THE JERNEGAN SWINDLE.

The stockholders of the Electrolytic
Marine Salts company are to receive a
final dividend Of 6 per cent early in the
coming month. So far as this swindle is
concerned, this closes the business fea-
ture of it. Men were found to take $780,
900 shares in this humbug, for which
they paid from go cents to 81 per share,
and this payment gives the subscribers
about one-half their money back. The
entire list of stockholders do not agree
to this settlement. 1t is said that 215
shares were standing for par value and
are likely to get nothing as the company
has decided to dissolve in the near flu
ture. The special committee handling
the matter feel we'll over their achieve
ment and the majority of the stockhold-
ers are thankful to receive so per cent of
| their investment. If suits had been re-
sorted to, they would have received lit
tie or nothing, for the assets would not
have paid per cent of the value of the
stock. The Rev. ?. T. Jernegan is still
| abroad waiting for the time when he
can in safety return to his native land.
A swindling company of the same sort
has been organized in England, and the
swindle promises to be repeated there.
| Perhaps Mr.. Jernegan will bring some
of the cash from that scheme home in
his pocket Who knows?

AWFUL COST OF THE WAR.

The awful cost of the war in the
Philippines has yet to be realized in all
its seriousness and never has it been
more graphically portrayed than in a
recent letter by the correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun in Washington, who,
in an interview with an officer of the
navy who saw fighting service in the
Philippines, was told that the killing
of 100 Filipinos was not worth one such
life as that of John A. Logan.
The people of the country who glance
over the war bulletins carelessly have
no idea how many officers of the army
have persisted through disease and bull
let's in those far-off islands Only to
those who visit the desolate homes is it
known what is daily transpiring in the
homes in the city of Washington. The
wives and daughters of officers in hys-
terics, moaning over every bulletin OF
dispatch of battle or skirmish, averse to
looking at it or to-having it read for
fear it announces the death of the loved
one. Gen. Otis is safe enough. He sits
in the precincts of his palace in Manila
with his guards around him. 1t is those
like Logan, who are doing the fighting,
which he writes about, who most suffer

FIREMEN,S RELIEF FUND

For the first time in the history of
the Firemen's relief fund in this state,
it has not proved sufficiently large to
satisfy all merited demands made upon
it. Heretofore, the board of commits
sioners having this fund in charge have
been abe to return an unexpended bal
ance to the tres RIrer of the common
wealth, but this past year, however, the
claims have been so many that the full
amount of the fund.- $4,000, has been
expended and further claims to the
amount of about $500 have been paid,
which must be met out Of the new APP
preparation for the fund for 1S99-19OO
The chairman of the board of COM
missioners in his annual report to the
governor, takes occasion to call atten-
ton to the fact that the number of fires
occurring throughout the common
wealth is increasing yearly, and that
this of necessity brings an increase of
fire duty and increased risk to acct
dent and fatal injuries. During the
past year the board has allowed 1859
days injury benefits to "call' men, 1926
days injury benefits to permanent"
men, 11O4 weeks, days injury benefits
to minor children of firemen killed
while in the discharge of fire duty
There was also allowed for II funeral
benefits the sum of $1100. Appended to
the report is tabulated statement of
the amount disbursed to the various
cities and towns of the state, in which
Worcester appears to have received
$239, a sum much smaller than several
other smaller cities of the state. The
injuries received by the benef1ciaries of
the fund were from falling glass, falls
from ladders and hot air explosions.
One fact from the report is worthy of
more than passing notice, that in re-
gard to the deaths of flremen while on
duty, only eleven claims having been
presented as a result from deaths dur
ing the past year in the entire state.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1899.
IRON AND STEEL TRADE.

One of the most important effects of
these great combinations that are being
so discussed today, is the question of
providing capital and stability for their
operations and to take advantage of
the underlying laws of trade. Mr.
Hewitt an authority upon this sub
iect, ably pointed out in a masterful
paper only a few years ago, that Eng
lands capacity for iron production
would soon be overtaxed, that the
world would turn to America for relief,
and that we could lay down the mate
rial for a ton of iron at the furnace
with less expenditure of human energy
than in any other country in the world.
And that so long as this was true, no
matter what the prevailing prices were,
there would be profit in keeping to
work producing and laying up in times
of depression.
Measuring by the coal areas, and
iron ore being equally abundant Gas in
Great Britain)," Mr.. Hewitt wrote in
1856 "the United States can produce
50,000,0O0 tons rer annum with as little
drain on it's natural resources as Great
Britain can produce 3,5OO,OOO and in this
connection it is essential that a most
important fact be noted. have stated
that to produce 100000 tons, Great
Britain required the consumption of
100000 tons of raw materials, or
about 13 tons to each ton of iron. In
the United States, from the greater
richness of the ores and the more gen
eral use of anthracite coal, the same
result could have been achieved with
the use of less than half the quantity
of raw materials, thus economizing la
Dor to an enormous extent.
Endowed with these moral and nat
ural elements to an extent unsurpassed
by the most favored nations, it may
well be demanded why we are not the
largest producers of iron in the world;
why the domestic iron. trade is, affected
with a kind of perpetual catalepsy; why
our ironmasters have been perpetually
knocking at the doors of congress
either for relief or immunity from fur
Their legislation? If you will
examine carefully so much of the dia-
gram as covers the last thirty years
during which time the cost of making
iron has not much varied, you will OBJ
serve that the extreme points of de-
preston in price, which have always
ruined our American ironmasters, dc
not continue more than one or two
years. AT such times the selling price
is below the cost of manufacture, even
in England. But herein lies the ad-
vantage of capital. The English iron
master is either rich enough to hold
his product for better prices or can Dor
row money on it at low rates, while
here the maker must sell at loss OF
close his works, either of which is
ruin. If the American maker could
hold his product, he knows that remu-
nerative prices cannot be long de-
ferred"

DEATH OF CHARLES coGHLAN.

The death of Charles Coghlan, the
famous actor and author, marks the
passing of man who stood in the first
rank among his profession and makes
vacant place in the dramatic world
that will not be easily filled While
he was a man of many eccentricities
of genius, his plays and his work have
always been, considered among the
ablest of his time. He was of Irish
birth and came to this country from
England on inducements held out by
Lester Wallack, and speedily became a
favorite in this country. He played
Romeo to the Juliet of Adelaide Neil
son, which is, in itself, a sufficient ac-
acknowledgement of his genius. For
tune was tickle with the dead actor,
and although his acting and plays
might easily have made him wealthy
had he been prudent man, the golden
tide ebbed and left him at his death
with scanty means.

From Mt Hamilton to Pixies Peak
was the theme, and singularly fruit
full and delightful one it proved in the
hands of the eloquent speaker.
At the earnest request of a number of
the young people of Union church. the
Literary society, which peacefully de-
parted this life two years ago, was last
night revived. DIR. John E. Tuttle, the
pastor, had sent out a call for all who
we're interested to attend an organiza-
ton meeting last night, and about so
responded. Albert B. Kimball was elect
ed temporary chairman. A miscellaneous
program, consisting of tenor solos by
Mrs. Frank H. Walker, soprano solos
by Mrs. I. G. Mills, piano duet by Mr..
Sleeper and Miss Mary Starr, and read
ings by Miss Smith, A. B. Kimban and
Everett Kimball, occupied the first
hour. Mrs. Walkers singing of Hear
We, Israel" and Apart" was a feature
of the entertainment.
At the business session that followed,
Miss Mary Macduff was appointed tenn
porary secretary. 1t was voted to have
a literary society, and Miss Josephine,
G. w. Stone and Miss Mary Starr were
appointed a nominating committee.

INDUSTRIAL FLOTATIONs,

Nearly year has elapsed since the
boom in industrial flotations began,
and up to the present time most of
them have rendered excellent accounts,
although there can be no question in
the public mind that there has been an
immense amount of watering. Soon
official reports must be brought out,
and valuable information is of course
expected, but the greater part of them
will undoubtedly render as meager re-
ports as the corporation laws will per-
init. Fortunately for Worcester, the
the Steel company are upon a safe
dividend basis, owing to the remarka-
BILE prosperity in the iron and steel
trade, and steps are being taken to
make this condition permanent. The
American Steel and Wire Company
have an opportunity to lay aside a
sufficient amount of these savings to
make preferred dividend matter of
assurance for some years to come,
and there is every opportunity for a
the beginning Of the year; SO that the
opposition heretofore made by the COM
mon stockholders will be avoided. They
feel justified in assuming that an ap-
preparation of the earnings for pre-
ferred dividends deprives them of their
rights. In a measure, this is the
truth.
There are circumstances initiating
against any further movement in in
dustrial fotations. Business pros
perity has led manufacturers to ex-
pect cash payment in advance on the
price of their plants, and they will
exact it without doubt. The tight mon
ey market is apt to discourage Dor
rowers, as is also the discrimination
