    NEW POLICE HEAD.
I*be Mnn AYlio Will CoTtrn Greater
Xetv \ork'R Olopcoatd.
If to bo a trained soldier, a successful
disciplinarian, an experienced man of
affairs and a conscientious public serv
ant counts for anything, then Greater
New York is going to have at the head
of its police force the best man it ever
had. Colonel John Nelson Fartridge,
Mayor Low's appointee for this posi
tion, has a public and private record
that any individual might well be
proud of. It has long been contended
K|L
COLONF.L JOHN" KXT.RON' PARTRIDGE.
that the ideal police commissioner
should be an army officer of thorough 1
military training, and such a man is
Colonel. Partridge.
He was born in Massachusetts sixty
two years ago. but looks much young
er. He is a soldier, a veteran of the
civil war, has been a colonel of a regi
ment of the national guard and has
had experience in managing Important ,
departments of municipal governments. '
In the war Colonel Partridge served !
as lieutenant and captain arid while j
leading his company in the battle of I
Drury's Bluff was wounded, but not
seriously Contracting rheumatism in |
the trenches about Petersburg, he was j
mustered out of the service in 1804. In
1800 he joined the Twenty-third regi- ]
ment, N. G. N. Y., and rose from a lieu- i
tenancy to a colonelcy.
Colonel Partridge has served as fire
commissioner and also police commis
sioner of Brooklyn. As head of the !
police department he carried out sev
eral reforms. Among other things he j
established a civil service and a river
patrol system, the latter system stamp- j
ins out river piracy to a great extent, i
He hns been the New York state su- '
perintendent of public works and haa
proved a pood administrator.
The new police commissioner for
Greater New York is a widower and
has one grown son. Nelson Partridge, j
who lives in Colorado Springs. He
has distinguished family connections
on every mi!,\ and the family has rec
ords of more than 300 ancestors, all
born in Massachusetts or Connecticut. ;
When not in Albany, he lives with his
mother in Brooklyn.
LADY STEWART'S MARRIAGE
lii Soon to Rpcoiih' llie Bride of Lord
Slit vord <« le.
Society in England is givin.tr a great
deal of attention to a matrimonial
event that is to occur in that country
early iu the new year. It is the mar
riage of Lady Helen Stewart and I.ord
Stavordale. and owing to the social
prominence of the couple it will be one
of the weddings of the season. They
are admirably suited to each other in
point of ycfirs, birth and wealth and
are notably handsome.
Lady Helen Stewart is the only
daughter of Lord and Lady London
derry and is a relative of the Duke of
Marlborough. She is tall and attrac
tive and has charming and fascinating
manners. Like her mother, she is de
voted to amateur acting and plays re
markably well. For several years she
has been a prominent figure in London.
Lord Stavordale, who will wed Lady
Stewart, is the only son of Lord and
Pbotc ty Lafavette, Lonriun.

1901 IN REVIEW.
The first year of the twentieth cen
j airy has not varied in many mater'd
j respects from the last year of the niuc
i teenth century. About the usual ratio of
good and ill, of gain and loss, has been
| maintained. Time and again in 1901
' have the elements of nature, sometimes
at frightful cost, taught the lesson of
' I human frailty. Fires and floods, disas
ters on land and sea, the ravages of
disease and the pinch of penury have
come and left their devastating marks
upon man and his perishable enter
prises.
On the whole, however, it has not
H»en. in this country at least, a year of
tit usual disaster or distress, but, on
>-• contrary, one of more than aver
age prosperity and almost entire ex
emption from famine and plague,
fliough summer heat and drought pro
j duced a shortage in one of our great
j staples, diminishing the corn crop of
| normally 2.000.000,000 to about 1,000,-
000.000 bushels, we have foodstuffs in
1 plenty and to spare. Aside from corn
and a shortage in the apple and potato
crops of certain sections, our fields
have returned to the husbandman
abundant harvests. The wheat crop,
by which perhaps more than any other
single product we gauge our prosper- j
ity, was exceptionally large, while the
cotton crop, another of our great sta
ples, was normal. Our mines of pre
cious and useful metals have, it is es- i
timated, yielded more than during any ;
other year in our history, pouring into I
the lap of commerce and industry al- ;
most incomprehensible millions. Alto
gether in the co-operation of mankind ,
! with nature there have been abundant i
! rewards, and all in all it may fairly be 1
I said that our blessings of the year have
I greatly outweighed our misfortunes.
Religion, Philanthropy and Learning.
While we have ever with us selfish- (
J ness and greed, vice and crime and !
j the lust of power and wealth, the year ,
1 1901 seems to have shown a steady ad-
I vance along the lines of broad, tolerant
j and helpful religious faith, the spread :
of knowledge and the exercise of phi- (
lanthropy. Anything like accurate fig- j
ures are unobtainable, though it may
fairly be said that the aggregate of j
I private donations to educational insti- :
! tutions, public charities and churches j
| has been greater than in any previous
' year. In 1900 these donations were '
i estimated at §70,000,000. Judged by .
i certain individual gifts which are mat- '
ters of record, that figure has been
; greatly exceeded in 1901.
The most munificent donation of the i
year was the presentation of title
deeds of property aggregating $40,000,-
000 by Mrs. Jane Stanford to the Le- ;
land Stanford, Jr.. university, though ;
considerable portions of this vast sum !
represented previous gifts not formal- j
ly recorded.
The proposition of widest public in- j
terest is that of Andrew Carnegie to
donate $10,000,000 to the government 1
as the foundation of a national univer
sity at Washington, operating in con-
Junction with the educational facilities
already under governmental control, j
The president has Mr. Carnegie's pro- |
posai under advisement, and tio doubt !
the outcome will be the establishment \
of a national institution for advanced
study and research with equipments
rivaling the greatest of the world's
universities.
Capital and Labor.
During the year 1901 labor has in
the main been reasonably well employ
ed, and capital has an adequate re
turn from its investment There have
been industrial conflicts, though they
hardly reached the extent and bitter
ness of those of many previous years.
The year seems to have shown a marked
growth of organization in the rarfks of
labor, while on the other hand the "com
munity of interest" idea on the part of
capital has been greatly strengthened.
Notable instances of consolidati <ns ef
fected within the past twelve months
were the formation of the United
States Steel corporation, with a capi
tal of .$1 ,000,000,000, and the merger of
the northwestern railroads under the :
corporate name of the Northern Secu
rities company, combining nearly 48,-
000 miles of roads, capitalized at about
$2,000,000,000.
The most hopeful development of the
year iu the relations of capital and j
labor was the organization of the in
dustrial department of the National
Civic Federation as the result of a re
markably representative gathering of
capitalists, labor leaders and promi- j
nent clergymen, educators, economists j
and business men. Provision was '
made for a permanent court of arbitra
tion and mediation, before which the
representatives of both labor and cap
ital practically pledged themselves to '
bring their disputes and to abide by
its findings, it is recognized as tlie
most advanced step yet taken in tie
direction of industrial peace, though it j
can hardly be hoped that in a world |
where self Interests dominate it will '
wholly eliminate conflicts between di- >
verse and antagonistic elements.
The Nations' Political Affairs.
The most important political events 1
of the year 1901 were the succession, i
through the tragic and lamented death J
of William McKinley. of Theodore
Roosevelt to the presidency of the
Cnited States and the outlining of his 1
policy in his first message to congress, i
The new year sees this government |
still in military control of Cuba, though \
that island has made a fair degree of j
progress toward the consummation of j
its hopes for national independence. j
Its people have adopted a constitution, j
under which elections of president and
other officers are soon to be held,
when this government will undoubted
ly withdraw its troops and recognize
the Cuban republic as a sovereign
state Our little island of Porto Rico
Finds Way to Live Long.
The startling announcement of a Dis
covery that will surely lengthen life is
made by editor O. H. Downey, of Chn
rubusco, Ind. ' I wish to state,"he
writes, "that Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption is the most infallible
remedy that I have ever known for
Cough, Colds and Grip. It's invaluable
to people with weak lungs. Having
this wonderful medicine no one need
dread Pneumonia or Consumption. Its
relief is instant and cure certain.

has made marked progress toward the
assimilation of our language, modes of
thought and customs, particularly since
facilities for freer trade and communi
cation have been established. In the
Philippines the civil authorities have
been made co-ordinate with and in some
directions superior tothe military, while
1 the introduction of the American sys
tem of education has been greatly ad
| i vanced. The federal supreme court
has decided that the archipelago is a
part of the United States, though sub
ject to the action of congress in the
matter of trade relations. The house
of representatives lias passed a bill
providing for the imposition of tariffs
upon the same basis as those with for
' eign countries, except that all duties,
whether collected at home or in Philip
j pine ports, are to be paid into the
Philippine treasury. The bill is still
pending in the senate, but Is likely to
' pass.
i
j The first important act of the senate
of the Fifty-seventh congress was the
ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote
i treaty, abrogating the outworn Clay
ton-Bulwer convention which has for
i years stood in the way of isthmian ca
! nal construction. Diplomatic negotia
j tions have also been entered with Nlca
! ragua and Costa Rica for grants of
rights of way for the proposed canal.
; A treaty with Denmark has been
j practically agreed upon for our pur
chase of the Danish West Indies,
which are regarded as strategically Im
portant to us in connection with the
Nicaraguan waterway.
Pan-A in erica n Developments.
! A development of 1901, In which
the United States has a vital part. Is
t the pan-American congress, still in ses
sion at the City of Mexico, the purpose
of which is to establish and main
tain closer and more amicable political
and commercial relations between all
the Americas. Its results cannot now
be foreshadowed, but they can hardly
i fail to have a generally beneficial ef
fect, though it is quite out of the ques
j tion that they will all at once stop the
armed revolutions and petty wars of
certain of the Latin American repub
lics of the sort now being experienced
i in Colombia and Venezuela. The land-
I ing of American marines for the pur
pose of protecting the Panama rail
. road seems to have had a salutary ef
| feet upon the combatants in that quar
! ter, as well as fulfilling our treaty ob
ligation to prevent interruption of
transportation across the isthmus. A
; complication in South America of eon
i cern to us is the effort of Germany to
collect by force a debt from Venezuela,
' though we have assurances from the
German embassador that no violation
of our interpretation of the Monroa
doctrine is contemplated. The Chile
' Argentina territorial boundary dispute,
1 which recently threatened war be
; tween these important South Ainerl
! can republics, seems likely to be ami
! cably adjusted, a modus vivendi hav-
I ing been established pending arbitra
tion, King Edward of England being
! agreed upon as mediator.
Old World Polities and War.
The Chinese question, growing out of
! the antiforelgu movement, which loom
i ed up large and threateningly In the
orient early in 1901, compelling the
western powers to land troops for the
relief of their beleaguered ministers in
Peking, has been substantially adjust
ed, and mainly through the attitude of
the United States the territorial integ
rity of the Chinese empire was pre
served and the "open door" to com
merce assured.
Our collection of an Indemnity claim
against Turkey was a notable event In
International politics, since it apparent
ly furnished precedent for the action of
France in collecting a long standing
claim and for other powers for press
ing payment of demands for Indemni
ties against the dilatory and promise
breaking sultan.
The new year still finds the Boer-
British war In progress, with the pros
pect that another twelvemonth will not
see its finish. As a result of the In
troduction of the British concentration
camps, it Is stated that 17,000 Boer
j men, women and children have perish
ed In the last six months, though the
Boers In arms seem less Inclined to
give up the heroic struggle than ever,
while in England the campaign has
steadily grown in unpopularity, and
the British public has come almost to
the point of open protest against the
excessive burden of taxation it causes
and the continuous drain upon its man
hood.
Science and Industry.
During 1901 the developments In
l science, art and industry found expres
sion in the Pan-American exposition,
which, though a financial failure, was
an artistic success and a marvelously
attractive and instructive showing of
the resources, products and material
achievements of the countries Included
ivithin its scope. In the employment
of electricity inartistic Illumination It
undoubtedly surpassed anything hlth
: erto accomplished. The exposition at
Buffalo Ik followed by the South Caro
lina Interstate and West Indian expo
sition at Charleston, many of the ex
hibits at the former being installed In
the latter. The especial purpose of the
exposition Is to demonstrate the re
markable industrial development of the
south in recent years, particularly in
the cotton textile industry, and to fos
ter more intimate trade relations with
the Antilles. The ground has been
broken for the buildings of the Louisl
i ana Purchase exposition at St. Louis,
which is to commemorate In 1903 the
i one hundredth anniversary of the ces
| sion by France to the United States of
that vast territory which makes up so
large a part of our transmississlppi do
main.
The spirit of the time Is speed in the
transportation of passengers, freight
and Intelligence, and much has been
accomplished in this direction during
the year. Steam locomotives have
been made togo faster and with great
er safetv than ever before, while elec-

trie propulsion has grown almost b.v
! leaps and bounds. In Germany suc
i cessfnl experiments have been conduct
ed by which trolley cars running upon
ordinary tracks have maintained a safe
and practical speed of ninety-two miles
an hour. A racing automobile has es
tablished a speed record of a mile
straightaway in 51 4-5 seconds. The
experiments of Santos-Dumont and
others, though not yet entirely success
ful, point to the ultimate possibility of
practical aerial travel, while the per
fection to which the Holland boats
have been brought assures the safety
and practicability of submarine navi
gation.
The notable and farreaching inven
tion or discovery, as it embraces both
these, in recent years is that of Signor )
Marconi, who lately demonstrated it is
ability to send clearly perceptible tele
graph signals "through the air" from '
Cornwall in England to St. John's, N.
F., a distance of 1,800 miles, which ap
parently presages the establishment
of practical wireless telegraphy, with
all its vast possibilities In quick and
cheap transmission of intelligence be
tween the widely separated peoples of
the different continents and the islands
| of the sea.
Greut Works Begun or Contemplated.
The year 1901 lias witnessed the up
rearing of many large industrial enter
prises, though It lias not been remark
j able for the actual beginning or con
summation of any notably great public
works.
As compared with some previous
years, there has been but little new
railroad building in this country,
though it has been a conspicuous ele
ment in the development of some por
tions of the world. The great Trans
siberian road has been extended across
Asiatic Russia and Is being pushed on
through Manchuria to an outlet on the
Pacific. There is a proposition ad
vanced, seemingly more fanciful than
practical, though in this age of great
things not outside the pale of possibil
ity, to extend the Transsiberhtn rail
way to the Bering strait, cross this by
means of bridge, tunnel or steel ferry
boats, connect with a projected road
across Alaska to the present I'acilic
terminus of an American transconti
nental line and establish an all rail
route from Paris to New York.
The construction of the Uganza rail
road from the Indian ocean through
Africa to Victoria Nyanza. a distance
of about 1,500 miles, is in progress.
This Is to become a part of the con
templated British line to span the en
tire African continent. Manufactur
ers in the United States have contracts
for furnishing such bridges for this
road.
Before the pan-American congress a
proposition has been submitted to
build an International railroad from
north to south across the entire Amer
ican continent, which is not an under
taking too vast to be accomplished.
A railroad enterprise of unusual mag
nitude is that just begun by the Penn
sylvania company of tunneling the
North and East rivers and Manhattan
Island from Jersey City to Long Is
land City and the establishing of an
immense passenger station in the
heart of New York. It further contem
plates running through trains to the
extreme eastern point of Long Island,
there to establish an ocean port and
thus save twenty-four hours in a trans
atlantic voyage.
To Americans generally the most im
portant great public works in contem
plation are the Nicaragua canal, which
only awaits the authorization of con
gress, and that now seems fully assur
ed; the laying of a Pacific cable from
Snn Francisco, via Honolulu, to Ma
nila, either by a private corporation,
which lias already signified its desire
to undertake the enterprise, or directly
by and under government controi, and
the inauguration of a great national
system of irrigation for the reclama
tion of arid lands, as recommended to
congress by the president, which would
make fertile vast stretches of now
waste territory, capable of furnishing
sustenance for many millions of peo
ple, adding thus immeasurably to the
nation's wealth and well being.
Cltlm and Iloads.
One of the speakers at the good
roads congress at Buffalo maintained
that if the tide of migration to our
cities is to be turned it will have to be
done bv means of roads that make easy
communication with the surrounding
country. In that light the good roads
■ question takes on a new aspect.

fairs of the office in a manner that
gave great satisfaction to the people
of that enterprising city. Probably he
is better known for his activity in poli
tics, having long been one of the lead
ers of his party in Wisconsin.
Mr. Payne was born in Ashfleld,

from the Shclburne Falls academy in
1803 he removed to Milwaukee and b«v

member of the Republican national
committee.
Mr. Payne is president of the Mil
waukee Electric Railway and Light
company and president of the Wiscon
sin Telephone company. He was for
two years president of the American
Street Railway association and was at
one time receiver of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. Mr. Payne was appoint
ed postmaster of Milwaukee in 1876
and served twelve years, and it is said
he was the best postmaster that city
ever had.
The new postmaster general is of
small stature, but squarely and com

STYLISH FURS.
The Latest Fashion* For the Winter
Season.
Costumes made entirely of fur are
one of the season's novelties. Broad
tail is the favorite, but seal and Per
sian lamb are equally adaptable. The
skirt of such a costume is usually
made up with its lining of taffeta and
a wide bias ruffle to give the fashion
able flare around the feet. This ruf
fle is Joined in so skillfully that it is
inqiossible to perceive the point from
which it starts. A blouse jacket with
rounded fronts allowing a soft full
blouse of lace to be seen occasionally
Is a very pretty model. The sleeves
are very chic made full from the el
bow down, with wide turnover cuffs.
Medici collars incrusted with rich lace
are often seen on these fur costumes,
and the lace applique is used down the
front, around the cuffs and about the
bottom of the skirt. Very often a pos
tilion effect is simulated with bands of
the lace around the hips.
All the fur garments this year are
lined with most beautiful pale colored
silks and brocades.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Continuance of the Service Depend#
on Good Roads.
In the forthcoming report of Super
intendent Machin of the free delivery
Bcrvlce there will be an extended dis
cussion of the necessity of good roads
in the extension and maintenance of
the service. Heretofore it has been re
quired that ID the establishment of the
service first consideration should bo
given to the condition of the roads. It
has developed that inspectors have only
superficially considered this question.
Recent official inquiries disclose the
fact that a portion of the roads of more
than 1,000 of the 4,500 routes now in
operation requires some repairs. While
the roads in the southwestern states, as
a rule, are in good condition there are
sections ere repairs are regarded as
essential in order that an uninterrupt
ed service may prevail during all the
year. Several months ago announce
ment was made that there were routes
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and lowa where the service
would be discontinued unless repairs
and improvements reported to the de
partment as necessary were made. In
most of these cases the warning of the
department has been heeded. It Is evi
dent, however, in several instances that
no serious consideration has been given
to the announcement of the postmaster
general in this connection.
In such cases the department is ad
vising road supervisors and other in
terested officials that the lack of care
given to the roads covered by rural
routes will, if continued, endanger the
permanency of the service. In discuss
ing this question today Superintendent
Machin expressed the opinion that ru
ral delivery would eventually solve the
question of good roads.
