me Has to Devise the Machiaery.of
the New Department Of Cona-
aefce and of the Bureaus
Connected with 1t. ::

!. Since Mr.. Cortelyou became secre-
tary of commerce he has been impor-
tuned to make speeches in many Sec
tiofs Of the country at banquets given
BY commercial Organizations. He has
Z declined all such invitations: He tells
his would-be hosts that his business
just at present is to do, not to talk.
He has been called to organize great
and important, department of govern
ment; as yet<he has done nothing but
work at the task of Organization. The
greater tasks to be performed by the
new department when it is fully con-
structed have not even been reached.
At this time his speecheswouldn eces-
gsarily deal with hopes. and expecta-
lions. He says he prefers to talk
about things which have-been accom-
plished. -:
The big task for the secretary of
commerce just at present, says the
Chicago Journal, is to organize the adj
ministrative, machinery which is to
take care of the business of all the
great bureaus which are to be trans
ferred July to the jurisdiction Of
the secretary of commerce. All the
employees of the census, the immigra-
tion service, the geodetic and coast
survey, the bureau of standards and
measurements, Chinese exclusion, sta
tistics, consular reports, labor, fish
commission, steamboat inspection and
the lighthouse board-all these will
have to be paid and brought into order
under the new regime. To do this
without confusion or interruption of
work is not simple task. The book
keeping and accounting feature alone
is no small undertaking. Many Of the
departments will move their quarters.
The new building opposite the Willard
hotel is to be ready for occupancy
about that time, and July promises

FLAG.
Il IL the Creation Of . Loyal Priest
: SD Promises to Become .
Popular E0sign.

Recently there was unfurled and
flung to the breeze at Montreal. a flag
new to the present generation, but not
to those of bygone days. Many per-
sons who had occasion to pass along
Notre Dame street had reason to re-
mark: "What is this?" -.
1t was none other than the new flag
OF the French-Canadian people, and
which, it is hoped, wiz be adopted in
perpetuity as the emblem OF the race
which first settled the country. For
some years past there has been agita-
ton afoot to drop the tri-color of
France, as it does not really denote any
other allegiance to France than Ian
guage among nch-Canadians.
1t, therefore, remained for French
Canadian priest to start a movement

he also promoted Mr.. William Loeb
to the private secretaryship, and this
commendable system Of recognizing
merit he has now carried to it's logical
conclusion by making Mr.. Rudolph
Forster assistant secretary to the pres
ident. Mr.. Forster is a thoroughly re-
liable and capable young man. He was
born in Washington in October, 1872.
He was educated in the public schools
of that city, is graduate Of Columbia
university law school, was appointed
from Virginia as clerk in the United
States commission of fish and fisheries
in 1894, and in March. 1897, was detailed
for duty at the white house. He was
appointed to clerkship in tie white
house in May, 1897, and promoted to ex-
ecutive clerk in May, 1900.

to be great moving day in govern
ment circles.
The bureau: of manufacture, which.
is one of the two new bureaus Gre
ated by the law which made the de-
partment of commerce, is hardly in
condition yet to be the subject of
prospectus. What it will be depends
almostsentirely on Secretary Cortel-
you's ideas of what it can be made to
be. The law is very vague. The act
reads that 1t shall be the.province and
duty of such bureau, under the direc-
ton of the secretary, to ''foster, pro-
mote and develop the various manufac-
turing industries of the United States,
and markets for the same at home and
abroad, domestic and foreign, by gath
ering. compiling and publishing and
supplying all available and useful in
formation concerning such industries
and such markets, and by such other
methods and means as may be pre-.
scribed by the secretary or prescribed
by the law"

Mr.. Cortelyou is turning over in his
mind. He is anxious above all things
to have the bureau practical and USE
full branch of the government. He is
determined that it shall not degenerate
into merely scientific department,
with pail of scholasticism upon it;
nor does he want it to become USE
less machine for grinding out useless
figures and equally useless facts. He
is feeling his way, soliciting sugges-
tion, and trying to get at the sentiment
of the best Informed and most pro-
gressive thought. He knows that his
present work is bound to be most inn
portant, for the character which he
stamps upon the new department it
will in all likelihood carry for many
years to come.

was the purchase of majority of the
stock of the Reading railroad in the
interests of the Baltimore & Ohio and
Lake Shore railroads. When such
transactions as this are to be carried
out, there is room to save or lose mil
lions of dollars. and by his wonderful
Diplomacy Mr.. Schiff saved these mill
lions.
He is perhaps the leading Hebrew of
New York, and there are many monu-
ments to his great generosity, such as
the Montefiore home, the Jewish Theo-
logical seminary, the Semitic muse
UNI at Harvard university, and the
Nurses settlement on the New York
east side. He is trustee of the Baron
de Hirsch fund. and has been treas
urer of Bernard college. Mr.. Schitf
was born in Germany, and spent the
larger part of his business career in
Frankfort, until he came to this coun-
try, over 30 years ago.

colored shoes In the Army.

If colored shoes are not generally
worn, they are popular in the army, as
evidenced by recent contracts given
out for the manufacturing of shoesfor
the members of the United States
army, says the Shoe and Leather Re-
porter. One contract was for 81 900
pairs of shoes, all colored, there being
not single pair of blacks in the or
der. In another order was included SS4
pairs of colored shoes. This gives the
impression that for army wear colored
shoes are preferred. They look better
for a longer period of time with reason
able care than black goods, in the opin-
ion of the army officials. For hot
weather colored shoes are viewed by
sensible people as most common
sense proposition.

Smoke Turned Into Gas,

A novel method of getting rid of
black smoke, and, at the same time,
turning it to practical use, is now be-
ing adopted in some Belgian factories.
The smoke is driven by fans into a
porous receptacle over which flows a
stream Of petroleum or similar liquid;
the smoke is thus caught and turned
into gas that gives great heat, and
can be used for running gas engines.

here. in 1881. the treaty by which the
Sac and Fox Indians agreed to remove
to the Iowa side of the river and leave
the village on the banks of Rock river
which they had occupied SO long. The
fort was 400 feet square, and having
access to water. and carrying large
supply of food, was equipped for a
long siege. There now remains moth

physician, and it will no doubt be eX-

A ranchman in Natrona county,
Wyo., had a heifer killed by wolves. To
get even with the latter, he placed
strychnine in the heifer's carcass.
Within few days he found eight dead
wolves and one coyote beside the re-
mains. The heifer was worth only
s25, and the wolves and coyote will re-
turn to the ranchman something like
$500 in bounty and sale of skins.
