TWO ENGLISH FORTUNES.

The fortunes of the two multi millionaires. Charles Morrison and l Alfred Belt, amount to nearly E1g,- OOO.OOO says the London Daily Mail | Mir. Morrison's estate. which was val ! ued provisionally at e6,666.666 13s Id. has now been reswOrn at e1O,- 9S6.666 13s i'd MT Belts fortune, provisionalIy valued at { e3OOO 900, is now put at eS.O49,616.
 MT. Morrison's is probably the larg- est fortune of which anyone in this country has had absolute disposal. though the amount that passed on the death of the late Duke of West minister, including great estates of which he was tenant for life was probably more than G14.OO0.0OO.
 Mir. Morrison. who died in >ALay last year at his home, Basidon park. near Reading. at the age of 91, in herited e2.0OO.OOO from his father. the head of the Fore-street Ware house Drapery) company in 1857. and gradually increased his fortune by careful investment in the city By his will which was published shortly after his death. he made
 
 Walter Morrison. his brother; Miss Ellen Morrison. sister; Hugh Morri- son. nephew; Archibald Morrison. nephew.
 Since MT Morrison's death two other fortunes of the family have paid duty-those of Miss Ellen Nor rson. his sister. and Mrs. Frank Morrison, his sister-inlaw The lat ter left e47O.4OS. and Miss Ellen MorrisOn's estate-estimated at k3,- DOC. .OOO-was provisionally valued at e975.OOO
 Mir. Belts millions were accumulat- cd much more rapidly than Mir. Nor rison's. Born in Hamburg in 1853. he was a clerk in merchants office there until he was attracted to Kim berley in the days of the first dia- mond rush. He had ( 1000 capital with him and used it to such effect that he became one of the financial powers of South Africa. He was a member of the firm of Wernhcr. Belt & Co, and was one of the parties to the great De Beers amalgamatoin. He died in 1906 at the age of 53>
 Tn his will he left about e2.0OO.0O for public purposes. including e1.- 200.000 to endOw the Cape-to- Cairo railway scheme The residuary leg atee was his brother. Otto Belt. whose inheritance apparently exceeds ( 5000. .00O

A Burning Eruption Covered Her
From Head to Feet.

-Four years ago suffered severely
with terrible eczema. being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed During
that time suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After be-
ing given up by my doctor was adj
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. Al
ter the first bath with Cuticura Soap
and application of Cuticura Ointment
enjoyed the first good sleep during
my entire Illness. also used Cuti-
cura Resolyent and the treatment was
continued for about three weeks. At
the end of that time was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. I would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as know what they
did for me. Mrs Edward Nenning,

Government does not intend to lessen
IN the least degree its prosecution of
suits to dissolve combinations which
are to-day monopolizing the COM
merce of the country, and seeks only
to foster and encourage reasonable"
concentration of capital-necessar
to the economic development of man
ufacture, trade and commerce. He
also points out that the worst Of
tenders in monopoly must accept Fed
eral incorporation, face criminal
prosecution, or dissolve themselves
into their component parts in the diff
ferent States.
In industrial combinations called
trusts, the President says, the inter-
state and foreign business far exceeds
the business done in any one State
This fact, he says, will justify grant
ing of Federal charters to such COM
binations under such limitations as
Will secure compliance with the Anti
Trust law.
To this end he recommends a grant
ing of Federal law for the charters
to corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, protecting them from I'M
due interference by the State and re-
lying on National supervision to pre-
vent abuses which have arisen under
State control.
Such law would subject the real
and personal property only to the
same taxation as is imposed by the
States and would require complete
reports to be filed at regular inter-
walls. Holding companies will be for
hidden.
The President declares the Sher-
man Antitrust law does not need
amendment, and that the series of de-
cisions by the Supreme Court renders
a strong reason for leaving the act as
it is.
The public, the President says,
must disabuse itself of the idea that
any distinction between ''good trusts
and bad trusts" can be introduced
into the statute.
The President declares that mon
opolies must be restrained and pun
ished until ended.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Shows an Increase of $12,083,-
720, or 6.31 Per Cent.
DR.. GranfieId Pleads For Thirty Days
Annual Leave For Clerks and
Carriers in Principal Offices.

Washington, d. CAS- c business
institution, the Postofffce Department,
next to the United States Treasury,
is the greatest in the Government
According to figures submitted by
Charles P. Grandfield, First Assistant
Postmaster-G General, for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1909, in his an
nual report, the gross revenue of the
postal service reached the enormous
total of $203,562,383, an increase of
$12,083,720, or 6.31 per cent, over
the preceding year
There were 1902 Presidential post
Offices on July 1, 1909. OF this num-
Der 1913 were first class, an increase
of IA; 1907 were second class, an in
crease of LIZ, and 5097 were third
class, an increase of 23O. The total
increase in the number of Presi-
Dental offices was 356. There were
1444 postoffices established during
the year and 1904 were discontinued,
leaving total of 60,144 postoffices
in operation on June 80, 1909. Dur
ing the year 1926 postmasters were
appointed at Presidential offices. At
fourth class offices 9161 postmasters
were appointed
Concerning the routine of his bu-
reau DR.. Grandfield says:
The annual rate of expenditure
for the salaries of Presidential post
masters on July 1, 1909, was as fol-
lows: First class, $1,408,60O; sec
ond class, $4,012,4O0; third class,
$7,344,S00, making a total of $12,-
765S00.
At the close Of the fiscal year
there were 1878 assistant postIaasters
at first and second class offices, an in.
crease of 116. The number of clerks
at first and second class offices in
creased from 1920 to 1890, and
the carrier force at city delivery
offices from 26,352 to 27,62O, being
net increase of ITO clerks and
1868 carriers
The retention of fourth class post
masters during satisfactory service
has become the established practice
of the department, and the policy of
recommending the reappointment of
Presidential postmasters who have
proved efficient has been followed con-
sistently with highly beneficial re-
suits"
DR.. Grandfield makes a strong ar
gument in favor of thirty days an
uual leave for clerks and carriers in
first class and second class Offices.

exc out precarious existence laying
brick and driving hacks and running
trolley cars would be for the country
and proceed to get wealthy.
This, in its turn, would result in
greatly increasing the production of
all the necessities of life, which in
volume have fallen behind the stead
lily increasing percentage of popula-
ton. He had an imposing array of
figures to present to the House to
prove that while the population of the
United States had,been jumping ahead
by leaps and bounds for the last
twenty years the production of cattle,
hogs, sheep, grain, potatoes and other
meat and vegetables, staples had fall
en- behind.
Out on his farm in Ohio Mr.. Doug
las raises lots of things. One of the
ways he makes money so that he can
stay in Congress is by fattening thin
cattle and selling them to the Beef
Trust.
II get so much money for my fat
stock" he said, with tears in his eyes,
that am ashamed to take it."
Mr. Douglas added that any man
who had been running a decent farm
for the last five years and hadn't got
so wealthy that he had Brussels car
pet on the woodshed floor and pedi-
greed Great Dane sitting on the front
porch had only himself, to blame.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
told Mr.. Douglas just the other day,
he said. of an instance in New York
not six miles from Ithaca where land
had been sold recently for 50 an acre.
Representatives John Dwight and
Dryden and Representative Bennett,
of the Bronx, later confirmed these
| figures.
The Secretary also told Mr.. Doug
/, las of the case of New York farmer
who had poor. worn-out hill farm
on which he had raised the year be-
fore only twenty bushels of potatoes
to the acre At that none of them
were large enough for market. The
| farmer was induced by an agent of
the Department to try an experiment
with his land He was supplied with
Government seed potatoes, told how
to do the trick, and without the use
| of fertilizer he came across with 200
bushels to the acre, and since then
has raised nothing but potatoes

gument for greatly increased appro-

Washington, D. C.-Members of
Congress who insist that the salary
of $500 a year, which they receive
now, does not go as far as their old
salary of $4,000 did few years ago,
are much agitated over the rapidly
increasing prices of the necessities of
life This subject promises to be
talked about a great deal in the House
and Senate this year. It Is regarded
as practically certain that a Joint
commission will be appointed to in
yestigate.
A resolution by Mr.. Hull, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, provides for a
committee of seven Representatives
and five Senators to investigate If the
high prices are due to:
1. Trusts and combinations.
2. The increased volume of money.
3. Increase in city population.
4. Increase in demand and de-
crease in supply.
5. Increase Of the Governments
bonded debt, or
@. The tariff.
This resolution declares that the
prices of the necessities of life have
Increased from eleven to thirty per
| cent. in the last twelve months. 1t is
kasserted that the high prices of beef
have enabled the Armour Packing
Company to make net profit of more
than thirty-fve per cent. on its CAPT.
talization Mr.. Hull charges that the
price of sugar is two cents pound
higher in the United States than in
foreign countries and that this COM
modify is controlled by the Sugar
Trust
The most interesting development

toll was. a carefully prepared speech
by Mr.. Douglas, of Ohio. who succeed
ed that eminent statistician and prog
nosticator, Charles Henry Grosvenor.
Ever since Mr.. Douglas was attending
performance in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, and pair
, of opera glasses fell from the third
balcony and bounced off his head he
has been deeply interested in weighty
/ problems. He has given a great deal
of thought to this subject, and turned
loose the result in 700O-word
speech.
Mr.. Douglas has theory that he
thinks would settle this high price
proposition. He believes that if coun-
| try life could be made sufficiently at
! tractive to intelligent men and wom-
en-, farm houses fitted with open
plumbing, pianolas and mission wood

TAFT REMOVES PINcHoT.
Chief of Forestry Bureau Dismissed
For INSTRUMENTATION.

Washington, D. president Taft
dismissed Clifford Pinchot, Chief of
the Forestry Bureau, and the fight
between the Roosevelt radicals and
the conservative wing of the Repub-
lican party is on in earnest. The
Presidents action came after a Cab
met session that lasted practically all
day. When it broke up, just before
dinner time in the evening, there was
issued at the White House copy of
a letter sent by the President to Mr..
Pinchot. In this letter, after sum-
ming up the acts of the forester that
led him to take such action, Mr.. Taft
said:
BY your conduct you have de-
stroyed your usefulness as a helpful
subordinate of the Government, and
it therefore becomes my duty to di-
rect the Secretary of Agriculture to
remove you from your Office as For
ESTER
Secretary Wilson was swift in car
rying out the decision of the Presi-
dent. He addressed to Mr.. Pinchot,
to Overton w. Price, Associate For
roster, and Albert G. Shaw, assistant
law officer of the Forestery Bureau,
letters substantially indentical.

Grapes Growing in Places Reached
Only by Ropes and Ladders.

Grapes Growing In races de0cDeO
Only by Ropes and Ladders.
The steepest vineyards in all Eu-
rope if not in all the world are stu
ated on the northwest coast of Italy.
/ have seen grapevines growing in
many countries and in many queer
places, but nowhere have ever seen
vineyards located like those on the
seacoast between Levanto and Spex-
zia.
The vines in some places along the
Rhine grow on very steep hillsides,
but nothing to compare with those
growing on the lofty Italian cliffs.
You can now and then get a good
glimpse of these vineyards while rid
ing in the train from Genoa to Pisa,
which follows the coast almost all the
way. The trouble is that tunnels sue
coed each other in rapid succession,
thus continually breaking off the
view of the sea and of the rocky
coast.
After leaving Levanto, a small
town situated on d semi-circular bay,
and going through long tunnel, you
soon come to what are called the viii
lagos of the Cirque Terre. Each viii
Iage is separated from the other by
lofty cliffs The vines cover the face
of these bold cliffs. which are almost
perpendicular. AS such places can
be reached only by ladders or ropes
the difficulty of working the vineyard
and of gathering the crop of grapes
can easily be imagined.
Almost as striking are those places
where the vines are trained upon
wire across gorges made by the
streams which cut the rocky coast.
This whole region is probably unique
in its viticulture. Only men like the
Italian peasant farmers, who love
the vine and its luscious fruit, would
go to so much labor and trouble as
to plant vineyards on the face Of
sheer cliffs. America Wine Press.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Teachers Favor Reforms.

The New Jersey Teachers Associa.
ton in resolutions adopted at the clos
ing session disclaimed responsibility
for defects in the educational system
of the State, which Governor Fort de-
clared to be "overofficered and weak
with fads," and called upon the Leg
islature to make a complete and ex-
haustive report" of the findings of the
Senate committee which is now prob
ing the administration of the school
laws. While the 800 teachers re-
Trained from going into the matter
more emphatfcally in advance of the
report, the convention reaffirmed it's
conviction that the constantly grow
ing demand for trained teachers
makes mandatory the provision of adj
ditional facilities for professional
training, and freely conceded that
there is need Of greater efficiency in
the rural schools of the State The
report urges the adoption and actual
use of uniform courses of study adapt
ed to the needs of the country child,
and that county superintendent be
given greater powers by legislation
In further resolution which evoked
much enthusiasm the convention
recommended to the schools the new
patriotism that begins at home, that
emphasizes mans duty to the COM
munity in which he lives, that lays
upon every man, woman and child
the obligation to be clean in person
and home and to actively cooperate
in making the neighborhood clean and
beautiful; that urges upon all to work
for good schools, roads and streets,
for pure water and food, and the pro-
per enforcement of all rules, ordi-
nances and laws aiming to make the
community a good place for q home.
The association will ask the Legislat-
ure to remedy material discrepancy
between State laws which permit
children over fourteen years to work
in factories, while making attendance
upon school compulsory up to seven
teen years.
