Newport, R. l., where society disports
itself during the summer months, re-

Saturday afternoon when Vinson Walsh,
son of Thomas F. Walsh of Washington,

nent young members of the Newport
summer colony were injured in an auto
mobile accident. The pedestrian shud-

Dun's Review says that the threatened
boycott of American goods by China
has not yet materialized to any appre-
ciable extent, so far as the port of San
Francisco is concerned. The value of
the exports to China from San Francisco
last month was larger than for any
previous month this year, amounting to
81, 529, 800 against $5S0,217 for the cor
responding month last year. Exports
to all Oriental markets for the first seven
months OF the year are S2O,66O, 800
against 1854, 400 for the same time
last year. This years trade with the
Orient is unprecedented. Japan and
Korea have taken a value of $l3, 265, 100,
and China and Hongkong value of
$6,527 600, against So, 600, 500 and $2,441,
300, respectively, year ago.

There is solid business sense in the
following from our bright contemporary,
the Poultney Journal: 1--WE are pleased
to see our state authorities using all
possible means to suppress netting and
all ouher illegal methods of fishing in
our lakes. Good fishing is far ahead of
rum as an attraction for summer guests.
Ludlow Tribune.
Right you are gentlemen of Poultney
and Ludlow, but may we also add that
an open season on trout during August
would prove an attraction for summer
guests that would result in holding the
visitors another month and not deplete
our streams at that.

A Waif.

An 11-yearold boy, giving the name
of George Samuel Abbott, arrived at the
North station in Boston from Tunbridge
one day last week and from his jacket
hung large trunk tag on which was
written "Deliver to Mr.. Mccarthy,
Boston, Mass" The conductor of the
Vermont train related that the boy got
aboard at Tunbridge with a ticket to
Boston. There was no one to meet
young Abbott when he arrived at the
station, and he went at once to the
waiting room and sat down. From five
to seven o'clock the boy sat in this one
seat, apparently not the least disturbed
because no one called for him. A patrol
man observed his sitting there alone,
and attracted by the tag hanging from
his coat, went up and spoke to the boy,
who stood up and answered the ques-
tions in straightforward manner. The
boy claimed the tag had been put on
him by woman with whom he had
been living in Tunbridge, when he
of the boys jacket was found slip of
paper, on which was written, $50 Ire
mont street" This is the office of the
children's institutions of Boston. The
boy in clear, yet pitiful manner, said
he was born in Charlestown, but had
moved away from there when very
young. His mother, as he remembers,
fell sick few years ago, and he was
taken in charge by family in the
northern part of Vermont. He claimed
that he had always been iil-used in the
families with whom he had lived, and
had often tried to escape. He says he
has sister and brother somewhere,
but does not know whether his father
is living. He does not know why he
was sent to that city. His only direc-
tiOns were to meet man named
Mccarthy. After the boy was taken
to the Chardon Street Home, a request
for particulars was sent to the family

NEW YORK, July 1S.-In the di.

Vice Chancellor Garrison in Jersey
City by George NJ. Meyers, well.to-
do envelope manufacturer in business
at No. 1o2 Chambers street. this city,
against his wife. Clara C. Meyers, a
member of the Jersey City Woman's
Club, Mr.. Meyers testified that one
day he bought a lot of blotters and
put them on the library table, where
his wife would find them. AS fast
as she used them he took them away
and. examining them in morror, the
markings being reversed. he read the
names of persons to whom she had
written.

The husband said his wife receiv.
ed letters and flowers, but she al.
ways refused to tell him who had
sent them. When the letters came
she went to the bathroom, locked the
door and read them. She also wrote
letters, he declared, but would never
let him see to whom they were ad.
dressed.
Meyers testified that his wife told
him she was going to euchre party
in West Slxty-ninth street, this city

The Projected Construction of a Very
Important Water
way.

CUMBERLAND. M. July 13.-1'he
magnitude Of Ike iron and steel inter.
ests in the Pittsburg district and the
determination of the United States
Steel corporation to introduce every
possible economy into the manufacture
Of steel in that busy center, is again
brought before the public notice by
the formation of a company for the
construction aud operation of canal
for the carriages of iron ore direct
from Lake Superior TO PitIsburg. The
cross section of the canal Is to be sui.
fe:ent for the accommodation of yes.
sells Of displacement of 1000 tons.
The preliminary surveys, which are
now under way. indicate that the
length of the canal on the location
which will probably be determined
upon, will be about ITO miles. The
indications are that there will be no
Engineering problems encountered that
are novel or untried.
The topography of the proposed
route OF the canal between the juno
tion of the Allegheny and Mononga.
hela and the Lakes, and the desirable.
lty Of a water route between these
points, directed attention to the prob.
lens as far back as Revolutionary
times. Washington, himself an en-
gineer, was alive to its Importance
and practicability, and the scheme
for its construe ton was regarded by
him favorably. Fifty years later, sur
veys we're made by the Federal au.
thorities and also by the State OF
Pennsylvania, and upon the basis OF
these canal of modest dimensions,
whose naylgable depth was between
four and five feet was constructed, and
gave useful service for period OF
forty years.
Although the original canal proved
remunerative as a carrier of common
merchandise, TIE larger waterway that
is now projected, while 1t will, OF
course, be ayailab'e for general mer-
chandise, is to be built for special
purpose Of enabling the ore-carrying
steamers which now have to stop at
Conneaut, or other lake ports, and
transfer their cargoes to the railroad,
to make the whole journey from Lake
Superior to the Pittsburg blast fur
naces direct. The saving by this all.
water route will be two-fold. In the
first place, the considerable cost OF
transshipment Of the cargo from the
hold of the vessel to the ore bins, or
to the cars, will be saved; and in the
second place, there will be further
considerable saving, due to the fact
that the ore can be carried more cheap
~ by water than by rail. The con-
struction of this canal would insure
the permanent pre-cminence of the
Pittsburg district as the leading cen.
ter OF the steel industry, by placing
it in all respects on an even footing
with the blast furnaces that are To-
Gated on the Lakes: for the advantage
OF shorter, haul of the raw materials
enjoyed by the furnaces at Chicago
and proximity of the Pittsburg fur.

The following story is told ON" A
Kansas City couple, whose marriage
was announced recently: The young
man persuaded the girl to marry him
while they we're in another town Gn
an excursion trip. They came home,
and for two weeks told no one their
secret. One night they were playing
bridge whist with the girls parents.
They had decided to spring their SUR
prise that night, and the young maa
was trying all through the game to ge;
up nerve to do so. Finally he
screwed his courage up. In the mid
die CT a hand he turned to the girls
father and said:
I've something to tell you. Grace
