Empty Mail Bags Sacred--Big Exports of Manufactures--General Carter on the Philippines, Fagle Bureau, 605 Fourteenth Street. Washingion, Reptember 2--A man about 35 years old walked briskly Into the office of the Panama Canal Commission the other day and asked for Secretary Dominic 1. Murphy. The stranger was full of business from herd to font, every motlen indicating a body charged with vital energy. Six feet tall, of athletic bulla, eleencut features and a keen ere, he made a profound Impression on the officials as well as on the messengers and clerks.

"Here is my card, sir." presenting a bit of pasteboard bearing the name H. L. Gurry and in the corner, in small type, "The Chinese Company." Diving Into another pocket, Gurry preduced a large SIR. package of letters of introduction, testimonials and credentials which proved that he was a trusted and important officer in the influential Chinese Company of Hongkong.

He had letters from Americans, as well as from Englishmen. Without losing a moment, Mr. Gurry went right to the subject in which he was interested. "The Chinese Company," he said, "wants to furnish the labor for constructing the 60,000 Chinamen All Ready. had experience at Chinese Company has this matter and is any American or foreign make proposal for canal.

Strict account has been kept of every cubic yard of dirt that has been removed and of all expense incident to excavating and disposing of it. Before the conmissioners pack up to leave for New York they will have a very fair knowledge of what it costs to dig along the route of the canal.

Not the smallest problem in this connection is the question of what to do with the excavated material. All the dirt that is shoveled out of the mountain side in digging the Culebra Cut has to be carted off some five miles and dumped into swamp lands and into deep gorges. The Culebra Cut, 80- called, extends over seven mile of mountainous country and millions and millions of cubic yards of dirt must be removed before it is completed. Consequently, it will be realized at once that it is something of a puzzle to know what to do with all the stuff.

Postmaster General Payne has decided that the time has arrived -to put an end to the appropriation of Uncle Sam's mail sacks for sundry household uses. He learned some time ago that certain thrifty housewives have been in the custom of converting old mail sacks into rugs, couch covers, curtains, potato bags and other useful and necessary articles. The United States postal regulations strictly probibit the use of mail bags for any purpose other than for carrying the mails. An eagle-eyed inspector spotted a citizen up in Juneau, Alaska, a few weeks ago, reclining luxuriantly in a home-made hammock, skillfully manufactured from old mail sacks.

The fact was reported to the local United States District Attorney, who had the offender brought up and fined $10. one of the most interesting documents of an official nature that has come from the archipelago in a long time.

B. A. VALUE IN OLD RUBBERS. Nearly Every Country in the World Sends Us Its Wornout Goloshes. Their Commercial Use.

Not one in a thousand New Yorkers is aware that one of the big industries of this country is the importation of old rubber shoes and goloshes. Yet it is a fact that these seemingly worthless discarded articles of footwear from nearly every country of the globe are daily coming into the country in huge quantities, carefully packed and stowed away as part of the valuable cargoes of the big Transatlantic liners. This importation has been going on for several years, and yet it has seemingly never attracted the attention of the alert chroniclers of interesting events, for the old shoes and goloshes have slipped into the country silently, hidden away on the manifests of the steamships and quickly sent to the consignees, who have eagerly paid the freight. Primarily, the cause for this strange industry is the ever-increasing demand for rubber in America, which has practically exhausted the South American rubber industry. Every year new uses have been found for the stretchable article.

A few years ago, when electricity was not in 80 general a use as it is to-day, the demand from electricians for rubber 'was not very heavy. Today, when every modern apartment house has electric light installation, the demand for rubber for insulation purposes is something enormous. The ever-increasing number of electrie traction routes, electric elevated railways, electric locomotives, electric elevators, have added to the demand for gutta-percha, and then came the automobiles, with their huge rubber tires, compared to which the rubber tires of the old bicycle is as nothing, and which brought demand for rubber far and away above the supply at hand. When the supply available from South America seemed to be getting seriously low, the rubber men got their heads together and caused it to be known in foreign countries that America was in the market for rubber, any kind of rubber, old, new or between and betwixt, as long as it was rubber. Immediatley every rag-picker in Europe began putting aside a space in his cellar for rubber shoes, discarded rubber coats, goloshes and broken rubber balls.

These were shipped separately to houses which began making it their business to gather nothing but old rubber, and finally the gathered rubber was sent in huge consignments to America, where it was eagerly snapped up. The old rubber shoes come in bales, thousands of them every week, for the home consumption of rubber in Europe is not onetenth of what it is in America, and they have an idea there that, rather than pay a stiff price for a rare article they can do without it. That is where they are different on this side of the Atlantic, for, the rarer the article gets to be, the more the American wants it. All the old rubber shoes are gathered and shipped to Liverpool, which is, 50 far, the only shipping point from which the rubber has come to this side, although most of the old shoes have come in on German steamers, WILL GO TO PROVIDENCE.

Mr. Spahr's death much the more readily understood. The death of Editor Spahr will recall newed attention to the intense mental strain to which some editors are subjected. Never before had we supposed that this burden so heavily upon compilers of monthly periodicals. The managing editor of a daily journal absolutely has to conceive a news every twenty-four hours or be cannot his TO job.

He managed to get home without assistance, as the car went within half a block of his flat. He staggered in, sank into a chair and frightened his wife half to death by exclaiming: "The strikers have shot me. Get a doctor!" The terrified woman began to ask ques. tions, and insisted on examining his trousers in the place where he said the bullet had hit him. The examination failed to disclose any hole.

A hurried look at the leg, though It showed a discolored and swollen surface at the point he declared the bullet had struck him, had no sign of a hole. However, he insisted that he had shot, and, as the pain continued to increase, the doctor was summoned. A8 soon as the physician saw the leg he tried to set the man's fears at rest. "I'm shot, doctor. I know I am," insisted the victim.

It was a long time before the doctor could convince him that what had actually happened was the rupture of small blood vessel in the calf of the leg. The act of stepping down in a hurry from the sidewalk to the street was the cause of the trouble, and the prompt measures taken by the doctor soon relieved the pain. But the doctor said it was one of the hardest jobs he had performed in some time to convince that man that he was not the victim of the strikers, and that there wasn't a bullet bedded somewhere in the fleshy part of his leg. The Snapper. I've angled for the porgie, which lurks in waters deep; I've trolled to catch the seabass.

many a time; I've hooked the eel so slippery that to touch him made me creep, And coaxed the toothsome flounder from the slime. But, though every kind of fishing is as good 88 it can be, To angle for the snapper is the kind of sport for me. He's a wary little beggar and he fools you o'er and o'er, By pulling down your dopper out of sight; He nibbles all your bait away and coolly waits for more, And rarely takes a good old-fashioned bite. But, when he does, just lose 110 time, but land him mighty quick, Or he'll surely get away from you, he's so all-fired slick. Sometimes he yearns for mummies, and at nothing else he'll rise, And again he scorns all bait but silver sides, You've got to watch his habits, finding out just how he lies, And what's his seeming preference as to tides.

Use scientific knowledge, but when all is said and done, It's luck that gets the snappu. and that's what makes the fun. Stories of the phenomenally high prices charged for meat during the strike are always being told. Nobody has yet ed, however, how a womb, sold last week, brought about $1 a pound. The lamb was not cut up to make chops and shoulders, but that will undoubtedly be his fate.

A tenderhearted butcher, loath to cut him off in the flower of his youth, got over the diffeulty by presenting him to a pretty girl who had charge of a booth at a church fair. A pen, or fold, or whatever lambs live in, was constructed for this infant who speedily became known to visitors 88 "Molly's little lamb." When the fair was in progress, he occupied the inclosure and received compliments of the most personal nature without turna daytime hair, or the rather lambkin a spear of gamboled wool. on In the church lawn, and there was rarely an hour but brought him a new circle of admirers. To sell this lamb at butchers' prices would have been a clear waste of opportunity, so he was put up to be drawn for. It is said he netted more than $50 and, as ho certainly weighed no more pounds, he will make in the near future rather expensive eating.

The lamb was drawn by one of the patrons of A -ummer hotel, and it 18 quite likely will figure on the table of the establishment, unless a barbecue can be arranged, a plan which seems to commend itself to some of the young folks.

The value of the exports of manufactures in that period was the largest in the history of our commerce, and during the last three months of the year they exceeded the value of agricultural products exported, which is regarded as phenomenal. These and other interesting facts appear in a statement that has just been prepared by Secretary Metcalf, showing the growth in the exports of principal manufactured articles from 1870 to a 1904, and the increase Big Exports cf Manufactures.

in importance of materials for use in manufacturing during the same period. The statement divides the manufactures into ten great groups, which form, it says, about 80 per cent. of the total value the manufactures exported. These ten groups are iron and steel, mineral oils, copper, agricultural implements, wood manufactures, chemicals, drugs and dyes, leather and manufactures thereof, cotton manufactures, paraffin and paper and manufactures thereof. Iron and steel shows the largest total, being in round terms mineral oils.

copper, leather, agricultural implements, chemicals, wood manufactures, nearly paraffin, over $8,000,000, and paper, over $7,009,000. Iron and steel and copper show the most remarkable growth during the period of thirty-four years, the growth of iron and steel having been from $13,000,000 in 1870. to 948,586 in 1904, and copper, from $500,000 in 1870 to $57,000.000 in 1904. Mineral oils increased from $30.000,000 to $72,000,000 during the same period; leather, from less than $1,000,000 to over cotton manufactures, from less than $1,000.000 to agricultural implements, from $1,000,000 to over $22,000,000. These ten articles or groups of articles form about 80 per cent.

of the total manufactures exported. In 1870 their total amounted to less than $60.000.000, and in 1904 amounted to about $363.000,000. Copper shows a remarkable growth, especially during the last decade. From 1870 to 1893 the exportations of copper were small, seldom exceeding $5,000.000. In 1894, however, there was an increase to practically 000; by 1898 the total excecded by 1900 it was over $50,000.000, and in the fiscal year 1904 was over $57.000,000, as compared with $504,741 in 1870.

Leather manufactures also show a marked gain, having been but $673,331 in 1870 and $33.980,615 in 1904. Equally interesting with the growth in exportation of manufactures is the growth in importation of foreign material required for use in manufacturing, Curiously manufacturers materials imported in 1904 are almost identical in value with finished manufactures exported. The raw materials imported for use in manufacturing in 1904 amounted to $321,000,000, and the partially manufactured materials for use in manufacturing amounted to $136.000,000, making a total of $457.000,000 of manufacturers materials imported, as against $452.000,000 worth of finished manufactures exported. These manufacturers ma. terials include raw silk, fibers, india rubber, hides and skins, furs and fur skins, chemicals, drugs and dyes, wool, cotton, wood, tin and iron and steel, and sundry other articles in a partially manufactured state.

A table showing the ten groups of manufacturers materials, which form about 90 per cent. of the raw material imported for use in manufacturing, is published by the Bureau of Statistics. It shows that the importations of Obera have increased from $6.000.000 in 1870 to $38.000,000 in 1004; silk, from 000 to india rubber, from 000 to hides, from $14,000,000 10 chemicals, from $20.500,600 to $65.000.000. and wool, from $5,500,600 to 500.000.
