Three Month* 25 ct* Iu Advance. Wednesday, May 9, 1900. A leading illustrated article in the May Magazine Number ot Tiie Outlook is "New York's Underground Railway." In this the author, Mr. Earl VV. Mayo, tells, with original and unique illustration, the story of the rapid transit enterprise, giving picturesquely and intelligibly an account of the methods to be used in building the road and the results it will accomplish. The Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell, D. D., preached a striking sermon in the First Baptist Church of Wilmington, last Sunday night from the text. "The making of many books there is no end;" his lllhiflof. wna "Tbix Mubinir nf Rooks, Printers, Telegraphers and Newspaper men." Mr. Blackwell did not adopt the plan, which is ro common with many preachers, of attacking the pr< 8s; on the contrary, he declared that "the printing office is school, college and university for the brightest intellects of every age," and ad ded : "A newspaper office is a school of unselfishness. No other class serves a community so well and too often for so little pay, either , in cash or appreciation. Every day and night the newspaper is doing free work for the general betterment of the community. If n lawyer waa railed unan hv the city authorities to do for the city the same amount and no more ( valuable writing than that which 1 every newspaper does free every ' day the charg? would be $50 or 1 more. If the newspapers were to cease for a week it would be as I dark and lonesome as if the pall I of an eclipse covered us, and Wil j mingron would be to the out?ide ' world practically an though ahe | were not." Dr. Blaekwell ia right. The newspapers do more free work , for the communities in which ( they are printed than any other | institutions or individuals. It is bad enough to work without pay 1 ?it is worse to work without ap preciation. The pulpit is too often in antagonism to the press, and the newspaper appearp to be a favorite subject for moralizing on the part ot ministers The preachers will know better after awhile possibly.

C., May 3.? a That disaster threatens Great rI Britain as a result of the war in r the Transvaal is the belief of F John W. Foster, of Indiana, t< former Secretary of State. Mr. c Foster, who is recognized as e >ne of the foremost authorities a in this country on subjects of e liplomacy, said to-day : tl "It is much to be feared that o England is engaged in a pro- o racted and in the end an alarm- b ingly costly enterprise in her n irmod contention with the ri Boers. It is to he anticipated ( that in the end, through the s< might of numbers and superior u resources, England will win, T but that will by no means end * die strugglo. At the present cl rate progress is not only slow, cl but every day's delay must in- tl rrease the difficulties of the sit- o nation from the military point tl >f view, and the same may be rr mid with respect to a solution o >y diplomacy. "It has been the history of nr ill such struggles, and England tl ias been no exception, that in ti he disturbance of commercial it elation and other questions p i i__ i _ n ii m J_I i 'I lore or less involved other naons become restive. There light be no desire to interfere n general principles, but the ifluence of the financial, indusrial and commercial interestf ften compels governments te ct from economical considera ions. "The experience of the wai iius far has effectually estab Lslied the prestige of the Boors s fighters. They may be abh o continue.
