ery respect, having been designed and
constructed with view Of making the
room strictly sanitary by giving plen-
ty of light and ventilation-an ideal
place in which to work. The ceiling
is 22 feet high, and with large moni-
tor extending almost the full length
of the mill and SO feet wide. No dam
gerous or unsightly shafting Is to be
seen, as all drives are from the base
ment. While speaking of Clover's
mills it may not be amiss to mention
a few facts regarding the past history
of this now large and modern plant.
The first mill was organized in 1890
with only about $4,000 capital sub
scribed. Three thousand spindles
were put in, making No. 26s yarn. In
1892 about 1000 more spindles were
added, filling the building and giving
5000 spindles all told. No further
improvements were made worth men
tioning until 1899 and 1900, when
Mill No. was constructed and rad
ical departure made in the quality
and style Of yarns to be spun, that is
fine combed Egyptian yarns, and the
first pound Of combed yarn ever made
south Of Philadelphia was spun in
this mill. From a little mill Of 5000
spindles in 1890 with capital Of $780,
600 Clover's mills now represent an
outlay of over 100000 with $1,000
spindles and $4,000 square feet of
floor space. Mill No. was construct
ed with a view Of giving all the help
day work and Of stopping night work,
which will be done shortly. The fol-
lowing presidents have served the

Taking Care of the Cents.

The habit Of looking after little
unnecessary small
drains-taking care Of the cents-is
the habit of thrift. Thrift is a virtue
in men and nations. 1t is not we'll
that any one would be stingy, but 1t
is we'll that everyone should strive
to be thrifty. 1t Is related Of the late
Senator Hoar that once while riding
on a street car in Washington he re-
marked to a friend that he found
great difficulty in living on his in
come. While the conversation was In
progress, the conductor passed
through the car collecting the fares
The senator's acquaintance paid his
fare with a ticket, while Senator Hoar
paid his fare with a nickel. Then his
friend said, II see why you are poor
Everybody is bound to be poor who
turns down chances to make twenty
per cent on his money. When you
pay your car fare in nickels you get
twenty rides for n dollar, but If you
bought tickets you would get twenty
five rides for a dollar. You must be
provident If you want to be rich

About the Same.

Previous to the year 1905, the ex-
preston was common that all life In
surance companies are about the
same" It was used alike by laymen
and agents Of practically every COM
pany except the Mutual Benefit. The
laymen believed 1t to be true because
the agents had told them so. The
agents knew 1t was not, but In order
to keep the people fooled they must,
when they came in competition with
the Mutual Benefit, make the asser-
ton In order to keep the prospect from
looking before he leaped. Since the
Armstrong Committee lifted the Lid In
New York In 1906 the laymen have
learned that "all life companies are
not about the same" and that the Mu-
tual Benefit Is the only one that could
and did stand every test that could be
applied, and prove by its record that
Il was in a class by itself and did and
had always given each and every
member a square deal under all cir
cumstances. No better proof Of these
assertions, 1t seems, could be offered
than the fact that in 1905 its agents
wrote more business than during any
year of the 81 1t had been in business,
while almost all Of the "just about the
same" companies wrote from 10 to Is
per cent. less. All I ask for Is q

LAKE TO GULF WATERWAY.
John Barrett Argues in Favor of Its
Constru ction

CHICAGO, September 0.-"The great
middle west will control the trade of the
entire west coast of South America when
the Panama canal is completed providing
the deep waterway from the lakes TO the
gulf is constructed. Otherwise 1T will be
Japan, Germany and England which will
exercise commercial sway over this vast
empire to be opened up"
This statement was made yesterday by
John Barrett, director of the .nterna-
has been in Chicago for several days
comforting with men interested in the
deep-waterway proposition. 1t is his con-
tention that the federal government
should lend all the aid necessary Tor the
construction of this ship canal TO make
the great advantages of the Panama
canal available to the Mississippi valley.
Mr. Barrett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate the
value of products which these republics
will then be purchasing from foreign
countries at $500, 100000.
The major portion of these supplies
will come from America If the great
manufacturing centers of the middle west
are provided with water transportation.
1t requires stretch of Imagination to
conceive boats or barges loaded in Chi
cagO, Joliet or other points in this manu-
featuring district making the entire trip.
America has been slow to improve its
waterways, much more so than any other
of the great powers, and 1t is time we
awoke to the advantages to be ootained.'

THE LEADING THEosoPHIsT.
Mrs. Besant, Newly Elected Head Of
Society, Coming Here.

NEW YORK, September 9-AIrs. Annie
Besant, the newly elected president Of the
Philosophical Society, Is expected to arrive
from Bremen September 3 on the steamer
Kronprinzessin Cecilie. Mrs. Besant's chief
object in coming to the United States is to
attend the twenty-frst annual convention
Of the American section of the Theosophi-
cal Society, which begins in Chicago Sun
day, September 10. She will be heard in
other cities, however, for she is to remain
in this country about a month, and after
the convention closes will lecture va
rious occult subjects In Boston, Philadel-
phia and this city.
p. Blavatsky and Col II. S. Ocott formed
in this city the society which has since
grown to such proportions. Now that
those two are dead. Mrs Besant is looked
upon as the leading theosophist in the
world She Is one of the busiest of women,
and, 1t is said, one of the most magnetic;
and SO cosmopolitan that she is equally at
home before oriental French. German
or English audience.
Theosophists give William T. Stead, editor
of the London Review of Reviews, n good
deal of credit for Mrs. Besants conversion
to theosophy. When Nine. Blavatsky's two
volumes on Secret Doctrine came out,
many years ago, Mr.. Stead asked Mrs. Be-
SAINT to review them. She did and became a
theosophist in the process. This will be
Mrs Besants fourth trip to America. She
will be accompanied here by Mrs. Marie
Barnard Russak After her months stay
she will go again to Adyar, India, the head
quarters Of the Theosophcal Society.

Eveiina Palmer, daughter of Mrs Robert
Able of New York, will be married here
today to Angelo Sikelianas, a Greek who
has won recognition in this country for h:s
poems and philosophical writings.
The marriage is arousing interest not only
because of the union of the young Ameri-
can girl and the Greek post, but because
of the social prominence of tn brides fam
lily and her own unconventional ideals n the
matter of dress.
Possessed of an ndep andent fortune in
her own right. Mis-; Palmer has Travelled
much. On her last voyage she returned
from Europe August II aboard the Lor-
raine, and was the most observed person
in the crowded first cabin because her at
tire was that of Greek maid OF the days
when Greece was the home of art and liz
erature. Clad in a loose robe of Tyrian
purple cnctured just above the hips with a
loose belt, and wearing sandals on her bare
feet Miss Palmer had to bear constant
curious scrutiny from her fellow passen
gers She told friends that she had adopted
her unusual attire principally because of its
comfort and her belief that it was the mos
heathful.

Race Track Problem Solved.

In the construction of an automobile
track at Weymouth, England, the con-
tractors were confronted with the matter of
carrying the road over stream which
crossed the track at one end where it was
necessary to bank the track in order that
the vehicles might make the turn without
sacrifice of speed. The problem was solved
by the erection of bridge of reinforced
concrete. which in many particulars Is one
o. the most unique structures in the world.
1t Is in all respects a bridge crossing a
stream with one side, from end to end, q
few feet above the water, while the other
side is forty feet above. The surface of the
bridge is warped or bowl shape, to con.
form with the shape of the track at each
approach.

MINIATURES WAY.
Gets Her Lights for Less Than Actual
Cost.

An agitation made in Milwaukee in favor
of a municipal electric plant has resulted
in the making of a contract with a local
company by which the city illumination will
be done at a rate lower than the actual
cost per lamp, as shown by the books of
the municipal plant at Detroit. The con-
tract is for ten years, and the city is to get
a discount over the actual cost Of prOduc-
ing the current at Detroit. Despite this
favorable arrangement, there is an element
still clamoring for the construction of a
municipal plant. which means an expert
ment involving delay and a great invest
ment of money. These persons are holding
up other improvements while they hammer
away in favor of municipal ownership
scheme which they have prepared.
