General Lawton is another strong
example, Of national hero. His
conspicuous valor appeals to all
high minded patriots. He was
leading his army against a strong
hold, of the enemy. Duty called
him to the very front. and he fear
lessly made himself o target for the
silarpshooters. This conduct might
be ciassed as recklesness but valor
must command admiration. The

The. recent panic in New York
was tlfe' direct out come of
gambling in the stocks Of industrial
trusts. Some of these organiza.
tions went to pieces aud carried
with them some banking institu
tions that were supposed to be very
solid. This occurrance will be a
salutary lesson. The craze for
speculation has encouraged the
organization oil many stock com.
pauies with no economic virtue 10
support the exravagant invest
ments. And too often the manage
msht Of these companies is dis.
honest. The real capital is
furnished by tie deluded investors
aud the managers reap rewards toe
often by the profit that results from
vtatered stock. The organizers
sall large blocks of stock cha,
represent nothing but speculative
vdues. There could be no more
hazardous investment than the
p,iichase of stocks that have onl,
a klarins ppspeetus to establish
values. 1t Is no, a wonder that 1
crash should follow an era of un
usual extravaganza in stock
gambling such as has prevailed
for half year in the money center:

BRIDGE THE PACIFIC
Nature, In Time, VIII Construct a
Bridge From Alaska to Russia.

Nature, In Time, VIII Construct a
Bridge From Alaska to Russia.
There will be a bridge connecting
this country with Asia at no very dis
tant day." said Prof. w. j. MCGEE. the
Government scientist.
IF you look at any map of the world
you will find the bridge ! speak or In
dictated by the line of the Aleutian
chain, which extends from southwest
ern Alaska westward in a curve bear
ing somewhat toward the Russian is
lands, which, physiographically speak
ing, form part OF the same system, Is
the southern boundary OF Boring sea-.
The line of islands extends clear across
from Alaska to the Asiatic side, with
many gaps between, which, as ! have
stated, remain yet to be filled In before
the bridge is finished"
But how do you know that they will
be filled in?"
The best possible reasons exist for
knowing that they must be filled In,
and that the land bridge between our
territory and Asia will be made COM
plete. 1t is certainty, entirely be-
yond dispute, that the islands OF the
Aleutian chain are steadily rising. In
fact, gradual folding up OF that part
of the earth's crust is taking place, and
the line OF the fold is represented by
the Aleutian islands and the Russian
islands, which continue the system
across the Kamchatka. The territorial
expansion of the United States is pro-
crossing by natural, as well an
through political, means. 1t is pro-
crossing in a northwesterly direction,
owing to geologic causes, the dry land
of western Alaska gaining steadily on
the sea. In other words, the west coast
OF Uncle Sans arctic province Is adj
vancing toward the Asiatic shore.
THE Yukon river is continually
bringing down to the coast enormous
quantities of detritus and depositing it
off shore. The detritus does exactly
what is accomplished in cities where
the refuse dumps eventually form great
areas OF new ground for the extension
OF streets and the foundations OF
houses. In a word, 1t Is a landmaker,
and in the way | describe 1t has added
thousands Of square miles to the Alas
kan Territory. II has built the whole
OF the immense Yukon delta, and has
made the waters off shore so shallow
that even small vessels can hardly get
within sight of the coast. Necessarily
before very many years have elapsed
these shadows will be converted in
their turn into dry land by the con-
tinuous outpour of material from the
river"

Most people suppose" and an ex-
Californian, that the vertical row or
hieroglyphics on a Chinese laundry
check are merely so many numerals.
AS a matter OF fact, they are nothing
of the kind, but constitute a brief and
spicy description of the individual
who left the bundle. If you will take
the trouble to notice it, you will see
that the laundryman always goes
through exactly the same programme.
He takes the package. gives you a
swift, comprehensive glance, and then
proceeds to decorate a slip of rice pa
per with from two to five India ink
chicken tracks. What he has really
written is probably something like
this:
Fat foreign devil who resembles a
pig: squinty eyes. and wart on the left
side of his nose
"You carry around this f1attering pen

reads, No. 4-11-44,' and when you call

A Song Merchants business.

There has lately died in Paris a M.
Lucien DeloPmei, who was generally
known as the song merchant. He was
an able puryeyor of music-hall ditties,
and is said to have left a fortune Of
about 100000. principally made by
furnishing cafe-concert vocalists with
topical songs. NJ. Delormel, who was
only fifty years of age, tried his hand
at dramatic authorship, taking Sardou
rs his model, but money did not come
In quickly enough. He started on the
patriotic song business after the war,
and In conjunction with music-hall
comedian named Wiener founded la
ter on firm which guaranteed to pro-
vide cafe-concert managers and vocal
lists with ditties, both comic and senti-
mental. The firm prospered, but, like
Erckmann and Chatrian, the partners
disagreed, so Delormel conducted tho
business alone. He rarely wrote a
song, but signed those composed for
him by budding Berangers living in
garrets waiting for better days.
Some of the most successful songs
or ballads like those of Yvette Gull
bert, for instance, who was supplied by
the Inflated Jules Jouy, were COM
posed and sung independently of Delor-
mel's assistance or interference, but he
generally directed his young men to
produce good limitations of whatever
had taken the town by storm. He is
credited with the Boulangist song, EN-
Revenant de la Revue" and also with
"Pere la Victoire." 1t is affirmed that
he made $4,000 by EN- Revenant de
Ia Revue" alone, and he also touched,
as the phrase is. authors rights for
other compositions to remarkable ex-
tent.

CHILD HURT BY scoRcHER
Neg. o Cyclist the Cause Of Jennie
!. Klein's Broken Leg.

Joseph Wilson, of No. 246 Ogden avenue,
this morning reported to the Webster
avenue police that his little ave-year-old
granddaughter. Jennie -Iklein, had her
right leg broken above the ankle last
night as a result of scorching by a negro
cyclist. The child was sitting oh the curb
with some other children at the corner
of Ogden avenue and South street. The
negro, who didn't even have a lamp on
his bicycle, came .scorching up Ogden ave-
nue. and attempted to turn into South
street. In doing so he ran into stout
citizen. The stout citizen, the negro and
the bike tumbled in pron1dscuous heap
on top of the children sitting on the curb.
The children screamed. The fat man, as
soon as he could catch his breath, cursed
the scorcher, but was too badly shaken up
to do any fighting
As soon as the heap was disentangled,
and as all the children except little Jen-
ME were running and angry mammas
were congregating, the negro mounted his
bike, which was not broken, and sped
swiftly away. He is unknown, but de-
scription of him has been furnished the
police Little Jennie was picked up and
carried into her home and Dr.. Nevin sum-
moned He set the broken limb.

MAYOR Hoos' STABLE.
Only Asked the Aldermen as Mat
ter Of Courtesv to Build.

The refusal of the Board of Aldermen
to give Mayor Hoos permission to build
a frame stable at the rear of his property
on Third street, is not bothering His
Honor very much.
81 simply wrote to them as matter of
courtesy said the Mayor, this morning.
.T do not think I need ask for permis-
sion to build small structure on my
own property It's merely an alteration
However, since the Board refuses l sup
pose that's an end of it,
The. Aldermen, at least some of them,
think that the request of the Mayor is
somewhat at variance with the reasons
His Honor gave when yetoing permis-
sion to Mic sael Lawless who desired to
build a frame stable at No. 1S4 Third
street. The Mayor then being informed
that the building, when erected, was to
be used as a stable and storehouse for
wagons, claimed that the location was
not suitable one for that purpose, be-
ing in the centre of block OF hne dwell
ings. Mr.. Lawless then renewed his ap-
plication, accompanied by the statement
that the Mayor was in error, that he
did not intend the building to be used
as stable and wagon depository the
resull Of which was the passage by the
former Board of the resolution, which
the Mayor, who appears to be of the
same opinion STILL again vetoed.
Mayor Hoos request, laid over on Tues
frame building on rear Of lots Nos. 20
and Il, block No. 277, Jersey avenue,
about twenty feet, build brick piers and
make repairs.
