“N'o doubt,” said he to a well edu
cated Dane, “the children are in
structed in the schools as to dairying
and farming.”
‘‘They are not,” said the Dane,
“but they are taught the old Danish
poems (sagas) in the schools. That
makes good Danes out of the chil

farmers.”

BILLION DOLLAR MERGER
OF WIRE SERVICES
I Western Union Bought by Phone
Syndicate.
GOULDS SOLD STOCK AT $85
Theodore X. Vail, President, An
nounces That, the American Tele
phone Company Has Obtained
Control of Telegraph Companies.
New York City.—The biggest cor
poration merger since the formation
of the Steel Trust was made known to
the public when the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company issued
a statement admitting it had acquired
what it calls "a substantial minority
interest," but which is realty the con
trol of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
The announcement confirmed the
statement that control of the Western
Union had passed into the hands of
the Telephone Company. But more
information showed that the merger
of interests had gone much further
and that capital stock in various tele
phone and telegraph corporations, in
cluding the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, aggregating in all more than
$1,000,000,000, will be dominated by
one set of financiers.
The assets of the corporations in
volved aggregate fully $1,500,000,
000, and if plans for the absorption
of many supposedly independent com
panies are carried out the total assets
will probably reach $2,000,000,000,
and the amount of stock and bonds
will exceed $1,500,000,000.
The official announcement was is
sued by Theodore N. Vail, president
of the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, at the regular meet
ing of directors and of the executive
committee in Boston. This state
ment was as follow:
The American Telephone and Tele
graph Company has obtained the con
trol of a substantial minority interest
in the shares of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
There is much to be gained by the
joint construction and maintenance of
plant, and by its common use to the
greatest possible extent, but the
greatest advantage would follow the
placing of the millions of telephone
subscribers in close and reliable con
nection with the receiving and des
patching offices of the telegraph com
panies. While some provision for
this after a manner exists to-day, a
lack of harmony and co-operation
between the companies and an in
ability to agree on methods of fixing
responsibility has limited its utiliza
tion to cases of absolute necessity.
The harmony and co-operation neces
sary, it is believed, can now be estab
lished and the resulting advantages
made available for the public.
Total capitalization, etc., of all tele
graph and telephone companies of
United States, nearly all of which are
controlled by or affiliated by new
merger:
Number of companies, 22,996, of
which only twenty-five are telegraph
Single wire mileage, 14,570,142.
Salaried officers, 29,470. Wage
earnors, 142,733.
George Jay Gould said: “It is a fact
that we have sold a large part of our
holdings in the Western Union Tele
graph Company to the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company.”
What price the Goulds got for their
holdings could not be learned defi
nitely, but the gossip of Wall Street
was that the Telephone Company had
paid $85 a share for the Western
Union stock.

directors appears to have brought
Mrs. Stetson to her knees, although
she says that it was Mrs. Eddy's let
ter read to the members of the New
York church that convinced her she
was id error.

Managua, Nicaragua.—Two Ameri

charged with having placed dynamite
mines to blow up Government steam

State Department’s Quick Action.
Washington, D. C.—Following the

Peremptory demands have been

from its usual displays of force for
the purpose of keeping the peace. A
national offence, in the opinion of the
State Department, has been com
mitted,* requiring for the present in

LABOR STANDS BY BOYCOTT
President John Mitchell Makes
Stirring Speech at Toronto.
Declnres That Term in Jail Will Not
Cause Him to Recede From Asser
tion of Constitutional Rights.
Toronto, Can.—Indorsing a report
of the Committee on Boycott, John
Mitchell, one of .the three officers of
the American Federation of Labor len
der sentence for contempt of Couh,
in a dramatic speech to the conven
tion of that organization at the clo3e
of its session here, declared that as
far as he was concerned, regardless
of consequences, he intended, while
at liberty, to declare for the rights
guaranteed him by the organic laws
of his country. The report which
drew forth Mitchell’s speech and
which was adopted by the convention,
said:
“We say that when your cause is
just and every other remedy has been
employed without result, boycott; we
say that when the employer has de
termined to exploit not only adult
male labor, but our women and chil
dren, and our reasoning and appeal
to his fairness and his conscience will
not sway him, boycott; we say that
when labor has been oppressed, brow
beaten and tyrannized, boycott; ws
say that when social and political con
ditions become so bad that ordinary
remedial measures are fruitless, boy.
cott; and finally, we say that we have
a right to boycott and we propose to
exercise that right. In the applica
tion of .this right of boycott, to para
phrase the president (Gompers), we
propose to strive on and on.”
“I want the people of the United
States to know my position,” said Mr.
Mitchell. “I shall not speak defiantly,
but be the consequences what they
will, I shall not surrender any right
guaranteed to me by the Constitution
of our country. I am not sure how
much mental and physical suffering
will be necessary to make me submit,
but if I know myself, not any amount
of suffering will persuade me that I
have not th* right to spend my money
where I please or that I have not the
right to write and speak as I please,
being responsible under the law for
my acts.
I understand that cognizance is
being taken at Washington, D. C., of
the utterance of men on the floor of
this convention, and I want clearly to
state my position. I propose in the
future, as I have in the past, to ex
ercise the rights secured to me by the
fathers of my country, and I propose
If I am sent to jail to declare again
when I come out that I shall not for
myself purchase any product of the
Bucks Stove and Range Company. I
make this declaration not to tickle
the ear of any man, but that I may
publicly declare the conviction that
that is within me.”
The convention broke into loud
cheers for Mitchell when he had con
cluded, and there were crie3 of “Mor
rison!” but the secretary did not re
spond. President Gompers was not
present.

POOR BLACKSMITH’S SECRET.
Process For Making Steel Sold For
$200,000 and Royalties.
Gallipolis, Ohio. — A new secret

blacksmith at Bidwell, near here, for
$200,000 and royalties,

NEW JERSEHTATE NEWS
Find Crater of Old Volcano.
Engineers on the Lackawanna
Railroad’s twenty-eight-mile cut-off
at Andover, which has been under
way for about a year, have discovered
that instead of making a cut through
the SpartS. Mountains, as had been
planned originally, they must tunnel
part of the distance, at a cost esti
mated at $28,000 above the amount
at first announced. The reason for
the change is the unexpected charac
ter of the interior of. the mountain.
'The contractors came upon a mass of
soft and brittle rock, entirely differ
ent from the hard and firm trap rock
that composes the bulk of the hill,
and borings establish the fact that
they have struck what appears to be a
crater of a long extinct volcano. As
the soft rock would furnish no sup
port for the side walls of the cut, It
becomes necessary to tunnel and re
inforce the bore with steel and con
crete, as has been done in the tunnel
under the Hudson and East rivers.
Will Share With Brother.
Surrogate Cornell brought to Judge
Gnichtel’s house, in Trenton, two
brothers and three sisters, children of
Mrs. Sarah Wood. They wanted to
erase from her will a clause which
disinherited her son, John Wood. She
left him hut $5, while she divided the
estate of $130,000 among the other
children. A11 of the children agreed
that this was an injustice to their
brother, and they wanted the Court to
allow them to revise the will. The
Court told them that this could not be
done, but that the Court had no
power over what they did out of
court. The will was then probated,
and the division will be made equally.

Held up in Western fashion on a

it the point of a revolver. Mr. Hen
Iricks was dozing in his seat and was
rudely awakened by the pressure of
the muzzle of a revolver against his
cheek. Mr. Hendricks was so fright
