DUN's TRADE REVIEW.
Reports Of Retail Business are Favor

are Not SO Bright.

New York, Sept. 2S.-R. G. Dun e
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower temperature accelerated the
distribution of seasonable merchan-
disc and mercantile collections be-
came more prompt, but agricultural
prospects were less bright in few
sections that experienced killing frost
before the crops were beyond danger.
Reports OF retail trade are favorable
with scarcely any exception, the fall
demand equaling sangulne eXpecta-
tions, and iobbers in all leading lines
Of wearing apparel report the seasons s
results equal to last years.
Manufacturing returns are more ir-
regular, but most plants are well oc-
cupied and have orders covering pro
duction for some months. Purchases
for more remote delivery are restrict
ed by the financial uncertainty. Scare
ity of labor retards work at many
points, while other delays are due to
strikes, of which several are in pro
gress. There Is also much complaint
of car shortage, but not more than Is
customary at this season.
Iron and steel producers are still
fully occupied filling old orders and
many plants have enough business on
hand to be Independent during the
balance of this year, but new con
tracts are placed with increasing eau

WHEN YOUTHFUL PITCHER
"SH0WED UP" VETERAN
"KIcKAPoo SUMMERS GOT EVEN
WITH PLAYER WHO CALLED
HIM YELLOW.

Pitcher "Kickapoo" Summers, OF
the indianapolis club Of the American
association, who joined the Detroit
Tigers to help out in the last month
of the pennant race, went to the big
league with a reputation'for unlimited
nerve and pluck. A recent experience
with Dick Cooley the old major
league player, now with Louisville, in
indianapolis, shows Summers quail
ty. 1t happened after Summers had
been sold TO the Tigers Cooley was
on the coaching line and told the
young pitcher he would last about Q
week with the Detroit club.
"It's mystery to me" said Cooley,
chat you have lasted in this COM
pany as long as you have with that
long streak of yellow of yours coming
to the front whenever you are caught
in a pinch"
Summers kept right on pitching un-
I'll he retired the batsman. Cooley was
next up and as he approached the
plate Summers said: Now I'm going
to show that you are yellow all the
way through, even If you did CON the
big leagues for years"
Summers shot in two incurves SO
close that Cooley had to turn somer-
! saults to keep from getting hit in the
head then Summers bent three out
curves over the plate and Cooley was
called out on strikes. Summers start
ed the strikes straight at Cooley's
head and curved them over the plate,
1t was laughable the way the young
pitcher showed up the veteran, who
either ducked or backed away from
the plate each time.

Washington, Sept 2S.-Maj. Will

make the physical examinations of
the field officers on duty in the war de-
partment who are required to take the
15-mile test ride ON October s, in ac-
cordance with President Roosevelts
order. Every officer affected by the
order must be physically examined be-

found to be in such physical condition
that taking the test might endanger
his life will not be required to take
the ride"
A second physical examination is
to be taken Immediately after the
ride to make sure that the officers
have not injured themselves.
According to list prepared at the
war department 60 field officers whose
names are given in a list already
made public, are eligible for this ride,
including four colonels, 16 lieutenant

Scheme Of cantiIlon.

Fans and players the world over
have been wondering why and where
fore Joe Cantillon was assembling
such an army of young players-how
he could handle them all, twenty-eight
of them, and when they would get any
sort of trial.
Joe, so goes the newest story, has
obtained the controlling interest in the
San Diego club. down in Southern Cal.
ifornia. At San Diego they play win.
ter ball, the genial climate making a
home run positively delightful on the
22d of December.
II is Joe's idea to stock San Diego
with his kid players, 30 out there him
self for at least part OF the winter and
watch the youths perform.
The winter league enlists a lot OF
crackeriack players from the east, and
the company will be plenty fast
enough to show the youngsters in
their quickest PAGES.
Those who make good will be given
a chance at Washington in the spring;
those who fail can go back to the
little league whence they came.
1t Is good idea-if true--and re.
fleets credit on the think tank OF j..
Cantillon.

do she declared. 81 know they do,
and IL is wicked to kill them as they
have been killed this summer on sus-
picion of having rabies. Not one dog
in 100 killed for that disease has IT,,
and to kill them in lots of so, as has
been done here, is nothing less than
criminal"
Mrs. Smith recently lost a pet dog.
The dog catcher brought one TO her
for inspection, but 1t was not hers,
When she knew it was to be killed
tears came in her eyes, and she said:
Never mind, doggle; you will go TO
Heaven and a great deal happier than
you would be here" In reply TO a
question as to whether she really be.
lieved that dogs go to Heaven, she
said why shouldn't they? If peo-

are great deal better than most poo

the most faithful friend anybody ever
had"

CAN'T LOCATE THE
.n TRUSTEES BOOKS
SAYS HE is ON A HOT TRAIL.
LAWYER KELLOGG TRIES TO
FIND STANDARD OIL RECORDS.
More Testimony Is Taken Showing
Enormous Profits Of Pipe Line
companies-The Hearing Is
IL Adjourned for a Week.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Frank B. Kel-
logg, conducting the suit of the Uni
ted States for the dissolution Of the
Standard oil Company of New Jersey,
made another hunt Friday in the hear
ing of the oil case to discover trail
that would lead to the finding of the
long-sought books of the Standard Oil
trustees and liQuidating trustees.
When the hearing was concluded Mr.
Kellogg said that he was closer to the
books. from which he hopes to prove
that the oil combine never underwent
a legal dissolution, than he had been
at any time since the governments
action was commenced.
Charles White, assistant secretary
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, said on the witness stand that
when he went to the secretarys office
to assume his new duties there were
two steel safes in the office. One of
them contained the books and records
OF the Standard Co.; what was in the
other safe he did not know Mr.. White
said that no one told him the nature
of the contents of the second safe,
which was removed two weeks after
he had been there From whom the
the witness said he could not answer
Mr.. White said that he had never
seen the records of the Standard Oil
trustees or the liquidating trustees
showing the various transfers Of stock
in the trust and liquidating period. Mr..
White said he had hunted for the rec
ords recently, but was unable to find
them.
More testimony was taken to show
the profits of some or the Standards
subsidiary pipe lines, which, the gov
ernments counsel declares, are eX-
cessive and maintained to prevent
shipments of crude oil by Independent
producers. George Chesebro, control
Ter of several of these subsidiary
pipe lines, testified that the Southern
Pipe Line Co. of Pennsylvania, earned
$4,376,61S gross in 1899, and that the
operating expenses were only $3l6,522.
The case was adjourned Friday I'M
til next Thursday in order that John
G.. Milburn, one of the defendants
counsel, might attend the Mckinley
monument dedication.

TOAD is 5000 YEARS OLD.
Dug Out Of Solid Cement Bed by
Australian Miner.

Melbourne.-A miner has sent to
the geological gardens, Perth, live
toad which he dug out of a strata of
hard cement while sinking shaft
with explosives. 1t is believed that
the creature has been entombed for
centuries.
When released from confinement
the toad was quite inanimate. It's
eyes, which were transparent, with no
pupil, gradually became normal, and
1t is now in excellent health.
The chamber in which 1t was con.
fined was perfectly smooth and there
was no room for movement The toad
Is now being examined by geologlsts.
The secretary of the geological gar
dens cites an instance of toad be-
ing found in bed of magnesium lime
stone 25 feet under the earth. The
age of the toad was believed to be
5000 years. This creature was pre-.
sented to the Hartlepool museum.
ut is well known" he says, that
toads at the present day bury them
selves in mud when the water in
which they have been living dries up
and so remain there till the next rains
come.
IF drought sets in, and no rain
comes to that spot, there will be
no change in the condition of the toad
and therefore nothing to bring him
to state of animation, and so he
may continue for all time, until some
one comes along with plug of gelig
mite to unearth him.
"This seems very hard to believe
but still we have the fact that the
toads are there, alive, and so must
have got there somehow. In some
cases they have been found at greaI
depths under the surface imbedded IL
rock, as in the present instance.
"The toads seem to be in a state
of suspended animation, and do moi
lose weight when in that condition"

MOOSE scAREs CAMPERS.
Enraged Monarch Of the Woods Scat
tered Merry Party.

Duluth, MINI. A bull moose
brought genuine terror into the camp
of men and women fishing on the Riv-
or Blenol, near Port Arthur, Ont, a
few days ago. Capt. II. A. White, Of
tho freighter Barlow, had several
women passengers on the ship, which
carried cargo of coal to Port Arthur.
During the unloading he took the
party up the river on launch to fish
for trout. They built a fire near their
camp, and toward evening, when all
were near, bull moose appeared His
attitude was not hostile until one of
the men fired revolver in the air to
frighten him. Then, instead of being
scared the moose showed fight.
The women took refuge behind the
men and then the men fell back lit.
tie way. They feared to shoot the
moose with a revolver, lest, If wound,
ed, the moose would kill everybody,
and held their weapons in readiness
as last resort. The moose approach
ed the fire, shaking his head in anger,
and after scattering the fire with his
antlers disappeared much to the re-
lief of the party.

MAPPING THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
Great Work lnaugurated by the Ma.
tlonal Government.

More progress than ever will be
made this year on the great map of
the country which shows all the sur.
face forms of the land, every hamlet
and every house excepting where they
stand closely together in towns and
cities. New sheets will be made this
season in 81 states and four territories.
The summer field work is all outlined
excepting in New York and Pennsyl.
vania. Survey parties are in the field
and the work is being vigorously
pushed.
No country has ever made such
rapid progress with its Topographic
surveys, area for area, as the United
States. Only little more than a third
OF our territory is yet surveyed for the
purposes of the big map, but this is
merely because our lanu surface. in.
GLIDING Alaska, is nearly as large as
the whole of Europe. To make as good
a map of our domain as that which we
can now buy of nearly the whole of
Europe we shall have to do nearly as
much surveying as all the European
powers have done together Only four
or our states-Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New jersey
have so far been completely Mapped
but the maps of several other states
will soon be finished.

ment, returns have reached Washing
ton showing that a remarkable degree
of proficiency in target shooting has
been reached by the gunners of the
fleet. 1t is particularly gratifying to
the officials of the department to note
that this shooting has been accom-
plished at ranges that a few years ago
would have been considered absolute
ly impossible.
For instance, in the Spanish war
Admiral Schley was criticized for
bombarding the Santiago Moro cas-
tie at a distance of 1000 yards;
yet the vessels of the Atlantic
feet during the past fortnight have
been making splendid gun practice at
ranges from 1000 to 5000 yards. The
battleship Alabama has finished her
practice and appears TO be an easy
winner. She made the remarkable
score Of so per cent. of hits with her
l3-inch guns at a distance of about
5000 yards, or nearly 312 miles. Her
firing was directed by Lieut. Landen-
berger, who was a member of the navy

trophy at Camp Perry, o., last month,
The target used by all the ships was
a canvas screen 80 feet high and 60
feet wide, yet It looked remarkably
small at a distance of from three to
four miles. The battleships steamed
past at ten knots, beginning to shoot
at the target when it was 5000 yards
away, the nearest distance, and con
tinued shooting until the range be.
