The Right to Living.
In the past certain men made liv-
ing by exchanging shoes for money
which bought clothing, lodging, food,
education, others made houses, wOve
blankets, or cloth. Every man made
some one article or set Of ar
ticleS which he exchanged for all
the other things he needed, took
pleasure in or was educated by.
We have changed all that and no
one man is responsible or to blame
for it. The inevitable result Of
the accumulation of capital in few
hands and the consequent need Of
vast enterprises for its investment,
combined with the human inclination
to corner the market. have produced
trusts. The department store is a
combination of the little stores under
one roof and under one management.
The change has been accomplished in
. little more than quarter Of GEN.
tury. Where there used to be in this
small city numerous fourishing hat,
glove, trunk, hardware. book, furni.
ture, and candy stores, there are now
Lut one Of each and five department
stores. The natural expansion and
development OF the city would have
doubled the number Of these single.
line merchants were it not for this
centralizing and irresistible tendency
of the decade. 1t is idle to rail
against it or against the men who
have interpreted, anticipated and
taken advantage OF the movement.
1t is expedient for department
store to pursue a policy of under
selling some article, jewelry for in :
stance, in order to attract Gus
TONERS to the store. who are
more than likely to buy a number
of other articles on which the merch.
ant makes legitimate profit. But
the men who deal only in jewelry can
not afford to cut the profit from the
selling price, because they have moth.

ment. from the sale of which another
man makes his living. Oisobedience
to this principle has already driven a
large number out of business into
clerk>hips and correspondingly di.
minished their scale of living and
!. their desirability as customers,
When the system shall have reached
its inevitable conclusion, three or
four department stores in every town
: the size Of Lincoln will be selling
goods to farmers, professional men
and their families, department store

yesterday. had reached this port on Satur-
day afternoon after a forty-seven day trip from
Hong Kong. by way OF the Suez Canal. and had
anchored in the evening in the North River
The captain had expected to meet his wife and
daughter on his arrival but had been disap-
pointed. They had left China for this country
when he did but came by way of Japan and
San Francisco
The captain had risen early yesterday morn
ing to watch for them But the launch each
time it returned from the man-of-war landing
at West Forty-second-st. brought back only
further disappointment.
The announcement of the orderly. therefore.
brought the captain 10 his feet in an instant.
Naval formality was forgotten. The captain
at the gangway before the orderly and the
officers whom he passed had time TO touch their
hats in salute. After many embraces he helped
his wife up the steep steps, and then lifted his
daughter Lille 10 the deck.
When a Tribune reporter went aboard the
Newark several hours later the reunion of the
captain and his wife was the chief subject of
conversation among the members of the crew.
Some Of the expressions heard were:
Captain was little anxious about her."
Glad 10 have her back again"
Wont let her go away another time"

When asked to tell of his experiences in Chi
nese waters. Captain McCalla said mOdestly:
'Al we did was help" Here he showed the
reporter picture of the survivors of guard
of fifty marines who were landed at Tien-TSin
from the Newark and the Oregon, and who were
among the troops at the stOrming of Peking.
Captain McCalla said that he was pleased with
his transfer to the battleship Kearsarge. al
though his attachment to the Newark had grown
strong because of many associations. The New
ark will leave her moorings off West Forty
seventh this morning at s o'clock and anchor
off Tompkinsville, Staten Island where she will
discharge ammunition. She will then go to Bos-
ton, where she will be put of commission.
Captain McCalla will take command of the
kearsarge, it is expected. some time next week.

FINE STABLES BURNED.
WEALTHY PITTSBURG STEEL MAN NEAR
LY OVERCOME IN EFFORT TO SAVE
HIS CRACK TROTTER, IT IS SAID.

The thunderstorms following the severe heat
have been playing havoc in Westchester County.
One of the most serious accidents reported
was the burning of the two large stables
of Henry Darlington the Pittsburg steel manu-
facturer at Orienta Point, Mamaroneck- on the
Sound Mr. Darlington is we'll known patron
of racing and is vice-president of the Gentle
mems Driving Association Of Pittsburg. On the
Fourth of July lightning struck the large stables
the Jacobs place, which he has just purchased
from Mrs. Jacobs. and completely destroyed
them. The loss about $4,000. A heavier
loss followed early Saturday morning, when the
stables at Mr. Darlington's own home. on the
Point took fire and were burned The buildings
were of the finest type, and cost something like
$4,000.
At the time the fire broke out there were
twelve racing and coach horses in the stable.
Five of them, including a Shetland pony. the
pet of the children, were taken out but the other
seven perished. One of the burned horses was
the gray trotter Faust, with record of 2:0S on
the ice. Mr. Darlington is said to have paid
$4,000 for the animal. black team. valued at
$4,000. also perished. The carriages and har-

"Is there much trade between the United

Most of the trade between Teneriffe and
American ports Is by way of Porto Rico and
Cuba. There is a regular line of steamers run

chief imports from the United States are coal,
wheat, flour, petroleum. lard, tobacco and cotton
fabrics. The chief exports to the United States
and Cuba are almonds, cochineal, split peas.
