A FEMALE MISER.
Though Paralyzed and Starving She Still
CIings to Her Money.

Though ParaIyzed and Starving She Still
Clings to Her Money.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 4-Mrs. M.
Davis, aged IS years, lives in a little cot
tage, corner of Church and Summit streets,
Westport She lies there in bed parslyzed,
almost speechless half starved and without
care, yet she has 81, 200 to her credit in the
Union National Bank in this city. She
positively refuses to allow any of this money
to be drawn for the purchase of food or med
icines The woman has been living a her
mit's life in the rear half of the little cot
tage long time. Two weeks ago a poor
woman who shares the house with her
found Mrs, Davis door locked, but it was
two or three days before she became suf-
fciently alarmed to notify anyone.
When the door was finally burst in, the
wretched woman was found lying across the
and scarcely able to talk. She now re-
ceives occasional irregular care from the
neighbors, but frequently lies whole day
without any attention whatever Marshal
Rearden sent a telegram to her son in
Omaha, telling him to come at once. The
son answered.: 81 have no money; send me
$780," When they tried to persuade the
woman to have check written for that
amount she only muttered feebly, "No
money; no money" Mayor Reiger and
Father Ryan tried to persuade Mrs. Davis,
several days ago, to draw on her account
that she might be provided with decent care
or be taken to the hospital. At one time
she almost consented, but the love of her
wealth was too great, and she. now refuses
to listen to such talk. 1t is proposed to
have the Probate Court appoint guardian
for the woman, so that some of her money
may be applied to sending her to a hos
pitaL.

canal will require, the reader can form an
idea of the extension of this great work
Mechanical science will solve the problem.
as it has solved many others for the benefit
of mankind
This ship canal will add immensely to the
defensive and offensive power of Germany.
The concentration of the divisions of the
fleet in the North or in the Baltic sea, as
the occasion demands, will be readily ac-
complished henceforth in a safe and easy
manner. The Elbe mouth of the canal and
Heligoland being "duly" fortified, in con-
junction with the naval fortress of Will
helmshaven and the Notifications at Cux-
haven will give Germany an impregnable
position in the North sea. In the Baltic
similar condition prevails.
Makes Germany Impregnable.
There the longer coast is defended by the
fortresses of Kiel Cat the same time a great
naval station like Wilhelmshaven), Dantzig
and Koenigsberg; by the forti6cations on
the island of Ruegen and others, at Wismar,
Colberg Stettin, Pillau and Memel, and by
numerous shore batteries of the heaviest
ordnance, between these points. Add to
these extensive defensive works powerful
fleet, and it will be readily understood that
Germany will not only be able to hold her
own, but also to take the offensive in those
waters against the most powerful enemy.
The commercial value of this ship canal
is evident. The distance by water between
4he West and Northeastern Europe being
shortened several hundred miles, ocean
freight to points along this route will be
proportionately cheapened, adding impetus
thereby to the worlds commerce, which is
altogether beyond the calculation of the
present day. When this great waterway
is finished there will be two canals, as the
old and smaller one which has its western
outlet further north, at Toenning on the
German Ocean, will be preserved.
This is the age of iron and Of electricity,
but it is also the age Of great tunnels and
canals which, in a less assuming way, bring
the nations of the earth nearer to each
other and promote their material welfare.

free trade people left in this country to sup
port them on the other side -
"Does not this shutdown of the Welsh
mills surprise yeu?"
''Oh, no; their action has been long since
discounted. We were apprised of the fact
two months ago that the English manufact-
urers intended to shut down soon after
July for the purpose of largely reducing
wages and salaries. As they expressed
themselves, in letters and otherwise, they
intended doing this to economize in such a
manner as to successfully compete with
the American manufacturer, and, if possible,
prevent the American people from manu-
featuring their own supply"
: 'The cablegram you have just read says
that American agents, protesting to act by
authority, are in the tin plate region Of
South Wales, claiming that they are author
lied to employ 10000 men for work in
America at an advance of so per cent over
the wages they are now receiving"
Room for Welsh Workmen Here.
Mr.. Niedringhaus toyed with handsome
American block tin watch charm for several
minutes and then said, slowly and deliber-
ately: "There is a great deal of room, of
course, for English tin plate operatives in
this country, and there is no doubt but that
they will come over by the thousands to find
more remunerative employment here. The
wages paid in this country are at least dou-
BILE, and for thin sheet rolling about treble,
what are paid on the other side, so that per-
haps their scheme of reducing and oppress-
ing labor to worse than its present condition
may not avail them
The reporter then led the conversation
up to the possible or probable profits of
tin plate making in America, and asked
directly whether the consumer would not
be the loser if the experiment should prove
disastrous. With promptness Mr.. Med
ringhaus said: SIT is no experiment. As
to the price of the plate to the American
people and the profit to the manufacturer,
I will state that the people will not pay
any more on an average for tin plates dur
Ing the next II years than in the past.
For the finer qualities, especially the extra
quality of roofing plate, they will pay less,
and then leave the American manufacturer
a profit of from 10 to 20 per cent"
A Very Bright Outlook.
In concluding the chat on tin plate, Mr..
Niedringhaus said:
"The American demand for tin plates will
incur the expenditure of about $40, 900, 900
in labor and transportation and employ 20,-
900 or %, 900 people. As our mountains
and hills are teeming with ore and fuel, it
is for the American people to say whether
or not they will allow these treasures to lie
dormant or raise them to give employment
and add to the prosperity of their people.
''The duty now imposed on tin plates
does not cover the difference between the
American and English scale of wages, but
the American manufacturers will make up
the deficiency in the nearness and abund-
ance of ore and coal"

BULKELEY's sHREWD MOVE.
A Test of Authority That Places the Con
.necticut Senate in a Hole.


HARTFORD, CONN, July 4.-Military
circles had sensation to-day in an order
from Governor Bulkeley, issued through
the Adjutant Generals Office. Nearly six
weeks ago the Senate refused to confirm the
nomination of Colonel Thomas L. Watson,
of Bridgeport, who is New York banker,
as Brigadier General, and voted that ex-
Brigadier General Graham, of Middletown,
be reinstated. L.
Nothing was heard Of the matter until
to-day, when an order was issued, in which
the Governor discharged Graham from the
military service of the State for the benefit
of the service. Governor Bulkeley's order
puts the Connecticut Senate in hole. The
Senate cannot move in the matter in any
way whatever without placing itself in the
position of recognizing Bulkeley as the
legal Governor of Connecticut.
