day.
This Is the Centennial Anniversary
Of the Great Inventors
Birth.

Yesterday was the centenary of the
birth Of Captain John Ericsson, whose
fame shines among the great ones OF
two nations.
AS the inventor Of the monitor which
revolutionary naval warfare his name is
inseparably linked to the history OF the
United States. tt was Ericsson who
built the first fast locomotive, the first
practical steam fire engine and the first
steamship to cross the ocean. He
adapted the propeller to warships and
added hundreds Of minor improvements
to steam engines At. the time Of his
death and for many years before, he was
engaged on an engine to be run by the
heat Of the suns rays.
His old home at No. SO Beach street,
New York, which cost him $4,000 In
1864, is now in a very dilapidated con-
dition. There has been talk Of restor-
ing it and making a sort Of an Ericsson
museum, but the neighborhood has now
grown so commonplace and even disrep-
utable that the idea does not find much
favor .+@
The Ericsson statue in Battery park
which has stood for ten years, has been
torn down and replaced by another. Both
statues were designed by Jonathan Scott
Hartley, but he became dissatisfied with
his first work and decided to destroy it.
The new statue was unveiled to-day By
Miss Rachel Innis Hartley, daughter o.
the sculptor.
Ericsson is represented in the statue
as standing in an easy posture with 6
model of the monitor in his left hand
and a partly unrolled plan in his right
The new statue is said to be much more
effective and striking than the old one.

point in the reform and the benign and
aesthetic influence Of structure and

it to be, for the influence Of the struc-

there will be no necessity to have public

children any more Of the home than Is

The Public Is Supreme.

One Of the deplorabIe characteristics of
our age is the unblushing impudence with
which many persons assume that when
ever private profit and public benefit
come in conflict, the former shall and will
find a way to prevail! Such an assump-
ton is corollary Of the omnipotent belief
Of the day that: business is all Of Iife
But every once in a while, notwithstanding
the corruption of councils AMI legislators
and officials. the hog who disregards the
rights and welfare Of the public is re-
minded that tho government may be
diseased and somnolent, it Is after all a
mighty colossus, and that when it sets
itself to oppose his porcine schemes his
struggles are unavailing. #
An interesting case in point has oc-
cured in Boston Some years ago it was
announced that sky -scraper was to be
erected in that historic center, Copley
square, It's proportions being. such as to
destroy the harmony that had been kept
in view in erecting the other buildings
The projectors of the building were asked
to alter their plans, but they declined. The
legislature then passed q, law establishing
such a maximum height for buildings as
would require the omissionGof two stories
from the building in question. Neverthe-
less the owners went ahead with the orig
inal plans, being confident that their
pull would amend thelaw in their favor
The legislature was amenable to the pull
but the governor wasn't. In the face
Of that rebuff the owners Of the build
| ing completed it, and in effect asked
the people of Boston what they were
going to do about it. The owners were
ordered to take off the two uppermos
stories, but they declined to obey and TIL,
case was taken to the courts. Up, up
it went to the supreme court Of the United
States. At every step Of the process tn,
city was sustained, and now the s.eocky'
sky -scraper builders are engaged in, tear
ing down the two objectionable stories.

A. MISSING MANUSCRIPT
Willard Flske Has Gone to Europe t
-- Hunt For It,

Willard .Fiske, professor Of scandina-
Wan languages and literature at Cornell
university, after forty five years Of fruit
less search for lost manuscript has gone
to, Europe to continue the hunt. He is
now at Copenhagen, Denmark, looking
thru the archives for traces Of the docu-
ment
The manuscript is highly valuable be-
cause it contains the first mention Of the
game Of chess by a writer in America.
The treatise was written by Rev. Lewis
Rou in 1874. 1t is entitled Critical Re-
marks Upon the Letter to the Craftsman
on the Game of Chess" :
Professor Fiske saw and handled the
manuscript in 1858. He borrowed it from
Dr. George Henry Moore, librarian Of the
New York Historical society. After Dr.
Moore's death search was made for the
volume without avail DR.. Moore's col
lection was scattered by auction. Profes
sor Fiske thinks the manuscript Is lying
in some attic or hidden in some private
collection. While he is abroad Librarian
Harris Of Cornell is pushing the search
in this country, sending letters to every
librarian in America.

will be directed more towards the expan-
sion Of exports than to the upbuilding Of
internal trade The trend Of the times
is towards lessening Of expenses and
economy Of operation, and it is natural
now to look for some curtailment of new
Industrial enterprise. All this will be
healthy and in the right direction. Our
products meanwhile will begin to go
abroad in. increasing quantity, and It has
been estimated that our exports of agri-
cultural items will show an increase Of
$3.50, 900 from now until Jan. next, as
compared with our exports in the same
period last year. Advices from abroad
say that European financiers are of the
opinion that New York will have to i'm
port more gold than usual in the fall for
the reason that the large amounts raised
as capital in London and Paris by Ameri-
can railroads will keep exchange in favor
Of New York, and the demands of the
crops will likely cause an extension of our
foreign Indebtedness, but an increase in
our exports to the value of $3.50, 900, 900
will mean an offset to our foreign borrow
ings and an improved financial situation
! In New York.
AS the fall season approaches the
| stream Of merchandise flowing into the
| west is becoming heavier. OF all surpris-
ing things in the general outlook the most
surprising is the continued heavy tonnage
of the railroads. There IS no abatement
| of activity save in few unimportant in
stances Merchants in the west, especial
ly the central west, say they are enjoy
ing the best cash business for years and
are unable to accumulate a surplus of
goods in any line. :. Car shortages in the
southwest are a feature, this due in part,
however, to the crippling: Of many roads
by recent floods. The railroads are in
better shape this year than ever, and this
lis a very good thing, for it is likely al
the additional equipment will be needed
this fall to prevent a repetition Of the cal
famines and freight COMPOSITIONS that were
so serious handicap to business durins
the late fall Of last year.

If everybody kept still about bribery in
legislatures until he had convincing proof,
there would be much more bribery and
very little said. Governor. La; Toilette OF
Wisconsin insists that there was corrupt
use of money at the last session of the
Wisconsin legislature. Some will think
it enough to demand the proof, and the
governor not being able to give it, they
will denounce him as blatherskite. The

NEW TIE. FOR KINGDOMS
Third Swedish Norwegian Railway
Opened.


King Oscar formally opened the Cell
ware Narvik railway July IA. There were
two ceremonies, one for the Swedish d.
vision from Gellivare to the boundary and
one for the Norwegian division from the
boundary to Narvik, which the English
have christened Victoria harbor. The cere-
monies were attended by members Of the
royal family and high military and civil
officers, including Premier Lagerheina and
a Norwegian party Of 1870, including Min
isers Blehr, Guam, Lovland, Gunnar Jxnud-
sen, Ibsen and Heftye, the presidents OF
the storthing and both houses and many
others. y - s...., & r.
Every speaker referred in the friendliest
manner to the part that both nations had
played in the construction of the railway
and predicted great success. King Oscar
referred to the new road as the third iror

WHAT THE FLY WAS DOING
indianapolis Journal.

A certain spinster in indianapolis, who
has lived alone in her beautiful and state
ly home for many years, is one OF the
city's most notable housewives. No child
ish fingers have ever marred the pristine
briliance of her mirrors and windows. or
played havoc with the handsome bronzes
and vases in the daintily cared for dining
room.
At the home Of her brother, where seven
children romp from morning until night,
as may be imagined the same exquisite
perfection of housekeeping is impossible.
One day her small niece returned home
after tea party at auntie's, and in an
awed voice said: Mama, saw a fly in
Aunt Maria's house. but (thoughtfully) it
was washing itself.

The Minnesota paper men ask the rail-
way and warehouse commission to protect
their industry by increasing railway rates.
This is another phase of tariff legislation
by railway rates. It is a dangerous prop
osition for the commission to handle, as
1T might easily create a disastrous prec-
sedent. Besides who shall say that the
commission has a right to alter rates to
ers, when they will thereby displease the
Minnesota wood sellers? The commission
might easily be drawn into essential class
legislation.
