Saratoga July o3-The springs" are more oovIous
than they once were. Not TO speak OF Sir William
johnson, who found High Rock Spring among the trees
OF Saratoga Valley over hundred years more
recent travellers have discovered springs bubbnS TO
the surface, with boy to adc their waters into
tumber, after cruise OF only ten minutes from one
Of the Saratoga hotels. But the time when the springs

Of some spring and seeing within the store little tables
at which people are seated drinking the spring water

many buildings devoted solely to the sale of water
they outnumber the liquor saloons four TO Sara
toga should be the earthly paradise of every PrOhib
ZIONIST.
What is the of this remarkable display Of cold
water saloons 1t is simply that the average touIist
in Saratoga is too tired to go 10 the springs most Of
which are in valley that through the heart OF
the village, and only block distant from Broadway.
Indeed, some Of the most noted springs notably the
Congress, directly upon Broadway. But the tour
ist does not wish go any distance from his hotel 1t
is far easier TO walk into where the spring water
Is sold than it is walk the spring itsef-and get
the water fresh. 1t should be added that the price is
the same both at the springs and at the stores, five
cents for as much water you want to drink, and
therefore the cost need not be compared. But the
whole arrangement tesdcs cloquenty to the dstastc

Men of Iron.

New YoRK, October 2.-The largest gath
ering in the world of distinguished men in
terested in iron and steel industries is in ses-
sion in TINS city. The visitors include
200 members of the Iron and Steel institute
of Great Britain, 200 members of the Nereln
Leutscher Eisenhuetten lente, the leading
German iron and steel association, and 100
leading French, Belgian and Swedish metal
lurgists.
They are the guests of the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers. and other Amerl-
can societies, and the most spacious and
costly quarters were engaged for them In tho
leading hotels.
For many years the iron manufacturers
and engineers of America have cherished the
plan of holding an international convention
of the trade in this country, and the success
which has at last crowned their efforts is
largely due to the cordial invitation EXTENDED
by the council of the American Institute OF
Mining Engineers, the American Iron and
Steel association, the American Society OF
Civil Engineers, the American Society OF
Mechanical Engines, and the United States
Association of Charcoal Iron workers.
The fall meeting of the American lnstitu-
ton of Mining Engineers was attend ed by a
large number of guests who have already
arrived.
The visitors will make tour of the coun-
try.
The largest delegation of all arrived from
England on the Servia.
1.-Two centuries ago the ancestors and pred
ecessors of these men passed an act OF par
lament forbidding the operation of iron
works in this country. Now they have come
| to see the mines that furnish and turn out
1900, 600 tons of iron year in the land when
| those old English legislators sought to close
! forever to the iron Industries.

THE SANTA FE.
It's New Auxiliaries in Colors

Its New Auxiliaries in Colorado.
CHICAGO, October 1.-The Evening Journal
says: A Santa Fe official virtually admitted
that his company had, in connection with its
purchase of the Colorado Midland, secured
control of the Rio Grand Western and would
operate the two as one line from Colorado
Springs to Ogden.
sin what shape does this deal leave tine
Denver & Rio Grande?" was asked of rail-
road man just back from the mountains.
''Up stump" was the pert reply. 1T
must either build to Salt Lake or sell out. l
understood before leaving Denver that Pres
ident Moffatt had been heard to say he would
parallel the Rio Grande Western with road
of his own all the way from Grand junction
to Salt Lake and Ogden. But there is an
other scheme on foot. in which think the
Rock Island and Rio Grande are interested
jointly. Some years ago the Union Paclfic
surveyed line direct from Denver to Salt
Lake. which is much shorter and less COM
plicated with heavy grades than any other
known route. If these two companies can
get that survey, they will put 1t to good use
by constructing an air line road from Denver
to Salt Lake"

An Appeal for Ireland.

New YORK, October 2.-The Sun publishes
an appeal to the people of America for
relief of the famine in Ireland. The most
Trustworthy information from public and
private sources in all parts of Ireland is to
the effect that the complete failure OF the
potato crop makes another great famine in
that most unfortunate of lands practically
inevitable. The point of actual suffering
from hunger has not yet been reached, but
the days of starvation, unless help comes,
are not far off. No appeal has been sent
out, and as probably none will come from
that source until the situation becomes des-
perate, it became no less than criminal any
longer to withhold it.
1t has been decided to organize under the
name of the american Committee for the
Relief of Famine in Ireland" 1t is pro-
posed to make its work cover both North and
South America. The personnel of the Amer
lean committee contains the following names:
Chairman. General James Grant Wilson,
honorary chairmen, Hon. r. B. Hayes, Hon.
Grover Cleveland: vice chairmen, James
Redpath, George E. Heit, Colonel Elliott f.
Sheppard, James f. Phillips, IT.; treas
urer, New York Sun; secretary, Arthur
Dudley Vinton. There will also be num-
Der of honorary vice chairmen and many
subcommittee. Chauncey NJ. Depew has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the sub-com-
mittee on transportation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 3.-The minor
ity of the special house committee appointed
to investigate the charges against Pension
Commissioner Raum-Nessrs. Lewis and
Goodnight-have united in the preparation
of a resolution setting forth their opinion OF
the results of the investigation. The report
reviews the evidence in the refrigerator case
and says: We lament the conduct of public
official who invoke. technicalities of GRIM
inal law to screen himself from proper inves-
toation and to hide from public view the
details of a business which is being con-
Quoted from one of the government bureaus,
and concerning the character of which SO
many and such damaging charges have been
made.
It seems to US that the commissioner OF
pensions has not properly esteemed the deli
cate duties and serious responsibilities OF his
great Office, nor has he measured up that
high standard of patriotic consideration for
the public service which should prevail IN
this department, adjudicating the disburse.
ments of nearly third of the revenues OF
the government. The pension Office Is alto
gether too sacred a place for the develop
ment of the personal thrift and enterprise
manifested in this record.
As the majority of the committee intend to
pursue the investigation further, at the next
session of congress, their report viii not be
made until that time.

senger association, u brought to IN end. ls
was given out officially that be is TO be COM
missioner of tho Trunk Line association, tho
place 20 long held by Albert Fink, who re-
signed on account of failing health over
year ago. Mr.. Goddard, when spoken to on
the subject, unsealed his lips for the first
time and acknowledged that any further at
tempt at concealment would be useless since
the story has been given out by those who
were authorized to speak. He admittedthat
he had been offered and had accepted the
commissionership Of the Trunk Line associa-
ton. and that after November his head
quarters will be in New York. Mr.. Goddard
gets better position than even the most i'm
aglnative guesser had picked out for him:
His salary as trunk line commissioners Will
be 5000, if it is the same that was allowed
his predecessor, which is more than double
the amount he received as chairman OF the
Western Passenger association. Mr.. God
dard was offered $4,000 year to preside
over the Southern Railway and Steamship
association, but he had already been ap-
preached by the trunk line presidents.

Canadian Complaints.

BE1LEvIILH, ONT., October 6.-The effect
of the passage of the Mckinley bill has been
to hurry forward shipments of barley, Of
which the elevators and warehouses have
been cleared. Fully half the crop. which is
a light one, has already been moved. very
large export of peas and apples has been
made All the eggs in store have also been
shipped. The prospective effect of the meas
ure will be to stop the export of barley and
peas unless the United States prices advance
to such an extent that about present prices
can be paid. The export of eggs will also
be stopped.
SARS1A, OyT.-The fact that the Mckinley
bill will come into force on October has
had the effect of materially lowering the
price of barley. A high price was paid for
several days by those buying for shipment
to the United States before the bill came
into effect. 1t is likely that the effect OF the
bill in the future will be to lower the price OF
barley in the district, and the United States
a q market for Canadian eggs i. considered
practically closed.
CAPr VINCENT, N. Y.-The seed houses
here are working full force night and day
and emptying as many schooners as possible
in order to get their Canadian grown peas
and beans into the country before the Mo.
Klnley bill goes into effect.

Boldness UnexampIed.

T1Fr1N, O., October A bold express
robbery was committed on Cincinnati,
Sandusky & Cleveland train south of here,
near Urbana. The Adams express messen-
ger was held up by masked men armed with
revolvers. The safe was ransacked, the loss
supposed to be several thousand dollars.
Immediately after the train left Urbana,
800 a. M, two masked men with cooked re-
volvers entered the express car and COM
PEELED the Adams express messenger to throw
up his hands.
They tied him securely, robbed the safe OF
packages containing several thousand dol
lars and other valuables.
Messenger Scudder was bound in his chair
with clothes line the robbers brought with
them. One of them whom the other called
'Jack" tned to kill Scudder.
Placing the revolver at his head he pulled
the trigger, but the cartridge failed to ex-
plode. The other robber then prevented
him from trying again.
While they we're at work brakeman at
tempted to enter the car and was shot at by
one of the robbers. He gave the alarm and
the train was slowed up to give an oppor-
tunity to capture the robbers, but they
Jumped from the train just as it was entering
West Liberty and disappeared in tho dark
ness, it then being about O'Clock.
When the tain pulled out of West Liberty
the two scoundrels again got aboard, holding
the entire crew at bay.
Scudder, who had been released, opened
but was compelled to retreat. The robbers
kept on board until Bellefontalne was
reached, when they again jumped off and dis
appeared.
The officers at Bellefontaine are searchi ng
ing for them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October LA ma
chine has been placed in the hands OF
Douglas Dyrenforth, of this city, the well
known patent attorney, by New England
congressman, which promises to do away
with troublesome roll calls in the house,
which often consume nearly whole days OF
valuable time, particularly if flibustering
minority desire to delay the transaction OF
business by asking for a call of the roll on
every question.
The machine is something like large
hotel annunciator, which stands in front Of
the clerk, and is connected by electric wires
to each congressman desk. By touching
button the annunciator will announce the
congre.sman's vote, either mo- or "Yes. "
When the question is put, all the members
vote simultaneously and another part OF the
machine records the totals at once. The
electric buttons in the desks are SO arranged
that only the rightful occupant of the desk
can get at them.
pBy this paten. a vote can be taken in q
minute, which it formerly required nearly an
hour to take. The congressman who IS ad-
vocating the use of this machine believes
that it will be adopted in the early part 0i
next session.

est discussion of q plan which sounds like
tale from the arabian Nights"
"If carried out, and $O,OOO,OOO OF solid
cash have been paid in, their schemes VIII
result in making q railroad train appear IKE

portation of the mails almost equal to the
telegraph, allow a business man to have hle
Office in New York and live in Chicago, with
no more inconvenience than If his home was
around the corner.
1.-THE tourist can leave any point IN the
United States one day and arrive in Europe
the next, and any one may have the oppor-
tunity of leaving Nelly Bly, back in the mid
die ages by making the circuit of the globe
ia just five days.
"The project has been completed, and, at
Springfield, the Mt. Carmel AerOnaut Man
ufacturing company will be chartered with
| capital of $2O.OO00OO.
'Within sixty days the first air ship is to
