ASBURY'S BABY PARADE
One Thousand Little Tots Admired BY
Immense Crowd.

ASHBURY, N. j., Aug. 31.-This was
the day of all days in the summer sea-
son at this popular resort. the day OF
the annual baby parade which winds
up the three days carnival celebration.
Old resorters who have visited here
regularly for years were unanimous
in the opinion that the function today
completely eclipsed all of the similar
efforts In past years. The pageant
started from the beach auditorium and
took in the entire length of the board
walk. The floats were more gorgeous
than ever seen here before and the
same was true of the character cos

Steel Trust Employees Get No Profits.


NEW YORK. Aug. 3O.-It is reported
from Philadelphia that the profit-shar
ing of the steel corporation has come
to an end. The plan, as provided for
in the latter part of 1902, was that
per cent should be set aside for en-
ployees, if the earnings should be be-
tween $S0,0OO,OO and $90,000,000, the
fund increasing with the earnings.
AS the earning for the first half of
the present year have been less than
$4,000 600, it is believed the plan is
no longer in operation. 1t was also re-
ported that officers Of the corporation
have found that the profit sharing plan
was not increasing the efforts of its
as they had hoped. Sec
rotary Trimble of the corporation de-
MES that the profit-sharing plan is TO

that candidates be selected for every
office, local. state and national to be
voted for at the November elections,
