We Also Carry Splendid Line Of Jewelry:

Something. The wealth'of this
country will be in the improve
ments Of the city property and
the productiveness of the soil
in the surrounding country.
This can be accomplished
only in one way, viz; active i'm.
prove ments of the town prop.
erty and diligent cultivation of
the soil thus demonstrating its
productiveness. The first con.
sideration as we'll as question of
the practical investor is, what
interest will the property pay
on the investm ent? The great.
or the produ ctiveness and at.
tractlveness of the property, the
better price it will com.
mand. The price cuts no fig.
ure whatever with the investor.
1t is the producing capacity of
the property or its special at.
Effectiveness. At Vineland i'm
proved land now sells as high as
$2,oOo per acre for the reason
that it returns to the investor
ten percent yearly on his in.
vestment even at that price.

1t has been found that the
cost of of leveling and seeding
the land to alfalfa in these
parts, is far less than first an
ticipated. Few pieces, if any,
have cost more than $15 per
acre on an average. A large
portion has cost less. Fifteen
dollars seem to be n fair avera-
&c. Considering the high
price of alfalfa and the great
demand therefor, the enor-
nous yield and little care and
attention it requires after a
stand is secured, land owners
should have no hcsitency in
putting ia as large area as pos.
sible. Large profits await the
the persons, who starr without
delay and get their land to pro-
duce.

RICHMOND CAR STRIKE

GARRISON TO REMAIN
I'M THE PHILIPPINES

Secretary Root has disapproved the
recommendation of Mai. Gen. George w.
Davis, until recently in command of the
Division of the Philippines. that the
strength of the garrison in that archi-
pelago be reduced next year.
General Davis stated in his recon-
mendation that large force of regulars
is no longer necessary, and advised that
regiments of natives be organized under
the command of American officers. He
advises that the Philippine constabu-
larry be disbanded. and replaced by regu-
larly organized regiments OF natives.
In his disapproval OF the recommen-
dalton Secretary Root orders that the
garrison-ten regiments of infantry and
four of cayalry-remain. Lack Of garri-
son room IN this country is one OF the
Secretary's reason for not ordering
some OF the troops back. Secretary
Root does not express disapproval of
General Davis plan TO orga nize native
regiments.

SAFE BUSINESS RULES
NOT PRACTICED HERE
So Says London Times" in Severe
Criticism of American Principles.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-The Times" to-
day. in an editorial on the financial po-
sition in New York says that 1t is one
of the weak points in the American
mind that people have never learned
that the rules OF safe conduct of bust
ness cannot be disregarded with i'm
punity.
Americans see a very big thing being
done and very big results in the way OF
railroads. tramways. traction. and fac
tories, says the Times" and fail to
perceive that these huge works cost
money. and usually borrowed money
and must earn profits quickly.
Americans are also dazzled by trusts
and combines. the article points out, but
these are successful only in a minority
of cases. because almost invariably the
parties forming the combination are
paid more for the plant than the other
assets are worth.
The Times financial article, COM
menting on the New York bank state
ment, says that well meant attempts
are made to minimize the weakness OF
the present position by asserting that
loans and discounts" include a good
many investments. But. even II this is
true, II would not improve the situation
much, for until last week hardly any
American investments were freely sala-
BILE.
The best railway issues were the only
securities that could be sold for months
past. the editorial continues. and they
have fallen enormously. What has been
wanted is not securities, but free cash
the need for which is not as yet sutIi-
GENTLY appreciated in the United States

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE cotton
market this morning opened much lower
in response to weak set of cables and
good weather all over the South. On
the decline room traders unloaded some
of the cotton acquired last week, and
there was also more or less selling
through commission houses.
The only demand came from local
shorts. and was barely sufficient to care
for the offerings. After the call prices
held about steady around the first fig
ures, without much feature to the
trade. Latest English cables were 4

The labor people and their sympa
thizers sway the primary elections IN
Richmond every time We call them the
tin bucket brigade down there, and he
way they get out and vote AMI make
their friends vote on election dag Is a
caution. Materially they will go against
Richardson. The argument that he is
only doing his duty VIII have no weight
with them. They will remember that
he prosecuted their friends, and ii IS my
opinion that if Captain Lambs oppo-
nents in the Democratic ranks want TO
beat him next time they Will have to
put out some other man than 'Davy'
Richardson
Captain Lamb is very strong in his
district as was shown in the last cam
paign and the preceding one, and from
the present outlook he is likely tc hold
his seat indefinitely

Seated where he could read these
lines. Stephen E. Hall. twenty-seven
years old, whose home is Aurora. Ill.
clerk in the Bureau of Commerce and
Labor, yesterday afternoon sent bull
let from .S2-caliber revolver into his
breast, dying instantly.
Hall was protege of Senator Hopkins
of Illinois, who more than two years
ago secured for him position in the
Census Office, which he left TO accept
the one he occupied al the time OF his
death. He was a man OF reticent char
acter, and little is known OF his family
connections in his Illinois home. No
word has as yet been received from
them.
A telegram was received last night
from Senator Hopkins. asking that the
body be prepared for burial and ship
ment TO Aurora. AS soon as Acting
Coroner Glazebrook had investigated the
circumstances, which left no doubt as to
Intentional suicide. he gave certificate
to that effect and ordered the body
turned over to Undertaken Wright. who
is holding it for definite instructions
from Illinois.
