Upon the highest authority the New

water-tight compartment doors were
not working when the ship left South
ampton, and that no attempt was made
to test them on her maiden voyage to
this country. for fear they would stick.
On this same authority the American
learned that all of the doors were open

remained open until she sank.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The weather man

Blatch thought might reach 5000 in num-
Der. are disappointed to learn that Col.
Roosevelt had declined the invitation to
lead their division. The colonel ex-
planned that he had several important en-

The program of the parade, which will
be about three and one-half miles. pro-

Those who kept in touch with
the ore market this last week
profited to the extent of three or
four dollars per ton on their
shipments of the week which
meant that a mine having one
carload sale made an additional
S120 for, opening at $50 per ton
the market closed at $57 base.
The base range for the week was
$50 to $57 with a top price of $50
or within a small amount of the
top price reported several weeks
ago.
On the early sales the advances
in ore prices were indicated and
in many cases operators who had
sold low the previous week sold,
thinking they made a good dis
position of their product. Those
who were watching the situation
calmly waited till Thursday when
the price went up to SIS and
$3.50. Friday the situation be-
came even more exciting and $50
and $57 were paid. It was a pc
culiar market. Those who made
the highest bids or really made
the advance in the market did
not succeed in every instance in
getting the ore, due entirely to
the custom Of the regular buyers
taking the ore when he would
meet the bids of his competitor
for the week. One buyer report
ed that he did not make a single
bid during the week of his own
vOlitiou. He simply had to 60
and ask his regular customers
what bids they had been made
and tell them that he would pay
what they asked.
Calamine ores were strong,
too, and brought $50 to $34, al
though there was not a great.

MAKING BUSINESS
FRIENDS At HOME.

When you desire to raise money
to put through a business propo-
sition, do you board a railroad
train and seek it from the capi-
talists in some city?
Well, not very often. You 60
down the street, calling on every
one in sight, and come back on
the other side.
And yet some of as who have
often asked for business favors of
our home people in the past, and
will ask for them again, do not
hesitate to spend money freely
and needlessly in patronizing the
merchants of other cities often
too, to our distinct disadvantage
and regret.
1t is an excellent principle in
business to stand by the people
who stick to you. The man who
buys everything possible at home
creates a circle of business friends
who appreciate his loyalty, and
would like to return it insofar as
they can.
These business relations lead
to personal friendships and they
bring returns not from self in
terest alone, but from ties OF
neighborliness and good fellow
ship.
A great many things in life &c
by favor. When two PROPOSE
tions look about alike, you choose
the one that is backed by the
man with whom you have had
some friendly relation. Every
time anyone buys at home he Gre
ates that relation, and the fruit
age is likely to come back with a
surprising amount of compound
interest some day, and it often
comes from unexpected quarters
The person who buys goods Of
some distant concern never gets
anything in the way of reciproc'
ity or return. He has cast his
bread on waters that flow away
and will never return. Who ir
the big mail order house cares Of
knows about him, save as one
cog in the vast machine of dis
tribution to be ground through
the days work without the slight
est feeling of personal friend
ship or reciprocity.
