BIG SUCCESS.
OF Vital Importance to tho INDUS

Waterway, Svhen Completed Will

Washington, July 5.-Alerady prep
arationS are under way for holding
the ext annual Atlantic deeper water
ways convention at Providence, Aug
ustt 31st and September 1st, End, and
3d.
The president Of the association is
Representative j. Hampton Moore of
Philadelphia, and he believes that
that question of a continuous wafer
way along the Atlantic coast is one
of the vital industries of the day.
Industries as the army engineers
with their limited force have been,
Mr.. Moore said, ut may be scme
time before full report will be made
upon the survey for continuous
waterway along the Atlantic coast,
as authorized by the rivers and har-
bors act of 1909. The work was sub
divided so that the links of the pro-
p sed chain fro Boston to Key West
and across Florida were taken up by
separate boards, all of which have
been carefully examining the various
routes, with view of ascertaining
those most feasible to link up the
whole. Several routes from Boston
across State and by way of Nara
gansett to LCng Island sound have
been considered, and much field
work has been done, particularly on
the Deleware and Raritan and Chesa-
peake and Delaware links. The work
upon the Beaufort-Norfolk line is be-
lieved to be complete as is that fur
ther south via the various natural
waterways to the end of the Florida
| peninsula.
cat this meeting President Taft is
to be the guest of the people on one
OF the convention days; members Of
the cabinet, governors Of states, ma
tional representatives and senators
are to be among the distinguished
! visitors, - -"E.|
The Main Idea. >4lAy.. l.I
The main idea of the scheme, Mr..
Moore said, was to show the absolute
necessity of connecting the New Eng
| land and South Atlantic coasts.
The Atlantic coast is still the great
tariff revenue producing instrument
of the government.
Mr.. Moore says that there is moth
ing slow about the South; that that
sect n has been getting good appro-
priations and that it is up to the
New England States to follow the
South's lead an dthat SET by the
West
To sum it all up, Mr.. Moore is Of
the opinion that New England must
awaken to the Importance Of the en-
tire Atlantic coast The Providence
| convention he believes, will help to
make the, situation understandable.
New England needs improved com
munications with the South and
West; ityonght to have an anchor
to windward' in transportation. Big
ger and better business awaits the
opening uD of the long expected con-
Meeting link from Boston to Long
Island sound and tthe, other link con-
tamplated further south. The com
petition of this inside route will rev
o'utiOnize business Conditions more
thoroughly. Mr. Moore thinks, than
all the good the railroads might do
in many years He believes the
Providence convention will be one
of the hest on record.

interesting debate on the plumage b1il

purpose of prohibiting the sale or ex-

Use an active ar i successful campaign,
since the great millinery establish
ments which had formerly opposed
such measures are not likely to offer
any opposition. Indeed, the interviews
obtained by the London press from rep
resentatives of the millinery trade
have brought forth some curious state

to those uttered in the same quarters
3 year ago. Then the trade cited the
Partisan milliners and the demands Of
thei- own customers. The former,
they said, set the fashion, while the
latter were slaves to it, Now they sing

ton is urged by our customers against
using the plumage of birds killed for
food, but these customers are discoUr-
aging the slaughter of humming birds
and birds of paradise by steadily re-
fusing to purchase hats IN whose dec

You would be surprised remarked
another milliner, to know how the
sentiment against the indiscriminate
slaughter of beautiful birds has de-
veloped among our fashionable pa
irons There are many, Of course, who
will have feathers at any cost, and If
the bill prohibits the importation OF
birds of gay plumage these ladies, in
stead Of patronizing London millinery
establishments, will go over to Paris
for their headgear."
These two extracts from interviews
in quarters least expected show that

be called, will probably become a Law

Story Shows Stephen French Was

1t was in 1882 that the name of
Grover Cleveland first became a
household one throughout the country.
of New York over Charles j. Folger
by plurality of nearly two hundred
thousand. Two years later he was
president-elect, his seconE phenome-
nal elective victory resulting directly
from his first, which was due in no
small measure to the famous forged
telegram of 1882.
That telegram cropped up when the
Republican state convention was
gathering to select its gubernatorial
candidate. A desperate struggle was
under way to secure control Of the
convention through its organization
by the state committee. The friends
of President Arthur were backing his
secretary of he treasury, Mr. Fol
ger, for the nomination. At the height
of the battle Stephen V. French,
personal friend of the president, ap-
peared before the state committee
holding a telegraphic proxy which en-
titled him to serve in place of VIII
liam H. Robertson, collector of the
port of New York This proxy de-
termined the control of the conven-
ton and assured the nomination of
Folger.
But Folger had not been nominated
many hours before Collector Robert
son was out with a statement de-
nouncing as forgery the proxy pre-
scented by Mr. French. Instantly the
telegram became a powerful issue in
the campaign, helping materially to
defeat Folger And as for French,
though he denied forging it, he be-
came known far and wide derisively
as Proxy" French, he became an out
cast, almost, and at last died practical
ly unknown.
Now, nearly twenty-eight years aft
er the forged telegram, which helped
to shake great events, was sprung,

the steamship companies are unable
to accommodate these people who
have trusted to luck to get tickets at

that was set aside for their passage

MACHINE TO SEPARATE COINS
Simple Device invented by Pennsyl-
vania Man Great Convenience
In Bank.

Harrisburg, Pa-At the age of SO
years, Daniel Drawbaugh, the prolific
Cumberland county inventor, to whom
many people give the credit for being
the originator of the modern tele-
phone, is organizing company and
planning to erect big factory for the
manufacture of coin separator which
his brain has recently evolved.
The separator consists of series of
brass plates, one above another, per-
forated with holes sufficiently large to
allow a coin of certain size to slip
through, and no larger. Mr.. Draw
Daugh's model works to perfection. He
dumps in a shovelful or so of dollars,
halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and
cents, gives the crank a turn and the
dollars drop into tube; another turn
and out come the halves, etc. Pressure
of a button in the tube separates the
coins into piles of five, ten, twenty,
etc., for easy rolling into packages.
Mr.. Drawbaugh says two sizes of the
separator will be marketed, one re-
failing at s65 and the other at S75.
The price, he claims, will bring the
machine within the reach of every
financial institution or counting room
which needs one, while previous sep
arators have been so complicated or
so expensive as to be either prac-
tically useless or beyond the reach of
the average individual or firm.

Greeted With Astonishment and Curl
osity, They Were Finally Ordered
Back to Their Ship as Most
Undesirable Foreign Devils"

Setn Low, who is known in ma
tional education circles as former
president of Columbia university, in
national philanthropic circles as
maker of numerous munificent gifts,
and in politics as a former mayor OF
New York city, and also of Brooklyn
when the latter was an independent
city, was one of a company of gentle
men who had met TO discuss the TWEEN
tieth century industrial and CONNER
cial awakening of China. Mr.. Lows
father, the late A A. Low, gained his
great fortune and established world
wide reputation as merchant,
through the great commerce estaD-
blished by his house with China. He
was owner of some of the clipper
ships which made America famous on
the seas sixty odd years ago.
OF the men who met with Mr.. Low
there were several who had recently
been in China, and thye told from per-
sonal knowledgs of the great changes
taking place in the empire, and par
ticularly of the new and friendly attl-
tude towards foreigners on the part
of the ruling classes.
The change towards foreigners has,
indeed, been most marked, said MI.
Low. The anecdote of the first wom-
en- of American birth and training
and, also, think, the first white wom-
en- of any nation-to put foot upon
Chinese soil proves that. One of these
ladies was an aunt of mine, sister
of my father, and the other was a
near relative of hers. and younger.
Their adventure in China, l believe, Is
not generally known.
These ladies took passage for Chi
ma upon one of my fathers clippers.
On reaching port they went ashore,

Partisan of foreigners. On the boule,

an obvious American, who either sellg
questionable picture cards, offers to-

Though the willing prisoners are on

Cured to us was that Judge Robertson

FARMER HAS NEW VEGETABLE
Tennesseean Says He Has at Last
Raised ppermato-Peculiar
Combination.

Humboldt, Tenn.-Henry P. Cole,
a prosperous farmer of this vicinity,
promises to rival the great Burbank
in marvellous feats of plant raising.
His latest innovation is combina-
ton tomato and pepper plant. which
will enable the lover of the delicious
fruit to abandon the antiquated meth
cd of using pepper, it being only.
necessary to slice the new product
and it is ready for use.
The tomato patch from which the
freak tomato was taken is in close
proximity to field of peppers, and 1t
is supposed. by the plant raisers or
this section that the pollen of the
two was mixed during the blooming
season. The physical construction of
the "peppermafo," as it has been local
" dubbed is peculiarly interesting.
AS if taking into consideration the
tastes Of every one, nature so ar
ranged the fruit that the pepper part
may be separated from the tomato,
and those who fear the i'll effects of
pepper upon human vitality may raise
the fruit for market purposes and at
the same time remove the pod from
the few which they may personally
consume.
The "peppermato" resembles the.
poverbial Siamese twins, being a per
feet specimen of tomato species, to-
which is grated a full pod of pep
per. 1t is thought that the new plant
involves principles which will be of
interest to scientists.
