1t Is stated in explanation of the shooting,
that Whalen left Washington between s

A MUNICIPAL EXPRESS SERVICE.

New Bedford Standardization max
! ing what seems to be a real success
of it's municipal street car service
and the ship canal in which it is the
dominant partner, the city of Man,
chester, Eng, has undertaken the
unique business of conducting munic-
| ipa express service, which is now
well established and is being carried
on on an extensive scale. When the
city applied to parliament for the priv.
ilege the railway companies, the
carriers, and the team owners, pre-
scented a united opposition, urging that
the municipality was invading their
province. But parliament is ever
ready to encourage municipal enter
prises, and so the scheme was put in
to- operation, to the great satisfaction,
apparently, of the people who are con-
cerned. The service is applicable to
parcels up to one hundred and twelve
ed and delivered anywhere within the
/ limits Of Manchester and in the fif-
teen outlying towns and several vii
lagos than can be reached from the
city by street cars. There is a cen
| trail receiving house for parcels in
the heart of the city and twentysix
other depots scattered throughout the
region and, besides collecting wag-
ons call at warehouses, offices and
stores, Depot messengers attend to
the delivery of the packages, and one
hundred and twenty storekeepers
along the street car routes act as re-
ceiving agents. In the delivery OF
small parcels, under twenty-eight
pounds, the ordinary street cars are
largely utilized, while heavier par
cells go by special freight cars. The
charges are small, even less than by
the economical parcels post system,
and are fixed according to weight and
distance, beginning at four cents.
This express business is the natural
outgrowth of the municipal owner
ship of the street railways, just as
freight service has come to be at
tached to most privately owned sys-
TENS over here that cover territory
beyond the limits of single city.
Apparently Manchester has gone into
the business on large scale and
thoroughly systematized it, making
the small prices possible, the accom-
mediation of the people rather than
moneymaliing being the underlying
motive. If the prices remain low and
the transmission of parcels is prompt,
such a directly personal service as
this will do much to popularize munic-
ipal administration of enterprises
usually within the control of private
ownership

the wheat previously ground in Europe
TO be ground sy American millers,
thereby adding to the prosperity of an,
other home industry.
The total yield Of wheat In the
United States averages between six
and seven hundred million bushels.
OF this, between two and three aun
dred million are exported. The wheat
of the southwest goes abroad by way
of New Orleans and Galveston. That
from the central west finds its way
to the sea by the Kansas City-Chicago
route, or eastward from st. Louis to
Baltimore and Newport News. The
vast yield of the northwest goes to
Duluth and thence by boat through
the great lakes and out to sea via tne
st. Lawrence, or overland from Buffalo
to New York or Boston.
One Of the chief sources of this ever
increasing flow of American products
to European markets is the policy
maintained by our railroads. The rail
road has become one Of the main
supports OF our great American in,
dustries, aiding in the development or

Back to the Stage.

Mrs. Wallace d. Scott, who as the
wife of Roland B. Molineux, acquitted
in New York after a sensational trial
of the murder of Mrs. Kate j. Adams,
came into a great deal OF notoriety,
first on account of the MolineuX trial
and later on account of her South Da>
kota divorce and marriage to her
Sioux Falls attorney, soon will appear
befor the footlights in vaudeville.
Mrs. Molineux-Scott has resided in
Sioux Falls nearly three years. Mr..
and Mrs Scott will depart from Sioux
Falls within day or two for the pur-
pose of making their permanent home
in the east, where Mr.. Scott will en-
gage in the practice OF law. With
their infant son they will proceed to
Long Island, where they will reside
until the cool weather, and where Mrs.
Scott will complete her preparations
for appearing on the stage. their re-
nova. to .Jew York is in accordance
with plans formulated some time ago,
but the birth of the child and the dis.
posal of the law practice of Mr.. Scott
delayed their change of residence.
Mrs. Scott is we'll equipped for her APP
pearance on the state. She has had a
thorough musical training, having for
a Period of about ten years taken vocal
lessons from teachers in Boston anu
New York. During the last few
months she has been diligently prepar'
ing herself. Tempting offers have
been renewed to Mrs. Scott at various
times, and in view of the fact that her
husband is now able to become resi-
dent of New York, she will appear be-
fore the New York public this season.
Several propositions are being consid-
cred.

Wheat Is peculiar crop In that 1t

liz order, therefore, to allow American
wheat to compete in European mar
kets with the wheat from Russia, Ar
gontina and Roumania the railroads
have had to disregard distance utterly
in their export charges. They have
made charges on export wheat lower
than those on wheat designed for do,

Washington, Sept. 3.-Recent re-
ports indicate that this is likely to be
a banner year in American export
trade. Harvests are good on the broad
farms of the great west; from the DO
main of King Cotton comes similar in
telligence; eastern manufacturing In
dustries are prosperous. 1t Is often
said In these days that Europe Is be-
coming Americanized through It's ef.
forts to please wealthy tourists from
this side OF the water. With more
truth, It might be said that Europe Is
becoming Amerlcanized because OF the
rapidly increasing volume of trade be,
tween the old world and the new.
America does o large part in the work
of feeding the nations OF the earth,
wherever goods are bought and sold.
The details OF the foreign commerce
statistics of the country for the fiscal
year ending June 30 show that the
greatest increase of imports involved
manufacturers materials, while the
largest gain in exports was made in
factory products. Furthermore, an
analysis OF the statistics reveals the
fact that tho manufacturing centers OF
the interior are more than hoLling
their own with those OF the states on
the coast. Previous Investigations OF

this same fact have convinced Euro
poan manufacturers that IL was due
chiefly to tho low freight rates on
goods intended for export. 1t waa
proved for example, that tho American
average OF $ 0O76 per ton was tho low
est rate in the world New proof or
the correctness of this conclusion Is to
be found In the fact that, whereas dur.
Ing the past year, chemicals, cotton
goods, feathers, fibre manufactures,
glass and glassware metal and wool
manufactures showed decreased impor-
tation, AT the same time cotton exports
increased $25,OO0,OO0, cotton manufac-
lures $22 100000, raw cotton 80 1000,
iron and steel manufactures $23 000,,

CoLoRED BUTTERFLIES.

DR.. Otto Seifert, of New York. is
producing some remarkable results
by exposing butterflies to heat AMI
Geld. In this way he has artificially
produced artic and tropical forms of
those insects; and, yet more surpris-
ing, he has evolved in the same fashion
ancient forms, which may have lived
tens of thousands of years ago, and
butterflies of the future, SO to say,
which may exist thousands of years
hence Though it sounds like a fairy
tale, it is all quite true.
OF course, says a writer in the Satur-
day Evening Post, it is in the chrysalis
state that the insects are subjected to
treatment. They are put into the ice
box or into the hot box for from thirty
to a hundred hours, and then, being
taken out, are permitted to undergo
their final transformation whereupon,
Of course. they appear as full-fedged
butterflies. BY comparing them with
ordinary butterflies of the same species
ii is easy to see what the effect of the
cold CT the heat has been. Invariably,
as DR.. Seifert has found, their colors
are MAZE much more subdued by the
cold and much more vivid and brilliant
by the heat.
BY exposing local New York butter
flies to the treatment Dr. eifert has
produced varieties such as would be
appropriate to Manitoba or Mexico, as
indicated by their subdued or by their
brilliant colcring- that is TO

CHILD LABOR JERSEYS CURSE

The latest publication of the Nation
al Consumers League is from the Sec
rotary, Mrs. Kelley, who writes of
of the needless destruction
of boys in the glass factories of New
Jersey. The laws of that state pro-
hibit tne employment of boys under
fourteen in manufacture, but allow
night as well as day work after that
age. The child-labor laws are enforced
there also better than in many states,
but they are in this respect of night
work clearly insufficient. Boys in glass
factories labor side by side with men,
and even on men the strain is destruC-
tive. No blower sends mis- son to the
glass factory to work, but orphan sons
Of blowers are among the carriers,
moulders and gathers. No well-situated
workman sends his son into the glass
bottle trade, but the sons of recently
immigrated laborers with large fam
lilies and small wages are thus sacri-
feed, and boys are imported from New
York orphan asylums to work in the
boiling heat at night and roam the
streets in gangs by day Ohio, at
least according to law, protects boys
from right until they are sixteen, and
both Ohio and Illinois are far ahead
Of New Jersey in replacing boys in
glass factories by machinery. New
York, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan have
laws forbidding all work by children
after certain evening hour, and no
state IS excusable for leaving its chill
dren without such proteetion.-Col-
