STEEL FOR BIG DITCH.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Shipments of
structural steel for the caissons of the
Atlantic terminal docks of the Panama
Canal were commenced today and it is
expected that the entire amount need
ed will be unloaded on the Isthmus
within a month. The steel is shipped
in flat sheets and is rolled and riveted
in five-foot sections at the Cristobal
boiler shop. About 20 per cent. of the
work is already completed.
New bids for the transportation of
mails from Atlantic to Pacific ports
by way of the Panama Canal were
asked for today by the postoffice de-
partment. Postmaster-General Hitch
cock was not satisfied with the bid
received from the Hawaiian
Steamship Company on the last pro-
posal, principally because it modified
the proposition of the government. He
hopes to obtain bids for the service
from several steamship companies.
Bidders have six months in which to
formulate ther proposals, and the
bids will be opened about June 1, next.

BlOXI HAS MILLION
BUSHEL SHELL PILE.

Biloxi, Miss, Dec. 20.-A lively con-
troversy is now on in the columns of
the Fishing Journal as to where the
largest pile of oyster shells in the
world is to be found. One writer
claims that the pile belonging to the
Andrew Radel Oyster Company was
the largest and contained $4,000
bushels of oyster shells. Another
writer claims that Ruge Bros, of Ap-
palachicola, Fla, has the largest, but
the honor seems due to Mississippi, for
the pile of shells at the great oyster
packery at Biloxi of Dunbars, Lopez
4 Dukate Co., contains more than a
million bushels of shells: and a great
many shells have been sold out of
the pile. Nevertheless it is the largest
known anywhere and twice as large as

Washington, Dec. 2O.-President
Taft sent to Congress today the long
awaited report of the Tariff Board on
Schedule "K' of the Payne Tariff act
and accompanied it with a message
recommending that rates on wool and
woolens be materially reduced. The
report shows that the existing duties
on many classes of wool and wool
manufactures are prohibitory and
greatly in excess Of the difference in
the cost of production here and abroad.
The duties are so arranged as to keep
out of the United States entirely woods
of finer qualities, which, if imported,
might be used to displace the cheap
substitutes now employed. President
Taft calls attention to these facts and
urges a revision of the schedule at
once. He characterizes the report of

a preacher Of the gospel, he is also
designated as an M. D. by the coiored

New York, Dec 20-Among the out
a-5ob Thespians that deiectedly stroll
up and down the Great White Way,
the saddest of all are the show girls. "
Several hundred Of these girls,
some experienced, some merely aspir-
ing, are out of work and cannot land

going to see a show girl starve so
long as the lobster palaces are open
and the champagne runs dry" in
quality only, but landladies and tail
ors and dress-makers are not always
content to exchange receipted bills
for the pleasant charms incident to
acquaintances with stage beauties.
Because of the insistent nature of
the landladies, tailors and dress-mak-
ers, the jobless show girls are con
fronted by the alternative of "go to
work at something else" or loaf and
go hungry" A number of them have
put their pride in their pockets and
have gone to work at something else.
At least 20 to so show girls have be-
come models in New York's depart
ment stores. Others have scattered
among pursuits where looks and shape
have a market value. Some have
consented to languidly and loftily
serve griddle cakes and pie to the
frequenters of quick lunch depots and
boarding houses, some have accept

But not every show girl will, even
temporarily. forsake the footlights
for plebian toll no matter how urgent
the call. If she is off Broadway she
is out of touch with the managers
and for this reason she sometimes
will not accept even a stage position
unless it is for New York produc
tion. For these reasons New York
always has more show girls than il
has places for.
That the number out of employment
should be larger now than in any pre-
vious year is due largely to two caus
