amount. $5o0,000, in the profits. The
answer was that it would undoubt-
edly cost the company three times
that amount to get the product in its
original channels again. This is a
pretty good pointer to those business

great saving when they discontinue

A number of the trio of school
chart fakirs called on the Herald man
this week for sympathy on account
of a very mild "roast" they received
last week at the hands of the Obser-
YER. All the Herald has to say, is
that it does not blame the venders of
almost worthless school charts near
ly as much as it does the home peo-
pie, especially teachers, who will rec
ommend them for the consideration
of the school boards. However if
any of these public benefactors (?)

SPAIN FINDS FUNDS.
Report OF the Purchase Of War
Vessels at London is
Confirmed.

London. March S.--The English news
papers today confirm the news of Spain
purchase of warships. The St James
Gazette, which yesterday published the
dcnials of the Spanish embassy and Span
ish naval commission. which has an office
i'll London. says today:
1T is ascertaincd on very high author
ity, i'll spite of denialS, that the Spanish
government has almost certainly succeed

which secured the Chilian and Brazilian
cruisers of the Armstrong;, at cost be
llcvcd to he t1,0U0,o0O. almost before
the move was SuSpcctcd.'
The article goes on to say that much
competition between Spain and the United
States for these various ships construct
ing was expected. but America has come
to the conclusion that its naval resources
are strong enough to confront Spain. and
Is playing Il waiting game.
Spain Pays for Then; We Take Them
Continuing. the st. James Gazette
says: An American naval authority now
IN this country takes cynical view Of the
SIN torpedo boats building for Spain here
and of the three already delivered. which
might just as well be paid for by Spain
III the first instance, and make valuable
additions to the United States navy later

The article quoted also points out that
the earliest time in which the Gillian

finished. is three months. and adding that
the other vessels purchased Will take
longer to finish, 50 that in the event of
war. (which will come soon if ut all" the
ships will be useless. aS international law
will prevent their delivery.

marks: "A feature Of the WarShip mar
