American trade is to he real factor.
American traders must help one an
other Every American representa-

of inquiries as to who are the makers
of certain American specialties. If he

London Dealers Wide Awake
"Such a chamber would facilitate
trade relations between American
houses and British companies who
wish TO trade their goods. Dealers
here are wide-awake to the possibili-
ties of American products and are anN-
ious TO obtain the English agencies,
but the replies they receive 10 their
proposals often are surcharged with
suspicion. and oftener than not the
negotiations end in nothing An
American trade association could ac-
complish a good deal in the direction
of getting lower freight rates: i'm other
words. toward solving the American
traders greatest problem.
Combination of Small Shipments.
IF the members of various trades
knew each other better different ones
who had comparatively small ship
ments of freight coming over could
combine them and save n substantial
sum every time this was done. An
increase in volume of trade always
tends to decrease rates, and lower
rates. OF course, would mean the pos
sibility of lower prices. Then there
are in England many annoying little
dock charges. which, if American deal
ers were organized, could be abolished
quickly"

TO PUSH OUR TRADE
In London a United States Cham.

Is Advocated.
WOULD BE OF VERY MUCH USE
In the Matter of Finding an Outlet
for Our Productions in
Great Britain.

London, Sept. 24-It seems possible
that Il United States chamber of com
merce will be established in London
before long. The rapidly growing
colony of United States business men
here has been demanding something OF
the kind n good while. and at last
definite steps are being taken to that
end. Perhaps the movement or the
establishment here of Canadian
chamber of commerce and of another
for Australasia may have something to
do with Fastening the organization of
the United States institution. Accord
ing to 5. G.. Hobson, London represen-
tative OF The Iron Age, there is no
branch of United States trade in Eng
land to which the advantages of a
commercial association of the kind
appeal more strongly than to
the iron and steel manufacturers.
No Doubt of Its Benefits.
There is no doubt about the bene-
fits that would accrue from an organi-
Zation of the kind we hope to estab-
lish,' said HobSon in an interview.
lin the beginning, to populariZe Amer
lean trade here, it is essential that
our traders know one another. II

Getting Ahead of Gen. Bates.
(AIanila Freedom.)

During certain period of the war in
the Philippines, after the close of the Or
ganiZed resistance and while the Filipinos
were engaged in their guerrilla warfare
Gen. Bates, who commanded the Depart
ment Of Southern Luzon, issued an order
that officers should not permit their wives
to accompany them to the provinces, but
should leave them in Manila Among
those affected by this order was the wife
of Maj. John IL. Parker, of the 39th Inf,
q. $. v, better known as "Gatling Gun
Parker Of San Juan Hill. The sequel
shows that while love may laugh at lock-
smiths, wives scorn general orders. When
the order reached Taal, where the Major
was stationed, Mrs. Parker quietly APP
piled TO the commander of the district
for position ms schoolteacher, and re-
ceiving the appointment, proceeded to
snap her fingers ut Gen. Bates. Some
time afterward he heard of the disobedi-
encc of his order and attempted to disci-
pllne Maj. Parker; but Mrs. Parker
pointed to her name on the pay-rolls and
Gen. Macarthur sustained her Accord
ingly she remained on the lines with her
husband.

NJ CRUISE &MssI
IE.zz}z> COLORADO :
Presidency of the great

shut out from the Presidency of the great
American Republic.
A council of war was held, and as a
result of that conference it was arranged
that the little wanderer should be christ
ened on board of the Flagship Colorado,
under the benign folds of "Old Glory"
Thus it happened that on Sunday, Feb.
8, 1861, as the log of the Colorado will
show. the crew of the ship was summoned
to the quarterback to witness the solemn
albeit pleasing ceremony of baptism.
Everything had been done to make the
occasion impressive. Our brass howitzers
had been rubbed until you could see your
face in their cleaning sides; the long Par
rott rifles were polished shiny black;
the deck had been holystoned the day be-
fore and showed up as white and clean
and sweet as the breadboard of a model
housekeeper. Halyards, sheets and down
hauls and lifts had been cooled up and
slowed away; awnings had been spread
and seats improvised.
At six bells the ships company was
mustered on deck for inspection; the white
flag of the Cross was sent up to the
masthead, and the people" of the ship
disposed on the port side of the quarter
deck. By this time visitors began to ar
rive. Capt. Brinsley Sheridan, of the Eng
lish Royal Yacht ''Macia"; Admiral Paget,

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The Department of the Potomac, W. r.
c., has sustained another severe loss in
the death of Mrs. Charlotte A. Kibbey,
one of its Past Presidents, and woman
of rare character and devotion to its in
tercsts and those of the veterans. She
was a charter member of FaTragut Corps,
and had been honored with all the
offices in the Corps and the Department.
Her funeral was numerously attended,
and there was a great profusion of flowers
and mementoes.
Col Montgomery, the Signal Service Of

Geodetic Survey, under Col. Montgomery's
direction, and it covers all of one side of
the large room in which Col. Montgcm-
ery's Office force is located. The map gives
every place in which the United States
has an interest, and its object is to con-

Esese Things 1nsuepce an Emn,ovsr

Managers OF large institutions and bust
ness houses tell us that they reject a
great many applications from boys and
young men because OF badly-spelied and
carelessly -written letters. The nd-writ-
ing and style of letter are reliable indi-
cations of the character of the writer A
negligent letter, with careless sentences
and inaccurate expressions, indicates an
indifferent mind. The structure of the
sentences shows the texture of the mind
which uses them. As rule, a neatly writ
ten letter, with well-cOnstructed sentences
containing concise and pointed expressions
indicates careful and systematic mind.
loose jointed letter shows carelessness
in the choice of words to express thought
and signifies loosely constructed mind
which would be careless in everything
These may appear TO be small things, but
tribes make perfection.
An employer is influenced most by the
little things, in an application for a posi-
ton. The little remarks dropped, the ap-
pearance, the dress, the collars, the cuffs,
the nails, and the hair-all of these, which
seem trifies, have proved stumbling blocks
to the advancement of many a youth A
careless expression in conversation, the
use of slang, a failure to look the superin-
tendent or manager in the eye when talk
ing with him, fOrgetfulness in removing
ones hat, holding a cigarette, even an in
dication Of the use of tobacco, or the sign
OK some other bad habit, gruffness, lack
Of politeneSs, and the hundred other seem
ing trites, have barred the progress of
many youth.
Learning to spell correctly, to write a
plain, straightforward letter, without
superfluous words, correctly punctuated,
and in good, terse English, will form a
very important stepping-stone in the
career of Il youth.-Orison SWEET Marden,

Taps.
Gel Dorado Republican,

To us the most solemn sound ever
devised by man, the stately hush of a
vast cathedral, the imposing robes, the
stained glass windows, the pealing organ,
all fade into insignifcance beside the soul
stirring, simple sound-the trumpeting of
taps, or lights out" No man who has
ever heard it, either on the field of bat
tie, at the quiet army post, or in the Sol
diers' Home for the weak and shattered
units of the Grand Army of the Republic,
ever fOrgets it. For the bugle notes seem
to take into their own all-embracing ca
dence the tears, the memories, the shat
tered hopes and the long farewell. And
when we hear it, almost nightly, sounded
50 artistically by somebody to the south
os Walnut Hill-when it is finished with
sweet, lingering note that loses itself
in its own echo, we sit motiDnless till
startled from our reverie. TO us ever and
always it is the shadow of death.

The Average Americans Vices,

Henry Gannett, in Everybody's Maya
zine, is in a measure n slave to tobacco
He consumes 20 pounds of the norcotic
weed year, or one ounce per day, and al
though he has used it freely since he was
grown, as did his father and grandfather
before him, it does not appear that he has
suffered any mental or physical deteriora-
ton IN consequence Of such indulgence.
Though by no means an Incorporate man,
neither is he an advocate of total absti-
nence. Annually his family, which means
IN the main himself, consumes ~ gal
Ions of spirits and wine. and not less than
20 gallons of beer. This last item illus
trates u characteristic acquired with his
German strain of blood. He uses less
spirits and more malt liquors than did his
immediate ancestors.

Magazines and Notes.
A recent novel of Washington high life
has stirred a high Government official
to a scathing rebuke, which appears in
the September New Lippincott Magazine
under the title Mrs. North: An Unwrit-
ten Chapter with Some Comments" Were

attract wide attention to the singing
words.
Gen. Francis V. Greene, whose nara
tive history OF ''The United States Army"
begins in the September Scribner's, was,
it will be recalled, the General who re-
ceired the surrender of Manila. Mem
bers of his family have taken part in
every war of this country. One of his
collateral ancestors was Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, of the Revolution, and his father
was Gen. George S. Greene, of the civil
war. He himself is a West Pointer of
the class of 10.

England Peddler," engraved by Henry

furnishes the motive.
