teeship of the stock of the Equitabl
which he accepts. The letter has been
made public, and says in part:
"While the hope that l might aid

myself Of the belief that what hat

tured into buttons. The hOOfs Of the
cattle are manufactured into combs
and brushes. Glue, vaseline and doz-
ems Of other by-prOducts are manufac-
tured out of the entrais and other por-
tons Of the animals that at one time
were allowed to go to waste. At the
present time these by-products furnish
one Of the principal sources of revenue
to the beef packing companies.
Take as another illustration the
Standard Oil Company: When this
company was first organized the vol
ume Of waste in the business of retin-
ing Oil was enormous. Crude oil was
taken and refined and the refined oil
was practically the only product Ev-
erything else was allowed to go to
waste. The Standard Oil Company,
however. began taking this waste and
manufacturing 1t into by-products. 1t
will doubtless be surprise to many
to learn that the company to-day has
no less than thirty-two by-products.
The revenue derived from the sale of
these is enormous. Yet previous to the
organization OF the Standard Oil Com
pany practically all Of these by-prod-
ucts went to waste.
"'The railroad industry furnishes an
other illustrations: The effort to econ
mize in small items of expenditure and
save waste is the main object in most
of the enormous investments that the
railroads have made during the last
few years. The number of train miles
run in 1900 was S56,O9OOS2. 1t Is
cellar that a saving OH each of these
train miles. although amounting in IL
self to but fraction of cent. will
aggregate an enormous sum when APP
piled to the total number of train
miles. For instance, suppose that the
railroads of the country are able
through improved operation to save
the small sum of only . cents per train
mile. This would be equivalent on the
S56.O9O,OS2 train miles run in 1900 to
a total saving of over $17, 100000 This
is equivalent to an annual dividend of
4 per cent on $625, 100000. 1t is easy
to understand how the right man. who
can bring about such small saving
in the cost of train mile. can demand
a salary of more than 100000 year"

Them Sit Up and Listen.
st. Petersburg, June lathe mu-
nicipality of St. Petersburg has decid-
ed to give it's adhesion to the address
to Emperor Nicholas adopted by the
all Russian congress at Moscow, and
has appointed a number of its mem ers
to join the deputation from the Moscow
congress which will present the address
to the emperor.
Moscow is now perfect hotbed of
protest against the existing regime,
and the address which the derutation
from the all Russian zemstvo congress
has brought to St. Petersburg has fair
~ stunned the mem bers of the govern
ment.
Nothing approaching the language
used in the document from such men
of standing as those who signed it has
ever before been heard in Russia.
There is peremptory ring about it
which is ominous.
The important fact has developed
that the Moscow meeting only tempo
rarily adjourned to await the emper-
or's answer to the deputation dispatch
ed to him with the address telegraphed
from Moscow demanding the imme-
diate convocation of national assem-.
bly,.
Count Hayden, who heads the depu-
tstion, is here trying to arrange for its
reception, which he would like to take
place as soon as the other mem bers ar.
rive. They are all marshals Of the no.
bility. and all, therefore, by an ancient
law Of Russia, are guaranteed the priv.
ilege of presenting memorials direct to
the sovereign.
The commencement of formal peace
negotiations, especially if coupled with
the prompt announcement of the con-
voking of a national assembly, may
avert the threatened crisis which the
Liberals are forcing on the govern
ment, or it may only serve to precipi-
tate it.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 12.-On June
20 the grand jury will begin sitting
the official life of Milwaukee, city
and county. 1t is conceded that the
jurors just sworn in will land on big
game, it being admitted that the three
grand juries which have made inquiry
will prove to have been but prelimi-
naries to the one that goes to work
probing graft this month. The other
graca juries got the small grafters,
the present one is expected to get the
big grafters.
There have been all sorts of rumors
af1oat as to what the grand jury will
do, but none Of them originate on any
authority from District Attorney Nc
Govern or his ocffie.
1t is known, however, that the five
men who have grated as officials have
confessed and that their confessions
will be placed before tho grand jury as
soon as it settles down to business.
Who will be caught depends upon what
the men who have confessed have
owned up to.

1t is expected that about a thousand
delegates will attend.
Every preparation is being made for
the reception of the body. Among the
prominent speakers who will be heard
are:
President H. w. Moore; Hon. Mar.

Roads day and splendid program is
being arranged. An object lesson road
will be constructed on the exposition
grounds as special exhibit, showing
in detail the process of road building,
from the foundation grade to the fin
ished road. 1t will demonstrate the
application and use of various kinds of
road material and the operation of the
latest improved road making machin.
cry.
Association Has Achieved Much.
The National Good Roads Associa
ton has achieved great ends. The sub
ject of improved public roads is com
manding more active and practical
consideration at this time than any
other question on internal improvement,
in the states and territories of the
American Union. Agricultural, com
mercial, industrial, transportation, re-
| ligious, educational, social and public
interests are demanding uniform sys
tenn of permanent highways, common
surate with the needs of the country.
The proceedings of the coming con
vention will include addresses and dis
cussions upon the scientific, ethic and
economic phases Of the subject and it,
relation to industrial development ant
progress. National engineers and ex
pert road builders will exemplify mod.
ern methods of constructing earth
gravel, macadam, brick and othel
kinds of roads. Legislation pertaining
to national and state cooperation ant
supervision; financial ways and means
the use of convicts and other details o.

sideration.
