NEW TRUSTS AND THE RANKS.

Ex-Gov. Flower of New York. banker
and expert trust maker the other dav
talked interestingly to a newspaper re-
porter respecting the new combinations
OF capital in commercial and manufactur-
ing Observation-Disclosures trusts-and the
effect upon the banks He showed that
since the beginning of the present year
combinations capitalized at more than
S5OOOOOOOO had been organized. Ii seems.
indeed, that there has arisen a craze for
combinations. Mr.. Flower, however
thinks that the movement is natural
evolution, and that combinations NAV be
a good thing, since they may reduce
prices 10 the consumer and increase nav
to the employees. But Mr.. Flower has been
somewhat surprised at some of the results
OF the recent and current trust making
as seen in the money market and at the
banks
In so far as the money market Is con-
eerned, as matter of fact, the effect has
been practically nothing, notwithstanding
some marked developments were looked
for; while in the matter of the banks
an effect opposite to that which was an
ticipated has been realized. 1t was pre-
sumed that the organization of trusts
would involve a large amount of borrow
ing of money and that the smaller as well
as the larger banks would share in the
profit this demand for money made posi-
BILE. But 1t has been discovered that in
stead of large borrowing demand hav-
ing been created, most of the trust maxi
ing transactions have been accomplish
ed without borrowing. On the other hand.
the financing of these transactions has led
to large deposits, especially in the small
er banks, the managers of which have ex-
perienced some difficulty in finding prof
liable employment for the cash left in
their vaults. Mr.. Flower explains this
unexpected condition by saying that very
much of the increased capital of the coun-
| try is being utilized in the creation of the
trusts, and that instead of borrowing
the capitalists are using their own money

terror of the state, says the Baltimore
American. The man who owns the coat
with the pocket in which was the card
wherein was printed the Unique hotel

particular. The rules are as follows:
Q-The motto of this hotel is: Eat,
drink and be merry when your bill is pre-
sented, but don't get gay"
C)-Travelers without trunks will be
fastened to the bedpost with chain, and
the chain will be locked. The key will
be placed in the safe over night. Any one
caught filing the chain will be charged 81
extra.
Owe hereby give warning that letters
written on the stationary washtub will
not go.
(D-The elevator in this hotel has been
running for three years, and must now
be about II ,9S7 miles away. Those who
fall downstairs, when they don't feel like
it, do so at their own risk.

O-The proprietor absolutely refuses to
furnish alarm clocks. They might go off
without settling up. Before retiring wind
up your bed and hear the ticks.

NEW sTEEL-HARDENING PROCESS


A "son of his father" who gives prom
Use of rivaling his sire in achievements is
Thomas A. Edison, Jr lie has already
made some reputation as an inventor,
with the result that capitalists are in
clined TO place faith in his announcements
and exploit his inventions. Should the
latest reported invention of the young
man prove a success. however, he would
hardly need the aid of capitalists in future;
he would himself become a capitalist, as
well as a scientist.
1t is said that young Mr. Edison has
perfected a new process for hardening
STEEL. which, while it costs less than half
as much as either the Harvey or the
Krupp process, is decided advance over
both. Tests have already been made with
'Edisonized" steel, with results which
have highly pleased the inventor and his
friends. A six-inch armor plate, treated
by his process, Mr.. Edison says, is super
Tor in power of resistance to a 15-incb
Harveyized plate. BY the Harvey process
a she'll of about an inch in thickness is
hardened on each side of The plate, while
by the Edison process the plate is harden
ed uniformly all the way through. This
increases its elasticity as we'll as its pow
er of resistance TESTS made by the
Bessemer Company last June of steel
treated by his process" says a technical
journal in an article on Edison's process
showed tensile strength had been in
creased from $1,000 pounds per square inch
10 II 600 pounds, and the elastic limit from
$1,000 pounds to $1,000 pounds, while the
contraction and expansion had been de-
creased from 2s,Ss per cent 10 A66, and
from 6365 per cent. 10 GAIA
The company making the tests con-
structed a number of simple tools from
steel and then "Edsonized" them. A razor
which was so treated was made so hard
that it retained its edge. under frequent
use, for six months without stropping, and
then even a grindstone was unable 10 pro
duce a new edge until the blade had been
annealed The process was also applied
to copper and glass. Fine edge tools of
great hardness and durability were made
from copper. and the glass was rendered
so hard that diamond would not scratch
It. 1t is claimed that the new process
may be applied with great advantage not
only to armor plate making, but to
structural steel, to steel rails and to tools
of all sorts
Profiting by the experiences of his faith
er, young Mr. Edison is not going to let
the invention get out of his hands. He
has formed a company and will retain
control of the process. The company will
not itself manufacture or treat steel, but
will sell the right to use the process 10
other companies.
Naval constructors will probably watch
the development of the process with great
est interest If it is possible to secure. by
a new and cheapened process, a six-inch
armor plate that is as effective as thu
present l5-inch plate, almost reyolu-
ton in naval architecture may result. AT
present coal capacity and speed must be
sacrificed to weight of armor.

DEATH OF PATRIcK WALSH.

The death Of Patrick Walsh will be sin
cerely incurred throughout the state. He
was close to the hearts Of the peop.e. Ills
virtues were many. The nobility of mis-
character was recognized by all who knew
him. Courteous, sincere, generous and
charitable, he made friends Of all with
whom he came in contact. Nothing gave
him so much pleasure as to do an act of
kindness. and many there are, unknown
90 the world who. because Of his helpful
hand or his encouraging words, will drop
a silent tear to his memory.
He filled a large place in the affections
Of the people he loved so well, and among
whom he lived so long and toiled so faith
fully. His name was known in every
household in the state and far beyond, and
everywhere il was mentioned with kind
ness and respect. His warm-heartedness
was felt in his business, as wen as in
his social life.
His success was due entirely to his own
efforts. He had no influential relatives to
assist him, no fortune with which to pre-
pare himself for. or with which to fight,
the battle of life. Cheerful and courage
Gus he advanced from one position TO an
other, making friends as he went and
building up well deserved reputation for
ability and integrity. And the people con-
ferred one honor after another on him.
Whether as a delegate to political con-
ventions, presidential elector. member of
the legislature, member of Council or
Mayor Of his city or United States sena-
tor, he was always true to his principles
and faithful to the people who trusted
him
Although not a native he was genuine
American. He was proud of his adopted
country and he was second to no one in
his willingness to make sacrifices for it.
And Georgia never had d son who was
prouder of her than he was With pen
and speech he made known her resources
and her greatness. Few have done more
to make her rich and prosperous. For
what be did loving people will hold mis-
memory in grateful remembrance.
We believe he would be sim among us
if he had not yielded TO the opportunities
of his fellow townsmen and taken lead
ing part in local politics. The faction
fights of his city worried him until he
became i'll, they were so bitter and the
source of so much injustice
His city-Augusta-will miss him and
mourn him. The whole state will miss and
mourn him, for he was good man. a
good citizen and served the people well
and faithfully.

Admiral Philip, formerly Capt. jack
Philip of the Texas, knows all about nav
igation, and big guns, and rapid-fire arms;
but when it comes TO horses, he is, me-
taphorically, at sea. The other day, being
now on shore duty. he took a notion to
indulge himself in pair of high-steppers.
A New York dealer showed him a pair
which seemed to possess all of the ginger
and speed necessary TO please the most
eXacting sea dog; and the admiral bought
them. Later he asked a landsman friend
to give his opinion of the purchase. The
dealer had represented the horses to be
and years old. The landsman. who
is an expert in the horse line, discovered
that the combined ages of the pair was
not less than forty years, and judged that
the dealer had swindled the sailor out of
about 20 per cent. of the price paid. The
matter was finally got into a BROOKLYN
police court, but there was no evidence
upon which the justice could hold the
dealer.

THE NEW SHIPPING LAW.

Those who 90 down to the sea in ships,
masters and men-not to mention owners
ARE interested In the operations of the
new seaman's shipping law. which was
passed for the purpose Of protecting
Jack" from the rapacity Of "crimps,"
runners" boarding house keepers and
shipping masters. Stories of how unscru-
pulous persons of these classes by shrewd
tricks, have managed TO hold or to ship
Jack at their pleasure, and to get hold
of a considerable part of his wages for
board and clothes while ashore, have been
told so often that every seaport is IA
miliar with them. Under the terms of
the new law, the boarding house keeper
cannot get more than one months of
Jacks wages. Jack is not permitted 20
mortgage more than months
wages, and the skipper who ships
him is forbidden to pay more than that
amount in advance to the shipping master
who furnishes Jack TO the vessel. The
government treats Jack the Sailor with
pointed paternalism. He Is not capable of
looking out for himself, according to the
government NtTWg ucilIH IL AluSN Acth out
for him.
The shipping masters at the various
leading ports seem TO have a pretty close
corner upon the available sailors, since
the government came into the sailor labor
market with its transports, and ran the
wages up from S1S to S25 a month. Espe-
cially is this the case in New York, where
n te,. 20
eign ports, have had some difficulty in
securing crews. The shipping masters
''crimps," they are called i'm the vernacu-
lar of the 'caste-having the supply
pretty well in hand have apparently de-
termined to force the demand to pay
largely increased rate of wages; not that
the "crimps" care so much about Jack,
although Jack has no objection to get
ting advanced wages. but because the
'crimps" hope thereby to recoup them
selves as nearly as they can for the loss
of "rake-off" which they have heretofore
enjoyed under the old shipping laws To
illustrate heretofore they have been able
to count upon getting about two months
of Jacks pay. advanced by the skipper;
now they can get but one months pay;
if they can force the shippers to increase
Jacks wages from SIS to $50 per month.
they will be just that much better off.
For the time being the shipping masters
seem to have the upper hand in New, York
in the fight which they are making with
the shippers and owners of vessels The
other day the ship John R. Kelley was
forced to take a crew al $50 per month
the high-water mark in seamen's wages
or remain tied up at her dock indefinitely.
There are in the same port a number of
other deep-sea sailers, taking in oil or
grain for Europe which will shortly need
crews. Whether they will be forced to
pay the increase demanded by the shipping
masters, or whether they will be able to
get crews independent of them, remains
to be seen. There has, indeed, been some
talk along South street, New York, about
having some of the shipping masters ar
rested. on the ground that they are con
spring in restraint of trade and com
merce;' otherwise, that they have form
ed sort of sailor labor trust.
