LAND DEALS MAKE PARsON RICH
Rev. Richard A. Morley Does Some
Shrewd Speculating.

A formal real estate transfer mace
In the routine of the County Record
er's office in Chicago the other day re-
yealed the story of a minister Of the
gospel, who has gained 4 fortune '
S5OO,OOO during his spare time from
preaching. Four years ago he left Chr
caeo with slender means to nurse a
daughter back to health. To-day he is
the owner Of landed estates and an eX-
elusive metropolitan apartment build
ing. The hero of this fairy tale OF
finance and religion is the Rev. Rich
ard A. Morley, a Methodist Episcopal
nastor. who was stationed for several
years in Chicago and Oak Park
churches. The story came out in the
purchase by the minister of the Ken
wood, the apartment hotel at Kenwood
avenue and 47th street, for 100000.
Rev. Mr.. Morley who is As years
old, was pastor of various churches in
Chicago until. III 919O4. the health OF
his daughter began to fail and he ex-
changed pastorates with the Rev. a. c.
Geyer. of Las Vegas. n. NJ. whittier he

NEW YORK.

Trade conditions are without much
change, and irregularity is still the
leading feature in business n indus
trial lines. Results Of spring business
are as a whole disappointing. There
is, however, more doing in wholesale
lines for next fall and winter, and the
tone il this branch is fairly optimistic.
There is considerably more activity
in the pig iron markets, and the vol
ume of business doing in iron and steel
is heavier. A large part of this, how
ever, appears to be ut the expense OF
prices, because structural material Is
apparently at the bottom, wire prices
have beer cut, and a number of other
lines show the effect of the desire OF
manufacturers to get business.
Manufacturers are certainly buying
more freely, though they report little
increase in orders. Eastern shoe ship
ments are "a per cent larger than a
year ago, but still behind 1907.

States for the week ending April %

Forces at Full Strength for First
Time Since Spanish War.
Fol the first time since the Spanish
American war. the United States army
is recruited up to its full strength.
This fact was made public by the post
ing of an order signed by the adju-
tant general Of the army, in which all
recruiting is ordered discontinued, tenn
porarily, save only in cases of lime
expired men. to whom the privilege Of
re-enlistment is given. The bringing Of
the armed force Of the ration to its full
complement Of 1000 men. according
to one officer. was brought about in a
great measure through the publication
last September Of an article by Col.
HeiStand, treating on the army as a
career" That the vacancies then eX-
listing have been filled with care and
discrimination is attested by the rec
OrdS of the various recruiting offices,
which show that. in the period between
January /, 1908, and February 90,
1909, no fewer han 1G,9S4 applicants
for enlistment were rejected. From
now on there is to be a systematic
wedding out of undesirables to make
for promising youths Of good
character.

CHICAGO.

Trade is stimulated by the more sea-
sonable weather, and there is notable
reduction of idle hands in the spread
of Industrial and farming activities.
The volume of payments through the
banks is seen to be well above that
Of a year ago, and money has 4 tirmer
tone, but rates for choice commercial
paper are unchanged. Preparations for
the May settlements indicate a release
of interest and dividends exceeding
former totals.
Confidence in the business outlook 3
reflected in a larger investment In
bonds, stocks and improvements. Agrt-
cultural advices show more agreement
as to extending acreage, there being
much breaking of soil for the first time
in the Northwest, where new settle
ments multiply rapidly,
Implement factories have increased
OUTPUTS and there is wider absorption
of wagons and hardware. Lumber re-
ceiDts exhibit considerable gain, ana
the mills remain we'll employed. but
shipments Of various woods to Western
points steadily grow, and building
needs draw heavily upon planning mill
outputs and quarry products. Numer
GUS contracts have been negotiated for
structural steel, pipe, merchant iron
and forge work. Car builders "btlined
further orders for future deliveries and
a fair tonnage is booked for rails Il
pig iron. Steel mills ut South Chicago
run closer to capacity. and the I'M
proved conditions afforded work to sew
eral hundreds of additional hands.
Leather working trades find inquiries
encouraging in betting, novelties II
trunks. Shoe factories accumulate for
ward ORDERS, while there is more stead
mess in the markets for the raw mate
rial. Other factory supplies come for
ward amply for current requirements,
but prices hold steady and, in some
respects, have a firmer tendency. .

if called upon to 90 into battle to-mor-

s~uperstructure of the present ships Is
to be taken off. Instead of the lighting
masts n the upper decks that have
been found Of no use n in the way,
there will be only one wire waste
basket mast for the purpose of signal

1t was found In the Sn0OtlnS tests
at the "Florida' last year that it is
practically impossible to shoot away
that sort of mast. There are more
holes thar strands and even if a num-
Der of the wire cable strands are cut by
shot, they are so interviewer that the
stability of the mast is not affected.
The turrets for the big guns, fore and
aft, and the funnel and boilers. OF
course, will remain. h removal OF
the s~uperstructure and masts will not
only offer less of a target to the enemy
and make it possible for those aboard
the ships to fight with greater certain

that the ships will be raised a foot IN
The water. This would change the cen

that the ship might turn turtle IN
heavy weather were it not that the
weight is to be taken off the top.
The innovation will not only raise
the armor belt, the present position OF
