The Carnegie Consolidation.

Happily the disagreements between
Mr.. Frick and the Carnegie Steel
Company, which were described in
an article in the Regic,o Of RerierS
last month, have come to an end
without the litigation which, if pro-
tracted, might have disturbed the
magnificent economy of production
due to Mr.. Carnegie's genius. A
giant corporation has been formed
under the laws of the State Of New
Jersey, the laws Of Pennsylvania not
permitting such an organization, to
include the score or more properties
in which Mr.. Carnegie is interested.
The separate properties retain their
Pennsylvania charters. the Carnegie
Steel Company itself changing in
Pennsylvania from firm to corpo-
ration, and the whole arc combined
under the New Jersey charter, with
a capital of $1G0,O00,O0O. Mr.. Car
negie owns a majority OF the stock OF
the new corporation, Mr.. Prick is a
stakeholder to the extent of SIG, 000,-
900, and the remainder of the stock
is divided among the partners in the
seperate properties, none of it being
offered to the public. Mr.. James B.
Dill, the lawyer in charge Of the vast
ly complicated details of this reorgan-
ization, has drawn up charter which
gives the Carnegie Company the
right to engage in such number of
industries as would seem to complete
ly cover every operation connected
with the making of steel and steel
manufactures. from the original ex-
traction Of the raw materials from
the earth to the marketing of the
finished product This altogether
fortunate settlement Of the questions
at issue in the Carnegie Steel Com
pany will doubtless insure the con-
tinued attention of both Mr.. Carnegie
aud MIR. Prick, in greater or less de-
gree, to the business of producing the
best steel at the smallest cost by
means Of an extraordinary division
of labor The vast fortune accumu-
lated by Mr.. Carnegie and the wealth
and industrial power also secured by
his partners and associates are simply
the result of great courage and fore
sight in the use of legitimate bust
ness opportunities such as were equal
ly available to other business men.
Americans have no more rerson to
find fault with Mr.. Carnegie for hav-
ing been exceptionally successful
than has the business community Of
Prussia for looking with hostile eyes
at the stupendous success achieved |
by the Krupp firm through a like
talent for the organization of indus
try on large scale. 1t is due to the
success Of MIR. Carnegie and few
other great captains OF industry in
this country that America has at

IT is reported from the japanese
capital that the government is taking
steps without waiting for the request
of the United States to restrict the
emigrating of japanese laborers to
the United States. 1t is explained
that the recent increase of this imi-
grafton was due to the competition of
japanese migration societies, the
laborers being all under the delusion
that there were untold opportunities
for work and wages in America.

by the Hon. II. ID. Flood, who was
elected temporary chairman of the
Norfolk Convention, with reference
to the Constitutional Convention,
provided as follows: For an election
to be held on the fourth Thursday in
May, nineteen hundred and one, and
left the next general assembly
to provide for the election of Dele
gates to the convention. Under his
bill the convention would not as
semble before nineteen hundred and
two. The bill passed by the Gener-
al Assembly was somewhat different

WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS.
The Feminine Philosopher Makes a
Few Sage and Saucy Re-
marks.

Nowadays ii music roll is just as apt
to contain a sausage as sonata, says
the Philadelphia Times.
With the rudder of truth gone and
the compass of faith lost, love soon
0fnes to shipwreck.
Some women's idea of their rights is,
all that they now have together with
those enjoyed by men.
A man realizes the value of his wife
when she goes away on visit leaving
him to mind the children
1t is a wise woman who knows her
own business, and it is wiser one who
thoroughly attends to it.
TO refuse man in order to have the
fun of hearing him propose again is
dangerous; he may propose again to
some other girl.
1t is not always wise to ask child
for his opinions in public; they are
generally uncompromisingl and some
times uncomfortably frank.

from going to n dance because she
dropped hot curling iron down her
back probably at the time of the ac-
cident danced enough for one evening.

DON'T LIKE FRECKLED FACE.
Former Actress Takes steps to Sup
press Her Picture as an Adyer-

Mrs. NJ. A. Kraus, whose husband is
an advertising agent on Park row,
New York, feels she has been damaged
by an advertising firm of Baltimore,
Nd. which has made use OF repro
duction of her photograph to adver-
tise its wares. Mrs. Kraus was former
~ Anna Belmont, an actress. Several
weeks ago she was astcnished to see in
magazine two views OF her face, one
covered with spots and frecllles. which.
she says, never marred her counte-
nance, and the other representing an
unblemished beauty, which, she AYERS,
she has always been. Under the pic
lures was printed the words: "Are
you ashamed of your face?"
Mrs. Kraus Immediately put her cas Sc
in the hands of lawyer. who now de-
mands that an injunction be issued to
prevent the further use of her photo
graph.
The attorney wrote to the Baltimore
hrm protesting and the firm replied
that it had selected Mrs. Kraus' photo
graph from those of 200 beautiful wom-
en- which has been submitted, as the
most beautiful of the lot, and desired
to continue presenting its wares in con-
nection with the photogra
Mrs. Kraus was consulted but or
dered the lawyer TO suppress the use
of her photograph.

BANDAGES Or PULP.
Their Ready Application Is Only One
of the Many Advantage
They Possess.

a United States naval surgeon adyo-
Gates the substitution of wood pulp
sheets for haXseed meal. etc, in MAX
ing poultces, says the Philadelphia
Record He cuts Il sheet of the pulp
TO Il size approximate to the surface TO
be covered. soaks the sheet in hot wa
ter until il has become thoroughly
softened, then wrings it out. very light
~, and applies. The wood pulp sheet
will absorb and hold from four to ave
times its weight of water, and, since
heat and moisture are the desiderata
in pouItices, this furnishes them in
simple. cleanly form. No cloths are
needed no cooking. no stirring and
spreading on cloth, just "A soaking in
hot water. And the incest part is the
total absence of the mess inevitable to
making faxseed meal pouItces, al
though there is, too, great economy
Of time and trouble. 1t is sometimes
advisable to put piece of oiled muslin
over the sheet TO help to retain the
heat and moisture.
When the "poultce" begins to get
cold take it off. wiring out the water,
and soak it again in hot water. and so
on indefinitely. The surgeon has used
the same sheet Of pulp wood for two
days poulticing. in the hands OF an ig-
norant man at that, his instructions
to him being ito soak the plaster in hot
wafer whenever it got cold, and put it
on again"
by the way, every physician who has
had the annoyance and trouble of be-
ing compelled to leave an alI-important
matter of poulticing to an ignorant
person will appreciate a way that will
allow no loophoIe for mistakes and
failures.

RULES FOR MARRIED MEN.
why Doesn't Somebody Give
Them Few Hints.

do wish some one would write few
rules for men, said young married
woman recently to the Baltimore News
writer. I'm awfully tired OF reading IN
magazines and newspapers that must
meet my husband when he comes home
from his Office pleasantly ard cheer
fully" That tle house must be like a
new pin. ] must be prettily gowned,
the dinner must be daintily cooked and
served and that he mustn't be worried
with a recital of the troubles of the day,
no matter if delirium supervenes for
me.
These precepts are all right theoret-
ically and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctively who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration,
but why aren't there few laws of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
Why isn't there some one to tell
them TO look cheerful when they come
in. and to forbear to grumble il dinner
is trihe late for any good reason, to
be a little sympathetic and alfectionate,
and re member that theirs are not the
only troubles in the house.
According to the ordinary writer, a
woman'3 whole married life should be
spent in practicing expedients to keep
her husbands love from growing cold,
while he apparently may pursue any
course he pleases, civil or uncivil, tyran
meal or gentlemanly, and be sure of re-
tanning hers.
This may not be the masculine idea
of the ease at all; the sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
it is not the writer's fault ifthey don't.
| sedulously keep all such articles away
from John, for he's a very good hus-
band. and I'm afraid such literature
would put ideas into his head and spoil
him.
Now, poor unenlightcned soul he has
an idea that my side of the partnership
has its own worries and he tries to help
me straighten them out. but who
knows how he would change if he ever
discovered that he is really made Of
china and has to be handled with care
to keep from being broken?
