Between the mountains valley

brilliant but fruitless Confederate VIC

filed into The trench by the riverside,
knew what it meant; and the silent
soldiers resting near the old court
house, looking at the relieved infant

through the darkness Cup the main
street and out Of town., knew that
the Confederate army was evacuating
the gate city of the South, and that
their Tennessee homes were held for
the Confederacy only by Gordon Of
calvary, acting as infantry, TO conceal
the retreat Of the main army.
This il what every soldier in the
ranks could but see; but history
says that stunning Confederate vic

rendered the army Of Lee well-nigh

Spring trade is at its height, and the
turnover bids fair to exceed even last
years, the stimuli being furnished by
more favorable weather, the approach Of
Easter and the visits of country mer-
chants to the larger centers. Improve
ment is reflected all around, even in the
Northwest, which now appears to be get
ting back to normal conditions. In fact,
doubt as to the future is nowhere in evil
dence in the great producing sections of
the country. In some points in the West
sales of dry goods on spring account are
fully 10 per cent above those of last year,
while fall business thus far placed is also
in excess of that booked at this time in
1906. While the car situation in the
West has improved, conditions in the
East are worse, but nevertheless a great
er movement of cereals to market may
now be expected.

An American city once asked Mac
Monnies, the sculptor, to enter design
for army and navy groups for SOL!
diers' and sailors monument. He de-
clined to compete. Then the commits
sion was rendered to him outright. He
submitted sketches of his idea for the
groups. The committee In charge OF
the monument wrote him, asking:
How many tons of granite do you in
tend to use in the base? His reply
was: IF you are in the business Of
buying granite you may use as much
as you want, one ton or 100000 tons.
l am an artist and l never yet heard
Of art being bought by the pound"
The question was dropped until the
contract for the commission was
drawn. When Mr.. MacMonnies re-
ceived 1t he discovered in 1t clause
providing that in case the bronzes were
ever thrown down from their base, by
any cause whatever, and any person
or property should be injured. he and
his heirs forever should be liable for
the damage sustained. He returned
the contract without comment, I'M
signed. When the committee wrote
him, asking the reason, his brief reply
was, Your lawyers are too sharp

A big strike of the trainmen on the
Pennsylvania railroad seemed inevitable
when the officials of the road made con-
cessions by extending the recent Pitts
burg wage increase to points within a
radius of forty-fve miles, adding 2 cents
an hour to all day or night men.
The new labor union, embracing all sec
ton hands employed on railroads west
and southwest Of Chicago, have asked
the general managers committee to eX-
clude all aliens from employment in track
work. The men want Il wage scale of
S75 a month for fOremPn and 50 for day
Of eight hours for laborers. The union
has promised close utilization with the
other railway organizations.
AS result of recent railway wrecks
the managers of several trunk lines lead
ing into Chicago have expressed their in
tention of running trains on slower sched-
ule. A number of prominent Chicago
bankers, lawyers and railroad men have
signed a petition to the New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania arrangements re-
questing the extension of the New York
and Chicago schedule from eighteen to
twenty hours during the winter months.
One result of the recent accidents on
the New York Central and the prompt
action of the coroner and grand jury in
calling the company to account is an or
der to all trainmen on the Harlem di-
vision within the electric zone to run
their trains not over forty-fve miles an
hour on straight track and not over
thirty-five on a curve. Officials of both
the Central and the Pennsylvania say
that the limited flyers will have to be
taken off if the 2-cent fare laws stand.
The Pennsylvania railroad has decided
to make an exhaustive test of steel ties.
If these steel ties stand the test the COM
pany will use hundreds of thousands of
them annually, but If they fail to meet
the requirements the company will not
make any further experiments with steel
ties, but will plant thousands of trees,
with the idea of using wooden ties ex-
clusively in the future. On it's various
lines the Pennsylvania company uses
about 100000 wooden ties annually.
The interstate commerce commission
has recommended law enforcing the use
of the block signal system on all passen-
ger lines and giving the commission power
to inspect and regulate. 1t holds that
the system has failed on account of bad
operation rather than from any defect in
It's design. Supervision would be made
to prevent unduly long hours of labor,
which impair the faculties of those charg-
ed with the operation of the system. At
the same time the New York State rail-
| road commission has recommended the
adoption Of a system which will prevent
more than one train being In block at
the same time. In practice, railroad men
ave very generally allowed more than
one train in block under cautionary or
ders

CHICAGO.

Along with the advent of spring BUSH
hess generally is seen to have acquired
further momentum. No correspo ling
period in previous years was entered pom
with production, distribution and trans
portation more largely engaged, and it
is remarkable index of industrial
strength that demands and costs exhibit
no reaction. Labor problems attract at
tention, but the difficulties obtain prompt
treatment, thereby avoiding the danger
from spread of strikes. A gratifying
feature is the Improvement in railroad ia
cilities, less complaint of car shortage
now being current.
Distributive trade has responded
promptly to the stimulus of seasonable
weather. The wholesale markets are yet
attended by many outside buyers, heavy
purchases of spring and summer merchan-
disc make healthy reduction of ware
house stocks, and there is little diminu-
ton in the pressure upon shipping rooms,
country merchants insisting upon prompt

western collections make a good showing

Every school district and every church
in the United States will take an inter-
est in the trial of the furniture manufac-
turing companies that have been indicted
by the federal grand jury sitting in Chi
cago, on the charge of having violated the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge in educational cir
cles that prices of school furniture have
been maintained by some device on a high
level and frequent efforts to break the
combination have met with no success.
Nine companies, said to produce over 80
per cent of the school and church furni-
ture in the United States, have been
caught in the governments dragnet. In
asmuch as every citizen directly or indi-
rectly contributes to the support of the
public schools, a conspiracy to stife COM
petition in school furniture affects more
people than any of the other combinations
which the government has prosecuted.
Any violation of the law is to be con-
demned, but when the act of lawlessness
is aimed at education or religion, little
sympathy Is lost on the offenders. Such
trust as the furniture manufacturers are
alleged to be maintaining tratfics on the
brain and the SOUL and seems at least
vastly more immoral in its activity than
other combinations which affect only a
small per cent of the people.
-
IF the soul has weight" said an emf

group of German students settled this
point. If a mouse was allowed to die
in a Theoretically (sealed by fusion, not
merely stoppered) sealed bottle, absolute
ly no loss of weight occurred even using
a scale easily showing / miligram. But
il the mouse died in an open vessel,
loss within one-half minute of death Of 10
to 20 milligrams was noticeable. That
proved clearly that a gas was given off,
no weightleSS substance. \ human body
is too large to be put into a sealed glass
bottle, and therefore repeats the mouse
experiment with an open vessel. This is
furthermore proved by the amount in the
Boston experiment, said to be from one
half to one ounce. This tallies with that
of the gases of the body. The average
body weighs $50 pounds or 2,4O0 ounces.
The loss therefore was about 1000. A
mouse weighs 10000 to 10000 milligrams.
The loss was 1900 or the same ratio for
the same phenomenon"
