PROGRESS OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

The rapidity of the growth of the au-
tomobile industry has scarcely been
surpassed by that of any other inven-
ton considering the time that it has
been in vogue, and there is every indi-
cation of it's continuance. Not long ago,
the number of motor vehicle manufac-
turers in France was authoritatively
stated as 800, while the number in Eng
land was estimated at 10, in Germany
so and in the United States co. Since
then the number has increased con-
spicuously in this country, for new
companies have been formed at the
rate of four a week, and recent state
ment shows that the amount Of capital
represented by these concerns comes
close to $500 100000 Bicycle and car
riage companies have gone into the
business, and. there are countless ci'n-
Germs engaged in manufacturing parts
of vehicles and equipment. Others have
been formed merely for operating and
many for both manufacturing and
operating. Special tools have to
be made, and the variety of
nechanisms required is large enough
to constitute several distinct trades.
The automobile trade paper is of course
already in the field, devoted both TO
builders and to patrons.
That the companies do not find bus
mess dull is evidenced by the difficult
ty with which orders are filled. A To-
cal physician who not long ago made
inquiries for an automobile for use in
his profession, was told that he could
not expect to receive one within a year.
In Boston and other cities, where these
vehicles are already in operation, the
number is increasing but slowly,
though surely not through any lack
of popular demand for them. The
French model has hitherto stood as
the standard, but Thomas A. Edison
is authority for the statement that the
American makers have progressed SO
rapidly that another six months should
evolve a better machine in this coun-
try than can be had in Europe.
IL the pEOSIGSo VI the DlCy SlS II all
criterion, the automobile has come not
only to stay but to multiply exceeding
ly. Time may be required for the evolu-
ton Of a thoroughly satisfactory ma
chine, but it can hardly be that human
ingenuity is unequal to this demand,
and if it is not, time will eventually
bring down the price The automobile
will then cease to be a luxury and a
toy and become an instrument of
everyday utility and necessity. Those
who seek for luxury and sport
may still cherish their trotters, PAGERS,
saddle horses, matched pairs and four
in-hands as formerly, and the horse
will find his condition elevated rather
than degraded by the introduction of
the new method of rapid transit Dob
bin may be driven from certain fields
of labor, but he won't be killed.

Gen. Otis reports upon the conditions
in Luzon are far from discouraging.
Though active campaigning is next to
impossible, our troops control the coun-
try for 40 miles north of Manila to San
Fernando and 20 miles south to linus.
The insurgent forces are for the most
part scattered in small bands of from
so to 500, there being apparently only
one command reaching into the thous-
ands. The people in the interior where
not terrorized by the native soldieTy,
are quiet and taking up agriculture,
and the population within the American
lines is steadily increasing. The one
hope of the insurgents, Gen. Otis cables,
is help from the United States!" The
natives have been actually deluded with
the notion that there is an active in
surrection breeding in America, which
would espouse the cause of Aguinaldo,
GUST the Mckinley administration and
drive Otis and his army from Luzon.
That is a fair specimen of the fairy
tales with which this Filipino insurrec-
ton has been kept alive and kick
ing.

TAKE POSSESSION.
Columbia Syndicate
Is Turned Over
to Iselin.
BUILDERS TRIAL WAIVED.
Action Due to Sundays
Favorable Showing With
Defender.

Bristol R. l., June 26.-The new cup
defender Columbia, fully completed,
was turned over to the owners, repre-
scented by C. oliver Iselin, this after
noon, and tonight left for Newport in
tow of the tender St. Michaels.
Mr.. Iselin, in accepting the boat, is
sued statement, which was as fol-
lows: 1.-THE Columbia was trans
ferred to me as acting manager for the
Morgan-Iselin syndicate, Commodore
Morgan, who witnessed the trial yes
terday, expressed himself as fully salts
fled with the boat.
THE Columbia will leave at 5 O'Clock
tonight for Newport, probably being
towed part of the way down by the st.
Michaels, and tomorrow will go out for
her first trial in deep water. The De
fender probably will go outside with
the Columbia tomorrow, but there will
be no regular race between tn yachts.
On Wednesday the Columbia will leave
for New London, and number of us
will witness the Harvard and Yale boat
race Thursday. On Friday the Column
bia will be taken to New Rochelle, N.
Y, after which her movements are sub
ject to the wishes of the New York
Yacht Club. She will enter the race
against the Defender, which will be
sailed off Sandy Hook, July 8, instead
of July 1.
THE boat is finished both inside and
out. During the trial yesterday her
bowsprit started in a few inches, and
the boat was brought back to Newport
last night for the necessary repairs.
This work was done this morning, and
the boat now is ready for her trying
out"
The action of the owners of the new
boat in accepting her without a further
builders trial, is extremely gratifying
to the Herreshoff company, although in
view of the excellent performance of
the yacht in yesterdays trial, the de-
cision caused but little surprise.
A number of carpenters and riggers
were on the boat nearly all day, the in
terror joiner work being finished, while
the bowsprit, which started back dur
ing yesterdays trial, was again set in
position with additional steel braces.

The statement issued on behalf of
Frank P. Bennett of Saugus as candi-
date for speaker Of the next House is
significant chiefly for the accompanying
assertion made by his friends in regard
to Speaker Bates. This is that Mr.
Bates has given assurances that he
would not return to the House and seek
for reelection as speaker if he failed
to get the nomination for lieutenant
governor Unless this is contradicted,
1t would seem to eliminate one of the
motives used to influence other aspir-
ants for the speakership to support Mr.
Bates as against Col Guild for second
place on the state ticket. The geogra-
phical argument is prominent feature
in the Bennett circular, and while it is
of no great Importance, it may be given
J for what 1t is worth. Essex county has
not had a speaker of the House of Re-
representatives. since 1854 Within the
subsequent period of As years, Boston
has had the place eight times, Middle
sex county six times, Berkshire, Wor-
cester, Plymouth and Bristol, one each.
Mr.. Benefits best recommendations,
however, are his force, independence
and parliamentary experience. 1t may
be added that he is man of wealth.

A BORROW OF $500, 900.
Beginning of the End of Kettle Brook
Cases.

The city of Worcester negotiated the
biggest loan in it's history yesterday,
when the bids for the $500, 900 water loan
necessitated by final settlement of the
Kettle brook cases were opened by the
mayor at - o'clock noon, yesterday.
R. L. Day & Co. of Boston have been
awarded the loan at 10S.429. The next
bidders We're Adams & Co., 10S.0s; YER
milye & Co., 1879; Blodgett, Merritt &
Co., 1O7.6S, and Mason Lewis & Co.,
107.599. At the price bid the bonds will
net 3.06-7 per cent.
1t is evident that Worcester possesses
excellent credit in financial circles. The
last loan was that on sewer bonds,
amounting to $300,000; it was awarded
Oct. 27, 1898, to Blake Bros. & Co. Of
Boston at 117.17, netting S.11 per cent.
Now much larger loan is fioated at
a lower net rate.
The new bonds will be issued in de-
nominations of $500 and upwards to
suit. 1t is thought, however, that $40
900 will be the smallest amount wanted
in any one bond. The bonds run 30
years and bear interest at the rate OF
IL per cent on the par value.

CARD CATALOGUE.
DR.. George E. Wire, Librarian Of the Law
Library, Is Busy Man.

DR.. George E. Wire. librarian of the
Worcester County Law Library associa-
ton, and his assistant, Miss Baldwin, are
busy with the work of preparing the new
card catalogue of the 1900 books upon
the shelves. Each book will require from
one to a half-dozen cards, so that, in
addition to the names of the books, the
cards will give definite idea of the con-
tents of each volume. The making of this
sort of a catalogue of course involves a
large amount of labor, but it will be OF
the greatest value when completed. 1t is
the intention to push the work as rapidly
as possible, during the summer months,
while the courts are not in session in
Worcester. and the books therefore not
in great demand by the lawyers. There
Is now no complete catalogue of the books
of any kind. When the new card cat
alogue of the books now on hand is fin
ished IT will be an easy matter to keep
it up-to-date by adding cards as fast as
new books are bought.
DR.. Wire viii stick to his duty until
early fall before taking his vacation, and
by that time he hopes to have the new
work well advanced The library is so
located, in the old court house, that it
will probably not have to be closed during
the progress of the changes in the in
terror of the buildings The quarters of
the library are to be greatly improved
small room adjoining are TO be given up
to the use of the library, so that the pres
ent rooms will be used entirely for the
books and the new space will be for read
ing and conference. only. Many of the
books now have to be kept in a small
room adjoining the large room of the
library which is a very unsatisfactory
arrangement. These books. under the new
order of things will be brought out and
placed in new metallic STACKS convenient
for use. Librarian Wire has had several
consultations with the county commits
sioners and architects regarding the new
appointments of the library and his sug-
gestions are to be followed

If the forecast of the Vatican's de-
cision in the North Brookfield church
dissension is correct, it might seem
like a local setback for a form of Ca
henslyism, a doctrine which has
caused more trouble in other parts of
the country than in New England. Ca
henslyism contemplated not only sep
arate churches for the people of diff
ferent nationalities. but priests and
bishops TO match, and separate schools
in which a foreign language should be
exclusively taught. When the letter is
made public. however, it will probably
be found that this case has been de-
cided mainly upon economic grounds,

Three and six-sevenths per cent. is
not the kind of return man looks for
when placing a money-making invest
ment, but it is very attractive figure
at which to borrow. That is what the
new 100000 Kettle brook damage loan
nets, and it is first rate evidence of
Worcester's high financial credit.
