A GOOD SHOWING.
Schedule Filed BY the American Steel
& Wire Company.


The schedule filed by the American Steel
and Wire Company in its application to
list its securities on the New York Stock
Exchange shows that the company has
over 40 plants in its ownershipand control.
and gives in detail descriptions Of these
plants. 1t is set forth that the company
owns stock and mortgage investments ag-
gregating $5,S4s,242, and 1t is explained
that such investments represent only their
cost on the books of the company. Barring
about 100000 of real estate mortgage,
whose holders refuse to accept payment,
the company's properties are without en-
cumbrances. As is shown in the balance
sheet, the company earned from Jan /,
1899, to June 80. 1899, 1882, 44S net profit,
although during a considerable portion of
disadvantages by reason of delay occa-
stoned In introducing economics which are
now in operation and in filing contracts
made at prices below the present market.
1t is also set forth that the inventory as
shown on the balance sheet is taken at
actual cost for all raw material with 81
per ton added for finished product. In
taking into consideration the great en-
hancement in the value Of raw material.
since the taking of this inventory the
vast increase of such assets in value Is,
the report says, readily apparent.

JUDGE W. C. LORING.
His Elevation to the
Supreme Bench,Is
Pleasing.
MERRILL FOR SUPERIOR BENCH.
His Friends Believe His
Chances for Nomina-
ton Are Good,
MERRILL FOR SUPERIOR BENCH.

William c. Loring of Boston for the
vacancy on the Supreme court bench
was the chief topic of conversation
among the lawyers last night The Sc
lection made by the chief executive
meets general approval, in spite of the
fact that the hope of the Worcester
county bar was not long ago high that
the honor would come to this city.
Col Hopkins letter announcing that
he would not accept the nomination if
it We're rendered him, put an end to all
belief that the honor would be bestowed
on member of the local bar, and as
The Spy announced, the belief was gen
eral that William C. Loring would be
the governors selection.
Friends of the candidacy OF Charles
A. Merrill for the Superior court va
cancy believe that the selection of a
Suffolk county man for the Supreme
court bench practically assures the
nomination of a Worcester man for the
lower court. Mr.. Merrill is practically
the unanimous choice of Worcester law
yers, and he appears to have a clear
field for the nomination.

As soul is merged In worship high,
And its tiny heart is thesun's own gold
Hear i breathe its plea to the tempest
And the shrieking eagles that DER ii fly
The sweet forget-me-not.
A beating heart DER the flower goes,
And lol the life blood more quickly flows.
A sudden yearning fills Il with pain.
