RIVAL TO VANDERBILT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to United States

Is Anxious to Race.

Among the first passengers to land
from the White Star liner Teutonio,
which reached it's pier a few min.
utes after five o'clock in the after
noon, was Albert G. Bostwick, an au-
tomobilist, well known in New York
and Paris. Mr.. Bostwick was report
ed to have brought with him a ma
chine with which he intended to chal.
lenge William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., the
owner of the swiftest automobile in
America.
Mr.. Bostwick brought back with
him no less than five autos. One of
them is a Winton machine, which he
recently took abroad with him to
test against the best products of
French designers. 1t fulfilled all his
expectations. He also brought back
three Voiturettes of different designs.
Che machine, however, with which he
hopes to break all American records,
is racing wonder which he pur-
chased from the Chevalier de Kuyff
company for $4,000.
''It is not true" said Mr.. Bostwick,
"that have sent challenge to Mr..
Vanderbilt or that L have determined
to do so. I will say, however, that
if Mr.. Vanderbilt or any other anna
ten, desires to try speed conclusions
with me l shall be glad to accommo-
date him"

GREAT AUDIENCES.

DETROIT, Sept. The initial meet.

tour, held in the big assembly room of
the Detroit Light Guard armory Thurs-
day night, was al that he governors
most ardent partsans could have de-
sired in point Of attendance aud entliu-
siasm. The floor and galleries of the
great hall were crowded. Many were
on the outside unable TO obtain seats or
standing room within hearing distance.
The vice-presidentia candidate re-
ceived a tremendously enthusiastic
greeting as he made his wav up
through one of the side asles. AlIree
proportion of the audience stood upon
chairs aud yelled frantically for
"Teddy"
When the Governor rose to speak the
great crowd arose almost en- n asse and
remained standing and shouting for
some time. The governors speech oc.
cupied about an hour in delivery and
was listened to throughout with
thoughtful attention and the telling.
sarcastic and witty points were quickly
caught and applauded, Governor
Roosevelt gave the audience an object
lesson when he asserted that our sol.
diers in the Philippines had less TO
fear from any body of armed bandit
In that country than they had to fear
from the principles of the Kansas CITY
platform and the success of the Demo

cisely the price the WATCHMAN office
has paid-and will pay-its compost
tors, in cold cash, for full tabular COM

tracts, and some of the bidding offices
have paid more. Now what must the

45 cents a thousand to cover these
items of cost: Proof reading, secon-
Diary corrections, making up, putting
into chases, foreman's wages, rent,

mention repairs and minor items of

compare its conclusions with the price

made the State for tabular compost
ton, and that price is only about two
thirds or three-fourths the charge of
standard offices in New England or
elsewhere. The prices of the Albany
firm have no place in straight or legit-
innate job printing. They are the
prices of guerrilla or bushwhacker,

the printers of the State over to the
tender mercies of this jew concern.

ECONOMY WOULDN'T PAY.
Why Some Canned Goods of Com.
merce Are Shipped Grated and
others Are Boxed.

Goods in large packages, like, for
instance, tomatoes in gallon cans,'
said the canned goods man, according
to the New York Sun, "are sometimes
Grated, this being done for the sake OF
economy, the crate costing less than q
box. But canned goods in smaller pack
ages, of which the number of cans put
up is enormous, are commonly shipped
In boxes. The reason for this is very
simple.
THE big cans are likely to have only
strip or a band label, the rest OF
the broad expanse of tin being left un,
covered. 1t isn't necessary to put this
package up in fancy style, for it is u OF
to be displayed anywhere. These
goods are sold to hotels and restaur
ants and other large users. The stew
ard or other purchaser knows the
goods perfectly by the label, which il
to him an unmistakable brand; he
wouldn't care bit if the label wa,
scratched or marred, as it might be by
coming in contact with something
through the open space in the crate
What he wants is the goods.
"On the other hand the small cant
are completely covered with a hand
some label, which helps to make the
goods salable. These cans are dis
played on the shelves and on counter,
and it is important, of course, that
these should be in perfect order as to
the labels. The cans must not be dent.
ed in. One bad-looking can might mar,
whole display, besides not selling sci
well itself. So the small cans are
shipped in boxes for their protection
which is of more Importance with those
goods than the saving that might b,
effected by Grating them"
