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. It is gratifying
to find one, here and there,
who is disposed to give credit j
where credit is due?News and

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. If they do not for i
?w months, other develop
lents are not improbable. But
