1901 were valued at sl, ,69j, s9j, as com pared with @l, 762, ,O2O in 1900. The world s annual production of platinum for the last few years has ranged be- tween l60,00O and 10000 ounces. of which, as far as can be ascertained. Russia supplies at least 10000 ounces, the remainder being obtained mainly from South America.
 During the last two years the price of platinum has steadily advanced from its lowest point, in 1895, of BIO an ounce to $2l an ounce, which was reached in the latter part of 1901. The demand is in excess of the supply, and it is believed that the price will continue to advance. The pure platinum content of platinum sands has ranged in value from SIS to s22 per ounce, and quotations per troy ounce in New York for the ingot metal remained at Sls.2 20 from the beginning of the year until May II, and thence until the close of September it ruled at $20. 50; during October, November and December the price ranged from S20 to S2l per ounce. Osmiridium is quoted at from $6 to Sl0 per ounce."

altar and, after brief prayer, com mences the introit of the mass, which on this occasion is celebrated by him. self. At the end of the confession he takes his place on the throne on the left side of the altar, while the first cardinal deacon removes his gold mitre, second cardinal deacon invests him with the pontiticial pallium. This gar ment is adorned with three black silk embroidered crosses, and constitutes the most sacred and important token of his office.
 But to enumerate the ceremony at all would be too tedious. Needless to add, 1t Is much more lengthy than the crown ing of a temporal sovereign. The most interesting part of the whole proceed ings, probably, is the placing of the tiara upon the pope's head by the first cardinal deacon. It weighs three pounds, and is adorned with no fewer than l9,0W precious stones, of which lS,000 are diamonds.
 As the deacon places the crown upon the supreme pontiif's head he exclaims: Take this tiara, adorned with three crowns, and know that thou art the father of all the princes and sovereigns, the ruler of the globe and on the earth viceregent of our Savior, Jesus Christ, to whom all honor and glory for ever and ever, amen." The pope then rises, and. wearing the tiara, delivers bene- diction which completes the ceremony of coronation.

THE CASE WAS
 DISMISSED
That of the US. Against SchOfield For Malicious Destruction
 of Property.

The trial of Geo. D. Schofield in Commissioner Reeds court on Thurs day on charge of malicious destruc- tion of property" resulted in the acquit- tai of the defendant. Assistant District Attorney E. Coke Hill prosecuted, while the defendant appeared for him. self and made good fight in person. The evidence went to show that the complaining witness, John Caulan and August Pleschert and others were beach mining on the east end of town, and Senator Sehofield objected to the inroads being made on his premises, which he claimed were endangered by the mining operations. The case is said to have several qualifications, among them the question of patent to the townsite, and the claim to the sOwnsite of the NOme-SinOok Mining company.

JIM BEASLEY IN
 THE FIRST CABIN
Drank Ginger Ale JOunce With Senator Hale of
 Maine.

New York, July 20.-The problem discussed yesterday by the cabin pas sengers of the American liner St. Paul, in from Southampton and Cherbourg, was ''Who mixed the gingerale jounce?" It was concocted in the suite of the Hon. Eugene Hale of Maine (according to several voyagers who didn't care to have their names published) by the Senator himself; according to others, James c. Beasley, distinguished look ing passenger with hair prematurely gray, prepared the mixture composed of ''heel tapOf Scotch whiskey, ginger ale and lemon juice"
 MT. Beasley, with two other men who looked prosperous and were trife re- served, not to say enigmatic, boarded the St. Paul at Southampton. The other men are D. R. Dwyer and c. E.. Heron of the United States Secret Service. They caught up with MT. Beasley. after pursuit of T., 900 miles, by way of the Philippines and Aus tralia, at Johannesburg, South Africa.
 Mir. Beasley had been employed at Cape Nome by Uncle Sam and departed, it is alleged. after forging postal orders.
 The Secret Service men didn't tell anybody aboard the St. Paul about their business, and MT. Beasley, en- tirely unembarrassed, had the same privileges aboard the ship as any other cabin passenger. His passage was paid by Uncle Sam. Some of the folks who unsuspectingly enjoyed the companion- ship of MT. Beasley and the detectives were Julia Marlewe, the actress; Dep uty Surveyor Bishop, Col. James El- verson, Jr., of the Philadelphia Inquir- CT, and several young women, who asked the reporters not to print their names. One of the young women de- clared that Beasley had mixed the ginger ale jounce in Senator Hale's suite; the other said she thought the Senator had mixed it.
 Senator Hale refused to be either in- terviewed or photographed. He did say that he hadn't anything to say ex- cept that he had gone abroad in the St. Paul and come back in her wholly for the sake of the voyage.

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, September 25.-R. G. Dun &
 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory features the volume of trade continues large and the distribution of merchandise taxes shipping facilities. Announcement of a concerned effort to restrict produc- tion of pig iron indicates that the sup plies have begun to accumulate. Rail- way earnings continue to show gains for September thus far exceeding last year s by ST per cent and those of 1901 by 17.2 per cent. Traffic blockades occurred to some extent, although the movement or farm products is still unseasonably small. New labor controversies have begun, but a number of serious troubles have been averted, and on the whole the number of men idle voluntarily has diminished. En- | forced ideness in the iron and steel in- 1 dustry is more than offset by the re-
 sumption of spindles at cotton mills, and
 there is great activity at footwear fac l tories, although the margin of profit is
 narrow. Lower prices for the leading az | ricultural staples indicate a general belief l in improved crop prospects. Jobbng trade l Is still making good comparisons with previous years, and while the zenith has been passed in fall dry goods 1t is still a satisfactory season. At many impor- | tant points the weather has been more propitious for retail trade. and collec- tions are fairly prompt, considering the | tightness of the money market. Demand for finished iron and steel is restricted by uncertainty regarding quota tions. and until a more settled condition exists there will be no incentive to place contracts liberally, although it Is certain much business Is under considerable
 Owing to the demoralized condition of the manufacturers, supplies of pig iron have accumulated and 1t Is now generally agreed among leading producers that q curtaiment of blast furnace output is necessary. Encouraging reports are heard as to few branches of the industry. not ably wire and some structural shapes.
 As to woolens. the best business Is noted
 in dress goods, while mems fabrics are still very quiet.
 Failures this week numbered 232 in the United States against POT last year and 19 in Canada, compared with 92 a year ago.

TRADE ASSUMES
 CAUTIOUS ASPECT
Reports of Conservatism Con-
 ing in From All Quarters
DEMAND IS NOT lNSlSTENT I
Dun and Bradstreet Say the Business Outlook Is Altogether Different From What 1t Was This Time
 Last Year-Not Bad Sign.

New York September 25.-Bradstreets | tomorrow will say:
 | Reports of conservatism and even eau
 ton in fall and winter trade testify to | the absence of the spur of insistent de-
 mand, which year ago gave the selling
 side such an advantage. The fewness l of ear shortage complaints is alike of | the later movement of crops, and of dis | crimination In orders by consumers. The | quieting down of demand has become
 more manifest in iron ana. steel, where plans for restriction of furnace output
 are discussed, and finished products lag,
 and in anthracite coal where a number of collieries have been put on shorter time.
 Building activity at New York has not been resumed in full, strikes of vessel men on lakes retard shipments and ad- vanced freight rates and high prices for cotton, with lack of coIrespondingly high CT prices for finished products, check full resumption of operations
 Railway earnings returns are still high ly favorable, those roads reporting for the first half of September showing a gain of 10 per cent over a year ago. IAcldllNtlyt the pest reports come lFOm parts of the northwest due to better weather and crop conditions; the south-
 west which has escaped crop injury. and the south, where, despite crop deteriora- ton and declining cotton prices, the gen. eral outlook is still good. Eastern ad- vances are of fair trade, but quietness in general business is noted in New York. Lumber and building materials are not so active as earlier expected The boot and shoe trade Is quiet and will be quiet CT at the west Pig iron is dull and weak at Chicago. finished products are unset tied and steel interests do not report or- ders as large as some time ago. Plate glass prices are reported cut to shut out Belgian competition.
 Wheat. including flour. exports for the week aggregate 3,0504S0 bushels, against 1909, ,0S3 last week, and 50T,010 this week last year. For twelve weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 36214,6S1 bushels against 59O09,i37 in 1902
 Corn exports for the week aggregate 779, ,230 bushels against 7S7167 last week and 74,952 a year ago For twelve weeks of the present fiscal year they aggregate Ill, ,450343 bushels.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 1855 against ITO last week and 172 In the like week of 1902. In Canada failures for the week number IS against 19 last week and 19 in this week a year ago.

w and SOCIETY


 Miss Mary Rittenberry, one of the popu- lar teachers in the public schools, who returned from her vacation the past week spent several weeks in her former home in Middle Tennessee.
 In chatting yesterday to a group of friends. who were recalling their vaca- ton days. Miss Rlttenberry drew pret- ty picture of the Tennessee valley and of Mareella Falls.
 "Mareella Falls" said Miss Rittenberry, lis beautiful little place in a pictur- esque valley among the hills of Middle Tennessee. In the upper part of the val ley is an immense spring whose waters are as clear as a crystal and icy cold. There are several other springs in this same little valley. but the waters of this one, as they sang on their way down the valley and over the falls, turned the wheels of the factories and supplied the tan yards along their banks
 Tt is said that in the days of long ago the moonshner might be seen almost
 
 to his still which lay hidden away in the surrounding hills.
 'The old factories and tanyards and with them the moonshiner and his still. have disappeared and the saw mill and handle and stave factories have taken their places and are rapidly destroying the beauty of the place.
 The water still leaps oyer the falls and sings on it's way down the valley. but the rocks are being blasted into pieces. the trees are being cut the sawdust and debris are being piled up everywhere and ugly little 'shacks' are being built here and there Surely mans choice errand is destructionv
 In speaking of the Tennessee back woodsman type Miss Ritenberry said that she visited the spot where once stood the home of "Davy" Crockett the Tennes- see backwoodsman, as he was called
 He fought against the Creeks under Andrew Jackson and after the war with the Greeks he was elected colonel of 2 regiment. He represented his district three times in the state legislature and was twice chosen as a member of con gress.
 He was a great hunter and many are the stories told of the turkeys, bears and deer he killed along Shoal creek and the ELK and Obion rivers along whose banks he lived as well as hunted.
 One of al large family, Davy Crock etts educational advantages were very limited. He was strong mentally as well as physically; was honest industrious and truthful; had a keen sense of humor, fair share of good nature and wit; and was quick at reparte
 He was a man among men, but rep resentative of the frontier and not the metropolis. In the halls of congress he was at disadvantage because bis knowl- edge of conditions and things was limit ed and his want of polish evident, but he was noted for his courage, honesty and sincerity.
 1 He was one of the six heroic souls who gave up their lives rather than sur render to Santa Anna at Fort Alamo
 "He declared that he would rather be politically dead than be hypocritically inn mortalzed"
