CHAPTER II.

usual hour groups of ladies' were seen
vending their way toward the stately
mansion Of Mrs. Campbell, the wealth.

Mrs. johnson, president Of the society,

had managed to earn comfortable liv-
ing until the husband and father sudden
ly died, sipce which time the wife's
health had been very rapidly falling, and
she was no longer able to work, but was
wholly dependent for subsistence upon
the exertions of her oldest child, Frank,
and the charity Of the villagers. The day
before the sewing society Frank had been
taken seriously III with what threatened
to be scarlet fever.

ITALY WANTS GOOD CORN.
Government Adopts Measures to In

sure 6etter quality OF Maize.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Dec. THE Italian consul
in this city, G. Branchi, has written to
the secretary Of the produce exchange
to notify all the members and traders
in this city Interested in exporting grain
to Italian merchants that by q recent
decision of the Italian government that
any maize imported into Italy without
a consular certificate as to it's quality
will be rejected by the health authorities
and its landing absolutely prohibited.
Consul Branchi when asked about the
matter said
Our grain traders have received dur
ing the past year such a very miserable
quality of corn. when they had every
reason to expect superior grade, that
they have been compelled to resort to this
expedient to insure obtaining better
grades in the future. The usual consul
fees will be the extra charge that the
American shippers will have to pay"
It appears that in many cases it has
been impossible to obtain grain of first
class or contract quality. as the entire
crop has graded far below the standard

tative of Norton Switzer & Co. of Chi

DISLIKES MESSAGE
LONDON WEEKLIES FIND FAULT
WITH PRESIDENTS IDEAS.
DOES AUTHOR LITTLE CREDIT
Ono Paper Says Trust Domination Has
Caused Widespread Ruin, Corrup-
ton, Economic Tyranny and Do
mestic Affection in America.
(By Associated Press.)


London, Dec. 1.-THE comment of the
weeklies on President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress is not generally SO
friendly as that of the dailies.
The Speaker devotes the entire space
to acrid comment on the trust refer
ences. The paper declares the presi-
dents treatment of a grave economic
subject as trivial in form and unsatis-
factory in substance, adding:
Did we not entertain a genuine belief
in the goodness of the presidents in
tentions we should regard his diagnosis
Of the industrial situation as insincere."
The Speakers word picture of the
widespread ruin, corruption, economic
tyranny and domestic affection brewing
over in America, as the result of trust
domination. would be revelation to the
most ardent antitrust advocate in the
United States. The article concludes as
follows:
tics as Mr.. Roosevelt processes ia be, to
ignore these conditions is an act Of in
tellectual daring that does him little
credit. The upshot of the message is to
minimize and misrepresent the dangers
of trusts and to postpone any serious
attempt to grapple with Them
The Saturday Review, on the other
hand, remarked:
'All industrial undertakings in the
United States are more scientifically Or
ganized than in any other country, as
we have learned to our cost. The trust
is the last work of this system of scien-
tifc organization and the president is

FOR NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.
Plans for Direct American Route to the
Philippines. ~
(By Associated Press.)


(By Associated Press)
San Francisco, Dec. THE chamber Of
commerce Of this city has appointed a
committee to consider ways and means
for encouraging a direct line Of American
steamers to the Philippines. .oe
The treasury department has ruled
that by the recent Philippine decision of
the supreme court. shipments may not
be made to the Philippines in foreign
bottoms, as 1t would be in violation Of
the statute providing that coastwise
shipping must be carried on vessels of
United States charter, under penalty Of
forfeiture of the shipment.
The Togo Kisen Kaisha and Occidental
and Orient steamship lines are thus dis
barred from handling Philippine ship
ments, even though transferred to them
from American ships at Asiatic ports
In view of the supreme court decision,
it is authoritatively reported that the
Pacific Mail Steamship company Will
start new line Of steamers to ply be-
tween the Philippines. Hawaii and San
Francisco.
Capt. w. r. Seabury will start for the
East next week for Newport News to
bring out the hrst of the line. the
steamer Corea. OF 10000 tons.

marks:

corning the operations of the ocean line

It Is said in shipping circles that it
would be impossible for Americans to
secure control Of the Hamburg American

the Atchison in any arrangement which
may be made with the Hamburg Amer
