A LITTLE ESSAY ON TRASH.
What Proves Useless to One Proves
Useful to Another.

Useful 10 Another.
In the course of his annual report,
George W. Martin, secretary of the
Kansas State Historical society, phil
osophizes as follows:
Il think the collections gathered
by this society most remarkable in
completeness and in quality, with a
minimum of what critics-who have
never seen it and who have no idea Of
its use-call trash. OF course there's
trash in it.. There is trash every
where. Ifthe society had always been
as well located as it is to-day, the
quantity Of its material would have
been larger, with the result Of lower
ing the per cent. Of trash. The ques-
ton Of trash has existed since the
world began. Trash abounds in all
collections, and in all books, and, if
necessary, it is at least harmless. 1t
is not near as annoying to the investi-
gator as the thing he wants and can
not find. 1t is maintained and per-
petuated because, after all, what is
trash is a matter Of personal judg-
ment. Everybody who gives any
thought to the subject Of trash runs
up against the same stump. We are
told that there is ~two-thirds trash and
one-third useful, but the objectol
adds: Who will pick out the one.

on Her way no Buffalo
As a result of a collision on Lake
Erie between the Steamer City Of
Venice, ore.laden, and the Steamer
Seguin, steel lumber vessel, off
Rondean, Canada, Monday night,
the former vessel was SINK and three
lives lost, while several other persons
we're more or less seriously injured.
The City of Venice unloaded a car
go ofcoal at the Northwestern Fuel
Companys dock last week, leaving
here Friday for Ashland, where she
took cargo OF ore. On the way
down the lakes the accident oc-
Cured.
The cause of the collision is not
known. There was no fog and the
night was fairly clear The lights Of
the City Of Venice were burning
brightly TO this the passengers
and crew al testified, saying that
they could see the lights Of the Ven
ice as she was sinking. The second
mate Of the Seguin, w. a. Lavigne,
who was on watch, refuses. absolute
ly to give any information as to the
accident happened.
1.-THE less said about it the better,
III
was the only statement he made.
It was shortly after midnight
when the accident happened. The
City of Venice. laden with 3, 900 tons
Of ore, was bound to Buffalo, while
tne Seguin was going north to Perry
Sound from Ogdensburg On board
the Seguin all were asleep save The
second mate and the Waterman who
was with him in the pilot house.
The first mate of the Venice, Sulli-
van, was on watch aboard the boat
that went down.
The first that was known that
anything had happened was terri
bic crash which brought both boats
almost to sUandstill The Seguin
had struck the Venice fairly amid
ship and plowed it's way half through
tie boat. The crew and passengers
aboard both boats heard a tearing of
timbers mingled with calls for help
from those already on deck. All
those who were sleeping rushed out
on deck and there was a sfrightful
panic for a time. The Venice which
had been split in two, was sinking
rapidly. Captain Broderick ran on
deck il his sleeping robes and imme-
diately called to the men to man the
lifeboat The members of the crew
who had not been hurtrushed to his
assistance and in five minutes they
had the boat il the water. Several
Of the men who feared that the ship
would sink before they had an OPP
portlnity to escape, threw them-
selves overheard. They were later
picked up by the lifeboats from the
Seguin. The City of Venice went
down ia very deep water in less than
fifteen minutes after the collision
occurred. Alter standing by for an
hour, the Seguin headed for Cleve-

Promise of Lower Prices.
NEW YORK. April IL Relief is prom
ised definitely from the present abnormal
prices of meats and within a month they
former normal level This statement will
appear in the Press tomorrow, which will
also say:
The promise of relief was made last
Sunday night by Ferdinand Zulzberger,
one of the big six, when he was con-
ferring with the committee of investiga-
ton appointed by the Republican club of
this city. While this conference was only
preliminary to the important one to be
held in Washington with all of the meat
'barons' Mr.. Zulzberger felt called upon
to make some definite promise to the in
Sistent committeeman.
I can say with assurance he said
when pressed for some promise of relief,
that in month from now prices will
have sought their former level, or close
to it, and that that level will be found
soon thereafter. l can make that prom
iSe because there will be an influx by
that time of the new grass-fed cattle
from Texas, and with the thousands of
them on the market a break in prices
is bound to follow
ut was learned that the conference to
be held in Washington will be held next
Thursday, in a place not yet selected.
Those at the conference will be G. F.
Swift, Ogden Armour, J. Lyman, of Ham
mond & Co., Edward Morris of Nelson,
Morris & Co., Michael Cudahy and
Ferdinand SulZberger of Schwarzchild 6,
Sulzberger. These men will confer in
Washington with Attorney General
Davies, of this state. and Alfred L. Bull
Iowa Senator Samuel S. Slater and
James w. Hawes, members of the com
mittee appointed by the Republican club
to investigate the meat question and as
sist in prosecution If relief could not
be obtained in any other way 1t is not
believed that Attorney General Knox will
be present.

LINES Concerned-Terms of Agree
ment With the Germans

HAMBURG, April 27.-An official state
ineht or the terms of the agreement he
tween me German steamship lines and
lhe syndicate formed by j. Pierpont Nor
gan is published here. The agreement
between the Hamburg-American Packet
company and Mr. Morgan. it appears
was concluded last March. Under the
agreement it is claimed the German lines
nave preserved their independence in
every respect. The syndicate is bound not
10 send snip to any German harbor
without permission of the German lines,
which in turn bind themselves not to
increase their present traffic from Eng
land to the United States beyond a GER
tain fixed point. Many other clauses in
the agreement aim al preventing compe-
tlt1on between the syndicate and the Ger
man lines. Neither may acquire shares
IN another, but they are to mutually sup
port each other by chartering steamers,
or otherwise, in fighting competing third
parties.
A committee is to be formed, consisting
of two representatives of the syndicate
and two representatives of the German
lines, for the settlement of all questions
concerning their mutual interests. This
committee will have no executive power,
and any differences in constituting clauses
OF the agreement must be submitted to
arbitration. The duration of the agree
nlent is limited to twenty years, put
either may terminate it after ten years,
or demand a revision of the contract and
withdraw if revision is refused.
