LOCALIzATION OF INDUSTRIES.
One of the Fascinating Features of
the Census Bulletins.

One of the Fascinating Features of
the Census Bulletins.
Saturday Evening Post.
One Of the most fascinating numbers of
the delightful series of NOVELTIES issued by
Director Merriam under the general title
Of Census Bulletins has just appeared. II
is called 1.-THE Localization Of Industries"
and II deals with the tendency of particular
occupations to gather in particular neigh
borhoods. 1t shows, for instance, how over
So per cent Of all the collars and cuffs
turned out in the United States are made
In Troy, how over 81 per cent Of the canned
oysters are imprisoned in Baltimore, and
how over "a per cent of all American gloves
are created in the adjoining cities of Glow
ersville and Johnstown, N. Y.
But all this, while interesting, is not the
most interesting part OF the story. That is
found in the figures revealing the state OF
society in the towns themselves. Pause
for a moment and reflect upon the mean
ing OF this one fact: Nine-tenths OF all
the wage-earners in South Omaha. Neb..
are engaged in slaughtering animals and
packing meat. Imagine existence in such
a town as Balzac or lola or Tolstoi would
have described It. Thirty thousand souls
with but a single thought-all your neigh
bors. like yourself, working all day in
blood, hides and tallow, talking about them
all the evening. and dreaming about them
all night. II you don't cut the threats OF
steers in South Omaha you make sausages.
The literary and artistic circles OF the
town are represented by the poets who
compose verses about beef extract and the
artists who design labels for lard cans.
II you find the atmosphere OF dead ami
mails cloying you can obtain contrast by
leaping from South omaha to North Attle-
boro, Mass. seventy-two workers out OF
every 100 in North Attleboro are making
jewelry, and of course there is no chance
for the twenty-eight to think or talk OF
anything else.
Fancy that for a gilded existence. Life
in North AttleborO must be even more re-
fined than in GloversVille. where three
quarters Of the working population are
making gloves, and certainly far more so
than in Troy, where nearly seventeenth OF
the wage workers are turning out collars
and GUNS, or in Bethel, Conn, where all
but fourteen out Of 100 are producing fur
hats.

TIE COAL STRIKE COMMISSION.

1t is the evident purpose OF the anthra-
cite strike commission to spare no eff
fort to get at the bottom facts of the
case and to give both parties to the
memorable contest the fullest opportun-
ity to present their views as to condi-
lions and what may or should be done.
The earnest interest and zeal which the
members Of the commission have thus
far shown in the matter merits the
warmest commendation. They have gone
into the mines and investigated care
fully and thoroughly the character Of
the labor performed there. They have
made themselves acquainted by personal
inspection and observation with the toll
performed in mining coal far below the
surface Of the earth and the hardships
and danger incident thereto. IL is an
exceptional duty. one certainly not ex-
pected. that the commission imposed
upon itself in this respect, and 1t very
forcibly indicates the determination TO

Third Vice President Bird Of the Mil
waukee road is a bird, in slang parlance.
He declared before the Interstate Com
merce commission that live stock rates,
and, for that matter, all other freight
rates, are unreasonable today because
they are entirely too low to compensate
for the service rendered. Inasmuch as
every school boy knows that railroads
do not look to their passenger traffic for
dividends, the Milwaukee Bird must
surely know that the granger roads and
all the big trunk lines west of the Mis-
sissippi would be in the hands of re-
ceivers If it were not for the reasonable,
IL not excessive, freight rates. Possibly
Mr.. Bird had in view the beef packers
rebates and drawbacks allowed to other
favored shippers when he expressed the
conviction that freight rates were alto
gether too low today TO be considered
reasonable.

In addition to the necessity for political

Mrs. Flora Adams Darling Alleges
Depletion Of Orphans Estate.

In the matter of the guardianship of
Nancy Klingle Darling and Charles Tier
nan Darling their paternal grandmother,
Mrs. Flora Adams Darling. has filed in the
Probate Court statement in the nature of
a complaint Mrs. Darling in her state
ment, which is of considerable length, asks
the court ''to exercise any control it may
have to save the inheritance of the Darling
children from further depletion"
Mrs. Darling claims to be the nearest kin
of the minor orphan children Of the late
Edward Irving Darling and his wife. Beat
rice Klingle Darling, children who were left
double orphans with large estate, both per-
sonal and real, at the ages Of five and
seven.
She was informed in 1892, she says, by
Mr.. O. c. Green, who was manager for the
Darlings, that the estate then was valued
at 81 900 900, and through natural increase
would be worth from 81 200. 900 to s., 900 600
upon the majority Of the children. In 1895
she was further told, she adds, that the es-
tate would only realize about $4,000 and
was being depleted rapidly for speculative
purposes.
Mrs. Darling says the conditions are such
that the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany does not feel called upon to act. and
If the executor acts he would have to act

REGARDING SHADE TREES.
Superintendent Of Parking Submits
Reports on requests Received.

Mr.. Trueman Lanham, the superintendent
of parking, has submitted reports to the
District Commissioners on three communi-
cations concerning shade trees.
Mr.. Austin M. Cooper Of 1913 Half street
southwest. requested that trees be planted
in front of his premises. Mr.. Lanham says
the street is not yet up to grade and has
neither curb nor sidewalk. Therefore, he
recommends that no planting be done until
these improvements are made.
A similar request was made by DIR. W. w.
Aleger of 133 U street northwest, who
states that four spaces in the sidewalk for
trees have been overlooked. Mr.. Lanham
states that the holes for young trees have
not been prepared, and he recommends that
the planting be deferred until the next fiscal
year.
Mr.. c. B. Smith Of 201 Washington street,
Anacostia, requested that the trees in front
of his home be trimmed, or that he be given
permission to trim them. Mr.. Lanham says
the trees need no trimming, and recon-
mends that no permission be given the ap-
plicant to do the work as requested.
