NEW YORK, May 24-The wal

gambler king in particular, has begun
and District Attorney jerome seems
to mean business. The investigation
has been started and the first sensa
tional developments have brought con-
siderable trouble to one of the star
witnesses, Jesse Lewiston "a wealthy
broker, who is said to have been one
of the regular patrons of Canfeld's es-
Establishment. Upon the advice of his
attorney, Mr.. LeWisohn refused to tes-
tify concerning the gambling trans
actions at Canfelds and thereupon
Judge Mcmahon, Of the court of spe-

of court and committed him to the

was afterwards changed to the

the case with considerable interest and

EMPLOYEES Face Alternative.

"This is accountable for the fact
that the shingle mill employees are
willing to cooperate in securing the
closing of shingle mills, to bolster up
the market. They realize that shut
downs must either come or wages be
cut and the former alternative is
more acceptable The mill owners,
however, have not shown an inclina-
ton to cooperate with the men along
this line. Some of them would do so,
but others will not consider the prop
osition. This is in part due to the
fact that combination mills do not feel
the same necessity for the close downs
that is felt ythe strictly shingle mills.

Affects Small Towns.

The decentralization of the lumber
and Shingle market does not affect the
larger cities, but it affects all lines of
industry in the small towns. Where
either the lumber or single mills are
depended upon to support small Wash
ington towns all lines of trade are dull
and the Workingmen are having a hard
time of it.
The interest of the shingle men in
sustaining the organization of manu-
facturers is easily understood. The
single men are anxious to preserve
the scale of wages which they have
been receiving in the past. 1t is re-
cOgnized by these men that it is far
easier to preserve the present Sched-
ule than it would be to restore the
wage scale after a reduction had been
made

SEATTLE, WASH, May 24.-Aside
from the stagnation in the lumber

tirely satisfactory. In the larger cities
practically all the laborers seeking
work have it.
Il have found" said Mr.. Blackman,
that there is a great deal of activity
in the building trades of all the larger
cities of the state. This has given
employment to a large number of men,
and all other trades are prosperous.

there is no trade in the larger cities

abatement in the building trades and
other industries seem to be in good
condition.
The lumber industry, however, is
in a bad way. Both saw and shingle
mills are closing and the logging camps
all over Western Washington are
either closing down or are cutting
down the number of men employed
This has thrown a large number of men
out of employment and there is no di
rection in which they can look for
work.

On Character Building.

Those eminently earnest citizens, and there not few of them, who spend sleepless nights in pondering upon the evils of using the rod as a corrective upon youthful America, will find little comfort in a study of the up- bringing of the man whom the demo- crats have chosen as their standard bearer in this great campaign.
 The aged mother of Judge Parker, in telling recently of his boyhood days, said:
 T began to use the switch on Alton when he was young, and I attribute much of his goodness as a boy and his success as a man to these early corrective measures"
 This, it must be acknowledged, is testimony from a highly authoritative source. Of the switchings, and that there were many of them, there can be no question. Nor can there be any question of the exceeding high char acter of the man who is the outcome of that much-birched youth. This high personal character, more than any other one thing, brought about the nomination of Judge Parker for the presidency.
 It may be that the corrective meas ures did not play the important part in the development of his character that the fond mother imagines; but surely it cannot be seriously contended that they had an i'll effect upon this youth destined to greatest distinction.
 The adage. spare the rod and spoil the child' will continue to do business at the old stand long after the voices of the eminent and earnest dreamers who preach against corporal punish ment have been stilled.

HOT WEATHER IRRITIBILITY.


 The observant reader of newspapers during the past few weeks will, as Mr. Cleveland might say, find difficulty in ridd.ng himself of the conviction that as the temperature rises self-control decreases. The prevalence of futile strikes with their usual accompani- ments Of violence. the causeless riots which mar picnics and pleasure eX- cursiors, the crimes of high and low degree which congest the news col umns, the murders for trivial causes which are so alarmingly frequent, and so on through the list of the daily hap penings. seem to warrant the belief that men think less calmly and at less de- liber2tely in very warm weather than when it is more tolerable in Jempera- ture.
 Very likely this is true. The effect of exposure to an uncomfortable de- gree of heat is, naturally enough, % increase the nervous irritability and make the temper extremely brittle. It is hard to be civil to ones self, and still harder to be patient with others. Per haps there is fever in the blood, or, what is equivalent to a fever, which scarcely permits sane thinking and Well-cOnsidered action. Those so lack ing in self-controI that they become dangerous or even make themselves nuisances for this reason are probably beyond the reach of good advise. To others we would say that it may be well to remember when uncomfortable and saOrt-tempered that others are just as uncomfortable and may be as quick to resent what displeases them. Two cross and overheated persons are rarely good company for for one an other. They may not find it possible to keep far enough apart not to rub elbows, but they can very easily re- frain from unnecessary communion and especially from contention.
 II would be an interesting subject of inquiry whether sudden and ex- trene rises in temperature and espe- cial!y high humidity are marked by variations in the curve of crime. If so the explanation might be that when it is warm the average man keeps out of doors as much as possible. In cities this crowds the street, and by multi plying the opportunities for contact with others increases the friction of social intercourse. Wherever it is even momentarily agreeable to be one is likely to find many. To resent jos- ting and intrusion is natural enough, and physical discomfort lowers the stanGards of self-rcspect and seIf-re- straint To say keep cooT is grim and irritating irony; to say. be pa tient toward all men, even if it involves some effort" is to give good hot weather advice.-New York Times.

Much gold is combined with pyrites, from which separation has been difficult. but the sulphuration by means of special salts at a cherry red heat for d relatively short time produces a disaggregation, and trans forms the pyrites into a product that can be easily worked.

 In comparing the railroad mileage of the old world and of the new, it is found that the latter has 27S046 mics against 242,9O9 for the former In the grand divisions of the earth the m.le- age is divided as follows:

 Of the total the new world has 5 1-3 per cent, and North America alone has A 3-4 per cent. The mileage of the United States alone is about 2O7, 900, as the report of the interstate commerce commission shows; and this is 40 Der cent of the total railroad mileage of the world.
 Of the $34,s64, 342, 600 which had been invested in the worlds railroads at the close of 1902 it is estimated that more than $1S,8OO O0O,OoO have been spent on the 1S4,OOO miles of European railroad and SIG, 6,16O,O 100000 on the 37,OOO miles owned by the rest of the world
 On this basis it is found that the ment of $11476O a mile, while those of the rest of the world average $57, ,O0O9. Great Britains roads represent the highest cost per mile, the figures stand ing at $256, ,S39, while those of Belgium come next with $50, ,239. The least ex- pensive government roads of Europe are those of Finland. Their cost is put at $32, 1O4 per mile. Private railroads in Sweden, however, are estimated at only $22, ,55S per mile.
 The narrow gauge roads of Japan, where such construction obtains large ly, have consumed $38, ,32O per mile; and those of West Australia, which are also narrow gauge with very light rails, represent an investment of s27, ,95O per mile
 From the report of the interstate commerce commission it is possible to draw comparisons between the roads of other countries and those of the United States. While the capitalization of all the roads of the world in June, 1902, was put at $34,964, 342, 900, those of the United States represented a capi- talization of SIP 134, ,1S2,964 at that time; and year later this had been increas- ed to SIP, ,599, ,59O,25S. The capitalization per mile amounts to s63,1S6. The progress of the world in railroad building is shown by the following fig ures. In 1896 there were added to the total 9,769 miles; in 1S97 10,741 miles; in 1898, 1OS64 miles; in 1899, 1S,5S3 miles; in 1900, 1O,SOO miles; in 1901, 16,- 551 miles, and in 1902, 13,33S miles.
 This makes a total of S5,629 miles in the seven years and is an average of F, ,233 miles a year. From 1880 to 1890 the mileage built was the greatest, the yearly average being 15,21S.
 The noticeable decrease in construc- tion from 1901 to 1902 was due chiefly to reductions in Asia, from 4,345 miles in 1901 to 2,535 in 1902, and Africa, where construction decreased from 1890 miles in 1901 to 364 in 1902.
