A Turning Point of Success

With the May number of the Four
Track news reaches an important stage
in its remarkably successful career
1t puts out beautifully illustrated,
instructive and entertaining magazine
of 1856 pages, with a bona fide issue Of
100, 900 copies.
This represents an increase within
the past year of nearly 100 per cent,
in both size and circulation, condit-
ion that is the legitimate result of a
growing demand for the magazine, a
determination on the part Of the pub.
Usher to make each issue an improve
ment upon its predecessor and the rec
IGNITION of the Four Track News as a
high class advertising medium by up

The May number contains several
articles of especial interest to old sol
diers and those interested in the his
tory of the civil war. A Worlds Fair
supplement in colors is also a feature
OF the May number.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
a. q. Dun a Co. Report Good Pros
meets For All Farm Produce,


NEW YORK. May 21.-7Reports Of
Increased trade are received from a
few favored points, but the nation as
a whole has not improved its CONNER
cial position during the past week in
b. far,as current distribution of mer-
chandise or manufacturing activities
are concerned. Prospects for the fu-
ture have improved somewhat on ac-
count of the progress made in agri-
culture Unless the crops suffer an
unusual setback hereafter it should
be a good year for the farms, and all
other industries will feel the stimulus.
Lake traffic is seriously interrupted by
the strike, but otherwise the labor stu
alton IS not alarming. Boston reports
weather adverse and trade below nor
NAL, while building operations are also
reduced.
There has been no spring trade as
yet at Cincinnati, owing to low temper
allure, but business broadens at Balti-
more and collections are more prompt.
Leading branches of manufacture are
extremely quiet, the recent slight gain
i'm iron and steel having disappeared,
and transporting interests are not
equaling last years results railway
earnings thus far available for May
showing a decrease of 60 per cent
Foreign commerce ut this port for the
last week was decidedly against this
country, exports of merchandise falling
S1.GJ4,075 behind the corresponding
week in 1903, while imports increased
S1,9TO,9O Gold has gone abroad in
great bulk without destroying the
money market, although rates are
fractionally tirmer.
There was a decided rally in the
grain markets, and cotton also develop
ed little strength. but there was no
aggressive speculation for the long ac-
count in cotton. and frequent liquida-
ton prevented any permanent advance.
Wheat receipts were lOlj,56l bushels
against 1,29S.3l1 bushels last year, and
exports. flour included, were only
1.20LS49 bushels compared with 1872
$50 bushels in 1903.
Liabilities OF commercial Iahures
thus far reported for May aggregated
50. 100 ,5G1. of which $l,529, 700 were in
manufacturing. $1,G096S3 in trading
and SG2O,1I in other commercial lines.
Failures this week numbered 236 in
the United States against 191 last year,
and u in Canada compared with ii a
year ago.

Government VIII Take strong Meas.
uren In Moroccan Outrage.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-A Tangier
report says United States Consul Gen.
eral Gummere, at Tangier, Morocco,
has learned that the brigand band
which captured Perdicaris, an Ameri-
can citizen, and Cromwell Varley, a
British subject, is the same that cap
tured Mr.. Harris, the London Times
correspondent, last year.
Besides capturing the men, members
Of the band assaulted the ladies Of the
Perdicaris party. The British and
American representatives at Tangier
are taking energetic measures to OBJ
tain the release of the captives, and
the Moorish authorities are assisting
them.
Raisuli the brigand chief who cap
tured Messrs. Perdicaris and Varley,
has sent number of his men to OBJ
tain bedding and linen for the pris-
Oners.
MOhammed ell Torres, the represent
alive of the sultan at Tangier, is ne
gotiating with Raisuli.
United States Senator Dryden, at
Newark, N. j., has wired to Washing
ton as follows:
II respectfully urge that you take
vigorous measures to secure the re-
lease of Mr.. Perdicaris, an American
citizeR of Trenton, who has been cap
tured by bandits, and cause the pun
ishment of his captors."
Acting Secretary LOomis has in
structed Consul Gummere by cable to
act with the greatest vigor and de-
mand of the Moorish government that
it take the most sweeping measures
TO secure the release Of Mr.. Perdicaris
even if necessary to accede to the
terms of the brigands. After consulta-
ton with Admiral Taylor, chief of the
navigation bureau the naval measures
resolved on were strengthened consid-
erably. Admiral Chadwick when he
refches Fayal in a few days will re-
ceiye orders to proceed with the whole
south Atlantic squadron to Tangier,
while Admiral Jewell, with the newly
formed European squadron, who is
about three days behind Admiral
Chadwick, win be ordered to follow to
Tangier If the emergency still exists.

"There is only one way to adver-
tise," says an exchange, land that is
to hammer your name, your location,
your business, so constantly, SO per-
sistently, so thoroughly into peoples
heads that if they walked in their
sleep they would constantly turn their
faces toward your store. The news
paper is your best friend in spite of
criticism. 1t helps to build up the
community that supports you. When
the day comes that the newspapers
are dead the people are on the edge of
the grave, with no one to write their
epitaph."

Dietrich of Nebraska.

These be strange times indeed when an United States senator secures ac- quittal from the charge of bribery in procuring a federal appointment by pleading that he had not taken the oath of office, although his term of office and his pay as senator had been begun several months previous, If man is elected senator by legislature to fill term that expires on the fol- lowing fourth day of March, and that man receives pay as senator from that date, it is ridiculous and contemptible to say he does not become a senator until he goes to Washington and takes an oath of office Such a plea is mere subterfuge, and such law is not law at all. It is friendly aid in an emergency, and if such aid be extended to Dietrich, why not to the whole gang of grafters in the postoffice depart ment?
 No decision has of late been made that so amply illustrates modern poli- tics and modern methods as that rem dered in the Dietrich case. All that is needed in any case is friendly judge who can cut out a jury and justice. Dietrich for consideration procured the appointment of one Jacob Fisher to the postoffice at Hastings, in Ne braska, one of the most prosperous towns in that state. He claims now he did it before he had taken the oath of office.
 What will the senate say to this when he returns to Washington? The country pauses for reply. The coun- try stands still to see what it will do. If such senator is persona grata, let us hear no more about postoffice graft CTS, and grabbers of Indian lands, or even boodlers of the Missouri sort. It r is tip to the senate to handle Dietrich Will it do it?

Street Car Mail Boxes.

'I would like very much to see the postoffice department place United States mall boxes on the street cars running from Birmingham to the smaller towns In the district" said d submurbanite last night Such a system would prove to be great convenience to a number who reside along the lines. I understand the street railway company would be willing to cooperate with the movement.
 While the rural free delivery routes practically form a network over Jefferson county now. still, if the cars were pre- vided with mail boxes the mall matter could be handled from the suburbs to the Birmingham postoffice with greater dis patch. This has been the experience in cities where the street car mail boxes are used. All of the cars run In the vicinity of the postoff1ce here, and it seems 1t would be but little trouble to have the mail boxes emptied, say twice in the morning and twice in the after noon or more often If practical"

Would Solve tho Problem.

T observe much talk in the newspa- pers about the necessity of a new and larger union depot in Birmingham" said Q well known business man yesterday who travels much.
 T don't think a new union depot near ly so much a necessity at the present time as in an uptown union ticket of- flee. There is not so much trouble in getting to your train in the station as there is in being able to purchase ticket. Give us an uptown ticket of- flee where we can get our tickets with out the jam and rush of crowd as Is around the little window at the station. Throw open one or two more gates at the station and we will be able to get to our trains without much inconvenience.
 AS it is now. if man gets to the station only four or five minutes before the departure of his train, he is not able to get through the crowd and purchase his ticket. Of course 1t Is well enough to talk about new station and a bigger station located somewhere else, but what we want is immediate relief, and we will get that better through an uptown ticket office than in any other way. The rail- roads owe it to Birmingham and the travelling public to give us an uptown ticket office at once. If they will do that, I don't think they will hear so much kicking about a greater union depot"
