AN OPENING IN EUROPE.
Consul Advocates Establishment OF
American Department
Stores Aboard.

Vice Consul General Hauauer in an
official report 10 the state department
from Frankfort. Germany. advocates
the establishment of American depart
ment stores abroad as means of in
creasing the export trade of this coun-
try.
I'm Germany and most other CON
tinental countries" he vice consul
saws, There are large retail ware
houses and stores which sell different
lines of dry goods aud clothing for fe-
male wear. Department stores on the
order of our own. containing almost
everything for human needs, are hard
ly known here. Consequently one finds
in European city hundreds of retail
stores, carrying small stocks and sell
ing articles at high prices.
Il think department stores would
find conditions more favorable here
than at home in amount of sales and
return on the capital invested. but the
Importance of the plan consists in the
immense impetus they would give TO
the sale of American specialties--
household articles of all kinds. cloth.
ing, kitchen and iron ware. small ma
chimes. tools and instruments. toys,
carriages and vehicles. office and dwell
ing furniture. fruits and meat, etc.
IL am confident that such a concern
established in Frankfort could within
few years sell American specialties
alone to an amount of $4,000 900 to 81 :
00o,OO0 annually and distribute further
quantities by giving agencies to lead
ing dealers of interior towns and
cities. In shoes alone it could trans
act large trade. Our manufacturers
need then but offer their products ia
the home purchasing Office in order 10
do a foreign trade"

RAILROAD WRECKS.
Thomas A. Scott Used to Handle
Them without Gloves.

"When that wonderful railroad gen.
ius, the late Thomas \. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous"
said an old railroad man. Scott was
essentially man of action. For ex.
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line IL freight wreck that piled up
scores Of cars in Il confused heap in IL
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
"The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
two weeks. At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after survey
of the wreck sent for great quantity
of coal oil, with which he had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off. and the god Of fire soon
removed all trace Of it, and traffic was
resumed on the line in "a hours.
%. "A bridge fell. and it was feared a
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question Of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today railroading is reduced to such a
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that.
"The last instance | remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown food in 1889, think it was.
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use of side lines, was one of the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there, he took full control, the division
superintendents from all over the line
were summoned, and a particular task
was given to each one to do instantly
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures
however, and those men, while they

This is Testimony From Every

Can this be so? Is this true? Are
the facts as stated? These are ques-

which claim to cure it. Whatever the

NEW PLAN IN FRANCE.
ernment for the settlement of
Industrial Disputes,

A dispatch to the New York Times
from Paris says: \ ministerial order
of interest to Americans now. in view
of the strikes in Pennsylvania. has Just
been issued by the French minister of
commerce, This decree creates bodies
10 be known as labor councils, whose
purpose it viii be to settle disputes be-
tween labor and capital.
The councils are to consist of an
equal number OF workmen and en-
p!oyers, but the workmen must belong
to the recognized labor unions.
This last clause is likely TO create diff
fculties. as the majority of French la
borers do not belong T o unions. If this
defect can be overcome il is believed
that these councils provide ready
means of settlement of labor disputes,
thus avoiding strikes.

Cotton Can Again RightfuIly Lay
Claim to the Title
of King.

Cotton is again king" in the ex-
port record of the United States. Dol
lar wheat in 1898 brought the exporta-
tion of breadstuffs far above the cot
ton, but ten-cent cotton in 1900 brings
that agricultural product again into
first place in the record of exports
by single articles. The seven months
ending with July, 1909, shows an ex-
portationof cotton amounting to $142,-
576,097, while of breadstuffs the total
expectation during the same period
was $13s.3O4529. that of provisions
$106, SOS. $50, and that of mineral oil, the
next largest item. S39, ,49S,151. The gen.
eral group. manufactures" is larger
than that of cotton alone, but no sim
gle item or even the group of bread
stuffs,' which includes. wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, etc, equals cotton
during the seven months ending with
July, 1900.
Cotton expectations and movements
are measured usually by what is
termed the cotton year" which ends
with the month of August. The bu-
reau of statistics has just received the
record of August expectations and is
thus able to make up the figures for
the cotton year" and compare them
with those of the preceding year. These
reports. which are of a preliminary ma
ture. include about 9s per cent. of the
total exports of cotton, and as the COM
parison of the present year is made
with similar reportso of preceding years
the relative showing for the various
years is a fair one.
A study of the expectation of cotton
supplied by these figures shows that
the exports of raw cotton during the
cotton year ending with August, 1900,
are greater in value than in any pre-
ceding cotton year since 1892, and the
average price per pound greater than
on any occasion since 1898, except in
the year 1896.

NEW BATTLE BEING WAGED.
Another Attempt 10 Prove Heirship
TO Part of the BiR A. II. Stew
art Estate.

A fresh battle for the millions left
by A. I. Stewart is 10 be commenced in
the supreme court this fall by prom
inent lawyers, who have been collect
ing evidence for more than three wears.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in gathering information on both sides
OF the Atlantic, and the attorneys as
sert that they have overwhel lining
proof to establish the kinship of their
client to the dead millionaire.
Thepetition for the probate OF the Will
of \. T. Stewart declared that he had
no heirs, and il was the failure o prove
the falsity of this statement that re-
suited in the setting aside by the courts
nf the Claims made by previous con-
testants. In the coming litigation,
however, there will figure prominently
an autograph letter of A. T. Stewart,
the authenticity of which, it is claimed
is established by unquestionabIe evil
dence, in which he acknowledged the
kinship of certain nephew several
years before his death. This nephew.
though of advanced age. is ST i'll hale and
hearty and will be one of many wit
nesses called.
No attempt will be made to get hold
of the property which went to the
widow. but they will strive to get that
which went to Judge Hilton.

WAR PROGRAM
Suggested by Mr.. Bryan for the Manage.
ment Of the Philippines.

Mr.. Bryan in his speech of accept
ance, announced that as soon as he
was inaugurated, he would convene an
extraordinary session of congress, in
order to effect a transformation scene
in the Philippines:
i. stable form of Government
no republican FORM" notice.
2. Independence.
8. Protectorate.
Those who vote for this bill will say
that we are to stay in the Philippines
as protectors, world without end, so be
it.
Anybody who wants to get the Uni
ted States into the job of keeping
feet and army in the Asiatic islands,
of the Pacific to set up and maintain
Bryan protectorate of the Philippines
for the Filipinos' sake, can fix that by
voting for Bryan.
In his letter of acceptance he has
gone still further, and says, mo Euro
pean nation would be willing to pro-
woke war with us to obtain posses
sion of the islands"
Here is a man who has the presump-
tion to believe that he will in a few
weeks be elected president of the Uni
ted States, announcing that, when we
give up our treaty title and all legal
authority in the Philippines, We shall
go on protecting the government we
have transmitted and Aguinaldo is as
good as named as the man to start
with a dictatorship-"stab form"
We are to protect the islands from
outside interference" After we are
ourselves outsiders. See,
Mr.. Bryan has two pleas for this, the
Cuba" and also to pay the debt we
owe our "allies" before they were or
dered from Washington to attack our
army at Manila, and were whipped.
Whipping them, according to Mr..
Bryan's platform was criminal aggres-
sion. There is neither pertinence nor
truth in either of the assigned reasons
for a protectorate. Both are with out
law, usage, tradition or history, to JUS
tify them.
Bryan's policy would make Ameri-
cans outsiders" and then in order our
soldiers and sailors to protect the Fill
pinos against other outsiders" Our
interference as outsiders with others
also outside and interfering, would be
to put our country into trap and pull
the trigger of the dead-fall.
Mr.. Bryan has the unparalleled in
sensibilty to the gravity of the situa-
ton. to, with light heart ana frivol-
Gus carelessness of phrase, unless he
intends TO be insulting TO other ma
tions, to plunge in9o the most danger
Gus foreign complication, that for
generation has appeared in the worlds
affairs; and to expressly tell Euro
pean nations" that no one of them
would be willing to Provoke war with
us to possess the Philippines, if we
announce an outside prctcctorate.

THE STAFF OF LIFE.
Bread Seems to De Falling In Favor
ns an Article of Diet.


as Rn Article of Diet.
II look upon bread as an article of
food destined to be completely abolish
ed before many years" said New
York doctor, for che number of per-
sons who are willingly giving up the
use of 1t increases every year. The ma
jority of them do this on the advice of
their physicians, who find more ground
for recommending abstinence from
bread as they see the results that such
q course of treatment has on their pa
tients.
For nearly all forms OF dyspepsia,
gout. rheumatism and kindred all
ments the patient is first told to shun
bread unless il be submitted to certain
preparation and be taken only in GER
tain forms. The great increase in the
number of hygienc foods that have
been put upon the market and the al
most invariable success Of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta-
bic substitute for bread and other
starchy foods are other indications In
the change of the public feeling toward
taken under all circumstances.
Some years ago man wrote book
devoted chiefly to exposing to the
world the harmful qualities of bread.
Persons at that time thought he was a
crank. ard little attention was paid to
his very sound utterances on the sub
ject But his opinions are now re-ech-
oed by most physicians, and the great
army Of abstainers from bread gathers
recruits every day. The revolt against
such well established institution Is
naturally a little bit slow. But bread
Is destined to be ultimately Stunned
even more than 1t Is today. and this de-
struction Of tradition that has lasted
centuries is already well under way.
Most of its force comes from the COM
plete satisfaction of the persons who
do give up bread entirely. They are al
ways the most enthusiastic advocates
of the new theory on the subject
