AMERICAS PLACE IN THE IRON
TRADE.

1t is generally believed that export
trade is the all-important factor in sls-
tanning american iron-markets. TAX
ing the iron and steel manufacture as a
whole, | believe this to be true. But so
far as ores, pig iron, and even steel bill
lets are concerned, the movement has
never reached 5 per cent. Of the product
cf the United States, and probably will
not for years to come. Radical changes
in the freight and labor situations must
occur before America can capture En-
glish and European markets with crude
iron She is shipping literally, it is
true, and will continue to ship, fer
prices on the other side will always be
regulated pretty closely by those in the
United States. But it is in the finished
forms where American victories will be
won, as they are now being won. In To-
comotives, wood and iron-working ma
chinery, agricultural machinery, nails,
wire, bicycles and a hundred other
lines, American inventive genius, great
productive capacity, modernized plants,
superior business organizations, ETC.,
viii maintain and doubtless increase
the great total of $4,000, 10000 reached
last year in her iron and steel exports.

debtor defaulted McGarry aad no ues
for him afterwards.
One night remember reporter
dashed into the saloon, and, calling Nc
Garry to one side, said.
Jim owe you SIS and promised to
pay you to-day
You did," said McGarry 1--WE been
waitin' the day for yez to come in.
Where's the money!"
Il haven't got it, Jim. I'm sorry,
but | can't give it to you till morning,
and I've come to ask you to let ne
have another SIS until then"
mot another cent" said McGarry.
"Yees pay me the ould debt first.
The reporter went out on the street.
1t was the old days when Chicago went
wide open and pushing Monte Carlo
for the name of gamblers paradise.
On the corner the reporter met a
well known professional card-player,
from whom he borrowed So. Then he
went back to McGarry's and placed
the bill on the bar without a word.
McGarry folded it UP and put it In
his pocket.
Il knowed yez was straight, GaWge,
said Jim, sternly. Il knowed yez
would pay me on the day yez said yez
would. Here's tin dollars insthid OF
the five yez axed me for. But, moind
yez, yez said I'd be paid tomorrow"
Such things as that amused Pete
Dunno, and he started in to write
stories about McGarry. Jim didn't see
them till a dozen or so character
sketches had appeared in the Herald
When a friend pointed it out to him,
and when jim saw his name and some
of his sayings in print, he was wild.
He sent word to Pete that he would
kill him, and threatened to lop off
Pete's privilege of credit. The ORD
fellow carried on at such a rate that
Pete promised to quit, and the riot
quelled.
When Pete ceased contributing his
Irish stories the editor demanded to
know why it was thus. Pete explained
but the editor, who knew good stun
when he saw it, refused to let Pete
discontinue them.
Pete was in a fix. He had promised
McGarry to stop, but his boss said no.
Then he hit on the compromise when
has made him famous on two CONT
nents and fortune besides. Dooley!
He dropped old jim Garry and began
to write about Mr.. Dooley. For some
time Mr.. Dooley was only McGarry.
Old Jim spotted the subterfuge one
day when he read his own words as
those of Mr.. Dooley: 81 don't trust no
man who makes no noise with his heels
whin he walks Then there was
- alf11O
cried that Pete should have deceived
him, though ever so little.
The two friends patched UP another
true and Pete never wrote another
McGarry story. But he continued on
Mr.. Dooley and made Mr. Dooley say
what Pete thought old Jim McGarry
ought to say, and there you have the
story of the clever little sketches
which have made thousands of people
laugh.-St. Louis Republic.

DAHLGREN, 81 KNOTS.
Bath Iron Works Torpedo Boat Fastest
Of Her Size Anoat.

Bath. Me, Oct. 24.-By obtaining n
speed of 81 knots an hour during sew
eral hours trial at sea, today. the new
torpedo boat Dahlgren exceeded her
contract requirements and proved her
self a very able boat. At the same time
she made better time over a mile
course than has ever been reached by
a torpedo boat of her size in the world.
Today's trial was made under very
favorable conditions. there being
scarcely any wind. while the sea was
quite smooth. The engines worked
magnificently, there being little vibra-
ton at % knots and practically none
when going at higher speed.
The Dahlgren went down the river
early in the afternoon, and proceeded
at once to the mile course off South
port. The runs We're made over this
course, and the required 30A knot speed
was soon reached and passed.
At the conclusion of the speeding
test, the boats wheel was put hard
over and she was given a severe turn
under full Roadway. She turned easily
and in a short curve. much to the de-
light of those on board.
The boat will be given other trials
during the last of the week.

Stewart White. slightly to the north Of
Ladysmith.
The two are now in a position to

viii be made on the large Free State
force which entered Natal by way of
TentWa Pass. and which has since been
harrassing Ladysmth. The military
authorities decided that by Joining
their forces. the two generals would be
better able to cope with one large force
at time than by having two small
attachments to oppose simultaneously
two big Boer forces
Accordingly. after defeating the
Free State troops they will offer battle
to tommandant Gen. Joubert. Only 40
miles now separate the two sections of
the Boer forces. Hence the need
fdr swift and telling action. The two
sections If the Boer army together out
number the entire British force three
to one. Hard fighting is certain at a
very early date. Our men are confident
and there is much enthusiasm.
The fighting. today, outside Lady

on either side We're insignificant. Ii
was merely an artillery duel. in which

denly started. without the others OF
the party having sufficient time to de-
Scend the car steps.
Mrs. +. c. T. Sturtevant was about
to step off and was thrown down and
slightly injured.
Miss Ora Reed. seeing that the train
was rapidly gaining Roadway and fear
ing that her mother, who is a tieshy
lady and about 20 years of age. might
be injured if she attempted to step off
called to her: Don't jump. but go on
TO Gardiner"
Mrs. Reed evidently did not hear her
daughters warning. for she continued
TO make her way to the bottom of the

BY this time the train was moving
rapidly away. and the car was near the
Pleasant street crossing. where Mrs.
Reed either fell or stepped off the car.
A boy saw her fall but in the darkness
he could not tell the cause.

She is a most estimable lady and the
whole village is shocked and grieved a.
the sad accident.
1t is said. tonight. that none of the
train hands seemed TO know of the ac
cident and that the train after so
quickly leaving the station did not stop.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Murphy and Engineer Cowan.
When freight train No. Al was pull
ing out of this place. this after
noon. two of the cars jumped the track
near the place called "Jerico." The
train hands at once went to work ana
soon had them again on the rails. one
of the draw bars was found to De
broken and the train was obliged to re
turn to the siding, where the two cars
We're left. The regular traffic was de
layed but a few minutes only, but the
freight was held back about two
hours.
