THE MADISON SCHOOL,
eli Madison Avenue, corner 6lst Street,
New YORK.
October 27th. 1898.
My DEAR FATuEE:-I have no import
ant or very interesting news to offer. l
have about decided to settle in my present
position for the year. The baron has in
creased his offer to me and / am quite well
pleased with the situation In general.
An electrical laboratory is to be put in
aud / am to have entire charge of it. 1t
will be just what make 1t, so that shall
reap the blame or the credit for its failure
or success and shall have an opportunity
Of bringing myself before the ''swell SET"
New pupils are still entering. One Of
the recent corners was for two years a
student in Yale and is coming most especi-
ally for work in the laboratory Of which
have just spoken. Roosevelt's son is to
enter soon.
As said in my last letter, the money
remuneration is not great, but l believe
the opportunity for glory and reputation
Is greater than have ever had before.
The contrast between this and public
schools is very great
am lately introducing young Croker
into the mysteries of Algebra. He is a
boy OF good solid mind but is not especi-
ally rapid in the work. The brightest
boy in this. my lowest class, is one of the
Haas boys, two of whom are in the school.
FIVE successive classes keep my time
occupied from $40 until 1890, when we
have an hour for lunch. One more class
keeps me busy until 2:l0. Soon the labor
atory will take most OF my afternoons.
| am very anxious to visit all of you
a gain and am thinking seriously of making
the trip during the winter vacation. Ii
do it will be my first Christmas with you
for eleven years. What long time it
seems. Eleven years ago. was youth
in years and child in experience. How
diferent the world now looks aud how
my ideals have changed and expanded.
Tangs that once awed me with their
majesty now seem not to challenge notice
| shall see you and mamma at least be.
fore the end of next summer, probably
this winter.
Good night. Take good care of your
selves and OF each other. Do you gel
lonesome with both your children away?
wish could be With you, steadily, but
what could l do in +. c. / have been
educated for a different locality and for
work in which my Old home place offers
little opportunity.
The one dream that has chung to me
through - these years has been of the
time when your declining years should be
made peaceful and happy in the compan-
ioiiship OF son who has ever sought to
reflect credit upon you by living all up
right and blameless life aud making him.
self honored among men.
Yours affectionately,
WHITE

The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of
date The blood and thunder william is a
myth nowadays. The cruel father is only
a tradition. Distance, absence and ship
wreck in these days Of cheap. safe and
swift transportation do not count. The
new obstacle is a common sense one. II
is ill-health on one side or the other, and
sometimes on both.
Men nowadays hesitate to marry = wom-
an, no matter how beautiful, no matter how
attractive, or interesting, or witty, If she is
a sufferer from ill-health. All men worth

Mystery of the Mohegan.

New York Times.
Only those ships that left port never to
be seen or heard of again have had more
mysterious fate than is-up to the present
time. at least-that which overlook the
steamer Mohegan. In one sense. indeed, the
disappearance of the former presents the
fewer difficulties to the searcher after ex-
plantations, for in their case he can offer
half a dozen theories, all of them probable
and each OF them adequate, if accepted, to
account for the tragedy. 1t is quite other
wise with respect to the Mohegan. Here
was a new and stanch vessel. commanded
by a man of long-tested skill and WELL
established character. She was passing
along a coast which, though highly dam
gerous as a place on which to be wrecked.
is as carefully lighted, as accurately chart
ed, and as wells known as any promontory
in the whole world. The time was early
evening, the weather was what a sailor
would call good; and no officer on board
could have had the faintest doubt as 70 the
steamers exact position or as to the proper
course to lay. Yet, with conditions like
these. the Mohegan ran upon the rocks at
full speed. There was no shameful conduct
after the vessel struck. but why did she
strike? That problem Is more than mys-
terious, and until il is solved the owners of
the line will live in an atmosphere of inter-
rogaton marks.

DEWEY AND THE ROPE TRADE.
An Industry That Was Much Affected
by the Blockade of Manila.

NEW OTleduS eS-OeiuOCIdI.f
and blockaded the ports he shut off the sup
ply of Manila hemp to this country" re-
marked one of the largest wholesale rope
and cordagc dealers of New Orleans, open
ing some foreign letters. II have read vol
umes about the result and the effect upon
the United States and the world of this eel
ebrated battle of Manila bay, but never
have l noticed a word in the newspapers
about it's effect upon the price of manila
rope in the United States.
IF you haven't thought of it, continued
this authority on rODeS and hemp, then
you have no idea of what an immense in
dustry the rope industry in the United
States really is. We use lots of rope. We
use it for a good many other purposes be-
sides hanging people. The rope industry
has been increasing very rapidly during the
well, the news of the Manila battle had
scarcely got cold when a certain American
dealer began to gobble up all the manila
hemp in sight He has now completely cor
nered the market. What Joe Letter was to
the wheat market this voracious Speculator
is to the American hemp market. He has
the country within his grasp and look for
manila rope to go skyward within a few
weeks. 1t is already beginning to climb up
ward. and where it will end is not in sight.
This situation is direct result of the
war, and more directly the result of Adj
miral Dewey's CAPTURE of Manila. The
blockade was established Immediately, and
the expectation of hemp was cut off. AS a
result there must be either an advance in
the price of manila or a decline in the price
of sisal. AT present it looks like the manila
will go up and the sisal go down.
There is difference in the quality of the
two grades equivalent to fully % per cent,
and it is right that there should be that
difference. for the manila IS acknowledged
by all rope experts to be fully % per cent.
better than the sisal. The market advanced
a quarter of a cent per pound on manila
last week. and it will advance still more.
Nothing can keep it from going up. as one
man holds all the manila hemp in this coun-
try.
1.-THE mills tried to shut him off some
weeks ago by lowering the price of manila
l cent per pound, but the scheme didn't go,
and now he has them by the hip. In order
to get the, material the mills will be COM
PEELED to give him what he asks. The prices
will probably continue to advance until
January, 1892 because the Philippine situa-
ton win hardly be settled before that time"
