party was. All were happy In her
happiness. At last Ruth was going
to make a grand match. judging from
the violets.
Returning from the club, Ruth met
Mr.. Butler as he turned the corner IN
his red car Stopping his automobile
he asked if he might not take her
home. Ruth joyfully acquiesced, think
ing this would be good opportunity
to acknowledge his gift.
George Butler was amazed during
the short ride to find how different
Ruth was. He had always found her
cold and Indifferent. Today she was
a sweet charming girl, sparkling.
witty and interesting.
May 1 call for you to go to church

reached her home,

with you
Her many references to the violets
she wore caused him a jealous tinge.
Il must get busy if l want to win
that girl" he said to himself.
After an intimacy of a few weeks
Ruth announced her engagement to
her amazed family. Just as they were
congratulating her, letter came from
Martin, tie florist, containing card
with apolo gies from the firm, stating
they had just found this card which
should have been enclosed with box
of flowers sent three weeks previous.
1t was from tie Ladies' Aid Society In
recognition for the good work she had
accomplished for the club
II thought it strange that George
was so silent about those violets, but
I don't care now" said Ruth as she
tore up, the card. I'm engaged to the
grandest fellow on earth, and the
next time they send me bunch Of
violets it will be addressed to Mira

MAKES CONCESSIONS TO JEWS.
Russia Agrees to Permit Residents OF
This Country TO Enter.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Russia is
conceding the right OF entry into that
country, of American Jews visiting the
cars domains on business missions.
The Russian embassy here Is now Is
suing passports OF this kind TO proper
ly identify American Jewish business
men.
IL is stated here that this Is not
the result OF any recent pressure
brought to bear on the Russian gov
eminent through threatened legisla-
ton in the direction Of abrogation of
the existing Russo-American treaty,
but results from more liberal view
that has been taken in Russia as a
matter of sound internal administra-
ton. II Is understood that IL Is now
proposed to abolish the whole system
OF Russian passports, which would
remove the last obstacle to the entry
into the country of persons of any re-
ligious faith or race, although OF
course the Jews would have to OBJ
serve the restrictions as to residence
within the pale" so long as the laws
on that subject remain in force.

HOW SHOE TRUST
WAS ORGANIZED
Winslow Invites Early Rivals, Forces
Others Into Line and Develops
Leasing System.

BOSTON, May 27.-In the year 1890
manufacturers all over the country
were fighting each other to secure the
services OF inventors OF shoe machin.
cry.
To-day an inventor OF shoe machin.
cry must take his invention TO the
United Machinery companys office in
Boston. IL he shares the fate of other
inventors. some OF whom have brought
vain action against the trust. his ma
chine will either be taken away from
him as an infringement or else he
Will be paid very small amount OF
money ano his invention will be-
thrown on the scrap heap
Over 200 practical inventions for
shoe-making were I'm use In 1890
Competition was rife and to increase
II, there came the invention OF the
son OF Goodyear who discovered the
means OF vulcanizing rubber This In.
vention was for fastening the soles OF
shoes onto uppers by means OF a welt.
which acted something as a wedge.
BY the time Goodyears machinery
was on the market there had been a
decided tendency TO reduce competi-
ton and many OF the various COM
panies in which Mckay held con.
trolling interest were combined. The
Goodyear invention, with the welt-sole
system, reopened competition, be-
cause the manufacturer who didn't
want TO use the Mckay machinery
could use the Goodyear machinery, or
vice versa. Or. he might use both.
Sidney w. Winslow. by this time,
had allied himself with Wallace F..
Robinson and was president OF a small
"hand-lasting machine company" Hig
ambition was growing. He realized
that, II all the shoe making machin-
cry OF the country, protected under
American patents, could be put under
one control, IL would be possible for
those who controlled the machines to
stop making shoes and to Just lay
back and let the other fellow do the
work-and pay tribute to the ma
chinery owners.
Winslow and Robinson got hold OF
George w. Brown, who had been a
sewing machine agent In upper New
England. He became the machinery
expert OF the trio.
They induced man who owned a
business college In Boston to sell to
them his shares OF stock I'm a CON-
peting machinery company. With this
block of stock which proved to be the
keystone In the shoe manufacturing
business Winslow and his associates
carried the day, and persuaded the
shoe machinery makers to pool their
interests and cease competition.
On Feb. 2, 1899, the United Shoe
Machinery trust was Incorporated in
New Jersey with Winslow president.
He has been president ever since.
Winslow's first step was to devise
lease which would put the shoe man.
ufaeturers in his power.
The shrewdest lawyer In New Eng
land drew up a form Of lease which
has meant more TO the shoe machin-
cry trust than any OF it's machinery.

mistake. He finds that the advice
given him by Aldrich and Cannon

He has thrown over Aldrich and

them generally is credited to the Ca

Must Convince People.
"Mr. Taft must convince the pub
lie that he Is a progressive. The rea-
son people are talking about the
of LaFollette In the wide
spread and settled conviction that this
has been reactionary.
The president knows that this will
defeat him unless he can do some
thing TO head IL of. That Is the rea-

TO which he Is not prepared to go to
convince the public OF his intention
to reform. He wants another term.
To that end he Is ready to surround
himself with an entirely new set OF
counselors and to forswear his for
mer friends"
The managers of LaFollette's cam

know whether 1t Is true or not. Meth

they will go right on trying to name

MICHIGAN MAN WILL
GO TO ARCTIC REGION.
John NJ. Lonsyear 10 To Penetrate
the Far North To Look Over
Coal Mine.

MARQUETTE. Mich. May 29.-
With Spitzbergen as his destination.
John M. Longyear, OF Marquette,
Mich, and Brookline. Mass. will sail
from New York city. June 10. He goes
to the Arctic region TO look over a
coal mine developed within 700 miles
OF the pole ard In which he is heavily
interested. He will sail from New
York TO England and thence to from
so, In the northern part OF Norway.
From Tromso the trip to SpitzDer-
gen. distance of 500 miles, will be
made In the Longyear company's own
steamer. vessel formerly engaged
IN the whaling trade.
The Longyear interests, organized
as the Arctic Coal company, have
control OF several hundred square
miles In four different tracts on the
islands OF Spitzbergen. a very large
part OF which has not been explored.
The islands are rich in coal and IN
places the geology suggests the pres
ence OF gold and iron ore. Some iron
has been found, In fact, but how-ex-
tensive or how valuable the deposits
may be is as yet all guesswork. No
geld has been discovered.
The diplomatic phase of the enter.
prise is an interesting one Spltzber-
gen is known as "No mans land" No
nation has established sovereignty
over IL. although Russia and Norway
claim certain underlined territorial
rights there. The American govern
ment has given the matter some At
tention and proposes TO see that Am.
erican interests are protected. The
capitalists OF the Arctic Coal company
do not apprehend that there will be
any trouble about ultimately fixing
Spitzbergen's status In satisfactory
manner and have no fear that their
rights and interests will not be fully
safeguarded
AS yet the coal resources OF Spitz-
bergen cannot be estimated, though
they are known to be extensive. Ex-
ploration work Is being conducted
along with the mining operations and
II is possible that a good deal has
been accomplished in this direction
during the past winter. Mr.. Longyear
expects to spend about a week in
July at the mine and then will spend
several weeks cruising about the is
lands.
