Like Mother, Like Son.

One of the most remarkable
among the feats of the postofice in
finding people-and such feats are
many-is recorded by recent New
York paper. A letter was received
at the Office in that city addressed
simply:
"To my mother,
New York, America"
The letter came from Ireland, but
as there are in New York several
women who have sons in Ireland,
the postoffice people despaired of
finding the right one. However,
the letter was turned over to the
"deciphering department." Now it
so happened that on the very day
of its receipt there an Irishwoman
came to the general delivery window
and said:
"Have We a letther from me b'y?"
The fact that a woman with the
cast of mind required for such an
inquiry should come at that time,
struck the clerk, who had heard of
the letter for woman whose name
was not given, as something more
than coincidence. 1t was quite
possible that such a woman might
be the mother of such a son.
So he took the letter, observed the
postmark, and asked the woman
where her Shy" lived. She gave
the name of the place with which
the letter was stamped. Some other
questions were asked and the an.
swers noted down. Then the clerk
gave the woman the letter, on the
condition that she should open it
on the spot and return it if it were
not for her.
She opened it, and 10 its con-
tents proved conclusively that ii
was really from her son in Ireland

4 Good Thing Spoiled.

The Arbuckles had d good thing in their enor nous coffee business, which was carried on with wide margin of profit. In the injunction they got on the Woolson Mills to prevent a further cut iu coffee they have provoked the bring ing out of facts which will disclose some thing of the profits in the coffee trade. A director ot the Woolson Mills, speak ing of the straining order procured by the Arbuckles says:
 "Only for the injunction suit hanging over our heads we would cut the price of coffee half a cent a pound. We cannot do it, however, in the face of the order of the court. Instead of losing 1,000$ a day, as it is stated by the Arbuckles in their petition against us, on account of the cutting of prices, We are making over 1,000$ day, which our books will show We have no fear of the outcome of tbe suit, because we can show the business is prospering. The price ot coffee is too high now, and we can afford to lower it if the courts will only permit us 10 do SO o"-New York Financial News.

approved and accepted plans for silver palace. The palace is to be one of the imposing features of the exposition, and the central figure is portion of the grounds to be called Eldorado. The building is to be 400 feet square, sur rounded with mammoth ornamental towers The entire structure will be GOV cred with rolled silver. The silver to be used in its external covering will be con- tributed by the miners of the great west. Over 300, ,OOO square feet of external sur tace will be covered by the precious met al. The silver palace will be used en tirely for the display of the mineral products and progress of the west. The amount of pure silver to be used in GOV ering the walls and dome of the man. moth building has not been definitely estimated It will largely depend upon the thinness of the sheets of pure metal that can be used for this purpose.-Min ing Record.

A. M. Herring, the Chicago flying ma. chine inventor, has just finished build ing an eight horse power gasoline engine to be used in propelling an aeroplane machine, which he says is the lightest engine proportional with strength ever constructed. It IS said to be so light and smooth running that it stands upon @ pasteboard box when in operation. The engine weighs only g 34 pounds. It is 23 by 515 inches, and was built at a cost of 5OO$
 The engine has twin cylinder. There are to be two engines on the aeroplane for moving propellers front and rear. The engine has two cylinders made from solid steel, bored out, then hardened and tempered and ground to size and a it. These cylinders weigh only eight-tenths of pound each Tempering the cylin. ders was the most difficult thing in building the engine, as they are only one twenty fifth of an inch in thickness, and Mir. Herring says special process had to be devised to accomplish it, Chicago Tribune

Recent dispatches contained an ac
 count of the real beginning made in New York City toward the providing of healthier and cheaper tenement houses. The movement is in charge of the City and Suburban House Company, which numbers among it's me nbers some of New York's richest men. Its aim is to slowly but surely supplant a good DOT
 tion of the tenements in that city with buildings of modern construction, of per- feet sanitary conditions and furnished with every appliance which will add to the comfort of the tenants. These apartments are to be let to reuters at as low a sum as will insure reasonable re- turn to the investors. The ground of a whole city block has been purchased and
 such set of buildings will be erected imm ediately. Four houses each 100 feet square will be put up. They will sur round a court thirty feet square The buildings will be fireproof and each one will be divided into tour compartments by unpierced fire walls running from cellar to roof. Ventilators and other san itary arrangements will be as perfect as is possible. The smallest bedrooms will be almost twice the size of the average
 tenement sleeping apartment and the

Destitution in NeW York.

The Journals report of the Restitution in the city, as shown by the statements of offices of charitable organizations, are enough to arrest the attention of even the thoughtless rich. Without exception the workers in the field of systematic charity declare that never in the clty's history has poverty been 90 widespread and so plnching as now Together with the increase of Restitution there has come 6 marked falling off in the amount of contributions to the societies which ex ist 10 combat it. The secretary of one such organizat atIon declares that among the applicants for relief this year have been people who heretofore have been among it's contributors. Dr. Toiman, of the Association for Improving the Con- dition of the Poor, notes that applicants for work this year are, as rule, a high class of men-neither tramps nor the class which IS chronically unemployed This assoclation is corroborated by the heads of the other helpful institutions.
 The most pitiful spectacle in this world is the man out of work through no fault of his own and unable to obtain employ ment That he exists is a negation of the virtue of the civilization under which he suffers. The savage at heart may hunt or fish where he will, take up and (; Gk, Ii lo .,;a of civilization is shut out by laws of mems making and by privileges of mems conferring from access to the natural sources of wealth. Imposing burdens upon him, hampering hlm by artificial limitations on every side, civ ilization-except in so far as it may be relieved by voluntary charity-leaves him to freeze and to starve.
 Every day we are told that in New York, where work for all is unattainable, money twas never so cheap" The bank vaults are crowded with it. When the bankers by com oination tried to keep the interest rate tor call loans up to t wo per cent, the great insurance and in vestment companies, embarrassed by overf owing treasuries, cut in and lent right and left at one and a half per cent, or less than half the rate the United States government has to pay. But loans of this sort are seldom made to be en- ployed in productive industries The speculator, the railroad promoter the franchise grabber and a vault full of speculative securities, finds money for his purposes easy to get. But for the merchant, the manufacturer, and, above all, for the farmer, there was never a time when the money market was so tight. It is that fact which strangles en- terprise and shuts the doors of employ ment to thousands.
 The people should approach the prob lem of increasing destitution from its right end. To relieve poverty is indeed j noble; to cure it would be better. How much monopoly of land, money and transportation has had to do with tight ening the grip of penury upon the throat of the masses Is a question winch should i engage the gravest attention ot every humane and patriotic man-New York | Journal.

The output for the year is estimated at 3,000,000$ by many, and it is safe to put it at over 2,000,000$ The production since the new mill was completed has averaged 1000 tons per month. and the average value is fixed by those best ac quainted with the ores of that district at oyer sos Ii is understood that the ca pacity of the plant is to be increased early the coming season to double the present tonnage, and should that be done the earnings will be increased to great figure. It is claimed by many that the output of the D9Llmar is today greater than any single piece of property in the west, and that were the record exposed it would compare with that which has heen set by the Utica More than one effort has been made during the year to purchase the property, and it is known that 8, 100,000$ has been refused for it.

The refusal to appoint woman to a vacant l 800 clerkship in the War De
 pArtment, for which she had passed a very difficult examination and was the only one eligible under Civil Service rules, is likely to be made the subject of a congressional investigation. The examination required that the applicant should be able to translate into English military works in French, German, Ital- ian and Spanish, to do typewriting in all of these languages; to do proofread
 ing and prepare manuscript for the press, to be familiar with library methods, cataloguing, indexing, etc also to be tested in the use of the English language and literary composition. Miss Maud Stalnaker, of Washington, D. O., was the only one who was able to pass the ex
 animation, but the War Department re-
 fused to appoint her to the position be- cause she is a woman.-Phenix Herald.

There is excuse for those who exhibit pride of birth and ancestry, pride of ti- ties, self-won or inherited, for these are or may be marks of distinction, carrying with them the more important qualities of culture, refinement and good manners Mere wealth carrIes with 1t no such pre- sumption of good personal qualities, nor does poverty deprive one of them if they were once possessed The pride, there fore, which is founded upon wealth alone is both vulgar and offensive, and should he avoided. That self respect which leads one to avoid bad or vulgar company and to select one's friends and companions from the pure of heart and cultivated of manners is, if it may be designated as pride at all, wholly commendable pride. When exhibited, as It must be by people of sensibility and culture, It will never be made offensive, but will simply inn part dignity to character and prevent ex- hibltions of that familiarity which breeds contemp .-Baltimor Sun.
