1yDUsTRr4I COMBINATIONS.

John D. Rockefeller. president of the
Standard Oil company, and so rich that
he doesn't know what he is worth, has
sent Some very interesting replies to
questions concerning trusts put to him
by the Industrial commission Espec-
tally interesting is Mr. Rockefeler's
idea of what legislation there should
be regarding industrial combinations. :"
He would have: First, federal legisla-
ton under which corporations may be
created and regulated, If that be posi-
BILE. Second, in lieu thereof, State legis-
lation, as nearly uniform as possible,
to encourage. com binations of persons
and capital for the purpose of carrying
on industries. but permitting State SUI
pervision, not of character to hamper
industries, but sufficient to prevent
frauds upon the public.
1t will be generally admitted by those
who have carefully studied the situa-
ton that there isn't much hope in fed
eral legislation. Mr.. Rockefeller seems
to doubt it's efficacy. So does Governor
Nash of Ohio, who deals with the trust
question in his inaugural message. Cow
ernor Nash would rely on State legisla-
ton. He is of opinion that the State
has ample power to regulate these COM
binations and to prevent them from de-
ceiving the public with fictitious stock
Or from becoming monopolies. He calls
attention to the fact that they are
created BY the State and that they pos
the seal of the State. They are author
lied by the State to do business before
one dollar of the capital stock has been
paid in. Governor Nash regards this
as an unfortunate condition of affairs.
He believes the State, before it gives
these corporations a permit to do bus
mess, should require that all their cap
ital stock be paid in money and invest
ed in the business they propose to
transact. After this information is
furnished and the permit finally grant
ed the State should require annual re-
ports showing how much of the capital
stock has been paid, how the money is
invested what the assets are, the
amount of liabilities and the names OF !
the stockholders They should also be
certain intervals.
Governor Nash is a good lawyer and |
Mr.. Rockefeller is a good business man.
1t is interesting to notice that they !
Doth believe in State legislation con-
industrial combinations. /

CHAIN SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
he First One in New England Still to

The First One in New England Still to
be Seen at Newburyport.
The first bridge built across the Mer-
rimac river. at Newburyport, Mass,
was built by Timothy Palmer In 1872.
The structure consisted of two bridges
resting upon Deer Island. An arch of
100 feet span and 40 feet above high
water connected the island with the
mainland on one side, and several
spans did a like service upon the other.
In passing, it may be said that On
old legend relates that the island de-
rived its name from the fact that a
deer jumped upon it from the MAIN
land across the channel. Passengers
upon the old steamer Merrimac can
even now see a pair of antlers fasteh-
ed to tree trunk standing upon the
island little above the bridge, said
to be the antlers of the deer which
made the remarkable leap.
The present chain bridge replaced
the 100-foot arch in 1910, and was built
by John Templeman Of the District of
Columbia According to the tablet
upon one of the towers this was "the
first chain suspension bridge built in
New England,

More often some one woman enter

Inclination and income. The matinee
girl may merely give her friends
Turkish baths and chicken salad, or
there may be huge punches Of yiolets !
on tho pillows OF each divan, and an
epicurean luncheon served on the little
tables. Flowers have become quite a
feature OF the bath. There was a time
When Turkish bath was something
occult and mysterious, referred to only
In whispers, and INDUCED in with sem
sations of guilt but that time is past.
So, II woman devotes a certain morn
ing or afternoon each week to Turk

IT. and it is quite the proper thing to
send flowers to her at the bathrooms.
When she has been steamed and scour-
ed and plunged and massaged and
perfumed, she snuggles down upon a
couch. with her violets or roses and
tlozes and dreams in an Arabian

Taxation does more for her nerves than
all tonics that could be prescribed for
her.
According to the bath attendants,
however, the women think more about
their compilations than their nerves. A

do more for the complexion than all

4 MINT,

Wall street shuddered yesterday when
there was hint that the gay and re-
markable highfier known as Sugar
common" might not always give it's
owners II per cent. year in dividends.
This hint was contained in the annual
address of President Havemeyer, and
say what your directors will do in the
matter of declaration of dividends in
the future. Such declaration can be
made by them alone, and will be made
under the situations which will then
exist. / am very sure, however, that
when the duty of determining the
amount of dividend is imposed upon
them, they will take into careful con-
sideration the fact Of the reduction of
profits which has resulted from the
policy which has been pursued"
This is very careful language, and 1t
may not mean as much as some peo-
pie think it means. But it meant a,
great deal to those who were holding
Sugar yesterday for a rise. The stock
fell from 1870 IL to 1T H. and rallied
slightly from the low point What it
will do next no outsider" knows, and
it doesn't make any difference to those
who are outside enough. The episode
is only another Illustration of the dan
ger which the blind may be in when
those who can see are leading them.

THE PARIS FRAUD.

Already American tourists are
returning from Paris, and the
unanimous verdict ofahose most
competent to judge is that the ex-
position is a fraud in more than
one sense. The show itselfis said
to be vastly inferior to the Chi
cago exhibition, and all France is
leagued in systematized robbery
of visitors from abroad. The sta
tistician who calculated that the
exposition could be seen for $3.50,
including steamship passage both
ways, had nothing but conjecture
upon which to base his calcula-
ton. Many Americans who lent
a credulous ear to such statements
are stranded III Paris, and the list
will lengthen as the season ad-
vances. The reputation of Amer

victims of imposition. The French

it costs the American more than
any body else to see the show. II

for the extortion the case would
seem less aggravated; but unless

their manners at home when they
go travelling on a railroad train.
Not satisfied with getting the very
best seats, for which they can
scarcely be blamed, they often
appropriate twice and even four
times as much space as they pay
for, aud thus rob other passen-

When Black tells Brown that
Smith is the finest fellow in the
world, absolutely without flaw,
Brown, who has seen another side
of the over-praised mans charac-
ter, naturally demurs, and under
pressure of the occasion makes
revelations which he afterward re-
grets. Thus harm is done which
a judicious expression of opinion
would have prevented. 1t is this
OVERRIDING of things that leads to
difficulties, even as too much
study weakens your eyes or de-
stroys your health, preventing for
a time at least further acquire
ment Of knowledge. IN speech,
also, superlatives are too often
used, and they serve to awaken
distrust. Absolute perfection is
indeed rare, and exaggeration plays
a great part in modern life. We
think too much of our own I'M
portance, or talk too much of our
selves. We dwell too much upon
family or society, and lend fic-
titious value to absolutely empty
things. The use of superlative
words very often tends to destroy
the impression that we wish to
convey, simply because we overdo
things. A light curb, a little
thought regarding things of this
life, seems to accomplish the end
much better than going to any
extreme, however strongly you
may feel.

The Chautauqua.

Prof. Sanford has shown me the pro-
gram OF the sacred concert to be given
the first afternoon upon the opening of
the Chautauqua, which is Sunday, July
l. AS there are many who do not, with
good reason, approve of the so-called
sacred concerts given upon the Sab
bath, for the reason that the airs rem
dered are generally anything but sa-
cred, think it but fair to the Asso-
citation to state that every number up
on this program is strictly sacred.
There is not piece that could not
with perfect propriety be played in a
church: they are compositions of such
masters as Handel, Hadyn, Gounod
and others, some of the selections
being masterpieces of those composers.
This concert, as are all the exercises
