the Neapolltans. The candidate of one
is invariably opposed in the colony by
the other. In districts where the
northern Italians. particularly the
I1edmontese, abound, they refuse to
fraternize with the southern Italians,
holding that the latter are intellec-
tually their interiors. Provincial dis
putes and even township controversies
separate Italians in New York and
stand in the way of the solidarity
which other foreign-bor constituents
OF New York have found, If not indis-
pensable, at least II great aid to sue
cess in politics. Whether the younger
generation of Italians born in this city
Will be better politicians is a question
which remains to be determined, but
that the local Italians have learned
little of the skill and shrewdness of
the Irish leaders in the wards in which
they have superseded them Is made
apparent whenever there is a primary
contest and election, Il social or po-
litical function, club meeting or
sidewalk debate.

GETTING POSTED.
Method of Asking Questions Rapid
ly and Not Waiting for Answers.

From the Detroit Free Press.
He had the look of man who would
not give another man a fair show. and
it was only a minute after he sat down
in the seat beside the cowboy that
his nature was fully exposed.
II suppose you have had some mar
row escapes from the Indians?" he
queried as IL starter.
We'll yes" was the reply. 1T was
only two months ago that | was rid
ing across"
And of course you have seen bears
in plenty?" interrupted the Fastener.
Yes, I've seen bears. One day
about six weeks ago, as / was looking
for stray cattle among the footholls,
/"
and l have heard the wolves out
there are very savage?"
wolves? Well, the timber wolves
are bad critters to meet when they
happen to be hungry. One day last
winter, when the snow was about three
feet deep, I was making my way
around"
And it is true about there being so
many rattlesnakes out there?" cut in
the questioner.
"There's rattlesnakes, of course" re-
piled the cowboy, after II puzzled look
at the other, land mebbe they are as
thick as the papers tell Of Yes, I've
seen heap OF 'em myself. | was just
thinking of a narrow escape I had last
summer. ! had got off my cayuse to
look for tracks of lost cattle, when-"
And We're you ever in a prairie
fire?"
Prairie fire? Yes, three of four of
'em. 1t was only last August that as
| was Looping across the prairie about
twenty miles wide that"
And how about landslides and ava
lanches?"
i've seen 'em both. The biggest
landslide l ever saw was two years
ago last fall. 1t was over at Panther
mountain. | was within half mile
Of the base"
Were you ever run over by stam-
peding herd of cattle?" interrupted the
listener.
Yes, was" slowly replied the cow
boy, who seemed to be out of sorts.
WAS it big herd?"
"About 10000 steers"
And, 'of course, you We're trodden
into a shapeless, lifeless mass?"
"Of course"
THAT will dO-thanks. I've always
had considerable curiosity about the
West and thought I'd post up little.
Much obliged for all your informa-
tion, and good-day!"

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Story to the Effect That the United
States Steel Corporation Will
Build Another Plant.

Reports from Buffalo say that the
United States Steel corporation is plan
ming to erect a big plant on Grand
island, If the projected bridge between
the island and Buffalo is built. The
purpose of the corporation in erecting
the plant is said to be to fight the
Lackawanna Steel company, which has
great plant in South Buffalo.
Though it is denied that negotia-
tions have been opened, it is said on
authority that the United States steel
management is not averse to taking
over the American Can company on
fair terms. and that it is waiting for
the annual report of the latter COM
pany to aid it in estimating the value
of the property. This report will be
ready in about thirty days, the Ameri-
can Can company having completed
the first year of it's operations, March
~.
1t Is announced this afternoon that
the details of the plan for issuance of
$3.50, 100000 United States Steel bonds
will probably be given out in few
days.

ONE ITALIAN DEFECT.

From the New York sun,
Despite the very large increase in the
number of Italian voters In the city of
New York in recent years, their great
adaptability 10 American methods OF
business and their we'll known clanish-
ness, there is now no Italian in any
effective office, and though repeatedly,
and especially in the Second and Sixth
Assembly districts, Italians have been
nominated, they have almost invari-
ably been defeated. 1t is also true
that i'm proportion to their numbers
Italians do not occupy very promi-
nent place in public affairs here.
The reason for this condition of af-
fairs politicians find in the fact that
the ability to make concessions, To give
and take see.ks to be lacking among
the Italian politicians of New York.
They have petty factional controver-
sizes which do much to dissipate their
strength. Thus i'm the Second ASSEM-
bly, district, which includes the Sixth
ward, there are two rival factions Of
Italians, known as the Sicilans and

years ago on diplomatic day diplo-

The editor of "Appletons Annual
Cyclopaedia" has just stated the total
of gifts to educational and philan-
thropic objects in this country in 1861,
counting only gifts of $1,000 and up
wards, as aggregating l07,36O, OOO, which
is $6OOOO,OO0 more than in 1900, and $44,-
100000 more than in 1899.
Mr. Wu states that the Chinese
Province of Shansi alone could supply
coal to the entire world, even at the
present enormous rate of consumption,
for period of 5000 years. This was
the estimate made by Baron Richto-
fen, the celebrated German .geologist.
Mr.. WI draws the practical conclusion
that American enterprise has a large
field in the Celestial empire, and that
it is we'll to cultivate friendly relations
with a country whose coal bin is as well
supplied as that of China.

We're Sol 100000 against $40000,000 for
1900. The figures for imports are $780,,
100000 against $95,OO000O. This gives
us some idea of the chances for larger
gains after the war is closed.

millionaires who invade it's historical

The widow OF General John B. Tur-
chin, now oyer so years OF age, and who
followed her husband through the civil
war, performing many heroic acts, is
practically an object of charity. Gen.
eral Turchln died some time ago with
out having been able 10 provide for her
future. This seems sad case Of neg.
lect and injustice, in view of the fact
that the government seems to be willing
to fall over itself in giving immense
pensions TO some widows who are al
ready wealthy. who have no greater
claim than that their husbands may
have been prominent at time OF death,
while this widow who saw actual serv-
ice In the camp hospitals with her hus-
bands troops is permitted to die a
pauper.
