TN few branches of the national gov
eminent has the past few years wit
4 messed a greater expansion of activi-
y ties than In the case of the United
States secret service. However, the
public has heard at length regarding the
broaded scope OF the rural free delivery
service the bureau OF insular affairs and
other rapidly growing governmental insti-
buttons. whereas little has been said regard
ing the added responsibilities of the sleuths
connected with the Treasury Department.
The chief duty of the highly systematized
Organization of which John e. Wilkie is the
head is the apprehension of counterfeiters,
and whether through the natural increase
In the population of the country or owing
TO other causes there is a steady growth
in the number of attempts to manufacture
and circulate spurious coin and currency.
This. too, In the face of the frequently
exemplified policy of the secret service to
have every operative who is assigned to a
case get his man" even II he is obliged
10 track him around the world and expend
a liberal sum of Uncle Sans money in the
chase.
To be sure, the past few years have pro-
duced few Brockways. or other peers OF
some of the expert engravers gone wrong,
who in years past have made trouble for
the secret service. but there has been an
epidemic of mote raising and more
numerous attempts-prncipally on the part
of Italians and other foreigners-to put in
circulation bogus nickels and other coins
of small denominations. all of which has
added considerably to the volume of work
handled by the secret service.
X
Another duty of the secret service corps
which has assuredly not been lightened
during recent years is embodied in the
responsibility for the safety of the person
of the President OF the United States. The
assassination of the late President Nc
Kiney despite all ordinary precautions
has placed the secret service men on their
mettle. and President Roosevelts strenu-
osity as exemplfed in his daily walks or
rides unfrequented suburban roads, his
hunting trips in the west and his long
period OF residence at Oyster Bay each
year has set for Chief Wilkes men
new standard of eternal vigilance Finally.
the increased number of anarchists who
have managed to slip into this country
from Europe have helped to complicate
the situation.
An eye must be kept on these disciples of
the red In order to thwart any plots

through the operation of the minute
but almost humanity intelligent steel
fingers the first product of lace making

Since that day the industry has been

established fact in this country.
This gentleman is an expert. under
standing perfectly every detail of the
work he superintends. and intelligently
experimenting the other experts in the
various departments.
The threading of lace machine is
an operation requiring the services of
two men as many weeks. There are
many winding machines in the factory,
weighing about four tons each; they
have capacity of about 5000 yards
each day.
The Zion lace factory occupies a
brick structure, covering four acres of
land, and floor space of much more,
there being two floors. The enterprise
employs in it's various departments
about 400 people, and has the capacity
for many more machines and double
the output, since they are running at
the present time 10 hours a day to fill
orders now on hand.
The Zion City lace industry is GER

There seems to be no shadow of rea-

the principles they advocated, and even

interests of the people are still in the

characteristic announcement in one
of the weekly papers, edited by the Rev.
John Alexander Dowie, reads: mo pigs,
pills or physicians are to be found with
in the city, and doctors, drugs, tobacco
and intoxicants, with all the goats of
secretism, or labor unions, are forever
shut out"
This statement, though it lacks any
apparent attempt at refined diction. tells
a long story and, after all, very pleas
ing one. Good sparerib is not so bad,
but pigs in their crude state are never
agreeable to see, and an area of $500
acres (more than 10 square miles) of
beautiful highland on the shores of
Lake Michigan, where these disagree
able things are not allowed, Is an ideal
spot, even to the enemies of the cult.

this ideal city and its great industries
was q wonderful man. He possessed
the marvellous ability to picture the fu-
ture as if it were really the living pres
