protected. II spectators are allowed to
have their own sweet will in the jungles,
however the same thing will happen which
has happened in some Of the richest timber
districts of this country-the land will be
reduced TO an arid and cherries desert,
for there is nothing more dismal than a
tract of land which has been denuded of
trees by the greed of men who care only
for immediate returns.
The British Government established in
India a forest department, whose officers
are scattered all over the country Their
duty is TO see that the young trees are
not destroyed by predatory animals. to
prevent and extinguish fires in the dry
season, to study the district to which
they may be assigned and set out new
trees which may suit the climate and
conditions. and generally to look after the
section Of jungle under their charge as
an old farm-wife looks after her broods
of chickens. Something like this may be
necessary in the Philippines. to say moth
ing of there being some need for it in
certain parts of the United States. The
recklessness with which Americans have
| destroyed their own wealth is equaled
only by the speed with which they replace
it. We cut down our forests and ruin
our climate and then invent systems of
irrigation to do what nature did without
our help. We destroy all the shade trees
within miles of new town, and then con-
triye unnumbered devices to keep the
houses cool by artificial means. We kill
off whole herds of huffalo for snort and
make bonfires of the carcasses. and then
establish cattle ranches to raise cattle
and replace the buffalo herds. We ruin
our health by an unnatural and feverish
way of living. and then pay immense sums
to marvelously skillful physicians who
have made a study of nervous diseases.
When We learn to preserve our inherited
wealth as well as to acquire new riches.

The Preservation of Forests

One OF the products of the Philippines
is the rubber tree, and it is said that a
man who wishes TO enter upon business
venture in these islands or the West In
dies could not do better than to cultivate
this useful and not very common tree. OF
course the market value OF rubber has
greatly increased in recent years, owing
to the pneumatic tire. and as time goes on
the demand will become greater. There
has also been certain increase in the
demand for rubber 10 be used for water
proof articles of clothing, and in multitu-
dinous other ways. The man who has a
plantation of rubber trees will have fair
chance of making money, though it will
take some time for the trees TO reach the
age of usefulness.
In connection with the rubber tree there
is something 10 be said about the impor-
tance OF guarding against reckless specu-
lation. in the Philippines. In many cases
where this tree used to flourish 1t has been
almost entirely destroyed by greedy specu
lators. who have used 1t roughly and
wasted the valuable sap, sometimes even
chopping the tree down TO obtain imme-
diate returns. The same thing happens
occasionally. though not often. in the ma
pie orchards of this country. The careful
and thrifty farmer Of our sugar districts
is not likely TO waste any of his posses
sions. and therefore when nc-taps his tree
makes as small a hole as possible and in
eerts wooden tube. thus saving every
drop of the precious fluid. and also pre-
serving the tree for many future years
In the pioneer times some careless people
followed the Indian fashion Of chopping a
cash in the tree and catching whatever
sap they could. This not only wasted
most Of the sugar. but in a few years it
ruined the tree. Something like this, it
is said. has happened to the rubber tree
on many plantations formerly valuable
This is not the only tree which is likely

There are many rare woods in the Philip
pines. which may be made source of

A WATER TRUST.
Efforts Under Way to Combine Sara
toga Mineral Spring Properties.

New York, April 25.-The latest in the
way of trusts is the Spring Water Trust.
A syndicate has been formed fer the pur-
pose of acquiring all the principal mineral
spring properties in Saratoga and running
them under one company to be known as
the Consolidated Mineral Springs Com
pany of Saratoga Springs. The banking
firm of Thomas & Post. II Broadway,
undertook to underwrite the bonds of the
company. The scheme is not fully ma
tured for the reason that two of the
principal spring companies, the Vichy and
the Paterson. have thus far refused to give
options on their properties to the proposed
new company. The syndicate has, how
ever. secured options on the properties of
the Geyser. Hawthorn. Congress. Empire.
Kissingen, Lincoln. Victoria, Champion,
Carlsbad, Excelsior. Red. High Ro,k
Magnetic. Royal, Imperial. Pavilion, Uni
ted States, Hamilton, Columbian. Wash
ington, and several other Saratoga Spring
companies. These options continue until
May II. until which time the prices on the
properties. fixed by the present owners,
may be accepted. or the syndicate may
make other offers to the owners. Ii was
said today that the greatest difficulty in
carrying through the deal is occasioned by
the abnormally high valuations which the
spring owners put upon their property.
The spring owners insist that if the Sara
toga Springs are consolidated in one COM
pany the value of each property to the new
company will be fifty per cent. above its
separate value. instead of ten per cent.
To this proposition the syndicate says TO
the spring owners: Come in on reason
able terms or fight the trust"
II the scheme goes through the new COM
pany will be incorporated Immediately
with the idea of making Saratoga the
American Carlsbad. The erection of a big
santarium is contemplated where the wa
ters must be taken according to the pre-
scription of attending physicians or not
taken at all. 1t is also contemplated to
turn the valley in which the principal
springs are into a great park, of which
the present Congress Spring Park shall be
a part. If this plan is carried out park
about seven miles long and about a mile
wide, in some parts, viii extend from the
Geyser Spring on the south to the Excel
sior Spring on the north. passing right
through the centre of the village.
The sale of the water in bottles and in
barrels will be pushed. and besides a COM
paratively new industry will be developed.
This new industry is the collecting in cyl
inders under pressure OF the natural car
bonic acid gas from the springs for COM
mercial use. This is now done at Saratoga
to limited extent. Carbonic acid is
cheaply made. but it has been found nat
ural product OF the Saratoga Springs can
be sold cheaper than the manufactured ar
tcle. Those who are behind the syndicate
have employed experts to look into the
possibilities of this industry at Saratoga
and the experts have expressed the opinion
that practically all the carbonic acid gas
used in this country can be obtained from
the waste of the Saratoga Springs.

1LL-TREATED BY OFFICIALS.
Dir. NicoIni Presses His Grievances
Upon the Commissioners.

Lawrence s. Nicolai recently complained
to the District Commissioners Of the dis
courteous treatment he claims to have re-
ceived at the hands OF Walter C.. Allen.
District Electrical Engineer. and Thomas
j. Fisher, District Superintendent of
Lamps in reference to some business con-
nected with the naphtha lighting contract
Nicolai asserted in his complaint that he
was a party to the contract, signed almost
five years ago. whereby the Pennsylvania
Globe Gaslight Company furnishes the D.s-
trict with naphtha lighting He says that
he was reaping one-fourth of the revenue
obtained from the contract during the past
four years of his association with the
Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight Company.
Nicolai claimed that Allen and Fisher
were uncivil TO him and suspicious OF him.
and particularly so about anything which
might concern the interest of the parties
associated since July 2, 1894 under five
year contract" that they had told him
and his brother that they could get along
without either of them Nicolai complains
particularly OF what he eharaeteriZes as the
Outrageous and disgraceful conduct OF
Thomas J. Fisher, District Superintendent
Of Lamps. in company with A. E. Shaw. OF
the Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight Company.
Nicolai states that he had discovered by
accident that Shaw was in the city one
udN ALt part Vi anu
"suspecting something out of the regular
order of business" he concluded to watch
Shaw's actions. The result. he says. was
meeting between Fisher and Shaw at the
corner of Seventh and F Streets north
west.
Nicolai thinks this meeting. il held for
business purposes, should have been at
the District Building Owing to his pres
ence Nieolai says the meeting was inter-
rupted and Fisher and Shaw then went 10
the offices of the Washington Gaslignt
Company and back to the District Build
ing. Nicolai explains how ne followed
them and found that they were trying to
avoid him.
He wrote to the Commissioners a second
time several days ago making charges
against Fisher. stating that the superin-
tendent called him IA - nuisance on an
occasion when he visited his Office some
time ago. The Commissioners have taken
no action in the matter, as they do not
believe their subordinates failed to act
courteously. A request has been made for
hearing before the Board of Commits

cellence. The Methodist Church, of which
Mr.. Mckinley is a righteous and prayer
full member, may object to his glorifying
the person responsible for Town Topics, -

WILKES HARVEST COMPLETE.
He Has Rounded Up All of the Coun-
tcrseiters.

Philadelphia. April 25.-Chief Wilkie. OF
the United States Secret Service, announced
positively today that all the warrants had
been .erved in the famous counterfeiting
case and that the arrest OF Deputy In
ternal Revenue Collector Samuel Downey,
of Lancaster, was the last that would be
made in the case.
"Downey" said the chief will plead
guilty We found enough documentary evil
dence against him in Jacobs desk TO
prove beyond a doubt that he had received
money from Jacobs in return for informa-
tion about the doings of the Secret Service
men On the 10th of last October Downey
went.to Jacobs and told him that he was
in financial distress. Will $500 do you any
good? asked Jacobs, and Downey saying
il would he was offered and accepted the
money Downey then told Jacobs that he
had done more for him than his own
| brother would have done, and informed
him that the Secret Service men were after
him. Jacob did not believe it at first. but
was finally convinced by what he was told.
Jacobs thought. through Downey, to get to
Burns, but failed In all Downey got about
81. 500 from Jacobs. The specific charge
in the affidavit against him Is that he re-
ceived 800 on April II. Downey kept go
ing to Jacobs from that time and draw
ing money and in that way received the
whole sum. We have got them all now
and there is nothing for me TO do but wait
for the hearing of Messrs. Ingham and
hewitt.
The arrest of Ingham develops the fact
that there are two charges against hewitt.
one attempting to bribe McManus and the
other conspiracy with Ingham to bribe a
Government official. II was said today
that the operations of the counterfeiters Of
| the stamps had been started while Ingham
and hewitt were in the Government ser
vice and that they had become connected
with the scheme, and further that they
had been counting on the retention OF the
office and control of its machinery to balk
, prosecution, or at least keep themselves
advised of the movements Of the Govern
| ment to protect themselves By flight.
1t is thought that little more than
enough evidence to enable the United
States Commissioner TO hold the men will
be adduced at the hearing. Mr. Beck said
today that If he went into the evidence in
detail it would take at least half day. 1t
was said today that the paper upon which
| the bogus revenue stamps were printed
was made by q paper manufacturer who
has place near Chambersburg. Pa. The
contract was made with him five years ago
and he was told that the reason the letters
u S. |. r. were wanted in the paper
was that il was to be used as an advertise
ment for a patent medicine known as
Uncle Sans Indian Remedy The paper
was made and shipped to Europe and was
then reshipped to the various places
where it was used. The paper maker
has been fully exonorated, having
proved to the satisfaction of the officials
that he knew nothing of the purpose to
which it was to be put. District Attorney
Beck says that he was fully justified in ar
resting hewitt and Ingham and that he
will prove it to the satisfaction of all at
the hearing

The Funeral Ship Crook Returning

The funeral ship Crook. with it's second

in New York tomorrow or Friday. 1t
conveys the remains of $50 soldiers and
marines. who gave up their lives for their
countrys cause in Cuba and Porto Rico,
and which are being brought TO the United
States for interment. The Crook while
known as the Roumania, brought nearly a
thousand bodies from Cuba. the greater
number of which were buried at Airing
ton. and beside these fallen heroes the
coming bodies will he placed. In accord
with the plan OF the War Department
the remains of the soldiers may be claimed
and buried by their relatives or friends.
upon the arrival of the vessel at New York
The department pays the expense of trans
porting the bodies TO any part of the
United States. a number of applications
are now on file in the Quartermaster's Of
flee and many of the soldiers who died
in Porto Rico will be buried in private
cemeteries.
After leaving Porto Rico the Crook put
in at Guantanamo and took on board the
marines who lost their lives in the early
fighting at Camp McCaila. She left that
port for New York April 81. Surgeon

ported through the United States on

The bodies are enclosed in metallic cask-

ably not reach Washington until Monday

led the ceremonies attending the burial of
their comrades a few weeks ago.
