But five yeats earller, or gbout 1880, American manufacturers hegan to use silk. Pre- vious to that time all or nearly all silk umbrellas used in this country were im- ported from Europe. At the present time the estimated total amount of capital in- vested is placed at $3,000,000, as compared with $1,000000 twenty-fivé years ago and | $250,000 fifty vears ago. The approximate total number of umbrellas manufactured | fn the United States aggregates 9,000,000 per annum. In many respects umbrellas ‘manufactured in this country excel those of any other, but particularly as regards finish, neatness and close roll. A wag arrested for purloining an um- brella from an office building on a rainy day was asked by the Judge: “Do you wish to plead guilty to petty lareeny of kleptomania?" “Nelther, your Honor,” rep.icd the pris. onef at the bar. “‘It.is force o habit." That is the sentiment commonly enter- tained toward the transfer of this most useful article of personal property. Few consider it kleptomania and none stealing. Some ingeniously admit that it is a bad habit. Millions 6f umbrellas are manufactured in the United States every vear. The largest factories are in Pennsylvarnia, The great jobbing houses are bunched along Broadway, near Canal street. One of the big factories has a capacity of 7000 umbrellas daily. That is over 2,000,000 a year. Where do they go? “All over,” as a salesman put it. And if you glance up and down New York's streets, especially in the neighborhood of the Brooklyn bridge, after a severe rainstorm you will know that it is “all over” with many of the umbrellas. It does not take long to Bet 1id of an umbrella these days. One good puff of wind and the covering has gone inside out and the bars are hope- lessly bent—these are the cheaper ones, of course. There are good umbrellas, that cost considerable fnoney.

PRSI MONTREAL, Aug. 20.—The congress of Chambers of Commerce of the British | empire to-day adopted a resolution pro- viding that a recommendation be made to his Majesty’s Government to appoint & commission consisting of representatives of the empire and the colonies to con- sider the adoption of a commerelal policy within the British empire which shall materially strengthen it and which shall be based upon the principle of mutual | benefit. The delegates were the guests to-night of the Montreal Board of Trade at a ban- Qquet. Among those pfésent were Lieu- tenant General Governor Minto, Lord Btrathcona, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister; Lord Borden, leader of the Con- servative party in Canada; Lord Dundon- ald, commander of the forces, and Lord Brassdy, president of the board. Lord Minte made a remarkable speech, | in which he declared for closer union be- tween the different parts of the empire on a basis of preferential trade on well considered lines. He asked if Mr. Cham- berlain, with his splendid record and pres- ent position, would care to jeopardize his life's work for the sake of a mere im- perial dream, and concluded by saying that now was no time for those who had the welfare of the empire at heart to sit with folded arms.

There | were at that time probably mere than 300 such carvers working in New York. Many of them were driven out of the trade |into other and cruder lines of earving, [ and only a few of those who thus changed their medium have been able to find work of the old kind. Only a very small part | of those who do such carvidg belong to the class of true artists in Ivory, bone and meerschaum. Of such highly skilled | carvers the whole number could probably be counted on the fingers of two hands. The business grows very slowly. There are few native americans who have mas- tered the craft. Possibly a single em- | ploying carver, a native American of Ger- man parentage, {s the only one now en- gaged in the art. Onmly two skilled Jap- | anese carvers are employed in this city, {and no Chinese carvers have come to | town. Most of those engaged in the art are Germans, though a few Frenchmen nave worked here. The German-Amert- can referred to thinks that most Ameri- eans lack vatience to become skilled carvers. The .imerican haste is antag- onistic to the attitude of mind that the | successful carver must maintain. | German carvers of taste and skill could | earn much higher pay here than at home, and if more could come over they would und permanent employment, but they are not attracted by conditions here. On the whole, they can live cheaper in Germany than here and amid more congenial sur- roundings. Another consideration that de- ters the skilled carvers from coming to New York is the rumors they hear of Qisagreements between employers and em- ployed, strikes and trammeling union rules. Thev have a notion that trade union conditions here are such as to dis- turb the serenity of the artist. As a mat- ter of fact the artisti¢ carver would prob- ably be little disturbed by the wars of employed and employer, but the news that reaches Germany on this subject is alarm- { mer to see that he is not being watched, | at Harpers Ferry while leading his com- ing. Chinese earvers of real artistie akill would be very welcome here, but the dif- ficultiés presented by the Chinese exclu- | slon law help to keep them at home, for and it is by that habit that a thief has| pafiy in a charge on Maryland Heights, often betrayed his occupation to me. | September 13, 18:2. He was wounded twice “Frequently I have had to track and | at Gettysburg, losing over 55 per cent of identify men whom I have never seen, my | his company in killed and wounded. only means of identification being a pho- | tograph taken years ago. THhIs is usually | very difficuit to accomplish, however, as | it is easy for the criminal radically to| change his appearance. It is possible fori a man to pose as a sallor, a farmer, a | Bowe: tough or a pastor within, say, | twenty-four hours. Many criminals make a specialty of disguises, and I assure you they can alter thelr appearance to a re- markable degree. “Disguises, however, no matter how cleverly got up, do not always conceal a man’s identity. There are, for instance, the color and expression of the eyes. | These cannot possibly be altered, and they have heen one of the most frequent alds in identifying fugitive criminals. An- other identification mark, although not an | infallible one, but one nevertheless ' by which T have on several occasions detect- ed a criminal when other means failed me, are the cheekbones. Like the color Of the éyes, they cannot be changed. “Descriptions as to the weight and eir- cumference of a ‘wanted’ man frequently prove faulty and therefore unreliable as -8 aids to detection. This is especlally sd when a man has evaded the detectives for any great length of time, for it is possible that durlng his evasion the criminal may have lost a great deal of his welght and corpulency, while, on the other hand, a spare man may have galned in avolrdu- pols and bulk. In such cases, however, I have in one or two instances established the identity of the man I was after by his ears. As a rule, the worst criminals have oddly shaped ears, and no matter how cleverly they may disguise them- selves they can seldom succeed im con- cealing thelr telltale earmarks from the detective who has already made theit ac- quaintance. “The eyebrows also afford another means of personal identity, because they are invariably distinctive and character- istic to the trained detective. About three years ago I captured one of our cleverest crooks, a man who has served many terms in Sink Sing, by the peculiar slant of his eyebrows. At the time I ar- rested him he was wearing a wig and a flowing black false beard. The disguise might easily have deceived the casual ob- server, but to me there was one thing lacking to make it complete. He nhad for- gotten to alter his eyebrows, and they alone gave me the cue to his fdentity. “Clever criminals after making perhaps a rich haul somewhere will pay liberall; for effective disguises. A few faclal artis in New York City could tell you of the handsome prices they are frequently paid for makeups.”—New York Times. b —_——— Receiver Takes Charge of Mill. PORTLAND, Or..
