the coming week promises to be more
so. In two weeks there will be proba-
bly, more factories iu operation, and
more men employed than for number
Of months. The immediate outlook is
very satisfactory.

absolutely necessary 90 profitable Ouer-

combination OF the three concerns 10 is
alleged by the stockholders would make

the United States. The advantages
OF zoe proposed concentration Of inter
ests ara apparent. Besides the sharp
competition with outside manufacturers
the local mills are competing with each
other. Tue outside competition is with
larger concerns than the individual

of the difheren. mills would make ore

men. With one board of directors and

BABY COULD TALK. :

AND the Baldheadcd Man BEade a
Martyr OF Himself.
Tho birds sang blithely; gentle, re-
freshing breeze played with the green
foliage;a sky of undefiled azure bent
over a rejoicing world; but the Young
woman in the first class coach was IN
different to all else save the ill favored
baby In Her arms. Upon the infant she
was showering admiration IN lavish
quantities. The train had proceeded
about fifty miles when she found herself
constrained to share her ecstacy with
the tall, baldheaded man just across the
aisle.

gazing at the baby, "could be sweeterY'
The baldheaded man smiled in q
sickly way. Several sweeter things
than baby seemed to occur to his mind.

The young woman was replying to
herself, radiant with maternal love.
Messing, no, Messing was sweeter."
She had buried her face in the raiment
of the i'll favored infant to whom she
was iterating her positive declaration.
The baldheaded man felt it his duty to
say something.

The young woman appeared to BIO as
tonished that there should be any doubt
about it.
"Why, that child" she enthusiastical-
ly insisted, ''can say everything"
With triumphant smile at the tall,

ceeded to illustrate.

the baby could say anything.

The Home of tho Shetland POW.


LERwICK, Shetland Islands, Aug. o.
The pony season is about over and the
Yankee buyers are turning toward home.
The Mckinley bill has had very percepti-
BILE effect on the export of Shetland ponies.
The bill puts duty on all ponies not eligi-
BILE to register with five recorded top
crosses. Formerly importers could get any
kind of live stock through the customs by
making affidavit that 1t would be used for
breeding purposes. Thousands of Iceland
and Welsh ponies were sent over from
Leith and Glasgow and sold in the Ameri-
can markets as Shetland stock, and a lot
OF not overly scrupulous Scotch traders
bought up old, broken down and blemished
ponies and shipped them to the United
States under affidavit that they were
brought over to improve the pony stock of
the country.
The new law requires that they shall be
recorded in the pony stud book Had the
law gone into effect q few years earlier it
would have shut out all ponies from Amer
lean ports for the stud book Is not much
older than the law. The heavy duty i'm
posed on nonpedigreed animals Is prohibi-
tive.

eventually prove OF value to the Shetland
ers, to whom the rearing of ponies has
grown very profitable. Thirty-five years
ago good pony could be had here for q
guinea, and now they will bring ten.
Lord Londonderry sold very small and
beautiful stallion at public sale few
years ago at q price which is said to have
been equal to his weight in gold The
smallest ponies fetch the longest prices.
Until the foreign demand became so
great they were sent to Scotland to pull
cars in the coal mines, and the smaller ones
were chosen because they could 90 through
the low galleries with their loads Amer
lean traders are not as particular now
about size as formerly, except when buy
ing for stud use, as the medium sized
ponies find more ready sale, but at lower
prices, than the smallest.
American grown Shetland ponies are
coming into active competition with native
Shelties, and as they can be grown cheaper
than they can be imported other markets
must be looked TO soon.

Among the greatest trials of the Glas-
gov Office is the tPuble with the cattle
men, and in manycas their wives. On
the ships coming into Glasgow with live
stock, to every twenty-five head of cattle
shipped from America there is one man al
lowed or provided for until they get to
Scotland. Then he must get back. And
in most cases they spend. lose or drink
their money, then fly to the consul to get
them home. This, however, is not the most
trying part, for they sometimes bring their
wives with them and desert them, very
often taking this means of Kidding them
selves Of them. OF course they apply to
Judge Brown, and as this government
makes no provision for them. very often
he pays their passage home, not knowing
whether he will ever be repaid or not

end. This Is about two miles from the Of
flee.
Judge Brown is to return to America on
short business trip in few days, and it Is
with the pleasure of a schoolboy that he
thinks of it. When asked the other day if
he intended to take an active part In the
coming campaign, he said that was an I'M
decided question.
Consul Brown was a member of the Re-
publican state central committee of Ohio
for several years. He was also a member of
the state executive committee and chair
man Of its finance committee He was
probate judge In his county for three
terms. He has also taken active part in
church affairs, is q member of the NJ. E.
church, and has been a lay delegate to every
lay conference held since that provision has
been incorporated into the church govern
ment. He was also member of the gen.
eral conference of 1880.
The Judge Is the firm friend of his party
and warm personal friend of both ey-
Governor Foraker and Senator Sherman.

There is one thing that may be truly said
of this United States consulate, and that
Is the offices are the finest in appearance
and most convenient of any in Europe. AS
rule these offices are shabby, dingy and
most poverty stricken. Why should Uncle
Sam select man capable of representing
the country in q credtable manner and
then give him an Office which takes away
the dignity of his position by it's very ordi-
nary appearance? Many man has been
appointed to consulate who would in the
proper sort Of surroundings have com
manded all the respect and recognition
due to an important and great country.
But with very meager salary with which
to do any entertaining and such q poor
showing in the way of consulate, the
representatives of the United States can
not keep up with the pompous dignitaries
of other countries.
The consulate at Glasgow, however, Is
in a very nice neighborhood, removed from
the din and noise of the main thorough
fares and in a part Of the city where rents
are low. Nothing could be nicer than the
situation of the building, which is on the
corner of Wellington and West Regent
streets, both wide, clean, quiet streets.
The building itself Is five story gray
stone affair, very much like all the other
buildings in Glasgow. Our consul has a
suite OF three rooms on the ground floor
all light, pleasant and comfortably fur
nished. Judge Brown has added furnish
ings which help greatly in making the
reception room appear homelike and COM
Portable.
The government does not provide resi-
dence for the consul, and If the rents in
Glasgow were very high our consul on his
meager salary would not be living in the
