likely that when it is discovered that
an umbrella cannot be raised and will
be of no use the person taking the
same will return it to the stand.
On this supposition the umbrella lock
shown here would be Of great value, as
it can be attached to any umbrella. 1t
is made in the shape Of Il sleeve divid-
ell into two sections. connected by a
hinge. Opposite this hinge is a lock,
which co-operates with a catch in such
a as to enable the sections to
be locked together. For this purpose
the lock has an opening through its
casing. which enables the catch to
press in. At the extremity Of II Of
the sections is Il flalge. which projects
inwardly.
In applying the lock to the umbrella
the sleeve is snapped over the end of
the cover. the hange lying between the
handle and the ends Of the ribs, which
will evidently effectually prevent the
removal of the lock. When it Is not de-
sired to lock the umbrella the device
can be applied in an inverted position
on the handle. In connection with the
lock Is a keyhole, which enables the
lock to be opened only by means of a
key. which will, Of course, be carried
by the owner Of the umbrella.-New

Uncle Sam May Build1Island.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The cre-
alton of an artificial island in the
middle of the entrance to Chesapeake
bay Is proposed by the joint board on
coast defense, as an absolute essential
to the defense of the national capitol
and the cities of Baltimore, Norfolk,
Newport News and even Richmond.
The daring exploits of the japanese
naval captains during the recent war
have convinced the army engineers
that 1t is no longer safe to rely upon
the defenses of Fort Monroe to con.
troll the entrancelto the Ches apeake.
The board has concluded:tha at a fort
ress should be erected to command the
north side Of the present main chan.
mel, as we'll as the north channel, and
the only proper site for the fortress
would be on what are known as the
middle grounds. The water is shall.
low, but there is no land above tide,
and therefore the government must
dump stone into the bottom of the bay,
as it did when it built the ripraps for
the fort at the entrance OF Hampton
Roads, until Q foundation is secured
for the defenses.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Executive Off.
Gals of the western roads have decided
to run homeseekers excursions to the
northwest every Tuesday during the
coming summer. It is declared that
the roads tapping the midwest and the
southwest will fall into line, thus max.
ing it possible for those desiring to
settle in any territory in any section

by the Rock Island-Frisco system.
Homeseekers' rates are considerably
lower than the usual excursion rates,
being on the basis Of one fare, plus 81,
while the usual basis for excursions is
80 per cen of the local rate.

FAvORS GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Nevada Senator Would Base Railroad
Rates Upon Value of Lines.

WASHINGTON, April AIN the sen.
ate today Mr.. Newlands discussed the
rate bill and MIR. Daniel the question
OF the lack OF representation By the
southern states in the public service.
Mr.. Newlands advocated amendments
to the rate bill providing for the ma
ttonal incorporation Of railroads, and
announced himself as favorable to the
governmental ownership OF those utili.
ties.
Mr.. Newlands commended that the
bill should fix a maximum percentage
OF profit to be allowed to the roads,
and to that q he would have the
valuation of all railroad property
carefully ascertained. In addition he
would have a national incorporation
act which would be the most effective
safeguard against over.capitalization.
All these regulations would work u.
tomaticaily in the direction of a re-
duction of rates.
He argued that the great majority
OF investors prefer a steady income of
from 4 to 6 per cent. to speculative
enterprises; and drew the conclusion
that the determination of profit would
not have the effect of restricting rail-
road extension, this plan would also
have the effect of taking the railroads
out of politics, q most desirable de.
sideratum in Mr.. Newlands' opinion.
From national capitalization to ma.
tional ownership vas only q short
step, said the Nevada senator, and he
announced he vas in no respect averse
to that policy. He could see no finan-
cial obstacle in the way of the acQui.
sition of the existing roads but If there
should be opposition to this course he
would have the government enter upon
the construction of a railway system
of its " and he suggested an exper.
mental line from Norfolk or Charles
ton to Los Angles or Santiago. Such
a line, 5000 miles in length could be
built, he declared, for 800, 600, 900, a
cost not exceeding an average of $780,.
600 per mile, as against the average
capitalization of S65 900 which pre-.
walls on existing lines.
