MUCH MACHINERY is AGAIN
IN OPERATION AT FACTORIES

BY Associated Pre3s.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say;
Business quieted down at the conclusion Of
the holiday sales as is customary, and time
was devoted to stock taking, while manufac-
turing plants were overhauled and repaired.
Much idle machinery resumed on January 2,
and more mills will reopen next week, but in
many leading Industries there will continue
to be a reduction in output until the outlook
is more definite. The curtailment is general
In the iron and steel industry and at New
England cotton mills. Clothing manufacturers
have received numerous cancellations and in
some lines buyers have asked delay in ship
ments of spring goods until the situation is
more fully developed. There is a better feel
ing as to mercantile collections since the
closing days Of December brought no special
pressure in the money market.
Many iron furnaces and steel mills have
resumed and others are to open next week. but
the curtailment of production has been so
general that not over 80 per cent of the ca
pacity will then be in operation.
Hides are generally weaker except that light
receipts of heavy sole leather hides sustain
that variety.

Ended STAGE Career

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-1he marriage OF
the earl of Yarmouth in Pittsburg to
Alice Corne,ia Thaw followed a rather
brief courtship, and ended the earls ca
reer. which had begun in private theat-
ricals at Newport and had later been
more or less successful in a professional
way. Lady Yarmouth has always been
the favorite with her brother, Harry X.
Thaw, whose second trial for the killing
of Stanford White will begin Monday.
She returned from England and was
present during the entire first trial of
her brother.
1t has been given out that Lady Var
mouth would not be present at the sec
ond trial out of Difference to the wishes
of her husband and his family, the earl
having strongly opposed the notoriety of
the first trial. The former Miss Thaw
has always been very popular, and dur
ing the trial of her brother she attracted
a great deal of sympathy, When she re-
turned to England it was generally re-
ported that her health had been wrecked
Later it was said she had gone to Italy
with her husband to seek rest and restor-
alton of her shattered nerves.
AT the wedding of the Yarmouths 1t
was planned that the brides eldest broth
er, Harry should give her away, but he
was absent The ceremony was delayed
several hours to await his coming, but he
did not appear. Josiah Thaw, another
brother, acted in his place.

1t was said the delay in the ceremony
was due to further negotiations with re-
gard to the marriage settlement from the
Thaw family. The earl is declared to have
insisted on an Increase and the papers had
to be drawn up before the marriage could
proceed. Within the first year Of her
married life Lady Yarmouth was COM
PEELED to deny rumors OF a disagreement
while abroad. She endeavored to live as
quietly as possible and entertained only
on a small scale.

Secretary md M.. Neuberry.

Secretary of the Navy Metcalf has
been forced by i'll health to resign a
portfolio which he has filed with dig
nifty and honor. Secretary Metcalf has
been sick man for long time, but
hoped to be able to fill out his term
with President Roosevelt. Concern for
his health, however. forbade, and his
resignation was rendered and accepted
by the President with many expressions
of regret. The President has designat-
ed Assistant Secretary of the Navy New
berry to fill out the unexpired term.
Secretary Newberry is a business man,
and understands his duties from the
ground floor to the mansard roof. There
are no useless frills about him. The
change will take place the first of De-
cember.
Chiefly is Washington interested in
his beautiful wife. The Newberrys are
rich, very rich. and they have enter
tanned handsomely ever since they came
to Washington Their home has been
one of the homelike. hospitable Cabinet
houses. Mrs. Newberry is the hand
soonest woman in Washington. She is
not very tall. of fine physique, with a
dark sparkling beauty that attracts at
| once. She has fine dark eyes that
| twinkle with laughter. dimples that play
hide-and-go-seek in cheek and chin
and her once black hair is beautifully

| ton, anu has been mentioned for Presi-
| dent General to be elected at the mex

held in April. She would undoubtedly
f, make a fine officer. but it is not at al
| likely that she will wish to take the
added burdens upon her shoulders. Al
Cabinet woman she will be success
which goes without saying. Mrs. New
berry Is democratic, approachable, kind
hearted, and altogether Secretary New

More Engineer. wanted.

In his first annual report Gen. w. l..
Marshall, Chief of Engineers, United
States Army, makes a strong appeal Tor
an increase in the Corps of Engineers.
The present authorized commissioned
strength of the Engineer Corps consists
of 189 officers. He recommends an IN
crease of 1872 officers. 60 to be employed
on military and civil work of construc-
ton, 81 to be employed in three addi-
tional battalions and Is for regimental
organization.
Gen Marshall comments at consider
able length upon the increasing duties
of the Corps of Engineers. At present
he says only A officers, or about one
fourth of the corps, are left under full
control of the Department to attend to
the important construction works, forti-
ications, river and harbor and other
duties devolving by law upon the Corps
l.of Engineers. He says that while the
number of officers is decreasing the
reverse is true of the work. River and
| harbor improvements are now going on
he says, under appropriations of size
| previously unknown, fortification con-
struction has been extended to islanc
possessions, and a large share of the
Panama Canal work has been intrustee
| to officers of the corps.

the directors of the Outlook. He does
not do much at it. Outlook states-in
fact, never did attend board meet
ing-so it cannot be considered that he
is very active, tho it is Standard Oil
money that keeps him there and that
put him there. The Outlook further
expresses its thanks to Mr.. Stillman.
whose money, outlook says, made II
possible for it to exist, tho his connec-
ton with the Outlook has never been
known until now, when somebody
found 1t out and ''peached," so to
speak. outlook says:
''If the act of unprincipled rurlor
vendors has given either Mr.. Stiliman
or the President any annoyance, the
Outlook sincerely regrets the fact.
THAT it enables the Outlook to ex-
press n sense of Indebtedness to two
men-Lawson Valentine and James
Stillman-who made the creation OF
the Outlook possible, but who have
never been known to the public In con-
nection with it, is a matter of genuine
satisfaction"
"Rumor venders'' does not seem to
be well chosen. as the "rumor'' seems
to be cold fact.
President Roosevelt has nothing to
do with the Standard Oil money, how
ever. He Is just going to be contrib
uting editor, and will have nothing to
do with the financial end except to draw
his salary, and, of course, Mr.. Still
mans contribution of Standard OH
money will not go so very far toward
paying that.
