COREY'S SUCCESSOR.

Pittsburg. Pa, June 13.--lt seems as hard for the directors of the United States Steel Corporation to choose the successor to Corey as president as it was Corey to get his wife. W. r. Shy der has been the choice but he stated even though other matters could be arranged to his satisfaction. It is the request of his wife that he refuses to consider the matter. Mrs. Snyder, who is a social leader in Pittsburg. has expressed herself quite plainly on the subject, that the office of president of
 the big corporation must be disiniect-
 ed for it. Snyder would select as the
 next president of the corporation G. T.
 Thorp, who is now connected with the
 corporation as head of the Gary works
 near Chicago. Thorp is a protege of
 Snyder. Years ago Snyder built
 steel plant at Clairton, and he placed
 in charge Thorp, who gave great
 promise. Later Snyder sold the Clair
 ton works to the Crucible Steel Co.,,
 whose officials were about to let
 Thorp go, but Snyder told them that it
 would be great mistake, and they
 kept him, and when the plant was
 sold to the United States Steel Cor
 poration Thorp went along, and was soon found to be the brightest man in
 the valley. From there he went to Gary to manage the works there, and is now considered the man who stands the best chance of taking the presidents place But the Carnegie men say that the head must come from the Carnegie ranks, but it is be- lieved that the Corporation is not obliged to take it's head from the Car negie crowd if it can do much better

Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century

Most people believe that witchcraft among civilized people ended when the Salem witch mania" ran it's course and died out in the year 1892. It did as far as America is concerned except among sayages, but in other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until much later date, even if it can be truly said to be dead now. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as late as 1907 on the charge of being one who "communed with evil spirits" and in Spain a witch was burned in 1908. In 1850 in France q man and his wife tortured suspected witch to death, and nothing at all was done with them by the criminal courts on account of the lingering belief in sorcery. Four years later a witch was drowned ill England, and in 1860 one was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1S79 1880 and again in 1889 witches were publicly burned in Russia, and even as late as 1890 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Po- land and Austria-IAungary.

HOLDING BACK
 SPRING KNIT GOODS

New York, June 13-There is very little in the way of change i'll the knit goods market to comment upon for the past week except that prices have been continued to show an upward tendency with sellers refusing to book orders for 1908 lines until the situa- tion clears up somewhat Underwear manufacturers who opened their 1908 lines a week or more ago have become alarmed over the situation in the raw material market, notably the with drawal of yarn prices. When it is talk
 en into consideration that many of the new lines were opened and prices named without the manufacturers having covered requirements on yarns the anxiety displayed by the manu- facturers over the present situation is not to be wondered at. Prominent manufacturers who are handling the Well-known lines of underwear, who refused to name prices and are still holding back, are now congratulating themselves much on having followed this policy. It looks at the present time as if a very much sharper ad
 vance than was expected will be nam ed on these lines when they are open ed ca the 18th of this month Every
 thing points to higher raw material and also to difficulty in getting suffi- cient supplies even selling. agents in this market to withdraw all prices.

to forget that horses need exercise.
After working hard all summer and

the barn and feed them all they ran

cases is that the horses get too .at'

The Jamaica calamity has revived
the discussion as to whether earth
uuakes can be foretold, and scientists
do not seem to be able to reach any
conclusive opinion on the subject.
Some of them are certain that there
are phenomena which indicate such
disturbances but others have their
doubts. There have been some curl
GUS prophecies, a London meteorolo-
gist having on Saturday predicted
that there would soon be two earth
quake shocks in America, and doubt
less he will claim the Jamaica catas-
trophe and the tremor said to have
been felt in Pennsylvania as fulfill
ment. But it will be observed that he
furnishes no formula in the case, and
no one knows on what his calculation
was based. 1t may have been, and in
the minds of many who want proof
and not mere assertion was, nothing
but guesswork. much after the gen
eralizations of weather prophets
who fool the credulous by pretensions
TO knowledge which when analysed
prove to be the shallowest of charla
tanry. At all events, says the Troy
Times, the world at large is not YET
satisfied that any reliable method Of
foretelling earthquakes has been
found. Authoritative warnings Of
such events might be the means Of
saving many lives, even If damage te
Nroperty could not be averted.
