Tho Years Ship Building.


According to the report Of the COM
missioner Of navigation the gross ton
mage of vessels built in American yards
during the year 1899 was about 10000
tons in excess OF the construction Of the
previous year. The number Of vessels
was s5l in 1899 as compared with s55 in
1885, Fewer steam vessels were built
last year than during the year before.
but the record Of sailing vessels for 1899
is ahead Of that for 1885,
About six-sevenths Of the new vessels
were constructed on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts. The Pacific coast record
falls considerably below that Of 1888: in
fact, the construction Of 1899 Is not one
half so large as that OF 1893 This Is
accounted for In the peculiar conditions
which existed. In the early part Of
1898 the Klondihe excitement had not
died out, and in order to prepare for the
rush at the first part OF the season con-
tracts had been entered into for an

Wealth Through Worth.

wealth. HfOuRH Voftus
There died a man in Boston recently
who did not want to be rich. In the
end circumstances were too much for
his resolve. 1t was his intent in early
life never to seek personal fortune or
more than forty thousand dollars. He
wanted no more wealth than he dared
be responsible for, but money rolled In
upon him in an ever-increasing tide.
and though he gave 1t away lavishiy.
still, as he no more believed in thought
less. unintelligent giving than in
thoughtless. unintelligent editing, there
finally accumulated In his hands be-
tween two and three millions and
great business.
This man, whose portraits show the
indescribable. typical. fine, shrewd. gen.
erous face of New England's best, was
the late Daniel s. Ford, owner and
maker OF the Youths Companion.
He lived so unostentatiously that. until
he died, few knew his name, though all
the world was aware that the journal
which he edited stood for the best and
highest things in life; that it controlled
the taste of its readers instead of fol-
lowing after. and that whoever wrote
for the Companion must write the
kind of thing the Companion wanted
to publish. The pattern OF its stories.
said one of Its readers, admiringly,
absolutely up-to-date, and the combina-
ton appealsperennially to the Yankee OF
the country. Such was Mr.. Ford's sense
of responsibility to his readers that he
permitted no statement OF fact, how
ever BRIEF, to get into the Journal I'M
challenged. 1t was part of the duty of
the large editorial staff to verify every
statement which appeared In the paper.
Did an error creep In unaccountably,
he never hesitated to stop the presses
and to throw out the whole edition. Of
ten at a great money loss. 1t can be
imagined that man so careful for the
letter took much thought for the spirit
of his journal. He was deeply relig-
ious. yet liberal-minded. The larger
part of his accumulated wealth is to be
distributed In benevolent and charita-
BILE work.
The moral of such a career as this 10
written In letters a foot high Mr..
Ford sought first the Kingdom of God
and its righteousness. and there was
added unto him. against his wish and
will, all the things which the rest Of
the world In seeking. II Is hardly
necessary to point out how such a life
refutes the leaden generalization that
no iarge fortune IL ever come by hon
estiy. and the prevalent cynicism that
a pecuniary success means some sac
rifice of rectitude. some falling from
ideals. In Mr.. Ford's case II was pre-
clsely his answering integrity OF pur-
pcse and his consistency to his ideal that
brought about his great and undesired
success.
At the same time any man who Is en-
couraged by his example to seek for
tune along the same high lines will do
we'll to note that here was n man like
Emerson in that he was too good n
philosopher TO he a bad manager. Mr..
Ford believed in a downright. logged.
business as well as OF the contents Of

worn doctrine OF our ancestors. who
trusted God yet kept their powder dry.

JUMPED FROM Il TROLLEY CAR.
A Westviile Girl's stirring Adventur
Lust Nigh.

The New Haven servant girls seem to
have a mania for jumping from NOV
ing trolley cars. The example of the
nurse girl who jumped from car on
Whitney avenue last Sunday was fol-
lowed last night by a Westvile girl
who jumped from car on the Whal-
ley avenue line in Westville, but es-
capped with no serious injury. 1t was
about $3.50 and the Westville car in
charge of Conductor Coyne was bowling
along through Westville at a brisk rate
Of speed. The girl was a passenger on
the car and when it was near the Club
house she arose and without signalling
to the conductor that she desired to
alight there she started for the edge of
the car as if to jump off. Patrolman
Whilday stood on the sidewalk near by
and he yelled to her not to jump. She
did not heed the warning but jumped
and when she struck the ground she
turned complete somersault and land
ed in the gutter. Whilday hurried up
to her and found her endeavoring to get
up. He assisted her to her feet and
helped her to DR.. Marshs office The
doctor found that no bones were broken
and the girl left the officer after giving
her name as Lizzie Glandon, She said
that she lived in Westvile and that
she was a cook. Those who saw the
performance considered it remarkable
that she was not badly injured as the
car was running rapidly when she
jumped and she seemed to strike the
ground with great force.

RUSSIA GIYES ASSURANCE.
Use of Her Troops In China Not for Ter

Washington, June 1a.-When the off,

sage received in the morning from Ad-
miral Remey at the navy department
touching the readiness of the Princeton
Marietta and Zaffiro for immediate SER
vice presented all the news that had
come to the government from the east
since yesterday One matter of great
Importance developed, however, name
ly that the notice of the Russian gov
ernment of It's intention to dispatch 1000
troops to China was accompanied by an
understanding that these troops We're to
be used for the assistance of Europeans
and Americans and with no purpose of
territorial aggression on the part of
Russia. This assurance was received
with the greatest satisfaction, It is
understood that Japan, in view of Rus
sia's frank declarat ton, will consent to
assume the same obligation toward the
other nations, in which case the great
est obstacle to effective action, whether
er concurrent or joint, by the powers
in China, may be considered as re-
moved.
