HOW TO CARE FOR UMBRELLAS
Hints From = Manufacturer which Mny
Proioug Their Uaefain~ss.

Manufacturers and jobbers of um-
brellas say that there were more um-
brellas sold during the past year than
for the past five years. Especially is
this true In Baltimore OF the finer
grades OF goods. for which the de-
mand has been unusually great. Re
tailers did remarkably large holiday
trade. and. OF course. the manufactur-
ers and jobbers profited by II. While
Baltimore does not rank high as n
manufacturing center for umbrellas
In point of numbers. It's reputation
depends on the fine quality OF goods
made up In this city. It is estimated
that over 800 hands are steadily en-
gagged In the manufacture OF umbrel-
las In Baltimore. and that an average
OF 5000 complete umbrellas are turned
out every week. During some seasons
the figures are greater or less. but that
Is the average production. Like many
other articles OF manufacture. the max
Ing OF umbrellas has been reduced TO
the assembling OF the parts and turn
In. out the complete shelter from the
rain. One frm makes the steel tubing
which nowadays forms the stick" OF
the umbrellas. another turns out the
ribs. another the various fancy han
dies. and so on through the list. silks
and other materials for the covers are
cut and tewed In the factory. whcr.
the other parts are brought by the
thousand and put together. To such
n degree OF perfection has the machin-
cry been brought for making the vari-
Gus parts OF an umbrella that II Is
said that II ls actually cheaper TO make
a new umbrella than TO repair an old
taken by workman 20 repair an um-
breila he can turn out probably half a
dozen now ones complete. Recent
sales show that while Baltimoreans
prefer the better qualities OF silk COW
ering for umbrellas. they favor natural
wood handles or those tipped with
pearl for ladies' umbrellas. For men
the demand Is for the combinations In
Ivory handles. next 10 the natural wood
sticks and the silver mounted wood
handles. A manufacturer gives three
points about the care OF umbrellas
which will tend to their lasting longer
while IN service. In the ilrst place an
umbrella should not he tightly rolled
and then put In close cover unless
II N desired 10 have tho silk cut 10
pieces In every fold. Even when lylrg
in stock II IN said that tightly rolled
umbrellas will cut out In few weeks.
The other prrraution IL TO open an nm.
brella when II has been wet and let Il
dry while spead open. This will pre-
vent tho water gathering In the folds
and rotting the fabric which forms the
covering baltimore Bun.

A KING OF FINANCE.
FRANCIS p. OWINos' GREAT
MONETARY DEALINGS.
He Owes More Than Five Millions of
Dollars and How He Got That Far
the ARe
Chicago letter.


A Chicago man remarkable in the
worldsof finance is Francis P. Owings.
He is remarkable not for his vast
wealth, but for the enormous debts he
amassed, his liabilities amounting to
exactly $5.564,917. The fact that he
owes this huge sum makes the situa-
ton more notable than II he had ac-
cumulated the amount in the same Pc
riod, decade. While it is, to the
majority a hard matter to become rich,
1t Is granted that 1t is easier of accom-
pIishment than to get so deeply In
debt as has Owings. The story OF the
man who deals in debts SO splendidly
and who has failed on the most mag
nificent scale yet known is a part of
Chicago's history. Francis p. Owings
Is the man who originated the idea OF
using the 9s-year lease as basis for
building operations. He invented the
process and put up at least thirty
buildings in the business district OF the
city. For ten years the theory which
he originated controlled real estate
values in the downtown district and
led to the erection of three-quarters Of
the skyscrapers in Chicago. Owings
started practically without dollar but
his dealings In the business world
brought him so prominently before the
public as successful promoter that he
can. as soon as his affairs In bank
ruptcy courts are settled, secure unlim-
tied capital for a new start. 1t was
he who brought to the west the idea
OF building skyscrapers. Architects
refused, owing to wind pressure and
to the quicksand formation upon
which downtown buildings rested. to
be responsible for damages in case the
buildings were wrecked. but Owings
accepted the responsibility and they
were successfully erected.
Owing to unfortunate circumstances

THE BLAcKMAN IN HAVANA.
How the white Fellow Passenger Was
Cleverly Outwittcd.

A black Cuban and white Cuban
drove up to the Pasaje hotel entrance
in Havana, Cuba, a few days ago. in
the same carriage. The white man got
out first and ran his hand down into
his pocket for peseta with which to
pay the driver. The black man got
out next and did exactly the same
thing. Then followed that old familiar
game Of each man waiting for the 9TH
er fellow to pay without seeming to do
so. 1t was a slow race. Each had
glue on his fingers and the pesetas in
both pockets were very elusive. Final
ly the negro. in apparent desperation,
pulled out peseta and held
1t up toward the driver. There
upon the white man found his
peseta right on. and extend
ed it also. but just out of reach. Ca
ramba." exclaimed the black man, as
the dollar slipped from his fingers and
rolled under the carriage. The white
man was stuck. He gave up his peseta
lust as though he had been dying to
do so all along while his black brother
scrambled after his peseta under the
wheels. Il believe these niggers is
smarter'n ourn." was the grinning
comment of an old Georgian who sat
hard by and witnessed the episode.

LAND SLIPPING AWAY.
Entire blum sliding Into tho Missour
River.

Entire blum sliding Into tho Missouri
River.
A mile south of Atchison, Kansas,
the entire side Of n bluff Is sliding into
the Missouri river. The avalanche is
quarter of mile long, and Mt its
base is the most expensive piece of rail-
road track on the Missouri Pacific sys-
ten. There is probably not another
quarter Of n mile Of track In the Unit
ed States which 1t costs more to main
tain. The odd thing about this monster
landslide is that 1t has been slipping
down for twenty years, and unless 1t
takes an unexpected plunge will prob
ably be slipping for the next twenty
years, and possibly fifty or n hundred.
The avalanche is moving more or less
all the time, but not enough to require
watching by the Missouri Pacific ex-
cept about two months in the spring.
During the winter the moisture Is
held In the ground, and when the frost
thaws and the spring rains come the
great mass of earth begins slipping.
Sometimes II comes down foot In
twenty-four hours, and once In awhile
1t slides six feet. The Missouri Pa
ciflc then puts n force of from twenty
to fifty men at work pulling the track
back to Its proper place and keeping 1t
level. A man is employed to watch the
track Mt night and see that 1t does not
get SO far out of line as TO topple
train over into the river. Orders are Is
sued TO engineers 10 20 slow over the
bad track, for the jar of n train might
cause an unprecedented move. The
current OF the Missouri is always very
swift In the spring, and 1t wears away
the earth as 1t slides in, and 1t appears
n few miles below In the form OF an Is
land
1t costs the Missouri Pacific several
thousand dollars and causes n great
deal Of anxiety every spring, but there
is no way Of avoiding II.

side that recommended by oliver
Cromwell-to trust In God and keep his

cock crow. 1t is accepted as sign of
good luck, and his duty is done cheer
fully during the day. for he considers

however, he should hear dog bark
blown upon the bugle. it is certain
sign of misfortune. and Tommy" goes
about his duty during the day with a
vague sense of dread. and II he is pun
ished for any neglect of duty or breach
of discipline. he puts 1t down to the
fact that somebody's wakeful terrier
barked before reveille. A soldier scion
Of long line OF soldiers possessed a
bent and battered button which had
been handed down to him from an an
cestor. Scots Fusilier guardsman who
had fought at Talavera and had been
struck by spent bullet on that very
button. Succeeding generations of SOL
diers had carried that button about
with them, and 1t had acted as a tails

shot, though often in action. One car

SENATOR HoAR AND THE TAGALs.
ELMER LEE, NJ. D.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 'In your Tagals In the Senate" (January
I'D you say that Senator Hoar has never made the
slightest attempt TO controvert the assertion that
only small fra ,tion OF Philippine inhabitants sup
ported the insurrecton, and that they trying
to usurp the power of tyrants for themselves.
If you will kindly turn TO Page TAI of THE Con-
gressonal Record" you will find that II at
Senator Hoar's instance that the Senate has
printed the official report Of two naval officers, ap
proved by Admiral Dewey and on Page 749 to 1852
you will find that their report absolutely contro-
verts the first clause of the assertion while It
mentions page 75l Section ~ specific incident
mat sufficiently shows the second clause to also
be untrue
The Senate is likely to bring the truth to the
knowledge OF the people, and your lending the au-
thority or your good name to isstatemens-which
must think you believe true, but ought to know
are not true-can only do harm to party
FROM the outlook II may be said that
the chances that the opposition will presently
make itself possible TO Republicans who are
sterny opposed to the so-called Presidents policy
ana this done, either the President accept the
cuban policy for the Philippines or the Republican
party will be defeated.
why DO not leaders at Washington get
nnder shelter while yet there is time. before the
rain comesH Even from their viewpoint of selfish
politics their unwisdom in taking such unneoes-
sary risk is obvious. r. u. WCODRUFF
