Revival of Sailing Vessels In the ca
,ryinR Trade,

Revival of Sailing Vessels In the Car.
,ryins Trade.
Are We coming once more to day OF
tall spars. bellying sails and really
truly" Jack tars instead of machinists
and freight handlers in the foreign
trade? asks the Savannah News. That
ID the prediction that is freely made at
the Philadelphia maritime exchange.
Within few years. 1t is believed. the
tramp steamship will have virtually
disappeared from the oriental carrying
trade and its place will be taken by
the square rigger Of towering masts
and may cordage. Already, indeed.
the movement from steam to sail is
said to be under way. That far-seeins
corporation, the Standard Oil COM
pany. has for year or two been secur-
Ing desirable sailing ships for its trade
with the east until at present 1t has
quite considerable neet. As illustrat.
Ing how the prices Of ships have gone
up. two years ago the American clip
per Eureka, in good condition. was sold
for 100000. She was transformed into
. barge. A vessel Of similar tonnage
and in no better condition was sold re-
Gently for $4,000.
The reason for the change OF motive
power Is not far to seek. II lies in the
increasing difficulty of securing coal at
Algiers. Port Said, Colombo and other
way stations to the orient. At present
the prices Of coal are SO high as to be
almost prohibitive and ships leaving
Philadelphia or New York for China
are compelled to sacrifice from 1,00O to
1900 tons of carrying capacity to their
coal supplies. Heretofore, thay have
taken on only 500 tons of coal or
enough to carry them from one coaling
station to another. Thus freight room
was economical. But with coalina
prices soaring and the stocks at the
stations being only sufficient for the
regular liners and the warships, the
freighters are compelled to change
their plans. British shipping mer-
chants have taken steps to anticlpat,
this coal question by changing many
Of their ships in the China and Japan
trade to oil burners.

stimulation of Labels.
Brent Good. president OF the Carter Mod
icine Company. yesterday received tele-
gram from his lawye ers in Chicago, Messrs.
Lowden, Estabrook Il Davis, informing him
that final injunction, with costs, had been
granted against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes speciality
Of manufacturing labels, boxes, etc, for
druggists. The Carter Company has been
following them through the courts for two
years on the complaint that tho label COM
pany was making simulatlons Of tho labels
Of Carter's Little Liver Pills. They have
now obtained final injunction with costs,
aud the costs are very large, as the case has
bsen submitted to a Master In Chancery for
final accounting.
The Carter Medicine Company has been
the first and only one to prosecute printers
or engravers who have prepared such labels
and wrappers. 1t marks new departure
in infringement cases, and their victory is
one of great Importance to the whole pro.

SPIES IN WAR TIMES.
MILITARY MEN WHO PRY INTO
SECRETS.
Are Generally brave Lot Of Men Who
Sacrifice Their Personal Feelings
and Honor for Their Country's

There are hundreds Of men in Eu-
rope, said retired officer of long ex-
perience in intelligence work. who
make an excellent living by prying
into the secrets Of war developments OF
other countries, and they are such ex-
perts in disguises and such past mas.
ters In artifices and cautions that 1t is
one Of the most difficult things in the
world to detect them. The following
are several incidents which have come
under his personal observations. A
short time ago an invalid German
made his appearance at Gibraltar, arm
ed with the best OF credentials and in
Productions. He had come in search
Of health. and certainly his appearance
lent plauslbility to his story. He was
singularly charming man and was
entertained by some Of the best people
In the place. After little time he ap-
piled for permission to take the air
on top of the Rock; and. although this
Is against the regulations, an exception
was made in favor Of such harmless
and interesting invalid. After time
the genial German disappeared and
took with him budget OF plans and
photographs of the English defenses.
which are now In the archives of a
rival nation. Who, again. would look
for dangerous spy in charwoman?
And yet no spy ever did more useful
work for France than an asthmatic old
lady whose duty 1t was to sweep the
x,f hn at,,l Dnr
This enterprising old lady was always
at her work at O'Clock in the morn
ing, and her first duty was to empty all
the waste paper baskets and coat pock-
cts, to ransack drawers and annex any
used pieces of blotting paper. The spoil
VAS cunningly slowed away in a re-
ceptacle in her dress, and few hours
later was regularly handed over to
a French spy. in whose pay she was.
One Of the cleverest spies OF recent
years was undoubtedly an ex-Prussian
lieutenant. whom we will call Herr
L. His duty was to discover as many
of the secrets of the French war office
as possible. and for many years he
spent most of his time in France.
adopting wide range of clever dis
suises to disarm suspicion. At one
time he would be an American tourist.
at another an Italian. an Alsatian or a
Russian; for. like all successful spies,
he was an expert linguist and actor,
Eight years ago Herr l. was anxious
to witness the maneuvers of the
French army, and TO compass this he
assumed the uniform OF an artillery
regiment, at that time stationed some
hundreds of miles from the scene of
the maneuvers. In this character he
was admitted within the French lines,
was entertained by the French officers
and every facility was given him for
witnessing the movements of the army.
1t is needless to say that. under such
favorable conditions. he collected
much useful information and not few
secrets which were very welcome to
his employers. At another time Herr
L. secured an engagement as coach
man for French official. whose duty
1t was to inspect military roads ana
defenses, and he accompanied his mas
ter on long tours OF inspection. which
furnished some very valuable additions
to the secret service records OF Ger

PATROLS on Russian Railroads.

The Transsiberian railroad is very
closely guarded, the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo-
Die they carry on their trains. The
road is divided into sections of one
yerst, or five-eighths of q mile. In
neat little log house, usually in gar
den, live the guard and his people. The
average family is wife and five tow
headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with view to meeting the demands
of increasing families. The guard or a
member of his family must patrol his
section night and day. He steps to the
side of the track as the train ap-
proaches and after it has passed steps
back into the middle of the track, holds
a small green flag in the air. at night a
lantern, and stands like a statue until
the train has entered the next section
Several guards do duty in the heavy
curves. and frequently they are only q
few hundred feet apart.
Much of the track patrolling Is done
by women, who have proved fully as
reliable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefooted, and as they
stand on the track holding the flag
aloft, a Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts, they are fine sub
jects for a sculptor after a unique mod
