Gently started in this city is melting
with good success, and the men at the
head of it are planning, as tie business
grows, to add to its facilities and in
crease its efficiency. The enterprise is
one in which several local persons are
interested, and they believe that the
New Haven public will give it the sup
port it deserves. The company sup
plies messengers to any part of the
city for ten cents. Letters and parcels
are delivered with the utmost dispatch,
and bonded and mounted messengers
are supplied if required. The main
office Of the Line is centrally located,
at T63 Chapel street. Room 4, and can
be called by telephone at any time, thu
number being "2229," The Line in it's
employment of boys gives preference
to those that are recommended and are
bright, and consequently has unusually

ct. The volume of dealings fell to about
half million shares. The substance of
the recent furious activity in the trad
ing in Erie left little to the market This
sudden subsistence had much to do
with the suspicion, which repressed the
dealings in stocks. Yesterdays trans
actions in E.ie of over 100000 shares at
net change for the day of half a point
struck the traders as inconsistent with
the idea of competitive buying Of the
stock for control. This suspicion was
reinforced by the action Of the stock to-
day. After a momcntary advance Of a
small fraction, the price Cell back to
below last nights in a way suggesting
of realizing of speculative profits. The
continued liquidation in Reading also
created a bad impress upon speculative
sentiment. This was not dissipated by
the marking up of ontario and Western

Of Chesarcak and Ohio and Hooking

TRUSTS AND GIFTS.

Asst year was a record-breaker in many things
but not in everything. 1t fell short OF the
- previous year in the amount OF capital involved
IN new industrial organizations and it also fell short
OF the same year in the amount OF donations made
by milonaires in the United States to various pub
lie institutions In the respect there is clearly
reaction against the excessive tendency toward the
organization OF trusts which was so marked in 1901
and in the second respect it seems that the multi
nnillonaires of the time have now completed their
big foundations and are to do no more than
contribute a million or so here and there to help
something along
The New York Journal of Commerce has com
piled figures of industrial organizations for the year
They show that the stocks and bonds OF the compa-
nies organized in 1902 foot up $1,1I22o525o against
So 2So5475, COO in 1901. less than billion dollars
in 1000 and well over two and half billions in 1900
The capital and bonds for four years amount to
Sz,536 200 The capitalization of rivals of the
trusts formed in three years $482 100000, and OF
miscellaneous companies in three years $322I $50
Ii will be seen that if the stocks and bonds OF the
great steel trust were deducted from the total of
1901 there would still remain enough to surpass the
total OF last year Whether the check in the deve-
opment of such organizations be due to lack of
further industries capable of consolidation or to a
fear of legislation directed against trusts does not
appear 1t is probable that each OF those factors has
had something to do with the decline in the rate OF
organization. To have established trusts with total
capitalization of than seven billions and smaller
corporations with total capital of more than three
billions within four years is however an extraor-
binary achievement and it is strange there should
be temporary slowing UP until the public has a
chance to look around and study the situation
The Chicago Tribune has compiled all the dona-
tons for the year when given in OF $4,000 and
upward 1t reports the total amount at Sz7 3oz 10Y
for the year, as compared with $I23SSS725 for 1901
In the list for 1892 account is taken OF the raising

contributions for the fund have extended over pc

to 1902. The report goes to say that OF the total
amount OF donations there given to educational
institutions $28,I5o0o3; to charities, S565I9oo4; to
churches, $4Soo,7oo; to museums and art galleries.
S2SS6,ooo, and to Libraries $4,o7o9 300.
The list OF the larger donations runs thus: Estate

100000; Priscilla P Cresson, Philadelphia, to
Academy OF Fine Arts, 100000; J. D. Rockefeller to

would have to be a liberal subsidy.
The extensive improvements Of the
Devonport dockyard are colossal and will
be expensive The contract for the work
was let two years ago and it is to be com
pleted by 1910 at a cost of So, 100000. The
existing dockyard. consisting of Keyham
and Davenport, has been found entirely
inadequate to modern requirement, as
only two of the seven docks had sufficient
length to take in vessels of 400 feet, and
battleships built at Davenport had to be
docked at other yards. The Improvements
consist of a tidal basin ten acres in area
and a closed basin of thirty-flve and a
half acres, with which four drydOcks
communicate. The depth of the two ba-
sins is thirty-two feet at low water, and
the docks vary in length from 470 feet TO
745 feet, with a uniform breadth of 95
feet. Three thousand men are at work on
when the contract is completed Deven-
port will be the best equipped dOckyard
in the world.

The inhabitants of the Cornish village
of Downderry were surprised one morn
ing last month to find lying high and dry
on the Longstone a French torpedo boat
without a crew. The boat was resting
upon a soft ledge of sand and was got
afoat after considerable trouble by the
aid of men from Davenport. 1t was
learned subsequently that the boat was
being towed from CherbOurg to Brest and
broke adrift from a torpedo boat-destroy-
er during a gale and disappeared.
a stupendous blunder has, from all ap-
pearances, been made in the design of the
ten $500 ton armored cruisers for the Brit
