lamb of st. John and designs of the
tee wished to retain as much as pos
sible of this historic relic, but was
compelled at last to let most of it go.
The shape of the shield, however, was
retained, and also the rock, after being
so remodeled as to copy, with some
eXaggeration, the contour of the is
land as it appears to the voyager be-
fore entering the harbor of San Juan.
Behind the rock is shown the rising
sun.
The choice of a crest, says Worlds
Work, presented the next difficulty.
No heraldic animal was suggested as
having peculiar local significance,
except the game cock, whose present
popularity the government is doing its
best to suppress. The native fora
was thoroughly sifted with a view to
finding suitable tree. The mango
was rejected because it too strongly
resembles an oak, and the palm be-
cause its trunk is too snake-like. The
bust of Columbus was next consid-
cred, and, though acceptable from a
heraldic point of view, it was disap-
pointing in artistic effect One of his
caravels, however, conveyed so happy
a suggestion of his work and made so
striking a figure above the shield that
1t was adopted without more ado.
When it came to the motto the COM
mittee decided that Spanish was out
of the question, since the new official
language of the island was English,
and English, because it was such an
unknown tongue to most of the peo-
pie, so, following the prevalent prac-
tice in armorial achievements, Latin
was chosen. Mr.. Hunt entered into
correspondence with several of the
most eminent Latinists and general
scholars in the country. OF the mot
toes submitted by them the most poet
ical had for its central thought the
idea of star shining brightly in the
heart of the sea; but this was open to
the objection that the star is with us
the recognized symbol of statehood, a
condition to which Porto Rico has not
attained. The successful suggestion
presently came from Washington
woman, and, almost simultaneously,
from DR.. David ]. Hill, assistant secre-
tary of state. 1t is from Ovid: "Pros-
pera lux oritur," literally, "a happy
day is dawning." 1t is especially APP
propriate to the device of the sun ris-
ing over flushed sea.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 13.-Ten thousand
dollars was contributed to the national
fund for Mckinley memorial by the
workingmen of Homestead. 1t was
one of the largest amounts for this
purpose that has been raised in west
ern Pennsylvania, and the amount, to-
gether with the names of those who
donated to the cause, will be forward
ed to the headquarters of the McKin-
ley memorial commission in Washing
ton early this week. The majority of
the workingmen gave half days pay,
from the lowest laborer to the heads of
departments. There were few, how
ever, who gave nothing.

been found that proves almost beyond
doubt that the crucifix found at
Frankfort, Mich, last summer by
workmen excavating for the founda-
ton for the Ann Arbor summer hotel
there was the property of Father
Marquette, the famous Indian mission
airy. Its possession has been disputed
since it's finding, but it has now been
turned over to the Ann Arbor Railroad
company. The rust has been cleaned
from it's pedestal, and the date 1864
was found on one side, while on the
opposite side was found the inscrip-
ton, IN. and c., Quebec" Marquette

1868 and was buried at Frankfort.

ways shows Prosperous Year.
ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 13.-The an
nual report of Colonel John M. Par
fridge, former superintendent of public
works, says:
"The Erie, Champlain, Oswego and
Cayuga and Seneca canals opened to
navigation on May and the Black
River canal June 1. The dates set
for their closing was Nov. 80. The
opening date was more than two
weeks later than the previous season,
and yet a comparison of the figures
representing the amount of business
actually done on the canals this year
with last will show that there was an
increase in tons of 74,672. A compari-
son of the figures week by week this
year with the previous year will show
that the increase which started at the
very opening of the season was main
tained to the last.
"The total tonnage on all canals was
3,420,613 tons as against 3,345,94 tons
the previous year, the increase in tons
being 74,672. OF the total freight car
ried 2,276,199 tons went eastward and
1,144,414 tons westward.
"The expenditures for the mainte-
nance and ordinary repair of the ca
nails and the collection and compiling
of statistics for the year ended Sept.
80, 1901, were 1912 $685."

The Week in Business.

There appears to be continued
increase in all lines of business over
that of the previous year. In its week
ly report of the business situation
Dunn's Re0ie7o says:
With the unprecedented holiday
business ended, transporting facilities
are more nea,ly adequate for regular
requirements. Merchandise moves to
consumers more promptly, and in the
iron region there is less interruption
to work because of insufficient fuel.
Normal conditions have by no means
returned, however, and It will be some
time before shippers can safely guar
antee deliveries on specified date.
Buying of staple commodities is on 4
large scale, fully sustaining quotations
at high level, except IN the few in
stances where efforts were made to
hold prices above the point warranted
by the ratio OF needs to supplies.
Fictitious values cannot be maintain
ed indefinitely, and the commercial
system benefits by return to the
position where distribution is faciIi.
tated. Labor controversies are few
and unimportant, while the new year
has brought advances in the rate of
wages at many points.
Holiday ldleness, inventories and
annual overhaulings were all cut down
to the lowest possible limit at iron
and steel plants in the effort TO meet
urgent demands from consumers.
Coke was delivered mole promptly,
relieving the pressure for fuel, reduc-
ing the premium commanded for i'm
mediate supplies, and making Besse.
mer pig iron more nearly sufficient for
needs at Pittsburg. Foundry iron at
the East is still scarce, high prices
being quoted at Philadelphia, and
Chicago mills cannot secure material
In desired quantities. Moderate I'M
ports have resulted from the domestic
deficiency, but this will not become a
factor of importance if the situation
continues to improve at the present
rate. Although railways largely aug
mented supplies of rolling stock dur
ing 1901, contracts for this years de-
livery already aggregate many months
full capacity of shops, and in structural
shapes there is no prospect of sur
plus in the near future. Weakness
continues in the minor metals, copper
selling S cents below the inflated price
OF month ago, and the annual re-
ports of output, consumption and ex-
ports indicate that the reduction was
fully warranted. Tin is also weaker,
and in neither metal has any active
buying followed the lower quotation.

FROM EAST BENTON.

Very old people tell us that IN the
pioneer days of our localitys history,
grist mills we're far off and that often
the early settlers went to mill on horse
back with very small gris,s. The
settlers followed out big stumps and
mashed their corn in them with
s.amper preparatory to cooking mush
or making corn bread. People wouldn't
live in luxury today If progression
were not the order of the day.
We visited the Pine Creek Coal
Oh Company's works last Friday fore
noon. They were busy adjusting all
the details of machinery preparatory
to starting in the afternoon or in the
night. No one who has not yet seen
this machinery and its working capaci.
ty would be astonished were he or
they to see it. 1t would pay any. or
all persons, who conveniently could,
to visit this place who live within a

of the water covering the old well was
completely covered with scum of coal
oil last Friday, which principally all
bubbled up with the gas the preceding
day. We were informed that con.
tractor Sheerer subscribed for 100
shares of oil stock. We expect to visit
the oil works again this week.

inches by 12 inches. So small is the
property that an ordinary straw hat
will cover twice as much space, and yet
an offer of 5000 has been made for it,
while the executors of the so-called

cipal asset, are holding ii at figure

the widening OF One Hundred and For

ally all the Uhl lot, leaving only this mi

value is purely fictitious, being based
on the desire of an advertising firm to
get possession of the spot for the erec-

present the so-called Uhl estate is one
of the chief centers of interest in the

ROAR WANTS FACTS
Senator From Massachusetts,
on the Philippines
n FAVORS A FULL INVESTIGATION.
Senator Lodge Says His Committee
Hs Perfectly Able to Handle the
subject-The House Dis
cusses Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-For the
0rst time this session the Philippine
question was touched on in the senate.
The interest taken indicates that 1t
will occupy the attention of the upper
branch of congress for some time when
the tariff bill is reported. The Philip
pines were the subject of an address
by Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts, who
spoke on his resolution introduced
Monday providing for the appointment
Of a senate committee to investigate
the administration of those islands.
Mr.. Hoar spoke at some length regard
Ing the unreliability of statements
which have been made from time to
tme regarding the situation in the
Philippines and the causes which led
to the outbreak.
He urged that there should be n
place where any senator in his official
capacity could go and ask for two wit
nesses to prove the correctness or in
correctness of any question upon
which light is desired.
Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Hoar's colleague, said
he regarded the resolution as a reflec-
ton on the Philippine committee, of
which he was chairman, and the neces-
sity for the latter would cease were
this resolution to be adopted. His com
mittee, he said, was perfectly able to
handle any investigation which might
be conducted. Mr.. Carmack Dem.)
agreed with him. The discussion was
leading rapidly to an opening up of the
whole Philippine question, when 1t was
agreed that the resolution should go
over until today. Mr.. Mason of Illinois
made speech in favor of reciprocity
with Cuba.
The house continued the debate on
the pension appropriation bill and de-
voted much time to the proposition ad-
vanced by Mr.. Rixey of Virginia to
open the doors of the soldiers homes
to ex-Confederate veterans. Two nota.
BILE speeches were made in support of
the proposition, one by Mr.. Gardner, a
Michigan Republican, and the other by
Mr.. Dearmond. Missouri Democrat
Mr.. Dearmond's eloquence aroused
both sides of the house. The Republic
ans, with the exception Of Mr.. Gard
ner, took no part in the discussion of
the Rixey suggestion, which met with
much opposition on the Democratic
side on the ground that it was utterly
impracticable. Mr.. Lamb of Virginia
read number of kilograms from prom
inent x-Confederates Of Richmond
protesting against it.
