REGISTERING FIRM NAMES.
Seine Queer Facts Brought to Light
in New York.

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-This was the last
day for the registration of the full names
of members of firms doing business in this
city under a trade or assumed name. As
failure to comply with the law is punish
able by fine or Imprisonment, or both,
there was a rush at the county clerk
office at the last moment of those who
have delayed complying with the new law.
The exact number of Incorporated firms
which complied with the law will not be
known for several days, but, according to
Deputy County Clerk Fahrbaeh, who had
charge of the registration, there are more
than 1000 firms.
The new law is in the interest Of bust
ness houses that do credit business Prior
to its passage { was matter of frequent
occurrence thai a person holding a judg
ment against an unincorpcrated firm was
unable to collect, for the reason that the
responsible persons of the firm could not
be found.
or the large number of registrations
there are many that were unnecessary.
These include Chinese laundries and liquor
stores. There are many peculiar registra-
tons. For instance, the American File
Company, according to the certificate of
registration, is owned by John Roughedge.
The Seven Sutherland Sisters are three
men, two Irishmen and a German.
number of young lawyers reaped har-
vest out of the law. In company with a
notary. it was the practice of these men TO
run about the city. Wherever they saw a
business being carried on under an as
sumed or trade name they would go in and
advise the proprietor of the law. In most
cases the lawyer got the job of drawing up
the certificates and charged accordingly.

NOW ARMED OCCUPATION
The South African War Passes the
Transition Stage.
Military Operations Daily Diminish
Poorly Supplied With Ammunition
to Do Much Fighting Need of
Reform in the british Army.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The military impor-
lance of the operations in South Africa are
daily diminishing as the war passes the
transition stage into armed occupation. 1t
is not to be expected that fighting will
henceforth develop beyond brief swoops on
garrisons which General Roberts is quar-
tering at all important centres. None of
the Boer leaders has any inclination to
submit, and with the improvement of the
season in October there may be new activ-
ity displayed toward selling British arms
and ammunition conveys. The lack of am
munition and not the lack OF energy is re-
ducing the Republican forces.
The British Government has announced
that as the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal are already annexed there will
be no reason at any time for proclaiming
peace. 1t would. indeed, wreck the pre-
iected Cancellation policy If a day were
selected which the jingoes of future years
could celebrate as kind of Sedan day. be-
sides the ironic comparisons that the con-
duct OF this war is sure to call up.
General Roberts will send the city of
London volunteers from Pretoria on oc-
tober l. Others will follow, according to
transport arrangements, but the new year
is sure to see over 100, 600 British troops
still in South Africa. Roberts himself is
expected to return before then. He has
authorized civilian freight train to start
from Durham to the Rand this week-tle
first in twelve months.
The industrial population is still dis
couraged and their return will not likely
be allowed until General Kitchener's par
allel track from the Yaal to Johannes
burg, alongside the Netherlands Company's
line, is completed. The railway question
will remain the most important in South
Africa so long as big garrison is kept
in the Transvaal. Both toward Cape
Town and toward Natal there is only
single track along which all munitions and
supplies must be brought. The country
is utterly unable TO feed the industrial
population of the Rand, much less the
military population, which must always
be supplied with big reserve stores, in
view of a sudden resumption of fighting.
The universal demand for army reform
arising from Great BrItain's war expert
ences has provoked Sir Henry Campbsll-
Zimmerman, the last liberal War Minis
ter, to say last evening:
Officers should be better paid or be
obliged to spend less. Otherwise the ar
my viii remain the. playground for the
rich"
He did not care whether the officers
came froZ1 the ranks or from the out
side, but they ought to be able to live
on their pay. Then the officials would
find that the officers would devote them
selves seriously to their profession.
That there should be a democratic ar
my was the lesson of this war. The eX-
periences of correspondents accompanying
the army entirely confirms Campbell
Banncrman's views.

SUICIDE OF W. T. cAsGRAIN.
Prominent Western Civil Engineer
Takes His own Life.

CHICAGO, Sept CIV. T. Casgrain. a
civil engineer, who was for fifteen years in
the employ of the United States Govern
ment, committed suicide OF Thursday
night in a room at the L avita Hotel. Cas-
grain came from a prominent Canadian
family, two of his brothers having been
members of the Dominion Parliament. He
lived happily with wife and two chill
dren at Evanston and 49, supposed to
be in comfortable circumstances fnan-
cially.
The only motives that can be assigned
for the deed are financial embarrassment
or temporary insanity. Before turning
on the gas jet. the fumes of which caused
his death, Casgrain carefully closed the
window and stuffed the keyhole of the
door with paper.
Mr.. Casgrain was at one time one of
the best-known civil engineers in the
West. He had charge of many important
works, one of the most celebrated being
the construction OF the levee along the
Mississippi River from Warsaw to Quincy
ILL.,, distance Of forty miles. The work
was later tied up in litigation and the
matter is still pending in the United
States courts.

man, with jocular remark, called for
eulogy Of the Quaker City. Mr..
Choate arose and. with a bow, began
what promised to be magnificent en-
comium upon the glories of the city
of Penn. So magnificent, indeed, were
his compliments that feeling Of an.

BISHOP CRElGHToN's DISCOVERY

The Archbishop Of Canterbury, in

neglected. In the account Of one of
his speeches at the Church Congress he
is reported as saying: There is a GER
tain class of people who are like hens
when they have laid an egg. They form
their opinion with such difficulty, ap-
parently, and so seldom that when they
have formed one they go and crow to
all the world to show that they havo
done It," We would respectfully ad-
wise DIR. Creighton not to draw an H.
lustration from growing hens II hr
