WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.— A clear, concise and businesslike statement of so much of the operations of the navy department duriig the war, as related to the procurement and care of ships and generally to the material. Is pro vided tn the annual report of Assistant Pecreitary Allen, just made public. Among other dutiea the assistant eec relary was charged with the procure i nient of v^eeels for the auxiliary navy. ; He says that this work was managed ; with the utmost care, not only as to the | quality of the chips, but also to the pj-ice paid, and he corammds the in telligence and fidelity of the board, headed by Capi. Itodgers, which in spected the vessels purchased. He de clares that in making the purchases of vesr-els the same care for the govern ment's interests on the financial side was exercised as would tee the case with a private case, with an effort in every instance to make the best bar gain possible. In numerous Instances the department paid very much less than the price asked for ships, and in ewne oases lvse than the price recom mended by the inspection board. In the beginning, Mr. Allen says, it was possible that prices were higher than could have bten secured if it had befn I practicable to wait for competition. Bu-t true economy and the best Inter ests of the government made It the cor rect poli<;y to pay a higher price for a vessel when her servicts were vitally needed rather than suffer the govern ment's interests to be jeopardized by waiting for a lower price. In leaving this branch of his report he refeis with pleasure to the generous patriotism of the friends of the government, in its time of need, naming Mr. F. August Schermerhorn and Mr. W. R. Heapet, who bad offered to the government their private yachts, Free Lance and Buccaneer, respectively. The organization of the naval force as well as the purchase of the ships was conducted by the assistant eecre tary's o/&ce f and the report shows that cm this account buit $720,639 was ex pended out of the appropriation of $8, --000,000.

WeaT«r, an agent for a sewing machine company, had been pounded and cut in a row at the Richelieu hotel, Seventh and Robert streets, he did not even confer with Lieut. Boerner, but proceeded to the seem© of the trouble to investigate for himself. He climbed the blood-atained stairs, down which Weaver was led, with blood pouring from cute about has head, visited the room where the flgrht tcok pLaoe, and questioned those who knew any of the facts in the case. The mayor learned that Weaver was supposed to be daiigerously hurt. He also learned that the police had made no arrests. Then the mayor was wroth. He hunted up Officers Carey and Perre and directed them to arrest the parties "who had assaulted Weaver. The mayor told the officers that the parties wanted were Hairy White amd his wife.

From the> New Orleans Times-Democrat "I don't like to upset a cherished tradi tion," said a doctor who Is himself a de votee of the weed, "but the talk one hears of nicotine saturating the system of smokers Is mostly rot. Nicotine Is a deadly poison; one drop of It will make a good-sized mastiff turn up his toes, If injected subcutaneously, and it would take precious little of it to kill a man. The truth Is that very little is ab sorbed, even by the most confirmed smokers. Now and then you read of men who die from excessive tobacco using and are found on au topsy to be literally reeking with nicotine. All rubbish. Nothing of the kind ever hap yfned. Again, it's a favorite experiment to blow smoke through a handkerchief and the stain that Is produced Is popularly supposed to be made by nicotine. It is really oil of tobacco, which is a horse of quite a different color. No, the chief harm done by smo-king Is the stimulus which it gives to the heart. This is particularly true of cigarette 6moiiing, where 'inhaling' is nearly always practiced. Each time the smoke is Inhaled it acts as a slight spur to the heart and, needless to say, there is sure to be a reaction. If the smoker is in good general health h« will probably never feel It, but if he isn't there will be I>eriod3 of profound depression and, not know ing the cause, he Is apt to try to brace up on a drink, which makes matters just that much worse. If he has organic heart trouble— a valvular weak-ness, I mean — it's quite pos sible that he will tumble over some day and put his angel plumage on. Those are th» cold facts about smoking— none other Is gen uine." WAYS OF WEALTH. Millionaire* In Different Parts of the World and Their Wayi. From the New York World. How many millionaires are there in the world? A commonly accepted estimate placea the number of men in this country owning $1,000,000 or more each at be tween 4,000 and 5,000. In the world at large there must be from fifteen to twenty times as many, by no means confined to the more civilized races Perhaps there are 100,000 in all, though this may be doubtful. For instance, India is full of native millionaires. Not omly the great num ber of Indian prinoes, with their fabu. lous hoards of state jewels, must be reckoned In the list, but there are many millionaire merchants in the cities The great Parsee houses of Bombay have as good credit as any merchant* in the world, and their heads are fabu lously wealthy, although like all tlu "warm" men of the East, they liv* very humbly. For in one-(half of this globe, it must be remembered, the richer a man is the more ragged his clothes, the more squalid his house. This device does not save him from frequent robbery by his rulers, or even in some oases from murder. Turkish and Persian million aires are not good life Insurance risks, yet the Jews of Damascus and Te- I heran and the Greeks of Smyrna in clude many who could measure wealth with the smaller American nabobs. In Egypt wealthy men are able to display their riches freely. Alexandrine Greeks and Cairene Copts and Jews are often immensely wealthy. Even in I Morocco, Nahou the banker must be several times a millionaire under for eign protection, and there are others in inland towns Whose wealth is great. The great Chinese merchants havo as fine a commercial reputation as the Parsees. Not alone in China, but in Hong Kong, the Straits Settlements ant! even in Burmah they include in their number many men of vast for tunes. In Japan millionaires are yet comparatively few, but are raipidly in creasing in number. In big Russia millionaires are prob ably fewer than in little Holland, where immense wealth is derived from the colonial trade. France has shoals of millionaires. Germany, once poor, is rapidly gaining immense wealth in shipping, trade and manufacture, and her rich men are already legion. Aus tria and the Balkan states have many great fortunes. Italy's old rural pro prietors of proud family are mostly "land poor," but her merchants, ship pers and manufactures are shrewd and well provided with money. The trade of the Mediterranean is largely in Ital iar. hands. New millionaires swarm in South Af rica and Australia, because of the gold discoveries and the diamond mines of the Kimberly region. Mexico, the Cen tral and South American states and Canada have together perhaps 2,000. Even bleak Newfoundland has one, and he one of the most remarkable in the lot, the famous "Czar Reid." Finally it must not be forgotten that Great Britain alone has many more small millionaires — men with from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, who live quietly and unostentatiously — than the United States. Such modest wealthy men are not. few in New York. Most readers will remember the stir Mr. Fayerweather'a death made, though few had heard of him living. About the same time a man worth $14,000,000 died on an up town street. He got a two or three line "obituary note" In most of the newspapers. The public had never heard of him. WOOL FROM_PINE TREES. New Industry Abont to Be Launch ed In the State of Oregon. From the Ban Francisco Examiner. Most men would as soon think of gathering figs off thistles as wool off pine trees, yet that is Just what the promoters of a new Oregon industry propose to do. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Cords are establishing a plant at Grant's Pass for the manufacture of pine needles into a fabric very like woolen cloth. It has been carried on in Europe for years, but never before has it occurred to any one that in the forest of Oregon is better material and more of it for the manufacture of pine wool than any place else in the world. Mr. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts, but are practical-minded withal, and do not propose to start In on too large a scale. They intend first to make material of the consistency of excel sior for matresses, after that they will manufacture the cotton which is used for underclothing, bandages and other purposes where a soft and pliable fab ric Is required. Only the inner fabric of the needleg can be used for the lat ter, and the process Is expensive, but no more so than that of the manufac ture of lamb's wool. Mrs. Cords is familiar with the pro cess of manufacturing fabrics from pine needles in Germany and France, and In a visit to Oregon something more than a year ago it occurred to her that the pine trees here were bet ter suited to the process of manufac turing than those of the continent. A little investigation convinced her that it would be worth while to try the ex periment, and, with the assistance of her hus-band, she started a small fac tory at Grant's Pass. Machinery of the proper kind was not to be had, and it was necessary to send to Eu rope for it. This caused a delay, and when the machinery arrived it proved useless. Offended the Emperoo*. PARIS.

MONEY DIDN'T COUNT. ; He Would Talte No Chances, Even, for n Goodly Fortune. From the Washington Star. A lawyer had come all the way from California to pay a $10,000 legacy over to Uncle Jerry Hopefleld, who had liv ed all his life in a little town in Ohio, and after breakfast two or three of us were invited to go along and witness the transfer. When we reached the house Uncle Jerry was tightening up the hoops on the rain barrel, while his wife had gone to see a sick neighbor. They had been fully Identified the day before as the proper parties, and now the lawyer said: "Well, Uncle Jerry, I want to hand you that money and get a receipt and be off this morniing." "I'm kinder busy, Just no-w," said the old man, as he stopped hammering for a moment. "Yes, but I have $10,000 here for you. I don't believe there's a man in th« world who wouldn't stop work long enough to sign a receipt for such a fortune." "ilebbe not, but it looks like rain, and I want to git this bar'l fixed right away. Can't you come over In about an hour?" "Look here, man, but did you ever ccc $10,000 in all your life?" asked the lawyer, as be opened the satchel and displayed a big package of new green backs. "No, I never did," replied Uncle Jer ry, as he pounded away. '•I>id you ever have $1,000 of your own ?" "Lands, no." "Never had a hundred all at once, did you?" "Never. Durn that hoop, but it don't want to go on!" "I must ask you to get this business over as soon as possible," continued the lawyer, as the old man kept at his work. "But it'e going to rain." "Yes, buit her's your money." "And I've got to get this bar'l fix ed." "It won't take over "ten minutes to fix up our business. Run along and fetch your wife." "See here," said Uncle Jerry, as he laid down his hammer and wiped the back of his neck, "Mariar has gone over to Blodgetfe to be gon« an hour. Before she went she said I must tinker up this rain bar'l." "But can't you stop your tinkering to hardle $10,000 in cold cash!" exclaimed the lawyer in indignant tones. "Yes, yes, I kin stop work; but what about Mariar?" "Well, what about her?" "Why, She'd come home expectin* this bar'l to be all tinkered up, and if she found it wasn't, them $10,000 wouldn't hold her no more'n a tow string would hold a hoss. She'd jest shove me clean down among the cab bages, and jump on the bar'l with both feet and squash it all to squash, and fur the next week I'd hey to walk arcund on tiptoe and eat my meals in the woodshed." Hiuli Collars. If you see a peculiarly high collar on the well-dressed man, please understand it is the Invention a Le Bargy, the Paris actor, who is dead-swell, and the aspirant to th« Prince re Sagan's title, the Prince of Chfc- Le Bargy has a too long neck, but he has artfully got the better of the defect, and can make short-necked dandies look old-timely, not to say dowdy, if men can be dowds as well aa dudea. It Is suspected that the mar riage of this stage favorite to a wealthy young lady will Injure his prospects, for mar ried actors in Paris are not sought by th» class similar to our matinee girls. Tradi tions, however, change sometimes, even In France, now that divorce la possible there, and being weddwl out of his own rank will certainly break the Ice for this much-talked about young man. If he continues to be popular, and a maker of fashion, though wedded, things have changed very materially. — Boston Herald.
