Lesson in Political Economy.


Those good folks who are so prone to
grumble and croak over women's eX-
travagance in dress and the deplorable
waste of money spent on costly mate
rails and beautiful costumes will, it is
to be hoped, see matters in slightly
different light through the medium of
Miss Hamilton's will. This lady was a
well-known dressmaker of England,
and dealt with the kind of materials
and dresses which these foolish persons
call extravaganza. Yet at her death the
other day five hospitals benefited to the
extent of 100000. 1t is little curious
to think that this munificent bequest
was made out of the proceeds of wom-
ems so-called extravaganza in dress,
and as practical lesson in political
economy it certainly deserves atten-
ton

WILL BE A SUCCESS.
Congress at Philadelphia Prom
ises 10 he Well Attended,

Leading chambers of commerce and
other great trades organizations
throughout the world are rapidly com
ing into line for the international com
mercial congress to be held at Philadel-
phia next fall. Out of 800 invitations
sent out a few weeks ago to those bodies,
asking them each to send two or three
delegates, only 3s declinations have been
received. If the present proportion of
acceptances continues throughout the
list, as there is probability of it's do
ing, the representatives of business
houses alone who will be at the con-
gress when the first sessions begin on
October 10, will run we'll above thou
sand. Formal acceptances have come
from 12 governments, and indications
that the action of those not yet heard
from in an official way are, from the in
formal reports that have come to hand,
that the majority of them will be oili-
cially represented.

IMPROVED SANITATION.
Water and Sewerage Systems of the
White House to BE Complete
ly Overloaded.

Col. Bingham, superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds, has begun an
extensive modification Of the water and
sewerage systems of the white house.
The home of the president of the Unit
ed States has been unhealthy for many
years, and hitherto the attempts at the
introduction OF modern plumbing 9pd
sanitary sewerage have been spasmodic
and painfully Inadequate. Improve
ments made In one corner were offset
by leaks somewhere else.
In making the present scientific i'm
provements an astonishing network of
old cesspools, pipes, conduits, and
drains has been unearthed, many of
them not used, and others which could
not be flushed. The unused drains and
basins are being taken up and the regu-
lar system improved, while provision
for flushing the sewage pipes has been
made. There was no map of the water
and sewerage systems of the white
house, and hence work was done at
random under different administra-
tions.
Complaints of malarial conditions in
the white house have been made by
every president for generations, but 1t
now appears that much of the trouble
is due to an obsolete system, which has
poisoned one president after another
with sewer gas. Col. Bingham be-
lieyes several abandoned cesspools just
discovered are responsible for much of
the so-called malaria of the white
house.

KIPLING's NEW VIEW.
His Recent Illness Opens His Eyes
to Warm Hearts Of Americans.
A Former Dislike which He Held
Gives way before sympathy to
n More kindly and Inter-
ested Attitude.

"The American public" said an inti-
mate friend of Rudyard Kiplng, "un-
doubtedly knows that Mr.. Kipling left
this country with more favorable
opinion of America and Americans
than was the case when he sailed from
New York three years ago for his Eng
lish home. But only Kiplipg's intimate
friends have even q moderate realiza-
tion of the change In his attitude to-
ward America since that first home
ward trip.
"Kipling might not have voiced the
great difference In his feelings as he
said good-by on the dock, but in the Pc
riod of his convalescence from his re-
cent illness, and while he was winning
back his strength In New Jersey and on
Long Island, his changed attitude, un-
consciously, perhaps, was manifested
in unmistakable ways. His Illness,
doubtless. and the loss of his favorite
daughter, Josephine, had much to do
with this change of attitude. A mans
recovery from q severe illness frequent
ly changes the whole direction of his
thought. He entertains more kindly
view of the world in general, he sees In
his friends and In his attendants ad-
mirable traits which he had not fully
appreciated before.
"That was Kipling's case. He be-
came disposed to look upon the Ameri-
cans, whom he disliked when he left
New York three years ago, In a kindlier
light. The opportunity to scratch the
skin and see what was beneath it had
been given to him on his sick bed, and
he had not let the opportunity slip by.
He had felt the warm heart beats of the
Americans whom he had so pitilessly
held up to criticism, and had found that
at the bottom of his own honest Anglo
Saxon heart he liked them"

MAY LEAVE THE ARMY.
Many AIluring Oners Made to Gen.
Wood by Corporations Anxious
TO Secure His Services.

A special to the New York Tribune
from Washington says: It is the be-
lief among officers here that Gen.
Leonard Wood will not return to San
tiago, but will resign from the service
to accept one of the many alluring
offers that have been made to him by
corporations whose directors have been
attracted by his conspicuous executive
ability and positive genius for organ
izing.
Before he left Santiago he had re-
ceived an invitation from Boston to as
sumo the management of New Eng
land concern at a salary of $4,000 a
year, according TO the understanding
of his friends here. He also had under
consideration several applications from
New York setting forth scarcely less
lucrative positions, and to-day it Is an

New York with the heads of the syndi-
cate which recently consolidated most

do not think Gen. Wood will resist all
the temptations that are being put for
ward TO entice him from the army.

LIQUID STEAM A SUCCESS.
New Motive Power IL Tested OF
the New York Central
RAILROAD.

Liquid steam, discovery made in the
development of the new motive power,
compressed air, has had public semi
official test on the Putnam division of
the New York Central railroad, and Is
declared to be q success. The test was
made with the permission of the Ne y
York Central and the understanding is
that large motors Will be built and the
new power will be tried by the Central
for hauling its cars through the tunnel
under Park avenue.
Liquid steam is the rival of COM
pressed air and is the invention of W. f.
Pran. He was formerly associated with
Joseph II! Hoadley, who, with Richard
Croker and Joseph Letter, have under
taken the exploitation of the COM
pressed air motor. Mr.. Prall's invention
is based on the utilization of super
heated water as a motive power and he
and those interested with him claim
for 1t all the wonderful things claimed
for compressed air, and assert that 1t is
In many ways superior. Henry l..
Sprague, of the law firm of Stetson, Jen-
ningS G. Russell, is the president OF the
Prall company, known as the Storage
Power company.
Another company is forming to ex-
plot Mr.. Prall's invention and rival the
Croker-Leiter syndicate. 1t will have

gines and motors for the use of yachts

AS BIG AS TOMATOES
SIX Mammoth Berries Make a Quart
and Weigh over Eight
cen Ounces.

The largest strawberries on record
at the department of agriculture were
received few days ago by Secretary
Wilson. There were six of the berries,
and they completely filed quart box.
The largest berry weighed four ounces
and was 1OK inches In circumference.
The total weight of the six was 1s 2-5
ounces, and they averaged over three
ounces each. Their size made them
look like ripe tomatoes. They were
grown by Arthur T. Goldsborough on
Wesley heights, just outside the city OF
Washington.

increased with benefit TO the health

the ration more vegetables, fruit, sugar,

is needed, preferably blue of thin goods,
better looking than Khaki, more serv-

color, are familiar in the tropics. Flan-
