The Carnegie Consolidation

Happily the disagreements between
Mr.. Frick and the Carnegie Steel Com
pany have come to an end without the
litigation which, il protracted, might
have disturbed the magnificent econ
omy of production due to Mr.. Car
negie's genius. A giant corporation
has boon formed under the laws of the
State CT New Jersey, the laws of Penn
sylvania not permitting such an organ
ization, to include the score or more
properties in which Mr. Carnegie is
Interested. The separate properties
retain their Pennsylvania charters;
the Carnegie Steel Company itself
changing in Pennsylvania from a firm
% corporation, and the whole are
combined under New York charter,
with capital of S160,0O0,000. Mr..
Carnegie owns majority of the stock
)f the new corporation, Mr.. Frick Is a
itcckholder to the extent of $16,000,000
md the remainder of the stock is di-
yided among the partners in the sep
,rate properties, none of it being offer
I'd to>the public. Mr.. James B. Dill,
the Iawyer~in charge of the vastly
complicated details of this reorganiza-
ion, has drawn up a charter which
gives the Carnegie Company the right
o engage in such a number of indus
rles as would seem to completely Gov
n every operation necessary with the
making of steel and steel manufactures
rom the original extraction of the raw
material fro mthe earth to the mark
ting of the finished product. This al
ogether fortunate settlement of the
questions at issue in the Carnegie
steel Company will doubtless insure

Oil is Decreasing.

Hartford City, Ind. April 29.-The
monthly report of the Indiana oil field
for April, just issued, shows the antic-
ipated decline in operations. The past
winter has been hard one on produc-
ing wells, and during April operators
have been busy getting cid wells in
shape. In April there were 29S wells
or dry holes, the remainder showing a
daily output of 3,230 barrels, or an av-
erage of one well day of eighteen
barrels new production. This is a de-
crease in completed work Of sixteen
wells and Las barrels new production.
In new work under way there are 202
wells drilling and 142 rigs up and
building.

The Clark Case Wednesday.

Whether Senator Clark, of Montana,
will resign or fight to the last ditch for
his seat in the Senate, is matter of
which the Serator alone is cognizant.
His friends say he himself has not
made up his mind what to do. AT
present it is expected that the Clark
case will he called up In the Senate
next Wednesday. While many Sena-
tors have expected that he will resign.
and still think he may, the fact that
he has delayed so long causes them
new to doubt.
No Senator has yet announced that
he will champion Clark's case on the
floor of the Senate, and it is Assumed
that there will be no resistance to the
resolution declaring the seat vacant.
When the matter is called up for ac-
ticn the committee will answer any
questions that may be asked, but no
debate is contemplated unless some
champion of the Montana Senator
arises to contest the report of the
committee.
AS far as is generally known now.
there will be nothing to interfere with
an immediate vote when the resolu-
ton is. laid before the Senate. Clark's
resignation, of course, would put an
end to it all. srhe Montana man, is con-
templating visit to Europe this sum-
mer. but his friends are urging him to
go first of all to Montana and day his
plans for another contest before the

Queens Efforts to Make

OF this phase, which began by the un-
iversal wearing OF the shamrock, there
have been several striking example
this week. The lower house or the
York Convocaton composed CT sedate
clergy and laymen of the Church o!
England's northern diocese, has adopt
ed resolutions to put st. Patrick up
on the pages of the prayer books, from
which he was unaccOuntably missing
st. Andrews is there, but Erin's patron
saint was omitted when the reformer'
re-edited the liturgy.
On a par with this action is the agi-
tatlon in England over Irishmen's
rights to wear kits. Upon this mo-
mentous question Hon. William Gibson
son of Baron Ashbourne, Lord Chan
cellor OF ireland, has been lecturing to
large audiences in London, dressed in
the picturesque abbreviated garb gen
orally associated with Scotchmen. He
makes an impassioned plea for the di-
vine right of Hibernians to wear kits
Mr., Gibson Is a learned young man
who married a French woman and
consistently resides in England.
Now there is talk of making the
new Irish guards brigade masquerade
in kills, though the reports which
have come from South Africa telling
OF the suffering of the bare-legged
Hlghlanders and OF the sorrows which
are attached to this out-of-date uni
form are recent enough to Danish the
suggestion into the long list OF foolish
sbsurditles. II is probable that the
War Office will take that view.

sonal wishes, as many as possible of

view OF the eondlticns that exist in

can scarcely be considered anything
but another instance on the part of
majority of England's people of their
complete failure to grasp the nature
OF Ireland's needs, however well
meant may be these outward skin

will be made in this city this summer
which will afford harmless pleasure

sories of many-hued electric lights,
With graceful palms bending before
every breeze with sweet music from
L stringed orchestra, with ice cream,
cooling drinks of which intoxicants
form no part, and light refreshments at

that many will be attracted to listen

is scheduled for two weeks from to-
night, BY the broad stairways or by

Easy seats will be provided; on all
sides will be big potted palms and

Each Saturday night concert of
popular music will be given; when
necessary an overflow meeting will be
held in the large hall in the building.

Birds Home,xard Bound.

The spring migration OF birds is the
subject Of page in the May. ST Mich
oias. A wonderful thing Is happen
ing now, the writer says A winged
army hundreds of miles long is NOV
ing north right over our heads. 1t
travels under cover of night, so that,
unless we listen to the calls of the reg
iments, or turn our telescopes to the
moon and see them, as black speeks,
crossing its bright face, or else go to
lighthouse tower and watch for them
to come to the light, we will know
nothing about the advance of the main
army. ES
But when we go early to the fields
and woods, we get exciting hints of
what is happening in the dark.
squads of feather soldiers, net there
the evening before, surprise us at ev-
cry turn. Some of them are stopping
only for the day to get food and rest
to enable them to go on their journey
again at night; but some of them have
come to stay, for they got back to
their old homes where they built their
nests last year.
1t is SO exciting to feel the country
all filling up again with life and song,
so good to see our old friends back,
and to discover new ones with them.
that we want to ask each bird hun
dred questions. Where did this army
start from? How did the leaders
know the way home? How did they
travel the thousands of miles they had
to? 1t makes us want to know every
thing there is to know about this
wonderful movement of the birds. call
ed migration.
great many of the birds are ccm-
ing back from Central America, some
as far as from southern Brazil in
South America. The question is, How
do they travel so far without getting
lost? There are no railroads or steam
ship lines for them, but they have
roads that serve them just as well.
Some of them follow the coast lines
north others keep near to the great
ranges of mountains and river valleys
that run generally northward and
southwark.
They fly so high-from one to three
miles aboe the earth-that they can
see as well as we could from balloon
II a mountain-top, better than we
could for their eyes are sharper than
ours. They can see probably a hund-
red miles about. Then the old birds
cad the way for the young to follow,
and as the army probably straggles
along for hundreds of miles, the birds
are always within hearing of each
other, so they are not very likely to
get lost.
From the 1st to the Goth of May most
Of the birds come back to the Middle
Eeastern States. and you will need to
90 out every day and keep a sharp
ookout not to miss any of them.

LONDON IN 1784.
There Were Many HiRhwaymen and FOOtpnds on the Road Brass
 Knockers Stolen.

In 17S4 NJ La Combe published book, entitled "A Picture of London" in which inter alia he says: ''The high roads 30 or 40 miles round London are filled with armed highwaymen and footpaGs." This was then pretty true, though the expression filled" is some what of an exaggeration. The medical student of 40 or 50 years ago seems to have been anticipated in 17s4, for NJ. La Combe tells us that ''the brass knockers of doors. which cost from l2 to 15 shillings. are stolen at night if the maid forgets to unscrew them" "a precaution which seems to have gone out of fashion. The arrival of the mails.'' our author says, lis un- certain at all times of the year. Per sons who frequently receive letters should recommend their correspond ents not 10 insert loose papers, nor to put the letters in covers, because the tax is sometimes treble, and always arbitrary, though in a free country, But rapacity and injustice are the dei- ties of the English"
 VI. La COmbe does not give us flat tering character. An Englishman, ' he says. considers a foreigner as an enemy. whom he dares not offend open ly. but whose society he fears; and he attaches himself to no one" Perhaps il was so in 17S4. but such feelings have nearly died out-at least among edu- eated people. NJ. La Combe, in another part Of his book, exclaims: How are you changed. LOhdOners, Your women are become bold. imperious and expen- siye. Bankrupts and beggars, coiners, spies and infOrmers. robbers and pick pockets abound; the baker mixes alum in his bread; the brewer puts opium and copper filings in his beer; the milk woman spells her milk with snails. .''- Gentleman's Magazine.

A vuIture as n Trick Bird.

To teach a big black vulture as many tricks as a poodle has been the diver, sion of an English collector of uncanny pets. This monster bird, which has 8 fine sense of humor, will execute at the word of command an uncouth dance> using its huge wings to sup plement the motions of its feet-now trailing them on the ground, now GOV ering it's head with them, and anon Tapping them lugubriously. But the vulture's most engaging accomplish ment is to beg for food. When he de sires a choice shinbone he scorns to perform the undignified antics of a poodle, but prostrates himself with true oriental humility, dropping in every quill and resting the top of his bald head on the ground. This self aDasenent is so complete that it has a nobility all its own. The birds mas ter is greatly attached to it, among other reasons because the great lon gevity of its species suggests the thought that it may have taken part in the great migration inspired by the mortality among Russian Norses at Sebastopol. Moreover, it is relative of the condor of the Andes, largest of all birds.-N. '. World.
