William Collins Whitney.

A great and many-sided man was the
late William c.. Whitney, who is laid at
rest in New York city, today. There
are few American citizens who nave
enjoyed such prominence along so
many different lines. In politics, in
law, in business, IN finance, in society,
and ir sport. he had won high name.
and In al! these relations he showed an
unusual ability to make friends and
hold them. He was a son of New
England, coming from distinguished
stock. and the wealth which spoils
many mems lives proved only a
stimulus anG help to him in going from
one success 20 another. But his
notable career was by no means the
result of the advantages which fate
placed before him. Rather was 1t due
to his ability to see an opportunity and
make the most Of it.
The noble tribute paid to his memory
by Ex-President Cleveland, in whose
ton az secretary of the navy. voices
the feelings of all who knew him in
public life. To him belongs no small
degree Of credit for our efficient and
modcrnized navy. and. whether he or
his immediate predecessor laid its
foundation. it is certain that under
him the work made a noticeable pro-
gress aicng the right lines. When
Democracy surrendered to Populism in
1896. he stepped aside, and has since
taken practically no active part in
politics. He never posed as a
plilanthropist, but he used much of his
wealth in helping others, and he
always enjoyed the leisure which he
earned in clean and honorable ways.
American has too few citizens of his
type and his loss is much to be de-
plOre6.

Maryiand's New Senator.

As the result of last falls election one
seat in the United States Senate is lost
to the Republicans, as the Democrats
elected Il maDority of the members OF
the Maryland Legislature. and they
have now after long and somewhat
bitter contest. chosen IsidOre RaynOr
to succeed Senator McComas. Many
ballots were taken before a choice was
reached. as the Democrats We're divided
between Mr.. Eaynor and Ex-Governor
Smith. who was given the active sup
port of Senator Gorman. The result OF
Mr.. Eaynor's election cannot be re-
garded as anything but Il hard blow to
Mir. German in his own home, aud
those who have been booming him for
the presidency haze received a severe
setback. The fact of his defeat in his
own state will inevitably weaken him
in other states and before the coming
Democratic national convention.
The new Senator from Maryland is a
native of that state. having been born
in Baltimore "A years ago. He was
educated in the University of Virginia,
and has practised law in Baltimore
since 1871. He has served in both
branches Of the Maryland Legislature
and as encouragement of Maryland;
and WAS Il member of Congress six
years. from 1856 to 1892. He WAS little
known. however. outside of his own
state. until he came into general notice
rs counsel for Admiral Schley before
the Investigating commission in 1901.
He made his fight for the senatorship
rs an anti-or9anization candidate, and
the result showed both his popularity,
and :he failure of German to dominate
his party in his own state.

How Advertising Killed a Trust

The value of advertising has often
been demonstrated. but it gets new
illustration in n recent instance. where
1t acted as a most effective trust
buster. 1t happened out in Iowa. and
in the achievement there is encourage
ment for all private and independent
enterprises that are seeking to shake
off the domination of monopoiies and
combines. The illustration is pre-
scented in the gypsum industry.
Gypsum is employed to large extent
in the manufacture of wall plaster.
Some time ago when combinations of
capital spread like an epidemic over
the leading industries of the country a
trust was formed to control the
gypsum trade. All the concerns save
one went into n syndicate, and this
exception. which happened to be a
stock company. held to an independent,
course not from any sentimental
antipathy to the trust principle. but as
Il pure business proposition. The
/ syndicate tried the tactics which are
usually found where capital is TRYING
TO corner any particular business. O.
course the gypsum trust had almos
unlimited resources behind 1t. Will,
the small independent concern has
little, but that little was sufficient t
stand the tension of cut-throat com
petition for a considerable period.
After the combine" dropped tn,
prices of gypsum 80 per cent. in tn,
hope of forcing out its competitor, tn,
reduction was met by an equal figure
Then il occurred to the independent

house to advertise that it was free
from any entangling alliance with any
trust. AS the leading spirit tells the
story of his fight against tremendous
odds the method was as follows: We
took all our travelling men off the road
and advertised everywhere and any
where that we were fighting the trust.
The people are opposed to the great
asgregations of capital, and do you
know that we had more business than
we could handle by simply advertising
instead of having half dozen
travelling men out. We did not make
much profit, but we thought that We

could operate a score or more on the

of the people. And it also shows that
