Sense and sensiDility.

For some days the dining room had
been disturbed by the invasion of the
new boarder. She was fat, fifty, and
very sentimental, and her tender ma.
ture led her to whisper so many rap
turous condolences in her neighbours
ear that all the rest at the table felt
uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, that
one day after a harassed breakfast,
the neighbor determined to make a
struggle for liberty and general con-
versation. Her opportunity came that
night at dinner.
Sweet flowers Of spring." murmur-
ed the sentimentalist, ap~ostrophizing
the nodding daffodil centerpiece.
Aren't they dear? So full Of poesy!
And don't you think that we ought al
ways to call them daffadowndillies in
stead of daffodils?" she whispered.
mo, I don't" answered the neigh
Dor, uncompromisingly. and quite out
loud. Just think how awkward it
would have been for Wordsworth If
he'd had to write:
And then my heart with pleasure FL
lies, =
And dances with the daffadownd!l-
lies"
For once the sentimentalist was ST.
fenced.

The United States Steel Corporation
has now definitely decided to abandon
gradually the great coke oven plants
at Connellsville, Pa. The purpose is
not only to anticipate the exhaustion
of the Connellsville region, but to de-
velop u system Of by product cokins
under which yield of coke from coal
can be increased from Sc per cent to
rs per cent, besides obtaining in the
operation the valuable products of gas
tar and ammonia. In one ton Of coal
they are now able to save ten gallons
of tar, twenty-three pounds Of ammo.
MIA and from $500 to 1000 feet of gas
The gas is the surplus above VIA is
required for operating the coke plant
The value Of these products is about
SIPS, and by having plants erected in
connection with the various iron anG
steel mills at different places a great
saving in coal freight is contemplated
This system is similar in purpose to
the b~y-products method adopted with
such success by the oil and beef trusts
The initial mill in this plan has Just
been completed and put in operation
at Joliet, ILL.,, and others are projected
at Girard and Youngstown, Ohio. A,
the Connellsville ovens go out. Other
b~y-product plants contiguous to thu
of the trust will be erected.

Government Putting Up II Modcrn
station at Cape HinchinbrOOk.

Government Putting Up II
Station at Cape HinchinbrO0k.
G. W.. Leick, chief draughtsman o.
the engineering department in charge
of lighthouse construction for Alaska
has returned to this city on the light
house tender America from Cape
Hinchinbrook, where the government
is at present erecting a light, a Cor
dova (Alaska) dispatch says. To ship
ping men Mr.. Leick explained the high
class of light which the government is
much qualification is felt for the pro
lection which this light will offer.
In speaking Of the character of the
light Mr. Leick said the main building
is to be two stories high, built in a
hectagon or oblong shape, with the
light tower in the center, which IS to
be built Of reinforced concrete. The
building is to be thoroughly modern in
every respect. On the lower floor will
be baths and lavatories, engine room,
work shop, store rooms and a tank
room for the storing Of oil.
The second floor is to be used for
the living rooms of the keepers. There
are four bedrooms, sitting and dining
room, kitchen and pantry. The entire
building will be heated by a hot water
plant. The water supply mn har-
messed by a huge concrete cistern OF
$4,000 gallons capacity, situated un.
foreground to prevent freezing in win
ter.
About forty feet from the main
building is a small freproof structure
in which paints and oils will be stored.
A complete set of carpenter and ma.
chinist tools will be carried, and sup
ply of lumber, SO that the station will
be equipped to repair any ordinary
damage.
The light proper at the top of the
concrete tower is twelve feet in diam
eter and eighteen feet high, construct,
ed principally of plate glass. The light
will be of the third class order, but
with new improvements which gives it
the same power as the first order light.
1t is a white flash light with at least
10000 candle power, and can be seen
at a distance of twenty to twenty-five
miles at sea.
In connection with the light is a
huge fog signal or air siren, which is
operated by two coal oil engines and
an air compressor, and during fog or
thick weather can be heard many
miles at sea.
When the lighthouse is completed
and accepted by the government, Mr.,
Leick stated, it will be the finest
equipped light along the Alaska coast
and cost approximately SIPS 900.
Owing to the recent loss of a scow'
load of materials containing the plate
glass, light, copper plates and a lot OF
lumber, the permanent light will not
be completed this fall, as expected. A
temporary light will be maintained,
however, which the shipping men are
verv thankful for

MONEY INSTITUTIONS COMBINE.
Morgan Engineers Record Merger OF
Three Trust Companies.

J. Pierpont Morgan, head of the
money trust, accomplished another of
his tremendous coups the other day,
panies into one of the greatest bank
ing institutions in the country, a
5000, 900 900 assets concern, to be
known as the Guaranty Trust Com
pany. The companies concerned are
the Morton Trust Company, the Fifth
Avenue Trust Company and the Guar
anty Trust Company.
While not so officially announced,
this merger is currently reported to
have been brought about by Mr.. Nor
gan purchasing the stock inter-
ests of Thomas F.. Ryan and the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company. Two
months ago he purchased the holdings
of the late E. H. Hartman in the
Guaranty Trust Company, so that he
already had control of the central in
Stitution in this new consolidation.
The merger marks the following out
Of a policy outlined some time ago
for the consolidation of many of the
large financial institutions of New
York City and calls attention in the
most forcible way to the dominant in
fiuence Of the Morgan interests in the
financial world. 1t marks the acqui-
sition by Mr.. Morgan and his associ-
ates of two financial institutions at
one time controlled by other powerful
interests, for the Guaranty Trust Com
AMY was dominated by the late E. H..
Hartman and the Morton Trust Com
pany was the headquarters of Thomas
f. Ryan.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
If Agriculture, discussing the high
prices of food supplied. Il have no
doubt in the world" he continued,
that the same conditions will be
found to prevail in most of the other
lines of GOD products. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has agents in eV-
cry State and every county in the
country, and they nave been ordered
to report extensively on the cost of
production and the returns of sales of
all sorts of food products. AS fast as
we receive these figures we will COM
pare them with the prices the same
products bring in the cities where they
are consumed. We will then give the
facts to the public. We intend to
bring out the truth, irrespective Of
whom it hurts or whom it benefits. l
am convinced that the public is COM
PEELED to pay a great deal more for
nearly everything it eats than it
should, and 1 believe the figures will
bear me out.
There is ample excuse for SOM OF
the increase in the cost of living over
what it was years ago. The farm area
is not keeping pace with the demands
for %foodstuff. The cities seem to la
more attractions for the laboring man
than do the rural communities. The
horde Of immigration, as well as the
