A BALTIMORE business man wrote his own
will to save, as he said, 1.-THE expense of
lawyer" After his death the courts were
called upon to interpret the will and the ex-
pense incurred in commissions and lawyers
fees amounted to nearly SIT 900. So the bust
ness mans family had this sum to pay in
order that he, in his lifetime, might save twen-
ty-fve or fifty dollars. Comment is unnec-

A HARD-woRKING farmer in Hamilton coun-
ty, Indiana, had saved enough money to pay
offtwo notes that the village bank held against
him. He went to the bank and after trans
acting the business with the cashier, he pro-
ceeded to offer up fervent prayer thanking
the Lord for delivering him from debt which
had harassed him for forty-four years. The
press dispatch says crowds of people assem-
bled and witnessed the incident"

ANDREW ID. WHITE, United States Ambassa-
dor to Germany, has resigned, to take effect
November 9TH, when he will be 20 years of age.
Failing health is the cause assigned for the re-
tirement. Mr.. White has added lustre to our
foreign diplomacy and commanded general
respect among all ambassadors by the brillian-
cy of his mind and the scope of his vast schol-
arship. 1t will be very difficult to find sue
cessor who will equal Mr.. White in all lines.
Still, happily, America is not short in the mat
ter of able men.

WHEN Mr.. SCHwAB, president of the United

chased the plant of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany for s7,5O0,0OO cash some wiseacres
thought he had an elephant on his hands.
But it don't look so now. He has just sold the
same property to the United States Shipbuild-

BY THE failure in London few days ago Of
the British-American Corporation and the
London and Globe Finance Corporation the
public will lose, it is said upwards of 100000
900. These schemes were operated by two
men who had organized forty -one companies
and finally swamped the entire number. The
shareholders will recover next to nothing.
Perhaps something of this kind may happen
in America some day. Who knows?

THERE is lull in the talk about the isthmian
canal, but the Government is doing its part
intelligently, and something definite will
doubtless be fixed upon by the time that Con-
gress meets next December. Negotiations be-
tween the State Department and the author
tiles of Colombia are in progress, and although
our side has not yet gained all it wants, and
all it must have if the Panama route is to be
accepted. the outlook is that Colombia will yet
come to time. If she does not, of course the
Nicaragua route will be selected. The canal
will be built at one point or the other, and
work will probably begin before the end of
1902.

THOMAS A. EDISON, the noted inventor, late
ly wrote letter concerning motor, traction
and aerial navigation in which he said: II be-
lieve that within thirty years nearly all rail
ways will discard steam locomotives and adopt
electric motors, and that the electric automo-
bile will displace the horse almost entirely.
In the present state of science there are no
known facts by which one could predict any
commercial future for aerial navigation"

as compared with July LIST, of "a, 453,1 26. This
