ence of the mine strike commissioners
will be held here Tuesday night. prior to
the resumption Of the hearings Wednes-

purposes and results, or rather lack Of
results, of the ten day recess and defining
specifically the position of the commission
regarding the recess.
Expert accountants of both sides are

view of eliminating as far as possible the
contentious regarding the mathematics of

New York November S0.-F. w. Reitz.
former secretary of state of the South
African republic, was one of the speakers
at a meeting tonight held under the
auspices of the Clan Ma Gael in COM
memoration of the Manchester martyrs.

inhuman treatment. He declared that the
Beers had been martyred. The only rea-
son peace terms were signed, he said,
lay in the fear that the race would be
exterminated through the death of the
women and children in the concentration
camps, where 1900 had persisted.

Chicago. November 30.--A vigorous ex-
animation with view of determining
the causes that led to the explosion of
Swift & Co.'S boiler plant yesterday, when
thirteen persons were killed, was begun
today by mechanical experts.
Although those conducting the investi-
cation were reticent in discussing the
progress of the work, the intimation was
given that Water Tender Owns, who
paid the penalty of death for his sup
posed carelessness, was responsible for
the catastrophe. 1t is supposed that the
water had been allowed to get low in the
boilers and that when an effort was made
to supply the deficiency the explosion oc-

DEARTH OF ANIMALS.
Efforts to Restore Agriculture in the
Philippines Is Blocked.


Manila, November sO.-The efforts to re-
store agriculture In the Philippines have
been blocked Ny dearth of field animals.
Ninety per cent Of the carabos died in
the original epidemic of rinderpest and of
the small number remaining. many have
since died.
The government had planned an extern
sive importation of these animals to meet
the crying need, and had arranged to
have thine immunized. IL was forced to
abandon this plan on account of a lack
of money to meet the purchase. The gen.
eral cultivation of the plantations is inn
possible without them and the absence
of any immediate prospect of getting the
field animals leaves the agricultural sit
uation in a serious condition.

Although the friends of the Near aguan canal threaten to apply the lash and to cry treason" every time the Panama canal is mentioned in the house or senate, there is every pros pect that it will be mentioned many times before the Morgan or Hepburn bills are passed. The United States is rich, but that is not regarded as q good reason why she should invest millions in that Nicaraguan canal if millions can be saved by the purchase of the Panama ditch. It may trans pire that nothing could be gained ny the purchase of the latter, but Ad- miral Walkers report does not prove it and there will be a good many meln- bers of congress who will ask for proof before they vote to appropriate $1S0000,000 for the construction of a canal over any route.

CARRY YOUR WEALTH.


 This greatest riches-in fact, all tic wealth that is of real value-must center in yourself You must be ricll within, not outside of yourself; rich in the things that financial panics fluctuations of trade,/ accidents by flood or fire, dishonesty of business associates, or errors of judgment cannot rob you Of Your greatest in vestment must be self-inyestment: investment in health, in courage, il kindliness,. in nobility of manhood ol womanhood.
 Whoever you come in contact with should be. conscious of your wealth it's influence should radiate from every pore; it should look out of your eyes; it should exhale fragrance in your speech it should manifest 1t self in your deeds; it should shed warmth, light and comfort within it's radius; it should enrich your whole community. Real riches should be like the wealth of the rose, which filings out it's beauty and fragrance to every passer-by. There is no stint ing of its favors, no reserve of selfish ness; all it has, it gives. This is true wealth.-O. $. Marden, in February Success"

 "There is no particular occasion for taking a pessimistic view of the inn mediate future of the market" writes Henry Clews, the banker, in his last weekly letter. Tt is sufficient to say that large quantities of securities are held in strong hands for sale at high figures; but while natural conditions do not favor any extreme advance, the situation Is such that sheer manipula- ton may force prices of stocks to Il higher level. We are likely, however in the immediate future, to see a good trading market, as there will be ire quent setbacks and rallies, but I con tinue to recommend conservative deal ings, especially in the industrial prop critics"

LIFE's WORST TELLTALEs.

The scattered papers, tEe unified letters, the disorder1y draw CTS, the dust in the pigeonholes, the layers of newspapers. of letters, of manuscripts, of pamphlets, of. empty envelopes, of slips of paper, are all telItales.
 If were to hire clerk, would ask no better recommendation than would be afforded by the condition of his desk, or table, or room, or work bench, or counter, or books We are all surrounded by telltales which are constantly proclaimfng the stories of our lives, cover them up as we will Our manner, our gait, our conversation, the glance of the eye, the carriage of the body, every gar ment we wear, our collars, ,neckties and cuffs. are all telling our life-stories to the world -O S.

PR1NTINGs AND SURPRISING.


 sTrumbull'' in his interesting letter in the New York Sunday Herald tells this week of a case in New Haven, where at the request of the family the inventory of a large estate (obvi- ously that of Mir Trowbridge) was kept out of print. It is curious how often the request is made to leave out such matters, by people who admit that they would at once buy paper that had the same information about any other estate than that they hap pen to be interested in. The inventory of every estate is public. There is no reason under ordinary circum- stances why it should be concealed. Sometimes an estate may include per- sonal notes and there may be reasons for not disclosing those, but there is not even a plausible explanation for emitting stocks and bonds or for fail- ing to tell the total amount. The only reason for objecting to letting the facts be known would be that they might demonstrate that the deceased had been lodging taxes. 1t seems to be forgotten by people who are so squeamish in such matters that every bit of real estate is owned by q record that is as open as the sidewalk. 
 There is no more reason for concealing ownership of stocks and bonds than of land and buildings Yet thefe Is this persistent effort to hide all such information. The wider open the record of ownership of the things of this world is made the better for soci- ety. It would be good thing to-day if everybody were required to record all his possessions publicly yearly. This has to be done with respect to houses and lands. Is it any more or less respectable to own stocks? When the police see a man on the street, try ing to hide what he has, they as once suspect him of having stolen it. Some years ago, at the urgent request of cer- tain friends, the Courant consented to omit the publication of the inventory of the estate of a prominent man. The next day, when a reporter of the paper was in bank in town, the president called to him and sent message of thanks to the office for the consider ation shown and expressed his disap- proval of the course of another local paper that had printed the list When he had finished his thanks the banker called one of his clerks and told him to Hgo out and buy a dozen copies of the paper that had so unkindly made the publication. q know a number of people," he said, "who will be nightly interested in that article and want to send it to them. .''-Hartford Courant
