Black Spanish.


The Black Spanish is one of the old
est varieties of domestic poultry. Their
name has been identified with the in
dustry for hundreds of years, and
their practical worth on the farm has
long been of much value. Their
naughty bearing, large red comb and
wattles, and the white face and lobes
peculiar to the breed, contrasting with
their glossy black plumage, render
them most striking fowls. White
faced Black Spanish have long been
favorably known for their exceptional
ly fine laying qualities. The Oldest of
the nonsitting varieties, they still
maintain an unsurpassed record. The
pullets are early layers, averaging $50
to $50 eggs per year. the hens begin
ming somewhat later after melting,
but compensating for any loss of guam
tity by the increased size Of the egg,
while hens and pullets alike are well
above the average for winter laying.
Their eggs are large and white and of
good flavor. Their white face is dis
tinguishing feature, and should be

Over a Billion.

TRENTON, N. J., April 1.-The United
States steel corporation this afternoon
filed with the Secretary of State ar
ticles amending its charter and increas-
ing its capital stock to 81, 100. 100000. The
States fee for the filing of the papers
was 1920 900. The original articles filed
some time ago were only amended in one
particular This amendment was made
for the purpose of taking advantage or
an Act passed by the recent Legislature.
Originally the corporation could not
mortgage or pledge its real property or
any of the stock of any other company,
except by the affirmative vote of the
owners of two thirds Of the capital
stock Under the amended charter. it is
necessary to have only the affirmative
vote Of two-thirds of the stock repre-
scented In person or by proxy at any
meeting of the corporation. The reason
for the change is the fear that the stock
will become so scattered that 1t will be
impossible to get two-thirds Of the en-
tire stock represented at meeting.

HOW THE TARIFF
AIDS INDUSTRY
1t Now Compels Big Sheffield
Plant to Move to United
States.

NEW YORK, April Is. J. Robin
son, managing director of w. Jessop
& Sons, Ltd, of Brightside works,
Cunarder Lucania for the purpose of
determining as to the location or
plant which the English concern pur-
poses erecting in the United States
The Jessop Company, winch IS capt.
talized at S2,000000, operates one of the
oldest established Industrial plants IN
Europe, it being founded as far back
as 1774. 1t manufactures crucible steel
chiefly. The Sheffield works under
take a number of large contracts for
the British government, and give en-
ployment to 1850 hands.
In an interview, last night, Mr.. Rob
inson said:
I'VE are going to build plant on
this side principally with View to
escape the tariff of some $50 ton,
which the United States government
imposes on crucible steel entering this
country. Having works here will ena-
BILE us to extend our important bust
ness connections in America. While
it is somewhat premature to state
what particular additional new lines
we intend to enter into the manufac-
ture of, I will say that we shall make
a feature of the steel specialties which
manufacturing in England and ship
ping into the United States.
! Another reason for our present step
is that we now labor under a distinct
disadvantage on the other side owing
to the high price of fuel. On last
years business We had to declare a re-
duced dividend on that score, notwith-
standing our books having shown the
largest turnover in the history of the
company.
las to the precise location of the
plant, l am not yet in a position to
say anything definite, but it may be
taken for granted that our new works
will be in the vicinity of Pittsburg.
W. F. Wagner our general agent in
! the United States, and myself, leave
for that city within the next few days
for the purpose of going into the ques-
| ton of a suitable site
Mr.. Robinson thinks but lightly Of
the idea of any serious competition
arising from American exports of coal
into Great Britain. He says that fuel
prices on the other side must soon fall.
1T must be remembered. he contin-
ued, that two years ago coal was SELL
! ing at 100 per cent lower than existing
! quotations. Moreover. the railroad
freight rates from seaboard to British
Industrial centers would, l think, con-
siderably tend to kill the possibilities
of American coal in England. While
/ I do not share the intensely gloomy
view which some persons indulge in as
regards present and future business
conditions in Great Britain, 1 cannot
but admit that things look serious and
would not be at all surprised to learn
that many of the iron and steel plants
on the other side are row executing
orders at a loss"
Mr. Robinson will be in this coun-
try about three weeks. ard is to visit
a number of industrial plants. The
projected Jessop works will b. ecu p
ped with the most modern American
machinery On beginning operations a
working force of 500 men is to be en-
listed

DANGERS FROM DERELICTs.
PeriIs to Navigation From Half-Sub-
merged Wrecks.
(Erom the Brooklyn Times.)

The report that the British brig Eiec-
trio Light is sailing the ocean with no one
on board furnishes another reminder OF
the great danger to mariners from dere-
llct ships. This craft sailed from Ne"
York for the west coast of Africa on No
vember 30 and it is believed that lts zap
tain and crew we're rescued after the brig
was believed TO be in a sinking condition.
When the derelict was passed by the ltal-
ian steamer Vincenzo Florio there we're
no signs of life on board. II was thought
that the vessel was in dire distress II
had its mainsaiI set and was making slow
PROCESS on the starboard tack when the
steamship came alongside. The foremast
was broken off at the deck, its maintop-
mast was gone. and its bowsprit carried
away close to the bow A boats crew was
sent aboard the brig but it was found to
be deserted, its boats being gone.
The case of the deserted brig naturally
recalls that of the Marie Celeste. which.
in 1877 was found abandoned about 300
miles west of Gibraltar. There was no
evidence Of a storm having been encoun-
tered in the latter case. In fact, every
thing indicated that the crew of thirteen
souls. including the captains wife and
child, had left the vessel hastily. A half
eaten meal was found on the seamen's ia
bic, and the same condition of things was
seen in the captains cabin. In one cor
ner of the latter room was sewing ma
chine with 4 child's garment under the
needle and woman's thimble near by.
But not a living soul was found, nor could
any trace of captain or crew be found,
though the facts were officially reported
in every foreign port.
The Marie Celeste and the Electric
Light, both sailing along with no hand on
the helm, were both a menace to naviga-
ton, as other vessels were liable to col
Tide with them, especially at night. But
dangerous as such craft unquestiOnably
are, a much greater danger is presented
by the partially submerged derelicts, usu-
ally lumber laden craft, that have been
abandoned but which have been known to
keep afioat for years, and have doubtless
sent many good ship to the bottom.
A system should be adopted for Kidding
the ocean of these dangerous derelicts.
The United States offered some years ago
to share this work with other nations but
the offer was not accepted. Our naval
vessels have blown up many of these float
ing wrecks. but it is too much to expect a
single nation to assume such task. 1t
should be undertaken Jointly and for the
good of all.

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
A NentriIoquist's Feats Puzzle a
Load of Passengers.

From the Louisville Courier Journal)
If you desire to enjoy alternating the
sensa lions of Indebtedness, disgust, and
then despair, go into the neighborhood of
a first-class ventriloquist. One boarded
West jefferson Street car at Sixth Street
Wednesday night, and every passenger
would have bolted and walked to his des-
tination if the trickster had remained
aboard.
OF course, no one knew that he was
master of ventriloquism when he sat down
about midway of the aisle and began read
ing a newspaper But when pretty girl
in the front of the car asked the conduc-
tor for chew of tobacco, the other pas
sengers gasped. AS for the girl, she
wilted.
The voice. pitched to CO.. below the
staff. was so unlike her own that she
looked furtitively at the young man who
sat by her side. When the conductor
reached for his plug she became naughty.
and the collector Of fares concluded there
might be some mistake.
The passengers looked dazed. when,
moment later. the conductor shouted,
18th Street" As for hat individual, he
thought himself under the spell OF hoo
doc. OF course. he didn't announce 1a8th
Street, but all the passengers thought he
did. which amounted TO the same thing He
walked to the platform. evidently deep in
thought. He scanned the passengers to see
who was responsible for the trick.
The door had barely clicked when
fat man who sat across from the man
interested in the newspaper began ex-
pounding upon the merits of canned
watermelon. Everybody became inter
ested. The remarks we're in keeping
with the subject and more ridiculous
argument could scarcely have been
made The man on the left. however,
took exception to the remarks. Both
men turned and for an instant regarded
one another. Their faces were red with
anger and modification. and their ex-
prcssions were certainly not amiable.
Each clearly thought the other bereft
of reason, and there were surface indi
cations of trouble
Just then the man behind the news
paper chuckled, arose from his seat, and
with a slight bow, left the car.
The passengers caught on" including
the two men who had engaged in the
argument.
