has met a decisive check The activity
IN the formation of large combinations.
which aroused the antitrust agitators
to renewed attacks upon the ''octopuses''
last year. is certainly ON the wane. Three
facts are noteworthy in this connection.
The first is the decrease in the number
of new combinations formed. During
the month of August fewer charters for
corporations were taken out than in any
month since January. 1899. Consolidation
seems to have run its course in most
branches Of business and the creation of
new trusts has well nigh ceased.
Another fact is the shrinkage in the
values of industrials. Not only are few
new trusts coming into existence, but
also the shares of those already formed
are declining 1t was pointed out in our
financial summary on Thursday that of
than it did one year ago. The decline
in the other 80 shares averages II points

1t was inevitable that this slump in in
dustrials should follow the period Of fe-
verish speculative activity In the new
stocks Most Of the recently formed
trusts are heavily over-capitalized- The
value of their shares is now falling
toward a point that will represent their
real investment value. It thus appears
that the evil OF over-capitalixation is

Everybody concerned, not excepting
the law officers and the general public,
had timely warning of the great strike
of coal miners which has taken place in
Pennsylvania, yet nobody has done a
thing to stop it Now that it Is on, the
business of the country will lose enough
money judiciously applied to have pre-
vented it The taxpayers will be called
upon to pay a sum for the maintenance
of a police force to preserve order which
applied at the proper time and place

In order to emphasize point in pc-
litical editorial, the Boston Transcript
prints the following boom notice of KAN
sas: 1.-THE wheat crop of Kansas is this
year the largest ever raised in that state
or in any other. It is estimated at 49,
O00, 900 bushels, worth about SS9,000,0 900
on the farms. The capacity of the ele-
vatOrs and the railways is unequaled to
the task of storing and transporting this
enormous crop. Other signs of the un-
paralleled prosperity of Kansas are the
increase of over so per cent in the value
of live stock and the addition OF nearly
100 per cent to the amount of bank de-
nnsits since 1896"

TO LEAVE SALIVA.
Grocer Lee Thinks Citizens DO Not

Salina, Kas-, Sept Alt is probable
that H. d. Lee, the well known whole

Men from Chicago have been here
looking over the field and it is thought
that the big house will change hands
before many days. Mr.. Lee does not
like the idea of another house coming
here. He says he opened the field at
this place ten years ago and made
successful fight against the river houses

saThe cloak of religion has helped a
great many men to commit crimes, and
has helped probably an equally large
committed said one of a group of men
at the National 81 saw an instance
where the religious dodge helped out
gang of tramps and some petty law
breakers. 1t was down in Texas and the
Jail was filled with a variety of Jail
birds usually found in town of 10000
people. The city was particularly hard
on tramps just at that time ana a va
grant was given 80 days on the rock pile.
Quite a number of tramps had been
sentenced in one day. I believe there
were 20 of them, and they did object
strongly to pounding rock. They would
have had to serve their full time had IL
not been for a tramp printer who was
arrested the day following the arrest of
the big gang of tramps. When the
printer was put in it was evening and
the tramps were sitting around cursing
their luck and the town. That night a
bright thought occurred to the printer
and in the morning he prayed very loud
1y. The tramps guyed him and the Jail
err came to listen to the fun. During the
day he got the jailer fto send for a
preacher and through him he succeeded
in getting hymn books and Bibles. That
night he held services and sang hymns.
He had a splendid voice and soon had
the tramps singing with him. He was
an intelligent man and made very good
talk. He held services three times a day
and within week every tramp was con-
verified. There was not suspicion of
ridicule or deriSion among them at their
religious efforts after the first week, and
they gave every evidence of seriousness
and sincerity. The news of the strange
revival was soon carried over the town
and the women and men who were
church members came to see and hear
the tramps- They were so impressed by
the earnestness and religious sentiment
of the meetings that they prevailed upon
the mayor to release the prisoners at |
the expiration of ten days and they fur
nished them with clothes and gave them
tered, but the next night the printer
was again in the jail. His plan had
worked so wen that he could not resist |
the temptation to celebrate and 50 he
filled up whisky and told everyone |
who would listen how he had converted |
them. He served full time for his Of /
Tense for he could not repeat his relig- |
ious plan on the same community. There |
is a question in the minds of the police |
whether the tramps were really convert
ed. or whether they caught on to the adj |
vantage pretense would give them and |
simply acted a part"

AORANG| WINS A RECORD
FASTEST TRIP EVER MADE FROM
VICTORIA.
Colonel Mccarthy Returns From His
Trip to Arrange for Seattle Steamer
Line-The Prospect.

The S. S. Aorangi broke all records
on this trip from Victoria, She came
down in days ard 10 hours and now
holds the record for the passage.
The steamer was delayed in Victoria
by storms until the morning of the 25th
and when she started fro Victoria
at o'clock last Saturday morning Cap
tain Hay decided to give her a chance
to show her speed. He made 101 miles
by noon and the record of miles for the
next six days shows the following dis
tances covered: 345 miles, 34S, 1863, SAT,
355. Honolulu was reached before mid
night last night.
The best trip ever made before was
by the steamship Warrimoo, which, in
1896, covered the distance in days, l
hour and nine minutes. The Aordngps
record this time is over six hours bet
ter. She averaged 14.6 knots per hour
for the whole trip.
The Aorangi brought a number of
Honolulu people home. Among them
We're Colonel c. j. Mccarthy, and n. E.
Gedge of the Wilder Steamship COM
pany. Gedge started from here for
China some weeks ago, on a vacation
trip around the world.
Colonel Mccarthy went to Seattle to
see about line of steamers from there.
He says that the British-American line,
which is now running the ships IroquOis
and John Currer is trying to make ar
rangements to get return cargoes for
San Francisco. The idea is to have the
vessels run triangular trips between Sen
Francisco, Seattle and Honolulu, get
ting and leaving cargoes in each place.
The steamer Elihu Thompson will
probably be put on the run next month,
when she will be released from the
Nome trade. She has cold storage cap
acity of $50 tons.

SIGNING.

Signing is but another name for OXy-
gen starvation. The cause of signing is
most frequently worry. An interval Of
several seconds often follows moments
of mental disquietude, during which
time the chest walls remain rigid until
oxygen, thus causing the deep inhala-
ton. 1t is the expiration following the
sigh, and this sigh is simply an effort
of the organism to obtain the neces-
sary supply of oxygen. The remedy is
to cease worrying.
