One Of the largest and most noticeable

National Casket Co. on their mammoth new
factory at Nashville, Tenn, made on a wire
frame with aluminium letters SIX feet high
and one hundred feet long, which can beread
from a long distance by day, and, where re-
produced in electric lights, can be read even
further at night.
This is the concern that is called on to fur
nish easkets for the most prominent people
everywhere, including among its recent or
ders. caskets for Presidents William Mckin-
ley, Benjamin Harrison and the late lament
ed Gen. John B. Gordon, and yet whose
goods can be had through the smallest I'M

From the fact that they are called on to
furnish caskets for the best citizens every

GAIN ADMISSION BY FRAUD.
Statistics Show That Many Chinese
Falsely Claiming American Ma
tivity Are Admitted.

The director Of the census has pre-
pared a statement explaining the dis
crepancy between the number OF male
and of female American-born Chinese
In the United States. The returns ofthe
twelfth census show that of the 9,01O
Chinese claiming American nativity
1861 were males and 1858 females. The
director expressed the conviction that
the preponderance of males is due to the
fact that many male natives of China
have fraudulently secured admission
asAmerican born. The conclusion is an
nounced as follows:
The results OF the compilation show
that of 6,657 Chinese males reported az
born in the United States, probably 2 .231
were really born here and 1926 were
cases of false returns, and of 1858 Chi
nese females reported as born in the
United States, 2,231 were really born
here and 122 were cases of false re-
turns. The true number Of Chinese i'm

MOTOR A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
He Claims, Will GO 432
Miles an Hour.

A mile and three-tenths in Is sec
onds is the speed promised, by Prof
Albert C. Albertson, president of tbs
Electro Magnetic Railway Construc-
ton company, of New York city. By
July l he expects to have in operation
in Staten island a railroad equipped
with his new magnetic motor. He has
figured it all out with a model
According to Prof. Albertson's time
schedule, this train will travel at a
rate of about 432 miles an hour, which
Is approximately five times as fast as
the swiftest express in the United
States. He says he himself does not
yet know the exact maximum of speed
thai his invention can attain to, but is
convinced that it can haul a train
along a straight track at more than
400 miles an hour.
The rails of the Staten island road
rest on a steel framework eight feet
above the ground. The object Of this
Is to give the train what the inventor
regards as absolute immunity from
wreck. The wheels are to run on rails,
and then to make sure that they can
not jump the track magnets will be
run along under the rails. No matter
how high is the rate of speed reached.
Prof, Albertson says, this mode oj
construction will effectualIy prevent
the train from leaving the track.
The principle of the invention is
so simply that even q 1ayman may
readily understand it," said the inven-
tor. Il have given seven years to its
study and perfection"

One evening, rather late, DAILY and a
commercial traveller entered the Fifth Ave.

ward his companion, said:
MY friend and l were at meeting of
the army tonight. The captain, after his
address, passed through the audience,
questioning the people. Coming to my
friend, he said
What is your business, sir?'
" I am a commercial traveller, was the
answer.
And are you saved?'

FACILE OVERCOAT THIEF,
His Latest Trick Is One That Is Hare
for the Victim to Catch
Him At.

With the coming of warm weather

~ expects you to make it good now-he's
been educated out of that idea-but he
feels grudge against your establish

This is one reason why my people
here are always on the lookout for the
overcoat thieves. We have nabbed a
number of them, but during the winter
they played a game that was new to me,
and was hard to beat

made should see the move and take d.

would offer smiling apology for his
error. On the face of it, the matter was
only one of a mistaken identity in over
coats. The foiled thief would remove
his own overcoat from the hook and
walk out without awakening any suspi
cion that he was anything but absent
minded. In this way he would cover
his tracks and avoid the annoyance of a
ride in the patrol wagon. Neat and sim
pie, isn't it? The trick has parted many
overcoats from their owners"
