that its head was recognized as am

White was especially o persona grata

REAL HERo, OF THE BULL FIGHT

REAL HERO, OF THE BULL FIGHT.
But before I can share the popular
admiration for the matador there is
one htmble participant in the bull
fight who mnst be eliminated. He
is the chulo, or attendant. who armed
only With "a rake. scrapes the sand
over the, blood. and offsaddles the
dead horsesf
From stage managers point OF
view. his presence In the ring is a
grave mistake. There Is no doubt
that to him his life is just as valu-
able as the life of the matador. but
Invariably It is the chulo who is the
last to leave the arena. And even
when he does make his exit, he goes
sulkily and under protest BY his
manner he gives you to understand
that the bull is interfering with his
work and that he regards him as a
nuisance. Again and again, after the
matadors have vaulted to safety you
will see the humble super. rake in
hand and with one foot on the ster
CT barrier waiting patiently for the
bull to sweep by and permit him to
continue with his hoeing. He stopa
out OF the way of the bull with nc
moro braggadocio or assumed terror
than he would show in avoiding o
tram-car. His business is to sweep
tho arena, and all through the fight
he and his humble brethren, cursed
though they be by the most enticing
of firemen's shirts, continue to &c
about their own business while the
raging bull and the stars of their pro-
fession disport themselves in the lime
light. The stranger cannot help but
observe that the man with the rake
is in danger just as great as the mar
with the sword, and that he regards
it not at all. He should be taught tc
do so. He should be made to show
open fear of the bull. AS 1t is. he
spoils the dramatic effect.-Scribner's

STAMPS OUT
COMPETITION
United States Steel Corporation Will
MonopoIize the Steel Industry
Of the United States.
CANTON PLANTS WILL Be AFFECTED.

The United States Steel corporation
!. Is reaching out to become the steel
monopoly of the United States says the
Gleveland Leader.
- Convinced of the folly Of trying to
preserve stable list of prices with
small and uncontrolled competition in
the field, 1t has decided to buy in all
of the large producers of heavy steel
together with the major portion Of the
light steel production. q
The announcement is now made on
authority that the United States Steel
corporation has acquired control of
Jones & Laughlin Of Pittsburg and the
Cambria Steel company. It is said
that the corporation first purchased the
control of the Jones&Laughlin concern
but obtained the option only on the
assurance that the Cambria Steel com-
pany should also be controlled Wheth-
er or not this extraordinary string was
attached to the sale of the Jones &
Laughlin establishment 1t Is said ON
authority that the two companies have
passed into the control of the Steel
corporation. At the same time the
latter relieves the Pennsylvania rail-
road of its steel interests and removes
two of its most potent and independ-
cnt factors.
At the same time. the rosy dream Of
a railroad shipyard and railroad own
ed steel mills for the manufacture OF
the railroad material is put quietly
away to repose among the memories
Of the great ideas of the past. The
price at which the two mills have been
sold is not told in the story of the
transaction. 1t is sufficient to say thar
aside from the growing Lackawanna
Steel company. the Birmingham Steel
company and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company and the Leukens mills
the United States Steel corporation
owns all of the great factors in steel
production in the United States. I,
must be admitted that perhaps no two
Of these concerns mentioned have q
capacity or have the Importance OF
lunsse& Laughlin in the steel trade
The purchase Of these two concerns
gives the steel corporation perhaps a
virtual monopoly OF the iron ore sup
ply of the Lake Superior region. In
this connection 1t is recalled that with
the purchase of the Union Steel com
pany and the Sharon Steel company
last week. the corporation obtained
some valuable ore deposits.
IL also gained valuable and much
Ieeded furnace capacity, together with
finishing mills to take care Of some
of the surplus steel production which
IL has heen marketing here Of late. BY
the purchase OF the Jones C Laughlin
concern II gains perhaps the best sup
ply Of ore in the Lake Superior region
that 1t has yet acquired, because the
Pittsurg concern has been buying UP
ore. lands for the last two years III
great quantities and besides that has
purchased the outputs Of several mines
for some time to come.

mate. May Holten. were arrested last
night. charged with the murder of
the first named's mother Mrs. George
Turner. a few days ago by putting rat

indifference as to the enormity Of the
crime In a confession the girl Iona
said that she put the poison in the
coffee pot in a ht Of temper, because
her two brothers were constantly tell
ing her mother stories about her,
which. the girl says. discouraged her
so that life OF home was unbearable.
All the family partook OF the poisoned
drink, and only the prompt work OF
physicians saved the father and the
brothers of Iona The girl expresses
contrition for the act. After the girls
crime became known the other mem
