NOTED BOAT RETIRED
Passing of Mary Powell Ends Old
Steamboat Days.
Famous Hudson River Craft Still
6tanch and Seaworthy, but Her
Limited Size 10 Responsible
for Her Removal.

New York.-Old steamboat days on
the Hudson we're the best OF all, and
the lapse of the Mary Powell marks
the close of them. No blame cen be
attached to the old vessel for her dis
appearance from the route that she
has travelled for half a century, for
only her limited size is responsible for
her removal. Her sides are still as
stanch as ever. and the Palisades will
still return the echo of her paddle
wheels when the rush season is over
But the fact remains that the most
popular and widely known steamboat
Of American waters has been driven
into the background, and that the day
OF old-fashioned steamboating had
gone there with her.

earlier rivalry on the river and how

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant, not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for its food
AS 1t floats underneath the surface of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. Its leaves are
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put Oh it. A small worm
or small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

The Chancellor Livingston.

and Chancellor Livingston was finally
broken up. The Chancellor Livings-
ton, steamer named after Fulton's
famous partner of that name, was one
OF the most interesting of all the
early boats.
1t was designed by Robert Fulton
himself, says Buchanan. but the great
inventor died before this steamer was
completed, which was a marked i'm
provement over his previous models.
The Livingston was considered re-
markedly speedy in her day, as she
could make IL miles an hour with the
tide and six against it." The Chancel-
Tor Livingston was the fourth steamer
on the river, as the Clermont had been
succeeded by the Car of Neptune and
the Paragon. The Paragon, it Is re-
corded, was 173 feet long and alter
mated with the Car Of Neptune.
One Of the hoodoo boats of the river
was the good ship Victory, which was
built In 1897. Her passengers were SO
afraid that her boilers would burst
that sometimes they turned out OF

on her regular passenger trips.
The South America was a famous
old river boat that was built In 1910
for Isaac Newton, of Rensselaer, coun-
ty, who had designed several we'll
known river boats and who was a
power on the river at one time. The
South America was the first boat to
make the run between New York and
Albany In less than eight hours. She
was popular and luxuriously fitted for
her time, and did good service for
"a years. when, toward the close OF
the Civil war, she was rebuilt into a
hay barge. In addition to her fame
as record breaker, she and her con-
sort, the North America. were we'll
known among rivermen because they
were the first steamers to burn an
thracite. When the old boat had seen
her day and was being transformed
into humble hay carrier, small boys
used to go in swimming from her side
ut Rondout and made use OF her state
rooms as bath houses.

GOVERNMENT MOVES
AGAINST CAN TRUST
Suit For Dissolution of Ameri-
can Company Instituted To-
day At Baltimore.

Suit for the dissolution of the Ameri-
can Can Company and it's subsidiary
companies was filed by Assistant At
torneys General Todd and Adkins, in
the Cnited States Court, a.. Baltimore,
today. Conspiracy in restraint of trade
is alleged in the bill. which names
nine companies and twenty-seven indi-
viduals as defendants.
The Governments petition declares
that the trust was formed by the
Moore and Reid interests in 1900 and
1901, when a single corporation, known
as the American Can Company, was
organized. which acquired control of
the greater portion OF the can-making
ma achinery factories in the United
States.
Immediately after the formation of
the combination the company caused
the acquired plants to be dismantIed to
such An extent that within two years
only thirty-seven factories were left out
Of a total of over 100 acquired.
1t is, alleged that the combination mas
controlled prices, has compelled dealers
to enter exclusive contracts and has
made xecessive profits on it's deals.
The Government asks for the dissolu-
ton of the company into such separate
Hits as will restore ompetitive condi-
tions.
