A Short Line to Chicago.

A new route of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul main line that is to cut
off nearly sixty miles of the through
train running and another hour of time
for the fast mail service of the great
northwest. There has not been much
said about it. It's discussion has been
discouraged by the local and Chicago
officials of the road, but the little leaks
of big plans break forth in a day and
carefully guarded secrets become widely
scattered reports before an hour has
paced it's sixty steps
Down in the upper right hand corner
of Illinois lies the little city of Liberty
vile which the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul connected with it's west shore
line by spur from Rondout some years
ago Rival roads made little comment
upon the move then but they have been
sweating rails all summer long over the
slow creeping of heavy standard gauge
steel track out from this little city of
Libertyville toward the village of Della
van. Just across the Wisconsin line on
the Racine and Beloit division. Stead
lily the double ribbon of heavy steel-fit
for the heaviest of six driver engines
creeps onward and to the curious the
answer is that the rails are going down
for the operation of an electric line be-
tween Lbertyyille and Delavan, but the
powers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul road are behind the men who are
stringing that double ribbon of steel and
have pushed them onward until Delevan
is almost in sight from the camp of the
construction gang. And that gang, with
it's surveyors, it's road bed builders and
it's drivers of spikes is hurrying on to-
ward GAINESVILLE and Madison and the
northwest.
It will be double track system. 1t is
already completed as far as Fox Lake.
The impression has been given out that
this work was on an electric line, but it
has now leaked out that it is part of
the new route. 1t will be completed this
season as far as Delevan, and early next
season will be put through to Milton. At
the same time double track will be put
in from Madison to Milton Junction, and
north to Portage. Ninety pound rails
are being used, which of itself is evidence
enough that it is to be the main traffic
line. Madison is to have the railway
shops, and will be division headquarters.
A new passenger and freight depot,
which have been long talked of, will be
among the Improvements.

WHAT sugar mouths we Americans
have! Last year we were compelled to
pay 694, 1854, 120 for the sugar we bought
from foreign countries, making no ac-
count of the hundreds of millions of
pounds made at home. What is more,
we are each of us consuming more and
more every year. Today sugar goes into
nearly all the foods that come upon the
taUle. It's cheapne@s has resulted in a
vastly increased and ever growing con
sumption. We pay more for our sugar
than for any other article we have to buy
from other countries. With the increase
of beet sugar factories in many states,
and the liberal encouragement which
the sugar industry is receiving in many
localities, there is cause for believing we
have about reached high-water mark in
our sugar importations and hereafter will
be less dependent upon other countries
to supply our wants.

PERU has adopted the gold standard
and her fiat silver is accepted only at its
bullion value which is about fifty cents
on the dallar The coinage of silver has
been stopped and gold only is being
coined and it is in demand. 1t IS fast
coming into circulation and the people
are willing to pay small premium to
get it on account of it's great convenience
over silver. Paper money is rapidly dis
appearing and there is general satisfac
ton over the change from cheap fiat
money to the solid basis of gold. Thus
one by one the nations of the earth are
discarding deprecated money for a
changeless standard, and in every case
prosperity follows the change. No
wonder the Is to democrats are afraid
of their little hobby horse.

BRYAN's share of the Mckinley pros
perity is a fortune of 100000, all made
unless he saved something from his
salary as colonel of volunteers from
lecture fees and admission fees to various
entertainments where he has been the
star attraction. But for the favoring
financial conditions brought about by
republican ascendancy, the committees
could not have raised the money de-
manded by Bryan as the price of his
lectures or of his attendance on sundry
local silverite functions. He has already
received as much for three years of po-
litical speech-making as Mckinley re
ceives for four years service as president

THE state board of control has refused
to renew the contract for the prison
labor at the penitentiary with the Para
mount Knitting Company of Chicago,
which has used the prison labor since
1894. The contract was found unprofit-
able for the state chiefly because the
states share of the proceeds of the pro-
duct was not paid until the goods had
been sold. This made a delay of months
often. The knitting machinery used is
the property of the state, and will proba-
bly, be moved to some of the other
state institutions.

THE Modern Woodmen of America is
still experiencing the most marvellous
growth in the history of any society.
During the year 1898 the net increase
was 66,9O4. This was supposed to be a
record that could not be excelled, but
the year 1899 will discount this growth;
in fact the first seven months of the
year closes with record of 5000 GER
tifcates written; an average of over r.
900 a month. Other good societies look
at their record, then at the Modern
Woodmen, and are astOnished.

The highest price ever paid for real
estate in the United States was paid two
years ago, when TIT square feet on the
corner of Broadway and Wallstreet, New
York, sold for S34867 per square foot.
But recently the owner of the corner re-
fused 6400 square foot for his holding.
The price offered was equivalent to $50,
900 a front foot, or 81 100000 for an ordi-
nary city business lot 24x1OO feet.

CAUGHT RED-HhNDED.
Bert Edwards Is in Jail on the Charge of
Burglary.

Bert Edwards Is in Jail on the Charge of
Burglary.
Bert Edwards, alias Cameron, very
young man, was arrested last evening
and lodged at the city Jail on a charge
of burglary. He was caught red-hand
ed with stolen property in his posses
sion by Detective Murphy and Chief
Dawson.
Last evening about half-past o'clock
Detective Murphy and Captain Dawson
were walking along West Granite street
when Detective Murphy observed a
young man whose actions suggested
that he was looking to see if an officer
was in sight. He called Captain DaW-
sons attention to the fact and they de-
cided to lay for the fellow and see what
he was up to.
Accordingly, the officers established
themselves in a convenient location and
watched. Presently they saw their man
turn and enter the Albemarle lodging
house, at A West Granite. The officers
waited for him to come out, which he
did in about 10 minutes, carrying a
bundle. They at once approached him
and commenced questioning him. He
became confused and by his manner
satisfied the officers he had been up to
some wrongdoing. They therefore de-
cided to make a sure case if he had
been ana TOOK the captive TO the room
of S. P. Gufmont, in whose presence
they searched him. In the bundle they
found black coat and vest and in
his pockets pair of gold cuff buttons
and gold heart with pendant. The
coat and vest and cuff buttons We're
identified as belonging to T. E. Old
father, who occupied room SO at the
Albemarle. In the pockets of the young
man We're also found four skeleton keys,
which explained how he was able to
enter the room with SO much facility.
The heart was identified as the prop
erty of another ledger whose room had
been entered a day or SO previous. The
burglar was taken to the city jail and
locked up. He comes Of a good family
of this city, but for some time has been
rapidly going to the bad

A GORDON AROUND CHINA
Our Commercial Relations With

Worthington G. Ford Shows How the
United States Is Being Shut Out
of the Orient - Our Tariff
Drives Trade Away.

Philadelphia, April S.-The third ses-
sion of the Academy of Political and
Social Science was held this afternoon
with Prof. Roland P. Faulkner of the
University of Pennsylvania in the
chair. The subject discussed was "Our
Commercial Relations with the Far
East .
Addresses were made by Worthington
C. Ford, former chief of the bureau of
statistics of the United States treasury
department, and Robert T. Hill of the
United States geological survey. Mr..
Ford said in part:
There is Gordon drawn around
China, more obstructive than any Chi
nese wall and liable on many accounts
to be made effective as complete pro-
hbition of commerce. 1t might be as
su1ned that the privilege of trade could
be assured by a treaty, for shorter or
longer period. Where has a treaty
been able to stand in the way of in
terested attack? The control of Samoa
does not offer as many occasions for
differences as would the holding of the
Chinese coast for comm "rc'"' -
by six great powers and among the six
the United States will not figure. The
dual management of Egypt was chlIu 5
play compared to the problem of Chi
nese management. What has occurred
In Africa, where the native counts for
nothing, is only pale forecast of what
may happen in China with six nations
contending for commercial advantage
with people numbering 300,000,000
souls.
Bearing in mind that the natural re
sources of the East are to be exploited
with all the perfection of modern appli-
ances and cheaper labor than has ever
been offered, the following questions
suggest themselves: How can cotton
goods of the United States make other
than a limited market in Asia against
the cattons of India, Japan and China?
How can American petroleum, better
article as it is, hold more than it's own
against the Russian oil supported as 1t
may be by bounty for political effect?
Then there are the oil fields of Lankat
to be counted in as competitors. How
can American iron and steel markets,
held to be closed by European coun-
tries each one Of which wishes to keep
for it's own people the construction of
the railroad, the building and running
of steam vessels and the profits of the
custom house? What better chance
will there be for American machinery,
the rolling stock of a railroad, the min
ing machinery and certain textile ma
chimes, than now presents itself?
Finally, are We looking forward to
e meeting. Asiatic competition with an
even higher tariff than is now endured
a tariff bristling with duties like those
on silks, in the present law, specially
leveled against the imports of SILK
goods from JAPAN?

COAL WORTH MORE THAN GOLD.
Output of the Former Thrice as Valuable
as That of the Latter.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Not many people are probably aware
that the coal mined in the United States
annually is worth more than three
times as much as the gold mined here"
said a Pennsylvania coal miner ito a
Star reporter recently. THE product
of the anthracite fields alone exceeds in
value the output of the gold mines Of
this country Canada and Alaska, which
last year amounted to over $50,000,0o0.
East of the Rocky mountains there
are $4,000 square miles of coal lands,
and the yearly output is nearly 200 oo.-
900 tons. Biologists estimate the great
coal fields of the world as follows:
China, 100000: United States, east Of
the Rockies, 10000: Canada, $1,000: In
dia, $500; New South Wales. $4,000;
Russia, 10000; and the united kingdom.
II 800 square miles. There are many
deposits in other countries, but their
extent is incOnsiderable. England's coal
area is small; still she for years pro-
duced more than any other country.
Now the United States are ahead.
English coal veins are thin one, only
II inches wide, has been worked 1900
feet down On the other hand there are
veins in the Pennsylvania anthracite
regions so feet thick and, in the bitum-
nous regions. IS feet thick. Our APP
palachian coal fields are the largest
known and alone could supply the
whole world for centuries to come. At
the present rate of production it is es-
timated that our coal fields will be ex-
hausted in els years, while those of
England will last but PIP years. The
first coal found in America was near
Ottawa, ILL.,, by Father Hennepin, a
French explorer, in 1879. 1t was first
mined on the Schuylkill during Wash

id Porto Ricans. l can't get ahead
of one of them.
There is some restlessness felt over
the failure of congress to take action
relating to the adjustment of the inter-
nal affairs of the island. 1t is argued
that the conditions are different here
from those existing in Cuba and the
Philippines and the delay in establishing
a stable system of operations. together
with the high custom duties maintain
ed, only serve to retard and endanger
the tranquil and easy transition to the
requisite conditions for future policy.

Geyser That Keeps Exact Time.

One of the most curious clocks in the
word is that which Amos Lane of Ami
dee, New, constructed some time ago.
The machinery, which is nothing but
face, hands and lever, is connected with
a geyser, which shoots out an immense
column of hot water every 50 seconds
This squirting never varies to the tenth of
second and therefore clock properly
attached to it cannot fail to keep correct
time. Every time the water spurts up it
strikes the lever and moves the hands
forward IS seconds.
