TO SPEND MILLIONS.
North German Lloyd Steamship Com-
pnny to Have Finest Steamship
Terminal in World.

Hoboken is to be again the home of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company, and at cost of several mil
lion dollars what is promised as "the
finest steamship terminal in the
world" will be constructed. Action
taken by the New Jersey state board
of riparian commissioners removes
the last serious difficulty, and with
the formal approval of their action
by the attorney general the plans now
being prepared will at once be put
into execution. While the desirabiity
of terminal on the New York side
of the river was appreciated, the diff
ficulty of finding a suitable water
frontage for its dockage and piers
made it impossible to overlook the adj
vantage of more room on the Ho,
bokcn side. A duplication of the four
docks and piers destroyed in the July
disaster would not at ell meet the re-
quirements for the company's trans
Atlantic fleet as augmented by the
two monster liners now in course of
construction at the Vulcan iron
works, Stettin. Each of these vessels
will require a berth more roomy than
even the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
The larger, Kaiser Wilhelm H., is to
have beam of 20 feet, while the
length, FOG feet, is greater than that
of any vessel now af1oat.

THE REAppoRT1oNMENr.
Census Figures to he Used in Fixing
Representation of the States
in Congress.

Again attention is being given the
congressional reapportionment, and
Director of the Census Merriam called
at the white house and advised the
president that the figures of the total
population of the United States are in
such shape as to be at the disposal of
congress when it reconvenes Under
the law the reapportionment follow
ing the twelfth census must become
operative in 1903. the first election on
the new basis being held in November,
1902. Congress will pass reappor-
tionment act. and then it will be
necessary for the state legislatures to
rearrange their congressional dis
tricts in time for the next election.
just what basis congress will adopt
Is not known. but it is certain that
the ratio will be increased oyer the
present rate of 173,901. Should con-
gress place the ratio at 100000 the
house would stand in numbers as now,
but some of the states. would lose in
representation. At $4,000 it is esti-
mated that no state would lose any
representation, and the membership
of the house would be increased con-
siderably. With 100000 as the basis,
however, there would be a gain of
about IS seats, but Maine, Virginia,
Nebraska and Kansas would lose rep
resentation.
Congress began with ratio of one
representative to every 10000 inhab-
itants, giving a total of 65 members.
This was increased under each CEN
sus until the tenth census caused the
representation to be fixed at one
member for every 151,ol1 inhabitants,
thus giving 325 members in the house.
The eleventh census ran the number
up to 173.9O1 and gave 357 members.

CHRYSANTHEMUM THE RAGE.
Typical Flower of Japan Is Trium-
phnnt in Parisinn
Circles.

There is one flower of autumn
which is triumphant in Paris in
every sense just now-the chrysan-
themum. The chrysanthemum is the
typical flower of Japan. The pres
ence in Paris of greater number of
natives of the rising sun than any
European capital has hitherto con-
tanned at any one time has procured
for us at the japanese pavilion in the
exposition the delights of festival
delicate, exquisite in taste-the fes-
tival of the chrysanthemum.
Marvellous flowers were displayed,
and one branch with more than 100
flowers upon it was presented to Nine.
Loubet, who was very much pleased
with this far eastern tribute.
1t appears that, owing to their size
and weight, these flowers are eXclud-
ed from the feminine toilet. Sarah
Bernhard was the first, some years
ago, in Sardou's drama, "Gismonda,"
to hit upon the idea of wearing as her
sole coiffure two enormous mauve-
colored flowers, which she stuck one
above each ear. There was a general
cry of astonishment and admiration
when she appeared upon the stage,
and for a time the coiffure la Gis-
monda was all the rage. Then society
entered its hostile decree.

Peculiar Character.

Chicago had a strange visitor recent
ly. Some people would say the city
had entertained an angel unawares.
Others would express theo opinion
that the most foolish crank on record
had blundered into town. Whatever
the conclusion, the story of James
Eads How and his visit is stranger
than any romance,
How is not tramp though he walks
all over the country, and walked into
Chicago from Hammond, Ind. He is
not a beggar, though when he reached
the city he had no idea where his next
meal was to come from, and less con-
Germ. He Is not an outcast, his family,
one Of the best and weaHhiest in st.
Louis, seeing him only at long inter
walls, when he happens to drift into
the city at the other end of the big
bridge.
When How reached Chicago he was
practically penniless, though by simply
raising his finger he could take pos
session of comfortable fortune OF
100000 left him by his father, and
which is still awaiting his order in St
Louis. This money How will not
touch. 81 did not earn that money
he says, therefore it is not mine, ant
j shall never touch it,"

GOAT GIVEN sEIDLITz POWDER
Negroes to Believe 1t Is
the Devil.

Boys at Macon, Mo-, the other day
fed the contents of box of seidlitz
powders to goat belonging to fam
lily which had recently moved into the
neighborhood. Then, taking it for
granted that he was thirsty, they led
BILLY" to nearby trough and per-
mitted him to drink heartily. Soon
the tizzing began, and at last view the
goat was tearing down the street to-
ward the woods at reckless pace.
Some negroes living several miles out
of town claim to have seen Old Nick
himself, as they verify believed, rush
ing along the road in broad daylight.
His majesty resembled an enormous
goat, they said, but they recognized
him as the devil because he was spit
ting fire and birthstone.

Bos1oN's BUSIEST WOMAN.
She Manages Her Real Estate Personally
and Has Made $3.50, 900.

Boston has among its citizens the
busiest woman in this country If her
wealth and freedom from the necessity
of doing work in which she takes so
much satisfaction be considered. She
is worth a quarter of a million OF dol
lars, and made the money recognizing
the direction that business in certain
part of the city was going to take, says
the New York Sun"
Boylston street was a residential
thoroughfare when she first became ac-
quainted with it. After a while the
idea took possession of here that busi-
ness was coming in that direction. She
had acquired money enough to become
the owner of house, and she decided
to convert it into a shop. She went to
see the carpenters and builders, and
bought every piece Of woodwork and
glass that was required in making the
change from an old-fashioned home to
a rev-fashioned shop. She inspected
the work as it progressed, and paid off
the men every Saturday night as they
filed through her kitchen.

MARKET STEADY
And There Were no Material Changes In
Prices.
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
New York, Dec. 5.--Today's market
somewhat reversed the Speculative po-
sition of yesterday The early part
of The day showed a continuance of the
reactionary tendency. London took
its cue from the depression here yester-
day and sold Americans, the offerings
from that source amounting to some
$4,000 shares. Professional traders
also continued bearish and sold stocks
short, but it became obvious during
the course of the day that there was no
urgent pressure to liquldate.
The decline of prices brought no
large offerings and the bears were dis
inclined on this account to pursue
their campaign. Consequently they
EcUght to cover their contracts and
turned the market upwards. The re-
covery was helped by strength in a
few stocks, but whether the upward
course of prices late in the day was due
generally to any other cause than tax
ing bear profits on short sales, which
were invited by yesterdays weakness,
remains to be seen.
Business was better sustained in
bonds than in stocks, and some import
ant gains wereshown, but there were
also reactions in other points. :

A Million Slain.

For an invading force to lose 1,000,-
900 in killed alone and still continue its
investment of the place attacked may
seem incredible, but it is a fact that
certainly applies to the almost count
less swarms OF rats that for some
time have resisted the united efforts
of the government and municipal
authorities at Sydney.
To these terrible little enemies no
quarter is given; each one captured
alive is put TO death and cremated.
And yet for tens of thousands thus de-
stroyed tens of thousands are found
to the front or lying concealed within
their shelters.
For some time four cents head was
given for everv rat killed in the
New South Wales capital on proof of
its having been burnt, but the price
has now advanced to twelve cents each
in a supreme though costly effort to
overcome so destructive a foe.
The greatest difficulty in contcnding
against the rats attacks is experienced
from their naval brigade-constantly
reinforced as it is by contingents from
the ships arriving and joining the
marine detachments, that are in force
at the wharves, jetties and dock ware
houses.
The list of killed still goes on in this
remarkable war of people against
vermin, and soon there will have been
in the principal Of Australias cite:
more than 100000 raus slain.

When the undertaking had turned
out according to her wishes after some
delay and trying waiting, she got an
other house and had that turned into
smart shops with plate glass windows
and every other feature to attract the
merchant who wanted the best quar-
ters and could afford to pay for them.
She got long lease to a third house
after a while. and altered that just as
she had the oohers, paying the same
close attention to the practical side of
the work.
When all these changes were made,
she did not hire janitor to look after
her buildings nor did she hand over
the management Of them to firm of
real estate dealers. She remained in
charge so practically that to this day
nobody can control them but herself,
She scrubs the stairways herself, she
washes the windows and she has car

Every detail of the management of
the property comes under her personal
control. She began to take this perso-
nal charge of her property when her
first house was altered into a business
building, and economy was her first
object. Later, she continued the work
in the same way because she found it
interesting and now that her property
is valued at nearly a quarter of mil
lion dollars, chiefly as a result of this
industry, she finds nothing eXtraordi-
nary in the fact that she should con-
tinue to work so hard.
There is no trace of the miser in her
conduct, and there are many instances
of her generosity, which Is especially
likely to show itself toward her own
sex. So there is no question of her
parslmony, in spite of the way in
which she lives. Sometimes her gen.
erosity to women in business has
proved an expense to her, although
she is proud of the fact that since the
day she first went into the real estate
business, nobody has lost a cent
through her.
