land supply is already nearly exhaust ed. This will bring dearer iron and steel. However" he added, ''even the United States has only a proved supply of first-class ore sufficient for sixty or seventy years. With the reserve of in- ferior grades 1t might last another thir- ty years, unless the rate of consump- tion greatly increased. But the United States, with her enormous extent, has good hopes of discovering deposits now unknown
 In proof of his contention that it was hopeless to fight magnitude in com merciaIism," MT. Carnegie cited the su- premacy of Germany in the speed of Atlantic liners, and said they were not paid half the subsidies received by the British lines. Tt is the magnitude of the 250, ,C00000 of people the German lines serve, which is equivalent to great home demand. This justifies their ocean greyhounds. as the American home market justif1es unequalled man. ufacturing establishments.
 Mir. Carnegie added: Since these lines were penned we have had strong proof of the law of surplus. To support a smaller market in an unequal strug gle your government has found it nec- essary to give s2,000 per day from the national revenue for two Atlantic grey hounds under your flag. The German gets four of these without this aid, be- cause of a greater home market, which supports shuch ships of itself. There is no escape from the influence of magni- tude, which gathers as it rolls, and must finally conquer"

REGISTRY LAWS
ARE CHANGED
Names of Voters Must be Ar
ranged Alphabetically.
TWO DAYS TO REGISTER
Law Governs All Cities of First, Second
And Third Glasses and Includes
The City of Lancaster

The new registration law, which
goes into practice for the first time at
the coming spring election threatens
to cause the boards of registration no
small amount of trouble and much
more work than under the old sys-
tenn. In some places the city clerks
have called meetings of the inspectors
and clerks of election to instruct
them on points but no such action
has yet been considered in this city.
The law provides that voters must
be registered, not in alphabetical or
der, but according to their residences
on the streets n the wards in which
they live. Formerly each voters
name was recorded with others, al
phabetically arranged. To register
voters in this manner was simple
enough. The new law requires all
voters on each street to appear in or
der, the one living nearest the head
of the street to be placed at the top
of the list, followed in order by his
next neighbor AMI so on down the
street.
The new law regarding registra-
ton of voters applies to cities of the
first, second and third classes. 1t is
as follows:
"The inspectors of election in all
cities of the first, second and third
class shall make record of all cleo
tors of their respective precincts, ar
ranging the names in such manner
that all electors residing on the same
street are grouped and in numerical
order, commencing with the lowest
house number from one boundary
line of such election precinct to the
highest house number on the g ne
street within the boundaries of such
precinct. The printed registered
list shall have the names of the var
ious streets displayed in heavy type
over each group of electors residing
on such street within the precinct
boundaries, and such street shall be
arranged in successive geographical
order from east to west and from
north to south.
The first registration days will be
Tuesday, March 4, and Wednesday.
March 5. A second opportunity is
afforded one week before election,
Tuesday, March %, the hours being
from a. m. until o'clock p. m.

Postmaster j. T.. Webb is Recommended
for Another Four Years Term as Uncle
Sans Mail Superintendent Here.

Mondays dailies chronicled the an
nouncement of James I. Webb's re-
appointment as postmaster at Lancas-
ter and his name was sent to the SEN

Mr.. Webb was appointed for his
first term Oct. 1, 1897, and his COM
mission was dated Jan. /, 1898. His
term of four years thus expired Jan.
1st. That he has been a good and
faithful servant is evident from the
fact that no opposition was in the
field against him and his reappoint-
ment came as matter of course. He
is entitled to and is receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends and patrons
of the Lancaster postoffice NAV rest
assured of prompt, efficient and care
full service for another four years un.
less unforeseen changes occur.
Walter Webb, the capable and
obliging assistant, will be reappointed

Z. W. FREEBORN
IN THE TOLLS
Marble Cutter Arrested at
Colfax, Wash.
CHARGE is EMBEZZLEM'T
Sheriff Dickinson Fnroute to Washington
And Will Bring Prisoner
Back For Trial.

Frank w. Freedom, who was until
a few months ago foreman OF the Lam
caster marble works in the employ of
G. Lehner & Co., was arrested We'd
nesday of last week at Colfax, Wash,
by the sheriff of the, county in which
that city is located, His arrest ter
inmates long and faithful search on
part of Sheriff Dickinson and Under
Sheriff Mcmahon and no small amount
of strategy was used to advantage in
effecting his capture.
Freeborn is well known in Lancas-
ter and vicinity and the announce
ment of his arrest may come as sur
prise to many who were unaware OF
the institution of criminal proceed
ings against him. The warrant for
his arrest charges him with embezzle-
ment and was issued by Justice
Wheeler of this city charging him
with the above named crime. The
complaint was made by Casper Leh-
ner, the marble man, and in an inter
view with a representative of this
paper Mr.. Lehner stated that the
amount of funds appropriated by
Freeborn amounts to three or -four
hundred dollars.
Sheriff Dickinson received a mes
sage from the Washington sheriff last
week informing him Of Freeborn's ar
rest and he Immediately took depar-
ture for that destination, going by
way of Madison where extraditior
papers were secured through Gov
LaFollette's agency.
! Freeborn made a very hurried de-
parture from Lancaster last fail and
failed to make good his agreement
with Mr.. Lehner to go to Dubuque
and al once enter the latter's employ
ment there to make up as fast as pos
sible the shortage slated against him
The warrant for his arrest was issued
and his movements traced but so sue.
cessfully did he elude the authorities
that his apprehension was foiled.
Circulars with his photo and descrip-
ton were sent broadcast throughout
the west and efforts were finally re.
warded by his arrest in that far off
state at Washington.
Sheriff Dickinson is expected to re-
turn with the prisoner Saturday OF
Monday, and his trial will probably
be called at the coming term of cir,
cult court.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
Demand this Year for Valentines Greater
than for Some Time.

Lancaster is in the grip of the val
entine craze. No previous year has
seen such demand for the messages
of the sentimental saint. This dec
larotion is made by the dealers IN the
stores of the city. The counters at
these stores are lined with customers.
The comics, according to the clerks,
are waning in popularity. The great
demand this year is for novelty val
entines. Valentines bearing enigmas
are more popular than any other kind.
The enigmas conceal messages OF love
as sentimental as the old-time verses,
but the fact that the declaration is
hidden in a riddle appeals to bashful
maidens.
Another valentine said to be q
''goodseller" this year is the ''slang'
valentine. A popular card of this
type is made in the form of bag
gage tag. On one side is picture OF
Cupid and the inscription, ''From Gu
pid's Love Store and ''To My Valen'
tine" On the reverse side is the dec
laration, you've been tagging after
me long enough"
