Cling and striving for years. Good broth

many more will be called before the fruit

ECHOES FROM THE LODGE ROOMS OF THE DISTRICT

Masonic bodies owing allegiance to the
Blue Lodge should not encourage their
membership to take separate action. We
believe this view is erroneous. Surely the
organization which gave us light claims
from us our veneration. our affection and
our allegiance. and as surely We acknowl
edge with gratitude these claims. On the
other hand, are not many of us proud
possessors of title to the chapter? Do
we not also love that organization; and
has there not been conferred upon numbers
of us the ennobling honors of the Temple;
and are we not filled with honorable pride
in the existence of the glorious body of
knights Templars, and OF our being part
of it? If so. it seems to follow naturally
that the orders having their foundation in
and owing allegiance to ancient craft

Revival of an Old Rumor.

With the increased activity of the stock
vival of the rumor that the Erie is ne
gotiating for control of the property. BY
securing this road the Erie would have
the predominating voice in the anthracite
district. The report is received with a
variety of opinions. 1t has been under
stood that the Vanderbilts controlled the
road n that it will not leave the Wander
bits. If this be true is seriously doubted,
and further that the Erie is in position
financially to assume control of the d. &
II. road is open to question. The D. & H.
operates 664 miles of track, of which il
owns but lie miles outright. It's capital
stock is $34, 64S. 200, which has been selling
of late on the open market at 10. It's
funded debt is s., 200, 900, while that on the
leased lines is ST., 900, COO. The total liabil-
tiles of the road are, therefore, $50, 35S, 200.
These figures having been taken into con-
sideration, the one question uppermost is
how the Erie, with its already top-heavy
burden of bonded Indebtedness, can afford
to take on such another tax uDon it's re-
been sufficiently prosperous to make its
stock Immensely valuable, and il might
be relied upon to relieve the burden of the
Erie in certain particulars. It's coal pos
sessions have, of course, much to do with
the value of its securities, both as a source
of revenue and as a source of remunerative
freight. In the present strike the output
of the d. q II. mines has been such an i'm
portant factor that President Oliphant has
structionists in the way of a settlement OF
the difficulty.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
MARKED IMPROVEMENT OVER THE
BUSINESS OF MONDAY.
The Outlook, However, Is for n Quiet
Fruits and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

There was more life to trade yesterday
than on Monday. Mail orders were more
numerous and home trade showed a marked
Improvement. An impression prevails. how
ever, that the greater part of this months
business is TO be rather slow, but with the
coming in of September fall trade Will set
in briskly. Price changes are few. In the
grocery line sugars are in stronger position
while coffees are hardly as firm as last
week. but no marked change is noticeable.
The demand for staple groceries continues
good. Provisions are fast movers, so high Is
the range Of prices for fresh meats, while
hog products are slightly lower with the
weaker tone TO the grain markets On Com
mission row trade showed marked improve
ment over Monday. All commission men
have large stocks and in every line the
market is unusually we'll supplied. Peaches,
plums, pears and in fact all fruits of the
season are abundant and sell as low as
usual. Flour carries an easy tone, though
prices are unchanged. Coal dealers are
very busy, the supply of anthracite coal
will soon be exhausted unless the strike is
adjusted and shipments of anthracite TO
this market set in. Eggs are very nrm,
but poultry is easier and only well fatted,
healthy stock will bring prices quoted But
ter is in large supply and unless choice
difficult to dispose Of. Other markets are
without new features.

ROAD TO BE ABSORBED
THE PENNSYLVANIA AND WANDER
BILTs WANT THE MARQUETTE.
Rumors that the Erie will Secure
Control of Delaware & Hudson
Road-Van Horne's Record.

The Pere Marquette is one OF the largest
of the few important roads in the middle
and Western States that is still an indie
pendent company, but an impression pre-
walls that it, sooner or later, will become
the property Of the Pennsylvania or the
Vanderbilt lines, as it controls more i'm
portant mileage in Michigan than any
other road. 1t is believed that before the
plan TO extend the line TO Buffalo becomes
effective one of the interests above men
toned will secure it and pay the price
for control that the holders ask. Pere
Marquette is the outcome of a consolida-
ton in 1899 Of Chicago & West Michigan
Railway, Detroit, Grand Rapids & West
ern Railroad and Flint & Pere Marquette
Railroad. The present corporation owns a
network of lines lying chiefly in Michigan,
the eastern termini being at Toledo. o.;
Detroit, Mich, and Port Huron, Mich.
connecting there with Grand Trunk Rail-
way, and the western termini at La
Crosse. Ind. Grad Haven and other points
along Lake Michigan. Some 1,s25 miles
Of road is operated with an equipment Of
1900 cars and $50 locomotives. The lines
were originally laid TO reach the timber
lands of upper Michigan, and by success
full management and economical operation,
a typical log-carrying road has been de-
veloped into the present system. After
the timber supply was exhausted, and be-
fore the present condition was arrived at,
a financial reorganization was necessary.
The plans of reorganization provided, when
the present corporation was formed, for
the %refunding Of existing securities upon a
more conservative basis. Funds for the
Improvement of the property were also
provided for, and the work of placing the
roadbed and equipment on an equal foot
ing with competition has since been con-
tinued.

COSTLY ARMY TAILORING.


Washington Letter in New York Post.
Some of the army officers in Washington
are in a state of mind over the number of
changes in uniform which have been i'm
posed upon them during the last few years.
Few will escape short of 800 or $50 eX-
penses for the latest notifications. This is
a large block 10 take out of a salary which
is not excessive. at best.
The bulk Of the army tailoring is done by
two concerns in this city. TIL head of one
of these is a thrifty soul, who realizes the
difficulty a young officer often has in max
ing both ends meet, and the uselessness of
trying to collect bills for military clothing
by suits at law, especially if the debtor is
somewhere on the opposite side of the
globe. He has in his safe now promissory
notes for more than 500 o. owing him by
lieute nants who nave had to mortgage six
months salary to get them a proper outfit.
This tailor has adopted a shrewd device
of securing his debts by insurance policies.
An officer opens an account, and then takes
out a life policy for 5000, payable to his
own estate and pledges it with the tailor
as collateral security. The tailor takes his
note for the balance due from time to time,
charges 6 per cent. interest and let's the
thing run. II the officer inheritS a legacy
from his aunt. or marries a rich wife, he
pays, as a rule. as promptly as possible;
but if he is killed in action or dies of
cholera, the creditor does not have to lie
awake nights wondering where his money is
coming from. Meanwhile, his investment
in the officer is bringing him a cumulative
income. The only person who suffers by
this arrangement is the widow.

Deepest Mine Shaft.

Industries and Iron.
1t is claimed. and with reason. that the
Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and
Hecla copper mine in northern Michigan
is the deepest i'm the world. 1t has taken
nine years of day and night work to sink
and has cost 81. 500. 600. This shaft is YER
teal, but all the other shafts of the Calu-
met and Hecla follow the dip of the lode.
Work on it was started in 1889. immediate
~ after the last of the three great under
ground fires in the older workings of the
mine. which did damage of more than
81. 600 00. Work has been continued upon
it since that time, and the shaft stands
without a parallel in mining. 1t is 1890
feet i'm depth. or $50 feet less than a mile.
1t contains six compartments. each equal
in size 20 an ordinary mining shaft. four
OF which are used for hosting rock and
