HOW VINSON WALSH WAS KILLED AND
OTHERS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

ItfMOft
IWKj
Vinson Walsh, son of Thoma3 F.
Walsh, of Washington, was killed, and
four other prominent young members
of the Newport summer colony wero
Injured In an automobile accident at
Newport, It. I., Aug. 19. Tho Injured
include Mrs. James L. Kornochan, of
Hempstead, L.. I.; Harry Oclrlchs, son
of Charles M. Oelrlchs, of Newport
and New York; Herbert Pell, Jr., son
of Herbert Pell, of Now York, and
Miss Evelyn Walsh, sister of tho man
who was killed. It Is believed that all
the Injured will recover.
Tho automobile, which was driven
by young Walsh, struck the railing of
a bridge spanning a creek near East
ern Point and plunged Into tho water.
Whether Walsh lost control of it, or
the machine, became disabled has not
been ascertained.
Never before In the history of
American automoblllng has a wrecked
car carried so many persons known to
society as tho machlno that plunged
over tho railing of the bridge at New
port. Aboard of It wero the most noted
horsewoman of society, tho son and
daughter of ono of America's wealthi
est mining kings and two youthful
scions of foremost families In fashion
able life.
Tho young Walshes, Vinson, who
was killed, and his sister Evelyn have
become within the past year or so
somewhat important personalities In
tho younger Newport sot. Tho child

been interesting figures In the newly
developing social world. They havo

International Industrial Competition
Now Keen.
If the senso of modern civilization
forbids internecine war between occi
dental nations, International competi
tion still remains. In this Industrial
warfaro brain power and intelligence
will bo nay, must bo tho dominating
feature. It Is .recorded of that stal
wart and gonial soldier, Blucher, that
his flrst Impression of the London of
his day was an overpowering sense of
its tremendous wealth. "What a city
to sack!" tho descendant of the wild
Teutonic trlbeB, who had extorted tri
bute from Imperial Rome, Is said to
have exclaimed. To-day tho extent of
British commerco glveB rise to a simi
lar feeling In the mind of manufactur
ers descended from Blucher's soldiers.
The great contests will range around
tho neutral markets. To secure or
Increase a hold on these demands
smooth working among many conflict
ing factors In each competing country.
Somo of theso may be suggested, such
as abundance of local supplies of raw
material, or capital to exploit distant
sourcea. together with a fiscal system
admitting semi-raw or semi-manufactured
material freo of taxation. Of
importance also Is It that tho artisan
class should be sober, Industrious and
Intelligent. The manufacturer, who Is
tho general of a division In tho army
.of Industry, needs to bo equipped not
only with scientific knowledge but
with shrewd business Instincts of or
ganisation. In all countries certain, of
theso properties are possessed to a
high degree; Indeed, la America and
Germany Intelligence departments are
at work to aid the manufacturer, but
In eevoral their reports are Ignored.

DIAZ IS NOT RICH.
President of Mexico Only Compara
tively Well Off.
Contrary to the general opinion In
Mexico and abroad, President Diaz Is
not a very wealthy man. Intimate
friends of tho Mexican executive, who
havo knowledgo of his affairs, declaro
that his fortune does not exceed $1,
000.000. He owns a plantation in tho
Btate of Oaxaca, somo property in tho
City oty Mexico and a house In Paris.
This latter was purchased during his
first term as president of Mexico,
when ho feared that ho might be com
pelled to leave the country hurriedly
and seek refuge in a foreign land. The
salary of President Diaz is now $50,
000 a year. For many years it was
only J30.000, and, in the early days of
his administration, when Mexico was
weak financially, ho drew out only
enough for his necessary expenses,
leaving the remainder In tho treasury.
Ho Is now serving his twenty-flfth
year as president of Mexico.

Tho belief of Sir James Crlchton

aro as busy as In their younger days.
Lord Roberts at 73 is still worth 5,000

LAPSES OF GREAT WRITERS.
Best Authors Do Not Use Most Per
fect Language.
Thero is not a singlo great author
In our Htoraturo In whoso workB num
erous errors havo not been pointed out,
or thought to be pointed out They aro
charged with violating rules involving
the purity If not tho pqrmanenco of
tho language. A somewhat depressing
Inference follows from the situation
thus revealed. The ability to write
English correctly does not belong to
tho great masters of our speech. It Is
limited to tho obscure men who havo
devoted thomselves to tho task of
showing how far these vauntod writ
ers have fallen short of tho ideas of
linguistic propriety entertained by
their unrecognized betters. As a re
sult of those critical crusades there
is no escape from tho dismal conclu
sion that tho correct use of tho lan
guago Is not to bo found in tho au
thors whom every ono reads with
pleasure, but is an accomplishment re
served exclusively for those whom no

Where We Get Our Salt.
Salt Is bo common an article that
ono Is astonished when ho realizes
tho amount of it produced In the Unit
ed States during tho year 1904. The
number of barrels was 22,030 002
valued at G,021,222. In spito of this
enormous output coming mostly from
New York and Michigan, tho United
States imported salt to tho value of
over .half a million dollars and ex
ported 25,608,577 pounds, valued at
$99,066. The doposlta of salt In tho
United States aro not numerous thoso

According to the Engineering and

made Impervious to water by treating

soft soap, prepared by mixing three or
four palls of soft soap with a barrel of

Utopian Colony That Failed.

In 1877 endeavored to establish a
Utopian colony near Los Angeles, Cal.
The attempt was a failure, but Indirect
ly It did much good. Helena ModJeska
was ono of tho promoters, and her
financial losses Induced her to study
for tho English-speaking stage. She
appeared in San Francisco in "Adri
onno Leconvreur." The failure of the
Utopia also brought Slenkiewlcz into
wider notfeo. On his return to Europo
his American sketches wero read and

between Mrs. Pinkham and tho women
of America which has never been

It is more than possible that she has
