COSTS TWO AND A Half MILLIONS

Charles M. Schwab, manager OF
the billion dollar steel trust is to
have a new home. It is to cost two
and half millions. When COM
pleted, it will overlook the Hudson
at Riverside Drive, New York.
From many designs submitted, a
plan has been practically selected
for the magnificent home. The
favorite plan was finally prepared
in miniature in wax so that Mr. and
Mrs Schwab could see every de-
tail and appointment of the pro-
posed house before making final
decision.
The little wax work house is
one foot wide and two feet long,
and it cost $4,000 The model
was torn down and rebuilt scores
of times, the wax-workers restor-
ing it each time to the exact scale
thus maintaining all the proper
tions. With this model, Mr. and
Mrs Schwab were facilit ated great
1y in the selection of a design for
their hcme. ~ In miniature, they
can see'exactly how the place will
look when completed. 1t shows
the whole Orphan Asylum block,
which Mr. Schwab purchased as a
site for the new residence. For the
land, he paid 1866, 900. The walks
and drives, the building, as well as,
the several entrances, and the stone
coping which surrounds the block
are all shown in miniature. The
architect guards with jealous eye
this little pile Of wax. It is always
ocked mp in a box when the man
in charge leaves the room.
The Schwab home will be IS
1eet VIDE ana 125 1eet deep, with
the principal entrance overlooking
Riverside Drive. The main build
ing will be four stories in height,
and will be built of granite. The
rear extensions will be of red brick
and the roof of slate. A celebrated
steel expert is laying out the mas
sive frame of the building. Mr.
Schwab now expects to eat his 1904
Christmas dinner in the new home
The products of the steel trust are
sold cheaper in Europe than in the
United States. The tariff enables
it to charge the higher prices in
this country.

The national congress of the
United States has passed through a
crisis during Congressman Nc
Cleary's day and opinions on sub
iects of vital Importance have been
at variance just as they were in
the sixties. No one can deny that
our congressman has made a study
of these great problems in the same
thorough manner that he fitted
himself for the high place he form
erlv held as an educator, and it he
has erred which we doubt very
much doubt that he has to any ex-
tent, he has done so in conscien-
tious amnner.
That Congressman McCleary will
succeed himself is foregone con
clusion and that the campaign he is
about to open will be conducted in
the same clean, dignifi ID and gentle
manly manner as the previous ones
goes without saying.-Mankato Free

AUGUST WEATHER BY HICKS

AUGUST WEATHER BY HICKS.
The 3rd and 4th of August are
central days Of reactionary strom
disturbances. On and touching
these days the temperature will
rise to climax of warmth, and
barometric readings will fall, pro-
excessively from west to east, ending
in Threatening clouds, with thunder,
light rains and heavy buster in
many sections. On the 5th Earth
passes between thu Sun and the
great world Jupiter, near New Moon
on the 3rd and the Moons passage
over the celestial equator on the 9Th.
These facts will necessitate excess
lively warm weather, and if violent
electrical storms do not result seis-
mic pertubations will be most
natural. It is questionable whether
normal reactions to cooler weather
will follow the storm period, or
whether general and heavy rains
will ATTIC these storms, during
much of August. We believe that
very warm weather, with light
precipitation-even hurtful drouth
are in store for most parts of the
country, until the latter part Of the
month, especially. As laid down
facts published nearly twenty years
ago, and confirmed by long and
critical observation, it is fact that
these equinoctial periods of the
plantet Mars almost invariably pre-
petuate for many weeks the kind of
weather, and other phenomena,
prevailing at the beginning of these
periods. 1t is therefore reasonably
safe to say that the key to the

The Free Press believes it is a
direct insult to self sacrificing
Christian woman, and thrust at
every true Christian, to slur and
classify Miss Ellen M. Stone with the
freak attractions which are travelling
over the country lecturing. The
press in general and the country
weeklies in particular have been
doing this to a considerable extent
ever since Miss Stone took to the
lecture platform. a
Miss Stone lectured in this city
Thursday evening to large and in
telligent audience which was held
spell bound by her thrilling MARIA
tive, which was held spell bound
told in a plain, simple, yet scholarly
manner. Not once in that Lecturer
did she speak of her own sufferin g
during the six months of her captiv-
ity, but her voice trembled with
emotion when her young companion,
Mrs. Tsikla, was referred to Theirs
is case without parallel in history
and we believe the information
cleaned about the Turkish people
and the brigands of that unspeakable
country is of value to every person
privileged to hexr Miss Stone.
. The writer interviewed this most
interesting lady the other day and
she gave us to understand that her
lecturing enterprise, if one Oh doses
to call it thus, is only another form
of missionary work.
No, brethern Of the fraternity,
Ellen M. Stone is not a ''freak' but
one of Gods noble women who
was devoted over twenty years of
her life to teachinhg women and
girls the way of true living

The strenuousness of our day aud
generation is exempiltied this morn
ing by the returns from DesMoines
and town in Pennsylvania, where
3 too hearty handshake resulted in
the breaking Of s. bones. Miss Bow
man was too enthusiastically
welcomed by a''young Philadelphia
athlete, who succeeded in fractur-
ing her wrist in the joy of meeting.
Evidently we must be come less
strenuous or the handshake must 60.
1t would seem that a young man is
so overjoyed by meeting a young
woman that he brushes her little
! bones in his powerful grip, it would
ibe very much to her advantage to
,permit him to substitute for his
shake chaste salute on the marble
brow, just below the hair line.
This, in the presence of witnesses
onr chaperone, is dignitied and
proper, and altogether safe. Kissing
the hand has it's advantage in min
ing towns and large cities, as we
have already pointed out Evidently
something must be done to guard
a gainst broken bones and surgical
attendance in these days when every
young woman is beautiful and
every young man is an athlete.

Senior Shell is the peoples choice

Weakening is in store for them, for
the rank and file of the Republican

The character of immigration t(
the United States has been changing
greatly within the last few years
1t is not long since Ireland headed
the list of countries contributing
to swell the population of the re-
public; now Italy has taken this
place with Austria Hungary a close
second. Among the seven countries
which show undecreased emigration
contributes to the United States fol
the last fiscal year Ireland has by
far the greatest reduction.
On the other hand, Italy more
than maintains her increase of a
year ago. During the fiscal year
the total number of Italions enter
ing our ports was 178, S75 a gain OF
- ,379 over the number of the year
before. Austria Hungary sent us
171,Os9, or So, 500 more than during
the previous year, and Japan in
creased her figures from $3.50 for
100 1 to 1920 for this year, making
the largest PERCENTAGE of gain OF
any country for the year.
We are not so much interested In
the causes of these changes in the
character of our immigration as
they exist in foreign countries as
we are in their possible or probable
effect on ourselves. There is n
question that our rapid gowth as an
industial nation has been due largely
to the varied nature of the elements
entering into the makeup OF ou1
population. There has been much
humor and not little seriousness in
the jokes current not long ago that
Ireland and Germany through i'm
migration we're capturing America.
Now the pendulum is swinging the
other way and Italy takes the place
of leland in leading the immigration
procession.
This change must have an effect
on the general charactr Of our pop
ulation, but just what it's nature will
be it Is too early even to speculate
up on. Of one thing, however, we
may be reasonably assured, and that
is that the elements now arriving II
predominting numbers will, under
our system of free assimilation take
their logical places in still further
advancing the prosperity Of thu
country and contributing to it,
steady growth. Chicago Evening

thusiast. That is will be possible to
do this has all been figured out by
Charles D. Mosher. an inventor and
builder Of yachts, who claims that his
latest triumph, the yacht Arrow, has
covered a mile in minute and 10 and
S9-100ths seconds.
After many experiments and basing
his calculations on the size of the hull,
displacement and horse power of the
Arrow, Mr.. Mosher has figured that the
horse power required to drive, a. 700
foot vessel at the speed necessary to
.cross the ocean in three days-forty-
five miles an hour-is about 140, 900 on
a vessel of $4,000 tons displacement.
These figures are rather appalling to
the average mind, but it is safe to say
that an inventor who figures speed
down to such a fraction as S9-100ths of
a second has not dropped any ciphers
or made any miscalculation. It may
aswell be accepted that engines capable
of developing 100000 horse power will
drive a 70O-foot vessel across the At
lantic in three days. But who is 60
ing to undertake to stow away 10000
horse power machinery in the hull of
a vessel-and in these days Of strikes

Independence is the mother of all

It is moral force that, in the end,
moves the world.
Nothing is so idle or foolish as mere
denunciation.
If you would save your country you
must do justice.
No compromise army ever fought
the battles of liberty.
Injunctions are simply a whip to
lash the back of labor.
No great moral and political reform
eerv yet rested on money.
The hand Of compromise never yet
ran up the flag of freedom.
1t is personal achievement, not office
holding, that the world admires.
Every forward step of the human
race has been made red with human
blood.
In all ages and in all countries the
men who are in the wrong deprecated
discussion.
We are not interested in cheap pol
itics. We are trying to establish a
higher justice.
The Democratic party must always
stand for the great masses or else
have no mission.
Compromise, traders and neutral
men never correct abuses, nor fight
for human rights. ...s- 49,.
A readiness to give up life for a
principle is the highest form of hero
ism known to mankind.
Republican institutions and govern
ment by Injunction can not both exist
in the same country.
