"A man who has been an intimate friend of Charles M Schwab for many years says: The world wonders why schwab is so strong with the steel folk. Perhaps there are score of men each of whom would make just as good a president of the steel trust as Charlie, but it is not as steel man pure and simple that he is in such request. Schwab's great power lies in his abil ity to handle men. He is the ablest director of labor that the world ever knew. The vast army of steel-workers trust him implicitly. But for him there would be strike after strike. Undoubt- edly he has saved the corporation many millions by his amazing influence over the men in the mills and furnaces.
 A Scotchman travelling in Russia att tended service in a Greek church, and had his attention riveted by gigantic attendant in the procession, who four ished an asperge with great skill, ut tering the while some words which seemed familiar to the tourists ear. Listening intent1y, he made out the sen- tence to run: Its jist a pickle O clean cold water. If it does ye nae guid. it does we nae harm" After the service he sought cut the attendant, who took him into side chamber and disclosed himself as Presbyterian Scotchman who had wandered in many lands and had temporarily taken service with the local Greek priest.

THE TENT CATERPILLAR.

One of the most conspicuous of our insect pests is rather beautiful larva known as the American Tent Cater pillar, whose ravages are only too familiar to those of us who have had our fruit and shade trees destroyed by this voracious eater of leaves. Even those who have not suffered personal loss cannot have failed to notice the wonderful white tents which this insect has pitched in hundreds of trees along the country roads, and in the orchards everywhere. Each of these tents Is the headquarters of a devastating army, which for weeks pour out over adjoin- ing branches, stripping them of their leaves as completely as though they had been sheared. The history of one of these armies, which have had under observation for some time, is about as follows:
 One warm night last July, brown moth, known to science as Clisio- campa Americana and to the rest of us as the American tent caterpillar moth, alighted on wild cherry tree, and near c lOAh OA OiiC ol tItE SWlSS SltC -ldEu d mass of two hundred and twenty eggs. This egg mass surrounded the twig and in it's general shape reminded one of the joints which plumbers make in pipes. Having laid the eggs, the mother moth had seemingly fulfilled her mission in life, for soon afterwards she died a natural death. But the eggs on the wild cherry tree began to develop, and before the cold weather of late autumn came on, almost every egg had inside it tiny caterpillar. The caterpillars did not attempt to come out of their prisons, but remained quiet until early this spring, when the cherry tree began to put forth its leaves. Then each little prisoner gnawed a hole in the top of his own egg-shell. and walked out on the egg mass As he did so, he began to spin a thread of white silk, which ad- hered to the surface he passed over, and which, with the threads being spun by his brethren, would give secure foot hold for all members of the family. After resting for 8 short time on top of the empty egg shells, the entire little colony began to move down the branch, laying their silken roadway as they went Presently they arrived at 8 large

The New York Times Is Now Appearing Every Sunday IMPROVED AND ENLARGED

A departure of the Magazine Supple ment which accompanies each number of the Sunday Edition of The New York Times is the introduction of Cartoons and Illustrations. The many bright, breezy, entertaining ar ticles are frightened by illustrations from the pens of wellknown artists.
 New features will be constantly in troduced to improve the Magazine but the old friend, The Man in the Street, will remain to amuse people with his bright, chatty, and clever stories of men and women who figure prominently in the news and events of the day.

coNceNTRAToR AT DENYING.

I. | Bennett, who has been the chief factor in promoting the new national bank at Deming, which will open about September 1st, and which Is to he known as the Deming National. says that mining operations in that section are booming.
 Some capitalists have just puT- chased an old iron foundry, he says, and are going to convert it into concentrator for working ores from the F1oritP mountains.
 Mir. Bennett has great confidence in Deming. both as mining center and as a future commercial metropolis.
 
 MT. Carson recently made trip through the Globe district and is en- thusiastic at the prospects continually coming to light in that vicinity. Speaking of the Globe country. MT Carson said: There is country worth keeping your news eye upon. The management of the Black Dia- mond have just let contract for the building of seven mile pipe line to
  Black Diamond. The great draw back at the Diamond has been the lack of sufficient water with which 10 run their concentrators. There is a feeling now that this obstacle is thing of the past, for with the comple- ton of the conduit they expect to have enough water for all purposes and to waste. And by the way, the pumping plant in connection with this undertaking. while you hear very little said about it, is the largest in the ter ritory; it beats the much talked oi Tombstone plant by a great margin.
 
 R. J. Carson. travelling representa- tive for the Fl Paso house of the Mine and Shelter Supply company, was in Bisbee this week and in con versation with a Review reporter, stated that he has never seen such 6 stable growth anywhere in the south west.
 The mine and smelter people have just billed an order for a hoist to be put in at the Calumet & Bisbee, a prospect that has already hit ore, and from which great things are ex- pected in the next few years.
 At the Middlemarch, in that dis. trict, Superintendent O'Gorman has more than enough water with which to operate his concentrators. They have developed a flow of 50,000 gal Ions per day. As result of this fort unate development there is feling of satisfaction throughout that section that is good to see, and bodes nothing but beneficial results for the pros perfty of the neighborhood It has imbued the people with a great deal of confidence seldom surpassed in any mining country"
 Unprecedented activity in the in. 5tallation of modern machinery no@ characterizes the field of mining oper. ations in the Warren mining district There is scarcely a prospect in the vii c1nity of Bisbee where one can 20 an l not find it's owners putting in a hoist or more modern equipment in one department or another.

RULING BY VAN HOLDERBECk.
hstADilshes Precedent OF Great
Importance to- RAILWAYS.

Tacoma, Wash, Dee. IA State Hor-
tlcu Commissioner Van Holder
becke has established precedent of
great Importance to the RAILWAYS. In
necld'ng an appeal use from the Spo.
Kane Fails y Northern railway. the com
missioner sustaius the apprni and holds
that when railroads accept nursery
stock which Is brandt d inspected" ;" they
are not TO lose the freight charges if the
goods are afterwards found TO be in
Iected, but that the nursery agent must
pay all charges and take his chances of
the stock being passed by the county
inspector.
The decision is of considerable import
ance TO the railways for the reason that
II makes quite clear the fact that thew
VIII be held responsible for the destruc-
ton OF nursery stock shipped into the
state without having official iuspection
marks, and which on inspection at the
point OF delivery is found to be infected.

FuGitives Engage in Fatal Fight
and Apparently Have Made
Successful Retreat.

Placcryille, Cal, Aug. 3.-The con
yicts who escaped from Folsom prison
are still at large. The five who en-
gagged in a fatal fight with the pur-
suers at the Grand Victory mines,

successful retreat. In their haste TO
get away from the militia and sher-

hillside where the conflict occurred.
The dead bodies Of Festus Ruther-
ford and W. c. Jones, the two militia
men who were shot by the conyicts,
were found this morning where they
were shot. Jones had served in the
Philippines as a member of the First
Tennessee and the Thirty-seventh vol
unteer United States infantry. Al,
Gill, the national guardsman who was
shot through one lung, is not expected
to recover. Another victim of the

resident of this district. He is hard
Of hearing, and, failing to respond to
an order to halt, was fatally shot by
