensive business interests, including shipping, lumbering, manufacturing, farming and stock-raising. Hia political career began in 1878, when he was an unsuccessful candidate for the New Brunswick legislature. He was elected to the house of commons in 1882, and sat continuously until 1895, when he was called to the senate. He resigned his seat in the senate last month to accept appointment as lieutenant-governor.

The Smallest Pension. Great Britain's pension system Is as liberal as may be considering the vast number of persons carried on both the military and, the civil lists, but In one case the record for smallness of payment has undoubtedly been established. Various factors enter into determining the amount to be paid sailors, and these factors so combined against one old salt that it was found that he could draw a pension of not any more than fourpence 8 cents a year. Promptly on each quarter day there "comes an official communication transmitting the amount due in the form of postage stamps, and ho is granted leave of absence In order that he may convert this into money at the postoffice. Then, after the proverbial manner of sailors, be promptly proceeds to "blow" the entire amount New York Tribune.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY THE HATED HIRED HESSIANS. By A. W. MACY. "Hired Hessians" were much despised by the Americans during the Revolutionary war. The employment of mercenaries, or foreign soldiers who fight for pay, was formerly much more common thin it is now. During the American Revolution England had much difficulty In recruiting her armies, so she made arrangements with various petty German rulers by which they undertook to furnish troops, to serve under their own officers In America. For each soldier killed England agreed to pay (35, and for each one wounded, $12. She was also to pay all expenses, and In addition pay the Landgrave of Hesse $500,000 per annum and the other petty princes In proportion. This practice was looked upon by the Americans as degrading and Infamous, and they took particular delight In punishing the hired soldiers whenever opportunity offered. The total number of such troops brought over to America during the Revolution was .29367, of whom about 1,200 were killed or mortally wounded, 6,354 died from other causes, about 5,000 deserted, and 17,313 .returned to their European homes at the end of the war.

If They Stay With It.

The ordinance revoking the franchise of the T. H. I. & E. has gone to its third reading. There are few citizens of Richmond who will not approve of this. The notorious lack of service, the antiquated equipment and the need of extensions is the real reason for any action taken what ever the specific grounds may be. At this time we wish to call attention to the fact that the T. H. I. & E. has had its franchise revoked before. Once Thomas J. Study as city attorney had the company precisely where the company did not want to be. Everybody knows that at the last moment when Study could have closed In on the company with a paralysis of its operations unless it came to Study's terms something happened. The something that happened was that council backed water! We do not believe in hurrying, any corporation unless a corporation needs to be hurried. But the T. H. I. and "E. has forfeited any claims on the consideration of the public, the council or the board of works. For many years in this city as in Indianapolis the company has played with the public while neglecting the physical upkeep and maintenance of its property while a few men have grown rich, and still richer. The very laws of the Btate have been changed to meet the desires of these men. They are in fact ABOVE THE LAW. That being the case the citizens here have a long, long, ight for which they must prepare. Counter parry must meet parry, thrust meet thrust until after an unreasonable delay the citizens will win if they stay with it.

THEIR MONUMENT

Peasant and merchant and millionaire. Soldier and scholar and man of the sea, Mourned by the world, they are resting where No towering monument ever may be; But the waves that go rolling above them there, Where the pitiless fogs hover over the tide, Shall never efface and shall never impair The glory they gained when they manfully died. With only an hour in which to pray Where Death had found them and would not wait, They sent the young and the weak away, Intrusting them to the whims of Fate; Robbed of hope, they had strength to stay While the helpless ones and the women went, And the dark sea, rolling till Judgment Day, Is their ever-enduring monument. Peasant and merchant and millionaire, Soldier and scholar and roustabout, By the torch's fitful and feeble flare They manfully swung the lifeboats out; Whispering hopes that they migh not share, They claimed the right of the strong and brave, And their fame shall live till the last men bear . The last of all heroes to his grave. Christian and Jew and humble and high, Master and servant, they stood, at last, Bound by a glorious, brotherly tie, When doubting was ended and hoping past! They stayed to show how the brave could die, While their helpless ones and the women went, And the sea that covers them where they lie Is their ever-ending monument. S. E. KISER in Chicago Record-Herald.

of colleges and universities is called that there might be secured the counsel of that group of men who, after all, have been the center and support of student Bible study work. A very little reflection will show just bow much the professor has done directly in this work. Most of our Bible study texts have been prepared by faculty men. A large majority of the normal classes for group teacher training are led by professors. Advisory committees, supervisory committees, special, commissions, have all been served by them with distinction. And beyond all this is the wide-reaching influence on the side that 1b called personal counsel with leaders and secretaries, informal home functions for Bible groups, special help in religious difficulties; the Christian student will have the debt always with "him.

The professor who attends brings with him a personal experience, an association experience, and a mental training that enables him to distinguish the enduring from the ephemeral;

and to bring such things to counsel

means a direct service to thousands

of students on this continent. The pro

fessor, leaving Richmond, will carry

with him the interpreted experience of

the larger part of the Bible study work of all associations. What would our

student leaders feel if they knew that their work could be planned by a faculty adviser who had been closely in touch with the best recent discussion of the work the leaders were called upon to lead? Such a conference as this is full of possibility. When industrial organizations are making investigations at regular intervals, surely It becomes us in this serious matter of promoting the

, study of God's word through the Bible

to give the best of our time and attention freely and conscientiously!

RICHMOND IS REGARDED AN IDEAL PLACE FOR HOLDING THE 010 BIBLE CONFERENCE

In a recent issue of the "Intercollegian," a publication of the student department of the international committee, Young Men's Christian Association, appeared an article on the professors' conference, which is to be held here May 2 and 3, in which flattering comment was made on the city of Richmond. It said: "The conference is to be in pleasant and stimulating surroundings. Richmond, Indiana, is called familiarly the 'Panic-Proof City.' It has a population of "about 30,000. Around Richmond lies some of the most valuable agricultural land in the Mississippi valley. The citizens have given the conference the moBt openhearted welcome, and have undertaken to provide entertainment for all delegates. Relating to the conference in general the article says: Everyone will say, "Here's another conference!" The burden of proof is upon the man who, in these days suggests any more "conferring" of any kind. Such an attitude is both just and unjust. Fruitless conference Is a serious waste of good material. But it must be remembered that by the conference .method some of the very best things have been conserved for the Student Christian Association, for denominations, and for various other organizations set to service for men. Conference enables the successful

I foray of a single party to be turned

into a great irresistible movement

forward all along the line. A confer

ence is certainly to be looked upon as

a matter of necessity and of prime

importance if the Issue at stake is

large enough.

Any movement that takes anything

for granted, so it is said, is lost. Confi

dence that leads to a blind pursuit of

old methods is gradually preparing

ruin. The work of the Bible study de

partments of the Student Christian Associations of the United States and Canada has not been a small work. It has spread abroad with such wonderful rapidity and intensity of interest that there is no longer left In any mind the doubt that the Bible can

appeal to the educated man. Last year

some forty thousand tests for student

study were distributed among our student associations from the central pub

lishing agency; and this, of course, is exclusive of many other texts and outline courses. The recent progress toward securing a greater efficiency

in the leaders of groups has meant

much in the work, and the returns

have been rapid and satisfactory. Yet

in the face of all this, perhaps, it is proper to say, because of all this there must be an immediate restudy of the whole field. Weaknesses In the work will be discovered and new lines of experiment started. The situation must be restudied now. And the conference of professors

long tail, and having on Its head, a muzzle, constructed like a halter. The condition of the small boy is not seri

Another dog, not muzzled, caused

consternation on North Fifth street yesterday. It bit a small girl and several horses. It could not be caught by
