UNION OF BIG CONCERNS.

Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller have joined hands.
A combination of the two mag
nets has been mad which
amounts in all practicalp purposes
to a general union of their inter,
ests. says the Chicago Post. MIR.
Rockefeller will become part
owner of the biggest iron and
steel working mills in the coun-
try. and Mr.. Carnegie will share
in the ownership of the richest
iron mines in the world T..
just what are the terms of the
contract which has been agreed
upon between the two dlctators
of the tremendous interests it is
not easy to say in detail. For
more than a month there has
been a certainty that some deal
was on which might or might
not result in a combination be-
tween the richest man in the
world and the most extensive
iron worker. But there was no
certainty that the trrde would be
effected. And so important was
the subject that men in the busi-
ness affected by either magnate
have been watching night and
day for a report which should
seem authertic-no matter which
way it might go.
The trade is completed, and
H. Oliver, of Pittsburg, has the
honor or having engineered the
deal. It is the last link in the
chain which gives the Carnegie
Steel company the first position
among steel producers in the
world, and at the same time
equips the Rockefeller interests
with facilities for eve4y stage of
iron handling, from the mines
where the ore is shovelcd up and
loaded upon cars at the side of
the mine, on the Mesaba range,
to the point where finished ar
NOR plates, structural iron and
steel rails are placed in the
hand of the buyer.
By the trade the steel CON-
pany is said to have obtained
control Of the Mountain Iron
property, on the Mesaba range,
and the Rathbon as we'll. The
Mountain Iron and Rathbon
mines have been among the
most prominent of the properties
of the Lake Superior Consolidat
ed company controlled by the
Rockefeller interest.
With a royalty of Is cents per
ton. an open rail rate to ship
ping docks of 80 cents, a lake
rate which employs the new
Rockefeller boats and a rail rate
from Conneaut to Pittsburg un-
der so cents per tor, it will be
readily understood how low the
cost of production can be car.
ried. With modern furnace
plants using 1900 pounds of coke
per ton. of iron from ovens con-
trolled. and with special rates >.,o1
freight on coke, those in the iron
trade can easily figure approx
mately what pig iron will cost
Garry this iron direct to stee]
works and add a cost of CONVEX
sion with waste on very cheap
| pig iron, and a figure is
reached for billets, rails and mis-
cellaneous products which is fal
below anything approached as
yet in this country.

It has created such stir that

The circular charges Rev.

obtained for alleged educational

applied. 1t charges Rev. C. S.

In spite of its lack of sigma

cular, the preachers claim to have
unearthed the author Of the

Living, for Self Alone.

The man who lives for himself
bequeaths his own folly and
poverty and meanness for his
monument. He has benefited
nobody, while he has dwarfed
and warped his own powers, and
senseless stone or marble, how
ever lavishly supplied to mark
his resting place, does him no
honor. He has lived in himself,
he has died III himself, and all
that he leaves in memory Of
himself speaks no word of praise
in his behalf, no word of justih
cation. This is no true life. 1t
is the worst Of failures. There
are glorious opportunities Ill this
world for services. He who
wisely uses them enriches both
his race aud himself, and dying
leaves a monument which out
lasts granite and is brighter than
polished brass.-Ex

The Populists held their coun-

not long ago, when a country
lad, who proved to be something
Of Wag, journeyed thither with
four young puppies for sale.
After casting about for pur-
chaser for some time, he was
finally accosted by one Of the
delegates with

"Yessar," promptly replied the
lad, seeming a sale.
"Are1l' they two young? They
havn't their eyes open yet"
The dog merchant assured the
would-be purchaser that they
were old enough to be raised
without any difficulty, and, after
adding that they were Populist
puppies, finally succeeded is dis
posing Of two Of them.

The Pasquotank County Dem

was an orderly and harmonious
gathering. There were several
speeches made and different

tion was to nominate delegates
to the State Convention, which

Those chosen were E. F. Aydlett,
Geo. w. Ward, F. NJ. Grice, w.

The test will come, on that
fatal day in November, to the
man who has promised to be
faithful to his wife, his children,
his home and his country. Let
Mckinley be elected President
of the United States if you will;
let Congress remain in the hands
of the rule ruin bosses if you
think best; even let our sister
Southern States retard III their
erea of progress, but for the sake
Of mother, home and heaven do

North State of ours go into the

That Mrs. Fleming poisoned
