Details of Consolidation.

1t is impossible to speak of any sort of trust consolidation without bringing J. Pierpont Morgan, the arch consol- dator of his time, to mind And this moves one to mention the fact that while he is undoubtedly entitled 10 all sorts of credit for his wonderful achievements in that line, there is man little known to the public who has fairly earned a share therein.
 This man is Charles II. Goster. spe- cial partner in the banking house of J. F. Morgan 6 Co. He began life as a shipping clerk in the employ of the once financially and commercially i'm portant Fabri, and step by step, be- cause of ability and hard work. rose to partnership in the house. He joined his fortune to Morgan's some years ago, and is now one of the most impor- tant pillars of the firm doing business in the white marble building coruering on Wall and Broad streets. His special duties consist in working out all the de- tails of the consultations which Nor gan advises, and, without the help of just such a man he would have found it difficult to accomplish many Of the schemes which he has carried through to q successful conclusion.
 Those who know both Morgan and Coster say the latter has acquired the ability 10 take up Morgan's thought at exactly The point where he leaves off and carry il through to the desired con clusion. They say, also, that Coster has acquired the same peculiarities of personal bearing that have become so marked q feature in his chief and that though he cannot. of course. make himself half so truly terribleas Morgan he is still able to strike eonsterration into the beart of any ordinary mortal.

THE SUBURBAN STATE.

This Title Might He Claimed by New
 Jersey.
 New Jersey may be called suburban state, for it's population has been dis tributed largely under the influence of two great and crowded centers just be- yond it's limits of these New York is much the more important. Nearly half the population of New Jersey resides within IS miles of New York and a large proportion is directly suburban. One hundred thousand must live within 12 miles of Philadelphia. Six of the tep largest cities in the state-Newark, Jersey City, Hobeken, Elizabeth. Bay onne and Orange are largely tributary to Kew York, as Camden is to Philadel- phia. Of the other three, Paterson is on the finest water power in the state, Trenton is at the head of navigation on the Delaware, and has obtained some water power from the river, and New Brunswick is at the head of navigation on the Raritan, the largest river in the state.
 In it's regions of sparse settlement New Jersey resembles the southern states more than New York or New England While one town in the noun tains just above the Delaware Water Gap has only 14 persons to a square mile, the most thinly settled region is in "Tbe Pines" There 12 large towns adjoining one another have fewer than 15 persons 10 square mile, and one of them has but three This town, Wood land, includes large tracts of cedar swamp around the head waters of the Rancocas creek and the west branch of Wading Economic Studies.

 It was at first his intention topublish this book, of course with Jefferson's ap- proval, but at the last moment this was withdrawn. On carefully reading it all over, the inimitable impersonator of Rip Van Wrinkle concluded that he could hardly afford to speak as frankly and fully to the public as he had to Mir.

SURPRISED THE DEMOCRATS
Elected More Congressman in
New York Than Expected.
R00SEVELTS PLURALITY 10000
Democratic Candidate Carried Only Coun-
ties in Localities Swayed by the
Larger Cities.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-The latest fig
ures obtainable show that Roosevelt's
plurality in the state is not far from
10000. Only 10 counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities and they
were all localities swayed by cities, as
New York, Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roosevelt's plurality
as compared with Blacks in 1896 is due
to decrease in the Republican vote up
ihe state of 81, 900 and in Greater New
York of 900. Against this Van Wyck
gained 10000 above the Harlem and
3d. 900 below it as compared with Porter
two years ago. The result on congress
men in this state seems to have
Surprised Even Democrats Themselves.
Nineteen of their candidates were elect
ed, the Republicans getting but Is. In
the present house the New York dele
cation stands % Republicans to Dem
ocrats. In Greater New York all the
Democratic candidates were elected.
After the gubernatorial contest as
much interest was taken in the state
legislature as in anything else. The
state senate was Republican by 4 and
the assembly by Is. Political interest
from will center about the senatorship.
Already discussion as to the possible
aspirants has begun. So far there is no
announced candidate.

American Butter Abroad.

American butter now commands
the highest price in England and
France and is being iutl Oduced 10
Germany and Russia by the Agricul-
tural Department.. American cheese
will SOON follow American butter in
to the favor of our foreign cousins,
says Washington, y. c., Times Of Aug.
25.
'tAs soon as they get a chance to
eat our butter they like it better
than their own" said Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson this morning.
''As soon as we get butter on it's
feet. we will take up the fight for
cheese. We are doing all in our power
to educate the foreign taste for our
products. and are having gratifying
success. 1t is just as important, how
ever, to make our own producers
understand their chance across the
water. Strange to say, it is more di'-
fcult to get them to ship goods across
the sea in good times than in hard.
During prosperous years all our dairy
products are consumed at home, for
everyone lives we'll. In hard times we
eat just as little as we can and sell
the rest. IN. Y. Produce Review.

Have Gained Several Seats as the Result of
Tuesdays Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The election
returns establish with certainty that the
United States senate will have Repub-
ican majority after March next. The
present party division of the senate is:
Republicans AZ, Democrats "a, Populists
6, Silver Republicans 6. This was
changed prior to Tuesdays vote by
Republican gain of 2, viz: McComas
of Maryland, who will succeed German,
and Simon of Oregon, who is elected to
fill vacancy. Of the present Repubi-
can total of 40 the terms of senators
expire March next, leaving 38 hold
over Republicans. To this number the
elections of Tuesday add 10 surely
elected and three probably elected,
making total of 48 or 2 more than a
majority over Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans. There are 81 Dem
ocratic holdover senators, and to this
number Tuesdays elections add with
certainty and probable, giving total
of % votes. The Populist and Silver
Republican holdovers number ana this
was increased Tuesday by 1, practically
sure. Five state legislatures appear to
be much in doubt, VIZ: Nebraska,
West Virginia, Montana, Indiana and
Washington, and are not included in
figuring totals.
