All of which indicates that IN
the matter of building merchant

year there were constructed seven

wooden barges of $3.50 tons.
Thirty-four steel steamers, worth
over $4,000, 900, were built in the

NEW ORLEANS, Aug, 1S-The
most popular charity in New Or
leans is conducted by the Working
Girls Outing association. This
society has so high an tim and con-
ducts its business in SO dignified
a manner that its work can scarce
" be called charity.
The association is two years
old. The president is j. Kemp
Ridgely, popular passenger agent
and the vice president is Chas. l..
Lee, a sporting editor. Many of Its
members are newspaper men.
The work of this organization
has become so popular that TINS
year it collected money sufficient
to send IA popular working girls
to the mountains of north Carolina
in special Pullman car, paying all
expenses and furnishing spending
money and plenty of luxuries for
the trip.
Besides this, the members turn
ed over to Rest Awhile. the home
across Lake Ponchartrain in the
piney woods country, the sum of
$4,000 in cash to be used by the
prominent women who conduct
this home for working girls.
All of this money was secured
by selling votes for the most pop
ular working girl in the city at one
penny each. This year 1000
votes were cast-almost two votes
to every soul living in New Or
leans.
Rest Awhile" is conducted by
the Kings Daughters, at the head
OF which Is Miss Sophie B. Wright
whose charity has been the sub
ject Of comment in nearly all OF
the leading magazines and news
papers.

expects to send two of its most
popular contestants on a trip
around the world and hopes to Sc

this purpose. The surplus from

LUMBER TRUST
THROTTL|NG
FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug 18.
AT no point in the United States
since April Is has lumber been so
badly needed, nor so hard to get,
as in San Francisco--and this de-
spite the fact that the burned city
lies practically at the door of one
of the greatest lumber-producing
centers of the world. In the great
forests of Washington and Oregon
there are now 100000 feet
of standing timber. and more than
1000 mills are turning out an an
nual total of 6,000,000,000 feet of
lumber. Yet in San Francisco, on
Iva few hundred miles away and
easily accessible both by rail and
sea route, the struggling rebuild
ers of the burned city have found
in almost impossible to secure lum-
Der in any adequate quantities and
for what they have secured they
have been compelled to pay enorm-
Gus prices.
This lack of lumber, the worst
stumbling block in the way Of re-
building the destroyed city, it is
claimed, is the work and the DELHI
crate plan of San Francisco's lum-
Der dealers who in San Francisco's
time of direst need, went into a
combine to corner" the lumber
trade and to so restrict 1t that the
distressing scarcity of lumber
would cause the prices to soar and
enormous profits to flow into the
Golfers of the combine. 1t is said
that as against the regular profits
of 81 per thousand feet with which
the dealers were satisfied before
the disaster, they are now exacting
a profit to themselves Of $12 per
thousand feet.
This combine, which is effectual-
ly a trust, gives various explana-
lions and excuses for the outrage
| Gus prices charged, claiming that
| the recent labor troubles and
strikes have raised the shipping
rates tremendously on the sea
freighting route, and that the con
gested traffic Of the railroad com
panies has made it practically i'm
possible to get lumber transported
by rail. When It is considered
however, that the lumber dealers
own or have control of 80 per cent
of the Misunderstanding vessels
plying along the coast and tina
they are working in the utmos

uation lose their force.

The plan Of the edifice was designed by

three Of which lead to the nave, while
two others lead up stairs Of polished
granite to the galleries, these being sup

aisles The gable-end Of the central
structure is adorned with the decalogue.
Separated by large, richly decorated
triumphal arch there is the ark, made o.
polished Carrara marble. Walls, pillars,
ceiling and floor are freproof, and so are
the four staircases leading to the CALLER

ROCKVILLE, Md, October &c, 1906.
Mr.. Harvey r. Spessard, democratic cam
didate for Congress. made his first speech
of the campaign in Montgomery county last
evening, when he addressed a good-sized
gathering In the town hall at Poolesville.
He was cordially received, and his speech
and general bearing are understood to-
have made a very good impression.
The meeting was presided over by Mr..
r. Dawson Williams OF Jacksonville, who
made a brief speech. Before Mr.. Spes-
sard was introduced Mr.. Bowie F. Waters
delivered an excellent speech. covering the
issues from democratic standpoint quite
fully and with considerable force.
Mr.. Spessard confined his remarks large
ly to discussion of the tariff, declaring
for tariff reform and charging that the
trusts and monopolies Of today were made
possible by republican tariff legiSlatio
He claimed that the prosperity the country
Is now enjoying was in no way due to the
republican party, but insisted that Ii Is one
of those waves that come regardless Of
legislation. Mr.. SpesSard declared himself
to be in favor of the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the people
and also favored such laws as would give
equal rights to capital and labor"
In speaking of his chances Mr.. Spessard
was not boastful. He stated that he had
reason to be hopeful, but that he did not
claim that he would be elected. He urged
the members of his party to do their ut
most to get out the vote on election day.
Mr.. Spessard arrived in Pooiesville in
the morning and spent the day shaking

Raised for Him

A dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa. says:
A wall from the protected interests has
gone up from the new thirtieth congress

feat OF John Dalzen for reelection to Com
gress. Conditions are so alarming to those
who had this new district especially por-
toned off for Dalzell In 1905 that the United
States Steel Corporation, the Pittsburg Coal
Company. the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Westinghouse interests are pouring
money into the field to save him.
An appeal has likewise been sent to
Washington for assistance to pull DalzeII
| through. President Roosevelt has listened,
and has consented to allow Attorney Gem
with Senator Knox at meeting to be pre-
sided over by Dalzell himself. Secretary
Shaw has already been here speaking for

by his refusal to come down to state Issues
The opponent of Dalzell Is ex-Mayor r. J.

Winter Modes.
From the Tattler

Whether or not there be any truth In
man-speaking generally-it is seldom dis
coverable in the weather prophet. There
are. however so many Indications that the
coming winter is likely to be severe one
that it is no wonder the fur-trimmed gar
ment is figuring so largely In the fashion
market a noticeable detaii of wintry
modes is. the care exercised In matching
the cloth of gown or coat 10 the Iur whlcn
adorns it. Hence fur tones are being
largely produced in cloth, and fer those
who have no occasion to be thrifty white
cloth trimmed with ermine and white fox
offers charming possibilities. Where a
contrast is preferred very soft shade OF
electric blue is frequently allied with the
former fur with the happiest results.
