HARTMAN MAY
Get GOULOLINES
NECESSARY TO REFlNANcE AND
REoRoANlZE THE ENTIRE
SYSTEM.

CHICAGO, July IA New YOrE
special to the Record-Herald says:
Wall Street and the railroad and e
nancial world is wrought up to the
highest pitch over the extreme posi-.
billty of the elimination of George ].
Gould from the galaxy Of railroad
magnates and the substitution Of Ed
ward H Harrison in his stead The
matter became acute today when
It was stated that Mr.. Gould woulo
return from Europe Tuesday and
seek the aid of Kuhn, Loeb & Com
pany in refinancing and recognizing
his railway properties.
There are strong limitations that
the banking interests will insist that
Hartman be given control. Negotia-
tons have been carried on for sew
eral months between Gould, Kuhn,
Loeb & Company and the Hartman
interests concerning the Gould prop
critics. AS the negotiations now
stand there os a fair probability that
they will go through and that the re-
suit will mean an entire change and
reorganization Of all the Gould lines
in the East and the elimination of
George ]. Gould as the autocrat Of the
Gould system.
1t is recognized in Wall street and
even in circles closely associated with
Mr.. Gould that he cannot continue to
stand alone. Before he sailed abroad
Mr.. Gould had may conferences In
the matter of the Gould situation in
the East with E. H. Hartman and
also with Kuhn, Loeb & Company, and
while as yet nothing has been definite
ly done, the matter win be taken up
again on Mr.. Gould's return, and there |
is a fair probability that the idea will
be carried through. The position OF
the Gould lines in the East, as all |
know, is precarious The lines are in
urgent need or renef, and most or
them will get it through reorganiza-
ton.
There is good reason for stating
that Mr.. Gould is anxious for the
banking financial support that would
come from Kuhn, Loeb & Company
and E. H Hartman The deal will
make Hartman the greatest railway
king in history. He will be in abso-
lutte control of the vast systems from
ocean to ocean and from the Great
Lakes to the gulf. He will have pow
lions. The only formidable competi- i
tor will be James ]. Hill in the North
west. Is

HEAVY GAINS
ARE EXPECTED
CHAIRMAN LLOYD BELIEVES THE
NEXT HOUSE WILL BE
DEMOCRATIC.

| WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Reprc
sentative Lloyd. of Missouri, chan
mar of the Democratic Campaigi
Committee, returned this morning
from the West, fresh from confer

make periodical visit to Washington
to give suggestions here.
Said Mr. Lloyd this afternoon:

National Committee and will keep
close together. The Democratic cam.
paign this year is going to be some
thing new in recent times; 1t will re-
call the old days of real organization
and practical politics. The selection
of Mack for national chairman means
business methods, organization and
the best use Of all energies. 1t has
inspired everybody with confidence.
"As to the specific gains we expect
to make, l can't make statements at
this time. We don't expect must

control of the House we will have the

which is everywhere in the Middle

anything like the present protest
against Cannonism, and it will be put
right to the front in our campaign.

EARLY RISING rs CONDEMNED.
q Habit Which May Severely Tax tho

There is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods Of the
day. Except in summer time they
are apt to be damp, foggy, chilly and
among the least desirable hours of
daylight. 1t is quite true that during
the summer there is a sense of exhil-
arat1on about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this evapo-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by corresponding depres-
sion and loss Of working power later

hours Is an expensive luxury which

In fact, have found that as a general

an hour before 1880 or 8, goes to

ASSOCIATION OF MISSISSIPPI TEACHERS.
A Record Breaking Attendance Is Expected at
the Convention at Jackson on April 80
and May / and 2.

Jackson, Miss, April /. That there
will be a record breaking attendance at
the annual convention of the Missis-
sippi Teachers's Association, to be held
in this city on April 30th, May lst and
End, is indicated by reports received at
the office of the State Superintendent of
Education, and it will not be surprising
if from 1000 to 2 ,250 teachers attend the
gathering.
In large number of counties the To-
cal associations of teachers held their
sessions last Saturday, and it was de-
cided by many of thepl to attend the
convention in body, assurance having
been given by school trustees that the
customary day will be permitted in order
to cradle them to reach Jackson in time
for the opening session.
The program for the convention is
now being prepared by the executive
committee and will be announced within
a few days. Prof. M. Rose, of Yazoo
City, president of the association, will
submit his annual report showing the
educational growth of the State during
the past year, and it will not be surprls-
ing if he has some salty things to say
concerning the failure of the legislature
to establish State normal and training
school for teachers. A majority Of the
members of both houses gave written
pledges to support this measure, but it
was defeated by the manipulation work
of the committee on education.

Timely and Intelligent Suggestion as to Public
Fire Alarm System for Bay St. Lsais.

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
The attention of our citizen has been
called to the fact that our community is
without an adequate s.fire alarm" sig
nal, and this fact has been democstrat-
ed time and again. No later than Wed
nesday, April 1st, fire was discovered
and word sent to Mr.. A. L. Stokoe to
sound the fire alarm, by blowing the
whistle of his factory, that being the
recognized alarm since the destruction
by fire of the church with its large bell.
| The whistle sounded the alarm stating
there was fire. But where?
Those citizens hearing the alarm were
puzzled as to the location of the fire,
and the consequence was that very few
| reached the point in danger in reasonable
time. This is only one of the many
past instances.
After careful consideration of this
matter, have suggestion to offer, as
follows: "Let the city purchase a large
whistle of great carrying power, such
that its sound can be heard plainly with
in radius of three miles; the tone of
which whistle to be different from that
of any other whistle now in use in our
city. Have this whistle installed at
some central point, say for instance, at
the Ice and Light Plant, with the per-
mission of Mr.. Stokoe, that being the
best suited place for the installation of
same. Now, let the city also purchase
a gong OF large size, installing it at the
same place with the whistle. By proper
arrangement with the telephone COM
pany by paying the regular rental of a
telephone, this gong can be connected
on the telephone with direct connection
with the telephone exchange. To COM
plete this plan, let the council divide the
city in districts, stating the streets which
bound each district, and then give a
number to each district. Also make a
list of these districts numbered and have
the same advertised to the public.
The explanation IS to the working of
this plan is as follows: IN case of fire
at some point any distance from the
alarm station by aid of the telephone
direct connection can be had and the
alarm given in to the station, telling
party in charge of alalm station the To-
cation of the fire. This call will come
in over the special telephone with the
large gong attached, and no matter what
might be the occupation of those at the
alarm station at the time call is given in,
the sound of this large gong will be
such as to attract their immediate at
tention. Immediately upon hearing the
sound of this special gong, the whistle
is blown, stating to the whole town that
there is fire. Then the party present
at the alarm station answers the phone
and receives the information as to where
the fire is located. He returns to the
whistle and then sounds the correspond
ing number of the district in danger, on
the whistle, thus notifying the whole

Intelligent or legitimate criticism is
to be encouraged. The habitual critic
is one no less than the chronic fault
finder who is repugnant to common
propriety. The fellow who is prone to
numerically criticise a book, an essay
or a musical composition, is generally
the same one who could not produce a
fraction thereof as we'll, even if he tried
hard, and is on par with the individual
we are all acquainted with in every town
who idles his time away watching the
construction of building by skilled
workmen and artisans contrary to his
approval.

Value Of the Newspaper Over the Hsadbill.

A newspaper has 5000 readers for
each 1000 subscribers. A merchant
who puts out 1000 handbills gets pos
sibly 800 or 400 people to read-that is,
if the boy who is trusted to distribute
them does not chuck them under the
sidewalk. The handbill costs as much
as half column advertisement in the
home paper. All the women and girls
and half the men and boys read the ad-
vertisements. Result: The merchant
who uses the newspaper has $500 more
readers to each 1000 of papers readers.
There is no estimating the amount of
business that advertising does bring to
a merchant, but each dollar brings
somewhere from $40 to 500 worth OF
business.-Albon, (Mich.) Recorder.
