and brief sketches of men and women of immediate

Two articles in the May Review of Reviews
deal with the linsso-Japanese situation. Mr.
Charles Johnston explains in detail Russia's ap
perient readiness for waras shown by her state of
prepration on the militiary as well as the naval
side. Mr. Samuel E. Motfett, on the other hand,
describes Japan's navy, which has made a truly ranks among the liest colleges of the state.
WHY REMOVE THE CAPITAL ?
''IIIF propost n made by Representative
Voorhees of Philadelphia to remove the
( !apital from Harrisburg to Philadi Iphia is being
very much discussed. The bill provides that the
question of removal be submitted to the people
at the fall election. Whythecapital should he re
moved is a question that has not been answered,
except it be to enrich Philadelphia at the expense
of the Siate. Harrisburg is centrally located with
railroad connections diverging in all directions.
The state has millions of dollars worth of proper
ty at Harrisburg which in case of removal
would be a total loss.
Business interests in Philadelphia are d
diverscund the best interests of the Coram -wealth
would not be promoted. Harrisburg
lias always shown her ability to handle lie
crowds. Besides if Harrisburg shall no longer
be considered the State Capitol, trad a removal
proposition be in order, we suggest Middleburg
and we call upon Representative Smith to intro
duce a bill to submit Middleburg as a candidate
for public favor.

mnntha old, daughter of Mrs. C$oley;
Peter Zoolt. owner of tbo building;
Mrs. Peter Zook, Victoria Zook and
Nicholaa Zook.
The lire was fraught with an Inci
dent of the most distressing character.
The little 2-year-old daughtor of
Christiansen, who lived on the third
tloor, was terribly burned, her left arm
and her face being roasted. Her father,
a follower of Dr. Dowle, refused to al
low the little one to have medical at
tention, and fought desperately when
she was taken from him. He clung to
the burned arm of the child, and part
of the flesh was torn from the member.
When Anally the police forced him to
give up the little one he cursed them
and prayed that they might be punish
ed for subjecting his child to the world
ly science of medicine. The father was
knocked down by some person in the
crrfwd and barely escaped lynching.
