iS* To W. T. Stead, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, is due the credit of giving a world-wide notoriety to the most offensive scandal which has offended the sensibilities of this generation. A committee of representative and dignified membership, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, has testified to the substantial accuracy of the Gazette's dis-

Enough is known of the in-

C0Jvestigation, both as conducted by the newspaper and the committee, to justify jithe belief that it involves revelations as %o the "secret sins" of British noblemen

is that Mr. Stead's disclosures have not yet been supplemented by the names of all who have been ascertained .-J* to have been parties in an extreme depravity to expose which can only be ui justified by the necessity ot dr, '-ifc'.-tJTtf

Toadyism and the fellow-feeling of the depraved, and possibly a mistaken delicacy, condemn what Mr. Stead has done but every rightminded man and woman must approve the rebuke of wickedness in high places, especially so, as more stringent legislation, providing for the protection of young girls, will certainly be an outcome of the disclosures he has made.

W. T. Stead had made his mark in journalism before he assumed the chair ot the influential paper of which he is the editor. He is a born newspaper man, and possessed of high mental and moral culture. His character is blameless, and the power of his work in the premises is augmented by the unassailable purity of his life.

of a character which shows these dignifled personages to be among the most dopraved and heartless of the wretches whose existence is an abiding curse to the community. That money and power should make a prey of innocence and 'inexperience has excited the deepest indignation of the British people. The

the case.

He was born at Hoyden-on-Tyne, Northumberland, England, in the year 1850. His father was a scholarly minister of the Congregational Church, but poor, and, as a matter of necessity, the instructor of his children, whom he educated with great judiciousness. Their mental powers were harmoniously developed early in life, and before he was twelve years old, W. T. Stead could report a sermon from memory with accuracy. At the age indicated he was' sent away from home to school, where' he remained two years. When only fourteen years old he began to earn his livelihood.

His first employment was as clerk in' the Russian Consulate at Newcastle-on-Tyne. When, a few years after, he be-1 came a journalist, his extraordinary aptitude for the work was obvious, and when only twenty-one years old, he

came the editor of a half-penny Radical daily newspaper, the Northern Echo, published at Darlington, Durham, a town about forty miles south of Newcastle. While holding this position his editorial articles attracted wide attention. Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, Mr. John Morley and other eminent men, recognized their ability and when Mr. Morley needed an assistant editor in the office of the Fall Mall Gazette, he engaged Mr. Stead for the position. With the retirement of Mr. Morley came Stead's inevitable promotion to the conduct of one of the most in-

Mr. Stead was married while editor of the Northern Echo, and resident in DarJi_i

There was an explosion of natural gas in a rolling-mill recently and several workmen were blown some distance through the air, 'How did you feel, Pat, when you were going through the air?' asked the manager, of one of the victims who was not hurt much. 'Well, sor,' replied Pat, 'Oi must say Oiwas soorprised.'—Pittsburg Chionwle.
