On the first of next month the
new tariff on tin-plate will go
into effect and it is safe to predict
that within a very short time all
the tin-plate consumed in this
country will be produced by
American mills. Until the new
works are capable of supplying
the home demand, which, by the
way, is the largest in the world,
it is probable that no marked re-
duction in prices will occur, but
there can be no doubt that when
the industry is fairly established
and the output is sufficient to
meet the demand, a great reduc-
ton in prices will take place. In
1880 all the galvanized sheet-iron
used in the United States was
imported and then cost ia cents
per pound. In 1888 the duty
was increased sufficiently to en-
courage home manufacture and
in 1899 the entire amount con
sumcd in this country was made
at American mills and the price
had fallen to 412 cents per pound
An equal reduction NAV be ex.
pected i'll the price of tin-plate
when the manufacture becomes
firmly established in the United
Sta .es. Even if no decline ii
price should follow, it would still
be wise policy for us to manufac
ture our own tin-plate, thus Civ
ing employment to an army o
laboring men and keeping the
money we now pay for the i'm
Ported product at home.

purpose to work out a new line
of practical endeavor, two
important results have been
achieved. First, a new interest

of much study and patient inves-

One charm of the book is that
a large part is arranged in the
form of questions, all of which
should be answered in the afir-

The proximity, in many villa

cellars, suggest a few of these
queries for the consideration of
thinking women.

A BATTLE WITH TRAMPS
BRAKEMAN CLEMENTs's UNPLEAs.
ANT EXPERIENCE.
Beaten Into Insensibility by Band Of
Rufians-One of the Gang Comes to
Grief-Tramps Very Numerous Along
the Railroad.

MODESTO, CAL, Sept. 26.-The Los
Angeles express this evening brought
in Brakeman James Clements, who was
suffering from bad wound in the back
of the head, inflicted by some blunt in
strument in the hands of tramps, who
were stealing ride. Clements was
found insensible ON top of passenger
coach, near Salida, after having had a
fight with large number OF tramps.
When the train stopped, tramp Civ
ing the name of James Welch, fell from
the top of the express car onto the plat
form at the depot. When picked up his
face was badly smashed; his nose and
the left side of his face were torn
badly, and his left eye was destroyed.
The cash extended to his throat.
County Physician Evans attended him
Nand had him conveyed to the county
hospital. He will probably die. No
one seems to know what caused him to
fall off.
Clements is suffering from concussion
of the brain, but will get we'll. Two of
the gang of tramps suspected of hitting
him are under arrest. Tramps are more
numerous now than at any time during
the summer.

A WANDERING G ISRAELITE
GIVES HIS OPINION OF DARKEST
RUSSIA.
The Jews Themselves Responsible for
the Prosecutions They Are Subjected
to-Baron Hirsch's Scheme Able to
Provide for Only a Small Number.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-"In Darkest Rus
sia" points out that Baron Hirsh's
scheme, if successful. can only provide
for about three per cent. of the Russian
Jews.
A letter signed can Israelite Wander
er" has been published in various pa
pers, and it is attracting attention. 1t
strongly defends Russia, and declares
that the laws relating to the Jews are
by no means SO iniqultous as imagined.
Referring to the domicile law, this letter
says it has never been altered,
but has been operated with SO
little rigor that one-third of the
Jews reside today in the govern
ment from which they were excluded
generation ago. This, he says, is sign
of gradual improvement which is least
to be expected from a semi-civilized
country like Russia.
Continuing, the writer says 10000
Jews reside in St. Petersburg and a sim
liar number in Moscow. Expulsions,
he adds, are entirely due to Jewish vio-
lations of law. Mechanics certificates
have been forged, fraudulent police per-
mits printed, and regular trade in
them prosecuted for years. Certificates
have also been used long after
the the original guarantee was
dead, and thousands of Jews without
means or trade have settled in Russia,
where they had no more right than a
pauper emigrant has to land in New
York. Numbers Of mechanics have for
saken their regular occupation and taken
to peddling, thus violating the condi-
tions under which they are allowed to
settle.
Between $50, 900 and 100000 Jews now
reside in Russia in open violation of the
law, owing TO fraudulent permits,
or by bribing officials. Being un-
disturbed, they have become
more confident, and invested money in
houses, which is against the law, and
then when orders are received to enforce
the domicile law, the outside world hears
of wholesale expulsions accompanied by
brutality but every Jewso expelled has
courted his fate. They all know what
they are doing when they pass the pale
of their domiclle. Poor Jews suffer most
from the rigor of the law, being as
peddlers and such like, at the mercy OF
every petty official, by whom they are
bounded from pillar to post. Ii Baron
Hirsch's scheme includes these poor
Jews, it takes up the most unpromising
material to deal with. they have neither
the physique for field work, nor re-
source OF any kind. They must be sup
| ported from the moment they leave
Russia until an indefinite date when
they can maintain themselves unaided.
The government will not allow the
capable, sturdy, better class, who are
all military reservists, to leave the coun-
| try.
