NEW YORK, March 2-When the
cases of the indicted meat packers were
taken UP by the prosecutors forces In
Hudson county, N. j., today there were
indications that definite moves expected
to bring matters to a crisis would be
shortly forthcoming.
Prosecutor Garven said that he be-
neved that most Of the indicted men have
been in the state within two years and he
will try to get all the defendants hero.
when Gov. Fort signs the requisition
papers," said the prosecutor, II shall go
personally before Gov. Deneen Of Illinois
and request him to sign the extradition
papers, so that the men can be brought
here.1
Sheriff Kelly today received the capiases
for the individuals and summonses for the
corporations named in the indictment in
the packing cases. The sheriff will bring
all those within his jurisdiction into court.

Miracles Of the Future.
the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In an interview printed in an eastern
publication Thomas A. Edison says some
interesting and suggestive things about
the problems which the inventors of the
future ought to solve. OF these problems
the most pressing. in his opinion. is how
to get the full value out of fuel. At pres
emit our best steam engines use only about
Is per cent Of the energy OF the coal they
consume, while gas engines certainly util-
lie no more than 25 per cent.
There are various methods being tried
at present to convert coal directly into
electricity without the use Of boiler,
eliminating fire and steam. But though
some are scientifically successful. no one
has yet found out how to make them
commercially successful. The utilization
of the power of radium is, of course. an
other problem. Some day large deposits
of it may be found: and the power then
at the service of men. If we assume some
way Of Harvesting 1t to be discovered,
would be without limit. "A carload of ra-
dunn" Edison adds, would have as much
energy as all the millions of tons of coal
mined in the United States in a year."
After the power of our waterfalls is de-
veloped the question Of utilizing that of
the tides and waves may occupy the in
ventOrs. However. the machinery to ac-
complish this would require a staggering
ly large investment. More practicable are
windmills connected with storage bat
teries for the purpose Of laying up the
energy Of the winds in electrical form.

Wade Hampton Monument.
m the Charleston News and Courier.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
That beautiful woman who has just
gone into the house yonder is. strange to
say, going around begging from door to
door. She will probably come out in
little while empty-handed and heartsore,
because she is not begging for herself or
for a member OF her household. or for
any friend whose immediate wants Of
food and shelter must be supplied. She
is begging from house to house for the
good name of the community, for contri-
buttons in aid Of the monument which 1t
is proposed to build In this town to Wade
Hampton. Isn't it strange that here in
Charleston, where this great man first saw
the light. there should be any difficulty
whatever in raising money to build a mon
ument that will be creditable to the town?
It does not matter to Hampton whether
q monument Is erected here or any
where, but 1t does matter to Charleston.
It matters more that the monument shall
reflect some credit on the community; 1t
will be, in fact q sign of what the COM
munity is worth. There is talk of trying
to do with two or three thousand dollars
which has been squeezed out of the town
in all sorts of ways what, II 1t should be
done right. would require the expenditure
of ten times as much. 1.-The fault with
our people Is that they do not know how
to give and they do not care to learn"
That is what one of our own people said
yesterday. Better build no monument at
all than to build one which will not do
credit to the town.

LONDON. February 10, 1910.
London has been suffering since No
vember last from plethora Of cleo
tons. They started quite early in that
month with the contests for the bor-
ough councils. There are twenty-eight
Of them, and as they have on an aver
age nifty members each there were about
400 seats to be filled, and there were
nearly 1900 candidates worrying the cleo
tors for their votes.
AZ soon az that little contest was over
there came the elections for the court OF
common council. The numbers there
were smaller, but among city men a seat
on the common council Is regarded as
something very much more important
than q seat at Westminster. When that
was finished the general election cropped
body to say q word about that now.
Everybody Is heartily sick OF 1t.
But the town is now plunged into q
fight which to the metropolis 10 almost
as bad as a general election because the
electors are now called upon to elect
the London county council. March they
will be relieved from that duty. and
within q week Or two following round
will come another lot OF candidates ask

There may be people who can take all
these contests calmly and without any
show OF irritation, but when the aver
aRe man has q caller at his house nearly
every day for four months soliciting his
suffrage his patience is apt TO give out.

1.-THE most striking thing about New York
Is its hopefuness.' Even our poverty
here lacks the quality Of despair. Even
the man who fails of success for himself
sees 1t coming to the children. 1.-THE Eu-
ropean Of the same class has not the
same assurance"
In such expressions Nine. lie Verrier
touches upon the theory. not yet degen-
Grated wholly into theory. Of democratic
opportunity. We have expectations and
the grounds for them over here based on
the fact that affairs still change and
that the social body changes with them.
No fixture Of class exists. No barrier
arises with the notice, unwritten yet
plain. Thus far and no farther!" to
genius and persevering merit.
Yet we would care to have the appre-
citation Of the hopefulness Of New York
extend to issues Of broader moment than
individual success. Really this great city
throbs with hopefulness. Throbbing as
1t does with life, 1t could not do other
wise. 1t endures the ills OF bad govern
ment. upheld by never-failing hope for
better. 1t stands the oppressive conges-
ton Of local transit channels with the
patience born with the expectation that
politicians and corporate monopolies will
cease after a time to prevent the sub
ways that are overdue.

of the time while the stock was in the

shares was offered at the same figure.
There was no bid for such lots except
one of 50 for 100 shares.
At the close the stock was to be had
at 20, with the bid an eighth Of a point
less.

been declared on Lanston. the books to

The announcement did not have much
effect on the current figures for the stock,

an advance of a quarter of a point over

correct in the past. 1t is not the case
today, If the Smith College registra-
ton Is correct. Helen is the name of
one Smith undergraduate in every six
teen, an interesting revival Of the his
toric ratio. The complete tabulation
shows the comparative use Of the diff
ferent spellings. Lillian" occurs nine
times to two ''Lilians"-in spite Of the
example of Tennyson. Elizabeth Is
spelled forty-seven times with q e
and twice with an 49," Katherine is
spelled ar twenty-five times and 'er'
twelve times, while the old form be-
ginning with &C" is found nine times
more. Fashions change quite as rap
idly In the names which fond parents
select for their infants as in anything
else in the world. The old biblical
names Of CromwelIs time, and even of
the older days Of New England, are
used but little today. Names thus come
and CO. New racial elements bring
new names with them. A great ma

safe to say that twice as many boys
are being named Theodore today as

NEW YORK, March 2-Rather con-
vincing evidence that accumulation on an
extensive scale had been taking place
during the recent period Of dizziness and
narrow price movements was furnished
by todays stock market in the ease and
rapidity with which quotations were ad-
vanced substantially on what was after
all a relatively moderate amount Of buy
ing.
Business did, indeed. show a marked
increase, the volume of transactions up
to noon being about 10000 shares. or
rather above than below the average of
total dealings for q full session during
the last fortnight.
At the same time the quantity Of stock
on which quoted values were raised from
one to two points above the advance
levels reached yesterday was not very
great.
Waiting for Big Profit.
Such conditions unquestionably demon
strated q large previous absorption of
supplies and, Furthermore. this absorb
ton had obviously not been for the ac-
count Of traders who would be content
with small profits, for the realisation on
the advance was apparently not In con-
siderable volume. There could be no
doubt that the retirement Of short con-
tracts was an important factor in the
days price movement but apart from
that the market furnished indications of
persistent powerful buying which fol-
lowed prices UP. and the signs OF this
sort encouraged speculative interests to
a degree which accounted for a decided
increase In commission house business.
The opening was firm, and with nothing
but hating moments until well into the
afternoon. the record OF the days market
was practically one Of uninterrupted rise.
