Less Than Half the Steel Output Con-
trolled by the Trust.

Buffalo Express: So much has been
said by the so-called trust hunters
about the United States Steel corpora
ton and it alleged control of the iron
and steel business in this country that
some figures on this point furnished in
the latest bulletin of the American Iron
& Steel association possess unusual in
terest. No one who has at all studied
the industry in the United States has
taken any stock in the severe criticism
of this great organization, for it has
been strong from the time the combine
was formed and has been growing ver
since.
When the trust was incorporated it
was generally believed that the on
stituent companies controlled about so
per cent of the American output. Later
reports placed the percentage much
lower. The bulletin which has just
been issued gives rates on the various
products. OF a total production of U.s.
SS7,479 tons Of or in 1901 the United
States Steel corporation controlled 1879
per cent. while the plants in the trust
produced 6,S03. 9SS tons of pig iron, or
40 per cent of the total. The trust out
put of Bessemer and open hearth steel
ingots and castings was S,S60,5S4 tons,
which was 66.3 per cent of the produc-
ton of 1901. OF a total of 12,349,92
tons of rolled product, the Steel trust
manufactured SOL per cent, while it
manufactured 65.8 per cent of the wire
nails.
1t is thus apparent that the United
States Steel corporation is much less
formidable than some of its critics
would have the public believe. 1t is
true that the iron and steel business
Is more active than at any former time
in the history of the country and that
the real test of strength between the
big corporation and the Independent Or
CARNATIONS cannot be felt until a pc
Rod of depression sets in. But is 1t not
reasonable to expect that the outside
companies, with their more modern
plants, will be thoroughly able TO hold
their own in competition with the
United States Steel corporation il 1t is
ever necessary to start a fierce fight?
It is worth bearing in mind that the
Steel trust is doing all 1t can through
holding down prices to prevent such a
struggle.

Recalls Accident to President Pierce

The narrow escape of the president
from death will be a matter of pro-
found congratulation throughout the
whole country. The death of the de-
tective who was accompanying him rs
q safeguard against danger of another
kind may well suggest the necessity
of greater caution against other dan
gers than those of assassination. The
accident will recall m somewhat SIM
liar which occurred to President-elect
Franklin Pierce. On the 9Th of Janu-
airy, 1858. only two months before his
Inauguration, he was travelling oil the
Boston & Maine railroad from Andover
to Lawrence. Mass. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Pierce and their sol
10 years old, when the car was thrown
from the tracks and dashed against the
rocks. The boy was killed instantly

FIRST DINING CAR MADE.
It Was Called the "Delmonico" and
Was Crudely Equipped.

Leslie's Weekly: The first dining
car was called the Delmonico, of
course. 1t must have resembled u
present beautiful dining cars but slight
ly. Built by the Pullman company at
it's pioneer works in Chicago, it was put
into service in 1866, and after a short
but distinguished career descended to
the position of boarding car for con-
structors along the line, but it did not
come to this, of course, until great i'm
provements had ben made upon it in
subsequent models. 1t vas built in two
sections, with a kitchen in the middle.
One end was reserved for ladies', and
here no smoking was allowed, the other
end was a buffet arrangement, and got
itself nicknamed "the beer garden" be-
fore it had beer in service many Moons
The. floor of the car was u%ncarpeted,
and the seats were ordinary low-backed
coach seats, upholstered in leather.
The car was finished in walnut. but the
ceiling was covered with oilcloth. The
provision supply storeroom and refrig-
orator were under the center of the
car, and access could be had to them
only by means of a little brass ladder
suspended from the side of the car. 1t
was rather a precarious adventure fer
the dining car employees to make a
visit to the larder while the train was
in motion, inasmUch as there were a
great many covered bridges and other
Instructions along the line in those
days which would undoubtedly have
swept them into eternity had they not
timed their trips down the little brass
ladder strictly according to schedule.
The kitchen was supplied with an ordi-
nary soft coal range. Still, in spite Of
all these peculiar disadvantages, the
bill of fare for that time was consider
ed most elaborate.
The most interesting thing, however,
about the Delmonico was the way in
which the employees kept tab on re-
ceipts. When a passenger entered the
car the conductor handed the waiter,
who was to take care of him, a small
~pasteboard ticket, which the waiter
straightway deposited in a padlocked
tin box in the kitchen. At the terminal
station the ticket agent came into the
car, unlocked the tin box, and with due
ceremony counted up the house." The
conductor and other employees, while
not being required to give an exact ac-
count, were expected to make al ap-
proximate check in accordance with the
number of passengers served.
Talk about your graft! Are there
any opportunities like that nowadays?

Hypnotic Hair Dressers.

Our attention is called to a hair
dresser who is said to have great pow
err to hypnotic those men and women
on whose heads he gets a chance in past
issues of our paper. There is no doubt
it can be used by good men for good
urposes and quite as surely can be
used by bad men for devilish purposes.
We advise our readers not to employ
as hair-dressers persons of doubtful
character who may have studied hyp-
notism.-Our Dumb Animals.

Who Owns the Court 2

Chicago Chronicle; Senator Clark
declares that Mr.. Heinze must not be
allowed to own the supreme court of
Montana. Mr.. Heinze is equally firm in
his demand that Senator Clark shall
not own the supreme court of Montana.
In this situation there seems to be some
reason to look for a surprising and un-
n~recedented condition of affairs in
which nobody shall own the supreme
court of Montana.

Jorevin de Rochefcrt, who published
IN Paris In iG11 an account of his trav-
els In England. tells the following:
while we were walking ABOUT the
town (Nvorcester) he asked ME II 1t was
the custom III France as IN England
that when the children weDt to school
they catried in their satciicl with their
books u PIPE Of toiacco. which their
mothers took care to fill early in tho
morning. Il serving them Instead Of
breakfast. and that ut the accustomed
hour every one laid aside his book tn
light his pipe. the master smoking with
them and teaching them how to hold
their pipes and draw in the tObacco."
In England at the time of the great
piag ne it was reported that no one liy-
ing in tobacconist's house fell sick Of
the disease. This caused great de
mand for tobacco. Hearne says In his
diary. II remember that j heard for

The Sentinel Rushes the
Season.

f. ~
In a recent issue the Sentinel
reports that Gus Rodhart got
married at Sherbrooke as he
could not obtain marriage license
here on account of the absence
of Judge Carlton. The writer
of this article delares that he
can furnish sufficient evidence
that he never was married, and
he further says he don't know
just when he will get married.
How is it then that the Sentinel
knows all these things so far
ahead? That's like counting the
unmatched chickens Where is
this Sentinel man, and who is he?
Take it slow Sentinel, give US
more time, and don't rush the
season, we'll let you know when
we get married.

FIGHT AT SANTA MARTA



lsevolustoasats aEaaiiase Dead Gevsrnrnens
Troops ana Destroy n@lirsaas.
Kingston. Jamaica. Sept 1.-THE
German steamer Valencia from New
York, Aug. %. for Cape Haytien and
other ports, which has arrived here
from Santa Marta. capital Of the de-
partment OF Magdalena. Colombia.
brings news of a victory at Santa
Marta by the Colombian reyoIutionists
over the government forces.
Captain Gronmeyer OF the Valencia.
says that last Friday the revolution
lists made a desperate attack upon the
outskirts of Santa Marta. The gov
eminent troops were overwhelmed and
forced to retreat leaving behind them
100 dead Immediately after the with
drawal OF the government forces the
rebels started to destroy the railroed
tracks. They derailed several trains
at various points. demolishing engines
and cars, the latter being chiefly fruit
vans. Several lives were lost in these
wrecks.
Saturday the reyoiutionists occupied
the banana district Of Senega. where
they continued TO wreck the railroad
at the same time, keeping up their ad-
vance toward Santa Marta. When the
Valencia sailed from Santa Marta the
ssaf4z
that Captain Gronmeyer could see the
flashes Of their guns. Some buildings
in Santa Marta were then blazing, hav~
ing been ignited by the few troops left
there to oppose the attack of the rev.
olutionists The town at that time
was expected momentarily to surren-
der.
Owing to the total destruction of the
railroad the Valencia did not get her
cargo of fruit at Santa Marta. and be-
cause OF the seriousness OF the situa-
ion the captain decided to put into
Kingston for instructions
Officers OF the Valencia say that hor-
rible atrocities were committed during
| the lighting by the rebels, who used
machetes. Almost all Of the govern
ment troops killed were found along
the railroad track. their bodies being
terribly mutilated.
Santa Marta Is entirely cut of from
communication with outside points
and the residents OF the port have sent
an appeal by sea 10 Colon for protec~
ton, II Is feared that the revolution
lists viii sack Santa Marta when they
capture it. The stores there are closed
and the greatest terror prevails
The attack OF the revolutionists was
entirely unexpected and owing 20 their
superior numbers the resistance Of the
government forces was half hearted.
Officers Of the Valencia do not think
the Colombian government can get re-
Inducements into Santa Marta ia time
to save the town.
