A company with a capital of
100000 has been organized un-
der the laws of New Jersey for the
manufacture of railroad crossties.
The company claims to have dis
covered a process by which it can
manufacture better aud cheaper
railroad tie than the kind now in
use. The railroads of this country
require every year over 100000
orossties. This newly organized
company proposes to put a substi-
tute for timber ties on the market
and thus check the devastation of
the forests.

Yes, He is Right.

Ex-Governor William McCor-
kle. in his address of acceptance
before the joint convention of mi
ners and operators which elected
him chairman, struck a keynote,
when he declared that the state of
West Virginia was more richly en-
dowed with natural resources than
almost any state in the union, and
that it required only the united eff
fort of the laboring man and the
capitalist, working in harmony and
with mutual understanding, to
develop these resources and bring
the state into the rank to which
she is by nature entitled. Hunt

Bones of Columbus.

In the forthcoming volume of
Foreign Relations of the United
States in the Dominican Republic
series is note addressed to the
State Department by Mr. Powell,
United States minister to the re-
public, telling of the courtesies ex-
tended to Gen. Maxine Gomez on
the occasion of the visit of the Gu
ban soldiers to Santo Domingo.
AS a testimonial of their regard
for the general, he said, they al
lowed him to view zone of their
sacred treasures by exposing to
him the casket containing the bones
of Christopher Columbus and per-
hitting him to handle the same"
The relics are contained in a cas-
ket 1Sx10 inches and II inches
deep, and this was the fifth time
they had been exposed. the minis
ter said. In the box, he added. is
bullet. said to have been imbed-
ded in the. leg of the discoverer
and which was never extracted.
They claim from this evidence
presented that the present relics
are the mortal remains of the early
dicoverer, and not those that were
removed from Havana few years
ago" The minister added that he
was permitted to hold some of the
relics in his own hands.
The exceedingly warm weather
in March brought many of the ear
Iy birds to grief. The wintry
weather in April has destroyed
many fine prospects. Many wealth.
er prophets can now be found who
knew all the time that the back
bone of winter was not broken and
a later cold snap would come to
kill the fruit and suppress the
Spring fever. But many people
were disappointed by the sudden
and severe change. After the long
and lonesome winter, we are so apt
to forget or doubt the old saying
that "two swallows do not make
spring" The swallows are as apt
to be fooled as the weather proph-
The fruit trees and vegetation are
presenting distressing appear
ance and the sad experience should
teach them not to be SO previous"

TO BE CONTINUED
The Employers Mastery Passing.

The Industrial mastery of the en-
ployer is passing rapidly. Labor or
CARNATIONS and the laborers' improved
condition are in fact destroying it. AS
a substitute for the old system it is in
evitable that the employer must &C.
cept the fact and act toward the dealer
in labor as he acts toward the dealer
in raw material, making the best bar
gain he can. with no favor but civility.
A whole century Of change has led
from a system in which responsibility
might be shirked (by the master in
oppression of a servant, by the serv-
ant in the hope Of charitable aid
from his mastery to this better system
Of coordinate responsibilities definitely
placed and not to be shirked without
loss to the delinquent. The rise of the
factory system, with its much lament
ed severance of personal bonds between
master and worker, and the organiza-
ton of labor, which the factory system
facilitated, have contributed most to
this fortunate revolution. - Atlantic
Monthly.

Chorus Girls to Organize,

There is general movement on foot
among the chorus girls of the theatrical
profession to become organized for the
purpose of obtaining higher salaries.
The girls claim that in the last year or
two the large theatrical managers have
gradually reduced their salaries. At
present some of the members of the
choruses of the largest opera compa-
MES are receiving only $14 per week
and are compelled to play in as many
extra matinee performances as the
managers see fit to require. They claim
that a salary Of $14 is insufficient for
them to properly live and buy the great
amount of clothing necessary for one
who has chosen such profession.
