New Orleans in Peril.
Army Engineers Say the Levee System is Unsafe
—200,000 People Threatened.
Constant danger of destruction during
the time of high water threatens 200,000
residents of New Orleans on account of the
poor construction of the levees protecting
a part of the Cresent City, according to the
report of Major George McDerby, corps of
engineers, U. S. A., just received at the
war department. He urged that the risk,
which is lightly}regarded because the levees
have never yet broken in time of high wa-
ter, should he promptly obviated before a
great disaster will have vaid a fearful price
for negligence. He points out that the
levees are for miles constructed at the very
edge of the river banks, which are constant-
ly washed out and caved in, and that if a
crevasse in the levee occurs in time of high
water nothing could preveut a terrible loss
of life and property.
Behind the report of the Mississippi river
commission, lies a story of differences
between the army engineers who superin-
tend the work of dredging and levee con-
struction done by the government, and the
municipal authorities who render like
service in the work carried on by the city
of New Orleans. The engineers have held
for a long time that the work done by the
city was incomplete and unsafe. Frequent-
ly protests have been made, and the feeling
over the matter has come to be quite pro-
nounced. Engineers here who are familiar
with the situation declare that the city
government of New Orleans is feeling
blindly secure because an accident of the
kind feared has never occurred in the past.
Major Derby speaks in his report of the
vast amount of work done on the river at
New Orleans in repairing the banks and
protecting them so as to give permanency to
the shore line to permit the construction of
elevators, wharves and other shipping facili-
ties. He speaks of the danger of being un-
derwashed which threatens the banks of
the river, and says :
‘‘Consequently no levee located within
200 feet of such a hank can be considered
entirely safe, however good a levee it may
‘be otherwise, for there is always a chance
of its caving into the river at highwater.
Of course such a risk would not generally
be a great one, since high-water caves are
of rare occurrence, and the results of a
crevasse are not usually overwhelming.
“But I wish to call attention to the fact
that in the city of New Orleans there are
many thousand feet of levee located on the
edge of such hanks as I have described, and
we have a population of probably 200,000
who are living behind these levees on low
land in one-story frame buildings, so that
a sudden crevasse occurring in the levee
line of the city or at high water would
probably be most disastrous and accom-
panied by great loss of life.
‘It is, my judgment, a great mistake to
take this risk a year longer than is abso-
lutely necessary, and I would recommend
that funds be provided to complete the
project for the protection of the banks as
promptly as practicable, instead of at only
one-sixth rate which has been recommend-
ed for the past ten years.”

The Cost of Living.
Allover the land the housekeepers and
heads of families are complaining of the
increased cost of living. The ‘‘weekly al-
lowance,’’ which formerly met all the de-
mands of the household and satisfied the
claims of the butcher, the baker, the grocer
and the venders of fruits and vegetables, is
now painfully inadequate. To add to the
vexation of spirit and tribulations of the
average citizen, coal has become almost
a luxury, the price of anthracite soar-
ing to altitudes which are sorely discour-
aging to the thrifty person who tries to
save something out of his earnings. With
a few exceptions, prices have advanced
along the whole line of necessary commod-
ities. There has not, however, been an
advance in wages, although one or two of
the industrial combinations have granted
their employes a slight increase in wages.
The thirty-second annual report of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics contains
interesting and instructive facts relating to
the change in the price level since 1897.
The figures cover retail prices in the var-
ious towns and cities in that ancient com-
monwealth. The people of Massachusetts
are thrifty bargainers. Prices of the com-
modities of household consumption are
probably kept down in that state to the
lowest possible level. Yet Massachusetts
feels the advance in the cost of living as
acutely as other states. According to the
bureau of statistics, there has been an in-
crease of 19.54 per cent, in the price of pro-
visions in 1902 as compared with 1897.
Prices of nearly all commodities were
higher, it is true, in 1872 than at the pres-
ent time. But that was an era of inflation,
the legacy of the civil war. The prices
which obtained then do not constitute a
reasonable basis of comparison with 1902.
Comparing the purchasing power of one
dollar in 1887 with its purchasing power
in 1902, the Massachusetts statisticans find
that buyers of household commodities are
at a far greater disadvantage now than
they were five years ago. Take meats for
instances. The quantity of roast beef
purchaseable now for $1 shows a decrease
of 16.64 per cent. ; of rump steak, 7.97 per
cent. ; of veal, 23.30 per cent.; of mutton,
32.39 per cent.; of fresh pork, 28.10 per
cent. ; of salt pork, 25.21 per cent. ; of lard,
40.13 per cent. ; of butter, 20.10 per cent. ;
of potatoes, 12.12 per cent.; of milk, 11.14
per cent. In 1897 the buyer could pur-
chase 6.85 pounds of roasting beef for $1.
Hecan get only 5.71 pounds in 1902.
One dollar in 1897 would buy 17.86 pounds
of soup hzef. The purchaser in 1902 must
be content with four pounds less. One
dollar five years ago would buy 12.66
pounds of veal forequarter, or 14.08 pounds
of mutton (leg). or 10 pounds of fresh
pork. Now the marketer must be content
with 9.71 pounds of veal forequarter, or
9.52 pounds of mutton forequarter, or 6.17
pounds of leg of mutton, or 7.19 pounds of
fresh pork.
These are only a few instances of the
marked decline in the purchasing power of
the dollar in the past five years. The
Massachusetts statisticians think there is
some compensation in the decreased price
of groceries, comparison with 1897 showing
a decline of 7.03 per cent, in favor of 1902.
Bat, as the increase in the price of provis-
ions is 19.54, the compensation is wholly
inadequate, and lacks a great deal of filling
the aching void in the purse of the per-
plexed housekeeper. But not all groceries
show a decline in price. Boston has to
pay 36.39 per cent. more for its dry codfish
than it paid in 1897; 42.86 per cent. more
for beans; 16.38 per cent. for tea; 4.61 per
cent, for brown sugar; 12.45 per cect. for
common soap; 11.11 per cent. for starch;
14.29 per cent. for cheese. There has also
been a substantial advance in the cost of
dry goods, the increase being as follows :
Sheeting (brown), 52.94 per cent; bleached
sheeting, 64.10 por cent.; cotton flannel,
7.50 per cent.; ticking, 22.73 per cent.;
prints, 12.38 per cent. Rents have risen
in sympathy with the general advance, the
increase being 40.57 per cent, for 4-room
tenements, and 66.24 per cent. for 6-room
tenements.
This is an era of great industrial activity.
Our optimists are fond of asserting and re-
asserting that the country was never more
prosperous than at present. Perhaps that
is true. But the average housekeeper will
not agree with the optimist that high
prices are an unmixed blessing. When she
counts up her balanceat the end of each
week she isinclined to think she has a griev-
ance. It seems to be impossible to recon-
cile her facts with the optimists’ theories
and conclusions.— Baltimore Sun.
Our Pennies,
Over 86,000,000 Turned Out at the Philadelphia
Mint.
Pennies are a popular product of the
Philadelphia mint since newspapers, slot
machines and odd bargain prices created a
great demand for the copper piece.
During the fiscal year of the United
States Treasury which bas just ended 86,-
479,722 pennies were coined in the Phila-
delphia mint, nickels were likewise in
great demand, and 31,298,779 were turned
out.
New York state comes first in the list of
penny spenders, receiving almost 10,000,-
000 during the year. Illinois is next with
7,000,000 Massachusetts with 5,000,000
and Pennsylvania with 4,000.000.
Uncle Sam has 1,100,000,000 cents
in coin and 340,000,000 nickels. Some-
where possibly held as souvenirs, are 119,-
000,000 big coppers pennies. Of the 4,500,-
000 two-cent pieces issued many years ago,
3,000,000 are still out standing. Nearly
2,000,000 of the nickle three-cent pieces
are unaccounted for.
At the mint nickelsand cents wear out
rapidly, principally because they are con-
stantly passing from hand to hand. The
life of a cent is four or five years. The
treasury turns out 60,000,000 to 90,000,000
a year.
The report of R. R. Freed, coiner of the
Philadelphia mint, shows that during the
year there were coined from 125.010 pieces
of gold $315,162.50, consisting of 88 double
eagles, 102 eagles, 133 half eagles and 124,-
687 quarter les.
Of silver the value of $14,679,688.25 was
coined into 8,196,800 dollars, 4,370,800
half dollars, 9,693,767 quarters and 18,
740,465 dimes. The total coinage amount-
ed to $17,424,586,92.

Great Rail Road War.
The Pennsylvania and Wabash Systems In a Strug-
gle for Supremacy. Opposing Forces Are Tremen.
dous, and What Gould of Wabash Lacks In Mil-
eage He Makes Up In Financial Power.
July 29.—Preliminary moves in what
promises to be the greatest railroad fight
in history have been in progress for some
weeks and have occupied the attention of
the financial world almost to the exclusion
of other events.
The parties to this contest are George
J. Gould, representing the Wabash - inter-
ests, and A. J. Cassatt, representing the
Pennsylvania. It is evident that interests
even more far-reaching than the mighty
ones centred in these great railway pro-
perties are involved, and the struggle, if it
comes to earnest, will see ranged on one
side or the other nearly all the great rail-
way and hanking interests of the country.
Mr. Gould is believed to have the back-
ing of Mr. Harriman, representing the
Union-Central-Southern Pacific interests,
together with the National City Bank, of
New York, and the Standard Oil interests.
They include financiers as prominent as
any in New York outside of J. P. Mor-
gan & Co.
THE OPPOSING FORCE.
With Mr. Cassatt are believed to be
associated the Vauderbilt interests and
probably Morgan & Co. The Pennsyl-
vania will bave the support of the Balti-
more & Ohio. which it controls, and per-
haps owns; the Chesapeak & Ohio, in which
it has a large interest, and the Norfolk &
Western, also under its control.
In general it may be said that there are
in the Pennsylvania group about 35,000
miles, including the Vanderbilt lines, but
not all of those controlled by Morgan,
therefore some of the latter are not likely
to figure in the contest. The financial
interests in this combination may be
roughly stated at about $3,000,000,000.
The Gould interests do not represent a
mileage as large as this, nora capitalization
so great, except as is represented by the
parties in interest, but the latter include
strong financial powers that in the aggre-
gate might figure up almost as much as
the other, though in the matter of strate-
gic position they are notso strong as the
Pennsylvania allied powers. This makes
it a $6 000,000,000 fight, orabout one-half
of the railway capital of the country.
DEMANDS OUTLET TO SEA.
What, then, has precipitated a fight
that threatens about one-half of the capi-
tal in railways in the country? Simply
this; George Gould has defied all precedent
by seeking for the Wabash & ‘Eastern a
seaboard outlet. His first move was to
get control of the Western Maryland, a
small, crooked, one-track road, running
from Baltimore into the Blue Mountains,
but which may be connected with the Wa-
bash by building a line from Pittsburg.
When the United States Steel Corporation
was formed it was discovered that the Car-
negie Company had made an iron-bound
contract to deliver to the Wabash three
million tons of freight annually, and this
contract was not changed by the cousoli-
dation of the steel interests.
This was probably where the iron fleet
entered the soul c¢f Pennsylvania, seeing
that the Wabash was not a Pittsturg road
and was obliged to build a line to make
the connection.
Pennsylvania retaliated by ordering
Gould’s Western Union off its lines. The
Gould lines, with the Great Southwest
traffic, are anxious to reach the seaboard.
They will soon be in Pittsbnrg.’
Plague of Mosquitoes.
Contractors in Milwaukee Obliged to Stop Outdoor
Work.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 27.—Mosqui-
toes are so numerous in Millwaukee that
life is almost a burden to man and beast,
and parts of the city that have never hither-
to been invavded by the pest swarm with
them day and night. Smudge fires on
fashionable lawns on the East Side are a
common sight every evening, and no one
pretends to sit out of doors after dark with-
out protection of some sort.
Beck & Otjen, grading contractors in the
vicinity of St. Francis, have been obliged
to discharge their men and put their horses
in the stables until the mosquitoes have
disappeared, the horses halking or run-
ning away and the men being almost blind-
ed by the pests. The foreman of a large
gang of men at work on one of the South
Side contracts for a land company says he
he is unable to hire men to work at grad-
ing for the same reason, and there is no
prospect of finishing a great amount of
work that is necessary at this season.
Statement of the National Debt.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The monthly
statement of the national debt shows that
the close of business July 31, 1902, the
debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted
to $973,910,367, which is an increase as
compared with July 1, of $4,453,126. This
increase is accounted for by the reduction
in the amount of cash on hand.
——The buying of a watermelon is a
good bit of a lottery nuless one is sufficient-
ly expert to tell a good one by the sound
on knocking it with the knuckles, or un-
less one’s olfactory organs are sufficiently-
trained to detect the delicious odor that is
supposed to exude from the stem end. The
day of the plugged watermelon is past. It
used to be that no women would think of
buying a melon without first having it
plugged. This operation consisted of cut-
ting out with deep knife thrusts a section
of the melon perhaps an inch square, but
the practice has long been abandoned, ex-
cept by some of the hucksters who go about
the streets. The dealers now slice two or
three melons open, place them conspicu-
ously on top of the pile, and that is sup-
posed to be a sufficient guarantee that the
others are just as good.

EXPERIENCE.—Experience teaches noth-
ing more forcibly than it teaches this: If
you get tired easily, if you are upset by
trifies, if your appetite is poor, your sleep
broken, the best thing you can do is to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

this superlative way -—what better recom-
mendation could it have?

(= ERAL DEBILITY
Day in and out there is that feeling of
weakness tial makes a burden of itself.
Food does not strengthen.
Sleep does not refresh.
It is hard to do, hard to bear, what
should be easy,—vitality is on the ebb,
and the whole system suffers.
For this condition take
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA
It vitalizes the blood, gives vigor and
tone to all the organs and functions, and
is positively unequalled for all run-down
or debilitated conditions.
