II isn't only the nations at war
which are coming after out goods.
The Merchants Assn of New
York announces that orders ana
inquiries for American manufac-

Electrical goods are demanded by
Australia and South Africa; food

10 100 per cent of Mexico's for

But it is not only the export
business that has begun to throb
with new life. From Cincinnati
there come glowing reports of
unusually liberal orders for

been arranged between striking
employees and the manufacturers.
This means that close to loo, 200
workers will be kept busy in this
line through the winter. The
Chicago printers find that bust
ness is picking up to such an ex-
tent that their tentative plan for
a five-day week has been aban-
doned, and nearly 1000 union
members are now finding steady
employment for six days a week
There are still other and more
general indications of the dawn
ing prosperity. The American
Railway associations report
shows that since August 1, over
sc, 200 idle freight cars have been
put to use, and the number OF
idle cars is now less than at
any time, with one short excep-
ton, since January 1. This is one
of the surest signs of big business
prosperity.
The huge western crops alone
assure us unprecedented prosper

Secretary OF War Garrison has rec

General. succeeding the late Brig. Gen.
George II. Torney. 1t is believed that
the President will approve this recon-

IL has been regarded as a foregone
conclusion that the appointment would
go TO Col. -Gorgas.- II he desired it. 1t
was thought possible that Col. Gorgas
might choose To devote himself 70 his
speciality OF tropical sanitation rather
than undertake the duties Of the office
OF the Surgeon General. There was only
one other presumptive candidate for the
position. Col Jefferson r. Kean. former
assistant to Gen Torney. Col. Kean
was considered for the position a year
ago, when President Taft reappoInted
Gen. Torney Surgeon General

of the army in June, 1855. and reached

A few days ago The Herald ventured
to suggest that Mr.. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan could be depended upon to do ex-
actly what is right with reference to
the will of Martha Washington, which,
it is claimed, is in his possession while
rightfully belonging in the courthouse
of Fairfax County, Va. Mr.. Morgan
has just returned to the Hon. Harriet
Phipps, seventy-three years old, who
was principal lady in waiting to Queen
Victoria, a number of jewels given to
her by the Queen and which she had
been compelled to part with some time
ago TO enable her to pay taxes. Mr..
Morgan wrote her letter explaining
that he had found them in his fathers
collection and wished to return them,
as he thought it a pity that they
should go out of her family. Among
the treasures was a locket with some
of Queen Victoria's hair on one side
and some of the prince consort's on
the other.
Miss Phipps never knew the name of
the purchaser until they were restored
TO her, and never met Mr.. Morgan or
his father.
Chivalry such as this was character
istic of the elder Morgan. 1t is leg
acy the son may we'll cherish.

A most extraordinary story comes
from Lafayette, Ind, where William G.
Moore has just been found guilty OF
cruelty to animals and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail The evidence
showed that Moore kept horse in a
dark barn for nearly twenty years
without letting it out, as revenge after
1t had killed his father in a runaway
accident Nearly every member of the
Lafayette Humane Society was present
at the trial and the society employed
counsel to assist in the prosecution OF
Moore Several witnesses testified that
the horse, with its hoofs a foot long,
was in a terrible condition when taken
from the Moore barn a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Moore, the mother of the con-
victed man, will next week be tried
on the same charge on which her son
was found guilty.
The human brain develops strange
kinks and from a distance it would ap-
pear that the Criminal Court was not
quite the proper tribunal TO judge the
strange case of this Indiana widow and
her son.

Forsisn View Of Our Youth.

In this age of children, when young
America is openly deplored, secretly
.envied, and sincerely wondered at, the
nice things which the English artist,
Carton Moorepark, has to say about
families he has seen in the United
States are singularly pleasing. Mr..
Moorepark finds the American child
perhaps the most gratifying of the
revelations" which he confesses he
has suffered since he has had an op-
portunity for intimate study of the
American family.
His praise is not exclusively of the
child. Father, of whom he had the con-
ventional European estimation, as of a
business machine that never removed
itself, from its place of monetary use
fulness until it had run down and had
to suspend for rest and fuel. he discov-
ers a very human individual who finds
the principal charm of life under his
own vine and fig tree, where he de-
votes to his wife and children the finest
and best that are in him. Mother, Mr..
Moorepark discovers, is not the money
spending. bridge-playing. clothes-mad
piece of shallowness that European
and even American-humorists have de-
lighted to depict h4. Mr.. Moorepark
finds that mother is person of charm
and sense who gives two years of her
life to her child where the English
mother gives one.
But the American child, the artist
finds, is a delightful surprise, whose
attributes can readily be traced to the
affectionate care bestowed upon him by
his parents. He is 100 per cent bet
ter behaved than l expected to find
him." Mr.. Moorepark states judicious-

Testimony regarding a dinner party

quarts of champagne were consumed and
the tango danced ad lib resulted. yes
terday, in a verdict of 500 for Maude
Chase, OF the Back Bay. against Andrew
J. Griffin, of Winthrop. a taxi starter at
the Hotel Somerset.
Miss Chase sued for 5000 charging as
sault on the part OF Griffin while the two
were members of separate dining parties
at the Pinehurst Club. in North Reading
in February OF last year. The assault
she said. occurred when Griffin refused
TO desist from eating her peas with his
fingers.
She testified that Griffin. who knew
her. came over from the adjoining table.
where he sat with two friends. and hit
her over the left ear. AS a result, she
had to have medical treatment.
Griffin denied the pea incident and
charged that Miss Chase, "hystericaIly
intoxicated" had tried to get around
one OF the men in his party.
He declared that instead OF striking
her he pushed her from a standing posi-
ton into her chair. She did not fall TO
the floor. he testified. He declared that
she was so affected. not by the incident
but by champagne, that she ran around
in circles in the yard and refused to go
home in the limousine
