increased volume in both freight and
passenger departments. Lumber
trading has been slightly checked, but
is still above the average.
Boston-Fall goods are attracting
some attention for early delivery after
the July holidays. AT first hands cot
ton goods are firm, but many home
buyers are holding off in the belief
that break must occur. The manu-
featuring end of the wool market, while
quite active at present, is disturbed by
the already high cost and upward ten
dency of raw material. Leading job

fancy ginghams Wool is more quiet,
buyers waiting for betten spot selec-
tons. but values are very strong.
Philadelphia.-Th wholesale dry

Manufacturers of clothing are receiving
good orders from statesmen for fall and

neapolis.-Normal trade condi"
tons have been restored by warmer
weather and cessation of the long
continued rains. Stimulated by, bright
sunshine, spring wheat is making good
progress and while the volume of mer-
chandise moving is not at top figures,
iobbers express satisfaction with the
situation and regard underlying condi-

The Nose for News.


AS general rule daily newspaper
handles it's news thru two departments,
local and general The local depart
ment has to do with the news of the
immediate locality in which the paper
| is published. The general department
handles all other news. Sometimes the
work is divided into sub departments,
such as sporting, markets, etc. but
these are usually under direct super
vision of the news editor. The manag-
ing editor directs the workings and
supervises all of the departments but
he necessarily depends upon the heads
of each to make them efficient. In the
news departments this efficiency is
dependent upon the correspondent 1t is a
matter of supreme Importance that the
paper be in close touch with every inn
portant center in the field within which
it circulates. More than that it should
be in touch with every village, hamlet
and cross roads Ii it's field is the state
| it should be in touch thru it's special
correspondents with all parts of the
commonwealth. The most insignificant
spot in the state may be the point at
which the next big news event will oc-
cur and the up-to-date, newspaper
seeks to be the first to tell the story.
The securing of good correspondents
is one of the difficult problems which
confront the publisher. This is not
because of any lack of applicants. The
percentage of people who have at some
time in their lives written the local
items for their home paper and had
ambitions for more important work in
that class of literature" is not incon-
siderable. AS a general rule after
few commendable efforts and the sat
isfaction of seeing their embellished
sentences and good natured pokes at
friends and neighbors cut Ito mere
statements of fact or perhaps consign-
ed to the waste basket for one or
hundred reasons, they subside, and de-
vote their attention to more profitable,
if not more edifying business.
1t is sometimes difficult to find a re-
liable and active correspondent. Oc-
casionally we find one who becomes
too active and then he is called
"stringfierd" but we may talk about
that species later. The news editor
has mighty friendly feeling for a
frst-class and accurate, trustworthy

GIRL FORCES MONEY ORDERS.
Miss Lydia Engelke Creates Hubbub
In Postal Money Order System.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE entire
postal money order system of the
United States has been turned upside
down by Miss Lydia Engelke, 81 years
old, who, it is alleged, issued forged
money orders from the sub-station of
the postoffice at Fourteenth street and
Sixth avenue, this city. Miss Engelke
is missing, but several postal detec-
tives are on her trail.
All Of the outstanding blanks are
being called in and new blanks, like
express orders, are being printed at
Washington in a rush. The new order
when torn from the book by the postal
clerk leaves a stub which shows the
amount of the money order.
Miss Engelke's methods vas to is
sue none orders for 500 each, paya-
BILE to +. j. Needham, deposit 81 in the
cash account of her sub-station in
each case and cash the orders at a
private bank further up Sixth avenue,
representing herself to be +. j. Need
ham. BY accident. the postal authori-
ties say she chose the name of a
Fourteenth street publisher.
The forged orders passed thru the
clearing house and the general post
office without detection until last Sat
urday week, when seven postpaid
money orders for 500 each. all cashed
the day they were issued, aroused sus-
picion and led to inquiry and the
clerks flight.

my to Husband Pay.
Washington, Sept. 14-General Hen
~ G. Corbin. commanding the army
in the Philippines. who some
years ago took a decided stand
against young army officers marrying
unless they had incomes other than
their salaries, has preached a little
sermon to his enlisted men on the vir-
tue of frugality. 1t is contained in an
order issued to his men and which has
just reached Washington. Commenting
on the d%eplorable fact that most of the
men who have served out their terms
of enlistment find themselves without
funds, he
"This is a lesson that should not be
lost sight of by those remaining in the
service.
Every employee should resolve and
make good the resolution from this
time on, to deposit at the end of each
month, at least ten per cent of his
pay with a savings bank. Had the men
now discharged and in van saved
one-half of one per cent they would
have much more than enough to take
them to their homes, or, better yet,
perhaps. to allow them to live here III
comfort until other employment could
be obtained.
Here in these islands, an obligation
rests upon everyone in the public SER
vice to do his part in the work Of
building up and the betterment of the
natives around about is. This res
possibility rests on all, and not on the
few. Honest, sober, Industrious, fru-
gal lives on the part Of all is a re-
quirement of those In every branch Of
the SERVICE"

excellent impression at first, but thai
he has been sending home men who die
good work under the Wallace regime
which has caused a feeling of inse-
curity that is doing much harm.
No engineer on the isthmus, says the
employee quoted, dreams OF completing
the canal under twelve years n the
| consensus of opinion is that it will
more likely require a score of years
I This is based on the belief generally
| prevalent on the isthmus, according to
this employee, that a sea level canal
| will be constructed, which plan is no
favored by most of those here. The
coming visit Of the board of consult
ing engineers to the isthmus is await
ed with interest.
The writer referred to says that the
engineering problems involved are not
of such a serious nature as reported
here: that the plans Of the French en-
gineers are being followed in most par
ticulars, the only important discovery
by an American engineer being a
shorter route for q spillway to carry
off the surplus waters of h Chagres
river, by %tunneling. which would save
81 1000, 900.
Although the writer thinks the en-
gineering difficulties have been eXag-
gerated, he admits that the problem OF
getting machinery is a very serious
one.
1T will be possible to keep 1865 big
steam shovels at work in the Culebra
cut" he says, when they can be had.
That is, about 1870 will be at work and
the rest in process of repair, rebuild-
ing, etc. To keep things running there
at the limit of capacity about 165 to It's
of the big machines are needed. AT n
time ten of them were at work. The
daily movement of dirt. vas about
1000 yards. The number of machines
fell off from that maximum in April
last till in July only four steam SHOW
els were at work and only about LOO
yeards of earth were being mov
daily.
These steam shovels are made by
a concern in Bucyrus, Ohio. They are
able to turn out two of them per
month. Efforts have been made to in
duce them to increase their output, u
so far it has been found impossible. At
this rate it will take five years to get
enough of the shovels built to keep
the work going on at the limit, and that
takes no account of wear and tear,
There must be a new provision for get
ting the kind Of machinery that Is
needed, and it is a much more difficult
matter than might be imagined.
another great difficulty is in the
fact that Americans do not know
enough about doing work under tropi-
cal conditions. Plans are carefully
laid in Washington for doing a certain
piece of work, but they are based on
the assumption that conditions will be
the same in the ana country as in the
United States. So when the managers
in the canal zone attempt to carry out
their instructions they find it impossi-
blbe, friction arises and matters get
into bad shape. That is what has been
happening right along"

HIGHEST BRIDGE OPENED.
Great Engineering Work Over zambesi
River.

Victoria Falls, Zambesi River. East
Africa, Sept. 14.-The bridge over the
Zambesi river was formally opened
yesterday in the presence of the visit
ing members of the British association.
Professor Darwin made the opening
speech. He commented on the remark
able achievement which permitted a
party travelling in electric-lighted sa-
loon cars to visit a place which heroic
explorers had spent months Of fruitless
endeavors to reach.
The bridge over h Zambesi river
is the highest in the world. 1t was
linked up at Z a. m. April / of the pres
ent year thus completing another link
In the Cape-to-Cairo railway. The
bridge, which is of the cantilever type,
is 42O feet above the river at low water,
and crosses over the gorge at Victoria
Falls. The bridge was built by an
English company on the girder pattern,
constructed in three spans, and has a
width of thirty feet.
The Cape-to-Cario railway is an en-
deavor initiated by the late Cecil
Rhodes to connect Egypt and South
Africa by a line $500 miles long. From
the north the railway has reached
Khartoum, a distance, (allowing for
the river gap between Assuan and
Wady Halfa) of 1,400 miles.
In the south good progress has been
made north of Zambesi on the section
known as the northern extension. from
Victoria Falls to Kalama, the adminis-
trative center of Barotseland, a dis
lance of 100 miles. From Kaloma the
line is to be continued for another $50
miles in a n~ortheasterly direction. It
is probable that from Tanganyika there
will be two lines, one thru the Congo
and another thru the German territory.
