From Public Opinion. J. PI Tilt, the president of a shoe-making company in Chicago, is planning what he hopes will be an ideal town at Endicott, X. Y., on the Susquehanna river. The company will not control the stores, the franchises or the privileges. It will sell Ihe cottages to its employes without re rfrfctlons. It has contracted for the ex penditure of nearly $.'$.?MXJOOO for city im provements, parks, hall grounds and fine streets lined with shade trees, and it ex pects to begin manufacturing next Sep tember with 2.?iO employes. There is no philanthropy in all this, Mr. Tilt says, -timself a shoemaker, who has risen from the bench, he thinks he understands the workingmen and their needs. These needs or "rights." as Mr Tilt calls them, are p*-ace of mind, self-respect and liberty. Young Doctors and Lmvyers. Uroin the New York Tribune. Medical Journals are puzzling over the problem of finding patients for the thou sands of fledgling doctors who are now graduated year after year and are begin ning practice. The professions of law and of medicine are already overcrowded. Of course, there is room at the top, but the lower rungs of the ladder are beset by a throng of young men who are trampling upon each other in their eagerness to get a foothold. In American towns and villages the office signs of physicians are overplen tiful already, and attorneys are so multi tudinous that the prospect of their secur ing clients enough to keep them occupied is anything but encouraging. The outlook for a considerable percentage of the gradu ates of our schools of medicine and of law cannot be looked upon as radiant. Many of them must Inevitably pass through years of hardship before they attain suc cess. Golf Talk. ?i?b tba Duluth News.

PERMANENT OFFICERS ELECTED Management of International Ma ! chinists' Association Criticised. THE NAME ADOPTED In response to a call which had been I signed by 300 Washington navy yard em j plnyes a meeting was held in MeCauley's I Hall last night and an association formed I which is intended to bring together the navy yard and arsenal employes through out the country. The Navy Yard Em ployes" Protective Association was chosen as a name for the new organization, with the understanding that the word "arsenal should be added as soon as arsenal em ployes are represented. The navy yard machinists were the prime movers, both in originating the plan and in perfecting the organization. It was evi dent from the explanations made on the lloor of the hall after the meeting had been called to order that there is general and growing dissatisfaction regarding the man agement of the International Association of Machinists. The name of James O'Con nell. national president of that organiza tion, was mentioned* several times by dif ferent speakers, and his conduct of the present strike for the nine-hour day was severely criticised. Each one of these speakers, however, de clared himself to be thoroughly in harmony with the principles of the machinists' as sociation. but each pointed out that me chanics in the employ of the government had special interests in the way of legisla tion which needed united action. In this connection it was mentioned that both Mr. O'Connell and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, op posed the fifteen days' leave bill of navy yard and arsenal employes, passed at the last session of Congress, on the ground that it was interfering with the eight-hour bill, which was being pushed by the federa tion. Inereaxe In Pay and Privileges. John Simering, who called the meeting to order, declared in his opening remarks that the mechanics in the navy yards and arsenals ought not to rest until they had not only thirty days of annual leave, but thirty days of sick leave as well, and an increase in pay to $4 a day. Mr. Simering was elected temporary chairman, and Henry W. Miller temporary secretary. Thtre were between eighty and 1<H) men present, and the opening remarks of Mr. Simering were heartily applauded. What was needed, he said, was an organi zation which would make navy yard and arsenal employes independent of the ma chinists' organization. An order that would include not only the machinists, but all other classes of mechanics, helpers and laborers. He suggested that if thought best the new order could become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Simering was followed by Mr. Miller, who said the machinists in the employ of the government were being heavily taxed to support officers of the international as sociation in luxurv. He declared that the recent convention of the association held | in Toronto, Canada, had cost $7,000, while during the month of June but $2,000 was spent by these same officers for the support of the strikers. Permanent Offioers Eleeted. The work of forming a permanent organi zation was then proceeded with. W. A. Craig was elected president. Mr. Craig is a machinist, but not a member of the ma chinists' association. He said, on taking the chair, that he was heartily in favor of the objects of the new order. Charles Wa termever was elected vice president; Henry W. Miller, recording secretary; E. S. Mor gan, financial secretary, and C. Stanley Klein, treasurer. The office of past presi dent was created and John Simering unani mously elected to the office. A committee on name and by-laws was appointed, consisting of Wm. J. Betts, Frank De Group and Seaton G. Gorman. This committee reported the name, "Navy Yard Employes' Protective Association," with the conditions as to the word arsenal, as stated, which was adopted. A large number of those present signed the roll, but it was decided that until the , by-laws should be prepared no one should j be bound as members. In answer to ques tions on the subject, it was brought out that the membership of machinists in the machinists' association would not be affect ed by joining the new organization. An adjournment was taken for two weeks to allow the committee on by-laws time to prepare a report. FAIR TOMGHT. Saturday Generally Fair: Probably Ha in and Cooler at Might.

It probabiy means Tesla's leaving the field of experi ment and theory and entering the commer cial field with his inventions. It is likely that Wardenclyffe will become as famcus an electrical capital as Edson's place at Orange, N. J. Tesla's purchase of acres, and the contract he has clo.-ed calls for works, the main building of which is to be 100 feet square. The initial cost of construction will be about $130,000. In the neighborhood of Wardenclyffe the new electrical plant is referred to as the prin cipal station for Tesla's wireless telegraph system, soon to.become a common method of cpmmunication. It is known that be sides the electrical works there is to le erected on the land a wonderful electrical laboratory and experimental station. One of his first productions will probably be a system of electrical illumination by dif fused lights. Senator Scott and His Hanna Boom. United States Senator N. W. Scott of West Virginia came to town this week with a new Hanna presidential boom. While at the Fifth Avenue Hotel he un loaded it on the politicians and reporters. According to the West Virginia statesman, Senator Fairbanks is the most-talked-about man In the middle west. Vice President Roosevelt In the far west and Senator Hanna all over the country. "From a long association with Senator Hanna," said Senator Scott,, "I am convinced that if the republicans nominate him he will tie elect ed by a very large majority. And if elected he would make the most conserv tive and business-like President we have ever had. Out west the politicians are al ready beginning to speculate upon the suc cessor of President McKinley. There Is a great deal more interest over the matter than there is in the east." To Tent Cinttininnii'ft SliellM. It is stated among the ordnance people here that it is not probable that the Gath mann shell, for the testing of which Con gress appropriated about $50,000, will be tested before Congress meets, though every effort is being made to have the target constructed by the first of November. The plan for the test was adopted by a board composed of army and navy officers, it being decided that a huge target resembling in every way the modern battle ship should be floated off Sandy Hook, and that one of the huge Gathmann shells should be flred at it from the shore. The inventor of the shell claims that he can demolish the target with one shot, even though it be of iron and armor clad. Accordingly a tar get has been designed which is to have the weight of a battle ship with the same re sisting qualities. It is to be covered with armor the same as a battle ship, and it is in this that the delay has occurred. The target is nearly all completed, except some minor parts, but the armor will hardly be ready for delivery before the latter part of October, so that it is almost certain to take until some time in November to com plete the construction of the target. Society MnrrinBe Annonnced. The engagement is just announced of Miss Nelly Harges, the youngest daughter of Mr. John H. Harges of Paris, to Mr. Lion Gardiner, the oldest son of Mr. John Lyon Gardiner of Gardiner's Island, L. I. The wedding will be celebrated in Paris probably before the end of the season. Miss Harges, who is a very pretty and talented girl, wa? born in France. She is well known in society, having been introduced here at a large dinner and dance given in her honor, by Mrs. J. Hood Wright, several winters ago. Her last visit to New York was made in the spring of this year, when she visited the parents of Mr. Gardiner at Gardiner's Island. Mr. Gardiner, who is now in France, was born in Germany and educated for the most part at St. Paul's school. He recently entered Princeton Un iversity. The Qnene In Not Yet Doomeil. The information that an edict promul gated by the Chinese Reform Association of San Francisco, by which Chinamen in this country were to remove their queues is accepted by Chinatown with a very large pinch of salt. The Chinese Reform Asso ciation has little hold in Mott street for one thing, and in these later days the Chinaman retains his queue or chops it off largely as his fancy dictates. "Some one has been talking with'out reason," said Tom Lee, the Chinese deputy sheriff. "There is no chance of many queues coming off around here. If a Chinaman chooses to re move his queue, why, it's all right. It would not be at this time any hindrance to his returning to China." Boyd'* and Vicinity. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOYD'S, Md.. August 8, 1901. A number of arrests were made by Act ing Constable E. S. Emerson, and the par ties were brought before Justice Norris here yesterday and tried on charges of dis turbing the public peace and also with housebreaking. All of the parties were col ored, and all but one were heavily fined. The prisoners were Henry Wallace, dis turbing peace, fined $7.70, and acquitted of the charge of being accessory to house breaking; Frank Wallace, tried and ac quitted; George Wallace, disturbing peace, fined $7.70, and held in the sum of $100 for the action of the grand jury for house breaking, bond being given; Harry Russell, disturbing peace, two cases, aggregate fines. $12.40. All the fines were paid. The charge of housebreaking was sworn out by William Warfield, a merchant at Slidell, this county, who claimed that George Wal lace broke in the door after being warned to go away. Wallace claimed that his wife was on the Inside and he wanted her let out. It was proved that Wallace was told to go away, and that no one was on the in side but Warfield. The fracas occurred Saturday night last at the store in which the Rosenteins met their awful death at the hands of Brown and Taylor, three years ago. Frank Carlin of this vicinity, who was riding his horse at full speed up the county road last night, near this place, ran Into the front wheels of the buggy in which Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Kingsbury were riding, throwing Mrs. Kingsbury out of the buggy. She alighted on her head and the wheels of the buggy passed over her body, badly bruising her. Mr. Kingsbury saw the horse and rider coming, and turned as far out of the road as he could, but the young man apparently did not see them, and the horse struck the buggy squarely, nearly overturning it. It is understood Mrs. Kingsbury is confined to her bed as a re sult of the shock. Mrs, Rachel Simpers of Germantown, this county, died of consumption at the resi dence of her son. Dr. I. N. Simpers, there yesterday morning, after a lingering ill ness. Mrs. Simpers was formerly a resi dent of Manchester, Carroll county. She was sixty-eight years old. Dr. Simpers, her son. and a daughter, Miss Emma Simpers, survive her. Her remains will be sent to Manchester over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tomorrow for interment beside the remains of her late husband. Thomas Dolage, colored, twenty-four years old, who lives at Landover, Md., Was taken Bick while on a street car near H and North Capitol streets about 11 o'clock this morning and was removed to Emergency Hospital.

Interesting sidelights on New York's po lice force; how a wardman's friends were surprised and two detectives lost a chance to make a pot of money. The Billboard Salts. From the Chicago Tribune. On July 9, 1000, an ordinance was passed forbidding billboards in the city above ten feet in height, or of more than 100 square feet in area, or nearer than twenty-five feet to the street, or closer than five feet to each other. Such boards, too, if containing more than twelve feet in area, were re quired to be made of incombustible ma terials, and they were forbidden on boule vards altogether and on residence streets except on written consent of three-fourths of the residents of the block on which erected. On January 21 last an ordinance was also passed forbidding all signboards "exceeding three feet square" "within 2<X) feet of any park, park boulevard, or drive way." Suits were begun to enjoin the enforce ment of both ordinances, and pending the determination of the merits of the Issues the city consented to suspend enforcement. Both cases were referred to the same mas ter in chancery, the testimony in the last of the two was finished on Wednesday, the arguments of counsel will be heard next week, and findings will then be in order. This recital will explain why these two ordinances, whose passage was accom panied with much public comment and ap proval, have thus far been followed by no change in actual conditions. Advanced Professional Standards. From the Philadelphia Times. The large proportion of recent graduates in medicine rejected in the examinations for license to practice by the state board of medical examiners Justifies the action of those medical schools that have been steadily advancing their requirements not only for graduation, but for admission, it is the lack of preliminary education of which the examiners particularly complain. They point out that students who are re jected at the leading schools go off to less exacting institutions- and continue to get their diplomas from them, without be coming qualified physicians. Noriray'i Nobility. From the Anglo-Russian. By the death of Baron Wedel-Jarlsberg, born in 1815, democratic Norway ,has lost Its- last and only nobleman, the nobility as an hereditary institution having been abol ished in 1801. His son, formerly Scandi navian ambassador at various courts, and living in Denmark, will not, therefore, In herit the title. The deceased was a distin guished naval officer, who served the Nor wegian navy for sixty-nine years. He took part in the first Sleswlg war in 1849 and had a commission on the great battle ship Christian VIII when she was blown up by the Prussians in the Eckernforde fiord, the Norwegian officer being at the moment in a boat close to the ship. Thrown into the sea by the catastrophe, he managed to swim ashore, and was subsequently cap tured. FINANCIAL. TUB RIGGS NATIONAL BANK Or WASHINGTON.
