Expenses Of the Philadelphia
Marching Club Over ST.
900 and Got No Seats

3 = =
According to G. M. Treat, secre-
tay of the convention bursa Of the
Chicago Association Of Commerce,
the visitors numbered $4,000, but
John G. Roth, president Of the He
tel Keepers association, says they
did not number more than 10000,
it being a fact worthy Of note that
the railroads issued no passes to this
convention and did not reduce rates
much, their failure to do so being
to some extent made up by the p
cent-a-mile rates that prevail 10 tho
Chicago territory. The real conven-
ton was held, as some one has re-
marked, in the big lake front ho-
tells which were overcroWded with
guests, visitors and high tension
confabs. The marching clubs, which
spent large sums to attend the con-
vention, were lavish spenders and
feeling runs high because there was
a failure to furnish the members
with seats at the Coliseum. The
Philadelphia Marching club, FOR in
stance. paid out $4,000 for their
expenses and this was about a fair
average for the others. Everyone
benefited by the convention: the
butcher. baker and candlestick max
er, the dealers in the necessary COM
modities, more than the rest, and the
hotel men, provision men and rest
aurant keepers most.

FALL OUT.
Hoped For Sensations in
Penna Libel Suits Don't
Come Out

Philadelphia, Pa, June 23.-No
sensations were sprung. nor political
secrets divulged at the hearings here
today in the controversy involving
State Senator Jas. P. McNichol, d.
Clarence Gibboney, secretary of the
Law and Order society, and Max
Kaufman, former secretary to May
or Reyburn.
The imbroglio grew out Of a polit-
ical speech made by Senator McNich-
oil in which it was alleged that he
gave Kaufman, Gibboney's agent,
$4,000 to expose the administra-
ton of Mayor Weaver in 1905 by
raiding a. gambling house. The ex-
posture was never made.
There we're denials and counter
charges, all of which resulted in
Kaufman having McNichol arrest
ed for criminal libel. The senator
in turn caused the arrest of Kauf-
man for perjury and Gibboney for
criminal libel. The hearings here
tofore held and those held today
brought out much that was inter
esting to the followers of local poll
tics. One interesting piece of evil
dence by McNichol was that u. S.
Senator Penrose contributed half of
the $4,000 which McNichol says
went to Kaufman in payment for
the EXPOSE" which proposition NC
'Nichol alleges Kaufman never car
ried out.

CHRISTMAS ON THE GARRISON.


When Christmas comes to army posts
We have such fun, just hosts and hosts.
We get up early when we hear
First call astounding loud and clear:
And dress so quickly, cause you see
The band comes round at reveille.
And while we're getting on our clothes.
Daddy goes downstairs, cause he knows
That pretty soons race TO see
Him light the candles on that tree;
Then we come down and mother dear,
She smiles, says, ''Sanata has been here!'
We know he has, but it's a draw
That Santa is your ma and pa.
Oh, it's such fun to get your thingsi
For Sis there's dolls and chains and rings
Some soldier toys for Brother Ad;
For me the things I'd wished had.
And then all day we play-and fight,
I'm 'fraid, a little-'fore it's night.
And by the time that tattoo blows
Your head it just so sleepy grows,
You topple over then, almost:
And Christmas ends, upon that post,

Popular Demand for Parcels Post.

The raising of express rates in some
instances as high as 80 per cent. on the
Pacific coast is bringing the population
of that part of the country into line for
parcels post Edward Berwick, presi-
dent of the Postal Progress League of
California, writes as follows:
But a few months ago there was chron-
icled 200 per cent. stock dividend in one
express company and n $30,000,000 surplus
in another. The people might well, with
some reason, have anticipated that just a
little consideration would have been shown
them by way of rates lowered. Obviously
they will be considered only as they com
pei consideration. But how? Simply by
taking the same steps that other civilized
communities have taken and helping them
selves by instituting an up-to-date parcels
post.
Mr.. Berwick remarks that all talk
of parcels pest being impossible in Amer
lea because of our great distances is rem
dered ridiculous in face of the example
of the British-Indian postal service, by
which parcels are carried, frequently
over difficult routes. distances of 10000
miles. between Great Britain and Indo-
China. at the rate of "a cents for three
pounds, 4S cents for seven pounds, and
u cents for eleven pounds, while the
British Post Office annually declares a
profit on its entire business of 10000
600.
There is strong popular backing for
the recommendation which Postmaster
General Meyer makes to Congress in
favor of the experimental establishment
of parcels post in the United States, and
strong conviction that, once under
taken, it will demonstrate its utility and
popularity and grow as rapidly as did
rural free delivery, of which it would
be in some sense logical development.

Alcohol from Waste.

Why is it that the hopes of establish

featuring cheap alcohol from the waste
of the farm, 10 be used for lighting, heat
ing and power. as well as in the arts, are
not running so high now as they We're
n few months ago!
The economy is in full blast in France.
The French production of alcohol in
1907 amounted to 2,514.S10 hectoliters,
or CG441.375T gallons, valued at $50 a
hectohter. Three and quarter million
gallons of this output were made from
crane skins and lees. Very nearly half
the French alcohol-more than 3O,OOo,-
600 gallons-is distilled from beets.
close upon 100000 gallons are made
from grain, and an equal quantity from

The Department of Agriculture is ar

rection of the chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry for the purpose Of conducting
practical experiments with the waste
products of the farm. Farmers and pro
fessors and students of agriculture are
invited TO witness the operation of the
Bureau of Chemistry still. Undoubted-
ly it will pay them to do so. for they will
get valuable hints which they may turn
into money.
Not only agriculturists will gain. but
also the community in general, when the
rubbish of the farm is converted into
denatLred alcohol. 1t will he cheap, and
will make practically available a mul-

TANCE OF NATURAL RESOURCE
CONSERVATION.
FORESTS WELL PRESERVED.
Nipponese Began the Practice of For
estry 1900 Years Ago-Result
Is Gratifying.
HARVEST HAS BEEN ABUNDANT.

Just at the time when this country is
beginning to struggle with the problem
of outstanding its forest resources, of
protecting its mountain slopes, and of
improving the waterways, it is interest
ing to know that he Japanese have sue
cessfully attacked the same problem, be-
fore the land suffered severely from the
evil effects following deforestation. The
far-sighted people of Nippon have fore
seen the results of the destruction of
their extensive mountain forests, and
have safeguarded themselves by placing
all of these under government control,
Old Practice in Japan.
The practice of forestry has been car
ried on in Japan for a longer time than
in any other country. For 1900 years
the people of Japan have been planting
and growing forests, with success that
has been a little short of marvellous.
Under careful management, the japanese
forests yield very high financial returns.
This high yield is only made possible by
the close utilization of every bit of the
tree so that scarcely twig is wasted,
and by the improvement of the growth
of their forests by carefully conducted
thinning and tending. The woods are
first thinned at the age of thirteen years,
and then every five years after that up
to the time of the final harvest, at 120
years.
Saved Much Timber.
1t was with the opening up of the hith-
ertO inaccessible mountain forests that
the japanese government became most in
teusely interested in forestry. The
mountains We're still government land, SO
all that was necessary to protect them
was to place proper restrictions on the
sale and cutting of timber. This was eff
fected by declaring the forests on the
steep slopes as reserved forests. in
which the only cutting should be done
under government direction. The for
ests on agricultural lands, not needed for
protection, are classed as available for
ests, and here the cutting is not so care
fully restricted.
Thus Japan has effectually prevented
the stripping of her mountain slopes be-
fore any great damage has been done.
In some districts. where the mountains
are near the towns, the steep slopes
have already been cleared. and this has
resulted in floods and the washing down
of the soil from the slopes on to the
farm lands. But these cases have been
exceptional, and have merely served as a
warning, which Japan has needed before
it was too late to prevent widespread
destruction.

it is to seek surgical aid. 1t is hard to
fancy Castro exerting himself in the in

taken from Venezuela a sum reported to
be $16,000,000. Whether this is the ex-

There is loud complaint in Chicago of
an undertakers' trust. p. ]. Hursen, On
embalmer, declares that Baskets which
should sell for $50 are often disposed of
for $3.50. At this rate it may become
as expensive to die in Chicago as it is
to live in Chicago, and the only relief for
people who dislike being gouged will be
to remove to some other city. But there
are few cities where funerals are not
more expensive than they ought to be.
Sometimes the liyerymen charge more
for carriages than is reasonable. The use
of street railway facilities for funerals IS
a growing custom, and will tend to re
duce needless expense.
