That China is slowly taking on mod
ern ways is evidenced in many things
A very large Touring mill is being
erected at Hongkong, China, and it is
thought that the mill will be in work
ing order in about eighteen months
The capacity will be 5000 sacks of fiouI
per day. The mill will be run by elec'
tricity, and the water running the
dynamos win be stored in reservoir
containing 450.000000 gallons. This
water is fed over fall at 325 feet from
the mill. There will also be an auxil.
iary petroleum engine set up in case OF
any failure or disturbance Of the elec
tric power. The dynamos will develop
600 horsepower The command OF
such cheap power will considerably re
duce the cost of production and enable
the mill to compete with foreign mills
About 800 Chinese will be employed
The mill is expected to supply the
trade at Hongkong and later the coast
and inland trade.

James Whitcomb Riley.

In the current issue of Talent there
appears a story of how this poet, who
sings from the heart out" rose from
the tail end of patent medicine and
concert wagon to his present popular
ity. Riley was for years a writer on
country papers. His first contribution
to the public at large was supposed to
be the amateur effort of one Ben F.
Johnson. This was "The Old Swim.
min Hole" In note to the editor the
mythical johnson told how the verses
submitted had pleased his friends,
who were "astin' to have 'em struck
off"
Under this pen name James Whit
comb Riley made his literary bow, and
his first book 1.-THE Old Swimmin'
Hole and 'Leven More Poems." was
published the next year. OF his earlier
experiences with the muse we read in
Talent:
The father. a country lawyer, wished
his son to study for admission to the bar;
but. to quote from Nyes autobiography
of Riley" Finding that political econ
omy and Blackstone didn't rhyme, he
slid out of the office one hot, sultry after
noon and ran away with a patent medi-
cine and concert wagon. from the tail end
of which he was discovered by some rela-
tives in the next town violently abusing
bass drum" Here he not only rewrote
many of the songs sung by the company,
but composed some original stories and
verses. Once, in later years, after he had
given a recital for President Cleveland
and distinguished guests at the White
House, some one asked him where he had
found a certain poem that had received
great applause. The reply was, II wrote
that myself to recite from the steps of
medicine wagon in aiana-"

Henry B. Irving's first appearance on
the American stage naturally resulted
in comparisons between his acting and
that of his famous father. Sir Henry.
All the critics comment upon the strik-
ing points of physical resemblance,
which they regard as in some ways
both an advantage and handicap, and
many detect in his acting and his voice
reflections of some of his fathers pc
culiar mannerisms These resem-
blances. however. they attribute to
heredity and not to conscious imita-
ton. He is discussed as a promising
candidate for that place of pre-emi
nence in the theatrical world lately
left vacant by Sir Henry. The New
York Evening Post recognizes ''his
conspicuous but unripe ability" and
adds that he has much to learn yet
before he can hope to fill that place,
but that "there is no good reason ap-
parently why he should not aspire to
it."
The critic of the New York Times
places young Irving far above the rest
of the newer generation of actors,
Less enthusiastic, the Suns dramatic
editor found ''the note of authentic
genius conspicuohsly lacking in the
performance, although ia ent was pres
ent in the highest degree. In the New
York Tribune William Winter ends q
review, in which he credits Irving with
many strong qualities which go to
make an actor with the verdict, HE
does not appeal to the heart"

The Making Of a Famous Document

To the June American Magazine
Ida NJ. Tarbell contributes an inter-

in the White House in 1887. That
was the wear in which Mr.. Cleveland

reference to any subject other then
the tariff. of the making of that
document Miss Tarbell writes:

a lawyer, accustomed to presenting
wat ne had to say in the involved
5 .ntences and more or less technical
aid powerful terms Of the law. He
had a taste, too, for sonorous and
unusual words and phrases, but now
he wanted to be simple, as simple as
he could be and still be dignifed.
For weeks he kept his message within
reach in the drawer of his White
House workable. Whenever he had
a moment, he took it out to add to and
to correct. FinallG he had the struc

"He took no one into his confidence
Finally, one day afterit was complete,
Mr.. Carlisle called on some business.
When he had finished Mr.. Cleveland
said; "Carlisle, l want to read you
something" 1t was his message. He
had decided to present it practically
as it was, he said, but he was afraid
he had made it too simple. He wanted
it perfectly digniied, Would Mr..

gestions he might have? Walking up

sion, using the discretionary power
vested in it by law, has made an i'm
pOrtant modification CT that section
Of the rate act requiring carriers TO
post schedules of tariffs Under sec
ton of that act it is provided that
copies of tariffs shall be posted in two
conspicuous places in every railroad
station in order that they may be in
spected conveniently by the public.
The requirements of section may
be modified in the discretion of the
commission, either in particular in
stances or by a general order appGca-
BILE to special or peculiar cirCumstan-
ces or conditions.
Realizing the impraCticability of a
strict compliance with this feature OF
the act, the commission has ordered
that at points at which all tariffs are
not posted a complete file of the car
riey's tariffs shall be kept in charge
and custody of the agent and that
notice shall be posted in two COnSpic-
uoUs and public places in every sta
ton to the effect that such tariffs
may be examined upon application to
the proper officer.
The commission has issued a tariff
circular pertaining 70 the cOnstrUc-
ton, publication and Tling of freight
and passenger schedules, classified
tons, etc. together with administTa-
tive rulings and opinions. The com
mission expresses the opinion that
carriers may lawfully make special
rates for the movement of federal
troops when such movement is under
orders and at the expense of the
United States, and that the rates so
made need not be posted or filed,
which ruling applies to similar trans
portation for the naval and marine
