Every One Making Money In America
 LONDON, Dec. 3.-Sir Thomas Lip ton, speaking of his American tour. said: "A visit of some weeks duration to the United States, wherein had the opportunity of inspecting great American manufactories and of exam ming in detail the progress of Ameri- can industry, convinces me that the British public has no idea of the kind of prosperity the United States Is en- toying today. It is no exaggeration to state that at no previous period in hu- man history has such prosperity been known in any country. Every one in America is making money-piles of it."

CAUSES OF DELAY.
Secretary Taft Explains to Ohio State
Bar Association.

Put in Bay, O., July 11.-Secretary of
War Taft in his speech this afternoon be-
fore the State Bar Association, after eX-
pressing his pleasure in again appearing
before an Ohio audience began his adj
dress upon the Panama canal by giving
reasons for the. selection by the govern
ment of the Panama route and explaining
the apparent delay in the actual work of
excavation. The necessity of improved
sanitary conditions being established be-
fore the actual work of construction was
actively commenced was strongly cmpha-
sized and it was shown that the nearly
% 900 employed had in reality accomplish
ed more than anyone realized in the
building and equipment of railroads. the
construction of a water supply and the
building of thousands of homes for those
engaged in the work.
1t was pointed out that the actual ex-
cavation was much less of q problem
than what to do with the material taken
out, much of which had to be carried Il
miles. requiring 80 bIi -"
miles of spur tracks. The question of
obta lining sufficient labor was shown "a
be serious one ami it had been ncccS-
sary to employ large numbers of natives
and Cinnamon, three of whom would dc
less than an average American workman
The estimated cost of the Panama route
was placed at $50. 100000 and the time
of completion about seven years, against
cost of 5000 100000 and II years for the
completion of the work had the Nicara.
guam route been chosen. The secretary
said the American people were disposed
to be in too big a hurry to "have the
dirt fy," ard that it had been necessary
for those in charge to Withstand a great
lot of political stress while carrying out
the preliminary work.
Mr.. Taft spoke without manuscript and
his talk was supplemented with number
of official maps.

Suicide Is Taken Ashore and
Carried to Station.

Boston, July lin a fit of temper
airy insanity. John Hughes, 20 years
old, of 81 Old Harbor street. South
Boston. sought to end his life last
night by jumping into Dorchester bay
off an embankment in the rear of Nc
Nary park, South Boston, and had it
not been for the tide being out would
probably have succeeded.
Forgetful of the old adage to look be-
fore he leaped, John bounded over the
embankment evidently expecting to
strike the waters of the bay, and his
strike the waters of the bay, and his
ambitions to die We're given a decided
thud when he sank up to his knees in
the soft, Shiny mud. Determined TO
make the best of his predicament, he
laid down on his back, and as he af-
terward admitted to his rescuer. "hc
was goin' to wait there till the water
covered him all over"
In that position he fingered for some
time, and it was not until he began to
groan, which was heard by pair of
| embryo lovers, that his presence was
known. The young people were great
ly frightened and made a hasty de-
parture from the park On East Ninth
| street they met Patrolman Daniel A.
| McGillivary of the City point station.

awful noises from some animal down
in the mud"
McGillivary made a preliminary in
vestigation, but not caring to take any
chances with the treacherous slime,
ran to the yard of the paving division,

rowed a pair of rubber boots from the
Waterman. Mr.. Calvary usually wears
a size eight shoe and the rubbers were
three sizes too large. but he did not
balk, and put them on.
When the officer reached the place
where a few minutes previous he hal
seen the form of a person, he was
rather startled to observe that the
form had disappeared. Listening fol-
Iawhile he heard the irregular splash
Isplash, splash of footsteps far away and
started in pursuit.

uniform of the policeman, and while
the latter had gone for the rubber
boots, arose from his position and be-
