The transporiers by water are getting better
rates and larger share of the business than for
five years past, the tonnage for the season being
close to the largest ever known. But stocks
advanced last week just 81 per share, and have
not been as high at any other time since early
in March.
The outgo of So, 600, 900 gold last week is a
thing not to be overlooked. Many think it evil
dence that foreigners have been realizing ON
securities. The conclusion may be correct. but
it is not necessary. Imports of merchandise for
four weeks of May at New York have been %.
per cent larger than for the corresponding
weeks last year, while the exports from New
York have ben S.3 per cent smaller The
bank statement of Saturday did not reflect the
gold exports, and shows no changes worth
noting in the next statement the effects NAV
be covered up by Treasury disbursements.
Treasury receipts, however, do not show much
improvement in cash for the week, executing
100000 in legal tenders, and for the month
the Treasury has lost 81 100000 in amount of
gold owned, about 100000 in legal tenders
and 100000 on bank accounts, while it has
gained $3,l30,OO0 in amount of silver owned.

One of the questions which now agitate the
British people, when the crops, the bad STATE oi
trade and the Home Rule bill do not occupy
their minds, is railroad management. People
differ widely on this subject, but perhaps they
NAV be classified in three great divisions those
who believe in letting the companies alone 10
do as they please; those Who want the Govern
ment to supervise both rates and management !;
and those who want the nation to own ana
operate the roads. Much has been said IN FAVOR
of each of these positions but the best imam
cers in England seem to agree that the law
of competition will not protect the pubic, ana
if that is true, then nothing bat Government
supe,vison and ownership remains. The plan
suggested for Government supervision mas
been embodied in the great Railway biil intro
duced in this Parliament by Mr.. Mundela; II
provides for a commission something IKE the
Interstate Comm cree bill recently passed by
the Senate. The views of the men who want
the nation to own the railroads absolutely are
clearly set forth to-day in TIE TRIBUNE :

Therefore, to inspire confidence in the undertaking

German. of course, about sixty years

works sixteen hours day. He came
to this country as poor as church

began making oatmeal by hand-mill
in his woodshed. Finally he sold his
saloon, peddled out meal and farina
from q hand-cart, which he wheeled
about town himself, and in thirty
years built up the largest factory OF
that kind in the world. He won't hire
a man in any capacity who drinks
whisky or even beer, and has about

are mostly Germans, and strange to

Edmund Kean.

On the Goth OF January, 1914, an
obscure country actor, named Ed
mund Kean, who had been engaged in
sheer desperation, a very model OF a
strolling player, shabby, almost shoe
less, whom the mediocrities treated at
rehearsal with unconcealed contempt,
appeared at Drury-Lane as Shylock to
an Indifferent and half-tilled house,
but when the curtain fell upon the
fourth act it was upon such a burst OF
wild enthusiasm as had not been heard
since the night Siddons played Isa-
bella for the first time before London
audience. The next day all London
was ringing with the fame OF the new
actor. Richard was his next imper-
sonation. "Just returned from seeing
Kean IN 'Richard,'" wrote Byron in
his diary. "By Jove, he is a soul!
Life, nature, truth, without exaggera-
ton or diminution" Coleridge said
it was reading Shakespeare by flashes
Of lightning. The receipts rose from
e1OO to 5000 nightly. After his third
appearance Whitehead raised his sal
airy from fs to ego. One week the
committee presented him with f1OO,
the next with $500, while splendid
presents flowed in upon him from all
sides. Society fawned upon him, fiat
tered him, courted him. During six
years he sustained the fortunes of
Drury- Lane upon his own shoulders;
rivals rose up, fine actors, but all paled
before the splendor of his overwhelm-
ing genius.-The Gentleman's Maya

SLOW Bridget

The Colonel of q raw New York reg
iment, which had been hastily raised
and sent forward, suddenly found his
command the only reserve or sup
porting force to brigade engaged in
his front and which was fast breaking
to the rear. The stream of wounded
and stragglers, with direful reports
from the front, made his new men
nervous and distracted their thoughts.
They had been recruited largely in the
towns along the Erie Canal. The Or
der came to move forward under fire
and engage the enemy. With many
misgivings, not unwarranted, as to
the result he put the line in motion,
and, in spite of his utmost efforts.
saw it bend, WAIVER, and partially sep:
arate. just then two enormous
elongated percussion shells struck the
ground about 20 yards in front, and,
without exploding, bounded over his
regiment with the most terrible whir-
ring sound imaginable. Of course
every man stopped and ducked his
head almost to the ground. He felt
sure the line would go to pieces. But
at that instant some canal boy with
native drawl sang out" Low bridget"
The effect was almost magical. "Low
bridge!low bridget" was shouted amid
cheers and laughter from one end to
the other. The regiment assumed it's
proper shape and went in to stay and
to win.-Chicago Tribune.

A Russian Court Fayorite.

Princess Natalie Kurakin, says the
London Figaro, was all imposing
beauty, with the temper of a fiend,
and became the most admired and
feared woman at the court of the late
Emperor Alexander. Her husband
idolized her, but unfortunately al
lowed her complete control over him.
To indulge her love for luxury, he
went beyond his means, and then
sold one estate after another. One
night, when she was adorned in full
splendor for a court ball, the general
kept her waiting. At last he came,
greatly excited, with red face and
flashing eyes. She supposed the
excitement was caused by wine, and
told him so in vehement words. "No
darling" he protested; 'look!" and
he handed her q package of rouble
notes. "Bah" she cried, II will cure
you OF clubs and gaming!" and she
threw them into the fire. He shrieked
in despair, and rushed forward to
save them. Too late! There was q
bright blaze, and they were 60 e.

"you have just destroyed our whole
fortune. To-day l received orders
from the Emperor to join the army
in the Caucasus tomorrow. In order
to secure yours and our sons future.
/ to-day sold our last estate, ard
everything now is in ashes" Gen.
Kurakin was killed in one of his first
engagements in the Caucasus, and
Natalie became the most heartless Of
widows.

Rewarding Digmfed Honesty.

From the Chicago News.
A very small newsboy stood at the
corner OF Superior and Clark streets
q few days ago. Under his arm
was a solitary and despatched copy Of
the noon edition of the Daily News.
Satisfied either by the plethoric con-
dition of his pocket, caused by sue
cessful run of business, or by the
warmth OF the sun he disdained to call
his wares.

North Side Street Railway Company

palm OF the dignifed purchaser.

The dignifed gentleman blushed to

CHINA'S GREAT WALL,
How it Looked to u Venturesome Ameri-
can Who Scaled 1t.


Mr.. Richardson of the Davenport,
(Ia.,) Democrat, who is now engaged
in tour around the world, says in a
recent letter to his paper, written at
Picking, that the great wall Of China is
thegreatest of the worlds wonders. 1t
crosses mountain range and gorge
about 80 miles from Picking, and the
journey thither is rough and perilous.
It took six mortal hours to make the
last Is miles. To quote from the letters
Squeezing through the last deep
gorge and deep riftsin the solid rock
cut out by ages OF rolling wheels and
trampling feet, we reached the great
frowning double, FASHIONED gate of
stone and hard-burned brick--one
archway tumbled in. This was the
object of our mission-the great wall
of China, built els years before our
era; built OF great slabs of well-hewn
stone, laid in regular courses 20 feet
high and topped out with large hard
burned brick, filled in with earth and
closely paved on top with more dark,
tawny brick-the ramparts high and
thick and castellated for use of arms.
Right and left the great wall sprang
far up The mountain side, now straight,
now curved to meet the mountain
ridge, turreted each 800 feet, frown-
ing mass of masonry. No need to tell
YOU OF this wall-the books will tell
you that-how it was built to keep
the warlike Tartars out-twenty-five
feet high by forty thick-1 200 miles
long, with room on top for six horses
to be rode abreast. Nor need tell
you that for 1 400 years it kept those
hordes at bay, nor that i'll the main
the material used upon it is just as
good and firm and strong as when put
in place. To tell you how one feels
while standing on this vast work ,scru-
tinizing it's old masonry, it's queer old
cannon, and ambitious sweep along
the mounts ain crest, were only folly. In
speechless awe we strolled Or sat and
gazed in silent wonder. Twelve hun
dred miles OF this gigantic work, built
on the rugged craggy mountain tops,
vaulting over gorges, spanning wide
streams, netting the river archways
with huge, hard bars of copper; with
double gates, with swinging doors and
bars set thick with iron armor-a
wonder in the world before which the
old-time classic seven wonders, all
gone save the great pyramid, were
merest trifes-toys. The great pyra-
mid has S5,OOO,OOO cubic feet; the
great wall $3.50. 100000 cubic feet.
An engineer in Stewards party some
years ago gave it as his opinion that
the cost of this WALL figuring labor at
the same rate, would more than equal
that of the 100000 miles of railroad
in the United States. The material it
contained would build wall six feet
high and two feet thick, straight
around the globe. Yet this was done
/ in only 20 years, without trace OF
debt or bond. 1t is the greatest indi-
vidual labor the world has ever known.
You stand before it as before the great
