The o Called Trusts Of
the United States
he Products Which They Control, HE Men Who
Make Them and How They Are Made. :

Of the monopolies listed as mat
ura1," we notice many with very
large capitalization-express COM
panies, electric railways, electric
heating, illuminating and refrigerat-
ing companies, natural and 'manufac-
tured gas companies, insurance COM
panies, railways, telephone and tele-
graph and waterworks.
The great beef trust, which con-
sists of eight corporations, has it's
center in Chicago. An Englishman
says: "Chicago regulates the price
of beef in London, Liverpool, and
Manchester" The Chicag &c Union
stockyards, founded in 1865, occupy a
square mile of space in the heart of
the city; the packing houses have a
capital invested of more than $751;
100000 and employ 5O,OOOmen..
The name of Havemeyer imme-
diately presents itself at mention of
the sugar trust. Three generations
of Havemeyers have been interested
in the sugar industry, and Mr.. H.
.. Havemeyer, of the third genera
ton, administers the main plant Of
the sugar trust, a plant that has an
annual output of 100000 barrels.
The sugar trust by no means mono
polizes the sugar industry, the. "inde-
pendents" proving a strong rival.
The tobacco trust is an american
INVASION of gigantic dimensions. Mr..
George Buchanan Fife, writing in the
Century, says: "The tobacco trust
to-daycommands the trade of virtual
ly every country on the globe save
those in which the business is a gov
eminent monopoly. = y 4 It owns
131 factories in nine countries, and
it's assets in actual property reach
$3.50, 900, 900. The aggregate capital
of the companies. composing it is
about $500, 600, OOO."
The two greatest trusts in the
country are the Standard Oil COM
pany and the United States Steel cor
poration. In 1902, the dividends de-
clared by the Standard Oil company

strictest virtue, and his opportunities
fell upon deaf ears. In his infatuation

GEORGE ~, then prince of Wales, had
never been thwarted before; he grew
violent, declared he could not, would
not 1--we. When he actually attempted
suicide, his frightened attendants rode
in haste to Mrs. F%itzherbert and told
her the prince'si life depended upon her.
She would listen to no proposition but
marriage, and every guarantee of its
legality was given her. She was mar
rled In. her own house, married by a
clergyman Of the English church, min
listers of the government and court
officials were witnesses. For a time
all went well. At table she had a wife's
place. There came a day when there
was to be: a stately court function.
Royalty from abroad were guests. The
wife asked what place was assigned
to her. When: told she had no rank
and must sit among the ladies of the
court, she knew her day was over. Of
this marriage, it is claimed, a son was
born; which was kept secret. The
mothers heart foreboded evil. Under
proper care he was sent to America,
where he married and died. He left be-
hind him two girls, who are at school
in Andover, Mass. Their legitimate
claims may some day be pressed to the
front.
Mrs. Fitzherbert lived to be over so
years of age, and died at Brighton in
the year of Victoria's ascension, be-
loved by all who knew her. She was al
ways treated with distinction and re-
spect by the royal family. Duke Of
Clarence, afterward William w., was
particularly her stanch friend: He had
a liaison with Mrs. Jordan, who bore
him nine children, but he never includ-

Queen Caroline, after her forced mar
rage for political reasons, said in bit

the princes true wife, and a most ex-

ton of $1oo, ooo, 1000. Mr.. Rockefeller,
who. is supposed to own about one
half of the capital stock, need not
be considered to be depriving him
self when he parts with a couple of
millions now and then to add to the
bigness of his university. Mr.. Rookie,
fener's concentration of the oil in
dustries into the present all-powerful
combination has been the theme of
at least two historians.
A New York firm that publishes
a manual for investors, has issued
a booklet on "The Reorganization. of
Industry" in which is given Informal
ton concerning the gigantic enter
prises controlled by Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan and concerning those in
which his influence is dominant. The
enterprises he controls include S.
600 miles of steam railroad with a
capitalization of overs 600, 600, 900; the
steel trust, with a capitalization of
than $3.50, 900, 900; the, ocean
steamship combination whose CAPT.
t%alization as yet is comparatively
modest, namely 81, 100000, total of
over $4,000, 100000. It is told that
Mr.. Morgan once, when he was ap-
preached regarding his monopoliza-
ton of the manufacture of steel and
iron, made the !s.remark: IT have
smashed a trust, not formed: one;"
but Mr.. Carnegie, who felt he had
had enough of industrial life, had in
tended to retire from active partici-
patton in business before the United
States Steel corporation was even
thought of, and it was Mr. Carnegie
who insisted that Mr.. Morgan be-
come head of the corporation when
projected.
The United States Steel corpora
ton, founded in 1901, owns blast fur
naces, rolling mills, railroads., boat
lines, gas wells, thousands upon
thousands of acres of coal lands,
coke ovens and limestone q~uarries.
The Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
Mines, which contains the richest de-
post of iron in the world, are one
of the properties of this corpora
ton. The United States Steel cor
poration is able to produce annually
over $780, 900 tons of pig IRON In
it's rolling mills and steel works it
can manufacture every year 100000
tons of steel. An army: of wage. earn

This makes it hard for the woman
who is not privileged to follow each
fad of fashion in choosing her gowns.
She knows not where to start or
where to stop. She cannot safely
follow the mode of to-day, for the
summer will more than likely bring
her radical departures, yet what
those departures will be are as vet

the mark. No two fashion writer's
venture the same guess as to the
coming skirts. Which one is right?
Which one shall we take as authori-
ty? These questions are hard to de-
eide. especially for the woman who
must make the skirt chosen now do
though the summer, and cannot
change because she guessed wrong.
One eloquent authority c%ongratu-
lates women upon the fact that the
skirt silhouette has not changed. An
other announces calmly that the
skirt full from the waist band has
been accepted without a. murmur.

The DECISION of the federal court
in the merger case has been rem.
dered and was complete victory
for the state, and full vindication
OF the policy of Gov. VanSant, who
mainly was responsible for the in
stitution of legal proceedings. At
torney-General Douglass, also, de-
serves no small credit for the able
manner in which he has conducted
the case. According to the courts
decision, the Northern Securities

violation of the laws of the state,

peal will probably be taken to the

WESTERN CATTLE
EXPOSITION AUTHORITIES ARE
ASKED TO AMEND RULES
AS They Stand at Present All Range
Cattle Are Barred From Compete
ton at st. Louis-An Appeal to
Congress May Be Made, Unless
Regulations Are Changed. T

Chicago, Dec. Al. D. Coburn,
chief of the live stock department Of
the Louisiana Purchase, Exposition at
st. Louis, has been in consultation
here with a committee Of western
range cattlemen regarding the rules
for the admission of cattle exhibits.
The committee claimed that if the
present rules are enforced, the cattle
from the ranges Of the west and south
will be barred as the rules specify
that no animal is admissible unless it
has a pedigree at least on one side,
that exhibits must be individual, and
broken to the halter, and not more
than two In one class. The commit
tee maintained that, owing to the
large ranges and large herds it is i'm
possible to follow individual breeding
and break animals to halter. They
ask that the rules be SO modified as
to permit exhibits in CARROTS, and the
restrictions as to the halter and
breeding be eliminated.
= The C1ydesdale Breeders associa-
ton has made a request that the
time for holding the horse competi.
ton be changed from the middle OF
August, as the weather will be too hot
then, and few farmers can attend the
exposition at that time.

How to Make the Money Go Farthest.
- 1t is argued by the engineers that
the development of reservoirs, etc, in
Montana, alfalfa grown there to be
seaten by cattle on the North Dakota
ranges, would be of more direct ad-
Vantage to the northwest generally,
and especially to the twin cities, than
the expenditure of large sums in North
Dakota. Practically all Of the country
between the reservoirs and the James
fiver.2would increase in value, the
state would invite settlers, the pur-
Chasing power Of it's citizens would
increase, and vast stretches in the
western counties, now. only partially
remunerative, would command a good
price. All of this: would benefit the
twin cities, the trading eenters, of all
that section, To expend the same
sums in North Dakota, on the other
hand would accomplish a very small
portion of the good just alluded to-
land to- that extent decrease the pur-
chasing power Of the people.

senators have repeatedly conferred
with officials of the reclamation ser
vice, and always with the same result
II may say, also, that the reclamation
service Is unanimously opposed to the
