DON'T Shut Up Our sbipvards,

The FIthian Free Ship bill is merely
another expression of the fool-born idea
that the way for this country to regain
its former commanding position on the
seas is to shut up every American ship
yard.
An industry important in time of
peace, Indispensable in case of war,
glorious in its traditions both of war and
peace, is to be stified out of existence in
order that the United States flag NAV
decorate the constructions of Greenock
and Sunderland and Belfast Tough and
Stettin and ST. Nazaire.
A proud day, indeed, when having de-
stroyed the noblest of this nations in
dustries we should go forth to reconque
the worlds commerce with fleet of
foreign-built tramps, Hessians of the
ocean!
Then our principal rival in the old CON
test for maritime supremacy will have
gained the last advantage that was in
sight when she let the Alabama loose
upon American commerce.-N. Y. Sun.

DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
Cunning Schemes for the Introduction o
Gems Without Paying Duties.
(From the jewelers. weekly.)

(From the jewelers. Weekly.)
One of the simplest devices for smuggling
diamonds is that OF. the hollow-heeled shoe.
1t is asserted that boots and shoes con-
structed so as to leave small vacant space
in the heels are easily obtained in Europe,
and they are especially manufactured for
the purpose of supplying smugglers with a
means for escaping detection.
The porous plaster has often served as a
means of seoretIng diamonds. When it is
understood that $40. 900 worth of diamonds
or more can easily be inclosed in paper
parcel about as wide as this column, one and
one-half inches high and about quartz I
of an inch thick, it is easy to comprehend
that such package can be kept securely
in place by means of an innocent but high
ly servieeable porous plaster.
One of the most ingenious methods ever
employed was the use of a cake of soap.
wherein number of diamonds had been
Embedded. 1t is highly probable that this
plan would have proved successful had it
not been that the officers of tie government
had received information that the suspected
person had diamonds with him, and searched
his effects so thoroughly that they examined
even the gem-studded block of soap.
The wife of this smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less ingenious
than that of her husband. Her hat was or
namented with punches of grapes, which,
under ordinary circumstances, would only
have awakened the envy of other wearers
of bonnets. Within the grapes were dia-
monds and fancy stones of great value.
Another smuggler was specially provided
by Providence with a smuggling device in
the. shape of a heavy covering of thick,
bushy hair, which he arranged so that it
stood up from his forehead like an impene-
trable bush. Within this mask of heavy
hair he dep osited a goodly stock of dia-
monds and succeeded for a time in escaping
the vigilance of the custom house officials.

Across Alaska on Dog sleds.
washington Post.

Few men have more practical experience
in Alaska than Mr. Charles H. Hamilton of
the North American TRANSPORTATION and
Trading Company. Though young man,
apparently not more than 20, Mr.. Hamilton
can boast of having made an 1,800-mile
journey in Alaska most of the way On snow
shoes and with sleds, accompanied only by
four Indians.
The company he represents is engaged in
extensive trading operations in this far
North territory and has established numer-
Gus trading posts along the Yukon river.
This river, though flowing through a mount
ainous region, is navigable for distance of
nearly 1900 miles, and at the present time
the company's vessel the p. B. Weare a
craft of 500 tons burden, is laid up for the
winter at point 1900 miles up the Yukon.
Mr.. Hamilton has with him a handful of
Alaskan gold nuggets, assayed at between
$3.50 and SIT to the ounce, taken out near
The line OF the British possessions There
are six creeks or gulches now being worked
in that district, and during the 80 days last
year when mining operations could be con-
Quoted about S250,000 worthssssof gold dust
was taken out The year before it only
amounted to $65, 900. The opinion of old
and experienced miners now in Alaska is
that the outlook for gold there is far ahead
of what it ever was in California, though
no prospecting for quartz has been done
yet.
During the coming mining season it is
expected that in the neighborhood of half
a million dollars worth of gold will be pro-
duced at Miller's creek, the bonanza creek
of the district, is in complete working order
There are 81 claims this creek, almost
all of which will be opened this year.
There is great need for the establishment
of some sort of territorial government, and
the appointment of customs officers and
marshals, with sufficient force to sustain
authority.
Mr.. Hamilton will start for Fort Cudabv
his company's headquarters, in July of this
year, and expects to reach his destination
about the middle of September, as arrange
ments are all perfected and a boat will be
waiting to take him up the Yukon On his
former trip the start was made too late
and he had to await the building of his boat
only to be frozen in 600 miles up the river

TO HONOR A REFORMER.
Monument In Memory of George Will
liam Curtis.

The Civil Service Reform Association,
after sounding the sentiment of many pub
lie spirited citizens of America, have ap-
pointed committee for the purpose of
erecting suitable memorial to the late
George William Curtis.
Interest in the movement seemed to be
widespread, and much affection was dis
played, not only for Mr.. Curtis but for his
work, and those who designated the Curtis
memorial committee include the names of
poets and prose writer's, presidents of col
leges, painters, sculptors. divines, lawyers.
bankers and public men. This committee,
of which Seth Low is chairman, William
Potts, secretary and William l.. Trenholm,
treasurer, have unanimously voted to raise
fund OF 900, to be devoted in part to
the procurement and erection of an appro-
pirate artistic monument, in the city of
New York, as permanent record to the
outward presence of Mr.. Curtis, and in part
to the foundation and endowment of an
annual course of lectures upon the duties
of American citizenship and kindred sub
jects, under the title of the 'Curtis Lee
tureship'' or some similar designation, the
lectures delivered in such course to be an
nually published fol distribution.
This testimonial is believed to be due to
future generations, that the unwearying
courtesy, the genius for friendship, the
literary accomplishment, the oratorical
power, the high ideal of citizenship, the de-
votion to duty. the purity of life and the
nobility of character Of the late George Will
liam Curtis should be preserved by such
memorial.

Inside History OF The Great Rail

ed The Southern Railway-what
II Means For The South.

CHATTANOOGA, Ienn., sept. 6.-The
greatest combination of private capital
ever before enlisted in one enterprise in
the United States is supporting the
Southern Railway company. From a
thoroughly reliable source the Times is
informed that the underwriters, as they
NAV be termed, of the reorganization
scheme are none other than the Roths-
childs of London and Paris. the Wander.
bits of New York-Cornelius and W. X.
The reorganization, as is we'll known,
was undertaken and successful cousum-
mated by Drexel, Morgan & Co. of New
York, and ]. S. Morgan & Co. of Lon
don. These two great banking houses
interested their richest clients-the
Rothschilds and the Vanderbilts. The
syndicate represents the greatest
aggregation of capital in the world
more than half billion Of dollars.
The Rothschilds have one-quarter.
the Vanderbilts one-quarter, Drexel
Morgan & Co., one-quarter, and ]. 5.
Morgan & Co., one-quarter. The reor-
ganization plan provided for 80 millions
of new capital and it is this sum that
the new quartette has agreed to supply,
and more il necessary. The money is to
be used in heavier rails, new bridges,
new equipment, terminals. extensions,
etc. The first annual meeting OF the
stockholders is to be held at Richmond
Va, Tuesday, October 2, and bonds to
the amount of $12O,0OO,00O on the en-
tire property will be authorized.
Thirty Millions of the bonds are to be
used in improvements. The expenditure
of this large sum Of money In the south
along the line of the Southern railway
will be far reaching in its effects. There
is now very little doubt that the South
ern railway project is simply the exten-
sion of the Van erbilt system into
and throughout the south. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio will no doubt become
a part Of the system whatever
may be the immediate result OF the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton peo.
pies plans. Through the Cincinnati
Southern the Big Four and the Wander
bilt system will be reached at Cincinnati
The controlling stock of the Central rail-
road OF Georgia is held by the Southern
Railway and when the property finally
gets into the hands of the security hold
ers, which is only a question OF very
short time, it will be found that the Van
derbilts are in control.
| The plans OF the Drexel-Morgan people
are now so near fruition that 1t is now
no longer a matter OF speculation. The
greatest railroad combination on earth
is now near completion. Twenty-Five
thousand miles OF the best railroad prop
erty in the United States VIII soon oe
under control OF the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
J bilt combination.
