Compliment. Of Herr Krupn

According to an interesting rumor, our
esteemed friend, Herr Krupp, intends
giving that mammoth shooting iron now
at jackson park to Chicago with his
compliments. If this is SO, then Herr
Krupp has our best thanks and all the
courtesies that are to be had in such an
inefably bad season of weather. The
gun weighs 10000 pounds and over,
and as it cost $4,000 to make it Herr
Krupp's testimonial would involve some
little expense
But really we are not at all sure we
know what to do with the weapon. The
city has no marine defense to sustain,
and couple Of trusty derringers in Off
cial hands are the only weapons needed
in clearing out offensive bumboats. 1t
costs 81 200 to shoot the thing, and that
is quite tidy sum to pay for the priv
ilegs of bowling over targets placed out
in the midwaters Of Lake Michigan.
And when. it went off we greatly fear
that some of Mr.. O'Neill's inspected
hotels in the neighborhood would draw
themselves up and drop into dust heaps.
Besides, the thing would have to have a
fort to be housed in. And having one
fort we should need to have two to be
really thoroughly equipped. Having
these, we'd want more guns, and more
marines, and more gunpowder. And
then with all these, what use would they
be unless we got up war just to have
everything in keeping5 .a4
Still, it's great gun and an infuen-
tial discourager of inimical advances.
If we must take it, Herr Krupp has our
thanks.-Chicago Record.

the professional ''uncles" in this city.
The Peoples Bank association. newly
formed organization for rescuing the
poor from the clutches of grasping pawn
brokers, promises to open at least one
pawnshop in New York within few
months.
Alfred Bishop Mason, a member Of the
firm of sprague, Duncan q Hutchison,
limited, of 10 Wall street and trustee
of the Charity Organization society, has
been the chief mover in forming the Peo-
ple's Bank association. Hs promises to
open the main Office of the concern with

shop branch will be initiated in some
part of the city where tenements and
poverty are plentiful. The chief object
will be to lend money at a low rate of
interest ON clothing and household goods.

per month interest" said promoter OF
the scheme to me Ordinary pawn
brokers charge 8 'ent for the first
month and per cent q nth for all after
that. Our scheme will be to charge as
little ss possible for the accommodation.

Don,t KNOW President Carnot.

It will be very difficult for NJ. Carnot
to manage constituent elements of the
force to be controlled, and he certainly
is not managing them successfully now
They are growing impatient of the me

ashamed of them, and there is a dispo
sition in consequence to fasten response

quite new. If he persists in his plan, WI

Reversible Plush.

Commencement has been made in Eng
land within comparatively recent period
upon the manufacture of what is regarded
as an important new fabric-an inexpen-
sive weft pile plush, with either single
pile or pile on both sides. A reversible pile
plush has in times past been made in the
factories of Germany with hand looms at
the rate of some six yards to the loom per
week, but by means of the newly contrivcd
apparatus, which has been devised by q
Bradford manufacturer and can be fixed to
ordinary dress and coating looms, it is said
to operate at seven times the speed of the
German hand loom and to make goods Of
equal quality at less price. The new goods
have weft pile, and consequently a very
much cheaper yarn can be used, New York
Gun.

Frightfully Good.

There are some very pious people in
Washington. You might not suspect it,
but it is nevertheless true.
These people have entered on crusade
against the Sunday ice cart. There must
be no delivery of ice on the first day of
the week, The rumble of the clumsy
cart must not be heard in the streets to
excite the delicate nervous system of the
altogether too religious.
When man is so awfully good that
he can't drink ice water on Sunday, his
case becomes serious, and consultation
of eminent physicians ought to be had at
once.
There are folks so oddly constituted
that they have the hysteria over Sun
day ice cart, but are little bit toe
shrewd in horse trade on Monday. It
wouldn't do any harm if such peoples
religion were to have hypodermic in
lection of common sense.-New York

The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter has been denouncing the Reform
clubs proposed tariff bill because it
leaves duty of only % per cent on
woolen goods. This or any duty of less
than 40 per cent would not only ruin
the wooden industry, but would send the
party that should pass such bill to
obstruction on toboggan slide" Some
one who signs himself Inquirer" upsets
all these calculations and completely
stumps the editor by the following letter,
printed in The Wool Reporter of April 10:
"What class of goods would it be pos
sible to make with 25 per cent protec-
ton? The United States census Of 1890
gives the wages paid to woolen mill op-
eratives, S77,591 ,525; cost of materials
used, $2OS,971 ,624; value of products,
Ss45, ,942 1924. This is 21.8 cents for labor
and 81 cents for stock to the dollars
worth of goods. If free wool should re-
suit in reduction of 20 per cent in the
cost of stock and the wages should re-
main the same, our stock and labor cost
would be 62.9 cents. English stock same
cost and labor cost assumed at one-half
of ours would make his cost 51.9 cents
on which the tariff would be 1919 cents
that is, his labor plus his tariff would
bo more than our labor.
"If we do not pay more than 90 per
cent more wages than the foreigner, his
tariff would be 1879 cents, making his la
bor and tariff 28.4 cents, or about 25 pei
cent more than our labor cost. If free
wool did not lower the price of it, his
tariff would be more still--that is, ou1
advantage would be more than in the
supposed case. These figures cover all
woolen goods made in the United States
and the foreigner could not compete with
us if we were protected 25 per cent
Still he might on certain lines. With
this in mind l asked a very well known
manufacturer of dress goods and medi
UNI quality cassimeres for an estimate
of the labor and cost Of his goods. HiE
figures were much larger for stock cost
and trihe lower on wages. His esti
mate was: Stock, 65 cents; labor, 20 cents
and probable reduction of 10 cents il
the cost of stock in the case of free wool
This would give us cents per pound ad
vantage if we now pay double the wages
or cents if we only pay one-half more
If we pay three times the wages the for
eigner does, we would have an advantag,
through the tariff of 2 cents per poun(
even then. What is the matter with ;
tariff rate which gives such showing
as this?"

The Blex.st rre.A Water Caro-.

The new steamer Selwyn Eddy, the
largest freight carrier in the world float
ing on fresh water, was loaded recently
for her initial trip. She carries the larg-
est cargo of wheat ever shipped on the
lakes. A close estimate places her exact
capacity at 10000 bushels or about S5,-
600 bushels mere than the largest cargo
ever carried on the lakes.
An ordinary freight car carries about
800 bushels Of wheat, and the Selwyn
Eddy's cargo is equal to 800 carloads.
A train containing 800 cars would be
about two miles long. Twelve engines
would be required TO draw such train.
The cargo of the Eddy, if ground into
-four and made into bread. would feed
10000 people for one year. Detroit Trib-

Millions of butterflies are fitting about

that they will do great damage to fruit.
The butterfly ltself is harmless, but it
deposits eggs in the blossoms which,
when Matched, produce worms that feed
upon the developed fruit. Fruit grow
ers, to protect themselves from the dire
results that follow the visits of these

Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
can people to-day is not the possible adop.
tion of a wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
all these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said hati0na!
crime-of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
Yeu are likely to be one Of the victims |!
How do we know? Because it is the excep-
tion to find a man or woman of adult age in
perfect health. Nervous Disorders are
spreading with fearful rapidity. Among the
symptoms, are-Backache, Biliousness, Cold
Hands and Feet, Dizziness, Hot Flashes,

The final passage of the home rule bill
by the commons now seems to be in
sight. The committee stage may be
vexatious and slow, but the bill will go

That the dead bill will in the end prove
weapon with which the house of peers
itself will be struck down is confidently
predicted by the Liberal leaders. Before

pass through the bitterest political strug-
gle of her modern history, and strug-
gle which will involve issues far greater
