Machines for milking cows are in
high favor with the milking experts
of the Agricultural Department who
have been making tests with device
which shows many advantages over
the time-honored hand-power method.
The object OF these experiments is to
I pass upon the question as to whether
machine-milklng is more sanitary
process than handwriting and the
experts have declared in favor of the
former, claiming that the milk will
reach the consumer in condition as
near as possible to that in which i
is drawn from the udder OF a healthy
COW. There is also considerable time
to be saved in milking.
The new device is operated by either
hand or foot power, and one or two
cans can be MIXED at option. In the
operation of the machine the cows
teats are encased in cups attached by
rubber piping to suction pump and
the milk is drawn from the udders by
intermittent suction. The expert
ments made with this device not only
demonstrate its practicability, but
also shows a material reduction in
the percentage of germ life presen
under the hand-milking methods
The machine has already been in
stalled by several large dairies.
The Navy Department is taking an
active interest in the jamestown Ex-
position and in addition to as
sembling the largest fleet of American
warships ever gathered together at one
time, it is preparing an historic ex-
hibit for the Government Building
which is sure to be of interest to ali
visitors.
The exhibit consists of an eagle
ten feet high, weighing a ton and
carved entirely from wood. This
massive fgurehead was on the bow of
Captain Perry's flagship, the Niagara,
when the American squadron went to
Japan in 1866. Another relic is the
steel scroll removed from the stern of
the Olympia, the flagship of Admiral
Dewey, when he won his famous VIC
tory in Manila Bay. Among other
mementos going to jamestown will
be pictures of the Constitution,
Niagara, Susquehanna, of two British
warships laying the Atlantic cable, a
model of the first dry dock and the
old ships bell from the frigate, Con-

In the police court yesterday afternoon she was bound over in the sum of $500. one third of which amount is for, each offense. - The detective work necessary in the arrest of the negress was particularly clever.

At am other time word came that bracelet had been stolen from another of the clerks and this morning tie report was that a handsome silver bag. valued at SIS, had also taken wings and ap- parently flown from the person of the owner.
 Shortly before noon yesterday the negress at the department store was of suspicion. and locked in a cell at Police headquarters, pending an inves- tigation of the charge preferred. An investigation of the house in which the negrass resides, yesterday afternoon. No IA Nash street, led the officers to change the charge to three of grand larceny, with the results above mem tioned issuing from the trial.

 "That the wheels of Justice never stop grinding Is . proverb which was well exemplified in Justice of the Peace M. H. Screws court Christmas day. While some of the other justices were at their offices from force of habit, and others went hunting on the holiday. Judge Screws was at his office throughout the day, by himself most of the time, writing out garnish- ment papers.

IRON CONDITIONS
TRADE REPORTEDAS HAVING
IMPROVED IN PAST WEEK..
Market for Rails Notably Better and
Big New orders Anticipated-Great
Demand for Wire.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 5.-The iron
Trade Review today says:
The general tone of market condi-
tons during the last week has been
slightly better than during the previous
week. Pig iron is just as quiet as II
has been and no sales of Bessemer ex-
cept in very small lots are reported.
Foundry iron is moving in tonnages
ranging from carloads to 100-ton lots
with prices unchanged. It is in fin
ished lines that the improvement Is
noted.
The rail market has shown a de-
cided Improvement and the leading IN
terest during the week sold $4,000 tons
of standard sections. The Pennsyl-
vania, New York Central and Wabash
contracts are expected within a short
time, or as soon as the committee hav-
ing the 1908 specification under ad-
visement makes its report. Contracts
already placed will be given rail &c
cording to the decision Of the com
mittee.
Since the dissolution OF the shafting
associa ton, prices ave declined sharp
ly. The~ demand for merchant pipe Is
active, and mills are having difficulty
in making shipments fast enough to
satisfy buyers. New business in tin
plate is light. but shows some improve
ment.
owing to the long continued heavy
demand for wire products. an advance
of 81 per ton is announced. The pros
perity of the farmers and the favora-
BILE prospects for crops have been an
important factor in the prosperity of
the wire industry. The demand for
structural material is strong, although
not quite as active as last month,
when the American Bridge Company
booked the largest tonnage of any
month in it's history.
Machine tool manufacturers report
Improvement in business. with an
active demand for all that they can
turn out. Orders from foreign coun-
tries are coming In at an encouraging
rate.
THE coke market is firm and the
demand active. Old material Is weak.

expected considering all the ~unfavora-

ANTWERP'S BIG FIRE
STILL RAGING TODAY.
Strikers Set Fire to Warehouses, Max
ing Blaze That Illuminated
the Whole City.

ANTWERP, Sept. 5.-The fire that
was started last night in a lumber
yard by the strikers is still raging
and threatens to destroy the entire
timber dock and also a block Of build
ings. About midnight the strikers set
fire to two warehouses and the whole
city was illuminated. Firemen have
been summoned from Brussels and
Client.
A more disastrous fire than that
of Tuesday night ravaged the tim
Der dock last night. 1t origin
ated undoubtedly among the riot
Gus strikers who had previously set
fire to bales of cotton. mattresses and
timber which had been soaked With
petroleum.
Nine great sheds were soon ablaze.
The heat was so intense that nobody
could approach within 200 yeards of the
fire. Enormous crowds gathered to
watch the great column of smoke md
flames. The damage was $2,oe0,00O.
Two battalions of infantry guard the
district where the fire is raging, but
there has been no rioting beyond con-
tinued attacks upon the imported Eng
fish lockers. Two hundred Civic
Guards are on duty and an order for
hiding the formation of crowds Is being
enforced.

ANCIENT PEAR TREES.
Regarded as a Curiosity and Stands in
Columbus Town Limits.

MOUNT HOLLY, Sept. "a rare Curl
osity in the line of horticulture in this
country is a sour pear orchard seventy
five years old, located at Columbus, on the
property owned by the late Benjamin,
Gibbs, who planted this orchard threes
quarters of a century ago. 1t is located ip
the town limits and has been considered a
wonder for a long time.
These pear trees are all of the sour
variety, which are now considered of no
earthly value except for splicing and pick
ling. In the days when this richard was
planted. however, the fruit found ready
sale. 1t is not believed that its duplicate
can be found in the United States.
When this orchard first came into bear
ing 1t was a paying investment. and in
tina quiet little Quaker town there are
men today who remember having made as
high as 81 per day gathering the fruit
from these trees when the orchard was in
its prime.
Though little attention has been paid to
the orchard. some OF the trees are still
bearing fruit, but it has practically passed
the period OF fruitful production. Although
the trees are long-lived, they will be
permitted to stand until they fall from
decay.

HARTMAN THROWS BIG
BOUQUET AT HIMSELF,
It was He Who Foresaw the Possibili-
ties Of Making the Western Desert
Bloom as the Rose.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Sept. BE. II.
Hartman, in an address to the National
Irrigation Congress last night. told how he
came to take control OF the Union Pacinc
and the Southern Pacific railroads and OF
the attitude of these railway systems to-
ward irrigation and forestry. Hartman
and Governor Chamberlain, Of Oregon
president of the congress, engaged In a
mild debate, Hartman rising to reply to
certain remarks of oregon's chief execu-
tive.
Hartman said that when he suggested to
associates east of the Mississippi River
that they AXE hold of the Union Pacihc
they regarded him as almost out OF his
senses and asked what he was going to DO
with the great desert that the roads ira
versed.
IT told them of the possibility of irriga-
tion,'' said Hartman, "but they replied
that 1t would come In another generation
not In ours. 1 had to go it alone. and per-
haps some of them now regret that ! did
not use more force and persuasion to have
them go along with me-"
Hartman said that the Pacific railroads
controlled much timber land in oregon, but
1t was not for sale. The timber is to be
saved for future generations.
