the shooting of stanford White by MIR.
Ihaw. Mrs Holman listened to a recital
OF the tragedy, but, beyond asking a few

never hoard of him, and that She did not
know what she was going 20 do regarding
the matter, The information came ia
the nature Of a distinct shock TO her.
She was naturally unpreparod, she said,
to hear of an accident ia which her dangh-4
terla husband cut 30 tragic a figure.

May Iron Makina.

The coke furnaces in the district burned out 141,773 ton of iron in Jan uary; 134,792 tons in February; 135,- 739 in March; 137049 in April, and 133,790 tons in May. These figures point to production of coke iron this year of about 1,650,000 tons. Includ- ing charcoal iron the district may pos sbly produce this year 1,700,000 tons. In 1905 the districts production was 1,604,062 tons; in 1904 it produced 1,453,573 tons; in 1903, 1,561 1888 tons; in 1902, 1,472,211 tons; in 1901, 1,225,- sos tons, and in 1900, 1,155, ,5S3 tons.
 It will thus be seen that we are steadily increasing the districts out. put, but the growth is far below what 1t should be. In order to control the foundry Iron market, we should pro- duce twice as much iron as we are making, and when the Warrior Is
 
 hard times sell twice the present product.
 The hot months are not ordinarily good producing months. and the aver age capacity of the furnaces going out of blast for repairs are apt to exceed that of the furnaces blown in, but in this district the hot months will not this year be vacation months. Iron making goes on regardless of weather or holidays. Stacks are blown in as soon as repairs can be made, for all have confidence in the course of prices during the last half of the year.

Mr, Shaw Could Not Go.

Secretary Shaw and Vice President Fairbanks are stumping the country for delegates. Their respective sala- ries are paid by the people, but they have small time to give to official duties. The stump and its attendant solicitation of delegates holds them, and they are letting no grass grow un der their respective feet.
 But they encounter obstacles from time to time. Months ago Secretary Shaw, for example, agreed to deliver hn oration at the graduation exercises of Chancellor Days university. But that was before Chancellor Day be- came the protagonist of the trusts of the beef trust and of Bro. Arch bold of the Standard Oil in particular. This fact compelled Secretary Shaw to telegraph to Day that owing to i'm perative business which necessitates HIS pICoSlCC III luC WcSl, nt COulu HOJ keep his engagement at Syracuse, and he at once took the stump elsewhere.
 This is all right Syracuse Uni- versity had changed. It had become too rank for MT. Shaw. If it had stood pat, MT. Shaw would have been bound fin all ethics to have kept his engage ment But he did not stand pat It went over body, boots and brooches to the trusts, and MT. Shaw had moral right to cancel an en- gagement made under other and bet ter circumstances, for whoever talks now at Days University becomes In the popular mind a Dayite, and MT. Shaw declines to enlist.

time, consider any case so appealed or animal industry of the department of az riculture to so consider any such case, and the decision of the secretary of agri- culture or of the chief of the bureau of animal industry. acting under his di- rections as herein provided, shall be final and conclusive.
 Provided however. that nothing con- tained herein shall deprive any person, company or corporation claiming to be affected injuriously by any of the rulings or decisions provided for in this act, af- fecting the rights of property or interests of such person, company or corporation, from appealing from such ruling or decis- ion and from having the same reviewed and testing the legality or constitutionali- ty of such ruling or decision in the circuit court of the United States in the district or circuit in which said ruling or decision is first made. and the right to take such appeal to test such ruling or decision is hereby conferred"
 Under this section the secretary of
 
 agriculture would have little power. If he refused to stamp a piece of meat, a writ of mandamus could compel him to stamp it as inspected and passed meat. The burden of proving that it was unsound would rest upon the secretary. The question of in- spection would really be vested, not in the secretary of agriculture, but in the circuit court.
 This is the chief disagreement be- tween the two contending camps. Chairman Wadsworth has patched his tent among the packers, and the presidents teepee is on the other side of the fence.
