These small workers become expert. and very few

Mr. fraud inks the press and does the printing
himself. because the press is heavy work. and he
has wish to the risk of having boyish
fingers hands crushed in the rollers. The
press turns off about eight hundred papers in an
hour. The day after the paper comes out the

did not return home at IL o'clock last

notified of his absence. His friends can
assign no reason for his disappearance,
unless it Is that he had financial troubles.
He is twenty-three years old and was
regarded by DIR. Woodward as an upright
young man in every respect.
For several days Wilbur seemed to be
depressed over something. but said moth

The State Department is in receipt of a

the undertone of the market reflected a
considerable buying demand. London sent

bankers show no concern over the out

The listing OF the new United States

Such record for the opening day IS de-

Indications are that the buying of these

BOSTON. March 2s.-General Nelson A.

Il believe that the backbone of the trou-
Die is broken. No doubt there are other

there will be much enthusiasm under any

General Miles would not express any
opinion as to what would be done with
Aguinaldo
Rear Admiral Evans said
Il would not say that the capture Of

do much toward bringing about final set
