HEROES OF 1906.
Statistics of a Crop of Which This
 Country Is Proud.

The crop of American heroes for 1906 was a bumper one. Beginning with the Life Saving Service, writer in the Worlds work gives some fig ures which stir ones faith in human nature to an agreeable thrill or ad- miration.
 During the twelve months end ing June 30. 1906. 365 vessels flew the signal of distress within sight of our coasts. That is one disaster for every day in the year.
 Of 4.0s9 persons whose lives were thus jeopardized. by shipwreck and fire. in summer gales and winter bliz- zards, all but 27 were saved by the service. Furthermore. 420 smaller craft were aided, containing 955 per- sons. only ten of whom were lost. ! During the year 1906 nine mem- bers of the New York fire department were killed and 150 injured. Fortu- nately not all the heroes of the de- partment were killed or injured. as these figures do not cover the ques- tion.
 From the beginning of the oper- ation of the Carnegie hero fund, April Is. 1901. to December 3l, 1906, its agents have investigated l.424 cases that were reported to it. Elimi- hating 542 cases in which the act was performed as a duty. 26s cases in which the act was performed be- fore the fund became operative and $50 cases that either were not with in the scope of the fund or are still under investigation. the agents have passed upon 63 cases of undoubted brilliant herOism. In every one oi these cases the agents got the testi' mony of eyewitnesses and siftet their evidence by means of the most rigorous tests.
 These cases are distributed as fol lows: One each in Georgia. Iowa Kentucky. Michigan. South Carolin; and Virginia: two each in Connecti cut. Illinois. Indiana and Maine three each in Idaho and Massachu setts: five each in New York ant Wisconsin: eight each in New Jerse! and Ohio: thirteen In Pennsylvania two in Ontario. one in Quebec an' one in Saskatchewan.

Tn New York there are three train ing schools, 10 High schools, ig0 ele- mentary schools. two truant schools and one nautical school, a total of 5lo. The registered number enrolled in these schools is about 6O0,0m, or as many as the entire population of St Louis. the fourth city in the union. Half of them are boys of which about 10000 attend the High schools. The college of the city of New York has about 4.OCo male students. For the purpose of interesting these chil- dren in athletics certain gentlemen in- terested in philanthropic work orga- nized the Public Schools Athletic league. and during the year 1906 there were 10000 entries in the games con- ducted by this league. In 1905 the league undertook the work of inter- esting the children in rifle practice and through the benevolence of cer- tain prominent citizens 1t had estab- Iished ten subtarget machines Tn as many High schools. Since then it has been able to equip all the High schools. These machines are fitted with tho ordinary Krag army rife and an electrical attachment is made with the target so that when a rife Is aimed and fired record is made of here the shot would have struck had the rife been loaded. Thus there iS absolutely no danger attached to this practice. Harry Payne Whitney has presented 2 beautiful bronze has relief reproduction of Battle of Lex ingtou'' for annual competition.

MT Hartman appears to be having a hard time. and the world notorious ly likes to kick man when he is down. To be sure Mir Hartman if he is down has many million dollars and several profitable railroads in his pocket. But the general idea seems to be that he is due for the tiercest prosecution the government can frame up. Senator Cullom on walk ing from the White house the other day. said that if there was law capable of doing it. Mir Hartman ought to be put behind the bars for a term of years. Governor Deneen unquestlonably came to the White house at the invitation of the presi- dent to see what could be done by the state of Illinois in the way of a state prosecution of Hartman for his loot ing of the Alton. There are two spe- cial attorneys for the Interstate com merce commission now working on the case of the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific and they will make A report to the Interstate commission by whom it will he transmitted to the department of justice. for action if possible under the sherman anti trust law. Indeed it is said that there is fair chance of convicting Hartman under the sherman act. the case of his two railroads being almost the duplicate of the Northern securi- ties case.

Speaking of the sale of alcohol in Norway Consul Johnson says that the most remarkable fact in the history of the sobriety of the country is that while the population increased by about 60 per cent during the period 1S51-1905 and the imports per inhabi- tant by about 300 per cent, and the exports by about POO per cent, the consumption of alcohol per inhabitant decreased by about 45 per cent. The decrease in the consumption of alec hol per inhabitant was most marked between the years 1871 and 1905, dur ing the Samlag period.

probably others are proposed. The New York Central railroad elcctrit- cation and terminal work approxi- mately equals the Hudson company or Pennsylvania enterprises in total outlay. The new water supply from the Catskills alone involve an eXpen- diture equal to that contemplated for the Isthmian canal. Bridges add an
 item of $5O.0OO,000, and the grand total is in excess of $60O, OO0,0OO or three times the estimate for Panama.

MeMegR OF The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Records of seeding time that have
been kept show that there were only
five years in sixteen in which seeding
has begun later than this year. This
is nearly one year out of three, SO
that there does not seem to be any
especial cause for alarm over the
lateness of the season, if the present
Indictment weather would break and
be followed by sunshine and warmth.
Naturally there is good deal of un-
easiness and anxiety among the peo-
pie in those sections where snow con-
tinues to fall and there has not been
a complete breakup Of winter. Gen
eral business conditions hinge to some
extent at this season upon the indica-
lions for crop, and the anxiety is not
confined to the farmers themselves
but to the many classes whose pros
perity hinges upon that of the farmer.
North Dakota is state of many re-
sources, however, and where it is not
possible to seed one crop it is possible
to seed another.
