Old Soldier Take Notice. The Auditor of the War Department las Just Issued the following circular: The act of March 4, 1907, applies to soldiers of the Civil war only and makes no provision for the payment of any bounty other than that prevfously authorized by law. It doe3 not authorize the payment of any new bounty. Nearly all soldiers, or their heirs, have already received all bounty due under existing laws. The following cases only are affected by this act: 1. Where additional bounty under the act of July 2S, 1SCC, has been denied because It was not claimed before July 2, 1SS0, it may now be allowed. This bounty is not due in any case where the soldier has received more than $100 bounty altogether for all his Eervices, and is never allowed to any but two or three years' men. It is not payable to a soldier discharged before he has served two years to accept promotion, or for a disability other than wound3 received in service and in line of duty, or to drafted men or substitutes. 2. Where a soldier received an adTance installment of the $300 recruit bounty, or of the $400 veteran bounty and was required to refund, or pay back $23 of that advance installment because he was discharged by promotion, or otherwise before a service of two years as an enlisted man, said $25 may be allowed. This law does not apply to sailers jrho served in the navy only. In all letters to the Auditor's office the full name of the soldier and each company and regiment In which he served, with the dates of enlistments and discharge as near as can be given, should be stated. If the soldier Is dead the relationship of the nearest of kin should also be given. Xxrreaalaff Par -of Itnral Mall Carriers. A dispach from Washington, D. C, says: The basis of distributing the 16,000,000 increase in the Ealaries of rural free delivery carriers provided for at the last session of Congress, has nearly been completed by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw, and will result In individual Increases of from 9 to 24 per cent. In the pay of snch carriers. The increase is based on the number of miles traveled by rural carriers. Those traversing twen-ty-four miles will receiYe the maximum salary of $900 a year. Senator Foraker'g Brother Dead. James R. Foraker, brother of United States Senator J. B. Foraker, died at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, of cancer from which he has suffered for a long time. A few months ago he was a patient in a Philadelphia hospital, where he underwent several operaiions in the hope of finding relief, but his physicians finally gave up hope and he has been expecting the end for several weeks. Wreck on the G. R. A I. Two day coaches, one baggage car and the tender of passenger train No. 1 of the Grand Rapid3 & Indiana road left the rails on the curve one mile south of CoIIett, Ind., and about twenty of the passengers were Injured, none fatally. The cause of the wreck is thought to have been the spreading of the rails. Texas Storm Dent r or Town. A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas, says one village is totally destroyed, extensive damage done to property and crops at other points and eight lives are known to have been lost as a result of a storm which was general over that State.

eeig:i of terror e:ids.

Wholesale Prosecution of Conspirators Begun in Pennsylvania. More than a score of foreigners, charged with being members of the "Black Iland" and responsible for a large number of crimes in that vicinity, were place! on trial :n Wilkesbarre, Pa. Thirteen cases of shooting with attempt to kill, thirteen of cun.piniey, six of dynamiting and two of robbery by threats and menaces are charged against the men who are alleged to be the leaders of the "Black Hand." Hundreds of foreign families in that section have lived in a state border ing on terror as a result of threats made by this mysterious organization, which in many cases have been followed up with murder. The Pennsylvania constabulary has given much attention to the Blacs Hand." The men on trial were arrested in February at the instance of District Attorney Salsburg. Twenty-six men were captured, and oil but two, who were re leased, were held without bail for trial. The men who exposed the personnel of the society are Charles Salvatorc and Joseph Ritz of Browntown. The perse cution of these men began early last year, when a letter was slipped under their door demanding $000 unless the entire Ritz family desired to be annihilated. TAXK ETJRSTS, CAUSING PANIC. Sportsmen's Show at Pittsburg Starts With Exciting Accident. Just five minutes after the first annual sportsmen's show opened in rittsburg Wednesday night at the Duquesne parden a h?ge tank which was to be used for the water sports burst and 100.000 hall. There were several hundred visitors present, and these, panic-stricken, succeeded in reaching the promenade of the garden, which is about ten feet higher than the floor space. Had the accident occurred half an hour later, when the spectators would have numbered thou sands, the result would have been seri ous. That those present were not injured is considered miraculous. In their rush for places of safety many were knocked down and trampled. Leading to the promenade are a dozen or more steps and it was here that the panic assumed serious proportions. Thirty cages of wild ani mals from the Highland Park zoo and a number of State and government ex hibits valued nt many thousands of dol lars were tared by employes of the build ing. FIRE CAUSES BIG PANIC. Many Carried from Burning Build ings Watchman'3 Fatal Leap. Screes of nanic. in which one man was fatallr ht?rf- .inil t i ro. worA Kllfrhtlv in jured, attended a fire which destroyed the six-story pickle factory of the ilI in m II. Ttiin' Pnmnnnr T1 t n RTL Tort h Ann street, Chicago. Four surrounding Structures wen attacked hv the flames and the panic among the scores of occu pants of the buildings spread to other families and a fear-stricken exodus of householders followed. Many of the occupants of the buildings were assisted from their homes by policemen and firemen, some having been overcome by smoke. John Wasaska, 42 years old, a watchman in the Bunge pickling plant, was hemmed in by flames on the fourth ßoor. and tn csrario the tiylitpnin? rin? of fire he leaped from a window. He suffered injuries which physicians at the county hospital say will cause his death. The loss on the building of the Bunge company will amount to more than $75,000. FILIPINOS HAVE OWN STAMPS. Government Adopts Distinctive Se ries for the Islands. The Philippine government has adopt ed for the use of its postal service a dis tinctive series of postage stamps, which were prepared by the bureau of engraving and printing. The values and colors of tnese stamps correspond to those of the Lnited States postal service, and there are the same number of stamps in the series, but the denominations are expressed in pesos and centavos to conform to the new currency system of the islands. The designs are also different. The por traits of Rizal, the Filipino patriot, Mc Kinley. Magellan, Legaspi, Lawton, Lin coln, Sampson, Washington, Carriedo and Franklin appear on the stamps of less than one peso, and those of one peso or more bear the coat of arms of the Philippines. FACTI0XS RIOT IN CHURCH. Dispute Over New Preacher Starts a General Fist Fight A faction opposin? their pastor. Rev. Freeman Chase, nnda an attempt to depose him and held services with another minister and caused a riot in the Free Will Baptist church in Portsmouth, Ohio, Sunday. The followers of the different factions came to blows, women fainted and others fled screaming into the streets. When the police authorities were appealed to they refused to interfere. Order was finally restored by the new minister and elders withdrawing. A majority of the church officers are opposed to Chase, who has withdrawn from the conference and has been conducting the church independently. Arrest in Marvin Case. Frank II. Butler, a deckhand on the steamer John P. Wilson, was taken into custody, charged with the murder of Horace N. Marvin, the 4-year-old son of Dr. Marvin, whose disappearance March 4 near Dover, Del., ha3 aroused the entire country. The theory of the detectives is that the boy was murdered or accidentally killed. Man with 17 Wives Taken. Dr. John Carver, with several aliases and at least seventeen wives, was captured by Calhoun county (Mich.) officers in Fort Smith, Ark. Carver is said to have defrauded his wives out of a total of $150,000. The specific charge on which he was arrested was defrauding Mrs. Lola Davis of Battle Creek of $25,000. Bogus Lord Is to Hang. Frederick Seymour, alias "Lord" Barrington, hau lost his last hope of escaping the death penalty. The United States Supreme Court dismissed the criminal case of Seymour, who is under the death sentence in St. Louis on the charge of having murdered James P. McCann in that city in June, 1003. Suicide Auditor Short $20,000. Experts reported to the prosecuting attorney at Mount Vernon, Wash., that the total shortage in the office of Fred Blumberg, auditor of Skagit county, exceeds $20,000.

P., seizing about $1,000 worth of whisk'. beer, brandy and wine. The local author ities are determined on a strict enforce ment of the prohibition law. Several ar rests for bootlegging have already been made and this raid disclosed the fact that this out-of-the-way cave in the sidtf hill south of the city has long been used as a storehouse for intoxicating liquors. The door was doubly padlocked and entrance was effected only by tunneling under the strongly barred door. For.? wagons were required to haul the liquor to the capital building, where it was securely locked in the State strong box. The owners of the goods have not been located. FOURTEEN SINK WITH SHIP. Owner and Wife Go Down with, the Barge Arcadia. The wooden lumber barge Arcadia, which left Manistee, Mich., on April 12 for Two Rivers, undoubtedly has been lost in Late Mich-r-nn. ivirh its enntain and owner, Harry May, and his wife and twelve other persons. Marine men have iven the vessel up as lost and would not be surprised to hear that the wreck was caused by a boiler explosion. Some hold the theory that it went down as the result of the big storm of April 14. The boat has not been heard from since it left Manistee. Wreckage has been found along the beach from Pentwater north to Little Point Sauble, and part of it has been identified as the cargo of the lost craft. Portions of its cabins and bul warks also have been found- The Arca dia was a wooden steamer 110 feet in length. 2G feet beam, and 9 feet draft, registering 230 tons, aud was built in Milwaukee in 1SS8. UTOPIAN COLONY WIPED OUT. Court Orders Property of Community to Be Sold for Debt. "Equality," a socialistic colony estabIfched in 1807 near Ilellicgham, Wash., and which for years was pointed to as a successful experiment in collective ownership and production, was wiped out of existence by a court order, Judge Joyncr of Skagit county directing that its prop erty be Mld to pay the colony's debts. The property consists of Wj0 acres of land, a sawmill, a printing plant and twenty dwellings.

AMAZES THE WORLD.

Engineering Activity In New York Is the Cireatest liver. Probably never before in the history of he world has there been in progress at ane time such a stupendous amount of building and public improvement as that by which New York is now Icing transformed. There are now under way in Xew York engineering projects whose alue is $344,000.000, and contracts have een authorized but not yet let for $105,XiO.000 move work. This does not inrlude the expenditure annually of $.',- '00,(1(0 to improve the water supply, for rhkh an aggregate expenditure of $102,0.000 has been planned. The following table gives the details: Work. Estimated Cost. Tonnsvlvacla tunnels and terminals $100,000,000 .ludson Companies tunnels, subways and terminal New York Central terminals and electrification Dattery tanceis and subway extension New York and Long Island tun- . eels .. .

There was about $40,000,000 worth of building done in New York last year for otSce and factory buildings alone. It is safe to say that from $10,000.000 to $15.000,000 of thru work required the services of expert engineers. There is probably more work of that kind going on this year than last. So it may be said that besides the $011,000,000 already mentioned there is fully $14.0O j.(KX) more of engineering work going on. making a grand total of $025,(MX.(Ht0 worth of construction in connection with transportation and building already under way or provided for in and around New York which may be described properly as great engineering projects. This sum of $02.".000000 may be termed a fact established, but there are other vast projects still in the stage of contemplation more tunnels and bridges and buildings, some of which undoubtedly will be constructed in the not distant future, which will amount to from $200,OOOiOO to $300.0(10.000 more. The above outline of large operations in progress does not refer to the new buildings which will be erected, except the tunnel and railway terminals. Mammoth hotels, apartment houses, stores, theaters, etc., must be added to the list if anything like a complete idea of the construction work in New York is to be obtained. New York City's reat project for securing a water supply from the Catskills will cost about $102,000.000. That project means the construction of enormous dams in half a dozen different valley, the wiping out of many settlements, the construction of a long system of tunnels and pumping stations, including the tunnel under the Hudson river, the erection of gates and the distribution of the water in the city. It is the largest undertaking of the kind the world has ever known. This water supply for New York is a far greater enterprise than the Panama canal in the engineering problems and even in the money outlay. There are also private engineering problems going on in New York which reach into the million.'. Many of these have to do with the construction of great buildings. Journeymen tailors at Talo Alto, Cal., have organized. In several States the machinists' unions hare increased nearly OOO pr cent in membership during the last year. Fourteen new unions have affiliated with the Minnesota State Federation of Labor since the beginning of the year, and five applications are pending. San Francisco (Cal.) union men affiliated with the iron trades council have voted to strike May 1. Over G.'KX) men are involved. They demand an eight-hour day. Chicago (111.) elevator men have been negotiating with the building managers for an increase of $10 a month' in wages and the matter has been submitted to arbitration. During the twenty-one years of the existence of the United Hatters of North America they have used 270,000,000 labels. Last year the union hatters made nearly 30,000,000 hats. A new wage scale increasing the wages of the union barbers of Oakland, Cal., is under discussion between the bosses and tl e employes. The wages will be arranged upon a tliding scale. The International Union of Bill Posters and Billers have articles of agreement with all circuses and outdoor shows, through which all bill posting and billing will be done by union men. The Musicians' Union of Cincinnati, Ohio, is in a tangle with the Cincinnati Orchestra Association. The main cause of the trouble is over the desire of the association to draw cn European txlent to the detriment of ausicians in this country. Many members of the United Association of Pumbcrs, Gas Fitteza and Steam Fitters are urging that the conization establish a home for the aged and infirm, along the same lines as the typos. At a meeting held in New York recently it was announced that arrangements are being made for the formation of a permanent organization in favor of abolition of child labor. It was stated that the movement was national, and hope was expressed that the organization would sücceed in arousing public sentiment, without which legislation will be of no use. Record figures are presented in the last quarterly report of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers of England. Its reserve funds now amount to 728.937, and during the last three months its membership has risen from 102,800 to 1O4.S80. The society has never been so prosperous in its history. St. Paul (Minn.) tailors, who have been affiliated with an "independent" union for a long time, have concluded to become a "regular" organization. A committee from the Minneapolis union has been conferring with the St. Paul men. and it is announced that the change will be made soon. Chicago (111.) electricians wish a scale of $5 a day, an increase of 50 cents a day over their present scale. They do not mrke any agreements with employers. T'iey set their own working rules, and they have had no trouble in enforcing them for sever 1 years. Chicago (111.) machinists propose to raise a defense fund of $20,000 in the local district to meet any strike emergency that may arise. Each member at work will be assessed $1 a week during the four weeks of this month, and in case of a strike this fund will be used for emergency purposes, outside of the regular benefits paid by the international organization.

BIG PAIR IS NOW ON.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. eIdcnt Prec Gold Rutton, Deliver Addre.s nml Ilcvlew Masntflcent Naval I'ageact Amid Tliundcroaa Saluten. The exposition opened Friday by President Roosevelt on the shores of Hampton Roads, amid the salutes of cannon from nearly 100 war ships and in the presence of numerous ollk-ials and diplomats representing our own and foreign govern men ts should have an interest for Americans second to none attaching: to any former national exhibition in our history. The Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition commemorates the SOOth anniversary of the first permanent English-speaking colony in America, and, besides, interest in It should be great because of the many historic associations of the surroundingterritory. The soil adjacent has been the scene of more bloody battles diirins the Revolutionary War, the war of 1S12 and the Civil War than any other part of America. Yorktown and Appomattox are close by. Guns from the war ships of five great nations voiced a salute In unison T BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF TUE to the American flag and to the President of the United States at the opening of the Jamestown exposition. The boom of the cannon sounded over the waters of Hampton Roads, where nearly half a century ago the Monitor and the Merrimac met in the memorable conflict which brought Into being the armored craft of war. From the "little 'Yankee cheesebox set upon a raft" and the rectangular mass of iron which carried the Confed erate Hag in 1S02 to the modern fighting machines typified by the flower of the American navy is a far ery. Y'et many of those who stood on the shore and jsaw the naval pageant in the road stead recalled the day when the waters which form the rendezvous of great war vessels were splashing with the shot and shell of the first battle of steel-clad ships. From the bridge of the Mayflower, :-;-v-.;:-;,v;.- : -v ' 0 HISTORIC EU'OT ?EAIt J.XAIESTOWX. whose decks were the meeting place of the peace plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan less than two years ago, President Roosevelt reviewed the great assemblage of flag-draped fighters. Steaming down the long column the President was greeted by each vessel with a salute of twenty-cue guns. Ceremony liesuii nt Snnrine. At sunrise the opening ceremonies were begun by the United States artillery, which fired a salute of 300 guns. The Freslilont reached Discovery LandWHERE THE JAMESTOWN iug shortly before noon, and amid applause from the thousands gathered to extend their welcome he was received by the exposition management Then followed the program opening to the public the enterprise commemorating the three hundredth anniversary ol the first . English settlement in America. The exercises Included an address by Harry Kt. George Tucker, president of the exposition, and one by President Roosevelt, singing by the exposition chorus of 700 voices, the pressing of a gold button by Mr. Roosevelt, which marked the formal opening, and a review of the assembled military forces. The FIrt Settlement. It was in the year 1007 that three small vessels which had sailed from London on the 19th day of the preceding December entered the broad waters of the James river. These were the Susan Constant of 1(H) tons, the Godspeed of 40 Ilryee on Public Ownership. In speaking at the dinner of the Chicago Commercial Club, James Brycc, the British ambassador, discussed nt some length the functions of modern cities, placing them in three distinct classes. One class, he said, included those functions which are vital and indispensable because the individual citizen cannot excrcise them for himself, giving the maintenance of public safety, or police department, as an instance. The second class was that of functions which might be left to individuals or large corporations, such as are in England called public companies. These would include the

tons rind the Discovery of 20 tons, commanded respectively by Christopher Newport, Bartholomew Gosnohl and John Rateliffe. In this fleet were 105 men besides the crews. They had already landed a few days before upon a sandy point which they named Cape Ilnry, after the then Prince of Wales. Captain John Smith, destined to play an important vole in our colonial history, was at this time in irons on board the Constant as a result of dissensions which had arisen while the little fleet delayed in the West Indies. On entering the James they hoped they had found a water way which, in accordance with their instruc-: lions, they were seeking that would afford them an entrance into the south sea Thirty miles upstream above Newport News and on the northerly side of the river the explorers came upon a peninsula some three miles long by one and a quarter wide at its greatest width. It extended in a southeasterly direction and at its northeastern end it was joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus. The river is here three miles in width. What was then a peninsula is now an island, the river having cut a channel through the narrow isthmus, w hich , at present is about a quarter of a mile wide and is spanned by a bridge. .It is in commemoration of the settlement of this island and the marvelous progress made in the intervening 000 years that the present exposition is being held. The exposition is not located on the site of the original settlement, but on the southern shora of Hampton Roads the finest land-locked body of water in the world. Site of the Shoir. The exposition site comprises about

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. 500 acres, which are beautifully laid out. The exposition buildings proper consist of 25 structures, among them being an auditorium and convention hall, 100x230 feet, having wings 02 feet long, and an auditorium OlxiH feet, with a seating capacity of about 3,000; a palace of manufactures and liberal arts, 2S0x550 feet; a palace of machinery and transportation. 2SOx550 feet; a States' exhibit palace, 300x500 feet ; a mining and metallurgy building, 100x250 feet; a hygienic and medical building. 100x250 feet; a pure food building, 90x300 feet; a palace of history and historic arts, 124x120 feet, and an education building, 124x120 feet ' Besides these are what is known as are arts and crafts village, which con sists of seven cottages of colonial archi tecture. These are the textile buildings. 53xSS feet ; copper, silver and woodworkers' shops, 44x137 feet; pottery shops, 48x50 feet; iron shops. 48x50 feet; model school, 35x45 feet, with a model school room 20x52 feet; mothers and children's building, GOxlOO feet, and Pocahontas hospital, 50xSO feet. Most of the States have made appropriations or otherwise provided for build ings and exhibits. Some of them have reproduced, with fidelity some famous building conm?cted with their history. Pennsylvania, for instance, has raised a secouj Independence Hall. Massachusetts its old State House; Maryland has reproduced the home of Charles Carroll of Carrollton ; Georgia has erected a second Rullock Hall, the home of the mother of President Roosevelt. In every instance the State buildings are characteristic. Four of the Western States. Washing ton, Oregon. Idaho and Montana, have jointly erected a gigantic building in the form of a maltese cross, each State to occupy a section. Even Oklahoma, the last State to enter the sisterhood, has erected a suitable building. Among the foreign countries which take official part in the celebration are Great Britain, Gcrmanj, Russia, France, Japan, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Greece of the eastern hemisphere and Brazil, Argentina. Veoez uela, Mexico, Chile, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico, Salvador, Peru, Guatemala, ' . .. j. .-. -J SETTLERS FIRST LANDED. Nicaragua, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Panama of the western hemisphere. The naval features of the exhibition will be the greatest and most impressive ever witnessed.

CHICAGO. Spring activity exhibits proportions hitheito not exceeded in production, trans portation of products and new demand. The leading industries maintain their un precedented outputs and improving money conditions are a favorable factor in the outlook. Mercantile collections throughout the West remain romarkably prompt and, despite the clearness of discounts which has prevailed, trading defaults still compare . quite favorably with those of a year ago. Retail trade here and in the country is steady, but requires rising temjH ratare to stimulate the : movement of seasonable goods. Wholesale dealings in staple merchandise reflect confident buying for 'fall shipment, tie consignments making a gratifying aggregate in textiles, boots and shoes, clothing and food products. Bank clearings. $230.428.S00, exceed those of corresponding week in RKW by 14.4 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago district number 10, against 17 itist week and 20 a 3-ear ago. Dun's Review of Trade. NEW YORK. Weather conditions this week, as for nearly a month past, have been a bar to retail trade activity and to seasonable crop development throughout a wide area. In jobbing and wholesale trade anes filling in orders are in smaller volume than expected, but business as a whole i good for a between seasons period. There is still a marked scarcity of goocls needed for prompt delivery and much cross buying between different jobbers and sections of country. In manufacturing lines the story is one of filled order books and of backward deliveries. Collections improved in spots and this tendency is apt to gain with favorable weather. The labor situation is one of great strength. Strikes are notably few for a May 1 period, and while railroad retrenchment makes for a larger supply of unskilled labor, the skilled branches are very well employed. Business failures in the United States for the wirk ending April 25 number 157, against 107 last week and 177 in the like week of 1000. Canadian failures for the week number 23, against IS last week and 22 in this week a year ago.
