A RICH REPUBLIC.
Of American Capital In the
Last Four Years.

1t is to be noted that the interest ac-
count of Europe against the United
States is steadily diminishing. because
Americans have been using their sur
plus wealth during recent years to buy
back their own securities. The
process by which this comes about is.
Of course. indirect, and not perceived
by the average man. says the Review
of Reviews 1t represents, none the
less, one of the strongest currents in
the financial and business world for
four years past. The great railroad
corporations in particular are observ-
ing the fact that. whereas their pay
ments of interest on bonds and of
dividends on shares of stool. few
years ago went IN large proportion to
foreign holders. they now go in the
main to people living in the United
States. The absorption of our best
American railway and other standard
securities by American investors has
been quite widely distributed. but
it has been particularly noticeable in
the case of great financial and fdu-
ciary institutio's like the principal in
surance companies. Furthermore,
the very process and policy of railway
amalga has Of itself created a
large and determined demand for rail
way securities in this country and on
the part of interests seeking to con-
troll specified properties for the sake
of bringing abou; their ABSORPTION.

about equal to the total o. the bal

20 years. Nothing could better illus
trate the almost revolutionary nature
OF the change in Americas financial
and economic relations to Europe.

COLD WEATHER INCIDENT.


A man who got into an end car Of an
elevated train on one Of the coolest
days Of the recent cold spell and set
tied himself down comfortably at an
end seat became suddenly aware that
there was a cold draught coming in
around his feet from somewhere, and
looking down he saw that one of the
two pairs of brass plates that held the
rollers of the door had come off and left
an opening for the wind to blow
through; and it was surprising how
much cold wind could get through that
hole.
The guard said that it had come OF
on the down trip (the train was at this
time going up) and that it would be put
back in place as soon as the car got
to the upper end Of the road again,
where repairs were made. Meanwhile
the guard had helped matters some by
putting into the opening loose wad
made of piece of brown paper.
When the guard had walked back to
the front of the car. the passenger who
had felt the draught and had had this
little conversation With him. saw right
opposite under the seat on the other
side, whole newspaper. Picking that
up from the floor under the seat he laid
it down on the floor in front of the
hole in the floor, folding the paper
lengthwise in a right angle, so that one
part rested on the floor while the other
rose against the door over the hole.
This was great improvement on the
wad, and ii kept out a considerab BILE part
of the cold, and the passenger settled
himself back in his seat congrs.tulating
himself on this happy result.
About three minutes later another
man hustled into the car and walked
back and sat down on the end seat On
the other side. He wanted occupation
en- route, and casting his eye down,
he saw that smooth paper on the floor
and instantly bent down and picked it
up. The passenger opposite. who had
put it there, and had begun reading
his paper. dropped his paper on his
knees and leaned forward involuntar-
lily as he saw the other man do this.
This your paper?' said the other
man, as he saw the passenger opposite
leaning forward and looking at him.
NO." said the man. settling back
again and resuming his paper. He felt
that cold blast coming in and settling
around his feet again. but he said moth.
ing. The hole was on the other mans
side, and he thought that the other man
would feel it in minute and look down
and realize what the paper had been
on the floor for and putt back. But the
other man did nothing of the kind
He seemed impervious 10 cold, and be
never even looked down. He kept RICH,
on reading the paper with perfect i'm
perturbability.
The first man next thought that the
other man wasn't going very far, and
he decided that he would soon have a
chance TO replace the paper. His in.
tuition as to the other mans travelling
only a short distance proved correct;
but he didn't throw the paper down
when he got up; on the contrary, he
folded it smoothly and put it in his
pocket. That was sonnet hing the frs,
man hadn't thought of. and he sat there
and shivered and smiled over ii all the
way, till he came to his own station

HARDWOOD SAWDUSrS.


The fine sawdust of hard woods, that
which is produced in saving veneers,
is used for a variety of purposes; fine
mahogany sawdust, for instance. be-
ing extensively used in cleaning furs.
There are sold Is or 20 differen; vari
cites of fine sawdust from as many diff
ferent kinds of hard woods. these being
gathered from the various mills.
While fine mahogany is the sawdust
most largely used in cleaning furs,
various other kinds are also employed
for that purpose. The use of lockwood
sawdust for cleaning jewelry is ira
ditional. Boxwood sawdust is also used
in polishing silver. Some sawdusts are
used in marquetry work Some are used
in making pressed holdings and or
naments. Sandal-wood sawdust is used
in scent bags.
The production of coarse sawdust of
various hard woods. such as oak and
maple. is greater than the demand for
them; such sawdusts may be burned in
the mills where they are produced.
Coarse mahogany sawdust may be sold
for commonplace uses, or employed as
fuel where il is made; but for the fine
sawdusts of all the hard woods there is
more or less demand; for many of them
there is a ready market. The most
costly of fine hardwood sawdust is
lockwood. Of which the supply is less
than the demand.
Fine hardwood sawdusts are shipped
from this city to various partS of the
United States; they are exported in
considerable quantities to Canada and
some are sent to England.-N. Y. Sun.

past master at the art of using scientific instruments, he could not possibly fake observations that would stand a scientific test.
 "Dr. Cook has not sufficient technical knowledge, I think, to fake a series of observations that would pass muster. When Dr. Nansen returned from the Polar regions, his figures. when sub mitted to experts, proved to be cor rect, and when they were carefully figured out. it was found that Dr. Nan sen had gotten one-sixtieth of one de- gree closer to the Pole than he. him self. had thought. When Captain Cagnps figures were examined, he was given a mile more than he had figured himself.
 '"A scientist can sit back in his easy chair and riddle faked figures If Cooks figures prove to be what he thinks they are, they cannot be proven fakes. His observations will speak for themselves. They cannot be fakes. q think Peary's story substantiates Cooks. If Peary had found a noun tain or land, or life at the North Pole, Cook might have been discredited. But he didn't. He found just what Cook found People doubted Cooks fast progress across the ice. This is con- frmed by Peary's even faster time.

WILL WELCOME
 HUSBAND ALONE

Sydney. N. s., Sept Hike pr. Cook, Commander Peary has had enough of the Far North. He will never retrace his painful steps that have just won him a niche in the ever- lasting Hall of Fame. Mrs. Peary, wife of the intrepid explorer. gave out this information herself to the United Press representative.
 It is almost a debatable question as to whether the wife is more overjoyed by the discovery of the Pole or by the knowledge that she is now to have for herself the husband whom the scien- tific world has claimed for score of the 23 years they have been married.
 It is here in her apartment that she will greet Peary. having refused all invitations to go down the bay to meet the incoming Roosevelt.
 'I prefer to tell my husband how proud of him I am when we are alone" said Mrs. Peary to-day. "rath- CT than have to shout it to him from the deck of a boat"
 It was learned to-day that United States Consul Kehl has communicated with Washington with view to hav- ing a United States warship of some kind sent up from Boston to partici- pate in the welcome to the Roosevelt The French warship Iseley Captain Durand in command, put in here to- day to participate in the reception to the returning Polar expedition.

The smooth operation of the New York & Bridgeport Transportation Co.,, was interrupted this morning when Capt. Mitchell Yarter, of the steam freighter Claude J. Johnson, demand ed $133 as a condition of delivering the miscellaneous cargo which he brought to this city as the employe of the company. In consequence shippers find themselves considerably embarrassed by failure to receive goods which they desire delivered inn mediateIy. Capt. Yarter declares that he will not permit the cargo to be un- loaded until he gets his money.

HORSE SHOW FEATURE

Preparations have been tcompleted
 for the 9th annual agricultural fair
 including the horse and bench show of
 the Greenfield Country Club of Green

 foremost residents of this and sur
 rounding towns. The horse show feat
 ure of the fair always one of the best this year promises to eclipse past per- formances for already the entries in-
 clude much of the blooded stock noted for it's winning qualities at the big horse shows in the principal cities of the country.
 though on each day there will be
 something doing in that line. The fair will open promptly at 1:30 Tues day with exhibition and judging of all classes of cattle. Should the wealth CT prove stormy the fair will continue in consecutive order one day later. En- tries will be received for all depart nlents of the fair up to Tuesday fore
 noon. The show is to be given on the handsome grounds of the Country Club of Greenfield Hill.
 The dog show gives promise of be- ing unusually interesting, and entries are coming in from widely distant sec tions. The fox hounds of the Green field Hunt will be on hand. Some of the gentlemen who belong to this hunt are Theodore Sturges, sc. Brad ley, and William Wilson. The hunts
 man, David P. Wilson, will have charge of the hounds. From the
 Green Acre Kennels there will be a fine exhibit of Chinese chow chow dogs, which look so much like the Eskimo uogs which helped Dr. Cook to find the North Pole.

The appointment of Prof. Bailey who is an expert in statistics will hardly be pleasing to the two senators.

JUDGE HOUGH'S
 ORDER IN FAVOR
 OF F. A. HEINZE:
(Snecial from Unified Press.l

New York, Sept. 11.-Federa1 Judge Hough to-day handed down an order sustaining the demurrer interposed on behalf of F. A. Heinze, charging him with conspiracy. This does away with the charge of conspiracy made against Heinze for the mutilation and the dis appearance of the books of the United Copper Company.
 Judge Hough also dismissed 15 of the 16 counts found by the Federal Grand Jury against Heinze for mis- application of the funds of the Mer- cantile National Bank. The only count standing against him charges him with misapplication of funds and will probably be tried"at the October term of court.
