BIC STEALING.

The news comes from Vienna that a further examination of the books of the Austrian Laenderbank of Vienna, a mortgage concern, shows that the embezzlements of Edmund Jellinek, employed in the cashiers de- partment of that concern, who disap- peared hurrledly Friday, are much greater than the $315,OOO at first report ed. The shortage is about s1,15o,0O0. The frauds were effected by the manip- ulation of checks and by making false entries in the books.
 This is big work for little country like Austria. If it had happened in this country, where they are throwing mill lions around as if they were pennies, there would have been nothing surpris- ing in it. Perhaps our thieves will not be long left in the shade by this Vienna exploit, and perhaps if some things that are going on now in Wall street were called by their right name the Vienna thief would look like small potatoes.

THE LATENT IN INSURANCE.

You can get insured against almost anything nowadays. The latest wrinkle in insurance is the Strike Insurance company of Vienna which, for an an- nual premium amounting to four-tenths of one per cent. of an employers pay roll, will insure him against uniustifia- ble strikes. The general principle is that benefits will not be paid unless the manufae turer is the victim of strike which the executive committee regards as ''unjustifiable, for instance, caused by demands for the engagement or dis charge of a workman, or by demands which the state of the business does not justify or by demands presented in form (which threatens the authori- ty of the management" The executive committee has binding power of de- cisions on these points. It will ortli- narily work through subcommittee which will investigate each strike as il happens and will fix the blame either on the employer or or the employees. If the employees are found to be at fault the employer will begin to draw a benefit amounting to "half the registered wages of the striking workmen." Nc employer, however, will be allowed tc continue to, receive this benefit fo, more than three months in the case of any one strike or for more than six months in the year in the case of any number of strikes.
 Perhaps this wont work any better than arbitration does, but it will be interesting to see how it does work.

DON'T FORGEI!

When mans wife gives him letter to mail she says Don't forget" and we'll she knows the need of saying it. Then when he comes home she asks him if he did forget. and sometimes he for gets to tell the truth about it. Some times it comes to light that he did for get, and then there is trouble. A man who forgets to mail letter that has been given to him to mail deserves trouble, and it is possible that he de- serves what happened to young man in Binghamton, New York. A letter was given not long ago by wealthy man of Binghamton to young man, a postoffice clerk, whom he knew well, with the request that the clerk post it.
 The young man forgot to mail the let ter, which was an important one, and kept it some time before he posted it. Nothing was said to the forgetful clerk about the matter, but when the wealthy man died it was found that he had made new will which omitted the name of the clerk, who in former will has been granted legacy of $9,000. The envelope bearing the time at which the letter was posted had been returned to the sender, thus revealing the clerks delinquency.
 This young man will probably not forget to mail other letters that may be handed to him. The loss of three
 thousand dollars is quite a penalty for a little forgetfulness.

sary to compress the gas in order to market the increasing production. which adds to its cost These conpressoFs. however, some of which develop nearly thousand horsepower. having the gas for fuel. are run with great economy. As has been the case in other lines Of business there have been ex- tensive consultations among the older gas companies and new ones have also been organized principally to develop new territory in West Virginia, where the pressure at the wells is high. To get this gas to market 1t is proposed to invest many millions of capital in longer pipe lines of greater capacity which shall reach into Ohio and western Penn sylvania. In the regions where natural gas is now used it is estimated that there are a million domestic fires supplied with it and that it furn- ishes four million people with light and fuel. There are 5,742 manufacturing es- tablishments of various kinds, includ- ing 102 iron and steel works and 219 glass works, which use natural gas.
 It is encouraging to know that natur- al gas is still so useful. It is pity that the gas which flows so freely in political campaigns1cannot be utilized.

NATURAL GAS.

Perhaps most people have an idea that natural gas isn't very important matter now, but it appears that the value of the natural gas consumed in this country in the year 1901 amounted to $27067, 300, Reckoning the price of gas at fifteen cents per thousand cubic feet gives total consumption of 180,- 450, 1000 cubic feet. For the same year the petroleum produced in the United States, 69,3S9, 194 barrels, was valued at $66, Ar, 1885, so that the product of natural gas was 40.7 per cent. of the value of the petroleum which is sent to all parts of the world, while the gas is consumed within comparatively short distances from the wells producing it. At the close of 1901 there were in this country 10,297 wells producing natural gas, 2,OSS of which were drilled that year. During the same time 800 miles of pipe were laid varying in size from two to twenty inches, bringing the total of the natural gas mains of from two to thirty-six inches in diameter up to 21,4S4 miles, at the close of the year.
 Except in the new fields in West Vir- ginia, the pressure at the wells has been declining so that it has become neces-

Commenting on Devery's victory, the Republican Philadelphia Press remarks:
 Into the dull, contracted life of a crowded city population, into which
 Devery comes with his largess, excite ment, and amusement, there should come provision at the public expense which will do what he does better than he does it. The city of the future will give such a population gymnasiums, athletic fields, playgrounds, room for clubs, lectures, opportunity for social amusements, baths, cooperative provi- sion for various needs, aid and informa- tion in procuring employment, and the, safeguards of justice and an honest competition in seeking place in public and semi-public work which will substitute merit for pull" Until the intelligent, wealthy, and directing classes furnish these things at the pub- lie expense honestly the Deverys will win their political fights by purchasing them at the public expense dishonesty.

The reports of the officers of the
Pioneer Mil Company at yesterdays
annual meeting We're not wholly salts
factory. Only a small crop was har-
vested, being not more than half that
anticipated, and the cost of the per
manent improvements made during
the year far exceeded the estimates
In his report Vice President Isenberg
shows the need of a loan of $3.50 900,
He states that an agreement has been
made with II. =. Baldwin to furnish
eight to twelve million gallons of
water daily from Honokahau gulch,
which will allow the discontinuance of
several pumps. The remaining pumps
are to be changed to be run by cleo
tricity, generated from the mountain
streams.
The plantation is reported to be in
excellent condition, and the average
yield per acre has increased.
The report of the manager shows
that the grinding of the 1900 crop,
which was finished in May, 1901, gave
but 6,56s tons, little more than half
the estimated Yield. About 500 900 was
spent in improvements during the year.
This years crop, now being harvested,
should yield 10000 tons. About l,sO0
acres will be planted this year and 1t
Is expected that the 1904 crop will show
