nail factory and the fact is interesting
because OF the increasing demand at
present for iron cut nails. which as
is known, were driven out OF the mar
ket by steel and later by wire nails

hope that the old factory which con-
tains one hundred and twenty-four
nail machines, may be started up
some day in the near future, and give
employment to large force OF men

At indianapolis a person purchases

ing this coupon to the company he is
issued book of five coupons, but he
must deposit 80 cents. He sells the
five coupons given him for 10 cents

the so cents invested. When these
five coupons have been returned to
the Office, each with so cents, his
cares are over, for he can then re-

The New York Laborers' Union
Protective Society has won the suit
brought against it by the Reform
Club of Masons and P1asterers' Lab
orers The latter Is Local Assembly
7G6 of the knights of Labor. 1t sued
for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with their
organization, and for the recovery of
$1,000 damages. 1t was claimed by
the plaintiffs that the Laborers' I'm
ion, which was organized prior to the
inception OF the Reform Club, insist
ed on the discharge of its members
from work on which they were en-
ployed and then endeavOred to COM
pei them to leave the Reform Club
and Join the Laborers' Union. These
allegations were denied by Alfred and
Charles Steckler, counsel for the So
ciety. Justice Leventritt has decided
that the defendants were not guilty
of conspiracy to deprive the plain
tiffs of their living. He said the de-
PENDANTS had right to protect them
selves by the means complained OF.
He also said the men had a perfect
right to refuse to work with men with
whom they did not affiliate.

Charles Herbert Allen has already done
much for his country. In his new of
fee he will be able to do more. His
new position will be no sinecure. The
salary which goes with the Porto Rican
gubernatorial honors is $4,000. Mr.. AL
len if he does his work as he has in
the past, will earn every penny of that
salary. The responsibilities are great
the duties are arduous. Porto Rico is
not to be reconstructed in a day.
About one year ago, when Mr.. Allen
was called up to the White House and
was tentatively questioned as to how
he would like to manipulate the des-
TIMES of Porto Rico, he did not fall
over himself with Joy. He had other
duties and interests, and he knew that
the governor of broken down Span
ish colony wouldn't exactly find time
heavy on his hands.
But Mr.. Allen is a public spirited
man. He tossed little personal inter-

He was already at the head of big
firm engaged in the manufacture of
wood personalities; he was president
of a bank; he was director of another
bank; he was interested in half dozen
paper factories; his business connec-
tons ramified out over half a CONT
nent But Mr.. Allen accepted the
Presidents offer. He is lover of hard
work, and it struck him that Porto
y Rico would be just the sort of gam
boiling ground he wanted.
There was only one place where
they were sorry to know that Mr. Allen
was going to be the Porto Rican gov
ernor, and that was in the Navy De-
partment. He had made himself very
necessary in that establishment. His
judgment was always good; his execu-
tive ability was always to be depended

traught island which Uncle Sam has
taken under his wing, and he isn't 60

That's his nature.
1t is announced that Mrs Allen, the
charming wife of the ex.assistant sec

At the Riverside all departments are

ment, which has only the lapp- weld fur
naces on, and from good authority 1t is
learned the entire plant will resume
this week. The new coke plant which
is being built promises to be one OF
the most complete plants in the valley
and will double the present capacity.
With the present rapid work this new
plant will be finished in six months
The plant is modern in every way, and
will also take care of the bi-products.
At the Belmont mill, the little plate
mill which has been idle for few days
on account of lack of orders, has re-

1t is thought that the new pumping

just as soon as there is a fall in the

Altogether there are to be six inlets
for the works.
During the coming summer extern

Improvements will greatly facilitate
the manufacture of special glue pro-

Is it Right For an Editor to Re-
commend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, C.
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any Of the
various proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet as a preyen-
tive of suffering we feel it duty
to say good word for Chamber
lain's Cole, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in or family
for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases %
dose of this remedy would save
hours Of suffering while physician
is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medi-
cine for cure. but we do believe
that if IL bottle of Cham berlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the in
ception Of an attack mnch suffer
ing might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of physi-
clan wouid not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For
