AND STILL. THE WONDER GREW

| AND Still. THE WONDER GREW.
The mountain labored and brought
forth-a mouse The Times labored and
brought forth an elephants mighty
beast, full grown ungainly and with
prodigious stride. 1t was however, law
fully conceived and legitimately born-it
bears the birth marks of It's parents.
The secret is out-and such a secret!
The conscience of the Times must have
writhed under the. burden of this secret
during the few moments necessary to
put it into type. How fortunate for the
Times that it possesses the confidence Of
]. Pierpont Morgan. 1t Is to few news
papers, perhaps none other than the
Times, that he explains the workings OF
his inner consciousness; that he reveals
his vast financial schemes, his loves and
his hates We are afraid that the Times
has abused his confidence in revealing
to the public his private opinion of Mr..
Hill and his plan to throw the Great
Northern system in the air when he gets
good and ready 1t Is kind of the Times
to allow Mr.. Hill to remain in the sad
die while Mr.. Morgan leads the horse"
The Times has for some months
been "seein things at night" 1t is be-
coming subject to Authorizations. Cor
geously bespangled phantasmagoria pass
and repass before It's mental vision as it
lies wrapt in yellow dreams. Then, with
obsolete and ponderous words of doubt
ful meaning; with inverted sentence and
visions it has seen and calls upon the
world to wonder and admire.
The secret springs of interest by which
the acts Of men are governed are all
known to the Times. All knowledge
human and divine, that the past affords
as we'll as the unwritten chapters of the
future are as an open book to this reader
Of riddles and expounder of mysteries. 1t
has only to turn a leaf and 10! it is abe
to give to the gaping world the absolute.
In short, the Times is the essence which
knowledge distills.
Omar Khayyam, thousand or more
years ago, spake thus of the Times:
"You want to know the secret-so did I
Low in the dust sought it, and on high
Sought it in awful flights from star to
star,
The sultans Waterman of the starry sky,
Up, up where PerWin's hoofs stamp
heavens floor,
Ny soul went knocking at each starry
door,
TIL on the Silly top of heavens stair,
Clear-eyed I read the Times-and climbed
no more"

Five Largest Companies In tho

Five Largest Companies in tho
United States to Combine
MILWAUKEE. Wis, April 19-The
largest stationary engine manufacturing
companies in the United States are tn be
consolidated into one gigantic combine
with capital of S25,00O0 coo. The e. p.
Allis company. Of this city, will head the
list and Charles Allis and w w. AIlis.
of this city, will be president and chair
man of the board of directors, respective
ly, if the deal now pending Is consum-
mated. Charles Allis was in New York
yesterday in conference with the Wan
street operators who are back of the
project. The companies which are ex-
pected to be included in the new corpora
ton are: The e P. Allis company, q
Milwaukee; the Pennsylvania Iron Works
company, of Philadelphia; the Gates Iron
Works company, of Chicago; the Frazer
& Chambers company, of Chicago, and
the Dixon manufacturing company OF
Scranton, Pa.
This is the information given out yes
terday by representatives of the F. p.
Allis company and is corroborated by
dispatches from the East 1t appears
that the unwillingness of the Milwaukee
company to turn over its property gives
rise to the only possibility of a hitch in
the negotiations In order to win over
this company II will be given the two
most important officers in the gift of the
combination. Whether even this most
important concession will be sufficient to
close the deal is the question now to be
decided
