1oNesTREEr LOST GETTYSBURG.

LONGSTREET LOST GEITISBU EG.
We have said that it is rather With
regret than reproach that Gen. Cor
don marks what be believes to have
been Longstreet's fatal shortcomings
at Gettysburg. His deliberate deduc-
tions from all the evidence obtainable
are set forth in footnote to page 16O
OF this volume. To Gen. Gordon it
now seems certain that impartial mill
tary critics, after thorough investiga-
tion, will consider the following facts
established: First, that Gen. Lee
distinctly ordered Longstreet to attack
early on the morning Of the second
day, and if Longstreet had done SO
two of the largest corps OF Meade's
army would not have been in the
fight; but Longstreet delayed the az
tack until o'clock in the afternoon,
and thus lost his opportunity of oc-
cupying Little Round Top, the key to
the position, which he might have
done in the morning without firing a
shot or losing man. Secondly, that
Gen. Lee ordered Longstreet to at
tack at daybreak on the morning Of
the third day, and that the latter did
not attack until ? or 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon, the artillery opening at l..
Thirdly, that Gen. Lee, according to
the testimony of Col. Walter Taylor,
Col. S. G. Venable and Gen. A. L.
Loug, who we've present when the Or
Se- was given, ordered Longstreet to
make the attack on the last day with
the three divisions Of his corps and
two divisions Of A. P. Hills corps, and
that, instead of doing so, Longstreet
sent only $4,000 men to assail Meade'S
army in the latter's strong and heavi-
~ intrenched position. Fourthly,
that the great mistake Of that halt
on the first day would have been re-
paired on the second, and even on the
third day, if Lees orders had been
vigorously executed, and that Gen.
Lee died believing that he lost Gettys-
burg at lastlby Longstreet'S disobedi-
ence of orders" Referring to state
ment made on very'high authority,
that Gen. Lee said some time before
his death that if Jackson had been
with him at Gettysburg be would
have won in that battle a great AID

Mr.. Reed,s Intended Leisure.

1t is given out that the late ex-
Speaker Reed had made plans to retire
from his law business in New York.
Three years practice, with incidental
sure-thing tips in Wall street, had
given him a competency. He proposed
to crown his career with a few years
of agreeable leisure, spending his win
tiers in Washington and his summers
at his home in Maine.
No mar had. by a wealth Of things
accomplished, better EARNED the right
to rest. Yet it is easy to conceive that
into Mr.. Reeds planning for the quiet
evening Of his days there entered no
thought of absolute Iidleness. Mr..
Whitney retired, but n9t to loaf. Mr..
Carnegie retired, but lis among the
busiest Of men. 'sTomA'' Reed would
have been constantly reminded through
the fruits of his brainI and pen that
he was still a worker-1ot a drone.
Leisure earned, as it would have
come to Mr.. Reed, WOULD have been
but an increase of resource-fresh cap
ital Of time to be invested for higher
uses. 1t is a part of thk public calam-
ity in the case that such an intended
leisure has been merged Into amending

An Automatic Nut Machine

By a recent invention, known as the
Ray automatic nut machine, it is claimed
that about 10000 of these articles. com
Plete and finished in every particular, can
be turned out in the course of one work
ing day, with little or no attention. The
stock is fed to the punch in the shape of a
long tape of metal from a reel. The punch
plunger pierces the hole and cuts the nut
from the blank strip. The nut is then car
tapping spindle. After the thread has
been cut the tap is reversed and backed
out. A tapping spindle at each side Of
the machine provides for the alternate tap
ping and carrying of the nut. While one
nut is being tapped under one spindle an
other is being punched and carried for
ward under the other spindle, SO that there
is no time lost. The machine can be ad.
1usted to make any style or size of nut.

THE INCREASE IN CRIME
Criminologist Declares Autos, Troll
leys and Telephones Responsible.
DR.. Macdonald Says States Having Great
est Intelligence Exceed in Poverty,
Insanity wickedioss.

Washington, D. C.-Automobiles, cleo.
trio cars and the telephone are respon-
sible for the increase in crime, insanity,
suicide and other forms Of abnormal
ity, according to a remarkable report
made to Congress by DR.. Arthur Mac
Donald, Criminologist of the United
States Bureau Of Education.
DR.. Macdonald argues these inven-
tions cause people to exercise less and
think more.
This, he says, puts an abnormal
strain on the nervous system as COM
pared with the muscular system.
States having the greatest intelli-
gence and education, DR.. Macdonald
says, also exceed in insanity, suicide,
juvenile criminals, diseases
and paupers.
Dr.. Macdonald, 1or you may become
a criminal"
He claims one of the reasons for the
increase in crime is the decrease in con-
sumption Of meat and potatoes and the
tendency toward less solid and staple
foods.
"The less cost of living and the in
crease of wealth, with the luxuries of
the table, have tended>to o~verheating,
which, in connection with lack OF exer-
else, has had its evil effects and doHbt:
less produced al additional reaction on
the nervous system. When the nerves
are u%nstrung by overpressure the will
may become weak. depression and pes
simism set in and loss Of ~self-control
follow with its consequent abnormal
actions leading on to crime and other
social evils.
In the statistics of crime some spe-
cial points may be noted. The youth,
as compared with adults have COM
mitted more crimes as society has de-
veloped. Suicide among children has
greatly increased; this might be re-
garded as a symptom of diseased pre-
cociousness.
1.-THE recent rapid development of
women by entering more and more into
the work of men, a transition involving
great strain, seems to have some I'M
welcome Accomplishments. In Vienna,
for instance, general paralysis, a mans
disease, is increasing among women.
In Belgium insanity and suicide have
been growing relatively faster in wom-
en- than in men.
If we shake the tree the bad apples
fall first. So in periods of rush and
strain the weaknesses of human nature
become more apparent. But this in
crease in evil may be only a temporary
one, DUE to the necessary pressure of
adaptability to modern civilization"

IRON AND STEEL Q 0
Great Increase of Production In This
Country For the Past Year.

Washington, d. CA striking evil
dence of business activity in the United
States at the present time is found in a
comparison of pig iron statistics for the
year just ended with those of earlier
years, as compiled by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics. Recently pub
lished estimates of the production Of
pig iron in the United States during the
year 1902 put the total production at
H. 900 tons.
This is an increase of nearly 2,0GO, GOO
tons over last year and is more than
double the production of 1896. The
steel production of the year is esti-
mated at 100000 tons, which is prac-
tieally fifty per cent. more than that
OF 1900, and nearly three times as much
as that of 1895.
This growth in the production of iron
and steel in the United States placed
the United States several years ago
at the head of the worlds list of iron
producing nations
