JOHN PAUL JONES.
up to His TBAe Ea.ily the Most CO..
splcuous Naval Hero.

Up to HIS TbaeA Easily the Most Con.
spicuoua Naval Hero.
There were Davala heroes before Paul
Jones, aud SO long as the sea dominates
the land they will not become extinct.
But up to his time ho was easily the
most conspicuous Of his class, SO far as
history has %enshriDed them. In the
days when galley ranged alongside gal.
ley or the viking ship locked oars with
its enemy in a hand to hand struggle to
theYdeath courage aud resource Of the
Paul Jones order may not have been
so uncommon. But fighting ships grew
larger, and the new factors of sail pow
er. and cannon range curtailed the field
of personal prowess. Up to that time
no sailor could know surely that he
was whipped before he was killed, but
in the days of the frigates a quarter
deck hero had at his disposal in every
fight a variety of incidents and results
from which he might deduce a respect
able reason for giving up his ship.
During 800 years the sailors of the
continental navies that encountered the
British IN the seas had uniformly been
quicker at that mental deduction than
their more stubborn foe until the Eng
lish! heart Of oak had come to be
thought inyincible. Paul Jones shat
tered precedent not only by combining
the classic method with the new, but,
for a greater wonder, by putting the
onus of surrender on the English when,
by every time honored test and rule.
he ought to have accepted the role Of a
chivalrous prisoner. On the continent
his skill and courage everywhere gain
ed him the prestige of a hero. while the
fact that he had .humbled the British
lion" placed him with Hercules among
the demigOds. To the English he was
merely a VIGOROUSLY offensive rebel
and pirate. and after his fame had
been drowned in the tidal wave OF the
French revolution and the Napoleonic
wars even his own people allowed their
admiration to be colored, by the Eng
fish estimate.
But no patriotic sailor ever carried
himself straighter as to his authority
or earned his fame more honestly than
Paul Jones. He belonged to the faction
which included Washington, Franklin.
Robert Morris. Alexander Hamilton
and Lafayette. men who. with their
followers. endured some stings from
the rear, but have since shared nearly
all the glory. Because in character,
ability and deeds Paul Jones was a
worthy associate of those immortal pa
triots his body will be placed in the
crypt of the new chapel ut the Naval
academy, whose teachings he virtually
began, and his fame will live and
grow as long as genius. valor and love
OF freedom are cherished.-Century

DuN's REVIEW.

New York, August 4.-R- G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Business continues to expand in whole some manner that promises well for the future. Reports from the leading branches of manufacture are unanimous in telling of an increasing volume of orders, and the percentage of idle machinery steadily diminishes. Textile plants make the best returns, closely followed by footwear fac tories, and some divisions of the steel in- dustry are engaged so far ahead that ca pacity is extended Better prospects for the crops removes the only handicap that impeded the revival of trade, and favor able weather there for a few weeks will assure unprecented production in the ag- gregate, although the yield of cotton will fall considerably behind last years. The month of July made most encouraging exhibit In so far as statistics are available, liabilities of failures being smaller than in any month since Aprid 1901, and rail- way earnings surpassing last years by 9.1 per cent. Foreign trade at this port for the last week shows gains of $l,776, 1S4 in exports and $1, eos, 654 in imports as com pared with the same period of 1904. Quiet conditions in the leading Iron and steel markets do not prevent activity at the mills. which operate freely on old con- tracts. and are preparing for a vigorous fall campaign. Prices of minor metals have risen stul further, they selling 6 cents higher than a few days ago. The outcome of coke is moderate but the mar ket is quiet and prices are steady.
 Recent advances in hides are fully main tained and in some varieties strength has appared and importers are actively bring ing supplies from Europe.
 It is estimated that this foreign busi- ness has already aggregated over 100000 hides. Leather is more active, especially hemlock sole and oak backs with prices sustained. Prospects of still higher prices for materials necessitates conservative ac- tion by manufacturers of boots and shoes. New England producers of footwear are fully occupied on current deliveries.
