Baltimore American.
Thirty-six thousand miles around the
world is the marvellous record Of the Ala
bama. that has arrived at New York, the
first of the American fleet TO complete
the girdllng that the American armada
set out upon six months ago. The Ala
bama is cripple, having a cracked cyl
inder and having been sent home Tor fear
she would delay the fleet in its progress
But the Alabama Is otherwise as trim and
slick as though it had but taken a cruise
down the coast and up the Chesapeake to
test the depth Of the Baltimore channel
The Maine, that accompanied the Ala
hama. also misses the festivities that are
being rendered the fleet upon It's home
ward cruise; hut probably tile iackies
aboard these ships are better pleased to
be home again than they would be TO en-
ter into the convivality of the numerous
receptions.
Tho first swallow shows the coming OF
summer. The first arrival OF the battle
ships shows how near arc the great float
ing fortresses that Uncle sam is having
a great trip the Alabama made. and there
will always be bit Of distinction attach
ing to the vessel as the first arrival, even
though under conditions OF partial dis
ability.

of the steel passenger car industry, as Mr..
Schwab explained, but the indications are
that the plans for the manufacture Of these cars
on an extensive scale will be pushed rapidly for
ward both here and elsewhere
In the use OF steel cars the Pennsylvania Com
pany, with its usual progressive spirit, leads all
the railroad companies of the country by en-
ployng 2oS cars. The New York Central has
IoI.
AS the Engineering News says of the use of
steel cars: "One of the most definite and impor-
tant steps yet taken in this direction is that Of the
Pennsylvania railroad This road has made long
and careful expert investigation of the matter,
and about year ago it announced its intention
of introducing not only ordinary passenger cars
but also dining, parlor, sleeping mail and bag
gage cars of steel construction, so as to provide
the equipment for entire main line trains. 1t has
also definitely adopted steel cars for its electri-
cally operated suburban service at New York, the
trains to be run through the Hudson river tun-
nels
THE designs for these cars were prepared by
the railway companys engineers. Some of the
cars are i'm service and others are being built
Other railways have been working in the same
direction, and steel passenger car construction
has been taken up vigorously by some OF the
large car-building firms. The total number rep
resented is 22S of which about rs per cent are
in suburban or rapid transit service.

TIE
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy OF known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the manufactured by the Cali
tornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price ffty cents

Russia, in many respects, is not supposed to be
progressive, and yet according to the informa-
ton received by our government, the Cars en-
pire is the first nation in the world to adopt plans
for the scientific and sociological study of crime
and criminals. A fund of nearly SI.ooo,ooo for
this purpose has been contributed. Some Of the
money came from the government and the rest
of it was subscribed through private sources The
plans for study are those recommended BY Or.

laughed out OF court The only suggestion of a
State tax on real estate has come from Demo

1T WAS YEARS AGO.
Foraker Says That He Was Attorney
for Standard Oil.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-That he had
been several years ago an attorney for
the Standard Oil COMPANY. but that
such employment had nothing to do
with matters pending in congress or
in which the federal government was
interested, is the substance of a brief
statement made today by Senator For
aker in answer to charges made by
William r. Hearst in Columbus last
night.
Senator Foraker was accused of re-
ceiving one check for SIS, 200 and an
other of $14,500 from John D. Arch
bold of the Standard Oil company by
William r. Hearst. Mr.. Hearst made
the charges in a speech delivered in
the interests of the independence
league ticket. He read several letters
which, he asserted. were written to
Senator Foraker by Mr. ArchboId.
Mr. Hearst said:
1--WE assert that the Republican par
ty has been for long time the bene-
hciary of trust corruption and that
the Democratic party has only waited
an opportunity to share its sisters
profitable infamy. We assert that the
Democrats are today eagerly Compel
ing with the Republicans for trust
faVorS. We assert that when Theo-
dore Roosevelt whipped the Standard
Oil out of the Republican party the
Democratic party welcomed that con-
victed criminal with open arms and
that the Democratic party killed for
Mr.. Rockefeller the fatted calf and
that there is more rejoicing over this
one sinner. who has joined the Demo-
cratic cause, than there is over the
hundreds of thousands of honest.

PULP WOOD IN PLENTY.
Witnesses Testify That the Supply Will
Last for Many Years.

Appleton. Sept. 1s.-The congression-
al committee appointed to investigate
conditions in the paper mill and pulp
industry with a view to ascertaining
whether or not the tariff on wood pulp
should be removed devoted the day
toward obtaining an approximation of
the available pulp wood in the middle
west. Every witness placed on the
stand testified that there is no danger
of scarcity of wood for many years
to come. Perhaps the most important
witness of the day was W. S. Taylor,
president Pulp Wood Supply company
of Appleton, which furnishes pulp wood
for II of the paper mills in the Fox
river valley. Neither the present nor
coming generation need have any wor-
ry about the supply of pulp wood in
the middle west, for there are millions
upon millions feet available" said Mr..
Taylor. He added:
THE lumber market governs the
pulp wood price entirely. When there
is a great demand for lumber we are
unable to obtain the large pulp wood
logs for paper mills, but must take the
small stuff that is too small for saw
mills to handle. For the past year
while the lumber market has been dull
the price of pulp wood has been rea-
sonably low"

CAN EAT SEA WEED.
SargassO Can Supply the World, With
Food If Necessary.

Waukesha, Wis, Sept. 1s.-That the
process of dehydration may solve the
food problem of the world when the
population shall have exceeded the
food productivity of the earth, by
turning the seaweed of the great Sar-
gasso sea into a valuable food product,
was the theory advanced by Judge M.
S. Griswold at a "dehydro" banquet.
The banquet, which was the first Of
the kind ever served in the world, was
prepared by Miss c. A. Lyford, a do
mestic science expert of the State
Normal university at Bloomington, Ill.
Addresses were made by Louis
Muench, President A. J. Frame of the
Waukesha National bank, DR.. Hugo
Pheller, Prof. F. B. Hutchins of Car
roll college and others.
