Makes Too Little by His job.
Pittsburg, Pa.-City Treasurer Sam.
nel Milliken. OF McKeesport, may re.
sign because of too much prosperity
there. He has a nominal salary OF
$3.50 a year. The amount that he re.
ceives from delinquent taxpayers, how.
ever, usually swells his salary to more
than $1,000 a year. But this year the
city is in such a prosperous condition
that there are very few delinquents.
Mr.. Milliken has just figured up that
his percentage cannot possibly run
over S2108.50, out of which he will
have to pay $500 clerk hire. This
will leave him less than $1,000 for his
wears work.

Autumn Begins Vol.

The autumn begins with business
active everywhere except among the
cotton mills, though it is not all that
could be desired among the woolen
mills. Speaking generally, manufac.
turing plants are busy, with plenty OF
orders ahead. and the distribution of
goods is proceeding on an enormous
scale. Dun's index figure shows a
very slight increase in general prices
during last month.

Fooled Ambition.

The late w. E. Henley once met Rob-

an equipment which ought to have
made him their peer. Stevenson put
his failure down to the weakness of
his lungs. Perhaps you are right,

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1S.-"The wage

These words were contained in an ad-

the Society of Ethical Culture of this
city. OF scarcely less interest than his
prediction of new labor system was
Colonel Wright's approval of a plan to

latter, however moved irregularly,

Little Tug Makes an Attempt
to Steam to Southern Ports,
but Big Seas Send Her Back

The old sloop-of-war Marion, which
is now used as training ship, is being
,modernized-that is. so far as her inte-
rior is concerned. She is lying alongside
of Harrison-street dock. where she has
been for several months past. A long
time ago she had outlived her useful
ness in Uncle Sans navy as a fighting
craft and in 1897 she was turned over
TO the Governor of California to be used
in the interests of the naval reserve of
this State.
She cannot go out to sea, as her boil
ers are in bad shape, so she is tied up
alongside the dock. and there fulfIls
the requirements that are expected
of her.
Some time since suggestions were
made to give her the advantage of
modern improvements, but the Gov
ernment had no funds to be applied in
that channel, and the State thought
she was we'll enough off as she was.
Colonel G. w. Bauer and Lieutenant
Schilling, however. decided that inn
provements were necessary, so at their
own expense they are trying to make
her interior up to date Electric
lights are being installed all through
the shin, two broad companion ways
have been put I'D, five new hardwood
lockers have been built in the fore
castle. and altogether she presents a
thoroughly inviting appearance . The
officers in command are now con-
templating putting in a fine new hard
wood deck, but have not yet come to

spseial pi.patch 70 rhe can.


PORTLAND, Dec. 15-With a clear
track and a right of way across all
America a special train sent out by
order of e. H. Hartman raced from
New York to Portland in eighty-five
hours to bring Robert L. Gerry and a
special physician to the bedside of
Peter Gerry.
The sick man is the son of Elbridge
T. Gerry. the millionaire philanthro-
pist of New York, and was member
of the Hartman party on its tour
through the West. He is in the hos
pital here with typhoid fever and is
conyalescent. His father originally
intended to come on the special, but
at the last moment decided to come
the next day with his wife and daugh-
ters on a second special.
Young Gerry's improved condition
made this unnecessary. Mr.. Harri-
man left for the East this morning as
soon as the Gerry special got in. No
particular effort was made to break
the transcontinental record, but the
train with two passengers made the
fastest time ever made between Port
land and New York.
