TIN CAN TRUST FORMED
THE CONSOLIDATION WILL GO
INTO OPERATION TODAY.

NEW YORK, March N.-The Joucnal
of Commerce tomorrow will say:
The new can consolidation will go into
work of making over the constituent
properties having been completed or Sat-
urday. The plants will now be operated
for the American Can company. Pending
the transfer of the properties quotations
on cans were withdrawn. 1t is now iTti-
mated the new price list will show
substantial increase, and it is intimated
the American Tin company is about to
make an advance in the tin plate prices.
AS already stated it is probable that Ed
ward Morton will be president of the
new company, and that Andrew and j.
H. Moore will be members of the board
Of directors. 1t is further said the Amer
lean Tin Plate company will have repre-
Sentatives on the board An interesting
feature of the consolidation, it is under
stood, is that all the vendors have signed
an agreement not to engage in the man
ufacture of tin cans within 800 miles of
Chicago for a period of fifteen years.
1t is known a subscriber to the under
writing syndicate, so-called, received
1000 shares of each common and pre-

WHAT KIPLING SAYS.
The American Girl as the Author
Sees Her.


Sees Her.
As to the maiden, she is taught to re.
spect herself, that her fate is in her own
hands, and that she is the more strln-
gently bound by the very measure of the
liberty so freely accorded to her
Wherefore, in her own language, ''she
has lovely time with about two or
three hundred boys who have sisters of
their own, and a very accurate percep-
ton that if they were unworthy of their
trust a syndicate of other boys would
probably pass them into a world where
there is neither marrying nor giving in
marriage. And SO time goes till the
maiden knows the other side of the
house-knows that man is not demi-

and managed-knowled edge that does not
come to her sister in England till after
a few years of matrimony. And then
she makes her choice. The golden light
touches eyes that are full of compre-
hension, but the light is golden none the
less, for she makes just the same sweet,
irrational choices that an English girl
does. With this advantage: She knows
little more, has experience in enter
tanning, insight into the business, en-
pioy and hobbies OF men, gathered fom
countless talks with the boys and talks
with the other girls who find time at
those mysterious conclaves to discuss
what Tom, Ted, Stuke or Jack have
been doing. Thus it happens that she
is a companion, in the fullest sense of
the word, Of the man she weds, jealous
for the interest of the firm, to be con-
suited in time of stress and to be called
upon for help and sympathy in time of
danger. Pleasant it is that one heart
should beat for you, but it is better when
the head above that heart has been
thinking hard on your behalf, and when

LAUNCHING SHAMROCK III.
LiptOn's New Yacht VIII Be Given a
Slide April =,

GLASGOW, March 24-Sir Thomas
Upton was at Dunbarton yesterday,
making arrangements to launch the
Shamrock H., and the ceremony has been
definitely fixed for April 2. The Mar
chioness Of Dufferin will christen the
yacht.
The attempt last week to dredge the
channel deep enough to float the chaI-
lenger, failed, owing to the shifty nature
of the bottom. For a time it looked as
IL this might give rise to serious Difficult
ties because the long fir and heavy bal
last demand twenty feet of water, which
1t is impossible to get
In this dilemma Mr.. Watson devised an
ingenious plan. This involves a huge
water tight box of sufficient buoyancy
to carry the whole weight Of the yacht.
The box is being built around her under
body in such a. fashion that the whole of
the hollow between the body of the yacht
and the fin will be filled up. 1t is call
culated that this will float six feet above
the norma! water line of the yacht, and
that when deep water is reached it can
be knocked away.
One result of the use of this contriv-
ance will be that the underbody will be
hidden as the yacht goes down the ways.
and it will be impossible to get COM

hospital office that the man himself was
not there. The reason for all this mys-
terry concerning the patient was not ex-
planned.
Moulton will be arraigned in court to-
morrow if his condition will permit, but
Miss Buckley, it is said, will not ap-
pear against him. She will leave that

America, charged with the murder of
