4 SIIN OE TILE Y'IM EH.

The great dry goods house of Hood
 Foulkrod & Co.,, Philadelphia, has gone
 out of business, and the event is sign
 of the times. This house has had an
 honorable existence for seventy five
 years Weathering in that period three
 severe panics which wrecked many
 strong houses. The house now closes
 because the modern practice of the
 great department stores in buying di-
 rect from manufacturers and their agents has so greatly narrowed the field of the jobber. It is only as the country dealers and the smaller stores in cities and towns still require the services of wholesale houses as distributing agents that circumscribed field is left for the jobbers. This Philadelphia firm em- ployed about one hundred salesmen, most of whom have found places in that city or New York. Speaking of the changed trade conditions, one who Is familiar with the situation says: The day of the dry goods jobber, just as of the jobber in hardware and in other lines, is past, and the retail dealer has come to take his place. In the old days the manufacturer would sell, say, one hundred cases of goods to the jobber or and the latter would dis tribute these, dozen here a score else. among perhaps ten or twenty retail stores. But this time has gone by. Our retailers to-day think nothing of buying one hundred cases of goods themselves, and why should they go to the jobber when they can make more profitable bargain direct with the This fact explains at once the decline of the wholesale houses and the advance of the retail dealer.
 Times and customs change, and it Is not always possible to change with them so as to keep up with the process ;iOn

JIIM MINDEPEN ENEE.

All the fuss over MT. Lawson's 1nde- pendence seems to be coming to very lame and impotent conclusion. It has not been discovered that she is fast enough to be cup defender, And now the indications are that she will soon be broken up. There was some talk that she would have another trial With the Columbia and the Constitution on August "A, but this will not happen, and her owner has given orders to keep her in racing trim until September 3, and if no yacht can be found to race against her by that time she is to be broken up.
 So will go much hope and much mon- ey. Mr. Lawson and those acting with him haven't had much return for their pains and expenditure, but such is life, sometimes.

EDUCATION OF ITALY's KING.

| Professor Morandi, Principal Instruc- | tor of the University of Rome, Tells of This
 | A book of exceptional interest, and
 which is attracting wide attention, has | just been published in Italy. It is by | Signor Morandi, professor of Italian lit ] erature at the University of Rome, and
 it tells how the present king of Italy
 was educated. Signor Morandi having
 been for some years the monarch's | principal instructor,
 "On the first day when went to the | Quirinal," says the author. T met Col onel Oslo, the princes tutor, and he 1 told me that I should treat him as would treat any other pupil, neither | showing him any undue respect or | any indulgence. even in trifing mat | ters. For example, if anything was l needed during the lesson, it was the prince who should rise and get 1t and not l. and, If book or anything else were to fall from the table, 1t was he who should pick it up. I was then in- troduced to the prince, and, the first
 lesson began. Before it was over I was satisfied that my pupil was en- dowed with an alert, prudent and un- usually studious mind"
 That evening Queen Margharita hav-
 ing asked him how lie liked his new
 teacher, the prince, who was then hard
 ly twelve, replied gravely: "He seems
 to be a clever man, but I can not be
 certain until I have received several
 more lessons from him.
 The prince, says Professor Morandi,
 rose at six o'clock every morning, both
 in winter and summer, after which he
 took bath and light breakfast and then went to study Once or twice during a winter he would be loath to leave his warm bed at that hour, but on such occasions Colonel Oslo never failed to appear at his bedside and to inform him that he would get no
 breakfast for several hours if he did not rise immediately. After his lessons were over the prince spent an hour on horseback and then devoted considera- ble time to athletic exercises.
 Now and then" says his former in- structor, 'the prince showed little in- terest in his studies, but Colonel Osio was always on hand, and he never he's itated to reprimand him severely. Your highness,' I heard him say once, should remember that a kings son, If he is blockhead, will remain block head, for in this respect there is no difference between him and the son of shoemaker After he had said these words the colonel strode out of the room and, wishing to console my pu- pil, 1 remarked that his tutor was act ing solely for his good to which he re- piled, gravely, T know it. "
 At times the prince suffered severely from pains in the head, and one day, when they were especially violent, Pro- lessor Monandi suggested to Colonel Oslo that the horseback exercise be omitted. The colonel, however replied, | If battle were to be fought to-day | do you think that a pain in the head ought to prevent the prince from ap- l bearing on horseback at the head of | his troops?" And the suffering prince | rode out that day as usual.
 Under Professor Morandi and his i other instructors Prince Victor worked |

BROTHER WDEN ENDOWED.

Government by injunction" has hit Thomas Bawden of Detroit, and 1t has
 hit him hard. Brother Bawden is an enthusiastic advocate of the single tax. So enthusiastic is he that he has been in the habit of nightly occupying with his horse and wagon portion of what is known as the Campus Martins in Detroit, where he would harangue the people, to the annoyance of others who desired to use the highway, and of the proprietors of business houses in the vicinity. He will do so no more ex- cept at his peril, local court having enjoined his performance. Bawden claimed that interference with him was denial of the guaranteed right of free speech, but the court tells him that there are many other guaranteed rights, and one right is as great as the other. "The right to express your opinions is one thing and the right to express them in place and at time when they an- noy others whose rights are as great as yours is another thing. The right to free speech has always been protected by the courts. The right to annoy, dis turb or inJure other peoples business by the exercise of free speech has uni formly been enjoined by the courts. Whether it be the right of free speech, or any other right; whether exercised upon the public streets or upon your own property, these rights must be ex- ercised with due respect to the rights of others, or upon proper application the courts will interfere"
 This will seem sensible to almost ev- erybody but Brother Bawden It would perhaps seem sensible to him if it were said to somebody who was dis turbing him by too much and too noisy free speech

A barbed wire fence sixteen feet high and the wires only few inches apart, has been erected around the womens headquarters. MT. McNair doesn't in tend to allow any love making around his camp. The men will be quartered in barracks. Bunks several tiers high have been put in the barracks in order that the men can be accommodated. A big tent with several long tables placed inside will be used as an eating house. Every seat at each table will be num- bered and the men and women will each have number, so that they can find their respective places at the ta- bles. Thirty cooks will provide the grub necessary for the large army of fruit handlers Seventy five double deck wagons have been provided for hauling the fruit from the trees to the packing house at St. Elmo. Ten thou sand picking baskets are already at the farm, together with material enough for two hundred cars of peaches. One half of this box material has already been put together ready for packing to begin.

< It has been found that Japanese coal Is not very good for use in the ships of our navy. The trouble with it is that it contains too much sulphur and in- stead of combustion occurring in the furnace it often goes into the pipes and IS very destructive to the boilers. An Investigation by the officers on duty in Manila shows that coal mines in the Philippines will be able to supply plen- ty of coal for government use when they are properly developed Mean while the department is compelled to use the Japanese coal or send large quantities of it from San Francisco to Nagasaki to be transferred to the trans ports on their arrival there.

 Commander J. M Murdock of the navy advocates a steady increase in our fighting ships at minimum rate Of four vessels annually, with propor- tional increase in the personnel. The only alternative, he says, is to give up the Monroe doctrine and accept any other consequences that our naval in- Aferiority may bring upon us, including loss of control of an Isthmian canal and loss of some of our outlying possessions which would sooner or later result from Inability to keep open the communica- tion between isolated areas of American territory. Incidentally, Commander Murdock argues that Germany will be the next nation that the United States will fight.
